A native named'Te Koto is in custody on the charge of stealing cattle in the King Country. .

It is isuggested that the Government of New Zealand should specially invite Eor'd Brassey to visit the colony. ' ', A Spanish proverb says-"The cloak is his whom it covers," but some folks would dissent from tliab Uictiim , .' • ' -

Ab Masterton, last Sunday; a lodger at a boardipg-house appeared at the breakfast table in a brand new suit which a fellow lodger had purchased the evening before. The owner and occupier had what is termed a civil barney of more than an hour's dura tion, to the great fun of a large congrega tion, before the.appropriator could beln duced to disrobe.

doming events cast their shadows before I A South Australian legislator is moving for the amendment of the Constitution, so as to give the colony the privilege of electing its own Governor.

The "coming event" which that fore shadows is of course the Australian Eer public !

Mrs Rof&etti Elmer, an old resident of Port Chalmers, has died suddenly qi apoplexy. ■ ■ f Burglaries are still of daily occurrence ih Wellington, and the police seem to. be powerless. Mr Willcox's residence, Hill street, was broken into early last evening. The thief was surprised and made off, bub not before securing a &-old watch and chain.

The courteous Surveyor (ieneral is having a big map specially prepared to pacify' tlie irato W.P.B. ''''~' The Oamara "Mail " reminds the electors that, wheh the TTall-Atkinson Government cut down the salaries of'the whole of t-lfe Civil' Service by 10 per cenlv- Ciovernor Gordon voluntarily offered to submit to tljo same reduction of his salary. Of course the offer was not accepted, as the retrench ment cry was not "a perfect, roar." ' ' .'

Three boy burglars at Christchurch have seven charges of housebreaking preferred against them and one of arson.

The Onehiinga Borough Council meet to night to consider how that loan of £5,000 for waterworks shall be raised.

A peculiar species of sword-fish,measuring 13fb long, has been captured at Hokitika. *

Three children have been injured afc Greymouth by being struck by fragments of logs that were being dynamited. ' * A number of young trout have been placed in Lake Takapuna. There should soon be good sport there for tired politicians •
