Mr PL, M. Smith, the member for Taranaki, intends to re-visit the Old Country in about eighteen months. Messrs P. Honnossy & Co. are making every effort to keep their customers supplied with coal, and owing to the non-arrival of the usual coal boats from across the water are making other arrangements for a supply. Any of our local fl.ixmillers requiring a good portable engine for their mill should not lose the chance offered by Messrs Barraud and Abraham, whoin onr advertising columns draw special attention to a new Ransome, Sims and Jefferies’ engine arriving in about a week’s time. Advices from Honolulu state that not only has the volcano at Kilauea brokenmto eruption, but the summit crater of Mauna }-oa (Mokuaweoweo), is also active. Within two days the lava had risen 6ooft in Haemaumau, which is the active pit at the bottom of Kilauea. The sides of this crater were crumbling into the pit, filling it up. In places boiling lava had burst through the floor of the crater. Mrs Christie, of Karori, celebrated her 100th birthday on Tuesday, and received the congratulations of many friends. Mrs Christie was born near Aberdeen on the 2nd July, 1802, and arrived with Mr Christie in Wellington in 1851. Before Makara was cleared of forest it is related that Mrs Christie was lost for two days in the bush. The old lady is still wonderfully hale for her years. She is in possession of all her faculties, and is able to read and converse with her friends without difficulty. It was Lord Kelvin, with his many electrical inventions, who make submarine * telegraphy practicable. As Prof. Thompson, he was one day discovered by a friend experimenting with a long coil of wire. He was making deep-sea soundings. His friend became immediately interested in watching the great scientist at work and asked: 11 What is that for ? ” “ Ob,” answered Lord Kelvin, “ this is for making soundings.” “ Ah,” said the other, with the evident intention of cracking a joke at the scientist’s expense, “ what sort of a note does it give off? ” “ The deep C, of course,” answered Lord Kelvin.

The late Mr Rhodes held a strong conviction that Cape Colony has a great future before it as a wine and fruit-growing country. Some five or six years ago he bought 29 fruit farms, on which he planted a quarter of a million fruit trees and half a million vines. Shortly before his death he transferred this property to a private company to be known as the Rhodes Fruit Farms Limited. This company now proposes to establish an export trade in fruit and wine to Europe and America, and also to develop an industry in canned fruits. Last year there were several trial shipment of South African fruit to London, and out of a total of 480 tons, 66 tons came from Mr Rhodes’/ fruit tarms.

The London Standard says that it j is reported in well-uiforaled cjnarters 1 that Lord Brassey has accepted the Governor-Generalship of the Australia’) Commonwealth. The Magistrate committed Mrs Drake for trial to the next sittings of the Supreme Court at Wellington on the qth of Augusts bail beirlg Accepted —the accused ami her juisbaud in £4OO and two sureties of £z'<o each.

With a view to greater convenience the Colonial Sugar Company has decided to pack its sugar in one standard size, viz., 56U) bags, instead of three as formerly. The price has been reduced, Nos. 1 and ia by £t per ton and Nos, 2 and 3 by 15s per ton. * The rector of Nuthurst, Sussex, discussing in his parish magazine the question, “ Why men do not come to church on Sunday morning,” says : “ As a simple matter of fact, we know some men who would attend church on Sunday morning if their wives did not keep them at home peeling pota toes for the Sunday dinner. This management, of course, only prevails in families where the lady is boss. In other cases, the men do attend church. When we miss onr dear oi l friend Michael Hutchinson of a Sunday morning, we know that he is in the back kitchen 'with his sleeves rolled up hard at it. When Mrs Hutchinson' is ‘ out,’ and Eliza has charge of the culinary arrangements, Michael always attends church. It is remarkable how prosaic most pro-, •blerns become when they are thoroughly sifted.”

A unique experience bafel several Hastings people whilst th°y were driving to the Napier Park races, reports the H. B. Herald’s correspondent. The read between Tomoana and the Pakowhai bridge has been covered with about four feet of silt since the flood. This deposit, to some of those, driving, proved a veritable bog. One party, in a buggy and pair, drove into the silt, until brought to a standstill, and it was neaily 4 o’clock in the afternoon before they were able to drag the buggy back again on to the metalled road, which was dime with the assistance of a pair of draught horses attached to ropes. The buggy horses also had to lie dragged out of the silt, which appears to bo of a very sticky nature. O.her •traps were also bogged, and it was not until after several hours’ work lint they were released, when the people returned home instead of going to the races. An impromptu roadway has been formed by going through paddocks from Tomoana to the Pakowai bridge, but most of the vehicles b om Hastings yesterday went by the Shamrock Hotel or Fern Hill, -

The Auckland Herald has the following :—The ruling prices of grain at the present time show a smart advance on those of last year, and those grain merchants who entered into contracts with the farmers last year for the supply of oats to be delivered now, are benefiting to a large extent. A grain merchant stated in evidence at the Magistrates’s Court that he had already purchased oats only just planted, which were to be delivered to him next year at a fixed price and in good condition. Counsel said farmers in the Pukehohe district, who contracted last year to supply oats at the present period at from £3 to £3 10s a ton, were very sore in the matter, as the retailers were receiving from £5 to £6 a ton for the produce supplied, and the farmers were bound to fulfil their contract. The witness said it was so.
