It is only about twenty years since Japan come ont from her seclusion, at the invitatation of Commodore Perry, and only fifteen years since she began to look into the manufactures of other countries, hut in that time she has made phenomenal progress, and it will not be long before she will rank among the first manufacturing nations of the world. The venerable arch-priest S. J. A. Sheehy, of Sydney, was born in the city of Cork, Ireland, in 1527, and be is now 57 years of age. In 132S he arrived with his parents in New South Wales, and his coming there when a a mere child has been the cause of his being regarded as an • ustralian native.

I Tuberculosis,, with which the Sydney medico advised the New South Wales i Government to infect the rabbits a« J the bast means of eradicating, them, i>; apparently to have a fair trial in j Otago. The Wakatip Mail of Friday says :— " With reference to the diaoaso amongst the rabbits on Mr C. C. Bovpr' property, referred to by us last week, the gentleman named informs us that some of the animals have beon examined by Dr Douglas, who pronounces the disease to be uhdoubtedly tuberculosis, attacking both lun»s and liver — especially the latter. ° The dissase is infectious, and itja Baid that any animal attacked is- bound to succumb and die. The settlers in th« Arrow district have been unusually active lately, and many seem to have decided on taking conoerted and energetic steps to exterminate the rabbit 1 est, by artificial process of fumigationHere, however, an unexpected friend. ' has turned up, and we should advise i the settlers generally to lose no time, , before the plague dies out, to procure L some of the doomed rabbits from Mr f Boyes, who will, no -doubt, be happy to r supply tham as far as possible. " > "Civis" says :— The , police have j been busy of late prosecuting&^urober > of individuals who, like defcected««&oolr boys, " didn't know they were elding - any harm." For .being found upon » certain premises in company wijbb a t blackboard and some' tin labels, tod . for steadfastly , regarding the said b board and labels, these persons have r been arrested, searched, convicted, and . fined. A hard case truly. And their 3 guilt has moreover been presented to j them in stern and uncompromising , language. They have been charged as 3 '" evil-disposed persons " who have been i "unlawfully procured" to do this . thing. We are reminded thereby of s the master mariner who, being wilSbiu i five miles of Sandwich, — being of evil . disposition, and not having the fear of r God before his eyes, did- wilfully, s maliciously, and devilishly cost into B the sea sundry, that is to say' divers, I empty bottles against the peace of. our t Lady the Queen.

It is a coquette who may 1 only be addressed at stated times and . seasons, and while under the immediate r guardianship of its papa, the Jockey Club.
