The Spanish Chamber of Deputies ' h<&' adopted a bill establishing trial by jury A cross old bachelor suggests that births should be announced under the head of no* music. ; '"' - • ■■■■ ■■•'.(. ,'■;':! * i Our railway managers might get a lesson \ from Tasmania, where the Governmerit lines show an increasing traffic at less cost although the rates for passengers and good's have been considerably reduced. Mr Back is the -manager, and he is " not' backward in going forward." " The great mis-manager" was what Mr- Vaile called Mr Maxwell at St. James's meeting last night. AtGisborne yesterday W. S. Cross was committed for trial for embezzlement of funds of the local Road Board, of which ho was clerk. The amount unaccounted for was nearly HOO. The Canterbury footballers, who arrive here on Monday, are expected:to be presenu at the Buffalo Minstrel en6ertainment' that evening. "Go amongst your unemployed," said Mrs Gordon Baillie to a Melbourne re- S>rter the other 'day., "andif you find a ighlander with them I'll eat' him." Mr Henry Churton, founder.of'churton College, aninstitution endowed by him foi the education of the native race, is very ill, and hardly expected to recover. J Dunedin1 Chamber of Commerce is taking action with a view to: having the col my represented at the Melbourne Exhibition, i Rose Pearson has been fined ~LA and costs at Wellington for burying a chikL|li|her backyard. % , Dunedin City Corporation have se^P>d a ■windfall from'the sinking fund, the Judge having decided that they are entitled to k refund from the commissioners of L 10,224. This will make a substantial reduction in the overdraft. Ah ! That comes of having the Colonial Treasurer down there to put them up to » '' wrinkle ". or two.» ' v The Wangauui "Chronicle" bases ' a leading article on the assumption 'that Mr J Larnach hasleft the Ministry in place q! * only handing ov6r the Marine Department to Sh- Julius Vogcl. "The only thing ; I could, find charac teristic of Wellington when I was there was a disposition to hangon the GkWcrotnenfe for everything'," said Mr Vdile at St. James's? Hall last'evening. ■ . •- '..' jjgj. The '! Sydney Morning Her«Bj|ten'mak ing iuqnirics from the AgenH^Bm!, re ceived intimation that it'was EaTly Sturt,; Widow of,the explorer, and not the relict o!f Sir Alexander Stuart; who died,in London in July. Only twelve laymen attended a Bible iri- Schools meeting at Napier last night. The Lynch Family of BellringerSj after'a successful tour from Wellington,; com menced a short'season at New Plymoutli last night to a large audience. ; Mr Vaile has a great dislike to the woi;d Englishman. He thinks that the people of the U.K. should be called Britons or Britishers. The Scottish " chiels " had an enthusias tic audience, at Devonport last night, 'a'ucl; are pretty sure to have the same to-night at 3 the Foresters' Hall, Karangahap'e Road. Great' complaints are made about the conduct of the Sydney unemployed, wlio get drunk in large gangs on pay day. Disgraceful scenes occur, and it-is said the men do little ! fpr the money paid them, which ranges/ iii the casfe of the Na'tiojial Park work, from L 4,900 to LiiflOO a' fort night. ■ '■ ' ' ' jjgJL "Ah," said Jobolcus, taking his friendfp; baby, "h^has got his mother's eyes-and my hair," lie added, as the youthful prodigy grabbed him by the foretop.'., ■ • Read the instances quoted by Mr Vaile. at his meeting last night'of" the anomalies of the railway "goods tariff. They are almost as funny as a- batch of " gags "by Hugo's corner men. On dit that a' warder at Mcnint-Eden gaol has been suspended for saying " cusa words " to a prisoner. Mrs Severn, widow of the late H. A. Severn, well-known in Auckland and thpm, Thames, was recently married in Englanifflßj to the Hon.
