The barque Elizabeth, with the second consignment of Kaihu Valley Railway plant, is about 100 days out. The population of Vienna, including the suburbs, is now 1,263,000. The annual sessions of the Presbyterian- Synod of Otago and Southland were opened last night. ; When the thermometer stands at HOdeg in the shade, the orb of day may very well bo called the prodigal sun. j Here are New. Zealand politics, all I summed up in a quatrain :— Auckland wants a Custom-house; Port Chalmers wants a dock; Christchurch wants more poor relief, And Wellington a clock! '■■■■-;. Hugh Anderson; a labourer at Outran., i Otago, tried to commit suicide yesterday •) by cutting his throat. It has been arranged to have a Lawn j Tennis Tournament at Christchurch on the three days immediately preceding Christ mas. "

Hokitika Borough Councillors have found that if the Charitable Aid Act is not altered it will be necessary to have a rate for charitable aid amounting to Is 3d in the £:

Miss Jennie Gray, an energetic young woman who works a 100-acre farm in Dakota, say she could work another just as . large if the fellows who want to marry her would stop bothering her.

''• The Beffin "*"'. Tagblatt" predicts an early state of anarchy in France and the estab lishment of a reign of ■■; tefrory when it is certain, says the papier, the - gap in the will play the Me ; of safety-yalve; for which emergency Germany must he] ready.

, The writer, of an article in one of the lead-i ing South Russian, papers, who is known to/ be a distinguished naval authority, in describing the late naval, review at Spit head, says that, speaking allegoricallyEhg- v land has bared her strong right arm to the maritime world for the purpose of con vincing Europe that her tremendous strik ing power is not impaired by one single relaxed muscle or fibre. The writer goes on to say that the seamen of no other nation are trained, or are capable of being trained, to such a magnificent standard of* perfection. Coming from' a hostile camp, such an opinion is satisfactory.
