That •'< political policeman-' at Hawker's Bay is b poked for Irish promotion. Ho.lw a been called to Wellington to get a little in ild tuition as to his duties.

The Fiench Catholic missionaries' .on Upolu are complaining to their Govern ment. 1 Sbows how small the world is becoming when the Franco-German frontier difficulty' has arisen in the South Pacific ; The population of New Zealand on 30th j June last was 637,582, including 41,969 i Maoris The natural increase of popula tion is at the rate of 1,200 per annum 1 o , bl-? ■ June l ' iBBB the treafcy between breat Britain and Niaragua terminates How will that affect the American Canal \ project ? M. de Lesseps charms the French ladies as snakes charm birds, and no fewer than sixteen thousand women have put money; into his Panama Canal scheme. ' More Auckland patentees still—proving the go-ahead character of the Queen of the! North. The well-known inventor, Mr Walter Greenshields, lias deposited a specification lor an invention for drinking, to be styled the' Jubilee Effervescing Tumbler." Mr J. L. Crumpe, Devonport, is the in-' venter of a new trap or contrivance to catch fishes, birds, or animals. Mi* Moses Bate, of Parnell, has deposited specifications for an invention to be called' the • University Gravity Purifier and Sep arator Machine." Mr Meyer Levisohn, of Messrs Dobbie andLevisohn, has deposited specifications; tor a duplex shovel," and for,a "seed cleaner. Mi* Charles R. Lester, of Mount Roskill Road, seeks letters patent for a neiv machine for washing clothes, to be known as the Mistress Washer." The farmers in and around Whatawhata! ITL ten v SivinS "U the support they can to ■ the Freezing Company's creamery in the' Waipa River. Mr Rothwell intends milk-: ing 22 cows to supply cream. Cholera lately broke out in Loochoo, and carried off both tho Japanese doctors sent over to deal with it. Owing to the scarcity of food the people had becopef accustomed to eating the unripe taro, and thus brought the disease upon themselves. It has been discovered that war material to an immense extent has been smuggled into Acheen by Chinese merchants, who"run whole cargoes with impunity. Rifles and revolvers are concealed in beams of timber, avowedly imported for building purposes. At the window of Mr Williamson, tobac conist, is a drawing of " Jeremiah " driving a harrow over the Lake County Councillors. This proves that Mr Harrow reads his Bible, as the suggestion has evidently been taken from the children of Israel harrowing the Philistines with harrows. The peach trees in Whatawhata are, suffering badly from the severe gales during' the last fortnight. There will be very little . fruit on the trees growing in exposed places.: Canterbury Lawn Tennis Club has now; 150 members, and a champion tournament, is projected at Christchurch this season. "This is a very handsome picture," he observed politely to the artist. " What do you call it ?" " That is a study from still life." " What is the name of it V "A Tramp at Work." Sir Julius Vogel is to give a public address at Napier to-morrow evening, in furtherance of the candidature of Mr Ivess.

Mr Ormond, the " great statesman," wished Sir Julius to fix a debate with him after his address, after the style of the Stout-Mackenzie battle at Naseby; but the wily Treasurer was " not on." Mr O'Brien, the imprisoned Irish M.P.,is posing as a martyr to the brutal Saxon. Mr Parnell complains that he has been treated like a felon, and confined in a damp cell 9 feet by 4 feet in size. The Govern ment knew that his health was delicate, and that the Government intended to kill him. Here is a neat commentary on the present attitude of the London " Thunderer." From the "Times," November 4, 1859:— " The destiny of a nation ought to be de termined, not by the opinions, of other nations, but by the opinions of the nation itself. To decide whether they are well governed or not is for those who live under that government.": jL"''' "" In order to show that Ponsonby clay can grow fruit as well as make bricks, Mr Mason,of Ponsonby,has at the present time a splendid display of oranges at the auction room of Messrs Arthur aud Buddie. Some ten or fifteen cases of these oranges have already been disposed of. Those parties who blackball Ponsonby clay had better pay a visit to Mr Mason's orchard, and judge for themselves what Ponsonby can produce. At the Thames Fire Brigade's concert lasb night Mrs Fraser, Mayoress, presented the medals arid certificates awarded by the Humane Society to those miners who en-' deavoured to rescue the late Messrs Hill and Casley. on the occasion of the gas accident in the Caledonian mine some months ago. As many as twenty Congregational churches have been organised within two years in Southern California, and a marked revival spirit prevailed during the lasb winter. Another claim for compensation for loss of foreshore rights has been served on Wellington City Council, this time by J. McCarthy, brewer, claiming £6,000. The first wedding that has ever been celebrated in Christchurch Cathedral took place yesterday afternoon, when Mr G. H. Rhodes, of Claremont, was married to the youngest daughter of Mr J. C. Thierens, of Otaio. The Primate officiated, and there were dense crowds in and around the build-

mg. How many of the candidates who now howl about "Protection to Local Industries" will act consistently with their pledges when they get to Wellington ? Mr W. N. Blair, in his lecture on New Zealand, said : —"A senator waxes eloquent over the benefits that are to accruefrom the establish ment of native industries, to keep the money in the country; but when he retires to Bellamy's to refresh the inner man after his exertions, he will not touch what he calls (>he ' beastly colonial.'
