The Two Road?N.S.W. “Don’t you think we’d better take the road to independence?”
Parkes “No the road to imperialism—I know it well—is nice and broad, and when we get to the en it there are plenty of pretty ribbons and decorations for us all. I have many rich and hospitable friends, too, on the way.
N.S.W. Very well do as you please, but I’m sure we shall be robbed.”

Sporting Law—Weight for Age“Very strong evidence is now forthcoming that Newman, one of the Mount Rennie lads, who was originally ordered to he hanged, and is now serving a life-sentence in irons, is altogether innocent. His case will be fully dealt with on the return from England of Judge Windeyer. Newman's petition that he may meanwhile be altogether relieved of his irons, will not be acceded to, but it has been decided to substitute light irons for the heavy fetters with which the young convict is at present burdened.”—Daily Paper.
Governor Carington (his head full of the cup): “Haw! I think the little filly—I mean the little colt—is a bit overweighted. Take off a stun and a half.”

That idea of yours of colonial federation for purposes of defence is immense it proves that we are ready to sink all intercolonial jealousies in a common cause. Now, I have an idea. Melbourne, you know, being the most important city in the Colonies, of course, had better be headquarters.”
Gen. Parkes: “Ha-hum—er—I mean—that is, after all, perhaps, there is no immediate danger. Suppose we talk of some other subject of intercolonial interest.”
