The Lady Mayor.

THE COUNCIL CHAMBER CLEARED BY THE POLICE.

Auckland, May 23 The adjourned meeting of theOnehunga Borough Council was held last evening. The postponement-, caused a larger attend ance even than on Monday night. Before the meeting opened a dense crowd as sembled in front of the building and on the staircase leading to the Council room. When the lady mayor, Mrs Yates, arrived, she ordered the police to clear the crowd out, saying that it would be impossible to transact business with such a crowd present. The police accordingly cleared the staircase of over one hundred spectators, mostly young fellows, hustled them into the street ana locked the front door on them. The Council then pro ceeded to business, which related chiefly to «unitary questions. Several letters protesting against the action of the Council in taking up drains were referred to a committee. The Council desired to spend ten guineas on an analysis of the water Bupply from the local springs, in order to prove its parity or otherwise. Several altercations between the Mayor and Councillors took place, in which Mrs Yates invariably had her own way.

A Stiff Passenger.

Bulletin. A Chinaman died recently at A rrowfcown (M.L.), a lonesome township on the uttar most rim of nowhere, and for certain family reasons it was necessary to send his remains to Dunedin for burial. So two cf his countrymen interviewed the nearest railway authority, and found, to their horror, that the freight on the corpse would be £6. Then there was an excited meeting in Chinatown, and the consensus ef opinion was that the proposed charge was too muohee. The stationmaster was Interviewed again to see if he would take the late Ah Sin as fish or agricultural' produce, but he was obdurate. After that there were more consultations, and presently a great idea rose in Chinatown, and was straightaway put into execution. The deceased was dressed up in the habil menta which he wore while still alive, and was set up in a buggy between two of his '■ countrymen and driven to the railway. Arrived there his hat was slonched over his eyes, and he was shouldered into a carriage by his twin supporters who ex plained briefly that ho was welly sick. And so the corpse travelled all the way to Dunedin on an ordinary ticket, sitting up grim and silent between his two friends, who propped up his head every time it bobbed forward; and when he arrived at his destination he was helped into a cab and driven away. This par. ia intended for the gratification of anybody who re members travelling in that railway car riage with three Chows, and who may chance to recall the profoundly reticent attitude of the Chow in the centre.

The Modern Greek.

Pall Mall Budget. The modem Greek says he ia the lineal descendant; and heir of the ancient Greek, but he is not. He may be divided into two claßses : such examples of him as look like the Yonng A polio, and such as do not. Those of the laster class, which is very far the larger, look, for the most part, like the Impenitent Thief. The dress of the modern Greek is a number of short white petticoats not unlike those worn by a fairy in the ballet, only in some cases less clean. To call him dirty, however, as some travellers have done, is most unjust. A chimney-sweep is dirty at the close of bis day's work. But with themodern Greek dirt is Jess acustom than an immemorial tradition. The first cases of him seen by the traveller (supposing him to approach the country from that side) are in Messenia. This fact has suggested to an antiquary that at the disastrous close of the first Messenian war in 735 b c. the Messeniana bound themselves by a great oath that until they had washed out that disgrace they would wash nothing. That oath they have faithfully kept, and nowib is unlikely ever fco be either terminated or broken. The modern Greek does not work. There are, it is trne, working men : they are needed for demonstrations of the un employed—but they do not work. In the same paradoxical spirit It may be said that the principal industry of the country is idleness. But lor the convenience of the gazetteer it is officially given out that the nation is engaged in commew- mainly in currants. Besides thii j there is a brisk trade in justice in many parts of the country, while the Inhabitants of some seaport towns devote tbeir energies to blacking one another's boots in the princi pal streets, Such are the industries of modem Greece. Ifc Is to be observed, however, that although the modern Greek never works he has an unequalled natural aptitude for looking as if he were Just thinking ifc almost time to begin to work. Although inactive, he is enterprising. The race is very widely spread ] indeed, the only place near Greece where you may not expect to find Greeks is the post of duty. Even here the modern Greek has been noticed more than once, but he was almost invariably just stepping off a moment to light a cigarette. When he is not about to light a cigarette he is always smoking one, except whem his neighbour's tobacco gives ©ut. He is not always drinking-a fact which may be ascribed more tp the charac ter of his native wines than tp his native iobriety—though he can seldom spare the time to leave the wine shop, but fills in the interval trying to induce his neighbor to buy him wine to drink. It is probably the national devotion to the cigarette to which we may attribute the characteristic architectural stylei of modern Greece. The common feature of »U these is their rough, bold, incompleteness. To the inexperienced eye the building looks as if it were tumbling down j but this is not the true explanation. Plainly, the house was half built, when the master-builder stepped away to get a light and forgot to rsturn. In agriculture the modern Greek j does not excel. It is thought by sodo- j legists that the land was bo ravaged by the end of the Peloponnesian war (404 b c.) that the Greek became dispiated, and has not planted anything since. Certainly jt would be imposible to ravage the land now. Thus cat off from his traditional military exploit, the modern Greek is but anindik ferant soldier. But it is to be remembered that it is now hardly over fifty years since he freed himself (acting through the fleets of England, France and Russia) from the brutal domination of the Turks. Doubtless in a century or two he will have advanced inora than one step on the road to rejuvenescent prosperity. The per petual Invention of new labor-saving machines, is of tl^e happiest augury for his future civilisation. It should be said, moreover, that there is in the islands a town with a large square, and a fine Bub-tropical plant in the middle. It contains public buildings partly finished, &nd eight or nine drinking shops, b,P#es » statue of a patriot in pallei Hfuley-T-nfl dpubt in affectionate rpcqgnition of his tenacity of purpose. Ifce square is called the Place of the Resurgent Hellas, but it is very many time? too large for it. Thfl modern Greek woman differs in several important points from the modern Greek man. fehe sometimes works, and not seldom, in early youth, looks unlike an habitual criminal. It must not be thought, however, as some have done» that she goes as far as ever to tell the truth.

The Harper Case.

Wellington, May 23 ! Ihe hearing of th.* application, made I on behalf of the Canterbury District Liw Society, *o strike the name of George Harper off the rolls, began at half-past two o'clock to day in the Court of Appeal. The judges sitting are the Chief .lustiee, and Judges Richmond, Denniston, and Connolly. Judge Williams could not have sat, as he will probaHy have to leave before the ca^e^an be finished, and it is understood also that he considers he ought not to sic for personal reasons Mjasrs Fiaher and Stringer are appearing for the Canterbury Law Society, and tfir Robert Stout and Me srs Bell and Wild ing for Mr Harper. The proceeding is in the nature of a rule obtained against Mi- Harper to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls, and counsel for Mr Harper are being first heard. In opening the case Sir Robert Stout cited a passage from Baoon's Abridgement to the effect that the Court will only strike off the rolls for ill practice) tending to fraud or corruption, and will not easily , acfc for anything which appears to be due rather to neglect or accident than to de sign ; and he should show that as far as Mr Hprper was concerned nothing more fchan negligence could be charged against him. Ever since the admission of Mr Harper to the firm ot Harper and Com pany in 187&, the firm had practically carried on three separate businesses in one office—6rst, common law business, under the control and management of Mr George Harper; secondly, conveyancing business, under the control of Mr T. A. Maude; ard thirdly, financial, investment, and agency business, which was practically banking business, under the control and management of Mr Leonard Harper. The difficulties of the firm were connected solely with the financial branch of the business, controlled by Leonard Harper. The firm had been unable to repay large sums of money entrusted to them for Investment, or lent to the firm under engagements to pay interest at a fixed rate. The liabili ties had practically arisen from the firm having advanced money on insufficient securities. This branch of the business had been carried on by a separate staff, with separate letter books, separate ac count books, and separate balance sheets ; and had been kept entirely distinct from the conveyancing and common law busi ness carried on by Messrs Maude and George Harper respectively. So far as the common law branch of tbe business, which was managed by George Harper, was concerned, no complaint whatever ! had been made by anyone. It had been conducted in a proper and honorable manner. George Harper's time had been completely occupied With his own special work, and it was impossible that he could attempt to control the^'branch of business which was managed by his brother. It would be said that in, 1883 he had be come aware that there was something wrong with the finances of the firm, but his affidavit showed he had no reason then to think that there was anything more than temporary difficulty. As to the point that George Harper and T. A. Maude opened a separate account at the bank and afterwards d sed it, Sir Robert Stouk contended it was of no advantage to anyone to keep that account opan. It,was simply the investmentaccountofthe office. Sir Robert Stout argued it was not till 1891 that George Harper knew the firm was in difficulties. It might be said that he should then have filed a petition in bankruptcy, but that was no reason why a m*n should be disbarred. He miv>ht be liable under the Bankruptcy Act because he did not file sooner, but that was not sufficient pround to disrobe. As to signing certain documents to the Union Bank, Pir Robert Stout urg.d. that George Harper had no intention to com mit fraud, the fact being that he had attached his signature without making enquiries as to the character of the docu ment, placing as he did full reliance on the other members of the ilrm. In a large firm like the one in question it was impossible for any member of it to carry in hia head all the properties hold on mortgage by the firm, and in transferring the securities in question from himself to the Union Bank George Harper had no fraudulent intent. The affidavits also showed that when he had found out the purport of the documents, he had gone to the persons interested and made a full explanation. Sir Robert Stout submitted thip was not a case that came within the cases in the books, AU tl^flo Pases showed that there must be some iraud or bad practice before removal from the rolls could he made, hut neglect was not sufficient ground. Neglect, and too great trustfulness in the honesty of his partners, were all that George Harper could be charged with. Counsel then procfieded to cite several cases In support of his contention that before an attorney could be struck off the rolls there must be clear proof thaj; hri lalmsetf »wasj guilty af fraud. In conclusion he urged that; ff George Harper had! not beea guilty personally of dishonesty or fraud, he ought not to be punished, A large number of affidavits had been filed "in the casej frequent"reference to which was made in the coarse of Sir Robert Stout's address. After some hesitancy on the part of their Honors, it was agreed to hear evidence in support of defendant's ease, and at iAfy p.m.. the ©curt adjourned till 40.30 nest morning.

IMPERIAL POLITICS

lokdon, May 22. The Eight Hon. John Morley, ad dressing a meeting at Newcastle, said that the Marquis of Salisbury and Lord Rosebery having failed to carry out reform of the House of Lords, steps must be taken forthwith to strictly limit the power of veto of that Chamber.

The agents of the Health Tea report that since the introduction of these w hoi some and palatable blends, sales have increased by leaps and bounds, and that the demind before Easter was so great that they were unable to supply all orders. The Health Tea haa now been introduced into all the districts of New Zealand as well as in all the Australian colonies, and has taken the public by storm. The success has been an unparalleled one. Its wonderful and varied qualities have made the Health Tea a house hold word in all tea-drinking communities, la addition to the quality already estab lished, Mr H. Zander—the local agent-in forms us that the demand for a cheaper Health Tea was so great, that the owners by j special request from merchants have con sented to put up a second quality of this celebrated Tea at 2s per lb, and this has already found as much favor as the previous quality.—Advt. .For the past quarter of a century there has been one continuous flow of letters bearing testimony to the truly wonderful cures effected by Clarke's World-famed Blood i Mixture, the fine3t Blood Purifier that science and medical skill have brought to light. Sufferers from Scrofula, Scurvy, Pad Legs, Skin and Blood Diseases, Pimples and sores of any kind are solicited to give it a trial to test its value. Sold everywhere, at 2a 9d per bottle.
