l*he Otago 'times says :— Does anyone know what those confounded Maoris have cost us from beginning to end ? We have some reliable data down to 1877 from Parliamentary returns and the figures are appalling. They are as follows :— Taking first the period from 1856-7 to 1873-4, we find the expenditure for defence purposes was no less than £3,331,065 out of loan, and £991,416, out of revenue. Eor the three years subsequently to 1876-7 the defence expenditure was £333;434, out of revenue, and £227,306 out of loan.

Mr Blains, the American Secretary of State, has announced that the U. S. Government prohibits Chili from taking advantage of her victories and absorbing Peru. , Claims amounting to over £45,000 by fifteen sufferers :in the Jolimont railway accident will be referred to juries. This does not include the widows of the four killed. Visiors to the Court Theatre, London, on its re-opening recently, found the young women attendants throughout the house clothed in a uniform which had at least the merit of origiuality. It consisted of a navyblue swallow-tail dress coat with gilt crested buttbns, a yellow and-blaek striped undress livery waistcoat, and a gentleman's white shirt front, " stand up " collar, and black silk eveniug tie. A neat skirt appeared below aa a corrective of 'the generally mascqline character of. the attire, "" T
