Tjmaru, November 28. IJJohn Brten has been remanded till Monday on a charge of stealing a dozen bottles of spirits from the Club Hotel. He was sent to the Hospital for treat ment from the effocts of enjoyihg his j booty. JL Peculiar Cm*. i; F. H. Yon Schoeneberg, cabinet-maker, charged T. Howley, Clerk of the Court and Registrar of Electors, with endeavor ing to obtain from him £1 by false pretences. Schceneberg applied at the Courthouse for enrolment, and was recog nised by his speech as a foreigner. He was asked if he had been naturalised, and replying "no," was informed he must be," or could not be enrolled. He was given a form, which Howley filled up for him, and told him to go to a J.P. and swear a declaration, and send the form, with £1, to the Colonial Secretary, or he (Howley) would send it for him. Schceneberg could not •spare the £J, and did not proceed. Ho subsequently learned the fee vma only 2s 6d, and concluded that Howlsy had tried'to cheat him. Defendant explained that as the fee used to be £1, and an there had been no case of recent years, he had forgotten the law was amended. The Bench reprimanded the informant for his action, and dismissed the case. Wvlliartoa t:riiM»n«l M«iwf©i»«. Wklungton, November 28.

The Firm of Baring Brothers.

The founder of 'the house of Baring Bros., which is one of the greatest commercial houses in the -world,'was John Baring, a German, who settled in a small business in Exeter, England, in the first half of the eighteenth cen tury. Two of his sons, Francis and Johnj established in London in 1.7.70 the present house, Francis beoaine a director of the East India .Company, and being a staunch supporter of Hti, was created a baronet by that minister in 1793. Hetook an active part in the discussions relative to the Bank Restriction Act of 1797. Sir Thotnas Baring, son of Sir Francis Baring, was born June 12, 1772, jmc ceeded his father in the bp.ro netcy. He appears to have taken Ino active part in the business of the nrm, being chiefly remarkable a* an admirer and encourager of art. His magnificent collection of paintings was dispersed by public sale after his death in .April 1848. Alexander Baring, a younger son of Sir Francis Baring, was ' for many years commercially engaged in the United States and Canada in the service of the great London House founded by his father. On the death of the latter in 1810 he became ;the head of the firm of Baring Brothers and Co., and in 1812 was elected s for Taunton. He was a member of one of Sir E- Peel's Governments, and was createdßaron Ashburton in April, 1835. He died in 1864, after filling many high offices. Sir Francis Thornhill Bar ing, son of Sir Thomas, was a member of various Whig Administrations, and was created Baron Northbrook in 1866 and died the same year. His son is the present Lord Northbrook. Thomas Baring, brother of the first Lord North brook, born in 1800, devoted himself; io commercial pursuits, and also to politics, taking the opposition side to his brother. He was, however, much more widely known as a.partner of the firm of Baring Brothers than as a politician. He died in November, 1873. The firm is engaged to a large extent in the negotiation of national loans, in exchange and money broking* in the produce trade, home and colonial, and in importation and ex portation from and to foreign coun tries. .

THE ELECTIONS.

MR BROWN AT THE HINDS.

Mr Brown addressed a meeting of t^ie electors at the Hinds en Wednesday evening The attendance wast small, about twenty.ftye being present, Mr McDowell decupled the chair, and briefly introduced the candidate. Mr Brown strongly {supported the principle of graduated taxation, as now established in the £500 exemption, and the Deceased Estates Duties Act. To suppose that a poor man would be benefited by having his cjuarter acre section taxed was the height of nonsense. He said he was afraid the country would be compelled to submit to increased taxation, and asked were we to have the primage duty again imposed, and sugared over, with the tale that the money was wanted for school' huildingso He.'utrongly, objected to this, and also to any increase in the Customs tariff. He advocated the raising of additional revenue froju the overgrown estates—as in Victoria —and. at tho same time discouraging land speculation on a large scale. He com plained of howprimiiry education was being neglected, while the children of well-tp-i?.,, people were being educated at great ex pense to the State in our secondary schboli. Having answered a number ofj questions, a hearty vote of thanks, on tho I

motion of Mr Horsey, was accorded the speaker, and the usual vote of thanks the chair closed the meeting.

WAS IT PROVIDENCE OR ACCIDENT?

Did the finding of that article stive the man's life ? That is the question. Is there a divinity that shapes our ends ? or are events but a mere series, of accidents which' may^ happen to one person as well as another. Are the experiences that compose our lives links in a chain, or loose grains of sand ? As you answer these questions, as you take the one side or the otheH sols your faith ; you are i materialist or a believer in Providence. We now propose to relate a story in illus tration of this problem which may have some effect in arousing those who have always thought themselves the subject of blind chance. 'The following facts are fully vouched for, and resemble occur rences in the lives of multitudes Several years ago Griffith .Tones was a policeman at Holyhead, Wales. He had a family consisting of a wife and five young children to take care of. Holy head is on St. George's (or the Irish) Channel, and is open'to terrific gales that so often gather on those dangerous waters and beat with violence opon the coast. Jones' " post "or " beat extended back into the country, over bleak, wind-bwept hills. He had to walk through this region in all weathers, day or night. He was often out in winter nights, in cold and darkness, exposed to the storms that drive in from the sea. At such times the wife listened to the rattling .windows, and prayed that the husband and father might take no harm in the wild tempest. This was hard lines, but in the family (though they were poor -enough)' th<sre was still health and comparative comfort. But in a bad storm the policeman caught a heavy cold. Home remedies failed to cure it, and the officer sent to his old physician at A berflfraw for medicine It did no good. Jones' right side grew ''queer" and painful. The doctor said it was the liver, arid he was right; but correct opinions don't cure disease. He head troubled him, too, and he was ofted so giddy he could hardly walk. 'I am so tired and weary," he would" say, "I don't know what makes me. I try to rost and sleep, but get up just as dead tired as when I go to bed. ' Thou worse came. He sat down to his table, but revolted from his food ; appetite was gone, There was a curious feeling at the stomach; it was cold, dull, and miserably, like: a furnace which contains nothing but ashes and cinders. A nasty and nauseous kind of gas: or wind came up into his throat, like the effluvia from a tomb. His wife! called his attontion to the ghastly yellow colour of his eyes and skin, and once in a while he would have a spell of palpitation of the heart that made him afraid of falling dead—perhaps in some lonely place. >: - ; In spite of it all, however, Policeman Jones kept on duty asmUcn as ever lie could. Of course. So would any honest plucky man. But Jhe- slept fitfully,, with bad dreams. He cried out «ometii«t v 8 with ; the terror of them, and the frightened children - said, "Ih papa , going. to die?" He was, and is, one of the most patient and loving of men, yet now he was cross and surly to his family, Then something new developed. There came a pain under his left shoulder blade.;; his wrists- and knees grew swollen and-painful; thjs w*te rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, by the undigested and fermented food having poisoned the blood. Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are merely symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. The policeman now fel he must give up, and, if he did, then what He could foresee nothing Hit destitution Now we"como to the event which sug gested the question with which this short history begins ; Was it an accident or was it a link in a saving chain < Enter ing the Holyhead station house- on. day,, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, he saw a little pamphlet under the table. He picked it up and began to read it., In a few moments his mind was rivetted upon its pages. In clear, plain language he found his own case fully described, just as though the book had been written for him and for him alone. It named a cure for all his ailments, .1 medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The plain honesty of the statements won his "confidence. He procured half-a-dozen bottles through Mr Henry Wilson, of the Drug Hall, Holyhead, Taking it he began to improve, and all his aches and pains vanished ih a few weeks. This was Auguet, , 1879. Ten years have parsed, but not a sign or symptoh of hia ailment has returned,. Mr Jones entered upon a more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes he spreads the fame of Seigel's Syrup, and insists that the glimpse of the book on the table settled the point as to whether he should go under the sod or be the strong new man he has been ever since
