London, Aug. 19.--Victims of injus- tice are many, but few of them have such a romantic history as John W. Burt, a little white bearded, old man, who sells newspapers, boot laces and ma i the county lodging houses, and hy 45 gro three times a day 'ocil, ane of London' most luxurious caravansaries, It is probably due to the fact that the requirements of his inmer man are so abundantly satisfied that Burt, de spite his eighty-five years, endures his T i guinely awaits the day when his wrongs will be righted and he will be restored again to affluence. It is to Premier 'Dick' Sedden, of Neu Zealand, Hot the old man is in- « t strange tempering of the wind to the shorn lamb. Re and pals" at the Ballarat go! diggings in Australia long years ago. Then they did not meet again until they ran across each other in London a Jew years ago. Burt was havi a 'hard time of it and Seddon was being feted everywhere, That made no difference to the big hearted premier. He broke an engage- ment. with a titled nabob that he and the old man might dine together at the Cecil. And when he returned to New Zealand, he left directions with the proprietor that Burt should be allowed to take what meals he pleas- ed there. The bills are settled by Sed- nm. It wag a trumpery dispute about a wa "hat was the source of all his misfortune. One day he sent a gold watch to a watchmaker in Fingal to be ired. His watch was not re rn but another of inferior quality. The matter was then taken into court, The tables were turned on Burt, and he was fined $1,000, which he has been all these years trying to Pay. ' The Ladies' Story. Wellington, Aug. 17.--(To the Fdi- tor) : On the evening of August 12th, two ladies from the American side, who were renewing acquaintances . in Kingston and vicinity, signalled a street car to stop on Princess street, in order that they might proceed to Barrie street. One lady was encumber ed with a suit case, and the other with a hand satchel and coat. The lady with the suit case had taken hold of the hand rail, and placed the case on the floor of the car, Hut had not stepped on the foot-board. The other lady, who was injured, had reached the fund rail and stepped on the foot board when the car started, compell- ing the first Indy to get off as Pont possible, and taking the other lady ajout a block, standing on the foot hoard, when she was thrown from the oar to the ground, before she was able to enter a seat, Aftor the lady was thrown from the car, it continued its course for about A block, when the car was stopped jad. the conductor Salked back to the accieent happened. Two gen: tleman, who were on the pavement, came forward and very kindly assisted the injuried lady into Mahood's drug Store. It was suggested by the lady Adbduipanying injured one, that a doctor once, but the clerk not deem it ne- though this should have at once, as Dr. R. K.
