SEASON.

(Fhom Ovju Own Ookkksiioni>kxt.') London, December IL.

POLITICAL MATTKUS.

Now that the Government has had its innings on the platform, fhe Opposition is to the fore, and we have been having speeches (or reading them) from Mr Morley and Sir "William liarcourt. Sir William will break a jest with, any" one, and always Sends hif> audience into roars of laughter. llin special object of attack was Mr Chamberlain, whose explanation of his position did not please Sir William. Sir William declared that the Opposition would not have him at any price, because he had disavowed the actions for which he was responsible as a member of Mr Gladstone's Cabinet. Mr Morley contented himself with regretting the severance of an old friendship; for he and Mr Chamberlain had' been old friends, and with refusing to have anything to do with a Local Government Bill for Ireland. Mr Morley is very plain spoken, and knows what he wants. That we are going to have a Local Government Bill Mr Balfour has just made clear. It is definitely to take its place in the programme of 1892. Meanwhile Mr Gladstone; has been opening dining halls at the factories of Messrs Lever Bros., of Sunlight Soap fame, where his address was in the best possible tone and temper.

The Unionists have won East Dorset, and are congratulating themselves. They were very frightened about South Moulton, though I hear indirectly from Mr Gladstone's secretary that the G.O.M. himself did not attach any very great importance to the victory there. He recognises now that he will have the Labour party to deal with, and in many constituencies the votes will be split. As Mr Oniminghame Graham says, " We're not going to have the representatives of capitalism representing us," and the said representatives, in his mind, are the Liberal party. It is interesting to note that Sir Arthur Cowell-Stepney, M.P. for the Carmarthen Boroughs, has 'verted to Unionism. He is at present on a voyage to Western Australia for his health, but has written announcing his change of mind. The Parnell split seems to have been the immediate cause of his recantation.

TIIK UOVAL KNG.UiKMEN'T

The news that Prince Albert Victor was formally engaged to Princess Victoria of Teck (formally known as Princess "Mary") was by no means a surprise. Humour has from time to time been busy coupling their names, though now and then it was Prince George who was hinted at. It was commonly reported that when Prince George was despatched to the Mediterranean 12 months ago,

it wa-s to cut short a growing attachment between the young people. This was

incorrect, like so many rumours.JgThe Duke of Clarence was the favoured son, and the Prince of Wales has shown his sense in allowing the match. Princess " Mary" is popular, and reckoned "very English." The time has gone for German princelings, and even if H.H.H.

id not (as he is well-known to do) detest these,

liis choice of a quasi-English girl for his daughter-in-law would be further evidence of his very shrewd mind. The betrothal just hits

the public taste. lam not speaking now in the language of the loyal dailies, but giving 3rou the general talk of the streets. "No Germans " may be a very vulgar cry, but it is a loud one, and the Prince is sensible of this and sympathises with it —witness the marriage of Princess Louise to the Duke of Fife.

Of the Teck family I could tell some funny tales, but forbear. The Prince of Teck is a very amiable man, with a none too magnificent

income, and the struggles to make ends meet he and the Princess Mary have had, smack of the ridiculous. Once the furniture had to be sold, and the poor impecunious prince has before now borrowed a sovereign from obliging

friends. Yet there is no one more popular than his wife, aud no woman more amiably bohemian.

PKKSONAL ITEMS.

Mr Imre Kiralfy, the remarkably successful organiser of the grand spectacle of " Nero " at Olympia during Barnum's recent visit, and the now promotor of "Venice in London," is a Hungarian by birth, and is about 50 years of age. Ho possesses a pair of piercing brown eyes, and long dark hair. Kiralfy has achieved great fame in the United States, where he produced "Black Crook," which had a great run in New York. He was engaged by the State of Now York to produce a State spectacle commemorating the

discovery of America by Columbus ; and next year he will also superintend a State spectacle in Madrid illustrative of the departure of Columbus on his voyage. Meanwhile " Venice " is rapidly approaching completion, and should prove one of the most powerful attractions London has yet seen.

The death of Lord Combermerc is announced, owing to his lordship's being run over by a cab. He was 73 years of age, and in his day was one of the most daring horsemen in England. The

new peer will inherit the Cheshire estates, which have a rental of L13,000 a-year, and also the pension of L2,000 per annum, which was granted to the soldier founder of the family for three lives. Both he and his countess have qualified for high station by having been divorced.

EVIDENCE OF EXCELLENCE. Messrs James Buchanan and Co. have received the' official appointment to supply Scotch whisky to the House of Commons, as the following attests •. —" To Messrs Jtunes Buchanan and Co., 20 Bucklersbury, London, E.C. Gentlemen, —I have the pleasure to inform you that the Chairman of the Refreshment Committee, the Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.l'., has instructed me to appoint you to supply Scotch whisky to this department until further notice. Enclosed please find official order for quantity at present required.— (Signed) AV. Chrichton Saundkrs." FERNS have become very great favourites during the last few years and are becoming more so every year. Nor can we wonder at this, for they are certainly amongst the most elegant and graceful of Nature's productions. New Zealand is known in England as the " Home of Ferns," and justly so ; for, as compared with any other country, it contains a much larger proportion. There are about 3000 species and varieties of ferns all over the globe, toward which the small islands of New Zealand contribute 29 genera and 124----species; thus, small and remote from other lauds as these islands are, one-twentieth of the ferns which grow all^ over the world are found here. Britain has^-only 13 genera and 27 species. No plant requires less care than the fern —it thrives in spots where flowering plants would die; place them where you will and they will grow and develop their feathery forms with all their natural grace even in the presence of squalor and misery. The increasing demand for these favourite plants has induced me to erect and furnish a Fernery second to none in the colony, and I am now in a position to offer every native variety worthy of cultivation. — G-EOROE MATTHEWS, Mukjv Place; and Hawthorn Hill, Mohninotok.
