God Bless Our Native Isle.

(An Irish National Anthem.)

Ood bless oar native isle ! May heaven's rv u1«,. 0 t t mile Beam on her still! May love of Faith and kind Denote the cation's mind, And every pacing wind Sing peace, goodwill.

May wrong give way to right. And justice reign, nob might, O Lord, we pray ! This be Thy stern command Throughout this bounteous land, Unnerved by Faction'^ hand, Now and alway.

May famine and its ills Ne'er drape her sunny hills la clouds of woe; Bat may the honest toil Of those who till her aoil Its coming always f o £l As on we go.

Thy clemency and love Grant, Lord, the dead who strove To make her free. True and brave to the end When 'twas death to defend. And & crime to befrieHd Resb they with Thee j

God bless onr aative isle 1 May heaven's refulgent smile Beam on her still! May love of Faith and kind Denote the nation's mind, And every passing wind Sing peace, goodwill.

. —M. P, Sheihan. Ballyhussa, Kilmacthomas, Waterford. June 22, 1897.

A NEW TELEPHONE.

I As the time for the introduction of the reduced telephone rates in Victoria ia

drawing near, the postal authorities are preparing for the consequent ex-

pansion of the service. Tenders for the supply of instruments, etc, have already been accepted and tenders for the necessary cabhs are now under consideration. A new feature is to be introduced into the teJephone exchange by the use of the '< head telephone " for i the switch operators, by which their power of inampulatiou is doubled, both hands being set free to handle the plugs. At present the receiver has to be held up to the ear with one hand, while the other hand moves the plug. The c nstant strain of this system is severe, while the operator's working power i 3 greatly reduced, Th« head telephone is an attachment which holds the receiver at one ear by means of a kind of hood, thus giving the girl both her hands for the plugs. Some natural feminine opposition has arisen in the exchange towards this Philistine pro posal to turn a girl into a perfect fright. \ telephone girl equipped in this head gear might well look as though she re quired a surgical instrument to keep her hair ou. The postal authorities are moved by a very proper delicacy in this matter, and the telegraph engineer is bringing all his intellect to work on some experiments with a modified in strument, which, instead of fixing on to the girl's head, will stani on her shoulders, with th'g aid of a little yoke or rest. Each operator will have her own detachable mouthpiece; so there will be less risk of tuberculosis aud hooping cough spreading through the whole exchange. From the feminine point of view, it remains to be seen whether the shoulder gear will look any better than the fixing on the head. So far it is suggestive of a person dressed for execution* by electricity on the American system.

THE MACKENZIE CONCERT.

The benefit concert tendered to Mr William MacKenzie by the Caledonian Society was given last evening to a bumper house, the hall, though nob "taxed to its utmost capacity " waa as fall as it could bold with comfort to the audience. The pro grammes was a liberal one—too liberal, in fact, aa at a quarter to ten the first half of the programme had not been gone through, and it waa past eleven before the second half, considerably reduced by excision, had been completed. The MacKeczia—Glover Company took their fair shhre of the work, and were assisted by Mesdames Claridgc, McLean, and Bowman Fox; Misses Lambie, Tompkins, Kathleen Orr, and Winnie Orr; Messrs the JLaghmor Highlanders, Kcrsel, Horace A. Gates, Bertie Flower, and H. F. Bickerton. Miss Jessie Glover's contributions to the pro gramme were "The amatear rider," and she took part in three duets with Mr MaoKenzie, sioging remarkably well in all three. Mrs Carmichael's song waa the "Bonnets o' blue" ; Miss Jeannie Lair«bie sang " Jessie the fl iwer of Dumb ane," and in response to au encore gave " Within a mile," Mist Kathleen Orr mas in splendid voice and Rave 46Kathleen mavourueen" and "Those eyei of blue," and in the Becond part •• The red, white and blue," which waa vociferously en cored. Miss Tompkina sang feelingly "Bid mo to love," aud was heartily encored, the audience evidently rememberiDg that they were listening to this popular songstress for the last time ia Ashburton. Mrs Donald McLean contributed pianoforte solos and a duet with Mrs Bowman Fox, while Miai Winnie Orr played the accompaniments to her sister's songs, and Mrs Ciaridge played the remainder of the evening for all the rest of the singers, in her usual faultless style. Of the gentlemen singers <Mr MacKenzie himself olaims first notice, his songs " Rocked in the cradle of the deep" and " The Macgregors' gathering" being superior efforts in vocalisation. He waa encored for both, and gave in response "They all love Jack" and "Kate Da;rymple." In his duets with M ias Glover he was also in high feather. Mr Kersal sang " The death of Nelson," Mr Gatea and Mr Bertie Fiower supplying the comlo element to an appreciative audience. The dancers were Master MacKwzle, and Meem Donald McLean, George Morrison, Murdo Macdonald, and E. Suilivan, Mra McLean playing the jigs on the piano and Piper Scott the reels for the Highlanders, A special feature in the programme was the clever exhibition of Indian club swinging by Mr H. F. Bickerton, which was much appreciated, loudly applauded at every change of movemont, and heartily encored, Before closing, Mr Frezzell, for the Ca!e douian Society, thanked the large audience for their attendance, and Mr MacKenzie tendered the thanks of himself and company for the support the Society had received in providing the concert, and made special reference to Mr Frezzeli'a efforts in making the arrangements.
