TALK.
The Parliament of New Zealand is still talking. A Wellington scribe, with a penchant for arithmetical problems, has discovered that, since the session opened, members of Parliament have talked over 30,000 words apiece, and that, in superficial measurement, the loquacity spreads to about a quarter of an acre. It is rather a pity that it could not be estimated in avoirdupois. Probably, however, the scribe lis of opinion that the talk of the past few weeks carries no weight. In this case, talk is not cheap. It costs the country a nice penny. What is wanted, to vary the monotony, are some of those actions which are said to speak louder than words.
