The Wellington " Post" speaking of the, New Ministry, says that Major Atkinson ia "a very Pooh Bah in the multitude of his! offices."

Here they are:—Premier, Colonial Trea surer, Postmaster-General, Commissioner' of Telegraphs, Commissioner of Customs, Commissioner of Stamp Duties, and Minis- , ter of Trade and Marine.

Hungerford and Mackay's engine-shed at R«efton was destroyed by fire yesterday morning, and & number of locomotives were damaged. : That's bad, but its worse to learn that forty men are thrown out of employment, and ife will require at least a couple of months before work can be resumed.

A merry meeting at Wairarapa. A local butcher tried to argue with the editor of the " Observer " on election topics, and as they came to blows the R.M. will be asked to decide the dispute. . In the library of Madame Hazard, the ec centric old Russian lady who lately died iji East Melbourne, were a Decameron 1 (1585) and several rare Baeilia editions. Madanie Hazard had long livetl in Rome.

A Wellington telegram states that " The submarine armament of the colony has so far bosb about £20,000." Could this "submarine," expenditure be correctly called a " sinking fund?" . •

It takes the tusks of 75,000 elephants a year to supply the world's piano keys, billiard balls, and knife blades.

The bootmakers of Adelaide are honest straight-out protectionists — they advocate the prohibition of the importation of boot protectors. . , f

In the Tasmanian Assembly the other evening, I)r. Ciowther perpetrated a delicious bull. Speaking to rf the vote for Tasmanian scholarships,, he said, " These scholarships, assist young men to attain positions to which they can never aspire." It would take & clever Irishman to beab this.

The question of dividing California into two states is being strongly agitated by the southern countries. The headquarter** of the movement are at Los Angeles. It is bitterly • opposed by the northern section. ■ ■ 7*. ;

The law which provided for the immedi ate execution without trial of train-wreckers in Mexico has been veiy effective, and, it is believed, made train-wrecking a thing of the pasfc in that country. Perhaps a similar law in New Zealand, applied to incendiar ists, would tend to diminish the number of "accidental fires." .

It is stated as a fact that every member of the Irish National Party in the House of Commons is a total abstainer. .
