The Evening Star. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1870.

One of the standing subjects of com plaint with our local corps of volunteers has been the long-coveted rifle rau«e. The targets erected at Point Chevalier have been almost useless ; practice there necessitating an expenditure of time and effort not generally at the disposal of those constituting our defence force. The grant, therefore, of tho site for a rifle range at Mount Eden was hailed with gratification by all interested in the movement. We find, however, that the volunteers are yet " calling on Jupiter." That there is not sufficient in terest taken in the encouragement of volunteering, considering our ex posed and helpless state, is true; and the increase of the capitation grant is but a small measure of encouragement for a force, on the efficiency of which the safety of the country may in future largely depend. But the self-reliant suggestions of his Honor the Superin tendent to the deputation which waited on him relative to the rifle range, at Mount Eden, may, if spiritedly carried out, do more than any grant to infuse life and vigour into the service. The put ting the ground set apart into a fit state for rifle practice is really not beyond the powers of our local companies ; and even though the country corps might at times avail themselves of the range, the efficiency thereby gained would be all iv behalf of the same cause. The removal of a ftsv boulders and tons of earth should not be a serious obstruction to men who, if called on for active service against an enemy, would have far more difficult operations to conduct; and, divided amorg all the men of the various companies, the work to each would be very light indeed. It is true that many of the men from their ordinary dv.''<s could ill afford the leisure, st" ihcre n-o few who could not take ah 1 day and devote it to the work. There arc except! nal cases, where a substitute might be provided; but if the operations needed were under taken with real esprit dc corps, not only would the vigorous handling of the pick and shovel in such a cause be in no way derogatory to the dignity of members, but produce a zeal and emulation for similar works which might be of incalculable ad vantage to the cause of volunteering. If such a spirit were manifested by the volunteers themselves, it will be found that a generous response will be evoked from the public. "We are so thoroughly governed that we have learned to call to the Govern ment for everything ; but of nil classes or institutions, it is to the Volunteers we should look for an exhibition of the " self-reliant" policy. We trust that the spirited advice of Mr. Gillies will be carried through by the Volunteers, not for the direct advantage alone of bating at once a rifle range, but for the effects that it will have indirectly on the cause of volunteering.

The Carandini Concert last night was very largely attended, it being a benefit to Mr. J. Small. As might have been anticipated, this most amusing of vocalists appeared in bis best, and with the charming singing of the Carandini family, secured a great success.

In the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, Miss Evans appeared with excellent effect as Marie Stuart. There was a fair house, and plenty of applause. The " Lottery Ticket" was also produced, evoking the usual fun. The same programme will be repeated to night.

To those desirous of investing in literature, we would recommend a visit to Mr. Sibbin's auction mart. A library of some seven or eight hundred volumes, consigned to him direct from London, is on exhibition, and is to be sold by him to-morrow. The collection is of the most miscellaneous kind, including 'every description, from Classics to children's toy books ; from fiction to theology. The library has been selected so as to suit the most varied tastes.

We are informed that two junior members are about to rejoin the Carandini family ; and a series of concerts at the Thames will be fol lowed by a similar treat in this city.

The officers of the U.S. war steamer Resaea were yesterday evening entertained by the members of the Northern Club at dinner. Complimentary toasts were, of cousre> inter ohanged.

At an adjourned meeting of the embryo Cricket Club, at Campion's Hotel, yesterday eveninc, new members v.ere_ enrolled and offi cers appointed : —His Honor the Superinten dent, President ; F. D. Fenton and J. M. Dargaville, Esqs., Vice Presidents ; and Messrs. Cotton and Pocock, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively; and Messrs. Russell, Kees, Kissling, Gleeson, Brassey, Clifford, Newbury, and McGann, members of com mittee. The annual subscription fee was fixed at 10s. 6d., and rules and regulations and general affairs discussed.

We are glad to see the Union Jack floating this morning from the tower of the New Zea land Insurance Company's Offices in Lower Queen-street. The last brick has been laid, and we are enabled to form an idea of the proportions and appearance of this really handsome structure. The apertures for the faces of the public clock show what a benefit it will be to the citizens. The loftiness of the clock-tower, its admirable position, and the unimpeded view obtained from every point, will make the clock what it should be, a con venience to the whole peopie ; while tho fagade of the building is such as will make it one of the most striking and attractive in the city.

We are informed that the last sale of Tookey's shares was at £5, that being the highest price reached. There have been no transactions to-day worth recording.

As will be seen from another column the Ethiopian Troupe owning allegiance to the Mechanics' Institute is generously extending its sympathies, and appears on Saturday night next at the Devonport Hall, North Shore. We have no doubt that the same success pro portionately will attend our dark brethren before a North Shore audience that has been awarded among our denser population. The Enterprise has been generously and gratui tously placed at the service of the niggers.

We are glad to learn that a large shipment of rope, manufactured by Mr. Neil Lloyd, at his worts on Ponsonby Road, has been shipped by the Santon for America. As Mr. Lloyd's machinery for the manufacture of New Zealand flax is the finest in the Colonies, and conse quently in the world, we can congratulate ourselves on knowing that our Yankee cousins will see a fair test of the capabilities of the phormium tenax for cordage.

R. Hobbs, wholesale and retail Draper and Clothier, has just opened, to order, a choice lot of Cricketers' Belts. An allowance to clubs.—[Advt.]

The total Customs receipts for the colony for the last quarter are £183,117, of which Auckland contributed £-17,905.

At the recent meeting of No. 3 Company A.R.A r., Ensign Harrison informed the mem bers that he would have pleasure in giving the sum of five pounds as a prize to be fired for by the company.

At a meeting of the members of No. 3 Company Auckland Rifle Volunteers, held at the Alexandra hotel, Parnell, on Tuesday evening, Mr. W. Harrison was unanimously elected ensign in the place of Mr. E. Scotter, resigned.

Mr. Whitaker called at our office yesterday and showed the promissory notes he had ob tained in his capacity as solicitor to Mr. John Lundon, when the respective amounts were paid on Friday last, in satisfaction of the debt due by the natives, and in order to re lease Moananui from his retreat at the Piako. The chiefs are to assemble at Shortland to morrow and discuss the payment of the amounts of the promissory notes, and the large additional expense incurred by tho em ployment of a body of men to put the law in foree —an expense which they distinctly decline to defray.— Advertiser, 21st.

The Essay and Discussion Class, Young Men's Christian Association, meet this even ing, at 7.30, at the rooms, Wellesley-street, when a paper will be read by one of the members on " A Few of our Public Require ments."

The Saturday Review asks—ls the world, after all, so very absurd in its love of pretty women ? Is women so very ridiculous in her chase after beauty ? A pretty woman is doing woman's work in the world—not mak ing speechs nor making puddings, but making life sunnier and more beautiful. Man has forsworn beauty altogether. But woman does for mankind what man has ceased to do. She clings to the Periclean idea. Her aim from very childhood is to be beautiful, liven as a schoolgirl she notes the progress of her charms, tho deepening colour of her hair, the growing symmetry of her arm, the ripening contour of her check. We watch with a silent interest the myslcrou. reveries of the maiden ; she is dreaming of a coming beauty, and panting for the glories of eighteen. Insensibly she be comes an ai List, her room a studio, her glass an academy. The hours work w-th hr, but she works with the hours. What silent nui3liiigs before her mirror, w at dreams, what discoveries, what disapppoiiitmrnls, wb rt care ful gleaning of expedience, what sudden flashes of invention ! Perhaps we enjoy beauty less than we might from the absurd connection which men have established between the enjoyment of it and love. We fancy it im possible to care much about a pretty face unless we can hang it in our own gallery. " What c.ire I how fair she be, so she is not fair to me." It is perhaps truer to say that nine-tenths of our enjoyment of beauty dis appears with possession. The lover dwells on his mistress's face till he loses all sense of the world of beauty without it. The real way of enjoying pretty women would be never to fall in love with a pretty woman at all. The truest enjoyment of beauty lies, not in the observation or analysis of this face or that, but in the sense of pretty forms and pretty faces about one. The joy of variety, the pleasure of the inexhaustible range of the beautiful comes to the admirer of pretty women, never to the lover of pretty women.

Victorian female society, it seems, is too virtuous and well conducted to supply the re quired number of waitr. sses for the cafes that have been recently opened, in which propriety is outraged, and immodesty flaunts itself in the most merotri. ious style. Ihe keepers of these cafes have had to go farther afield in search of prey, and Tasmania was resorted to as the place "where they thought they could catch their victims. In the Hobart Town Mercury of the 19th instant the following advertisement appears : —" Wanted 20 respec table females to proceed to Melbourne as waitresses, 30s. per week. Fare paid to Melbourne. Apply Mrs. Davies's Registry Office, Harrington-street, this day a. 12 o'clock sharp." The Mercury, in a leading

article denounced in the strongest language this trap thus laid for the unwary girls, and an indignant correspondence is appearing in its columns. For the sake of Victorian journalism it is to be'hoped that a univeral hue-and-cry of execration will be raised a'_inst those persons who defame out national character, and make it appear that vice characterises us as a community. A storm of indignation is raised against those persons in Melbourne who now and then seek to engage .the services of girls for dancing and worse purposes at hotels up the country. Now the storm should be turned on those who seek to supply girls for the same purpose from a neighbouring colony, for what the fate of girls who will stoop to accept a situation at some of the cafes will be needs no prophet to predict. The sooner a law is passed by which these places can be put down the better. — Melbourne paper. A meeting of the shareholders of the Junc tion Gold -wining Company is advertised to be held on the 30th instant. The Long Drive Gold Mining Company advertise for the supply of a quantity of timber, &c.

We learn that the Auckland Provincial Coun cil is to be summoned to meet on the 26th proximo. The Gazette containing the an nouncement will appear to-day. A good deal of work will have to be done during the ses sion, and members may, therefore,look forward to a good amount of work.

Last evening a meeting of Germans was held in the large room of the Auckland Hotel, Mr. Bucholz (German Consul) in the chair. Messrs. Luks, Hagen, and Buske, delegates upon the Thames, were added t.> the com mittee. A good deal of discussion took place on the subject of tho address, and it was ultimately resolved that it should be drawn up by the committee as soon as possible, in order to be submitted to a general meeting, to be held on the 3rd of October. If it is then approved of, it will be signed by the committee, on behalf of the Germans in the province of Auckland, and forwarded to the Fatherland, as a proof of their loyalty and attachment to the German cause, and as an expression of their sympathy with their breth ren now engaged in the struggle. The sub scriptions collected on behalf of the wounded, the widows, and orphans will be sent by the same mail, leaving here on the 7th prox. After the committee had received several sub scriptions, the meeting was adjourned until the 3rd October. We understand that the amount already collected is about £50; but this sum will, of course, be largely augmented before the departure of the mail.

ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. « ST. KILDA.'

LATER FROM WANGANUI. TnE s.s. St. Kilda, Captain Flowerday, arrived in the Manukau this morning from Wanganui. She brings papers to the 20th inst., but they contain no news of importance. We take the following items from the Chronicle: — Flax Mill Burned. —We are sorry to hear that the flax mill recently erected at the Duck Ponds by Mr. Ritchie, was totally de stroyed by fire on Saturday last. A spark from the flue of the chimney was carried by the wind into some inflammable matter, igniting the same, and the flames soon spread all over the premises. The portable engine was saved, but the value of the other property destroyed is estimated at £250.

Mb. Fox. —We believe that Mr. Fox in tends to visit this district by the return trip of the Wanganui. He will then proceed to Rangitikei, to relax from the cares of State, and attend to his private business. It is not unlikely that the Waitotara settlers will pre sent him with a testimonial in token of their gratitude and esteem for his conduct in the compensation matter.

Gattlb b'.vMs. —Mr. W. Finnimoro reports having sold at Curlyle, on 15th inst., about 150 head of cattle and horses at the following rales :—Yearling calves, £2 l'ls Csl ; two-year old heifer», £3 19s ; two and three-year old steers, £4 18s Gd ; cow?, £G, £5 17s (3d, £5, £1 12s fid, £•_. 13s Gd, and £3 10s each ; hoises, £3 12s GJ, and £0 17s Gd each. The cattle offered were in a very poor condition, and the prices realised were extreme rates.

BABY-FARMING.—HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES.

Oue social iniquities are being unveiled in a manner that puts to shame our vaunted superiority. The last discovery is that there exists among us, under the suggestive name of baby-farming, the systematic practice of infanticide. Within the last few weeks several bodies of infants were found in the south of London, in baskets, or wrapped in articles of clothing, or in, paper coverings but no clue could be obtained to the persons, responsible for them, except that atone recent inquest the name of "Mrs. Waters" was found to be written on the piece of paper in which a child was wrapped. Happily, a police sergeant bethought himself of an advertisement which pointed to the neighbourhood, and although appearing in a weekly journal of large circulation, seemed to intelligent eyes to tell the tale too clearly. It ran as follows : — " Adoption.—A good home, with a mother's love and care, is offered to any respect able person wishing her child to be entirely adopted. Premium £5, which sum includes everything. Apply, by letter only, to Mrs. Oliver, Post-oiice, Grove-place Brixton." The s rgeant accordingly ap plied, and was answered by Mrs. Oliver in terms of yearning affection. It would give her great pleasure to adopt the gentleman's little boy, if not too old, and she wishes for one as young as possible, " that it may know none but ourselves as its parents. We are 1 oth,\ she says, " very fond of children ; and should you intrust your little one to my care, you may rely upon his receiving the care and love of a mother." A meeting was appointed at a railway station, when the woman who came gave the name of Ellis. After this interview, the sergeant traced her to a house in Brixton ; and from this house he traced her to her house in the neighbourhood a young woman who had lately given birth to an illegitimate child. With this clue he was enabled to take open action, and the father of the young woman ac companying him to " Mrs. Ellis's" house, the child was, after some denials, produced— "dreadfully emaciated and apparentlj dying" — indeed, it is since dead. The sergeant then went down stairs, and found on a sofa in the front kitchen, " five infants about three or four weeks old, all huddled together covered over with gowns and shawls. They were quiet and asleep, very dirty, and appeared to be neglected; two of them appeared to be dying. Further investigations followed, which terminated in the arrest of two women, sisters, who were known by various aliases, one of which was the name of " Waters," dis covered on the paper before alluded to. In all, 10 children were found, of whom four have siuce died. The doctor's evidence ex plains their condition: " There were 10 infants from three weeks old up to three

months.

Some were emaciated ;

some were healthy. There was very little chance of the children living with such food as he found supplied to them. One of the children was under the influence of a nar cotic. On a table in one of the rooms he found a bottle labelled ' Paregoric Elixir.' "

The Treasury have taken up the case, and not without good reason. It is said that tho woman Waters has had forty children placed in her charge within the last four years. Several mothers have come forward aud testified to the manner in which they have been deceived. The letters produced show a free use of all the terms of parental affection. " We have," writes this Mrs. Waters, under the signature of Watson, to one inquirer, " a nice home and every comfort, and are very fond of children. Why we so much desire a young child is that it may know no other love that ours, and always look upon us ai its parents. We are not unmindful of the heavy responsibility we incur iv adopting a baby as our own, and in doing so should strictly consider its happiness and comfort, and promise that its future should be well provided for." Other correspondence fol lowed, a reference was given to an accom plice, and the child was surrendered, £2 only being paid towards its expenses. Mrs. Watson would give no address, on the plea that her husband objected. When the child's friends wrote subsequently, through this referee, to inquire how it was getting ou, they received for answer:—"The lovely boy talks and coos, tells us tales, cies very little, eats well, is always happy, sleeps like a little top by our bedside in a cradle, and only has two bottles all night. I love him very much and his papa is foolish over him. He is such company for me." Yet this child cannot now be traced ; such is a sample of this woman's procedure.

A young girl who was in service at the house where the " Baby Farm" wa3 discov ered states that during the three months she had been in service four children were taken away. Two were taken away at 10 o'clock at night, and were brought back at 12, the pri soners saying they had been late for the train. But the next night they were again taken away, and the prisoner., returned without them, " saying that they had been taken „honie." This girl had fetched several letters from "Mrs! Oliver." She has been sent to buy laudanum, and by " Mrs. Water's" direction lias procured lime, and put it into the infants' food. She states that no child died while she was there, but she identifies several of the articles found with the dead infants as having been used in the house, and worn by one of the children now rescued and sent to the workhouse.

A coroner's inquest has been held over the emaciated little corpses of tho children who have died since the police took up the matter, and a verdict of " manslaughter" returned, but this falls short, of public opinion, which sees more than a cruel negligence in the manner in which these hapless little ones have been disposed of.
