The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “Evening Echo"). MONDAY, JULY 28, 1879.

There is no man knows better than Sir George Grey the power and Influ ence a good speaker can exercise upon a crowd, and how the power of oratory properly used can raise the popularity of either a man himself or the cause he advocates. We may adduce Sir George’s famous tour round the country last year as an evidence of how successful his oratory was in raising popularity for himself, and the Liberal principles he claimed for his Government. With the applause of that tour still in his ears> and the effect upon the people of his emotional speeches still in his memory, it is not surprising that he should seek to buckram out the existence of his wan ing sway by an appeal to the populace in a similar manner. This is the game he seeks to play in the mass meeting in Wellington of last Thursday—a game he considered high enough to warrant leav ing the House to itself for the time, but which, as it turned out, was far from worth, the candle. He knows he has had his day, and that soon his Govern ment will cease to be, but he will not quit the reins of Government without a struggle. The men who offered him a whole-souled support when he took office are in no sense back-sliders nor traitors because they refuse him their coutinance now? seeing thaj he has so disappointed their hopes, and trampled on the principles which he professed, and which they supported him to ad vance. But according to him they are so, and because they would not be dragged through the mire by him they are denonneed with all the power he is capable of. After a whole year spent n fooling away the people’s time' with an administration characterised by in competency and stupid blundering, he now discovers that it is time to appeal to the people—not in the orthodox fashion of a dissolution —but by means of the formation of so-called Liberal Associations throughout the Colony. How he has succeeded the failure of Thursday night’s meeting is ample indication. If he is wise he will quietly retire from a position the country no fonger considers him qualified to fill, and take his fall with as good a grace as he can, for undoubtedly the no-con fidence vote he has brought upon him self will be passed upon him to-morrow.

The £15,000 -Loan. — The Gazette of Saturday contains the official notification of the Borough’s intention to raise a loan of £15,000. The March oe Intellect. —We strive to keep our intellect abreast of the age, but we find to-day that there is somebody ahead of us, a hugely cleverer man than ourselves. We refer to the intellec tual giant who sent us this afternoon what purports to be a cablegram, and runs as follows 1 “ London, July 26th. Cadogan demurely disquiet Emanuel in grave daculite bearded blessed massive tickle Thesis, Walaheim, weakness, Rodney.” If our readers can make head or tail of this they are welcome to any information contained in it. This is the sort of stuff newspaper men have to unravel cable graphic intelligence from and pay for into the bargain.

Death of Mrs. Montgomery. The wife of Mr. Wm. Montgomery, M.H.R. for Akaroa, died at Park Terrace, on Sunday, at the age of 43. Mr. Mont gomery was telegraphed for to Wellington, and chartered a special steamer from Wellington to Lyttelton, to be near his lady in her serious illness. Mr. Mont gomery' has been singularly unfortunate. This is the third session of Parliament during the sitting of which he has had to charter a steamer to take him home in time to witness the death of one of his family. On the previous occasions we refer to, Mr. Montgomery arrived in time to see the last in life of two of his children.

North Ashburton Road Board. —A meeting of the newly-elected Board was held to-day. Present : Messrs. Winter, E. Saunders, Hugo Friedlander, and D. Wilson. Mr. H. T. Winter was elected Chairman. A statement of the financial affairs of the new Board was submitted, and after examination it was resolved that the members of the Lower Ashburton Board be requested to meet the members of the North Board on Monday, 4th August, with a view to arriving at a satis factory distribution of funds. The mem bers seemed to consider that the similarity of names in Road Boards in the Ashbur ton district would cause confusion., in the future, and it was resolved to petition the County Council to allow the name of the North Ashburton ILoad Board to be changed to the Wakanui Road Board. It was decided to advertise for candidates for the office of Clerk and Surveyor—candi dates to state their own terms.

Arrivals.— Three English ships arrived at Lyttelton on Saturday—the Dochra, Merope, and Orari. The Dochra, a barque, made the passage in 101 days, the Merope in 85, and the Orari in 92. The Dochra brings no passengers, the Merope brings 59, and the Orari eleven saloon, and 288 Government immigrants. Our Member. —Referring to Mr. Geo. Hart, M.H.R. for Coleridge, the Welling ton “ Post,” in. a notice of the changes during the session remarks : Wason, the tall, good-humored youthful looking member for Coleridge, lias been replaced by Mr. George Hart, a gentleman who once occupied a seat in the Provincial Council of Wellington, in its earliest days, and who, if we are to judge from liis elec tion speeches, has not added in any way since to the very slight knowledge of poli tics which he then acquired. His recent utterances have been absolutely childish. Compared with him, Mr. Mason, the re cently-defeated candidate for the Hutt, is a perfect professor of the science of poli tics. Mr. Hart is a brother of the Hon. Robert Hart, and is a thorough Conserva tive, so far as he possesses any clear ideas or convictions at all. ” Native Affairs.— At New Plymouth on Saturday, a public meeting passed resolutions -urging Government to con struct open roads into the native districts, and to retain the constabulary for the protection of the workers ; and to capture Hiroki and Te Whiti and bring them to justice. The meeting also passed resolu tions warning Government of the dangers that threatened from the fanaticism of Te Whiti’s followers.—The Bell Block plough men have been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment in Dunedin gaol. Wiremu Kingi has refused to be bailed out and prefers to remain in durance with liis “ children.’’—The “ Waka Maori” recom mends the natives to arrest Te Whiti and bring him to Wellington. Bad Trade.— -Owing to the dullness of trade there was a reduction of wages 011 Saturday throughout the entire establish ment of Guthrie and Larnach, Dunedin. New Catholic Paper. —The Catholics have started a new weekly paper in Auck land the “ New Zealand Freeman’s Journal.”

A Rough Journey. —Constable Bow den, who is at present in search of Graham Flowers, the escaped prisoner, has arrived at Christchurch, after travelling overland from Greymouth. He put in the time of the heavy snow-storm that commenced on Saturday week, in the ranges, crossing the Hurunui saddle on foot, and camping out with only one blanket. He had to keep himself awake lest he should get frostbitten, so that his journey through the snow was just as dangerous as it was otherwise unpleasant.

COUNTY COUNCIL TENDERS.

To the Editor of The Ashburton Herald.

Sir, — In perusing your valuable columns, I notice that tenders are being called for by the above Council for certain buildings. I should much like to know if the very extraordinary precedent estab. lished oy the “Hospital contract” is to be followed in all others,- providing that the contractor can manage to make a wise clerical mistake should he find his temder much lower than the next, and get it made nearly up to it 1 I think, Sir, one might manage to make one part cost a few hundreds more than it should, and appear right enough to any person not able or willing to go through the whole in detail. That done, it would be an easy matter to show a mistake. lam inclined to think few, if any, of our shrewd Councillors would like to work out in detail the very elaborate plans and specifications supplied by their scientific architect, who would grace a larger city. I thought it was the intention of the Council to put as much money in circulation in the district as possible, it appears to me the architect must have forgotten their intentions. I should not think of asking any of these questions if I were thinking of. tendering for work belonging to any of the worthy Councillors’ private purses.

I am, &c., Inquirer,

THE MISSING MAN.

Mr. Edward Cookson, who has taken a warm interest in the case of Gordon, the missing farmer, made arrangements on Saturday for taking out a search party on Sunday, and having secured a party of twelve or more active young men, he had his coach in readiness with a team of three horses, on Sun day morning at ten o’clock, and the party set out. Mr.’ Cookson, however, was not the only gentleman anxious about the lost man, and as the coach drove along the Seafield road to where Gordon was last seen, the party was recruited by quite a troop of horse men, who had set out in twos and threes on their own account. Arrived at the first turn past Mr. Tyson Hudson’s, where tracks of Gordon’s dra) wheels had been found by previous searchers, a council was held, and Sergeant Felton, who assumed charge of the party, partitioned off the country for search. The horsemen, of whom there were a large number, increased by this time by many farmers from every part of the district, were sent over the more distant tracts of land,while the men on foot .searched the paddocks and tussock land in the neighborhood of the place where traces of Gordon were lost. The footmen stretched across the lands at a distance of 30 or 40 yards from each other, and thus walked over five or six miles of ground. The search was continued up till three o’clock, when all hands returned to the rendezvous agreed on, and reported. Notwith standing the most careful search not a trace of. the man could he found, and, much disappointed, the party decided to abandon the search for the day, the footmen only continuing along the. creek and adjoining paddocks up to Mr. George Smith’s, but still without success. Before the horsemen from the country went home, Sergeant Felton thanked them for their kindness in turning out to help, and said lie was now satisfied, from the thorough search that had been made, the lost man was not on any of the land that had been traversed that day by the search party and during the week by constables and others. A further search with grap pling irons would, however, be made of the creek, and the wells adjoining the roads, that might offer a suspicion of his having fallen into them. As far as Gordon’s wanderings can be traced, he had lost the road, and at least twice had turned back in doubt as to his position. It has been further learned that he entered a settler’s house at dark and asked to be directed. He was then apparently sober, but was terribly cold and wet. To-day the wells likely to be a 'trap to anyone who had lost his way were to be grappled, as' also the creek once more. The large number of searchers who turned out yesterday—there could not 'have been fewer than fifty men —showed the kind hearted interest taken by both towns men and country residents in the fate of the unfortunate man. Gordon has only been a few months in the colony, is married, and has a large family. Where so many persons were good enough to aid in the search, and each worked as hard as bis neighbor, it would serve no good purpose by singling out any one for commendation, but we-may mention to Mr ; Cookson’s credit that he lent his coach and horses for the occasion gratuitously and Mr. Canning also kindly contri buted a horse to the team. We should reckon that on Sunday the search party covered a radius of ten miles of ground.

“ The Spider and the Fly.”—At a recent meeting at Feilding, to protest against the granting of additional licences, Sir William Fox was one of the speakers, and spoke strongly in favor of total abstinence. Someone in the meeting asked —Did you ever hear of a publican asking a man to go into his house?” To which Sir Wil liam rejoined-—“ Did you ever know a spider to ask a fly to walk into his web ? ” A roar of laughter followed this reply.

Laudanum Drinking. —Dr. Mof fat recently made an extraordinary statement at a meeting lield at Hawar den, presided over by the Rev. S. E. Gladstone, to advocate Sunday closing. Dr. Moffat said there were greater evils than beer drinking. He referred to the increase in the consumption of laud anum and opium since public-houses were closed earlier. Even in that par ish he asked a druggist if he had found any increase in the sale of laudanum since the public-houses were closed at ten o’clock, and the chemist in .rmed hint that in one village alone he weekly sold two quarts of laudanum. Si'Ace then he knew a family that spent ios. weekly in opium alone. If a man did not get sufficient' beer to send him to sleep his wife was obliged to give him a dose of laudanum. He knew one instance where the husband thrashed his tyife because she had not procured him his usual dose of opium.

Photographic Effects of Light ning.—-A curious circumstance is nar rated by the Fremantle He/ aid, of 26th April: —“The boy who was unfor tunately killed last week at the Subiaco Orphanage, was found after death to have a fig-leaf and a geranium, which he was holding .in his hand, photo graphed on his breast. Another boy, who was in the number of those who were stunned, but not injured further, was found, when examined, to have a fig-leaf photographed on his foot, which was at the same time swollen by its contact with the electric fluid,”

[Special to the Globe. ) Sydney, July 26. The Athol’s hundred tons of teas for New Zealand have been transhipped. The Ocean left Hong Kong on the 20th with teas for New Zealand. The Ben tnuir left Hong Kong with 942 .tons of teas for New Zealand. . The Exhibition is making immense progress. The number of exhibits is overwhelming. The New Zealand Court is in a splendid position.

A “ Charmed Life.” —The Welling ton Post tells of a child of four or five years old who had in an hour or so two almost miraculous escapes from death last week. He had strayed away from home, and was wandering along Willis . street after the tram when* he. was knocked down by a buggy. The driver pulled up instantaneously, and the child was picked up uninjured. Being again set, on his legs, the adventurous infant pursued his peregrinations and was not long afterwards again knocked . down, this time by a cab drawn by two horses. A thrill of horror went through the by standers at seeing him under the horses’ feet, ; but, marvellous to relate, he was again rescued almost without a scratch upon him. A friendly grocer recog nised him, and took him home to his parents. “ Little Townships.”— The Sim monds-Mitchell Opera Company came to grief and into Court in Wellington, and the band-master sued the “ bosses ” for his salary. He won the case. In the course of’the hearing, Mr. Mitchell stated that the performance of “Martha” was a fiasco, owing to the orchestra not being supplied with sufficient band parts. “ Hasn’t the opera always been a fiasco when it has. been played by ithe company ? ” asked Mr. Adams, who appearedfor the conductor, Mr. Hughes. The witness seemed a little taken aback by the question, and then replied apolo getically, “ Well, the other places we played in were only little townships, and it didn’t matter much.” This naive admission, and indirect.compliment to to the critical powers of the Wellington public., excited roars of laughter in Court. ' A Useful Discovery.— A lake has been discovered at White Island which contains a solution of hydrochloric acid, and a white small stream that runs into it is strongly impregnated with sulphuric acid. These acids are potent solvents, and once their discovery is made known means of turning them to profitable account will soon be found. These valuable chemical waters were em ployed in the manufacture of boned ust, and the result has been most satisfac tory. There is now in Auckland a small box of the product, which is of the consistency of flour. It is almost odor less, and contains all the ingredients which render it.a marketable commo dity.' 1 The Missing Link. —The “ miss ing link” (reports the Echo) has been discovered in the Siwalik -rocks of the Punjab. Mr. Theobald, of the Geolo gical Survey, has found the skull of an anthropoid ape, an. adult female, which/ must have been as large as a female gorilla or prang. This is the .first fossil... found in India which bears a resem blance to existing apes ; and this animal must have been as distinct as the gorilla and the chimpanzee, or any other two types of ape. It is therefore pro posed to give it a new name,

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Colds, Coughs, ■ Shortness of Breath. — These corrective, remedies are infallible for these pectoral complaints, which, .neglected, often end in asthma, bronchitis, or consumption. The Ointment, well rubbed upon the cliest and back, penetrating the skin, is car ied directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood in the body constantly passes through the lung-:, and there all noxious parti cles tending to produce disease, can !c quick ly, thoroughly, and permanently neutralised, rendered harmless, or ejected from the.system. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills perfectly accomplish this purification ; and through the blood, thus cleansed, the influence of these wonderful medicaments reaches the remotest parts of the human body ; and thus cures fill diseased action, whether internal or external.
