A London correspondent writes :— Sir , Maurice O'Rorke i 3 atiU in Dublin, but is expected In London in the course of a few days. He has been conspicuous in several newspapers a« the Speaker of Tasmania, in another case as Prime Minister of Tasmania, and there is a rumour which 1 have been unable to verify that in one case he appeared very prominently as " Sir Maurice O'Rorke, Governor of the colony of New Ireland." tf he receives a few more decorative appendages of this kind he will be a person of considerable importance by the time the British Parliament meets. The watch lost by dne of the Feildin<? players tteav the polo ground and advertised for through bur columns has been found. There was just a suspicion that the watflh had not been lost but hftd "gone before" anyone but the abstractor had noticed it. It was not upon the polo ground at all> The owner indulged in a little preliminary practise on the rough paddock adjoining the plantation ftnd whilst walking around there yesterday Mr A. E. T.

The ooe.v sion was seized by a number of the eld >r Church members to show him' their appreciation and goodwill. A surprise party visited his residence the same eveninor, and through Mr E. Westwood presented him with a handsome copy of "Church Hymns." The old gentleman was highly pleased, and entertained hi? visitors for an hour with refreshments and reminiscences of his early days. May he live long and die happy. Inserted was the following :—Presented to E. P.

The conduct of the constable who gave evidenoe in the case brought against the proprietor of the Post Office Hotel, Ashurst, in February last, was the subject of an interview between the Minister of Justice and the Wellington Prohibition League. The Minister stated it would probably be gratifying to the deputation to know that before they asked for an interview Constable Pennefather had retired from the police force. Wednesday's Post Says Mr F. H. Fraser attended this morning's meeting of the Board of Education for the last time. Complimentary references were made to the manner in which he had performed his duties as a member during the past nine years, and on the motion of Dr. Newman, M.H.R., seconded by Mr W. C. Buchanan, M.H.R., it was decided to place on record the Board's appreciation of his past services. Tenders must be in to-night for privileges advertised by the Shannon Racing Club. It has been calculated that the fishing lines used in Scotland in 1893 would, if tied together, nearly encircle the world twice. About 47,000,000 hooks have to be baited, each with two mussels, every time all the lines are set. We regret to learn of the death of Mrs Ewen, wife of Mr H. A. Ewen, of the Bank of New Zealand, Wellington, and third daughter of the late Mr John McKelvie, of Rangitikei, says the N.Z. Times. Mrs Ewen died at Mentone, in the south of France, after a long and painful illness, and the sad news was received yesterday by cable message. Lord Brassey, who owns an estate between Perth and Albany, has decided to start an experimental farm in order to encourage and develop the rural industries in Western Australia.

In an enquiry being held in Melbourne a witness stated the Wendouree had been unseaworthy for eighteen months.

This drawback need exist no longer, for extra oharges are done away with under the new parcel syßtem which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington. Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be sent to any address in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly, the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellington. As may be imagiued, however, this liberal offer is only extended to cash customers, and all orders for advertised parcels must be accompanied by cash for the amount, before the order can be executed at Te Aro. House, Wellington. In illustration of the system we will give an example. Take for instance No. 7 parcel, which contains 7 yards of double width stylish fancy check tweed ; 2 dozen buttons and silk and twist to match ; 2 yards of body lining and 4 yards of skirt lining.
