Hodgins, junr., (or m extension of time in which ,to effect mpruvemente upon a section of land at Mangaone, which he had taken up some time ago. Mr Hodgitißawured the Board that hie son was aminor jrhen he took tip the land and believed all along that, nocording to hie age, the requirements of the Aot had been oomplied. with. Mr Piraui said it appeared to him a clear case of family dummyism, and it was not right that the father should come before the Board and ask for leniency when the improvements had not been effected. Mr Hogg differed from Mr Piraui, and considered ' that'Mr Hodgins 1 baso was one for consideration. ■ Evidently, both the father and son had misapprehended the conditions of the Act.

Professor Blackie, wiiohaß just entered J on hia eighty.fifth year, is docidtd'.y eccentric in many respects, in proof of which the Pall Mall Gazette tells the following Btoiy"On ono occasion," about twelvejeare Bgo or so, after he had visited Egypt, he gave a lecture ou the subject before the Edinburgh Philosophical Society. Coming down from the platform into the body of the hall, in order that ho might use his pointer on the diagrams more freely, he proceeded with his remarks, Hoars of laughter wero. hoard from all parts of the building. The Professor noticed them, bilt he did nut know what was the matter, and probably dots not know to this day It sot-ma that while he was speaking ho had put out his disengaged hand for something to rest it on, and hadseoured tho top of the head of a bald-headed gentleman in the front row. As lie warmed to his subject, the Professor | gently stroked the head, and presently began to pat it. After this the recipient of his attentions hurriedly moved to another scat, and tho lecture went on without further interruption. ( Coal of a veiy fair qiiality is reported ( to have been discovered at the Huia, on the Manukau.

What a wonderful spectacle, it rites the Spectator, is that Europe now pro eents ? Ber population claims a sort o monopoly in civilisation, yet outsido of Knpland every nation has vaactiod the limit of its endurance in preparing for a war which nevertheless doej not arrive. The surplus energy and money of the whole Continent aro devoted to keeping tip a security which is nowhere felt to he quite sufficient, yet is nowhere overtly threatened—which, indeed, is guaranteed by profuse professions of peaceable intentions.

Tho Auckland Herald says thai Mr John Iks (of Messrs Sargood, Son and Ewen), speaking of trade in Sydney and Melbourne, stated that, although certain stocks wore being sold at discounts of sb much as 20 per oent, so far as the great lines of trade were concerned the Sydney and Victorian merchants, notwithstanding all the talk of depression, were making liiglier profits than could bo gut in New Zealand. He instances a line, with a len per cent duty.bold at 28s iu Sydney; the same article, with n 22| per cent duty, is sold in Auckland at 21s. A good deal of sorplm stock had been sent to New Zealand and undersold, but the leading lines were as high as ever. In Melbourne there had been a great contraction of the volume ot business, through the reduction of stoclcs and lessening of orders, His own opinion was that Victoria had still some bid times in front of her, through the financial effects of the re-construction schemes of her financial institutions, but her internal resources wero great, and with all her disasters and misfortunes ''Marvellous Molbourne" has yet an immense amount of wealth withm her boundaries,

Mr Digby Pigott, writing to tho Times (London), elves a charming idyll of the lake in St. James' Park, On July 8, a dabchiok's neßt, 11 made fuss to the dipping boughs of a black-popk','. 1 broke from its moorings 'and drifted into the open. " The hen-bird, who was sitting at che time of tho eccident, struck bravely to her eggs, and in a twelve-dayV voyage, during which her mate has beeii seldom out of her sight, has crossed and recrossed from the peninsula to the mains land." Her constancy was' rewarded, and on Wednesday afternoon "she floated safe in port with two newly hatched balls of down on her back,, within a yard or two nf the spot where her raft was first builf." ...

' More than sixty years atjo, when the death of tho twu daughters of William IV. had made the Princess Victoria heircss presumptive of the Throne, a ouriouasuggestion was made intlie House of Commons, Sir Robert Inglia pointed out tliaf. the name Victoria was outlandish and strange. It carried with it no historic associations, It would be better he thought, to change it j and he suggested that the young Princess should take. the name of Elizabeth, Lord i Althorp, In rebuking this fully, declared with his usual rustic frankness, that he did not think it mattered .what the future Queen of England wbb called,and ! expressed the hope that in tlmo to come 1 the name of Victoria would be as illus- | triona as that of any English sovereign. The sixty years which have passed since this curious discussion have made the hope of Lord Althorp a reality, 'l'lio outlandish name, says tho IForW, has become a household world. Victoria is as familiar as Elizabeth, not less illustrious, and cherished with an even more affectionate reverence. The statement that Mr Victor Buxton relinquished his partnership in the brewing firm of Truman, Hanbury, Buxton and Co., ou account of bis teetotal principles, at a caorifioe of a million sterling, is denied. The firm, in a letter to tha Daily flews, states that' it is not the case that Mr Victor Buxton over was Admitted or asked to be admitted as a member of the firm, The capital belonging to the whole body of shareholders soercely exceeds the amount which, it was said, Mr Jlclor Buxton "has relinquished." And the lettor further says rhat Mr Victor Buxton's feelings toward the brewing trade are his own private concern, but everyone : acquainted with hiui knows that ho 'ia incapable of making the pharisaical boast wbieb baa been attributed to him
