NOTES.

Among the petty annoyances of life perhape there are few of a more vexa tious sort than those which are inflicted upon owners of gardens and orchards by the miserable paltry thieves who season after season despoil them ot choice flowers and carefully cultivated fruit. Except m the case of those who make gardening or fruit growing a business, every choice plant and pound of fruit generally represents m actual outlay ere it arrives at per fection far more than its market value, and such things are, therefore, not grown at home because it is cheaper to grow them than to buy them, but because of the innocent pleasure de rived from watching the gradual development of the opening blossom and ripening fruit, and the charm which attaches to the production by personal care and pains of anything beautiful or choice. It is, therefore, with, a special sense of wrong that the ravages of the garden thief and the orchard robber are regarded, and the vexation caused by their depredations is by no means to be measured by the mere money value of their ill-gotten booty. Yet this kind of petty thievery is un pleasantly common, and there is scarcely a garden or orchard m or near the , town which is not visited m turn. It is not a case of boys tempted to pocket a few ripe apples, the prowlers we refer to visit the fruit trees at night and carry off their plunder by the sackful, stripping trees of their whole produce, and leaving the owner the bare branches. They watch the trees till their fruit ripens, and then visit them m the nick of time, just before it is likely to be gathered, and systematically carry it off. This is a sort of thing which needs to be put a stop to, and it is to be hoped that the first of these midnight marauders who is caught m flagrantc delido will be made an example vipour encourager Us autres.

The argument before their Honors the Judges constituting the Court of Appeal m the Hall-Cain case has served to bring into prominence the finedrawn distinctions of English criminal pro cedure. Whether or not, after proof of the death of A at the hands of B, the fact that B on another occasion wilfully caused the death of C can be adduced to show that the death of A was pro bably also wilfully caused by him; it appears to be conceded that the fact that B murdered C cannot be adduced as m any way presumptive evidence that he (B) was quite capable of mur dering A. That is clearly m accordance with that judge-made law which has been built up by a long series of decisions and precedents, but it is not withstanding perfectly open to criticism, and to amendment by statute law. And though those decisions and prece dents may be m true accordance with the letter of the law as it has hitherto stood, we think that, even if so, the sooner the law is amended the better. For, m all ordinary common sense transactions, the general tenor of a man's conduct is taken into account m judging of the correct interpretation to be put upon a particular act ; nay, more, one act is regarded as \hrowing light on another. 1 hus, if a man be seen staggering m the street who has frequently been known to be intoxi cated, we judge that his unsteady gait is attributable to this cause ; nay, .if a man be charged with drunkenness who has been known to be drunk even once before, the one offence is allowed to weigh tosomeextent m deciding as to the probability of the other. So with lying, so with dishonesty. This method of judging is the common rule of life, and we cannot see the smallest impropriety m making it a rule of law also. That is to say, we think it should be m all cases competent to tender evidence as to any similar transgression, quantum valeat, as proof of the probability of guilt, just as evidence of previous good character can be, and is, called for the purpose of showing its improbability. No jury would convict a man of an offence because he had been shown to be guilty of another similar offence, but especially m cases where the whole question turns upon circumstantial evidence, the jury would, it seems to us, be fully entitled to take into account the presumption of probability, either for or against the accused, afforded by . his general conduct, or by any par ticular action on his part.

There is something irresistibly funny about the declaration by the S\. Peters burg organ of the Czar's Government, that the limits of " Russia's patience ! " bave been exceeded by recent transac tions m Bulgaria. "Ma Conscience ! " the reader may well exclaim,* for the attitude of injured innocence taken up by the Arch-plotter of Europe is absolutely impudent m its assumption of a virtue which Russia never possessed m the smallest degree. Doesn't all the world know that she has been, and still is, at the bottom of all the mischief that is going on, and is it not patent to all the world that she brings about disturbances for the very purpose of having an excuse to inter fere ? Of course it is, but then even Satan himself likes to don the garb of mock-righteousness, and Holy(?) Russia even does not care openly to avow a policy of rapine and plunder. She covets the vineyard of Naboth, but wants an excuse to set foot within it,

and m default of having one ready to hand is quite capable of manufacturing a pretext for herself. Her own agents stir up strife, and then the existence of that strife is made the plea for inter ference m the cause of order and good government. It is an old game, and one that Russia has played with con siderable success, and which very obviously she wishes to play again} She has been making active prepara tions for a long time, past, and only waits till what appears to be a favor able moment to put her plans into execution. The European spring is opening out and the hour approaches for the first decisive move. Hence her "patience" is exhausted. We may therefore, we suppose, shortly expect to see the mask thrown off, acd her real intentions declared.

Recently there has been quite an epidemic of fires— Dunedin, Auck land, Wellington, Napier, and Gisborne having all experienced conflagrations of great magnitude, the total damage done totalling up to over half a million sterling. Besides these instances of widespread devastation, there has been an immense number of smaller fires m

all parts of the colony', and the insurance offices must have had an exceedingly hard time of it, though the statement which recently appeared that the losses of the past six months would aggregate a larger sum than the total of the premiums for ten years must surely be an exaggeration of the actual fact. Be that as it may, matters are bad enough, and the frequency of fires, many of them obviously preventible, should lead householders to exercise greater pre cautions for the safety of their premises. As it is, carelessness is only too generally the rule, and m view of the extent to which it prevails the wonder is that there are not still more fires than now occur. Besides this, how ever, we fear that there is some con nection between the depressed state of the labcr market and of business generally and the frequency of fires. The two things always occur together, and hence an intimate relation may naturally be inferred. It is to be feared that m some cases a fire is resorted to as the best way of realising upon pro perty, and m others that the fiiestick is applied m the hope of creating work m the rebuilding of the destroyed premises. The best remedy for that sort of thing is for the Insurance Offices and the authorities to insist on a rigid enquiry into the circumstances attendant upon every fire, the origin which is not patently accidental, and the visiting of the crime of arson, whenever detected, with salutarily severe punishment.

THE UNEMPLOYED IN NEW SOUTH WALES

The Danedln " Herald " writes :— j Things have come to a nice pass m Free trade New Sooth Wales, The Minister of Works having aßked to be supplied with information as to the number of tradesmen m Sydney who are out of work, stepß were taken to obtain the desired information, and at a meeting at which twenty-four trades were represented the following figures were handed In :— Brick makers, 800; pattern-makers, 70 ; general engi neers, 700 ; coachmakera (all branches), 300 ; brioklayeri, 500 ; carpenters, 14.0U ; plasterers, 500 ; ftsnemaaonn, 900 jßlatere, 35 ; painters, 350 ; bakera, 100 ; general smiths, 89 ; iron moulders, 100 ; plumbers, 60 ; book-keepoi a stated at 400. Ten trades have to be added to the l'at. Of general laborers, 3000 were put down as without work, fn add'tlon to 309 brick makers m search of employment. The rest are only working half time. This gives a total of 8795, which with other trades' returns, will amount m round num bers to 10,0?0 men out of employment m Sydney at the present time.

THE STORY OF EMIN BEY.

(St. James G«Z9tte.)

Beyond the fact that he is labouring m the cause of civilisation somewhere m the Soudan, very little is known of Emln B^y. Yet be is a truly remarkable man. It Is now eight years since General Gordon appointed him Governor-General of the Egyptian Equatorial Provinces, a district so large that Great Britain would lie m a corner of it. Emln Bey, who was an Austrian doctor, started upon his work without any flourish of trumpets. His task looked like an impossible one ; but Gordon was always doing " impossible" things himself, and expected as much of his lieutenants. Wnen Enain Bey reached the provinces he waß to rue over, if he could reduce them to order, ha found things about as bad as they could be. That was In 1878 In three yeais he had swept the slave traders out of that enor mous tract of land, with its six million inhabitants ; and these gentry bave never dared to Bhow their faoea tinoe. The provinces had so far been governed at a den'olt of £3P,000 per annum ; by the end of 1881 there was a surplus of ;£BCOO. Then came the Soudan war, and beiug hopelessly beyond relief, Emm Bey was first neglected, and then forgotten. It is three years since he had instructions of Bny kind from the Egyptian Government, though In 1886 he managed once or twice to communicate with them. As a rule, what messages he bad sent to Egypt or elsewhere have been intercepted. All that is known of his life daring these yearn is derived from a few private letters to a friend.

Em n Bey has more than held his own these three years. There has been fight ing ; but he has driven the enemy back, sometimes after terrible struggles. He haß w|th him some 4000 troops ; and this m how he writes of them, referring to one of these confllots when hfs men were attacked from the north :—

"Deprived of the most necesoary thinga, for a loDg time without any pay my men fought valiantly ; and when at laßt hunger weakened them, when after nineteen dayß of incredible privations and BufferiDgß, their strength was exhausted, and when the last torn leather of tho last boot had been eaten— -then they cut a way through the midst of their enemies, aad sucoeoded m saving themselves." Now, Emm Bey, is not a General Cor don, but he is a man of Gordon's stamp. Had Benin Boy oared to leave the women and children to their fate, and tho nativee to the slave traders, he could have cut his way with the pick of his men to the Congo. But Emm Bey never thought of deserting hio post beoauee the Government had de serted him. Without ammunition he Is at the mgrcy'of the first hostile potentate, auoli as the King of Uganda- who makes up his mind to annex the provinces. The brave Austrian makes no demand on the Britis'i Government for help ; but he sees ar.d svps ih»t if a relief force could be sent to him, it would save his life and save the provlno; s. Erain Bey has tnu :ht the natives of the Egyptian Equat rial Provinces the culti vation of cotton, rice, indigo, <&o. He has mede weavers of come of them, and boot makerß of others. The map he uaes Jb of his own manufacture. In his vety last letter he t>ld ua of his attempts to vacci nate' tho people. The death rate m the province has been very high of Into, owing to an epidemic of smallpox. He has built a hospital, m whioh he spends the better part of his mornings. He is a school master. He has connected the different parts of the provir;o 3 s by week'y pouts, there beln# forty utatiouß. In short, he has done so much m co shirt a space of time that, with a little assistance, there mast be a great career of usefulness before him.

It may be, how ever, that before a relief foroe caT reaoh him Eoiin Bay will havo succumbed. In tho meantime he is of good cheer. Though his days are long, and his work laborious, and hU peril great, he is still, m hie leisure, the student he was m his earlier days. When if. gels dark he retires to the h< use and lights ihr candle which he makes himself Then he sits down to his (olentifio atudieß. A* theße times he might be a man of science m his laboratory m London. In bis lati* letter he wiijheß he had more books, and laments the eo»rolty of " fine shot, araenio, ioda, etc , to enable me to continue the preparations of Zoological s t eoimen," Surely a man like this ought not to be left to perish.

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long oourse of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being baaed on Boientitio formula and abaolnte oare and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaoeuti- oal Preparations of the day. How auo- cesßful we have been ln this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to atate that we have sold 28,089 Vials of De Haydook's, New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find m Haydook' New Liver Pllle a wonderful and extr» ordinary combination of concentrated medlolne. The Victories of Science— Eleotrio Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system (of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountlesa Pills used for diseasos and olaimlng nmob as to their merit, the remarkable dis- covery of Dr. Haydook has eollpaed them all, and haa founded a New Medical Sya- tern. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the otomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with 0&4 or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay* dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the vpirit light and buoyant.
