THE JUBILEE.

The Canadian proposal for the Jubilee "sserviee of eoag " is ihafc it s»h«, 1 commence on Juny 20, at half-past thiee, astronomical time, with the Old Hundredth, •' AH People that od Earth to Dwell," and at 4 p.m. each assemblage shall sing three verses of the National Anthem. A northern contemporary gives the fol lowing indicative enumeiauon of the British possessions through which the " service of Bong" would successively pass, and it may please some of our schoolboys to trace it on a Mercator map and see if it is convci and complete:— It is loyally to be hoped that her Majesty will not have her quiet rest disturbed on that Suaday mornii g by being told at twenty-one minut< s past four that we have raided the anthem at Auckland; her Fijian aubjects having jusfc opened the orchestra of the world-wide empire a quarter of an hour before. All down the coastlines of New Zealand it will swell until a quarter of an hour la er it will be borne away from Duaedio across the TasmanSea and le taken up at Sydney ; then from Brisbane to Melbourne, Hobart, and Adelaide it will go floating over the Continent of Austra lia until, as her Majesty may be supposed to eeat herself at breakfast at sixteen minuses past eight, the anthem will float away fiom the churches of Perth ; and crossing the Indian seas be heard so.inding from Hongkong twelve minutes later. As the clock in Windsor will point to five minuteß past nine Singapore wili raise its voice to send the an'hem on to Calcutta, Which an hour aad two minutes later will lead the millions ef India in singing " God save the Queen." Then Madras, Colombo, aad Bombay will take it up in turn, with the myriads of population in the intervening country, and in an hour and ten minutes after entering India the hymn will be launched across the Indian Ocean from Bombay, and as Her Majesty noteß ten minutest past noon on her watch at .W jndsor she will know that the hymn invoking blessings on her is beiDg raised by her loyal Creoles at S~ Louis, in Mauritius. Then the anthem will fly back across tlie Indian Ocean and fifty minutes afier will be heard at Aden, while the clock strikes one at Windsor. Five and fifty minufrs later the symphony will swell up at the same inßtant from Cairo in Egypt and Addington at the Cape of Good Hope, and for fifty nvmitfa more will be travelling from point to point in the vast southern provinces of the great datk continent Thtn from Capetown it will be borne in a quarter of an hour to distant Malta, from which, borne with the rays of the sun, it will strike the coast of England, and the British L lands, through all their cities, and towns, and hamlets will break forth in singing " God Save the Queen." Then the strain wili be taken up at ft. Helena, Sierra Leone, and Ascension laland, and from that lonely outpost in the Atlantic the anthem ringing from British ship to ship tiaversing the trackless waters will be heard from St. John in Newfoundland, while the

clock at Windsor will point to 31 minutes

past seven at night. Keachiug Cape Brer on at eight o'clock by Windsor time, it will at intervale of two or three minutes ba heard

from cities and towns in Prince Edwards

Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Qaebfic, Ontario, Manitoba, and Britii-h

Columbia, until thirteen miuutes past mid night at Wiudsor, when it may be hoped Her Majesty will be swettly slumbering, hearing only the dream voices of her subject far aw»y. The National Anthem will be

last heard from Vancouver Island, and then

die away over the Pacific Ocean. The scheme is one of the most picturesque of all the contributions to the celebration of the

Diamond Jubilee, and it is much to hoped that New Zealand will cheerfully respond to the request of Canada, and assist in Eending the National Anthem floating around the globe.

We learn (saya the Timatu Herald) that Mr C. K. Meredith-Kaye has sold his property known as Men? gen, at Salisbury, to Mr E. M. Goodwin, late of Cracroft, Rangitata. The propery embraces 304 acres of capital land, and the residence is large and handsome.

Mr David Jones, the well-known prinicipal of the Catholic School, here notifies in another column that he has arranged to open a night school in which all the subjects of the Government Syllabus, as well as higher subjects will be taught. His advertise ment appears on our third page. This affords an excellent opportunity to those who have left school before completing their education to bring up arrears, so to speak, and fit themselves for the battle of life,

PARLIAMENT has decreed that New Zealand shall excel any Australian colony in the numerical strength of her mili tary contingent, and it is a foregone conclu sion that Her Majesty will be advised by the Secretary of Stste, the Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, to reciprocate the unexpected extent, of our loyalty by some recognition worthy of a devoted people, who have sent such a mili tary force to demonstrate our warlike in stincts and ability to aid old England in the event of war. That recognition will be, without doubt, a title to the originator and tactician who has carried his proposals in the face of a hostile secion of Parliament. No doubt Her Majesty will deem a mere knighthood too meagre an honour for a statesman who has shown such Imperialistic exuberance. Qusen Victoria will undoubtedly chow some die crimination in awarding honours to Colonial Premiers, and we may look forward with confidence to the Liberal Leader of New Zealand returning with something more than a "Sir" to his name. The form of title itself may not be so very easy to place. There is one which from the analogy of strength and popularity will be generally accepted at; Home and abroad as apropos. The Premier will go home as plain Mr. Seddou. What if he should return as LORD SURATURA? He is Strong. Su is Suratuta Tea He has promised Economy. So does Suratura Tea He is not a blend of India or China. No more is Suratura Tea His name is known throughout N.Z, So is that of Suratura Tea ! He has a reputation. So has Suratura Tea He goea farther than other Premiere. So does Suratura than ordinary Teas JOHN ORB & CO., Agwt,
