It struck me that if every resident made a lumber-yard of the suburban streets opposite their premises that they would be entirely useless as thorough fares, especially at night, when one most needs a short cut, not to speak of the untidy apppurance it imparts to a neigh bourhood-n^urther on in the same street I observers j sort of timber-yard, but this a gully Jofents from becoming an after dark thr ; hfare.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

At the adjourned meeting of the Central Board of Education yesterday,—His Honor the Superintendent in the chair. Present: Messrs Lusk, Swanson, Clark and Hurst. The reports of the Reserve Committee, the Committee on the Grammar School Scholarships, the Examination Committee, and School Inspector were read and adopted. An allowance of £5 was granted to the Opotiki school for a supply of maps and books. The request of £10 to the sewing mistress at Gisbourne was granted ; also £20^ to the teacher at Tararu; and £20 additional to the yearly salary of £130, making £150 to Mr Ross, of Papakura. A number of applications for grants from Omaha, Kaio, Whiriwhiri, Pararaki, and other districts were post poned for future consideration. The accounts' rendered were passed, and cheques signed for their liquidation. The Board then adjourned.

SOMETHING LIKE REJOICING.

A correspondent of the Times calls the attention of a humane and civilised people to a most excellent bit of fun which was enacted the other day by some jovial naval officers at Portland. He says when the Prince of "Wales went there to open the new breakwater the weather was so bois terous, that the programme of the Eoyal proceeding's had to be" changed; but although the winds effected this change, the yards of fifteen ironclads and one trainingrship were manned three times over. What followed was very laughable. He says, " The third time the poor fellows were kept in this perilous position for more Ijhan half an hour. Then cold and trembling they all came down but two —a sad exception ;.these two had fallen from the yards on to the decks of their ships dead." This was extremely amusing—and all done in honor *of the prince! What jolly fellows those naval officers are to be sure, they almost recall to one's mind that facetious King of Abyssinia—that cheer ful old Theodore, whom we sent an army out after, you know, and who used, when, he felt especially jolly, to have a drove of niggers brought before him so that he might-slice at them right and left with his sabre, and send their jroolly heads rolling abuat like skittles.. Then there was that that merry old King of Bonny, who had the beggars killed in hundreds whenever he had a piiblic rejoicing—and capital sport it must have been to be sure ; hut then you see Theodore and the King of Bonny were somewhat coarse in their fun, they wanted the refinement of the English navy. Chopping is all very well in its way, but there is a certain vulgarity in it; aiid again, to kill the skunks that way, requires, exertion on somebody's part, but nothing can be more refined and easy than ordering the amusing cusses up to the yards in the biting wind, and seeing them drop with the cold one by one like so manj rooks potted off with a shot gun. ■ Yes, England is the place for re finement and civilization, and for real hearty rejoicing. _ What fun it must have been to see those two big strong-hearted fellows who would have died like lions in the enemy's face, nipped to death with an icy wind, and falling with a dull thud on the deck, lifeless lumps of vulgar clay. Howitheir commanding officers must have laughed, how it must have tickled the sides of the wives and children, or sweethearts and mothers of the brave fellows, to think that they had died in honor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The Hornet was never more amused in his life, he is in convulsions, he i positively screams with delight, and nothing but the thought that the poor -wretch's mother or somebody might miss him prevents him decapitating bis office hoy or pitching him out of the window into Fleet street in joyous honor of The Hornet's new volume. Next seeing that glorious naval exhibition itself, The Hornet would give all its back numbers to see the officers who gave the orders for it humorously manning those yards them selves on' the very next day the wind blows icy and dealthy. How he would scream to be sure. Here, "bring me a cup .of 'blood I Ha,' ha !— London Hornet.

ROMANCE OP THE WIRES.

The telegraph wires has it* romance ai well as the law court, and may be made, according to the' Echo, a. talented half penny journal issued by Cassell & Co. We re-echo the, Echo's telegraphic story:— Mr. Sc^amore's report on the telegraph i» notra/j Mly a novel, and yet it contains a romance of the newest and most original description. After telling us how success ful he has found the system of.eraploying male and female clerks together, how much the tone of the men had been raised by the association, and how well the women perform the cheeking or fault . finding branches of the work, he goes on to speak of friendships formed between clerks at either end of a telegraph wire. They be gin by chatting in the interrals of their work, and very soon become fast friends. "It is a fact," continues Mr. Schudamore, " that a telegraph clerk in London, who was engaged on a wire to Berlin, formed an acquaintance with and attachment for"—mark the official style of the language—" a female who worked on the same line in Berlin ; that he made a proposal of marriage to her, and that she accepted him without haying seen him. They were married, and the marriage result ing from their electric affinities is sup posed to w have turned out as well as hose, in" which the senses are more pparently concerned." Nor must the

prudent reader run away with the idea that these young persons were very rash, or that they were married •without due acquaintance. " For it is a fact that a clerk at one end of a wire can readily tell by the way in which the clerk at the other end does his work whether he is passionate or sulky, eheerl ful or dull, sanguine or phlegmatic, ill natured or good-natured." In truth courtship by telegraph would seem to have some advantages which the more ordinary forms do not possess.

Dean Swift said : " It is with narrow souled people as it is with narrow-necked bottles, the less they have in them the more noise the make in pouring it out."fl| " The Great Railwalt-Makeb."—Mr ±srassey is said to have laid out seventy eight millions of other people's money m his various important undertakings, and upon Jhat outlay retained about two millions and a half; and it is asserted that there were periods in his career during which he and his partnera were giving employment to eighty thousand persons, upon works requiring seventeen millions of capital for their completion. Ship-Building in China.—The largest vessel ever constructed in China has recently been launched from Ziangnan Arsenal, Shanghai. The ship which is a man-of-war, of great speed and heavily armed, shows that the Chinese have really made great advancement within the last few years. Only four foreigners have had to do with the construction —viz., naval architect, engineer, draughtsman, and ship wright. All the work has been done by Chinese artizans, and has been turned out in good style. An affectionate husband once said," Ah, dear doctor, how is my wife to-day ?" The doctor shook his head and replied, " You must prepare for worst," "What," said the husband,- 'rdo you think she is likely to get over it ?"
