The mace, the symbol of Parliamentary dignity, which was destroyed in the fire at Parliament Buildings, is to be replaced by a temporary substitute which is now being made by the firm of Messrs. M'Leod, Weir, and Hopkirk. It will be of Tasmanian hard wood, and is to "ftll the bill" until some one is discovered with sufficient liberality to present one of more pretentious description. The old mace was presented to Parliament very years ago, and cost something like £100.'
