Mr Pirani wants the Vaile system tried on some section of the railways at an early date. Because two ex-members of the House owe a score at Bellamy's, Mr George Russell wants to know who they are. Perhaps with a view to settle their account. King David said, in his wrath " all men are liars," but Sir Robert Stout on Friday night did not go quite so far as this, having only declared that a statement of Mr Ward's was " utterly untrue " yet he was called to " order," and got out of the diffioulty by qualifying the statement to the effect " that it was contrary to fact." It is wonderful how easily legislators are appeased. The mid-winter number of the Christchurch Press is a wonderfully good sixpence worth, as there are 20 fine views taken by photograph specially for the Press, of some of the grand scenery in the West Coast Sounds, with an interesting account of the trip. " The Wonderful Cure " is now on sale at Mr Hamer's the chemist. It is reputed to be a wonderful remedy for whooping cough and all kinds of coughs and colds Messrs Linton, Mowlem and Mowlem, of Palmerston North, are the sole agents for the colony. Mr Linton has informed us that the remedy has been tried in PahnerBton, and effected marvellous curei, and he Is la eouMtlen of whole nhnyn of mtt< tt9UMIi

Mr Eobert Cobb secured £10 6s per head for six Komney Marsh rams at the Sydney Sheep sale. If is wonderful the fascination matchheads have for some people. A man at Auckland has been 'Committed for trial frii! attempting stlicide by taking match-heads as a delicacy. Mr Larnach wants the Government to allow the Land Boards to elect their own chairman. The Mlnistei. 1 of Lands is io be questioned ns to his knowledge of beetles and bugs by Mr Thompson. Does he know of a new species of beetle discovered in AUB« tralia which destroys the mealy bug ? Poor Minister* If he does, will he introduce it despite of the Undesirable Immigrants Bill ? The expenses incurred by the Gtavel'nttienUn connection with the wreck of the S.s. Wairarapa amounted to £276 17s 4d, made up as follows :— Charter of steamer, £114 ; expenses incurred by the police, £99 Is 4d ; payments to Maoris and others, £63 10s, Mr J. d. Wilson Wants the Government to Open a post-office at Silvevstreani, and to giant telßtihdnie CdmtnuriiCatioii at the Tftita and Upper Hutt. At Henley regatta, Trinity College, of Cambridge University) won the Grand Challenge Shield, defeating New (JOltege, of Oxford i by three parts of a length. Time, 7min. 30 sec. Sir Henry Parkes is a warm-tempered old man. He has consented to oppose the Premier of New South WaleS) Mr Beid> as a candidate for the King Division df &vdney at the" elections, ifl infdi'niiilg liis committee Bf bis decision, he made a bitter p&rsonal attack on Mr Heidi calling him brainless-, and sayiiig that his pdlißy' was (Sa'CUlated to Starry defiolation into all bi'dnehes of the public service. Such a policy as he proposed would degrade the institution, paralyse industries, and make the country unfit for any man of character to live in. It was even Worse than the French Revolution. He Would enter the contest an uncompromising enemy of Mr Reid and all his belongings, and if ha died in the struggle his heart Would be torn with a'l kinds of pain. On Saturday afternoon the waste tow lying about Walden's mill at Moutoa caught fire, and did some damage before it was got under, but less than might have been expected. The lessees of the mill, Messrs Duff and Co. worked hard, and saved all the belting and the shed which covered the stripper and part of the engine; Three tons of dressed ilbre, however Was burnt which is to be regretted, bttt a me at & mill which Causes only some £20 loss is better than it might have been. The English mail via Brindisi closes at Foxton to-morrow at 3 p.m. The report says there was not one redeeming feature in Saturday's Sydney sheep sales, well-bred sheep going for a song in the major ty of Cases, purchased for boiling-down purpases The sa'e of longwool sheep which concluded to-day marks a pitiable episode in the history of colonial sheep-breeding, it is not easy to 1 gauge the cause ( but undoubtedly the chief reason is that, owing to the dry season, owners find it difficult to pasture their present flocks, without adding to them. With few, if any, exceptions, breeders suffered severely, and this year's experience will probably kill the Sydney market for a long time to come, The West Coast Mall published at Otaki has again changed hands. Yesterday the Mayor and Ci Jenks had an Arbor Day to themselvesj planting dboUt 100 shrubs in thti Cemetery. This will be a great improvement, though our cemetery is now one of the prettiest on the coast. We learn that Mr England is the new manager for the local branch of the Bank of New Zealand, and he will take up his duties within a fortnight. Constable Gillespie found on the beach about four miles north of the Manawatu bar a long piece of bar iron fixed in several stanchions, proclaiming it to be part of the bulwark of a small vessel. Attached to the rail was a broad new kauri board 14 x J inches fastened by copper wire. Probably this might be part of the ill-fated " Olga." Along the beach there were several pieces of sacking and flannel. Certainly the most effective medicine in the world is Sanders and Son's Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminently powerful effect in Coughs, Colds, Influenza ; the relief instantaneous.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — [advt.] Particular attention has been paid this year to the requirements of country custo mers, and the result is to be seen in the immense and varied stock of calicoes, shirtings, flannels, flannellettes, strong wearing dress materials, men's and boys' clothing, &c. The choice in each department is almost unlimited, as may be imagined, when it is stated that of flannelette alone, over 50,000 yards have this season been imported at Te Aro House, Wellington. A specially organised department has been established to deal with country orders. Patterns of any materials m stock will be forwarded to any address post fiee. Country residents are invited to write for prices, or any information regarding goods wanted. It is confidently asserted that nowhere can such a wide selection, or such sterling value be obtained, as at Te Aro House, Wellington. — Advt. One of the sights of Wellington, at any time is undoubtedly the magnificent establishment known as Te Aro House, and now that every department within its walla is filled to overflowing, with a bewildering variety of the season's novelties in millinery, mantles, dresses, etc., it is more than ever a pleasure and profit to visit the wholesale family drapery warehouse, Te Aro House. ____________
