The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1870.

It cannot bo denied that the Colonial Treasurer has effected a veritable coup d'etat, and that he has made himself master of the situation. The rumblings that preceded the meeting of. Parliament foreboded a coming storm; and whatever may finally result, there cannot be a doubt that, for the time at least, the clouds have been dissipated. The colonisation scheme was boldly conceived, and the best testimony to the wis dom of the new policy is the way in which ib has forced itself on the convictions alike of the friends and enemies of the Ministry. The first sensation at hearing the gigantic .proposal was one of conster nation, in which alinosb every mind was involved. Those members iv the House of Eepresentatives who sud denly expressed themselves as standing " aghast" and "amazed," and " dumb foundered," and who described the scheme as " wild" and " reckless," and " impracticable," need not exhibit such sensitive delicacy in beating a retreat under shelter of " necessity of modifica tions," and so on; for they but abruptly expressed the sentiment that was upper most in every mind, and will gain no thing by endeavouring to prove their " consistency" which is well described as the " wisdom of fools." There was something so novel in the future ca reer sketched out for New Zealand as might well take everyone by surprise ; but there is that in it so progressive and statesmanlike that cannot but command the approval of those who wish to see the country assume the po sition so evidently intended by nature. Nearly every other dependency of Eng land largely owes its progress to the opening up of the country by the fear less initiation of public works; and it is to the absence of this spirit of en terprise attributable—as much as to the taint of felony in their systems— that the convict colonies of "Western Australia and Van Dieman's Land have continued to be the spittoons of the earth. It is in the highest degree j hopeful for the future of New Zealand to observe how generally party spirit has been sunk in the consideration of 1 this ministerial scheme ; and however keenly political parties and journals may censure and condemn the general political principles of the Ministry, there has been a candid and generous concession of the wisdom of the colonization scheme. Many and dark are the stains on the politics of New Zealand, but the reception which the new policy has received, shows that even in this land of jobbery and cor ruption there are higher instincts which are commanded by " measures, not men."

With reference to an article in this morning's Southern Cross, under the heading, " The alleged cruelties at Tahiti," in which it; is stated that an action for damages for alleged libel in connection with, this matter, lias been in stituted against a local evening contem porary, we beg to state that the .Evening j Stab is not the paper referred to. The Cabandijji Conceets.—Another of these charming concerts was given last evening at the City Hall, before an excel lent attendance. The operatic selection from II Trovatore was charmingly ren dered. Mr. Small gave us his Hamlet last evening, which, of course, caused rounds of applause: it is indeed a laugh able production, and well worth going to hear and see. To-night Miss Fannie Carandini takes her benefit, and, as Lady Bowen will honor the concert with her presence, we are sure all the lovers of legitimate music will patronise the City Hall to«night. On reference to our ad- Tertising columns an excellent programme is announced, and, with fine weather, we are. sure the charming benejiciare will have no cause to complain of the attend-

Me. and Mrs. Woodroffe, the Bohe mian Glass-blowers, have succeeded in obtaining the new City Hall, and will open their exhibition at the termination of the Carandini concerts. Judging from the manner in which their singular enter tainment is invariably spoken of by the Southern press, the people of Auckland have indeed a treat in store.

By an advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that Mr. It. Hay wood, uphol sterer, has removed from Victoria-street to Queen-street, two doors from Messrs. Vaile Brothers.

Theatbe Royal.—Times have changed With this little theatre, full houses being now the rule; and not the exception, for last night this place of amusement Was again comfortably filled. The " Ticket of Leave Man" was produced, in which Miss G-ougenheim played very effectively May Edwards. We have never seen so much feeling thrown iuto this party as Bhown by Miss Grougeuheim last night. We have before noticed Mr. Bayner as Bob Briely, ho always playing this part to perfection. 'Ihe other characters were sustained very credieably by the members of the company, although we should pre fer Mr. Hydes in his own line. He him self does not at all seem comfortable or at home on the s t a g e j n gftc^ ex^ as he !

To night Holly-Bush Hall will be produced, in which Miss G-ougenheim as Meda, is said to be excellent/ We hope thare will be a good attendance. ,!

AUCKLAND RIFLE VOLUNTEERS.

FIRING- FOR PRIZES.

The firing for the battalion prizes of the Auckland Rifle Volunteers commenced yeste-r tlay. Those prizes consist of small sums of money, ranging according to the class, from 15s. to £2 10s. The beautiful silver flagon presented by Col. Gore Browne, goes to the marksman making the highest score. The men mustered to the number of fifty early yesterday, morning, and were driven out in express cars to the butts at Point Chevalier. The firing commenced at five minutes past nine. The ranges were 100, 200, 300,400, and 500 yards, three shots at each—fifteen shots in all. The first four ranges were fired at, but on account of the later ess of the hour, the firing at the 500 yard range had to be post poned until to-day. The party were under the charge of Captain Derrom, who was in command. Ensign. Hassan was at the but! 3 assisting the marksmen. Major Tisdall and Colonel Harrington were also on the ground.

AN ANACONDA'S REVENGE.

AN ''bf?/BRAZILIAN LIFE. TiiE.passion of revenge seems to be as deeply rooted in the bref sts of some of th'c.animnis of creation as in the human kind.*; The incident which we are about to relate is a true one, and will servo to show the'correctness of this assertion:'

A few months since there moved from the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, to Brazil, couth Americ.i, a gentleman an 1 his wife, by the name of Miller. They were one of several families who, having become tired of .Northern rule, and unable to make any money in the " sunny South," preferred a foreign country to their own native land.

And so, in last February they sallied forth, and in due time arrived at a certain interior town in Brazil. Mr. Miller intended to clear a pieco of land, raise sheep and such farm pro duce as the climate would admit, and hoped to earn a decent living thereby. He himself was a man of twenty-five years of age, with good prospects of a life of usefulness before him, and his wife, whom he had but lately rnarri. d, a woman of twenty —young, beautiful, and devoted to her lord as all wives should be.

The country round about where the young couple settled was very wild. They fjuilt their own house of logs, rough looking but solid, substantinl and well put together. For miles there was no other habitation. The nights were very lonely, and the days not much leas so. Tlio voice not only of the tur tle, but of the lizard, the centipede, tho various monstrous varieties of toads and ani mals, some four footed, some two footed, and a great many without feet, could be hoard from early morn to dewey eve to early morn again. It was a place well calculated to awaken feelings of the liveliest description in any mind, and cause the strongest minded female to tremble with apprehension. Mrs. Miller, being anything but strong minded, suffered very much from fear, and did not lead, on the whole, a very happy life. She could not go to a drawer without find ing in it a ceutipodo a3 large as a little eel, or open a cupboard without mesting with a spider almc st as large as a small crab. Lizards of beautiful colours, but of repulsive appear ance, had to be swept out of the bed-room at night. These were harmless enough, but there ai c few peqplo who would care to wake up and iiud them crawling over their faces, or hear their long nails clattering along the wood floor. The climate, too, told on Mrs. Miller's health. The reptiles by day and the mosquitoes by night made-hcr unusually sus ceptiblo of irritation and alarm. But of all her horrors, the greatest she entertained wa3 that against snakes and sei'pents of all kinds. This was ineradicable from her nature, and was, in fact, as much part of her nature as tho overwhelming antipathies some ladies feel to the sight of a rat, a spider, or a bull. Un fortunately, Mvi. Miller lived in a part of the country which was infested with snakes ; some harmless, some deadly; but whether harinlc3s or deadly, the unconquerable terror she evinced was the same to all. Once a , tubobc, a quick and deadly snake, was killed in her house. At another time a coral-snake, the most beautiful and most quickly deadly of ail the venemous reptiles God has created, was found and killed with ease upon the rough lawn if we may dignify by such a term the short, brown, burnt-up herbage which sur round the house. A'■■ "neither time a small anaconda, about ele.m i'ec-fc long, was found in the woods near tha house and killed ; and what was much worse, constant rumours were brought in that two very large serpeuts of the samo class had been seen in the forest not far off. Poor Mrs. Miller's terrors were not diminished by the exaggerated tales of her native servants, till at length they roso to such a pitch, that it seemed very likely, as she ofteiJ' said, that she would die if a' Serpent came near her. Her fears got to such a height that at last she would not venture out at all; and actually kept her room. In this frame of mind it will easily be believed that her life was a r- isery Jo herself, and not of much com fort to her wild, fearn; nght hutbind.

All day long her husband wa3 absent, clear ing wood, banting, or doing such farm work as might be in hand at the time-.

One morning Mr. Miller went out double barrelled musket in hatid, for the purpose of looking to tlio progress of some distant cleat - ings. Ho started early in the morning but did not return until towards mid-day. He was riding along leisurely, being on horseback, no sound being heard in the woods but now and then a cry of some bird, the roar of sor/e monster in the distance, or the falling of a rotten branch. All of sudden his horse started back nearly overthrowing its rider, who, on looking to see the cause of the move ment, saw ooiled up on a tree very near by, a huge black anaconda. Of course no time was lost in looking. Mr. Miller levelled his mus ket and planted a discharge of ammunition in the reptile's head. The animal fell to the ground though " not dead yet," for it writhed in the most horrible manner. In a few mo ments it became still, and the huntsman planted another discharge in its body, and a few seconds after death ensued. Not content with these two shots and desiring to make assiu'ance doubly siure, ho alighted from his horse, and taking out his Jrnife, cut the Ter tabrao of the monster with much difficulty in the centre ©f the back.' The serpent measurad nearly twenty-nine feet in length, and was evidently from its size an.i great thickness, immensely powerful. He then unluckily de termined to drag his trophy home, and, in the way of practically joking only, give his wife a scare. On arriving at his house, he found that his wife was sleeping in her bed-room. He went into the sitting-room and coiled the snake up in a corner so as to exhibit it injlthe most effectual way. Before long, Mr?. Miller came down stairs and went into the sitting room, her husband being outside to hear the effec\ Little expecting to see such a sighf, as soon as she saw the monster she cried out in the most piercing manner, " The serpent, the serpent." So loud did she shriek, that Mr. Miller's calls to her that the reptile was dead, were drowned. Suddenly he hea d struggling going on inside. The servants hastened to the room, and joined in the screaming. On opening the door, Mr. Miller was surprised and horrified to find his wife attacked by a hugo anaconda. It was the mate of the one that hud been killed, and had followed its dead companion as it was dragged through the woods, doubtless for the purpose of revenging the murder.

Mr. Miller's " practical joke" served to be of a more serious and far different nature from what ho thoiight it would be. His wife was badly bruised about the neck and breast, and remained insensible for the day. Restoratiyos

Were given her, but on the succeeding day convulsions set in, and she died in tho most horrible agony, leaving Mr. Miller a widower, and the pareut of a still-born child.

A WOMAN MAKES FOUR AT TEMPTS TO GET RUN OVER BY A RAILWAY TRAIN, BUT DOES NOT SUCCEED.

The locomotive drawing the train due at Poughkeepsie at 2.30 p.m., Thursday, met with quite an ep.sode ne.tr Fishk1'1!, N.Y. The train was a little behind time, and was running faster than usual in consequence thereof. After leaving the " rock cuts" north of Fishkill, the engineer observed a strange-* ooking object on the track, some distance ahead, in a crouching position. Eyeing it closely, he observed it move and rise up till it assumed the form of a woman, lie blew the alarm whistle, shut oif steam, and prepared to stop, when four boys rushed toward tho wo man and dragged her from i he rails. She tore herself from them, and again reached the trade, laying her neck on tho rail. Ajjain the lads pulled her away, and again she went back. A third time they dragged her away bj her heels breaking the hold of her hands, which convul sively clutched the rail. The last time they pulled her away they held her fast till the train passed slowly by, thus saving her life. The most determined boy wus a negro lad, who is employed by a Sir. Collins. It did not appear who the woman was. She was apparently about thirty-live years of age. Her basket was left on the track, and wus run over. Bhe had nothing on her head but a ehawl.

A FEMALE SLEEP-WALKER AS TONISHES THE CITIZENS OF GALENA, ILL.

A veby. singular case of somnambulism re cently occurred in the town of Q-alena, Illinois, where General Q-rant formerly re sided.

A Miss —, a daughter of one of the first families of the place has, for several years past, been addicted to the habit of sleep-walk ing. On Monday evening, April 8, persons who were passing along the streets of the town at the hour of half-past eleven p.m., saw a strange spectre mounted on the back of a dark bay horse, the animal moving along very slowly. The apparition was a "woman in white"— a young lady. Her eyes were wide open and seemed to be gazing into the distance at nothing. Her hair being over her shoulders and down her back. The horse moved slowly along without being guided by tho rider. The ghostly pageant moved through several of the streets of the city. Pinally, on coming to the corner of Washington and Maine-streets a small boy who happened to bs standing near by, was dreadfully frightened by the spectacle, whom he took to be a genuine ghost, and he therefore howled in the most pitiable manner. His screams awakened the young lady, who would have fallen from her horse, but for a young gentleman friend who happened to be passing, recognised her, and caught her in his arms.

She struggled, and the unaccountable part of the story is that the horse belonged to a livery stable near the young lady's residence, and, in the early part of the evening in ques tion had been securely fastened with a halter. How he got loose, or how the young lady got to him without notice is something which has not ".bee^ and probably never will be, ex plained.
