The fourth session of the sixteenth Parliament came •to an end at three minutes before midnight on Saturday, * The Hon. W. Hall-Jones has been appointed High' Commissioner for the Dominion in London in succession to the Hon. W,..P. Reeves. " - A special feature of the September issue of the C.V.M.,- the organ of the. Adelaide Catholic Club* is the parody of a. scene from Shakespeare, in which the writer, ' Plautus,' gives notes of an alleged conversation, between two notorious religious firebrands. The sketch is too good to have only the limited publicity of a, society magazine. The October number of the Triad just to 'hand has been enlarged to 74 pages by the addition of a music- supplement containing 18 songs and pieces by such composers as Wagner, Schumann", Lassen, Grieg, De"ssauer, Gluck, Weber, and Gounod. There is something in this supplement to please every taste and to suit every voice. The letterpress is, .as usual, marked by personality and grip, and entire freedom from dulness, and as the price of the issue remains unaltered, it should have a very large sale indeed.
