BISHOPS AND SISTERS-IN-LAW.

The "Nineteenth Century" for January contains an article on "Bishops and Sisters-in-law." It Is a reply to the Blehop of Ox'ord, by Lord Bramwell, a itrong advooate for tho Deceased Wife's Sister Marriage Bill. The Bif»hop of Oxford wrote to the "Nineteenth Oentary" ia September, and Lord Bramwell tra- Tersea his statements, crashing them to powder and refuting everything. The tone of the papers Beemß to indicate a distinct leaning towards the paßsirig of the Deceased Wife'B Sister Bill.

TRAINED CARRIER PIGEONS.

A cenBUB has been for the first time taken of the carrier pigeons m Parip. The return sh >wb that these birds have in creased and multiplied m an astounding manner, Inasmuch as they nnmber 2500, of which 1780 have received a high train iDg, and can be trusted m ail weathers to go great distances. They are each trained to go to eurne particular laca'.iy from Patlfl, and others to come to Paris from different strongholds and great towns. The pigeons which, Bhould ever the capital be beleagured, are to keep it iv com munication with the forts above Gren< ble and those of the Pyreneea were bred m thooe mountains and m the Alps.

THE FIRST BANK IN NEW ZEA LAND.

Replying to a correspondent, the " Tat anakl fler&ld" eaya : —The firat bank established m the coloi>y waa called the "New Z;alatd Banking Ormpary," with a capital of £50,000 m 6000 shares of flO each. It was started at a meeting held m Fydney on February 14th, 1840 when a Mr William V. Brewer was m the chair. The whole of tho material for erecting premises at Kororareka were taken from Sydney m the schooner Chalydra on June 7, and the banking house was completed for busineas by October 7th, 1810. The bank notes were engraved on eteel m Sydney by Mr Mcffit, of Pitt Btreet, and are spoken of as being equal to work done at the tlraa m the Mother Country. We have not heard cf any cf these votes being now m existence. Dr Daniel Pollen was one of the original promoters of tho oompany.

ABONINABLE CRUELTY TO A CHILD

Williams— rr> >vm £ ia respectable society, well conD iCC . 1 l' B d> and bo forth, flogged thw«. -yuur little danghter Gladys nearly 'to death. The child, who wis only six years old, bad benn negligent with her lessons— ahe could not spell "fox" — whereop'in, after a dry bread luncheon, she was taken in'o the nursery and flogged with a riding whip, by her unnatural father for half-an ho'tft. Her ecreamß were dreadful. After thirty minutes tor ture, port wine was sent for, and then the flagging waß resumed. The poor girl, who wbb much bruised on the lower part tf her brdy, faic tad away at the closo of her punishment. The prose cution was conducted under many difficul ties, but the case was at last coat to Quarter Sessions. The jury found tho accused guilty, and the Chairman, instead cf Bending them to gaol, impoeed the miserable fine of £25 each.

FINDING WATER WITH THE DIVINING-ROD.

The " Waipawa Vail " of the lat iost cays : — Some ouriou3 experiments hove been made recently, with willow rcdß, with the object of finding out water. Settlers m Danevirke have been makiDg the trials, which .m many instances have been most successful. We believe that one experiment haa been made m Waipawa as woll, with equolly satisfac tory results. This ia the modus operandi A piece of fresh willow branch is hold between the two hands. It is forked at one end. The experimenter walks about wherever he thinks there la a possibility of finding water. As soon as he paa'es over water, tin willow rod bends down wards m the cantre, betweon the hands. The spot is marked, and the man walks onward. Presently the rod ber,d3 again, this time the d.>n*re going outward. Another peg is put m the ground, and the operation is repeated a third lime, m the opposite dirtc ion. The diatancb apart of these pegs enables the seekeo to tell how deep they must dig before tho water is reached. We merely repest the description of the process as it waa give) to m. The phenomenon is said to be perfectly natural and we are told that it can easily be accounted for.

NEW WHITE TERRACE.

A new white terrace hes been discovered m the Hot Like district, m the Walrar ipt* Valley, sixteen miloa from Botorua.

The new terraca is m pro cess of formation, and 1b moßt interesting It is highly gratifying to note a decided improvement m the tourist traffic to the Hob Lakes ditrlot. There waa a certain amount of alarm felt after the Tarawera eruption ,oouplod with th« idea that the chief " lions " of the district had been destroyed j bnt these impreßßions have been removed by the experience of visitors, and now that the safety and at tractivenets of the district have been re established, there will probably he a larger influx of visitors than ever before The manager for Messrs H.

FARMERS' COLUMN.

HOW TO TREAT OLD CHEESE

When a cheese which has been much salted and kept dry (says an exchange) is washed several times m BOft water and then laid on a cloth moistened with wine or vinegar, it gradually loses its saltness, and, if it be a rich cheese, from being hard and dry it becomes soft and mellow. This simple method of improving c" eoße is generally practised m Switzerland, where cheese are kept stored for many years, and if they were not very Bait and dry would soon become the p-ey of worms and miteß.

SHYING BOUSES.

This trick or'vice is generally the effect of nervous timidity, resulting from an excitable temperament. It is aggravated by improper handling. To punieh a horse for allying introduces a new cause of fenr The horse will be more alarmed and show more tokens of fear at the prospect of a whipping than at the imaginary object of danger m the road. Here one bad habit is confirmed by the introduction of another. It is to whip terror out of a horse or pound courage into one Kindness and gentle persuasion are the best weapons to correct the pernicious habit of shying. The less fear exhibited by the driver, and the Icbs notice taken of the shying by using harsh means the eooner will it be given up. A careful experienced horseman can generally detect an object likely to cause a nervous horse to shy, and by word or touch will encour age him to pass it unnoticed. When this fails give him time to look at the ob ject of fear ; pat him and coax him up to it, then tako him pasP it' two or three times, till he takes no notice of it. When defective eight is the cause of this bad habit it is incurable, and if the eye sight is failing, the horse for ordinary driving and riding is perfectly useless. A mare we knew that had gone quietly m harness for two or three years, suddenly took to jnmping the white stone crossings of an ordinary macadamised street, as if they wore water brooks. In three months she was stone blind.

A TWO-HUNDRED GUINEA PRIZE

The London correspondent of the Dunedin "Star " writes : — A number of New Zealaud farmers and Betilers will, it is hoped, compete for the 200 guinea jubilee priza to be given at the Frome (Somersetshire) dairy show m September next for the n'nest ohfese mado on the Cheddar eye tern anyivhere m Her Majesty's dominions, Mr Henry F, Moore is the projector ol the scheme, and to him, (I imnglne) all exhibits should be conslgi eel. Every cheese must he acct mpanied by a oertin'ed report describing tha method of manufacture. England already imports large quantities of New Zealand Cheddar cheese.

Mr Thomas Tucker, m a letter to the " Times," anticipates that New Zealand cheese-makerß will be formidable com petitors for Mr Moore's priz \ He advises those who oaunotccmprehendLowCheddar cheese can be a-i well mado m Canada or at the Antip.des as m Somerset shire, to read the report of Mr William Bowron, Inspector of Dairy Produce to the New Zealand Govern ment, aud quotes a statement of that gentleman's to the effect that New Zaaland already sends ua l< ihuuainds of tons cf five ripe cheese m April, May., and June, just at the timo when the pre vious year'B stock m England is need up." Mr Tucker thinks fiere is an unlimited market for good Cheddar cheese, and f.u^ geßto that a school for teaching tha met h id of manufacture should be started m Bnt'land, where young fellows m>ght loarri prior to emigrating to New Zealand or some other pastoral colony, and beenmin/ cheese manufacturers themselves

TOO MUCH L4ND A CURSE

.From an excellent papgr by ' A Smsl! Farmholder,' m the Adelaide ' ObEOivar,' we take the following :— -We know of a good number of steady-going farmers, owning moderately-acred farms, who have been doing well all along. We qnite recently heard of one who owns only five aores who earns over £400 a year upon it by growing lucerne. Of course this Is exceptional, because he lives near the city at Wocdville. There are many others near the clly doinp equally yell, whiJtt there are others, owning a conple of hundred of acrea of equally rich soil uloae by, who earn scarcely enough to keep the!:- fences jn repair. The same can be aaid of others all over the country. It Is not the large holders of land that always are the most' c <mfortab!e and successful, or who are the happiest. There are plenty of men who are a source of wonder to their neighbours, who cannot make out how they manage to ba always so comfortable on soch small farms, or even allot meats. Bat whiV. tha bit; farmer grow 3 nothing but wheat, and often fails with that, tha 'little' farmer manages to ralae an income from a dozen sources, and makes a deal more cff hia few ocrea (and at loes expense) than his neighbor can obtain from his extensive domain.

'Earth-hunger' has bden the ourse of England and Scotland • it has injured Amerios, it hza stopped progress m New South Wales and Victoria, and has prc voitad Weotcrn Australia becoming an important colony, In South Australia <vo can point to a very extensive an] rich part o? the colony that hua fallen in*o tho handi of twenty men who make use of it for a few sheep rut a ; but this hnd wou'd easily maintain thousands of families m comfort and happiness if it were divided amongst them and properly cultivated. This laat et'pulation, however, fs a very important, one, and would involve some, thi'-g better than whoakgrowinp. Butßtippoßing that it were possible that a man could maintain hima?lf and faniilv comfortably upon 100 a res of land— and we feel assured that ho could do so would it not be bettor for everybody that 400,000 families should bo maintained m comfort upon tho land, and that its fer tilitj? and productiveness should bo sus tained, than that some 20 000 or many less, should occupy tho earno area of land and half ruin it through imparfect cultiva tion ? The greater number of people there are m a country earning a living Snd producing goods of a mercantile value, the richer that country is ; and the greater the number of taxpayers the lighter the tax is upon the individual— the better able aro they to keep all public works m a state of eth'ci ncy. and to contend against fir?s that may attack their crops, or to protect themselves and thoir property against thii;veß, marauders. &c.

The man who owns thousands of acres of land cannot find manure to compensate for crops taken off, whilst it is quite easy to one who owns 50 to i 0). To properly plough and thoroughly cultivate 300 acres is withiu tho power oF a man and his son with a couple of teams, but h requires a largo drove of horses and a good stock of implements, as well ns several nired men, to properly work 1000 acres. A man needs to hold a good reserve m the bank m caseins 1000 acres fail him for one season ; but if ho fails twice or thrioi m succession h& will be ruined, notwithstanding 1 that he owns enough land to found a kingdom m some of the Kuropean c untries. The little farmer can always manage to rub along with tho aid of his garden, his cows, his poultry, his pigs, and a few other little odds and ends, and through cultivation he is almost certain to raise a fair crop ofwhoat where hia worried and hurried neighbor is almost as certain to fail m a bad season.

THE TOMAN TROUBLE.

The " Auckland Ball," which alone of all our exchanges, defends the Hey. Shirley B;>ker, ia the course of a leading article In its isßUe of tho ltt mat writes : ■—There is not tbo least doubt that Rev Shirley Buker has had hia faults Al Governments have, at d the mote firm the rule the more likely are there to be malcon tents ; but one thing ia beyond question — that he gave a settled government to a people who have only emerged from bar barism, th t he has saved to them the lands of the country, aud that not only the king, but the va t majority of the Tongau people, are firmly at-aohed to him, and anxious that the rule he has estab lished should be undisturbed That is a fact to ba borne m mind when people talk of the propriety of deporting the leaders of both parties by nn English man-of-war, and leaving lln Tongans to themselves. « , . We have before us very voluminous statements of the charges and counter-charges between tho contend ing parties m Tonga, and we are exceed* iugly impressed with the mischievous conduct of which Mr Moulton haa been guilty m his insolent and defiant bearing towards the King and the established laws of the country ; and with the unpardon abte conduct of the Wesley; n Conference of Australia m not listening to the earnest pleading of the King to deliver him from the presence of thia wretched intriguer, or the other alternative, to connect the Tongan Church with the Wealeyan Con ference of New Zealand. But a few illustrations of the mischievous conduct of Mr Moulton will throw light on the Tongan trouble. Ab showing the baleful influence that religion wickedly used may have on semi-savage minds, wo see that Mr Moulton waß charged with using " imprecatory " language against the King, and as he was fouud guilty of it by his District Meeting by eight votea t) one, we asume there was something m it. The King's grandeon was lying danger ously ill when Mr Moulton went to the King and said " The Lord has visited you your son David Uga has died ; and your grandson Albert will die;" and Moulton's explanation throws a terribly lurid light over the Influences brought to boar on such unenlightened minds. Says Mr Mouiton m explanation, " The circumstance that led to my^oing to the king at that timo was tho Illness of his grandson Albert, to whom I was much attached. When I visited him (Albert) one day, I saw he was near hia death ; no medicine Beemed to give him relief, and I thought that perhaps the|reaaon was that God was angry at the king's threatening the Church. For I am one that believe that Gou'a dealing's with Hie people are still somewhat after the fashion of Jewish dispensation ; that is, that some aina are sometimes punished iv this world. I also think it 1b a very seriom thing.to threaten the Church, so I went to see tho Kicg and eald tnat if there was any thing that hs was anxious that the Church Bhould do, he ohould tell us and we would give his wish every attention, but on no account to threaten, for I was afraid lest his family should perish. David waa dead, Albert was dying. I also Baid that interring In Church matters was the beeetment of able Kings. Saul wan an able King, and bo wae Uzaiah, and bo were eomo Kings of England m later times who had acted bo, and the Bible shows clearly God's attitude .tcward such," As Saul *nd Uzsiah were both slain for Interfering, the meaning of this t9rnble language to an old man, whoae bereaved heart was breaking for the approaching death of his grandchild, is eauly nndiratotd, and we cannot wender that ever after thia the King and Queen ref ÜBed to go back to live m Nukua lofa co long as thle clerical rufban resided there; and this blending cf pawky sanctimoniouanceß, with an aasuraed awe m wielding tha terrors of the Almighty, com- Dined with a fisndiah vengeance blended with the tendereet u- otion, reminds us of the worst ai.d most hateful forma of ecclesiastical tyran- y and terroritm over the human mind, ever reoorded of the bad old times; After readiog euoh an ''exculpation " of himaelf, can we wonder that his chief miaiater - " the brightest gem of Wesleyaniam," as he was called —and hia " hea3 student" have both been shot as accomplices m tho attempted murder of Mr Baker? And we can better understand now what Captain Lan and other friends of the Moulton faction have said about the attempted murder • that all the Europeans did waa to pay that "it was m this way that tyrants were treated m other phcea." If minds just emerging from heathenism were taught that it was God's will that death should visit thosa " interfering with the church," the sequel is easily expeoted. It was afcer this lerrible sjene at the deathbed of his grandchild that the poor old King wrote to the Wesleyan Confer ence at Sydnoy ; " Mr Moulton has used imprecatory hnguage against me, and anathematised mo, calling me • UzzUh ' and saying—" I have touched the • Lotu!' and therefore my son David Uga and ray grandson Aibmt have both died But what ovil have I done ? Ia it wrong for iuj) U dealro for my land to be both a church and a government ? Is that a Bin Intheaighto.' the Lord for mo aud my house to ba cursed by Mr Moultor.? I ear nestly, beg and my Privy Council earnestly begs for you to have love to me and Tongn, ai:d recall Mr Moulton, for I do not still wlah to Bee him or wieh to hear him preach ; he fs no longer of aDy service lv Tonga. I therefore beeeech you to recall him, and ro let Mr Watki.i return to Tonga to reeid with n:e. If j-0,, groni my request, I hereby promise that you wi,l never repent it ; but if not, it wiil be plaia enough to me and my people you do not with for Tonga to be at peace and prosper But I trust you will hay« respect to the petition and tears of an old man, who has almoit completed his ye;r of jubilee m tho Weslcyun Church " Will it be believed tint despite this earnest, tearful pleading, the Srydney Conference- refused" the p-ayer cf the p-or Kine, and, In violation of the rule of the Church for the periodical change of ministers, deliberately rotslued this Moulton to torment the peace of Tonpa, • . . . There is not a deliberat vo assembly m Ohrla!ondom that would have turned a deaf oar fo auch a prsyer sb thia from Tong«, but an assembly cf minis! era of region. ... We do not heattate to ?ay that the cruel, pitilepu cjnduot of the Sydney Oouferecco to Jouga ia enotgh to make th i cure of Hoavon rent on »ho Australian Wealeyan Ctiarch until this gruat wrong has been rep ired.
