Should a member of the New Zealand Contingent, taking his discharge in South Africa, be anxious to visit Great Britain, a free passage to England will be given him on the understanding that no passage will be provide to New Zealand from England in addition. This is an official announcement made by the Secretary of State of War. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr H. O. Arnold Forster, stated in connection with the shipping combine, that an Admiralty Committee was inquiring into the question of Government subsidies to various steamship lines.

In the Dominion House of Commons, Mr Charlton, member for Norfolk, Ontario, moved a resolution recommending magnanimity, mercy, and universal amnesty in connection with the war. He hoped such a course would assist Britain to withstand the vengeful demands of the Cape loyalists. M. Bourassa, member for Lobelia, Quebec, seconded the motion. Sir Wilfrid Lander declared that the resolution was most inopportune, and was calculated to awaken in the Boers false hopes and to prolong the war. He was satisfied to leave the terms of settlement in the hands of the brave soldiers who were negotiating -on noth sides. At Sir Wilfrid Lauder's instance Mr Chariton withdrew his motion.

The pretty little “silver eye” or blight bird is supposed to have come from Australia, and has a bad characted for feeding on plums, cherries, figs and gooseberries. In the winter, fruit h.ring scarce, it feeds on the vr oily blight, and therefore repays p ,ts of the cost of its keep.

The “ Clutha Leader ” makes the statement, on “ high political authority,” that it is the intention ot the temperance party to nominate their official secretary for all constituencies where there would otherwise be a walk-over at the general election. Talking to Mr Valdare, the proprietor of Valdares troupe, the other day he remarked that the abomination of large hats at theatres is dealt with very summarily by the managers of some of the large theatres in the United States There, ladies determined to visit the. theatre in head gears are sold only tickets for one side of the house, to which their male escorts can also go —to their sorrow; whilst the other side is retained for the ladies who consider others, and for men. Another improvement in theatre management is reported from America. No interruption by late comers is permitted during the scenes, the outer doors being locked at the commencement of a scene and only opened at its conclusion. The efforts of the artists are preserved as well as the temper of the audience. Milking has taken a firm hold in the Carnarvon district and on nearly every holding cows are milked-. It is babecoming very customary to have the milking done on terms—the landlord finding cows and pasture and residence and the milkers the labour and horse, and cart—the divison being equal or as to calves and being given up tbe shares are thirds, the landlord getting two shares. The milkers find it very paying. Mr Robson, who gave the excellent kinematograph show last night is, when off the road, an interested fruit grower. A few years ago, when on a visit here he came across an apple; resembling a Gravenstein, grown by MrThynne in his Kawaroa orchard and was very must struck with it, and has it growing now down South, but though possessing the fine juicy flavour for which this apple is noted, he complains that he cannot secure its handsome colour. This bears out tbe statement of Mr Fitch, the Government pomologist, which we mentioned when he visited the district a few month’s ago, that down South they could not obtain the bloom and colour on apples that he noticed in this island.

The Hon. A. R. Outtrim, Chairman of the Victorian Factories Commission in the course of an interview, said the Commission had had an absolutely unique experience is going through New Zealand—a colony where there are no unemployed. The population generally seems to be in a prosperous condition. The Commission had examined a large number of employers and employees, who were unanimously of opinion that the principle of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act was a sound one. They would be very sorry indeed to go back to the old order of things. Mr Outtrim spoke highly of the Conciliation Boards and the Arbitration Court.

The ownership of the Post Office hotel, once the site of the oldest store in the district, has so far changed hands that now one of the youngest of the late Alexander Gray’s sons becomes the owner, having purchased the interest of his brother, George, in it. Mr William Gray has been working in (he business with hia brother, and is thus thoroughly acquainted with his duties and the responsibilities attaching to the position. lie is much liked and is bound to do well. The departure of Mr George Gray, who is leaving for Bulls will be much regretted as both he and Mrs Gray have a host of friends. We trust that his family will not be allowed to leaVe without some mark of the kindly feeling which is felt towards them. Wa understand that Mr Gray has secured an hotel at Bulls-

A London correspondent writes on March 14th “ To-day’s London papers have no fewer than three cable messages from New Zealand, one occupying nearly half a column. This is indeed a change from three years ago, when two or three lines once a month or two, supplied all the news of New Zealand that Loudon papers cared to print! One of to-day’s cable messages dwells on Mr Seddon’s ‘ sendoff’from Dunedin. Another records his view that New Zealand should send a Tenth Contingent.
