THE DAKOTA.

As this steamer may be expected hourly to arrive it may be well that we should give a little word of warning. Much inconvenience has been caused, and mischief may result from people rushing on board these vessels before they are cleared by the Health Officer. There is a penalty attaching to thisjoffence' and we are authorized to state that the law willf rom this hour forth le stringently enforced Although neither Honolulu nor San Fran cisco has at present, so far as we are aware any infectious disease, this in the mean time will not affect the case, and though by a res^tion just passed the Board of Health eF I ISF the intenti°n of ultimately modi fy X.. ae stringency, the General Govern mt.it intends to keep the rule in force in respect of' all vessels arriving in the colony. However, through the intervention of the agents of the steamer, we are glad to see that the inconvenience will be reduced to ii minimum, for oh the advice of Mr Seed Secretary of Customs, now in the city, the Steamers; ihstead of being stopped off the North Head, will be taken right up to the anchorage, where they can be more promptly visited b^Jhe Health Officer. Tlie following (No. 27) is the clause of the Harbour Board Regulations bearing on the subject above re ferred to, and we warn every one that its utmost penalty will be enforced :—"27. No waterman or other person in charge of any boat, steamer, oi lighter, shall go alongside or otherwise communicate with, anchao per son shall go on board of, any vessel arriving in port, except officers on duty and persons who hold a written authority from the Su perintendent until such vessel has been moored or secured by at least one anchor, and has been cleared by the Health Officer or the officer acting as such, nor shall any person quit any vessel so entering any port until she has been moored, and cleared by the Health Officer as aforesaid, and any per son offending against this regulation shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds."

Eapid Growth—A Cincinnati paper publishes the following, which is probably from " Mark Twain," and is one of a class of stories that seem to find a good demand in the United States :—" A man in Det roit gave me some idea of the richness of soil in that vicinity. He said there was'nt any place on earth where things grew as they do there. He said his wife never made bread. She always made little biscuits the size of an egg, and she would leave 'em an hour to swell by themselves and tbey would-grow into 121b loaves. I thought to myself, you are a loaf-er. He continued his growing tale, and said ' Once there was a man.' He went into the woods and chopped down four trees. He used the four stumps for corner posts and he built him a nice log house on those stumps. Then he and his family went to bed in the house. The next morning he found himself and family up 60ft. in the air, with a lot of Indians down below waiting to cut their hair off, and the Indians did scalp the whole of 'em.' • Stranger,' said I, ' you don,t mean to tell me those trees crew 60 feet in one night.' ' Sir I do,' says he, ' and not only that, they hoisted the house up with 'em.' 'Are you sure it wasn't 61ft.?' I asked meekly, ' Sir, said he, I never pre varicate, especially on one foot.' •So they took and scalped 'em all, did they ?' ' They did,' said he. ' How, in the name of who had the little lamb did they get up to 'em ?' I asked. Says he, ' Respected sir those Indians each one sawed off a tree, then each Indian sat on a stump, and those stumps grew the Indians got up to the house, and then they scalped the family.' It certainly was the greatest case of up a tree I ever heard of. 'Stranger that story is pretty tough, but I believe it, because I know something about growing trees, and I know they grow darned fast sometimes. My father had some good soil on his place ; good soil for trees. He couldn't afford to keep a dog, because there was so many of us young 'uns. •H« had to boil what bones was left to make soup for us. He had some trees, and in the place of a dog he kept some of the bark ofi'those trees in the house to scare away the robbers because that bark would last all night. One day I used some of the wood to make some toothpicks, and as sure as sour allspice, stranger, those toothpicks grew so that next day I sold them for telegraph poles and they had to be sawed into before they could be used.'* The stranger got up. Says I ' Where are you going ?' Says he, • Good day sir.' Says I, ' Good day. sir.'" At a meeting in Manchester, last year, of tlie Society for carrying on Palestine Explorations, the Rev. H. Geary said, the excavations which had been made had revealed some interesting facts. No fewer than nine synagogues had been found in Galilee. These buildings were all rec tangular in shape. They were built from north to south, thus looking towards Jerusalem, and devided into aisles by very massive columns standing close to gether. In most cases the columns stood in rows of seven, which was a sacred number among the Jews. On the top of the columns were very strong supports for the roof, which .was often covered with sods and earth, to keep out the heat Outside the building was a porch with three doorways, that in the middle being the largest, the lintels of which were ornamented with carved designs of Old Testament symbols, as the pascal lamb and th seven-branched candlestick. The carving over the door of what there was every reason to believe was the synagogue of Capernaum in which our Lord preached was a pot of manna, and Aron's rod that budded. Tbey read in St. Johns Gospel that J^sus,.r,»fi|, "Your fathers did eat maraflif l'jjwat#dead, in the synagogue as he taught in Capernaum." With regard to Jerusalem, the interest attaching to the city had led to many erroneous opin ions about it. For insance, in respect to its size—he was very sorry that he was not sufficiently acquainted with Manches ter to compare its area with a portion of this city; but four streets in London that enclosed an area equal to that of Jer usalem were well known. Starting from Park Lane, on the east of Hyde Park, •nd proceeding along Picadilly to the corner of Bond street, up Bond street to Oxford street, and up Oxford street to the Marble Arch, a person would walk round a space that would contain the whole of Jerusalem. The Jerusalem of the Bible was from2ofeet tolsofeetinsomeinstances under the present city. At that distance they had discovered what was once in the light of day. This could only be account ed for on the ground that Jerusalem was the city of sieges. Seventeen times had shebeen besieged, while she has been twice totally and twice partially destroyed The discoveries already made justified the

I belief that Herod's porch to the temple was as long and as lofty as York Minster and set on a rock as high as a church steeple. The Jews seem to have made considerable advances in respect to two of the leading questions of; the present day the utilisation of sewage, and the water supply of large towns. The sewage of Jerusalem was cast out at a place in the neighbourhood of which were the remains ot gardens and orchards. The water supply was brought by an aqueduct, which, with its windings through the valley, was fort in length. The Government of South Australia has spent on immigration, within the last ten . years, nearly a quarler of a million of money, the total result of which has been to secure to the colony the permanent residence of only about 4,000 souls, at a cost of rather over £50 per head. The , balance has been spent for the benefit of j Victoria, into which colony the maioritv ot the immigrants drifted.

The returns of the sales of the different sewing machines, during the year 1871, show the Singer machine to be by far the most popular of all in the market, the number sold being 181,260, out of a total of 010 IP4 of twenty-five different patterns. It appears, too, that the Chicago Relief Committee, which undertook to furnish sewino- machines to persons needing them, supplied 2,427 Singer machines against 517 of all other kinds. This preference for the Singer machine is due to its intrinsic superiority, and seems likely to be maintained against all competition.— jtfeto York Sun.

REED & BRETT'S AUCKLAND ALMANAC HOUSEHOLD GUIDE, STRANGERS' "vADE MECUM Foe 187 3. WE beg to intimate that we are engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for he Province of Auckland for the year 1873, which will be issued early in December of the present year. Without reflecting on any previous productions in this special field of literature, we believe that we can produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet attained by any local Almanac. It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel ; confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households, and offices, and more nearly attain to the correct ideal of a Provincial "Book " Almanac than anything of the kind that has yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. T\e information contained will be extensive and carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy the most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort ment of new and ornamental type, and the advantages of our steam printing machinery will enable us to produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is not likely to be equalled in the district. We can therefore confidently recommend this Annual as affording the best advertising medium. Although the first year of issue the numerous agencies and correspondents of the Evening Star will provide a medium for bringing the work immediately into ■ contact with residents in every part of the province, and, as far as maybe practicable, in other parts of the colony. Mr. 11. Ridings is the only person authorised to collect advertisements. REED & BRETT. Evening Star office, Sept. 20, 1872. |CHEAP SEWING- MACHINES. CHEAP SEWING MACHINES.
