" Britannia and Her Daughters'' will soor> appear in Auckland. Newmarket Fire Brigade uniforms,, cost ing £80, have arrived. '. Why go to England for them, to- th» neglect of local industry ?

Countryman to his eon, at a concert, during the performance of a duet; "D'ye see, Tom, now it'? getting late, they're singing two at a time so as to get done sooner." The most remarkable fact concerning tho busy bee is, that in addition to making honey it "cells" it. The selfish man has the most presence of mind. He never forgets himself. Mr Button has been nominated by the Governor as the Northcote and Birkenhead representative of Auckland Harbour Board. Gunner McCorkihdale, winner of tho Carbine belt, had a royal reception at Oamaru last night, on his return from the firing.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

With regard to the change made in the civil service examinations we learn from Wellington that the new regulations have been agreed to in Cabinet for junior and senior Civil Service examinations in con nection with the transfer of these examina tions which is now being arranged. The examinations are to be conducted by the Education Department instead of being left to a - separate Board, as hitherto. The Act of last session pro vided for competitive examinations—that is to say, that candidates who come out best should have a preferential claim to any vacancies that occur. It is for this reason that the two examinations a year are dis pensed with in tavour of one. Successful candidates will only enjoy preference until the list of the next examination is out, so that they will only have a chance of vacan cies occurring every twelve months. If the twelve were reduced to six months, vacan cies would be so few that successful com petitors would enjoy little advantage. While this arrangement is well enough so far as it goes, the new regulations ought to have been ea framed that faith would be kept with those boys who have been working up for the examinations previously advertised by the Government. Our remarks a week or two ago on the subject of a Parcel Post have elicited the information from Wellington that the post as authorised by an Act of last session will be set in operation early in the Spring. It is explained that the reason why it has not bsen established sooner is that the initiation of the system will cost a considerable sum, which the Postmaster-General was unwilling to incur during the current year. Orders have now been given for the necessary appa ratus, and the system will be initiated about June or July At present it is not proposed to establish a Parcel Post beyond this colony. There is a difference of opinion as to how far this is desirable, and the Legislature has not yet authorised it. Sir Julius Vogel's cable scheme meets with uncompromising opposition from the " Otago Daily Times." That journal eaye that "Us object ia to put in hand a large .financial operation of exceedingly specula tive character; to device new means of bor rowing; to Mirround a large loan with a halo of epeciouH grandeur. -Fortunately, the scheme is so extravagant, and its author's sanguine temperament so tho roughly understood throughout Austral asia, that there is little fear of his proposals obtaining the slightest hold upon the public mind But at a time when our credit is in so delicate a condition we regard it as peculiarly inopportune for a prominent! member of the Government to be bringing torward five-million echem.es and inventing new methods for increasing the debt of the Australasian colonies. It has long been evident that the credit of New Zealand ia suffering from . the presence at the Treasury of a financier whose reckleesness is so well knewn at Home a3 is Sir Julius Vogel's ; but if we are obliged to put up with the consequences of the Treasurers reputation, webaveat least a right to demand of the Premier that Sir Julius Vogel shall not be allowed to promulgate, with the authority of his official poeition, prospectuses which will tend to increase the distrust felt of the colony, and to impede the efforts of the body of colonists to show we have returned to a sober frame of mind, and are honestly anxious to live prudently for the future."'
