Notes and Comments

When children are disappointed at! Borne schi aie which they have devised being vetoed by parent or guardian, thpy usMsily frown or milk or aoreech, oj" do aora.tlittg tqually futile, just aa snnjft Danedinites have beeo doing lately, bpoaoae Commodore Winaloe thought proper' to carry out to ihe letter, the orders, 'vhich he h»d received, to ttoaka Tiytt«|tqn his final port of call in New Zealand. To accoae him of i)©rvoa» fear was as paerile as it waa to lose tpmper and vent spleen in his direction. Captain Winsl c had abso lutely nothing to do with the coastal navigation of the Ophir, which w&s.iis temporary charge for this purpose of oar old frieiir! Captain (jhntfi.'lcl, and he h'ii'"4rj. "more pow^r to • order 1. the Ophir ;|o Danedin, than had Mr; Sed don to dpspatoh the Duke on a visit to thr*r**- i'Mi#»ii liaf1iaf *tilnfci*' *«f d - ■ to''have 1 been recently discovered on the borders of lhi» Oongo fore<t, or to'ihp Ohtlofeaw Indians Red t»peism should bear the blame, if bl time there be attach able anywhere j to tamper with official orders ineftns to be superseded, and no man atideret%ndfl thia better than the comparatively yptmg officer whd has risen 8Q rapidly in thjp service, by force of 'therft.' A more dashirij; or able rt«VHJ officer does not walk the deck of uny ship in tfi*l Navy, as those who havf* known th« Commodore fiom boy tO"d c n testify.

Who does no admire pioctt ? real, Aowarlght, dogajfid, persevering British pluck ! Who does admire the Betting at defiance of parental authority, the sarryiog out a wish at any cost, even thtkt of disobedience, by children o toader years 1 The answer to these ia found olo«»«af hand in the Antipodean Edinburgh, Thega yoti»g'r probnten, initeadof being well flog««d, have been landed and placed on a lofty pedestal high above—ie& as say—the returned troopers. If white crawling through ■ope tunnel or in any other* way they hid' ,'come to grief. Wliat .an in digoaDt howl at the parents would have gone abroad. The anxiety and defcresji of thes's: dom not leem to coaat, and it Is assumed that do trouble wai taken to find the tle'loquenta, whereas the* reverse seems to have been the case, although soot until late w*b it supposed that the boys bad travelled towards Dnnedin, That they were not neglected children is tolerably clear, they attended Bchool, and were allowed certain hours of play. Boys wishing to alp Ibe hoaeecable and get * good start ia an unlikely direction, can early do so, with even the most pioaej carefolj and watchfal of guar dians. A3 the matter stands direct sticoaragsnaerit and Roy*l approach has been given to children who may wish to be absent from home without leave. The plick of the boys is ad mirablej the heairtleßs disrespect abom iiaable

Bravo ! The volunteers in general. Bravo, • Buckley's Horse ' ml particu lar. Who that can remember the first grand review of velunceera in 1860, when in Hyde Park, London, thpy shoffl'td, and wobbled past the saluting point, amidst derisive laughter, and shouts of * Who shot the dog ' won'd h%ve dreamed that in a few years th*» British volunteers would make the mark in history, which he haa made to day f Not ouly in En gland but in the moss distant parts of tbe Empire. They have not come to the front throogh any Government encourage ment in the stein battle they have fought with official laxity and npglpc', pverywherp, but by those qualities, which have carried them so bravely through when* the opportunity c»*rne for th«ir display

This Oomman *der ©f the corps with the excellent tact and judgment vhich go so far towards making a perfect officer, knows bow to Instill in that esprit de corps, which provokes emulation* It is in the units! as well as in the unity of the corps, and i th® attention to small deUi's, that the Oaptain lakes interest, snd by doing so has so endeared himself to the men, that boi; one of them will absent him* Self from camps, drills, parades, or rifle competitions if he can possibly attend, because he knows it is the wish of his Capb&in that he should be there This ia the feeling which volun teer officers should strive to promul gatp, instead of—as is unfortunately j too often sesn.
