NortTFir/MJJKnLAJfD -wrecked: Should now ba called " Cumber-land;" Slie won't cumber the beach iongj it strikes me, between the waves on .the One; hand and tho Napier " hoodlums " on the other ! Rare treat for " soakers "-300 gallons o| rum strewed along tho beach ! Better treat for the Mangawai farmers thousands of good Rarotonga orangeg floated into their gardens. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good J Fearful Earthquakes in California ', a» town destroyed and many lives lost. All confirming that Austrian professor's prediction that I told you about the other day. Last three nights of the London Circus. , Herr Schmitt« notree musicale, to-night. ,'' New programme at the Bellringors' En« tortainment; a splendid selection to be presented. •'■■-■■ The Tonga inquiry is now closed, butt the result is not known. But I guess that Premier Baker scored a point at the close by. pleading in ternational laws. Shouldn't wonder though he should cut out the Diamond fellows. He knew what he was about when he made treaties secur ing the independence of Tonga. Music hath powers— To charm the savage breast! Everybody knows that. But it has also power to raise money.' Mr Kennedy, the deceased Scottish singer, left L 14,100 in personal estate and L 1,400 heritable—together L 15,500. Dogs causing damage in the Albert Park are threatened with extinction. The sale of work at the V.M.C.A. Rooms closes to-night. , Our baker may boast that his bread can't be' beaten; Yet; his loaves, as a rule, are a paradox quite; For thoyre heavy as lead shortly after they're oaten; But if placed on the scale they're remarkably light. That Rotorua Maori has been committed for trial on the charge of setting fire to the Government building. ■ The Baroness Rothschild in Paris has an nounced a coming series of Sunday after noon dances for young girls. Great political excitement prevails at Wellington. " Suppressed " excitement, however. Ib was very convenient for the Government that the telegraph wires got down at the right time ! The Opposition are determined to force on the Representation discussion before the Budget debate. ' Quite right thoy are too; but I guess they are safe to defeat the Government on any issue that may be raised. The New Zealand educational system is by no means the dearest in the world, as some people suppose. How do you arrive at that conclusion ? I find that the cost per head of average attendance in different places is an follows : N.B. Wales £6 4s, Victoria £5 9s s£d, Queensland £6, South Australia £6 5s 3Jd, New Zealand £5 2a 5Jd, Tasmania £8 5s 4|d, England £414s 2s. . ■
