The Evening Star. MONDAY, MAY 29, 1871.

One of those sadder phases of our social life which occasionally appear, was presented in our Police Court to-day, when two very young children ap peared to answer a charge of burglary. The cases arc remanded, but as this is not for enquiry into the truth, but in the interests of mercy, we are warranted in drawing attention to the circumstances. One child is about "nine years of age, and the other seven, but either from neglect or some other cause, they both presented a much younger ap pearance. They were found to have broken a window, chisselled out the glass, and having so effected an en trance, to have carried off a large quantity of articles. What to do with children-experts in the most serious class of crime is a question difficult to solve, and the Court was fairly nonplussed. If convicted, as it was apparent they must be if the charge were pressed, the doors of the Neglected and Destitute Children's School are closed against them, and in the absence of a Reformatory they must go and herd with the hardened crimiuak at Mouni Eden. Surely to make provision for such a case would not over-tax the ingenuity of our legis lators and social reformers. It should be no more expense subjecting chil dren to punishment suited to their offences and their tender years in a place set apart for the purpose than to carry out the same discipline iv cir cumstances which will constitute for children literally a school of crime. The Neglected and Destitute Children's Asylum, or the Industrial School, as it appears to be indifferently called, is excellent so far as it goes, and as a preventive to vicious habits is, per haps, even more hopeful of good re sults. But the difficulty in the way of punishing children that are really found transgressing the law, aud especially those evincing an aptitude for| one of the worst forms of crime, is one that should not continue. If offenders such as those poor little un fortunates that appeared in the Police Court to-day are punished with im prisonment, law and justice may be satisfied, but criminal tendency will be simply further developed. If they are discharged, impunity is held out to juvenile crime, the benefits of which will be availed of, not by children alone, but by those who are ready to guide them in paths of vice. This position of affairs -is one that really demands attention, and we trust that the frequency and apparent increase in child-criminals wilt receive that prompt treatment which is due to a pjhase of criminality fraught with so important results.

We are glad to hear that a drama is about to he produced on the boards of the Theatre Royal, which, if report speaks truly, is one of great merit. It has local authorship; the pen that produced it being one the productions of which are familiar to most of the people of Auckland. As the author has not only the pen of a ready writer, but the ability and the dramatic skill which should insure success, we anticipate that the drama, the scene of which is laid, we believe, in the metropolis of the world, but embellished with local allu sions, will merit the eulogiums which we have already heard expressed.*

The habit of sleeping in church (observes the Daily Melbourne Telegraph) is one which has come to be looked upon as a right of the in dividual. In all probability this has arisen in consequence of the frequency of the practice for it has long been a recognised fact that the average sermon is a better soporific than any thing clso in nature. The line, however should be drawn at sleeping ; and when a member of a congregation claims a right to snore, he goes beyond that line,and renders himself amenable to the censure of churchwardens. A man named James Rea, was taught this truth at Trinity Church, Sandridge, on Sunday. He snored,'and when shaken up lost his temper and used naughty words, for which he was brought before the Sandridge Bench on Mon day. The Bench seemed to think that the in terior of a church was a public place within the meaning of the Act, aud the man was dis charged.

j A fatal accident of a most shocking charac ter occurred on Thursday List, at a village called Wickham, about two miles from New castle, to a young man named Andrew Cross ley, engaged as a workman at Mr. Cameron's saw mills. It appeared that the deceased \r_r_ standing in the bench, where a circular saw was revolving at full speed. He addressed a few words to a boy near him, who did not notice him further, and then by some means or other fell across the saw. lie made no cry, nor did anyone see him fall, but a crash ing sound was heard by a man who was by, and on his looking round he saw the unfor tunate lad lying across the saw apparently lifeless. Ho was immediately taken off, and presented a frightful spectacle, being almost sawn in two.— JS'ewpastle Chronicle, May 19. A man named William Bird, working in the employ of the Nonpareil Company, was arrested this morning by Detective Murphy, on a charge of stealing specimens from that mine. Bird has been for the Inst fortnight employed ;>s boss of a shift, and was in charge of the shift which came off at eight o'clock this morning. Previous to their leaving work, the manager went into the mine ts usual, to take charge of the specimens broken out before the shift changed. Bird left the mine, and on proceeding to his house, which i 3 close by, at the other side of the creek, lie was met by Detective Murphy and a constable and searched, when a few small stones were found in his waistcoat pocket. He was at once taken in charge. He stated to the manager that he had found the stones while up in the stopes, and had put them into his pocket, intending to place them in the bdx when he came down, but a stream of water having broken into the mine from a neigh bouring shaft in the meantime, took off his attention, and he forgot all about them in consequenco when he was leaving the minf.- Bird has been for a long time in the emplcy of the company, having been at work iv the mine long before the present manager took charge, and previous to that had worked in the Golden Crown and Eureka mines. Be was always looked on as a respectable, hard working man, attentive to-his business, and it was in consequence of this that he had been appointed to the charge of a shift a shojt time ago. The accused was brought up this morning and remauded.—Thames Mail, 27th instant.

Albuknia. —This claim is now assuming a position it is fairly, entitled to; but as many of your readers are not aware of the extent and value of the ground held by this company, I have taken the I rouble to ascertain the fol lowing facts, which I am sure will be read with interest. This company bears the original name with which it commenced operations, but except in name, the whole of its belong ings havd been changed—none of the original dircctc rs remain, and few of the original shareholders. The ground originally held bj' the Alburnia Company was seven men's ground ; now the company holds about 80 men's ground, acquired from time to time t>v purchase for cash aud by amalgamation iii exchange for shares in the company. The area now held by the company comprises the following claims: — . . Men's ground. Original Alburnia ... ... ... 7 Pride of the West Q Alburnia and Pride of the West No. 2 16 Success, which includes the original Point in View and Star of the Nortli 18 Star of the South, Papatoctoe, and Car penters' claims ... ... ... 20 Ballarat Star, Clyde, with surplus ground taken up, at least 13

Making a total of about ... 80 men's ground, upon which the company have crushing plant of fifteen head of stamps, to which the company are about to add five head of stamps and a new boiler. The lode upon which they are now working their richest and best stone, is the celebrated Dixon's reef, and branches from it. This lode traverses the entire length of the company's ground, and dips into it. The underlie, it is calculated, will not leave the ground at a depth of 1000 feet. Besides this lode, other well-known reefs traverse the ground—the Black Angel reef supposed to be identical with the Middle Star reef ; the leaders and reefs worked in the Star of the North and Point in View, formerly with good results ; and also the reefs worked in the Star of the South, Carpenters', Clyde, and Ballarat Star. The shares originally issued in the Alburnia were 2100, but siuce iucreased for the purposes of amalgamation to 3,700, and an agreement now exists for the issue of further shares for ground recently taken in, which will make the total number of shares in this company up to 4000. The directors are Messrs. T. Russell, S. Browning, W. C. Wilson, William Howe, and William Morrin. The information I have thus given may, I think, justify my recent com ments on this mine, and satisfy the share holders that they have a most valuable pro perty. I make no further comments. The . foregoing facts will speak for themselves.

THE SHARE MARKET.

Mr. Martin Sholl reports as follows :— Very little business done. Caledouians in demand early in the day at £125 ex div.; sold at £133, ex div., and subse quently at an advance; transactions small. Ballarat and Rising Sun sold readily at 18s; Thames, £32, buyers at £32^ 10s. Inverness offered. Buyers of Belfast, Kelly, Poverty, aud Una, at re duced prices.

The European Mail says:—The Hon. .J. Vogel, Colonial Treasurer and Postmaster- Geueral of New Zealand, was a passenger by the Royal Mail , steamer Russia, which arrived at Liverpool, on March 18, from New York. In America Mr. Vogel concluded with Mr. "H. W. Webb, the well-knhwn shipowner and builder, of New York, a contract for the running of a 28-day mail service from New Zealand to Sau Francisco, touching at a port in the Hawaiian or Sand wich group. Steamers of over 2,000 tons burden are to be used, and the line will be in all respects a permanent replacement of the merely temporary one which has been running so successfully for the. last twelve months. Mr. Vogel proceeded from Liverpool, on March 18, to London, where he has important financial business connected with the colony to transact.

False Pretences. — G. H. Evans was charged by W. B. Pierce, of Robinson and Pierce, with having obtained from him by false pretences one pound.—W. B. Pierce de posed : I am a restaurant-keeper in Queen street. Prisoner came to our place on Friday morning, about half-past twelve. He was playing dice. He went away and returned about twenty minutes afterwards, aud asked me for chauge of a one pound note. I gave him a half sovereign and four half-crowns. He gave me what I took to be a note, and I put it in my pocket. The cook of the restau rant was present and called me out of the room, and from what he told me I returned into the room again. The prisoner was still there. I asked him for my money as the note was no good. I threw it on the table. The document u'jw pm.luced ij the one. It was a second of a bill of exchange, I laid the one half on the table. The ether half I subse quently found iv my pockc!. He took the half in his hand aud said I need not try to pass a dummy on him. He asked me where was the other half.—Cross-examined by Mr. Joy: I was playing dice. I was a loser to the extent of 3s. —(His Worship cited the Act bearing on gambling in refresh ment houses, and drew tha attention of the police to the admission ju3t made.) —The examination by Mr. Joy was continued at considerable length, to throw doubt on the allegation of the document hav ing been received from prisoner, witness hav ing various sums of money on him at the time. —John Antonio Smith, cook in the restaurant of Robinson and Pierce, gave similar evidence. —W. Ackland deposed to prisoner having come into the kitchen on the night in ques tion and asked any one for a pound, offering to give 25s for it on Saturday.—W. White, waiter in the place, gave similar evidence as to prisoner wanting money from those in the kitchen. —Sergeant Jeffrey deposed that on meeting prisoner in the guard-room, he had said ho did not care about the charge, that the note he had given Pierce was a good one. —Mr. Joy addressed the Court in reply.— His Worship showed how this case had arisen from prosecutor keeping a gambling-house, aud spoke in very strong terms about the evil done by such places as the resorts of thieves and prostitutes, and called on the police to use the utmost vigilance in the suppression of such pracLices. There could be no doubt that the prosecutor must have known that such a piece of paper was worthless, and desired to share iv the illicit gains of the gambling. Prisoner discharged with a very strong caution.

Larceny.—Thomas Brown was charged with having stolen 120 lbs. of bacon from J. Woodward, value £6. —Kemanded till Thurs day.—James Walker and Simon O'Brien, two very small boys, one of six and the other nine year;?, were charged with having broken into and stolen from the premises of Mr. Eaton, goods to the value of 40s.—His Wor ship expressed the great difficulty he felt in dealing with the case, but could see no course open but to proceed with the case.—Detective Ternahan deposed that he arrested the two children when in bed. In Mr. Eaton's store saw some bananas open.—At this stage His Worship suggested a remand, the two children to be kept in separate ceils. —Remanded till Thursday.

NEW SPECIES OF PARASITE IN THE HUMAN BODY.

There is considerable excitement and alarm *n this city and vicinity on account of the appearance of a strange disease heretofore unknown to physicians, or, at least, to the physicians of Elgiu. The facts are as follow : —

On last Friday week, Mrs. C. W.Daniels, a lady twenty-two years of age, who was married two years ago, aud gave birth to a child eleven months siuce, was prostrated by what seemeA at first to ho the premonitory symptoms of typhoid fever. She had not been very well for some time previous, but nothing serious was anticipated until Sunday, when she was compelled to take to her bed and placei her.-elf under medical treatment.

Dr. A. S. Clark was called in, and, after a careful diagnosis, cauiefto the conclusion that she was attacked with.^ typhoid fever. She complained of pains in her bones and of sore ness in her flesh. Nothing vory unusual, however, was observed until Sunday morning, when _ the milk from her breast attracted attention by its dark colour. Some of it was taken in a bottle to Dr. Clark, for his opinion, and the bearer of it said it looked like the wastings of an ink bottle.

The doctor compared it to very dirty soap suds, which it resembled very much in colour. To make sure that it was not coloured by anything that was in the bottle, the doctor drew some milk from the breast of the patient himself, and found that it was like that which had been shown him. It struck him as being very peculiar, and he could not account for it m any way that would be satisfactory to him seu or to science.

_ Submitiug the fluid to a microscopic exam ination, he found not one-tenth as many milk globules as healthy milk should contain. In it were animalcuire different in sizo and shape from any human parasite of which the doctor had ever heard. They seemed to be some what hexagonal in torm—longer one way than the other. They did not seem to have any

head, but were evidently alive, judging from the way in which they moved about. Their size was estimated by the doctor as varying from one thousandth to five hundred thou sandth of an inch in diameter. The power of the microscope used varied from 150 to 800 diameters, the former power being required to make the insect visible. They were not trichiwe, as the doctor was acquainted with that form of parasite, and the new kind was much smaller, and of an entirely different shape. Authorities were searched, but none of them gave any clue by which they could be identified, and the doctor and those with whom he consulted were compelled to believe they had discovered a new species of human parasite.

Iv the meantime the patient grew worse. She suffered terribly, and complained of sore ness all over her body. Nothing could be done to relieve her. She could not bear a bath, and could hardly brar to be touched. She lingered in agony till yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, when she died. There was some reason at first to believe that the parasites were the product of some disease*)! the breast, and were confined to that locality.. The doctor determined to test the matter, and, anticipating her death, he was prepared to do so. Five minutes after life was extinct, and while the body was still warm, he made an incision in the calf of the leg, and, drawing the lancet, examined the moisture which covered it. He found three of the parasites, only one of which was alive. They were similar, in all respects, to those found in the fluid taken from the breast. He then dis sected the tibialis arteris muscle of the leg, including a small portion of the surrounding flesh. The muscle presented a granular ap pearance, as if covered with grains of sand. These grains, the doctor assumes, were para sites. Ho says that in all his experience nothing like it ever canio under his notice.

The investigations were conducted by Dr. Clark, assisted by Dr. Tyrrel, and neither of them, nor any of the faculty who have been asked their opinion, are able to explain the presence of what they regard as parasitical phenomena. Further examination of the muscle will be made, aud it is expected that some light will be shed upon what is now a mystery. Dr. Clark thinks that the parasites hastened death, if they were nob the immedi ate cause. While some of the symptoms of typhoid remained to the end, they were aggravated—the pains and soreness and throbbing especially ; and death came sooner and more suddenly thau in cases of unmistak able typhoid.

The baby had beeu pining some time before his mother took sick, but as soon as he was weaned he recovered his health, aud is now more robust than ever. He was not weaned until his mother was confined to her bed. The doctor reports that he examined the child's blood, which was perfectly healthy.

No theory has been found as to the cause of the parasites, aud the skill and knowledge of the physicians seems to be entirely at fault, The patient had not eaten the pork, or any thing that was kuowu to be infected iv any way. The case is almost an isolated one. Typhoid has been very prevalent here for some time past, but, with the exception of two or perhaps three cases, no symptoms have been developed similar to those described, and in the exceptions nothing positive has been seen. — Chicago Tribune.
