«o simple a proposition. Moreover, we are all familiar with the fact that all purely correlative cataplasms by the mere force of the euphemistic stamina inevitably collide with the herbaceous and icono clastic. So that although graminivorous pleonasms may at times (but very rarely] relegate all zodiacal taxidermy to the region of the liquescent, still the schismatic aorta so cherished by the sciolists preserves its refrigerant metempsychosis in statu quo. And this i» doubtless why the cetaceous monoliths of the Etruscan period baffled the gyratory l of the most cultured polygons i, } oiown to saponaceous osteology. _^pthing is more certain than that the jiermal colocynth of conjunctive apo crypha, when blended with spheroid phenomena, elevates the argillaceous and ephemeral atom into the hermetical domain of osculation; a view clearly held by Praxiteles in his masterly essay on the •' Integra Cura." With the exception of the trifling errors of judgment alluded to I consider the the reporter's critique was superb, and I will conclude by expressing my surprise at the temerity of your two correspondents in presuming to criticise a style of com position so far above the comprehension of common mortals.—l am, &c, Coup-dc- Geace.

STAINES.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sih, —There are some men who talk so long on a subject that they at last believe what they say to be truth. Our so-called "champion" is one of those who would fain make believe he was the man who got the city relieved from its debt. I understand he had as much to do with it as the man in the moon. I think if he had stopped in the last asylum he visited so late at night it would have been a great saving to the public and the ratepayers. He certainly speaks the truth when he says he worked to get Wellesley street made when he lived there, and Upper Queen street when he removed there. He further states he had got the office of returning officer at £25 per annum abolished. This is not true. He succeeded in introducing black guardism and rowdy conduct into the late City Board, and made our local Govern ment a sham and a by-word. He succeeds by flattering tho vanity of one of our ignorant, wealthy, and niggardly men ; and, I suppose, promising him he shall be allowed to empty his own closets, in obtaining his support, and of another philanthropist by a promise to oppose the smoke nusiance by-law, and save tho great man a little expense ; the remainder may be, considered among those who support him for fun, and last but not least, Beer! — 1 am, &c, Poob John.

CITY COUNCIL.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —In these slack times when money is scarce, and it behoves every one to economise funds whether they be public or private, I think our City Council should either secure the services of a properly qualified legal practitioner as town clerk or do away with the office altogether. The case against Sandall seems to have fallen through entirely through informality in the proceedings. I do not see the joke of paying £300 a year for nothing. This case was remanded upon the first hearing, and sufficient time was allowed for amending the information ; but it was not done. An old saw says, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," and it would appear that the smat tering of law possessed by the present Town Clerk only leads to difficulty and defeat in cases where the Inspector of Nuisances /takes great pains to do his duty. I think that the Court expenses, when a case falls through by either incompetence or carelessness, should be charged to the officer who fails in his duty.—Yours, &c, A Ratepayer.

RATS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sib, —It seems to me by looking over your last night Star That you are just a going a little bit to far. The Majority of the names which you Apply to Are not the ragamuffuns of Auckland Which you have stated them to be Perhaps there the very far seeing block who has said so much he may 3ee doubble His eys may multyply like Which I haive heard say the Horses does I think sir if you would only look about you own knnel And then talk about ragamuffuns you would not then require to go very far away For Something which I think you seem to have great tast for one thing I have been always able and ■willing to pay my rats I can look every man streaight in the face either at > home or abroad And can even say I don't own you a penney Perhaps that is moer than the writer of last nights news can say I am of an opionion that those whom you desinate to be ragamuffuns Are the fore mast to pay there rats who are- of Sound iudgemen And quite Oapeable of chasing there own candidate.—Wm. Furlong, Queen street, [We of course do not call a person of our corres pondent's character a "ragamuffum." we are giaa to hear he " pays his rats." It is a very proper thing to do ; especially when they are of the kind described We hope, however, they will not be allowed to hurt Mr Staines.—Ed. J5.5.]

DREADFUL SUICIDE OF A GREEN HARP DIRECTOR.

Great excitement prevailed last evening in the city in consequence of a report—which proved to be true —that one of the directoi'S of the Green Harp Gold Mining Company had committed suicide by taking strychnine. The following are the particulars of this sad case, as far as at present can be ascertained : —Mr John William Cazaly, lately from Mel bourne, was suddenly taken ill at his resi dence in Grey-street, about six o'clock in the evening. He had been a man of considerable means, and had speculated in the Green Harp, of which company, at the last annual meeting, he was elected a director, and be came a very large shareholder. In Australia, we learn, Mr Cazaly occupied a good position, and was considered a man of much practical experience in mining matters. Shortly after six o'clock his wife found him apparently very ill; he had, up to this time, been in perfect health. Mrs Cazaly became alarmed, and sent for Dr. Hooper, the medical attendant of the family, who was not at home. Dr. Kennedy was then sent for. He attended at once, and from the symptoms of the patient (cramp in the stomach, pains in the back, and a peculiar appearance of the features), he was of opinion that strychnine had been taken. He imme diately procured from his house the necessary emetics and antidotes, but on his return he found that Mr Cazaly was dead.

INQUEST.

An inquest was keld on the body at tha Naval and Family Hotel, Pitt street, this afternoon, by Dr Philson, coroner, and a respectable jury consisting of Messrs David Olpkert (foreman), G. Flynn, 11. Dale, J. Holloway, A. Alexander, H. W. Simes, James Davies, A. Bruce, Cr. Mapstone, C. Burke, J. Webster, D. McPherson, L. Eobertson, J. "Warren, T. Walker, G. Garrett, and J. Hanson ; in all seventeen. The usual oath having been administered to the jurymen they proceeded, accompanied by the Coroner, to view the body. On their return the folloAving evidence was taken : Clarissa Cazaly, widow of William James Cazaly, the deceased, deposed on oath, as follows :—My husband was an accountant, aged 153 years, residing in Grey-street. The deceased usually enjoyed good health, but latterly he had been in a very depressed state of mind, caused by over speculation in mining matters, more especially in Green Harps, with which company he was connected. First noticed his depression after the expos ure of the company's affairs, when deceased found that he was a heavy loser. He was not excited, but more in a lethargic state. He always avoided talking of his affairs, anil never knew him to consult with any one. During the last few days he appeared more than usually depressed, and I believe that his reason became somewhat affected. On Friday last he went to Captain Casey and asked him to interest himself to procure him the post of secretary to the Harbour Board. Captain Casey told him he was too old, and j spoke harshly to him. This remark preyed upon his mind, and he came home and said , that because he was old he supposed he must either starve or die. (Here the witness became very much affected). Yesterday he went into town in the morning, and returned about noon; dined at one o'clock. Had a nap, and read a mamoir afterwards. He was a very temperate man, and never touched spirituous liquors. I went out in the afternoon and returned at about twenty minutes to six. The deceased was lying on the bed in the room in which the jury had now seen him. He appeared weary and depressed, but said he felt quite well. A quarter of an hour afterwards my daughter heard him groaning, and 1 went up to him. He was in great agony. I asked him the cause, and if he had eaten anything. He said he had not. Afterwards he screamed out in great agony, and said two or three times "Oh, I'm too old to live ! I'm too old to live ! I've hay« taken strychnine." There was no strych nine in the house before yesterday, and he must have procured it when he went out in the inorning. I gave him cold water, believing it to be an antidote, and he drank about a pint. I poured it down hia throat through a funnel. He kept asking for more. His limbs were not rigid. The reason I used the funnel was because it was handy, and he could not raise himself to drink from the vessel. When I first came in the room the deceased begged me to send for the'cloctor. I sent for Dr. Hooper; he was out, and Dr. Kennedy was then sent for and he came. The deceased was calmer when Dr Kennedy arrived, and we told him him what he had taken. The doctor then left to fetch some medicine. He returned in about twenty minutes, but by that time my husband was dead ; Dr Hooper came in at the same time. I did not witness any further paroxyisms, and he went off calmly at last. He vomited a little before he died. He did not speak further on any subject. My daughter Mary Ann was present at the time. I had no suspicion that the deceased contemplated self-destruction, nor can I believe it now. He was not sensible at the time of his death. Dr. Kennedy did not as ask him anything — he only felt his pulse. He had formerly suffered from cramp in his hands, and was recommended by the doctors at Sydney to try change of air. That was the reason we came here; when he was thrown into these mining speculation. l After his death I searched his drawers and i found a bottle containing a white powder, and labelled strychnine—"Poison." It was half full. The chemist's name was not on the I label.
