Parliament.

Rumours are rife, as to what will be done at the opening of Parliament on Friday. At present everything points to the opposition having a show. The Premier's health will not allow him to retain office, and therefore he will probably accept some honorable position and Mr Ballance will be called to form a government. Parliament will not be sitting long, for some time will have to be given Mr Ballance to frame a policy. If these steps are taken much interest will arise as to the colleagues Mr Ballance will gather round him. Unfortuately, other reasons than personal fitness alive to be considered, but Messrs Rees or Hutehinson will be Attorney General, Reeves, Colonial Secretary, and John McKenzie Minister of Lands. We should not be surprised if, alter all, the unexpected does not happen, but still the above is most probable.

Services will be held at All. Saints Church on Sunday as usual. Morning at 11 a.m. Evening at 7 p.m. Baptismal service with address to children at 3 p.m: Confirmation classes will be held dn Saturday at 7. 30 pan foi 1 boys, and on Sunday at 4 p.m for girls. Mr F. S. Easton has a pony suitable foy a buggy for sale. In our advertising eolams will be found the particulars of a very valuable farm, in the well known Douglas block, Carnarvon, whidi is for stile; , By gum ! everything is giinii girls chew It, men wear it, tobacconists call it amber. 8. Startup of the " New Tinies " bootshop sells it, in the shape of drainers long gum boots; He says " call and see tHem," we §ay "buy theni:" We have not heard the last of the Vaile system as the Railway League intend to consider the advisableness of sending Mr Vaile to Wellington to advance the interests of his railway scheme during the session . .Tile iYfikii'i Presi says :— The days of big fees are not altogether past in New Zealand. We can remember the time in Dunedin when it was not an uncommon thing for leade s at the Bar to net from £300 to £500 on the occasion of famous trials; .But this sdiilewhat pridceiy remuneration is a filing of the jiastt £till wti iio\v atitt again hear of a decent fee. Sir llobert Stout no doubt commands the biggest price* at least in regard to criminal cases. From a Northern paper we learn that he got one hundred and fifty guineas for defending the Clfinameh who were in Wellington charged with murder. The fee was, in the first place, paid by Sew Hoy, of Dunedin, but he was probably only agent for his Wellington countrymen. As the case was A bail one, and the Chinese got off, no doubt they consider that Sir Robert Stout earned his fee. It will however, take a good deal of garden stuff to make up the hundred and fifty guineas, and John will probably be more disposedpn future to count the cost of his acts than he was prone to do in the Hutt district till reCenfy. The Cash C'earing Sale of Jobberns & Co. Bankrupt Stock by Ross & Saxdford, in Main Street, Foxton is still proceeding with unabated interest.
