Proper Jubilee observance. Auckland Freemasons forming a widows' and orphans' fund.

" True religion and undefiled," according to St. James.

Going to perdition, ricnoVrting to Sinner Dowie.

Oh, write a big D before Dowie's name. Cambridge folks are proposing to have a coursing match on the Jubilee Holiday. Not a bad idea, if the whole colony would turn out and chew un the rabbits on that

day. Jolly jubilee for the squatters, who would , get rid of their natural enemy, and rabbif? pie galore for the poor man ! The queerest jubilee idea was that of an , English publican who started a new kind of competition. It was to be limited to girla under ifsri years of ago, and the prize was to fo to the one who during- three months rought most jugs or bottles to be filled with beer at his bai\

I saw that; but the enterprising publican was told that his scheme was illegal and he had to drop it. : Talking of publicans, I. see it is stated that Mr Fisher intends to introduce a Bill to prevent brewers' owning public houses.

Goodness gracious ! If that passes every " pub " in Auckland will be closed with one or two exceptions. ' Our noble jury system is in danger ; the "palladium of British liberty" is being undermined ! It is proposed to abolish Grand Juries and Special Juries. No great losa if they are wiped out. Why ! Thomas Hall, the prisoner, was one of the special jurors draAvn the other day on the Iveas'v. Kerr libel case ab Timaru ! He was excused attendance.

How considerate ! A stern sense of duty would have insisted on his being present; Real jam at the Scotcli concert last night. "Jam-tarts,"too. •;. ,■■•: r 'i

Shows that many Ancklanders "dearly love a lord." , .-,.,-■

Said a Scotchman last night, when the hall was so crammed, ■• ■.■■■■>: ' ■• ■ "It I don't see the Lord may I hope to be jammed!" ... rt-n-fl ■* ■<

And properly jammed he was, I expect. A lady lost a valuable gold bracelet in the crush. , ~;. ..

Hope she may find it. The Committee of the Burns Club' apologise" to the public for the lack of accommodation.

Why should the public growl? The' Committee couldn't enlarge the hall at a moment's notice. . : < Earl and Countess gone to Rotoru'ai; ' Actire toui-ist traffic to that hot'region/ Hayr's agency sent through sixteen1 tourists thismorning. , - <a.." [ ;-.;;;';■■'■, "Ul '>'-'■ The recent fire at .Rotorua i3^blamed on some unknown Maori incendiarjr.. ; .■!'[' Too bad. John Maori, with all his faults, is no incendiary. . ~ , ,

That's probably because he doesn't under stand the blessings of fire insurance.

Hard times ; it is proposed; to. close the branch Bank of. .New Zealand at Ngaruu wahia.

Talking of hard times, let's get back to Rotorua. Are you aware that a lot of Maoris are employed on Government works there at 7s to 8s a clay ? . . . : .-, -j ;

\yhat! If that's true it's simply atro cious to pamper those lazy beggars while dozens of able white men are.,in.want. • ':

Good thing to be petg.oitjjtegovernment, you see. ,•■;.

The coal slab got near Bombay is found to be of inferior quality, but it probably in dicates good seams in the neighbourhood.. Scorns so ! Carriage drives are to be made through the Domain.

Oh, of course ; consult the wishes of the "jam tarts" befoi'e those of the working men. More need to put scoria on the foot paths, and make them passable in web weather,' than to make a carriage drive. ' ' Don't drive so fast! You're altogether mistaken, and it will be as much to tlia interest of the working man as anybody else to have the Domain improved in this way, and made a popular resort for respect able people instead of a happy hunting ground for larrikins. ,- . j Band of Hope meeting to-night iv St. Andrew's school-room. , • ;;

First-class prize takers at the annual Band of Hope competition will assist. There should bo a laige attendance.

Hint for the Burns Club.

A dramatic company at Hamilton, -under the management of. Mr James Reid, .are rehearsing the romantic Scottish drama of " Rob Roy " for early production there. : ■, ■

By the way, they've got another " saurian "at large up that way. , ■ •., ,

Oli, no; its only the old monster, thai wasn't caught. What's your theory of tha affair 7 : . • • ~ , . ■ ;

That big gooseberries are ! scarce this season. ... . , : ■

Cruel joke by Mr Cooper in the Thames District Court the other day.

Ho was giving a reason for the absence of a bankrupt ■whom ho desired to-publicly examine, and said he had been informed; that such was due owing to the confine ment of the debtor's wife, "and," "addedi Mr Cooper, " I suppose the ; bankrupt is' absent for a similar reasonl-ho is ,-expect ing, confinement." : ;.:.!■: ,; '-■■, ! "Drain pipes made by, c Cardcr Bros., of Ponsonby, are being*, largely, used by iVcl-; lineton City Council. •'■--. !> • Advance Auckland industries !..■*.. ■<-. .-.

Sir George Grey's Law Practitioners Bill well received by the House this year.

Glad to hear it. His bill to repeal the C.T). Act has been summarily chucked out. I

That was to be expected; but l.hopea better fate awaits his Eight Hours Bill.. '

Ah ! That, measure should ,ho.ye a good chance this year,'for members1 daren't op pose it with a general1 election ao hear;at hand. ! ■' ■':'■ '■"■ • : ■'"' '■■'■' • '■

I was right about the Representation Bill; the Premier- has " caved in;" ahd' where is the prospect now of reducing the number of members? ■ '•'•• '^ -■■' i■' ■ ■ Humph ! The' Misrepresentation Bill1 would be a good name for the measure once it is " doctored " to suit; every district and1 party.
