determining between right and wrong, but by the consideration whether they sit on the s%me bench as Sir Harry Wriggler or Lord Twistfaots. If the practical training of the moral sentiments be neglected in the masses such spectacles may result as were seen at Rome, where, although intellectual education was not neglected, yet Pompey slaughtered five hundred lions j and Trajan eleven thou sand wild beasts, and five thousand gladiators to glut the public taste for blood. If the education of the intellect be neglected, men may be very patriotic, as the Spartans were, but they will not enjoy .'the highest pleasure possible to man, the possession of »n educated mind, that can calculate the position o f a star ; thg date of the next eclipse ; and under stand 'the general operations of nature. A complete system of education will fit its subject to successfully follow the occupation or trade of his choice, and will further place within his reach the means of enjoying the true pleasures to be derived from contemplating and under standing Nature and her operations.

FOOTBALL.

ASHBURTON V. WAIHI.

On Saturday a match was played by the above teams at the Domain, and a most exciting game resulted in favor of the local representative! by three tries and ©no goal (nine points), to one try and one penalty goal (five points). Throughout the match play was kept almost wholly amongst the forwards, scrimmaging and free kicks being the order of the day, rendering the game less interesting from a spectator's point of view. If passing had been mora generally practiced it i» probable the scores would have been materially altered. It would be more satisfactory also, were the referee in a match selected and his services made sure of some time before the date of the match, and thus avoid the awkwardness of having to pick up any rough and ready make-shift who may happen to be on the ground, and is willing to discharge the duties. During the first spell the play 'was very even, thongh Waihi scored a penalty goal almost directly aftsr the kick off, being awarded a free kick through off side play. The Ashburton forwards carried the ball inta their op ponents' twenty-five, and Wilson taking a. good pass from Matson, crossed the line. The try, however, was disallowed. To wards the end of this spell the Ashburton forwards by continuous rushes kept the ball in the twenty-five, enabling both Baird and Cromie in turn to cross the lino. Tn both cases Moses essayed the kicks but just failed to convert. In the beginning of the second spell Upton, wno j was playing splendidly, secured the ball and after a fine dodgy run right through ! the opposing backs touched down, but this try was also disallowed. Then for a short spell Waihi had the local men on the defensive, and the ball being kicked i over the line was very smartly touched down by ©pie (Waihi). This reverse, put the Ashburton team on their mettle and the remainder of the spell was all in their favor. A good run joy Upton and a fine pass well taken by Wilson enabled the latter player to score a try, which j Simpson converted just before time was called. For the winners, H, Curtis, full back, was very safe; Wilson, at three quarters, made some very serviceable runs ; Upton, at half-back, played a fine dashing game; and Moses, also half back, was always on the ball. Amongst a good lot of forwards, Cow (captain). Baird, and Pauling were the most conspicuous. For War hi, Moore, at full-back, was very good, kicking and collaring splendidly j whilst J. Moore and A. Shallard, at three quarters, played a good game. F. Shallard (captain) was aiirafc-class forward, where Stewart and Hart also played well. Mr Rice officiated as referee, and Messrs South and Healy as touch line umpires. After the match the visitors were enter tained at dinner at Mrs Banger's, by the Ashburton team, who afterwards accom panied them to the station, cheering them heartily on their departure.

ASHBURTON 11. V. PLEASANT POINT.

The match between the Ashburton second fifteen and Pleasani Poinb waa played at Winchester on Saturday, and was woii bjr the Pleasant Point team by thirty-two point* to nil. Ashburton played with only ten men.

On Saturday evening a meeting of the Committee of the Ashburton Football Club was held in Messrs Fooks' office. There were eight members present, and Mr Cow occupied the chair. The Secre tary read a letter from the Rakaia Foot ball Club, asking if a match could be arranged between the first and second or the second and third fifteens, of Rakaia and Ashburton respectively on May 24, The Secretary was instructed to reply that the second fifteen were already engaged for that date, and that they were unable to put a third on the field. A notice was received from the Domain Board, giving the Club permission to charge for admission on May 24. It was decided to suggest the name of Mr Cox as referee on May 24. The following were elected a sub-committee to arrange the respective times and other details in connection with the matches on Maj 24— Messrs Cow, Cromje, Fuoks, and Wilson. The meeting then adjourned.

The post mortem Bhowed the cause of death to have been degeneration of the heart. Deceased was a pensioner of the hospital, receiving 2s per week. The medical officer said deceased took 30 grains of morphia as a dose, but did not get it at the hospital. The dispenser deposed to ttivine 13* grains of morphia to deceased in two days, at the medical officer's order. The jury expressed surprise that a man With 2s a week could obtain morphia so dasily in such large quantities The doctor thought he got it from friends. Another witness said the deceased did not buy it in the city. Two witnesses called weteout of town.

EXCURSION FARES TO CHRIST CHURCH.

TO THE EDITOR. I Sir,—Can you explain how it comes that the railway authorities grant the boon of excursion fares to Christchurch for the purpose of visiting a circus, and refuse such a request to those who want to see the great A. and P. show at Adding ton ? Can it be that the Commissioner* are in this action unwittingly giving us the measure of their own intellectual i opacity? If the A. and P Association could f-iko up a circus in connect on with their Show in November next, I expect the authorities would grant us excursion rates without demur.—i am, etc., ' Wiijjam Scott.

[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wellington, May 15. A meeting recently held of the Welling ton branch of the New Zealand Medical Association, attended by seventeen, passed a resolution that the accounts which had appeared in the daily papers of Mr Balance's illness and of the operation were incorrect, and the mee'.ing was of opinion that the illness, which was malig nant stricture of the bowels, was ade quately dealt with, but the patient had not strength to rally from the shock. They considered that the post mortem showed that the position selected for an artificial opening was the beat that could have been chosen. A fire occurred in Smart's stables at Lower Hutt yesterday, by which three hack racers—Traitress, Heath, and Donald Dinnie—were burnt to death. There was only a boy sleeping on the premises, and the origin of the fire is unknown. The architect's estimate for the furnish ing and proper rent ilation of the House of Representatives is £650 to £750, includ ing the construction of a basement under the chamber to contain a fan, driven by a gas engine, and a regulator for *he intro duction of fresh air, and various altera tions on doors and other details. . Arrived, at 10 a.m., the Wakatipu from Sydney. Afc 11.30 a.m. on May 9, about fifty mile? from bydney Fle&ds, a steerage passenger named Chas, Abernethy jumped overboard. Buoys were thrown to hi>n, a boat lowered, end a thorough search made, but no sign of him was seen. After waiting two hours the vessel pro ceeded. Abernethy had a wife aboard She stated he had all his money on him, thus leaving her destitute. A collection was mado on her b.-half realising a good sura. A boy named Staveley was unconscious for eighteen hours, the result of eating the seed 3 of the prickly pear.

The Factory Act.

PER PRBBS ASSOCIATION. Auckland, May 13. Several cases of breaches of the Factory Act were heard at the PoTiee Court to-day. Joseph Erkmon was fined 5a for not paying wages to girls for Easter Monday. A technical point raised for the defence, that the Act was defective in not specifying the day on which such wages should be paid, was ov«r-ruled. John Van Breda, charged, with not paying wages on Good Friday and Easter Monday, was also fined 5s and costst The evidence showed chat the girls were dismissed on Thursday after noon and re-employed on the following Tue&day. Counsel for the defence at gued the employers' right to dismiss at any time. l)r Giles said the clause might be interpreted so as to make the Act un workable. George Powley was similarly charged, but the case was dismissed, as the factory had been closed and a new factory opened during the Easter holidays.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, produce* of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken Our Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, m per information forwarded to uh through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated^ with oxygen and freed of acids, reßinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. (Sander and Son*' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Molntire,. Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, isthe only extract corresponding to scientific tests,'anil the only one which j possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. There so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1. By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through itß surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence si acids. 3. By their taste, the result o: the contracting tendency of resins and tannatei. If these crude oils, or so called eucalypti extracts arc applied by mistake in cases of. croup, bronchitis, dipfeheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. Ifor safety sake ask always for Sander and Son**' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Au»twlia—»*»ud«r and «o»H
