NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The prolific birth rats of Now Zealand is rapidly giving the native-born population an ascendancy among the inhabitants of New Zealand. According to the last een -Bus more thrn one half the population were native born. T.hofigures were as follows: — ' Total population (exclusive of Maoris), 578,482. , Born in New Zealand .. .. .. 3G0.190 " " Australian ooloniei .. .. 17,215 " " United Kingdom 235.856 '" " Other British possessions .. 3,953 " •' Foreign countries.. ■.. .. 18,885 '• '• At sea.. .. • •_■.. .. .. 1,321 " V Unßuecifled .. .. .. _ 2.029 Of the above, 560,598 are British sub jects, while 17,884 are foreign subjects. No doubt the native-born population, ie. largely made up of children ; but it is evi dent from these figure* that adult New Zealanders fora no inconsiderable item in. the population. Their proportion to the whole will, of course, increase year by year.. In another twenty years the destinies of New Zealand will be chiefly in the hands of native born men and women. The census returns of school attendance state the num ber of children in the colony between the ages of 5 and 15 U 151,685, of whom 76,579 are males and 75,100 female's. The chil dren attending school are .as follows :—, At Government school;, 57,040 male;, 53,601 females; total, 110,611. Frivata schools : 6,667 males, 8,281 females; total, 14,948. Sunday-schools: 48,500 males, 51,875 females; total 99.884. Receiving tuition at home ; 3,346 males; 4,221 females; total 7,5671 Lord Salisbury in his speech made in tho debate on the addresa-in-reply apparently regards the political situation in Europe, as no more menacing now than for some months back, and Lord Randolph Churchill has formally announced that he >esignecl- '•"'cause he considered the military and t>»^J_; estimates excessive and thought. that England ought not to go in for tho desperate Bt»Kuo for which other nations are playing. It may be interesting to our readers to have a French opinion on the recent threatening : despatches, i \"L* Oceanien," a French newspaper published in Sydney, in its issue of the 15th mat., concludes a hopeful review of the relations -- between France andUornisny with theseßaga words: "la spite of the bellicose prose which is leisurely poured out by the press of revenge a O'tirance, .the French: nation . wh'lch awakes from its torpor ie order to outer upon an era of progress and ot enlightenment, begins to compre hend that one revenge Barries in its train an olhor revenge on the part of the vanquished, and thot hatred engenders hatred. She rm3 herself, she takes"" precautions j.to" defend herself in case of need, but we ara onvinced that she will be the last to enter the listt." Arrangementshavebeenmadoforfcheforth coining Rifle Association meeting at Christ' church which should ensure-the complete success of the gathering. There w^ill be 24 targets placed close to the foot of the hill. The short range targets will be card board of a special quality, aad the long range targets ot canvas 'i '■ improved on last year.
