' Sbnie years' ago, on a revival of " Faust," I at the Lyceum Theatre, London, the Abbe ' Liszt was present, and Mr Jrviug invited ' him to supper in his Beefsteak room, and I in order to make him thoroughly happy and at. home Uie thoughtful host had found out tdn 'Vbue's favourite dishes and had them prepared by.Gunter'a chef— they were lentil pudding, lamb -outlets, and mushrooms in batter. A deputation comprising Mr J. Stevens, M.H.E., and Messrs Beid, Aldridge, Moore, Paulin, aud . McGregor interviewed the Minister .pi' Lands, says the Times, aud allied that the new bridge in the Rafcgitikei he placed at Otar'a -instead of Three-log Whare, about ten miles away. The Minister promised to consult his colleagues on the" subject. A wedding gift has just been sent to the Duchess of York from Bombay, consisting of two diamond bangles, composed of 40 hrilliants^ .and .two. diamond ear buttons,.. enclosed in a box of .carved Surat sandalwood.. 'to the fund were strictly'limited to the small sum of ten nip.nefiin each case/land; every class of Her Majesty's subjects joined in. the subscription. • ... .-• . . Qomplainis are being made- atA!waliuti against the Manawatu Road Board, says the Advocntc, owing to the bridge being left all this lime in its floodwrecked condition/ and no move made torepair it or to construct a ford. The inconvenience to the public which the Board may now be said to be partly the cause on this important road is very great. At the Dunedin City Council the Mayor, brought up a report on the finances a3 affected by the result of the recent licensing meeting. The loss of fees from publicans' and bottle licenses will be £1265. To this has to be added the- decrease in the gas supply to hotels, and the probable decrease of water rates, making a total of £IG9O.. f To this has to be added the expected deficiency in the surplus from the gas department, .owing" tb money expended in procuring stoves, &c, which will bring up the deficit for the year to £6202. To meet this a sixpenny rate seems inevitable. A somewhat amusing incident is reported byJtlifrWairoa Guardian from the Nu'haka hot springs, which are at present crowded with natives. A patr.iar.chal member of one of the tribes was enjoying his bath in real hog fashion, aud, to improve the shining moment, preppred to have a pull at his pipe. No sonner had he struck a light, bowerer, than the whole atmosphere in his immediate vicinity became a sheet of flame, caused by the ignition of the sulphatoiu fumes arising from the spring | Hjs -ctliefsbip beat a hasty n treat, under j the firm impression that the locality was i the resort of taipo or some such native abhorrence. j A total of 77 men were accommodated ! ' at We lington at the Wharf Shelter and ' City Restaurant on Wednesday night. '

. Last night the 'employees at the Bannockinun hemp mill gave a dance at the Carnarvon railway shed which turned out a most, pleasant gathering. A 'jjj^o Was leni oy Mr Yanko, and Mr Timmins ably presided at it. Nearly forty couples were present and dancing was kept up till six o'clock this morning. A substantial supper was sei'ved iv a teut adjoining the building. The Stipendiary Magistrate attended at foxtail on Thursday afternoon and the following business was transacted :— J. J.

We are glad to announce that Mrs Robinson, of Herrington* has taken a change for the better; and Dl 1 Dermer bntevthins favourable hopes of her early recovery. It seems, says the Westminster Gazette, we are losing our prestige on the Continent, and that other nations are ousting us and occupying the ground we had almost a monopoly. Here is the latest news from Paris. During the annual foirt mi para iVepke the light-fingered folk were, as usual, very active, and a good deal of property changed pockets. The Parisians are accustomed to the incident ; it is renewed year lifter year But on . this occasion the police determined to show activity — the pick-pockets were shadowed ; the scents were exciting and the captures numerous. The prisoners— to the number of sixty-five — were sorted according to their nationality. The results nre most disheartening, and show how in all industries we are j coming to the wall. Of the P>s pick-pockets 25 were Italians, 18 were Germans, 9 were Swiss, 10 were French, and 8 were Swedes. In this cosmopolitan collection of small pilferers there was not one Englishman. The PoM gives credence to a statement that special precautions are now adopted j for watching the exteriors of \ho «'iov<.rn- | nient Buildings, Government Hotiso, nnd j Parliamentary Buildings at nvjh\. 'J ho j icason for thi.-;, it is stated, is fii" r ciipl of information by tbe Govi-intiurii i?om a reliable source oi' an inetijiliarv conspiracy to set the. Government Buildirp*. on :i ■■•..•, and it is believed the design inua.i!' •! ;hs simultaneous firing of Government House and the Parliament Buildings. Two sentry boxes are being built at the back of the Departmental Buildings, and a number of men ar-*. engaged -ciltting away the dense •undergrowth in the shubbery in 3uch a way that sentries can see under the trees, and in order to prevent, these being used as rover for incendiarist?.A remarkable flower has recently been exhibited at Auckland. Jt is a Black Arum Lily, its shape is much like that of the White Arum Lily, but it is much larger. The colour of the outer part is a dark /rim.=oti blnnk, with beautiful satiny shorn on the suvfaco. The upright spike in tho middle which is yellow in the common r.rum lily, is much larger and almost puro black. The odour of the flower is remarkable, rather like that of over ripe fruit, but not unpleasant. The flower comes from the Holy Laud, and was grown in Professor Thomas' garden at Mount Eden. Keri Kaihau, for the survey obstruction at Opup.tia, has been sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. The other eight natives charged with the same offence were released on six months' probation. Mr L. M. Grace, an ex member, has been appointed an Interpreter to the House says the Post, at a salary of £250 per an- ' uura ; and Captain Gilbert Mair, who has proved such an efficient interpreter in the past, has been infonmd that his services will not be required.

Whilst the great depression existing at' Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people of Wellington and the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantio benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. With a visw of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Go's, wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the well-known Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Both these gentlemen have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to be seen in the astonishing bargains now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. WUh all these advantages in purchasing, it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the oheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
