The iEypornis maximus is the big" gesfc bird either living or extinct, being more than 10ft highland- flightless. .

The Hawera Star'says:—We don't know of any instance of a man longn retain! ing the allegiance ;i of five Sevenths of a representative assembly; and Mr Seddon at anyrate is not.the sort of person to make a record in that way. ! "The "old Opposition is smashed, and there, is ; nothing to bind together the remnant left.'" Whether they will"remain/together is ; doubtful;"iWe: scarcely think" that' all of'thW wilfbe found on the side of the dividing line which Sin Robert Stout is setting up,' biifc if he were, content with, a three-fifths majority for the direct' veto, it is probable that,most of them,would agree that the; price would not be too much to pay fora; change in administration. Honest Government is of the first imp'ortaucerand we are not getting that at present, as, Sir Robert Stout will soon let the people know now that he need: not fear the Conservatives; • / ' Ihe Hamilton Amateur Dramatic Company repeated the performance of the " Ticket-of-Leave"Man "on Thursday.evening to, we; (to :say, a ratherthin house.
