Ashburton Guardian Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. SATURDAY, JANUARY 18. 1890. THE COLONY'S JUBILEE.

The •' Gazette " (we are informed by telegraph) contains a proclamation " notifying that the public offices in the Provincial District of Wellington will be closed on Wednesday, January 22nd, being the anniversary of the settlement of Wellington," The italics are our own and are used to draw attention to the fact that the Government declines ( to recognise the 22nd (the d»y Welling ton has be'en standing out for as the Jubilee anniversary of the Colony) as anything more than the anniversary of the founding of "the settlement of Wellington." That disposes of the question as to whether or not the 22 ad should be observed by the rest of New, Zealand, but it does not dispose of that other, question which everybody is wait ing (apparently in vain) to see officially { determined, namely, "what day is to be \ observed as the Jubilee anniversary of the Colony ?" True the matter may perhaps be infeirentially regarded as settled by the fact that. His Excellency the Governor will officially take part in this jubilee celebra tion at Auckland on the 29th, but even so, is it to be the case that while the Government offices throughout the Wellington provincial district are to be closed on the 22nd and holiday kept in honor of the jubilee of Wellington no notice is to be taken of that much more important event, the jubilee of New Zealand? If there is to be a public holiday on the latter day it is high time that the fact were proclaimed ; indeed the proclamation ought to have appeared weeks ago. Possibly it would have so appeared but for the fact of tho absence of the Premier, released from whose supervision the other Ministers seem to have been taking matters uncommonly easy, and letting business take care of itself or go uncared-for, in practical exemplification of the old adage " When the cat's away," etc. Possibly the Government will even yet screw them selves' up to the effort of settling this little matter; yet, as, judging from recent experience, it is not all improbable that the proclamation fixing the holiday may be gazetted several days after the date of the day appointed to be observed (a la that relating to the Ashburton county chairman's, 'election), it would be as well for the borough and county authorities at once to confer and issue a notification on their own account so as to determine the question so far as Agh burton is concerned.

There appears to be a good deal of pre judice in Sydney against New Zealand butter, but, writes a correspondent to the " Auokland Star," " you will understand how groundless the prejudice is from the following well authenticated episode:—" A tradesman in Sydney bought a quantity of New Zealand butter at 6d per lb, and failing to dispose of it in the ordinary way of business, he removed the brands and took the butter out into the suburbs, where he represented it as having oome from the Ooaet and sold it for Is 3d per lb."

The "Napier Telegraph " of the 14th inst. writes t —The first horse raoe that was ever held in New Ze.aland took place on Te Aro flat at Wellington. There was only one horse, the first that was landed in the future oapital of the colony, but the presence of a horse suggested a raoe. A course was laid out, and hurdles put up, and ciix men, to start at different points so as to take up the running, entered against the horse; stakes, £30. The horse lost through refusing the last jump, and the men divided the stakes—£§ each. One of the men was Mr Gannon, whose death ie announoed in our obituary£oolumn to*day.

The Sultan presented Bmperor William with the famous sabre of Sultan Murad IV, which originally belonged to Emperor Frederick of Hapnburp, who reigned during the early part of the fourteenth century. Ie is a oroßa-handled sword of great length, with handle and sheath of solid silver, superbly chased. The Damascus blade is engraved with German inscriptions and the imperial eagle is oarved upon the handle. Jn the sixteenth century the sabre, which wus v heirloom in the Hapsburg family, was given by Emperor Mathias to Count Hunyadi of that day, who was killed in battle fighting against the Turks, who oaptured the weapon. For more than 300 years it has been a prominent objeot in the imperial armory at Constantinople.

The dog, like most of its Bpecies, is often troubled by performing fleas, and when these things get too troublesome he struts about the yard in search of his feathered friend. Having found the rooster, the spaniel stretches himself full length on the ground, and his friend commences to peck out all tb.6 insects in the dog's wool, an operation which lasts about five minutes. At the oonolusion of his task the rooster gives a triumphant crow, the spaniel wags his tail, and then walks off ! Fact I—«• papier Telegraph.?'

The defenoas of Gibraltar are not by any means iv a satisfactory condition. The 100 ---too gun whiob was displaced from its position some two years ago, owing to the platform giving way during practice firing, has not yet been replaced, and the other gun of the same calibre cannot be used, lest a worse aooident should happen. The rook galleries are quite unsuitable for the modern heavy ordnance. Yet new batteries have not been constructed. In faot the only benefit the Book has gained from the special fund voted for defence abroad has been a small battery near the summit. The War Office authorities will have to seriously turn their attention to this important fortress, or else its reputation will be ita chief defenoe, — "Court Journal."

TREASURES OF THE DEEP

During the dredging now going on in the port of Santander, Spain, the well-preserved remains of a war ship were encountered at the entrance to the harbour, partly buried in the mud and sand, which must have gone down m that spot four centuries ago. As the dredgeri could not remove the old hull, the Spanish Government ordered it to be blown up, and to employ diver; for living what could be saved. The work luu uuicd out a very profitable one, and great care is- consequently displayed. -The vessel dates probably from the end of the fifteenth or' the beginning of the sixteenth centuryV 'Gun? and" other equipments raised show the united coats-of-arms of Castille and Arragon, and some bear the scroll of Isabella la Catolica, others ibe crowned '•'F" of Ferdinand the Catholic. As among the numerous arms found on board there are many of Italian or French origin, and the vessel appears to have served as a transport,, it is generally supposed that she belonged to the expedition of Gonzalo de- Cordova against 'Naples, and thkt slie foundered Qn her return from Italy laden with trophies and plunder, on emeripg the port of fcantander; this surmise js supported by the fact that, among the coins saved there are, besides Spanish coinage, the head of Charles the Eighth oi France and of the various Italian states of the time.

SOUTHLAND

(FROM OUB OWN COBRBSPONDBNT.)

We have now get over the holidays, an.d are settling down to our usual vocations. Whether for better or for \yorse this has been the quietest Chrjs'traas-r=-that is aj regards horse ■racing and other auausemeats —For many years past. The weather, with the exception of a shower or t vo, was all that could be desired. A great many people from Canter bury visited Southland, including several from your county, but none except Mss Saunders, of your High School, took the trouble to call at your correspondent's place o,f abode, which is situated some five miles from the Otautau railway station. The diive to it is the reverse of a pleasant one, for in addition to the road being crab-holey, the mighty Aparima River rolls between, the strong current of which has washed away several persons during the past three years while attempting to cross on the line of road 1 refer to. lo make matters still worse, the weather during the afternoon became bitterly .cold, so much so that, anyone coming from your warm climate could do no other than feel as if they were in one of the New Zealand Shipping Company's freezing chambers. Notwithstanding all, however, my fair guest seemed to enjoy her trip to th.es'e far regions of {he setting sun. Many of your readers, no doubt, will be sorry to hear of the sad accident which happened to MrJ. Hard wick, who for many years carried on farming at Seafield, and now resides near Otautau. On returning from the township he went to turn out his horse, leading the animal with a. rope, having his arm through a loop that was en the end of it. On entering th,e padlock the hor.se took flight, and dragged the old man after it for a distance of fully half a mile, and not until the hoirse had stopped of his own accord did any of his family notice the accident, and when picked up Mr Hard wick was quite unconscious aad covertdwith blood. He, as; you are aware, is a heavy man, and has nearly run the span of his allotted time, and the wonder is that h.e, did not get killed right out. He is, however, recovering fast, and being a man of cast-iron constitution I have every reason to hope that he will very soon be about agam. While on this subject I may state that Mr Hardwick is one of the most successful farmers in this district and is reckoned a great authority upon all agricultural matters. Among other things he is willing to stake £$ that no one can grow the Californian thistle from seed. Whether he is right or wrong I cannot say, but of this I am certain triat the weed is spreading here at an alarming rate, and hitherto no attempt lus been made to check its growth. Either the soil is very poor here or the deferred payment settlers are very hard to please. The Commissioners have already made some sweeping reductions, and in scores of instances went as far as the law would allow, that is to 12s 6d an acre, but at the last meeting of the Waste Lands Board they ex pressed regret at not being; in a position to make a present of some of the holdings to the occupiers, so that we may look forward to further concessions being made to all Crovra {tenants. The whole affair seems quite a mystery to me. In many instances settlers have paid from £■§ fo g an acre qn account of their deferred'payment sections, who now ftnd that the price has been reduced to about hiU that amount. What's going to be.done swifh the money overpaid ?Isitto be refunded ? If so it is only right that the cash purchasers who paid too much should receive some con sideration.

-Now for the Crops.—The season so far has been' favorable to the growth of aU cereals \ in fact it ha§ been all that could be desireci. Kain has fallen from time to time when most wanted, and the crops every where are looking splendid, and on some of the river flats the heads of wheat are as luxuriant- as could be wished. Should the weather continue favor able for about three weeks harvesting will have commenced here. Grass is abundant everywhere, and stock of all descriptions are (icing remarkably well. The early sown turnipg have "done well, but the most of what was put in about Christmas have teen taken * • *k« ilv;:'the result being that farmers are resowiiig."' The area under grass seed crop,, the harvesting of which is now going on, is very limited, and the yield will not be good. " Jan. idth. 1890.

CHRISTCHURCH CORN EX CHANGE REPORT

The following is the Corn Exohange report for week ending Friday, January 17th, 1890. The weather has been anything bat settled of late, and is oausing no liiitle anxiety to farmers generally. The warm ripening days that we should have at this time of the year are apparently to oome; the frost noted in the Northern diatriots, and whioh we are in formed has damaged the potato orop, is some what phenomenal. With the large stocks held of both wheat and oats, prioes cannot fail to be low ; great difficulty is ex perienced in moving the stooks that have accumulated, and were it not that epaoe is available for wheat to London the position would be worse. As it is holders of oats are at a loss to know what to do with the surplus of ast season, and prices have reoeded con siderably with still a downward tendenoy. Samples of new oats will be offering shortly, and prices will, no doubt, then assume quotable figures. Grass Seed, rye, a few samples have been on the market. As far as can be judged the seed will be over the usual standard as to weight per bushel, but is some what dark in color owing to recent showers. Prioes have opened in favor o:l sellers but the demand ib very limited, and the quantity <flering will afleot values later on. Cocksfoot: Aa yet, no threßhed samples have beeu offered. The following are our week's quota tions. ,

A SPLENDID SUCCESS.

The Railway Commissioners may be congratulated on the conclusive proof afforded oa Thursday of the thorough effectiveness of their arrangements with a view to avoiding the wear and tear of rolling stock. The public, who have, in past years, been guilty of giving coun tenance to the ridiculous assumption that the railways were constructed with a view to afford the greatest possible facilities for traffic, have, during the past few weeks, been vexing the souls of Mr Maxwell and his colleagues by clamor ing for cheap and easy means of reaching tbe Dunedin Exhibition, a compliance with which extraordinary and unreason able demand would necessarily have bought about the phenomenon of i eavily-loaded trains, with the necessary consequence of increased cost of traction and wear and tear of rails and rolling stock ; thin, as a matter of course, in volving the necessity of repairs and renewal at an earlier period than under other circumstances would be the case. In these times, when retrenchment and economy have been rendered imperative, in order to remedy the evils produced by past extravagance, it is of.course_nhyious that so reckless a proceduie could not possibly be encouraged, and the foolish, public must therefore be saved from themselves. Obloquy and ridicule are the natural reward of those who attempt to run counter to the views of the com mon herd, bat what of, that? . True genius and greatness can afford to be temporarily misunderstood, and the Commissioners of Railways " far from the madding crowd," and safe beyond the reach of popular control can complacently smile at its madness. It was, however, perhaps just as well to convince their silly critics that there were "no snakes in Ireland " after all—which is to say, being interpreted, that the demand for facilities for Exhibition traffic was an absurdity, inasmuch as there is no Exhibition traffic to be provided for. That surely is conclusively shown when trains are offered, and nobody, or next to nobody travels by them. Of course after this it will be admitted that the; Commissioners were entirely right and 1 the public entirely wrong, and it is to be hoped that no more silly demands for excursion trains will be heard of. For on Thursday, was not a full dozen of second-class carriages sent down all the, way from Christchurch to Ashburtbn empty 7 Was not the whole space therefore kept available for all the people of the " hub " to go to Dunedin if they so listed. Was not it thought fully provided that for two whole nights out of three they should have the privilege of sitting in healthy compartments, free of cushions and such sybaritic luxuries, and therefore of all enervating surround ings, with the opportunity of two days at the ExhibitioE. and one night's sleep between, and all ior the paltry sum of fifteen shillings per head ? And yet, in the face of all this, is it not also a fact that seventeen adults and three children were all who embraced these opportuni ties at Ashburton. The misguided people of Temuka and Geraldine may, for aught we know have filled up the train, but, if so, surely the fact is to be greatly deplored, as if they have done so it will have militated greatly against the success of what, so far as we could judge from the indications at Ashburton, pre mised to be one of the most satisfactory and conclusive demonstrations of the ability of the managers of our railways to aiapt the means to the end, ■

(Since the above ws written, we have received information by wire that the number of passengers from Geraldine, Orari, Winchester and Temaka was be tween 80 and 100.) ;
