SOUTH.

By tho arrival of the steamers John Perm and Ahuririin the Manakau yesterday morning, we are placed in possession of later Southern fil^s; from which we cull the following extracts : — TARANAKI. The Herald of the 26th March, says :—The Hon. Mr. Fox was a passenger by the Phoebe, for Wellington ; and yesterday, whilst that vessel was in our roadstead he came on shore and remained a short time. Chief Inspector Branigan was also a passenger by that vessel for this place. Thb Election cor the Omata District.— We are given to understand that Henry Sewell, Esq., was to leave England in January last, and if it should be ascertained, by the mail to arrive, that he is likely to be m New Zealand in time for the next session of the General Assembly, it is the intention of some of the electors to propose him as a candidate to represent the Omata District in the House of Representatives. The native meeting atParikia ended m smoke.

NELSON.

The Examiner of the 24th says:—Two youn" men named Thomas White and Henry Cleaver (the latter a son of Mr. Cleaver, who some years ago kept the Plough Inn, at Eichmond), lost their lives in a deep pool in the Wairau River on the 11th instant. They had left Mr. Ockley's, in the Wairau Valley, to gather blackberries on the opposite side of the river, and it is supposed young Cleaver's hor^e became unmanageable, and fell with him into a hole in the river ten feet deep, and that the other young man lost his life in attempting to rescue him, as they were found the next morning clasped in each other's arms. By a telegram received last evening from Lyttelton, we learn that Madame Carindini and her gifted daughters, accompanied by Mr. Walter Sherwin, will arrive in Nelson early in the week. The late dissolution of the Marlborough Provincial Council has resulted at present only in another dead lock. Two m embers of the Council were absent at the election for the Superintendency, which gave Mr. Seymour nine, and Mr. Eyes eight votes, and, unless Mr. Seymour Can secure the support of both of the absent gentlemen, he will not be elected, as it requires a majority of the whole Council, numbering twenty, to elect a Superintendent. One of the absent members, Mr.' A. Munro, now in Nelson, will, it is understood, support Mr. Seymour, but the other absentee we know nothing about.

WELLINGTON.

The Independent of the 22nd writes : —lt is proverbial that gold diggers, as a class, do not look far into futurity. But we were hardly prepared to find that they are so extremely short sighted as recent events at the Thames have shown them to be. After hearing of monster public meetings of the unemployed, and of three thousand" starving diggers sending depu tations to the Superintendent of Auckland to learn how it was proposed to supply them with food, it is with no little surprise that we learn the reduetio ad absurdum from 3000 destitute miners to 13 individuals actually in want. So conclusive is the evidence in favour of the well-doing of the great majority of the sup posed paupers, that the only semblance of a discussion as to the truth of the figures pro duced, goes to show that the thirteen destitute miners may be reduced to four. We learnt by the last mail that moneys wer6 being sent from France for investment in the Thames mines, but on the receipt of the news of the deputa tion to the Superintendent of Auckland, any such distant sources of revenue for the develop ment of the mines will be effectually stopped, instead of the Thames having any reason to complain of this part of the colony for the action taken, or the laguage used here in re spect of this matter, Wellington has good rea son to complain of this uncalled for deprecia • tion of the goldfields by the mining population on the field. At about half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning flames were seen issuing from 0113 of the stables belonging to Mr. A. M'Masters, at Tuhitarata, which quickly spread to the adjoining buildings, and reduced them to ashes. These buildings were the finest and most spacious of any in the Wairarapa, and com prised two stables, a barn, storeroom, cowshed, and coachhouse, valued at £2000. There was also a quantity of stores, grain, hay, harness farm implements, &c, destroyed, nothing being rescued except a trap, two carts, and an Ame rican waggonette. The buildings were insured. > It is not known how the fire originated, and in that case it will of course be ascribed to , spontaneous combustion, though fortunately there was no flax on the premises. The same paper of the 24th says:—We learn with deep regret af the suJden death of Mr. John Lambert, a well known and much respected settler in the Rangitikei district. Mr. • Lambert was riding homewards from Wanga; nui on the evening of Saturday last, aud on I approaching the Toll Bar which has been / recently erected across the road, near the /'Putiki swamp, he set spurs to his horse with the intention of rushing past it. The keeper of the gate having on more than one occasion been defrauded of the toll by horsemen riding through in a similar manner, closed the gate, • against which Mr. Lambert's horse rushed, throwing his rider heavily to the ground on the other side. Mr. Lambert never spoke after his fall and died in about three hours afterwards. He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his loss. The Evening Post, of the same date says : — | A sample of quartz sent from the Never Despair Gold Mining Company, Wellington, has been crushed at Melbourne, with the fol lowing satisfactory results :—One quarter of a ton, crushed and amalgamated, yielded 2 dwts. 21 grains of gold of poor quality (much like the Thames gold), which is equal to 11 dwts. 12 grains per ton.

HOKITIKA.

The pheasants iv the gardens of the Canter bury Acclii^mtisation Society have this year increased satisfactorily, nearly sixty having ' been rearedlimaddition to a large number of eggs sold to members. Ihe losses have been comparatively few, and tho.^e chiefly arising from a deficient stock of suitable hens for hatching the eggs. Host of the birds are now fit for turning out. The pheasants liberated ifl in the gardens have 'lso done well, several having been seen with their second broods. There is no doubt if the pheasants could be , protected for a year or two, pheasant shooting might be added to our list of sports. Great loss has annually been occasioned by so many

of the birds being shot. As an insect destroyer, the pheasant is a valuable auxiliary, aand one of the best checks against the spread of locust Times, March 22. Since the Charles Edward was wrecked, and while the passengers were encamped on the beach—a birth took place, the first, we pre sume, that has ever taken place, as far as white people ttfe concerned; at Martin's Bay. Maori children may have been born there, but we believe the birth which took place on Saturday last, when the wife of the Rev. Mr. MTntosh was safely delivered of a son, is the first in stance of a white cliild being born in that wilderness. We were glad to notice, notwith standing the difficulties that she must have met with, that the good lady looked _ exceed ingly well, as also did the rest of this interest ing family, and the other passengers. — Evening Star, March 19.

SUSPECTED SMUGGLING.

Last night Detective Hitches, while pursuing inquiries with the view of discovering the per petrators of a recent robbery, discovered that a quantity of tobacco had been lately offered for sale in town. A short time after, he apprehended a man named Phillip John Murtagh on suspicion of the offence, and found in his "possession 791bs. of tobacco 112 packs of playing cards, which goods are supposed not to have contributed to the colonial revenue. It will be seen by our report of the pro ceedings in the Police Court this morning, that Murtagh was brought up and remanded till Saturday. He states, we believe, that he procured the tobacco and cards from a steamer trading between Auckland and an Australian port. Detective Hitches went to Auckland this morning to make inquiries. We have no doubt that a great deal of smuggling has been and is perpetrated at the Thames, and we have little hope of seeing it quite put an end to till some change has been made in the tariff. The amount of duty lost to the revenue on the arricles taken from Murtagh, and which he could carry on his back, would amount, we believe, to about £10.— Evening Mail, March 30.

THE EVENING STAR, MARCH 81, 1870.



Kissing the Baby was once the lot of the writer to dwell in the white tents of Camp flarrison in Georgia—in the lower part of the State where families are always far between, and much more so in war times. For long weeks we had not seen a woman or a child. At last the railroad through the camp was repaired, and in the first -was a lady with a wide awake kicking baby. Some hundreds of rough soldiers were around the cars, and Capt. Storp, of the 57th Infantry, was the biggest and roughest among them, if we judge the tree by its bark. The lady with the baby in her arms was looking out of the window, and he took off his hat and said, " Madam, I will give you five dollars if you will let me kiss the baby!" One look at his bearded face told her that there was nothing bad in it, and saying with a laugh, "I do not charge anything for kissing my baby," she h-raded it over. The little one was not afraid, and the_ bushy whiskers, an eight of an ell long, was just the plaything it had been looking for. More than one kiss did the captain get from the little red lips, and there was energy in the hug of the little arms. Then other voices said, "Pass hin- over here, Cap.," and before the train was ready to move, half a hundred men had kissed the baby. It was on its best behaviour, and .ticked and crowed, and tugged at whiskers, as only a happy babby can. It was an event of the campaign; and one giant of the moun taineer, as he ttrode past us with a tread like a mammoth, but with tear dimmed eye and quivering lips, said, " By George, it mak s me feel and act like a fool; but I've got one just like it at home." As the Wellington was leaving Lyttelton last trip a boat accident occurred which was nearly attended with very serious consequen ces. A number of people had remained on board saying goodbye to their friends until the vessel was actually under way, a waterman's boat being towed alongside to take them on shore One of the first to descend was a lady named Taylor, who, however, was preceded by Mr. Moss the purser, who stood in the boat's bow to assist Mrs Taylor to get down. Several other persons rushed down at the same time and the weight in the bow, added to the way of the steamer, pulled the boat under, and suddenly immersed the eight persons onboard. The boat of a schooner lying near, came tc the rescue, and, after a delay of a few minutes, the passengers were all safely taken on board. During their immersion they all exhibited great coolness, that of Mrs Taylor being very remarkable Had any of them lost presence of mind the result would probably have been fatal. More are drowned in the bowl than in the sea. The Key of the Human Chest—The Stetho ecofiet



The special correspondent of the The Daily Telegraph having to say that "it is raining in Rome," does so in this fashion: — "Santa Bibbiana, patroness of goloshes, first cousin to St. Swithin, and directress of the celestial waterworks, has evidently made up her mind this year to convince the incredulous in folk-lore that her pluvious proclivioies have not become proverbial without very good reasons."
