The telegram from Mr Lake to Sir Robert Stout, a copy of which is printed in another column, clearly explains the idea of the former regarding the position of the Waikato iv relation to the. Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Amendment Act. Taking all things into ■iccouut, it would not perhaps be gracious to say the Act had been carelessly framed, thoi\gh it is not easy to understand how such an anomaly as that referred to by Mr Lake remained undetected. We shall await with auxiety, mingled with curiosity, the Premier's reply to the member for "YVaipa.

It is understood to be the intention of Government to sub-divide the Crown land* abutting on the Hamilton-Whata-v hata road in sections containing ench about 350 acres, part swanip and part dry land.

The Normanby Dairy Factory has ceased operations. An effort was made to keep it going, but proved futile. The loss on the year's operations was considerable, through the promised supply of milk not being forthcoming.

At the meeting of S. Andrew's Vestry, Cambridge, on the evening of Wednesday laBt, it was resolved to hold a bazaar in aid of payintr off the balance of^ the building loan.

"Puff" writes in the Wellington p res3 ._" I see Buller's put his name down for £5000 towards the Permanent Colonial Museum in London ! He headed the list '. Bravo Buller ! He'll g;et thnt K.C.M.G., or bust ! Don't you think it's just a leetle too conspicuous ? Well, perhaps it is, but the Prince of Wales is hot on the thing, and money goes a long way in these matters ! He must be a rum chap if he's prepared to givo £5000 for a handle to his namo, and such a brummagem one too ! Human nature dear boy ! It takes different, shapes in different people 1 Oh ye«, it's a free country ! If there was no difference of opinion, tbere'd be no fancy waistcoats ! "
An American paper cites as a romaikable instance of brief speaking and rapid transaction of business in the United States Senate the following case:— "Bill 1,117 to provide) for the deposit of the savings of United States seamen, was considered as in committee of the whole. The record then gives the further proceeding-, as follows-— Mr Edmunds.— That is a good Bill, I think. The Bill was reported without amendment, ordeied to be engrossed for a third reading, lead the third time and j>a:*ed. Here was a good pointed speech of seven words, all monosyllables, covering the ground and resulting in the immediate and complete success of the measure.
A vary good instance of the way in which things colonial are viewed at Home came (says the T.iranaki Herald) to our knowledge recently. A young gentleman who had been in the habit of depositing hi* savings in a Scotch bank, and receiving some li percent, interest, lecently camo out to New Zealand. He Hent word to his banker, who was nlso a friend of the family, asking him to transmit the deposit to a, certain colonial bank, adding that he could get 0 per cent, out in this part of the world. The banker, doubtless more in the capacity of a friend of the family, wrote seeking to dissuade him from transferring the account, urging that ft per cent, was ft fabulous rate of interest, and that any bank offering it must be unsound. To givo the young gentleman an opportunity of thinking the mutter over before taking such a rash step the banker delayed complying with the reqnest until he received further advices. The request was accordingly repeated, but it wa3 only on the mo.it preemptory instructions being given that the careful old Scotch banker would entrust his protege's funds to the tender mercies of the colonial institutions.
