Tenders are invited for charing sixty acres of manuka sorub. A plain and fancy dress ball is to be told ia th» lublio Hall on Friday waning,

The altered advertisements of Te Aro House will appear in our next issue, being received too Shite for today. The purport ■ of them is ithat there will be only one more week's sale, as the branch will be closed on Saturday next. The New Australia to be founded in Paraguay is to be a socialistic settlement* Mr Lane claims that 1500 settlers have ] already been enlisted. ;ihe minknuni.capHal each must subscribe is £00. The members represent all professions except "lawyers, auctioneers and commission agents," who are regarded as dangerous classes. This may help to explain why the editor of the Pftlmerston Stamtunl thinks he has an objection to the editor, of this paper. Of course he is vaoujr, ' <m fc t h«{ is only natural, tor our editor ir v oo t nn anc ti O neer or commission agent, though Mr Pirani says he is. There does not appear to be very much interest shown in the nomination of a t'Oiincillor for the Awahou Riding. Mr Ajlnn Strang's the only one we have i heard mentioned as being likely to be- ! « ome- a candidate. The nomination is fixed for Wednesday at Mr Rowland's residence, Motuiti. Forms can be obtained j at this office. Mr Battersbey, the artesian well-sinker, arrived by the Queen of the South on Thursday afternoon and he expects to make a start «,t the town well on Monday. May good success attend his efforts is the true wish of every burgess. The Pout says :— Ministers are going to advance £1000 to the Wanganui .Education Board for school buildings some time before the Board will be entitled to it. We are very glad to hear it, and we hope the Board will now see its way to erect the long promised school at Taikorea. The English Government" 1 are enforcing the Closure on the Home Rule Bill. It may be interesting to note that the Review of Jteokwx of May points out that the proposal even to act so made every one '• to thank God that we have the House of Lords," and it pertinently shows that though Home Rule has been debated for the last seven years a<l nauseam, the Bill giving effect to Home Rule has never been discussed until the other day. Mr Gladstone, on principle, kept it up his sleeve until the last moment. Put this way ittloei look as Mr Henniker Heaton describes it in the Contemporary Jteview, The cable system of the ,worid is in English hands. The cable rates are kept so high that 99 out of 100 messages are commercial ones. The Australian ; merchants pay 4s 9d per word, and all the Australian Governments, with the exception of Queensland, subsidise the cables at the rate of £70,000 a year, and the British Government, which has its State messages carried at a special rate of 2s 7d per word, refuses to contribute a penny towards the cost ! The British Government, Mr Heaton contends, is mean ; the cable companies are greedy ; and the Australasian colonies are unduly burthened. Mr Halliday defended the man Mcßae charged at Palmerston with obtaining £3 from Mr Lissaman. The R.M. said that as the Probation oftioer's report was so far favourable that it proved that he had not been acoussed previously, he would be released on probation for four months on condition that he repaid the £3 and costs of prosecution £6 19s 9d.. Mr Halliday gave his guarantee that the charges would be paid, and the accused was released only to be immediately arrested on a charge of obtaining £6 from Mr Shakelford, of Wellington, by means of a valueless •heque. In thjj case of Ward v. Ward, heard at the Divorce Court oh Wednesday, being a wife's petition, the respondent being William Neville Ward of Wellingfon but lately of Otaki, a decree nisi was granted. By a fire at St Mary Axe, London, eighty 1 small warehouses were burned to the ground. Two hundred firemen and forty engines were engaged in preventing the spread of the flames. A strong wind was blowing, which baffled the efforts of the firemen for four hours. The estimated loss is £2,000,000. Much too impudent. A thief 'entered Mr Justice Conolly's suburban residence, at Remuera, Auckland, on Wednesday afternoon. A small sum of money and some jewellery were taken from Miss Conolly's bedroom, and some plate from the diningroom. The thief must have been disturbed, as the plate was found in a sack behind a fence in the garden. During manoeuvres off the coast of Ireland, H.M.S. Appollo was nearly lost in a fog at Crookhaven. She was within 50 yards of the coast when"' the slioiits of a fisherman warned those on boai.d, of their dangerous position. Miss Shaw, travelling correspondent of the London Times, in reviewing the four great strikes in Australia, emphasises the growing limitation of powers of unionism, and states that a prominent labour leader, speaking of the maritime strike, assured her that the day of strike? was over, and predicted a general decline in the influence of the unions. .- . The D.O.P. Sale at Loveday Bros is a great success. Why? Because they can undersell all others. .Compare their prices. 1 Note the pilesof bargains that are exhibited outside. All .other sales fail under the great D.O.P. ale. Never before were such, bargains to be had. Bush to the sate and be among the first to have the pick of the Bargains. Still they come in large numbers and greater crowds to the wonderful sale of Winter Drapery and Clothing at the Te Aro House Branch in Main-street. - ; .. The flag directs the crowds and onwards they stream. There is no mistaking the place. Crowds J invariably rnsh where bargains are to be had and they are to be found in abundance here.

As showing the wonderful development and steady progress of Colonial Manufactures during the past year or t <o, it is worthy of note that Messrs Ross & Sandford, of the Bon Marche, Palmerston North, are now retai ing to the public Men's All-wool Colonial Tweed Suits at the wonderful low price of One Pound, quite as good as what could be bought a short time back for double this money- This firm are j now holding a gigantio Clearing Sale of the | whole of their extensive and valuable stock and it will be to the interest of buyers of Clothing and General Drapery to pay them »n early visit.— A»vx,
