Me Bubke is a very young member of the Queensland Parliament. He annoyed a colleague. " Wait till you have a barber's bill to pay," was the effective jeer of the colleague at his smooth-faced assailant. In Cncamenga, California, a pretty servant girl has captured a millionaire, aged seventy-nine, and named Daniel Hamilton. He has four children, thirteen prandchildren, and one great-grandchild, and all objected to his marriage, but could not stop it. Mrs Harrison, the wife of America's President-elect, has let it be known that ahe will discountenance the low-necked dresa. She is, however, on the side of the bustle in the other preat controversy which is moving American society from apex to base. A Greek, who appears to be a man of intelligence has arrived at Suakim from Khartoum, which place he left two months ago, travelling by way of Kassala. He declares that nothing whatever was known, when he left Khartoum, of the fall of the Equatorial Provinces and the capture of Eniin Pasha. He further states that the Mahdi's troops were twice defeated in Bahr-el-Guzelle province.
