The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1887. SPLENDID MUNIFICENCE.

Many and various are the modes m which the Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty is to be commemorated by her subjaccs m different parts of her wide dominions, ranging from the establish ment of a great Imperial Institute down to the erection, mtrabile &ktu % of a public pump. There are hospitals, and benevolent institutions of all sorts to be founded, .statues erected, fountains opened, public clocks set up, Queen's drives and recreation grounds to be laid out, while one Scottish community has seized the occasion for the estab lishment of a public graveyard, and another community (not m the land of cakes) is to commemorate the aus picious occasion by the purchase of — a hearse ! Incongruous as are some of these notions, such, bizarre not lo say grim, celebrations as the last two pro posals are happily the exception, the rule being that the public will be the gainers by the national commemoration m the shape of many useful works and many beneficent institutions. The Queen's funds established m Victoria and New Zealand by Lady Loch and Lady Jervois respectively for the relief of indigent women will take a high place among the latter, and it is pleas ing to find that movements such as these are meeting with a generous response. The noblest example set m any of the Australian colonies m this direction is that of Mr and Mrs Davies, of Toorak, who, though not by any means the wealthiest of the many wealthy Victorians, propose to celebrate the Jubilee of the reign of the Queen by the distribution of the munificent sum of ;£io,ooo. The money is to be devoted to charitable purposes, without regard to 'distinction of sector party. One-half of the amount (^5000) is to be placed m the hands of trustees for the erection of cottages for the deserv ing and aged poor. It is estimated that the amount is sufficient to provide about twelve small cottages, m which the persons selected fcr participation m the benefit of this fund will be allowed to live rent free. The Hospital for Consumptives and the Imperial Institute are each allotted .£IOOO, and a similar sum, which will be increased if the charity is found to be of benefit, is set down for the assistance of poor people of loan or gift so as to enable them to purchase a cow or mangle or tools, etc. Lady Loch's Queen's fund is to receive -£500, and the remaining is to be applied m sums varying from to ;£jo to different objects, chiefly of a philanthropic character. A munificence so splendid and so well directed calls for the heartiest admira tion, and is worthy of imitation by other colonists, m New Zealand and elsewhere, whose wealth is much greater than is that of Mr and Mrs Davies.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

At a meeting of the Volunteer Ball Com mittee on Wednesday evening, it was deoided not to issue tickets for onlookers at reduced rates. As many persons are m doubt as to whether they oan attend the ball m evening dress, we have been requested to Btate that persons attending the ball can drees as they wish. We witnessed a practice of the grand march by the Volunteers at the Driilßbed on Tuesday evening. Tho men entered into the praotico with spirit, and the maroh went off very well.

An enquiry was held to-day bofore Mr J. Ivess, 8.M., as' visiting justice, into certain charges preferred by Thos. Gallagher againat the Aehburton gaoler. At the request o!

His sales are, we understand, conduoted m a manner whioh is nearly " as good as a play." He intends to parade the streets on Monday with what he desoribea as "a state carriage," and a very swell turnout.

The quarterly meeting of the Loyal Ash burton Lodge, 1.0.0. F., M.U., was held last evening m the Lodge room. There was a large attendance of mem berg. After the or dinary routine business was gone through tho election of officers was proceeded with, with the following result ;— N.G., Bro Jas. Elliott ; V.G., Bro T, Jones ; E.S., Bro Jas. Keir. The minor offioes were satisfactorily filled. It was deoided to celebrate the anniversary of the Lodge early m July, and a committee was elected to carry out the same. It was re solved to call the members of the distriot to gether by advertiament, on Monday, to take part m the jubilee demonstration. One member was initiated and two candidates for admission. The newly elected officers were installed into their chairs by G.M , Bro Horgan. The receipts were shown to be £72 5a 9d, and the expenditure £5 11s.

She was laid down at Chatham m 1759—128 years ago— and was launched on May 7, 17C3. On the day of Trafalgar she *as already an old ship.

AN ODE TO HIS BANKER

The following clever parody of a well-known nursery ditty appeared m a recent issue of the " Dunedin Evening Star " : — Who, when m business I began. Discussed my every sobeme and plan, And seemed the kindeat sort of man ? My Banker Who used to know me m the street, And would my coming kindly greet Whene'er with him I chanced to meet 7 My Banker I Who thought my sphere I should extend, . And gladly would " the needful " lend ? Who was, indeed, my warmest friend? My Banker I Who paid eaoh cheque and met eaoh bill, And urged on further outlay still, Said " Look to me for what you will ?" My Banker 1 Who saw afar the coming atorm ? Who bade me Bign a printed form ? (It was, of oourse, " the merest form ") My Banker! Who, when depression 'gan to lower, Forsook mo m that evil hour, Yet had me safely m his power ? My Banker 1 Who, now the olouds more darkly loom, Calls me into his private room, And fills my very soul with gloom ? My Banker } Who that had erstwhile talked and ohaffed And at my cautious fears had laughed, Mow growls about my overdraft ? My Banker! Who naught of former kindness reoke, Who doth my spirit sorely vex By hinting at dishonored cheques ? My Banker Who is it haunts me night and day ? Who drives all joy m life away ? Who is it that I long to slay ? My Banker!

THE BISHOP AND THE BOOTS

The substance of this story oomes from a Sydney religious paper, tne "Echo." A few weeks ago a bishop had stacked hii episcopal llmba In his narrow bed at an Auatralian country inn, and the landlady, who was resolved to pay him proper re spect, was drilling the "boots" downatain and giving him his first leoaon In etiquette. "When ye take ap the shaving water," she said, "yo must knock at the door, and when he asks who's there, ye mnit say ' The boy, my Lord.' Now, let mo hear ye say that." The nnhappy youth said it accordingly a dozjn times over* He said it straight off, and upside down, and orosswaya ; he sad it sometimes with the boy first, and *omet'mes with tht Lord first, and sometimes with the two walking abreant, and when he thought he baa got it right 00 that tho felobop would full understand that it wasn't the girl he started upstairs and knocked. The bishop yelled " who'n there V jast as the land* lady had foreseen, but he was floored In one sot when the voloe outside reiponded promptly, " The Lord my boy 1" The consequences to the boy were too painful to be deiorlbed.
