School Committee. Owing to the ratepayers’ meeting on Tuesday the School Committee did not meet, and arrange ments were made for holding the meeting last night, but only Messrs. St. Hill and Bradley appeared, and the meeting lapsed for want of a quorum. The Weather. —To-day has been fine with a bright sunshine and healthy breeze. The weather, after the recent wet, is very favorable to the farmers, and the excellent seed time is being extensively taken ad vantage of. The land is in fine condition, and there is every prospect that, notwith standing the experience of last year, there will be as large an acreage under crop as there has ever been in any previous season, thus showing that the settlers’ faith in the plains is as strong as ever. Lecture. —What promises to be interesting lecture will be delivered to morrow evening in the Primitive Metho dist Church, Wills-street. The subject is “Four Years on the Pacific Coast of America,” and the lecturer is Mr. J. Johns, recently from California. We feel justified in guaranteeing to the public a really pleasant evening in listening to Mr. Johns’ reminiscences of his four years’ sojourn on the shores of the Pacific. ■

The Burgess Roll. —We would remind those interested, that the burgess roll lies for inspection, till the 15th instant, at the Town Clerk’s Office, and all objec tions must be handed in in writing to the Town Clerk on or before the 15th. The Orangemen. —The Orangemen in

the district will celebrate the Battle of the Boyne on Saturday evening by a dinner in their lodge-room, Saunders’ Buildings.

Revival Services. —A week’s revival services will commence in the Primitive Methodist Church on Sunday first. Preaching will commence each evening at 7 p.m.

The New Zealand Magazine. —This is the title of a new musical periodical (pub lished by G. R. West, Dunedin), the first number of which has reached us. It con tains twelve pieces—popular songs, new and old, sentimental and comic ; a duet entitled “ We are two Roving Minstrels;’’ and a polka by a Dunedin composer. Amongst the newer songs is to be found, “ Grandfather’s Clock,” now so popular. The price of the magazine is only a shil ling, and if the future numbers are as attractive as the specimen before us it will surely make its way with the public. The “ Camel-Backs.” —The unsightly humps left on the streets along the line of the gas mains are now being levelled, and will shortly be completely removed.

Tenders. —Tenders are now invited for the erection of a house for the secretai y to the Ashburton County Council. The building will be put up on a site in Baring Square, and the plans may be seen at Mr. Stanley Bruce’s offices, until Thursday, the 17th.. After that date they will lie for inspection at the offices of the Christ church City Council. Legal Depositions.. —The pararraph we published yesterday, shifting the blame of drawing up slovenly depositions from the R. M. Couio to that of the coroner is calculated to make the coroner, Dr. Trevor, appear in an unfavorable light. Inquiry shows that the depositions sent down to the Supreme Court in Hamilton’s case were never intended by the coroner to be used in that way, but were simply rough notes written out by Dr. Tervor in order to give the Resident Magistrate an idea of the evidence taken at the inquest on the fire. The R. M. Court should have prepared its own depositions, or properly copied those sent to it by the 'coroner. It is only just to state, however, that Hampton wr.s committed by Mr. A. LeGrand Campbell, and this fact stated is sufficient comment.

LAST NIGHT’S CABLEGRAMS.

AUSTRALIAN.

( Reuter's Telegrams.)

Sydney, July 9.

The Legislative Council rejected the Hon. Sir John Robertson’s proposed clause in the Land Bill, and in conse quence the measure dropped.

In the course of a debate in the Le gislative Assembly last night, the Pre mier stated his intention to submit a motion in reference to the action of the Council on the Land Bill. The Premier has tabied a series of resolutions against the Council’s re peated rejection of the Assembly’s care fully considered measures, recommend ing the introduction of a Bill to make the Council responsible to the people. The Treasurer has submitted a pro posal for a further loan of £7,787,768 for railways, water supply, and sewerage. It will not be placed on the market for some time. Arrived—Mail steamer City of New York, from Auckland. Adelaide wheat is active.

A writ for damages has been issued against Dr. Beany for slander, by the Daily. Telegiaph , for saying that journal was subsidised by the Victorian Association.

Weiberg was committed for trial

SYSTEM.

Every young housekeeper who sits down and seriously studies out the subject will find herself a different being if she manages her affairs with system, or if she lets them manage her without it. It is true that before she is married, or while she is boarding, all hhr study on the subject will be theoretical, and possibly somewhat im practical, and something like the house one builds and is - enchanted with tilh coming to live in it. For there are things that only experience can teach, and in matters where the experience of. nobody else can be of any material service. If her mother was a woman of system, the young housekeeper already has much of what she wants bred in her bone, as one may say. But if her mother was an invalid, or was shiftless and thriftless, was overwhelmed with troubles and babies, then the daughter has to strike out a path for herself. The sooner, then, that she remembers that there are but seven days in the week, and that that period of time constitutes one revolution of the household, washing day being the central sun, and baking day and sweep ing day being, as it were, planetary affairs, but exerting tidal influences, the sooner she will come into .her kingdom and reign undisturbed . by. her people. Custom fortunately fixes one day .of seven for washing day in this land, although in some lands across the sea tha fearful epoch arrives,: with i a fifty times multiplied power, but once or twice a year, with an importation of white : capped women into the family to celebrate its rites through an unnamed period till all is over. And washing day being fixed, of course ironing day is its most immediate satellite. If, for the rest, the young housekeeper makes up her mind that one day shall never infringe upon the orbit of another, that baking day shall be a fixed feast, and sweeping day an immovable feast, that the silver and the closets shall now and for ever be cleaned upon their own day and no other, there will be a code established that will keep things straight as long as she lives and rules her house. He work will roll off her hands, if she does if herself, with half the wear of body and soul that it usually takes; and if she has servants, she may fall sick, she may go away, she may have a score of distractions or of other occu pations—the house will never show it; and whether, like- the good woman of the Proverbs, strength and honour are her clothing or not, she will certainly “rejoice in time to come.”— Dfarper.

A GHASTLY GRAVEYARD SCENE IN IRELAND.

The Freeman's Journal gives a long and graphic description of the present condition of Killester churchyard, near Dublin, It appears that in 1877 the Local Government Board officially closed the place as one, from a sanitary point of view, : unfit for use. The fol lowing description by the Freeman's correspondent will show how far this order has been neglected, and the ter rible consequences : —Presumably for the better enforcement of the order, the gate leading from the road to the churchyard has been recently removed, and the space s walled. up with solid masonry. But without the intention of “ knowingly, or unknowingly ” being guilty of a burial, a : person may be tempted to cross the wall into the old closed churchyard. . The scene within might well shock the strongest nerves. The whole place: is -strewn with: frag ments of decaying mortality. The first object that meets the eye just inside the disused entrance is a coffin of dark polished wood—a child’s coffin, mani festly, by . its size. Jt, is almost new. The varnish is still ' fresh upon the wood; the heads of the screws that fasten the lid are unrustedi There has been no interment—no pretence of an interment. .The coffin lies, as it has been laid, on the surface of : the' earth ; and how it came there,' and when, is certainly a mystery that demands solu tion. No criminal would thus expose the,body, of the victim; no parent or friend would surely be satisfied with such maimed funeral rights—would let the body of a chfid ije and rot like a dog over-ground, But this coffin, though the strongest, is not the only or the most revolting spectacle the place con tains. It is a very small churchyard, scarce an acre in extent, sunk down between four high walls, and littered with white, unhealthy elder bushes and rank weeds; It is truely a gruesome; place in the grey twilight. From a large garden across the road comes the cheery piping of the redbreast and the shrill notes of -the throstle cutting the still air, but within the precints of the churchyard it is as silent as though it were one great grave. Within the ruins family burying places were evidently, in the old times, preserved. There is a

broad headstone on which the date of October 16, 1875, is inscribed, which tells that Peter Byrne, Eleanor Byrne, husband and wife, Rev. P. PI. Byrne, arid Peter Byihe, brothers, all lie in terred in the grave at its foot. But all over the grave where they lie is stuck with rude- wooden sticks to mark new interments, and show how little the sanctity of their repose has been re spected. Perhaps the most pitiable spectacle are'scattered fragments of mouldering coffins and discolored bones. Bits of broken tombstones and battered coffin plates are littered in all directions. Some of the coffins are a few inches above the surface, others lie? level with the ground. The lids in many cases have been wrenched off with apparent violence—how, it is needless to enquire—and the open coffins are so many little,bits of festering coiruption. The horrors are too horrible to detail. The whole scene is one of unutterable wildness and desolation. In the centre of the graveyard there is ■ a small, religious ruin, whose broad round arches would seem to speak great antiquity. It is muffled in thick ivy, and in this place of horrors is one poor grave which love has attempted to beautify. It is framed in with sticks and rough stones, and on the brown earth over the grave a few sickly flowers are withering in the unwholesome air. Of cource, now that public attention is directed to the con dition of the graveyard the sanitary authorities —they of the North Dublin Union—will take immediate steps for the decent interment of the dead, and for the prevention of the recurrence of the horrible profanations that have been described.

NEWS AND NOTES.

Oliver Wendel Holmes has the fol lowing to say about music “ I don’t like your chopped music any way. That woman—she had more sense in her little finger than forty medical so cieties—Florence Nightingale says that the music you pour out is good for sick folk, and the music you pound out isn’t. Not that exactly, but something like it. I have been to hear some music-pound ing. It was a young woman with as many white muslin flounces round her as the planet Saturn has rings that did it. She gave the music-stool a twirl or two and fluffed down on it like a whirl of‘soapsuds in a handbasin. ! Then she pushed off her cuffs as if she were going to fight for the champion’s belt. Then she worked her wrists and her hands, to timber ’em, I suppose, and spread out her fingers till they looked as though they would pretty much cover the key board, from the growling end to ‘ the little squeaky one. Then' those two hands of hers made a jump at the keys as if they were a couple of tigers coming down on a flock of black and white sheep, and the piano gave a great howl, as if its tail had been trod on. Dead stop —so still you could hear your hair growing; then another jump and ano ther howl, as' ;if the piano had two tails and you had trod on both of ’em at once, and then a grand clatter and scramble, and strings of jumps back and forward, one hand over the other, like a stampede of rats and mice more than anything like I call music. I like to hear a woman sing, and I like to hear a fiddle sing, but these noises they ham; mer out of their wood and ivory anvils —don’t talk to me, I know the differ ence between a bull-frog and a wood thrush.”

“ Cast thy bread upon the waters,” &c.—The following story is told by the Mandwdtu He/aid of the genial old skipper of the steamer Jane Douglas : “In a large number of, .persons the charitable feelings become frozen be fore the meridian of life is reached, by reason of the imposition and humbug of many suppliants. Not so with Cap tain Fraser, of the Jane Douglas. A few days : ago he arrived in Foxton, having on board a young woman as a passenger, who stated that she had come from Wellington with the inten tion of going as servant at a house in Palmerston,- but. that she had com pletely forgotten the name of her new employer, and was also destitute of money. She stated, however, that she had a sister residing at Bulls, and that if she could reach that township she would be all right,. : Believing her Story,! 1 Captain i; Fraser lent her two pounds, being sufficient to pay her passage to Bulls, and also leaving her a margin of a few shillings when she got there. This was certainly a hazardous game to play, as the young lady was quite a stranger to the skipper. However, whether he is gifted with the powers of a keen physiognomist, or with a spiritualistic power of reading character, we do not know, but cer tainly. the .ybung woman-turned out trumps, for on Captain Fraser’s arrival yesterday he found U Post Office order for the amount advanced awaiting him, it having arrived a few hours after he left on his last trip. ..• A good action of the kind we have mentioned carries its own reward. The character and happi ness of many a young woman has been blasted through being cast adrift in a strange town .without either money or friends.’* . '

The London Grocer confidently an ticipates that twenty years from now Sacramento Valley, California, • will be able to supply the whole of the new continent with tea,' and that America will not only nc t have to send to China for;an ounce, hut they will be .able in the course of time to send large .con-, signments to Europe, and expresses the opinion “ that within our life-time the novelty will not be ‘ American meat/ but in all our grocers’ windows ‘Cali fornian tea/ 6d per lb.”

The Pall Mall Gazette states that the Admiralty have issued regulations that all candidates for the naval service, whether officers, men, boys, or marines,, must produce a certificate that they can swim, or they will be ineligible. Y : Oxford is to follow the example of Cambride in furnishing means for the higher education of women.,; A ladies’ hall is to be established in Oxford, under the superintendence of Miss Wordsworth, who is to be the first lady principal.

A leader of fashion in San Francisco has had her chairs and sofas and the cushions of her carriages stuffed with aromatic herbs, in imitation of a prac tice prevalent among Oriental nations. It need hardly be said that she lives in an atmosphere of constant perfume. The Westport Catholics object to the use of Collier’s History in schools be cause of “ calumnious misstatements of history.” In proof they quote as follows : —Page 140 “To raise funds for’the building (St. Peter’s) Leo X. had sent out monks to sell indulgences. They were invented by Urban 11. in the days of the crusades. ' The people thought that the money paid for these pieces of paper or parchment would buy for them the righteousness of Saints.”' Page 164 “Many held that there were good grounds for this step (the suppression of monasteries), they asserted that the monks generally led dissolute lives, and that many of the monasteries were dens of iniquity.” Page 193 “Before the English Refor mation, crime was fearfully common. In the reign of Plenry VIII. about 2,000 persons were hanged every year for rob bery alone. In the days of Elizabeth,' the number was reduced to tlwee or four hundred a year. This remarkable change was, without doubt, owing to the diffusion of God’s Word among all classes.” Page 204 “ The account of the gunpowder plot, implicating all the Catholics.” Page 22 “In their-princi-. pies and practices the Culdees (followers of Column Kill) offered a vigorous re sistance to the Catholic Church.” Page 74 Thomas A’ Becket, &c., &c.
