MR FIRTH'S LECTURE.

vj-u inejiditor ol the Evening Stab.) Sie >—I have been much pleased with the very lucid and intelligible report of this lecture, which has appeared in this morn ing's Herald ; much more so in fact than with the lecture itself. The lecture was able I admit, but the report is much abler While giving it this general praise I must', however, dissent from certain of the deduc tions of the writer. He says "The corollary, however, has undoubtedly this manifest advantage that it relegates the undeter mined difficulties of mental and moral involution to common observation." Now sir, I admit this as a general principle, but I must take exception to it in the special case, because if the comminuted disinte gration of the moral involution effects a resolution of the difficulties of the mental PfGO<?r& tlie conv°lution of the primary atow^ of the undetermined ■will resolve itself in the indefinite. This, as the writer should know, is based on the first principles laid down by Pythagoras, who, in his well-known work on Ethics', has conclusively established that the concatenation of the differential hypothesis of lleracleitus is nothing more or less than the individuation of the positive system of sociology. I am astonished that this fact should have escaped the observation of the writer in the Herald. But it is not the only error to which if time permitted I could point. He says for example "This element will undoubtedly include those phenomena which txv& assumed or believed as essen tial to the complete comprehension of all that concerns the welfare of humanity." Surely the writer does not mean to say so when he must know that " complete com prehension" means the abnegation! of the cerebial functions owing to the dereliction of the moral and the common sense in the most abnormal and anomalous, and I would even add indefinite and undetermined forms. He further says that Mr Mrth insisted "upon the sum of human faculties as the integral unit from which alone it is admissible to argue as to the influences which modify moral conduct." Now, sir, I am sure I did not hear Mr Firth soy so, although if he is questioned on the subject I believe he will not be able to say with much certainty whether he did or not. But when the writer in the Herald says that "The result of reflection is the' true raison d' etre,"^ although " the aphoristic authority of this is not very definite," his statement will be received with unquestioning assent, because the function of the rational faculty owing to the involution of mental phenomena is according to the Aberdeen philosopher shrouded in the nebulous sur roundings of its own spontaneous activity, and the evolution of the ratiocination of the conglomerated excrescences of mental philosophy is, to use the beautiful language of Aristotle, as clear as mud. —I am, &c, LIJCUS A NON I/UCENDO.

To the Editor of the Eveening Star, Sir, —My attention having been drawn to several remarkable portions of the report, or rather critique of Mr J. C. Firth's lecture appearing in the Herald of this morning, I cannot allow them to pass without comment. It must be apparent to every reader of ordinary acquaintance with the opinions of the great philosophers of ancient and modern days that the reporter or critic is fundamentally wrong. The tabulated statistics of moral idiosyn cracies from the days Zcno to those of Carlyle are themselves amply sufficient to disprove the theory so artfully set up— namely, thatthe unascertainedis equivalent to its converse; or, in other and simpler words, that the indented approximate of the divine nature in man, considered in its peculiar and abnormal demarcation, or rather in the position which it oc cupies in the applied knowledge of things, as shewn both in history and science, stands upon the same level as objects in themselves real. No reader of Bacon, or even of Voltaue, could have for a mo ment made such a gross mistake. Rather we would suggest does the mind when freed from the trammels of a fast decay ing evanescence of thought become cos mopolitan in its strenuous exertions to distinguish the free from the conditioned, and to attach to those primeval echoes of the soul those glimpses of the eternal which ate revealed from time to time in the human existence, the time meaning which well-founded benevolence or ambiguous determination of spontaneous existence would go to prove undoubtedly this is one of the great problems of existence ; but it must be treated in a manner altogether different from tha tin which this critic would treat it. Would he confound the inane with the ortheopic school of inductive thought. Tlie idea is ridiculous. Does he desire to break down the inseparable bar riers which divide the argumentative or questionable from the unknown ? or would he, unmindful of the precepts of Anaxagoras, seek to do that which Socrates warned his great pupil never to attempt in those memorable words, "Do not, O Plato, seek by the aid of organic effulgence or mundane prephortic energy to irradiate the gloom of the uncounted phenomena of creation, but in thy wor ship of truth rather with silent enig matic search do thou explore those secrets which will aid the to explain the mysieri ous sarcophagus wherein lies entombed the all of creation," —I am, &c, Sociologus.

THE SUPERINTENDENCY.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Will you kindly insert enclosed in you issue this evening :—

Mr Williamson has not been asked, and will not accept employment from the Govern ment for whom lie has voted, Lusk, and Sheehan will not oppose anri\.'/*w' rilliamson for the Superintendency. are really Ai Williamson (if invited) will be a c.,_..aidate for that high position. Superintendents of present Cabinet must resign. Native Lands' Proclamation, under clause of Public Works and Immigration Act, will be annulled. The hon. member for Eden may be an op ponent of Mr Williamson's for Superinten dency.

ITALIAN OPERA.

To the Editor of the Earning Star. Sir, —1 observe that the Italian Opera Com pany are announced to appear at the Choral Hall, Symonds-street, on their arrival. Surely the managers can have no idea where this hall is situate. Do they suppose that

the public are going to tramp through the dark to such an outlandish place as Symonds street? If they think their operatic season Will he a successful one they are mistaken if they insist on going out there. It may be convenient to some of the Parnell clique, and a saving to them in cab hire ; but the majority of public will not trouble them selves to make a pilgrimage to the other end of the town on purpose to hear an opera. The theatre was quite large enough for them lief ore, and surely it will do again.—l am, &c, Lyric.

TE KOOTI.

! What is the lay the birds all chant, And make the bush joyous with song : Tlie kiwi and weka roam glad now at eve, And the green lizards bask in the sun : The wild boars grunt as if the)'- were pleased As they whetten their tusks on the rata trees, And the flies hum merrily by on the breeze, AYhile the bell birds chant their song? " I only am sad, Te Kooti, lie said, I have no place to rest my weary head ; Say, Atua, is it for long ?" " Ho ! take cover," he cries, "a horseman appears, The steed is all covered with foam That's cast from his nostrils Like foam from the sea, as his rider hurries him on. Hark ! lie calls, as he cometh swift over tlie roads Lie down : list, what does he say ." " Kua ora, Kua ora, the tribes they are saved, The Ministry's fallen this day : I am sent by old Kiwi, from Potatau straight, To bring tlie good news this way." Te Kooti, lie rose gaunt and grim, Gaunt and grim rose he ; Ue looked up. he looked down, When at length spake lie : Welcome, welcome, welcome, peace, If peace yon bring to me ; But if still to be chased by the Pakeha man, By tlie Pakeha man who loafs, Who wishes to have me if catch me he can, I'm d d if I see tlie joke Of hanging, or sending me over the sea. Hang me if you can, but no Chathams you me. No, no, Makarine as vet I am free, The Pakeha sheweth great strength of mind To carry on a game of this kind ; For to follow me, is like hunting tlie wind, Or learning the game of Te Kooti." Te Kooti lie was gaunt and grim, Gaunt and grim was he ; He looked up, he looked down When thoughtfully murmured he. " The birds they sing, "tlie weka squeaked, And the kiwi lie was glad, The butterfly lie danced along. And tlie boar witli joy went mad ; The lizard now he takes his rest, And tlie sun shines warm on him, And the bell bird sings his hymn of joy As he's rocked by the trees in the wind ; For the gods told them what they hid from mo, There is pardon for all, so let it be, I'll sign for peace with the new Ministry, Faithfully yours, Te Kooti."

CAUDLE LECTURES.

No. 1. —Caudle has been to the Banquet

'Poii my word, Mr Caudle, this is a pretty hour for a respectable man to lie com ing horne —four o'clock, as I'm a sinner '. — 2Xo it ain't. —To tell your own lawful wife she doesn't know what's o'clock ; I'm ashamed of you, Caudle. — What's that you say ; I'm a jolly good fellow ?— Why where have you been, Caudle ? — What ? —- Why don't you speak without stutter ing, eh ? — At the banquet, to Captain Hero of the Logan. — Oh, Caudle ! can you look me in the face and tell me you've been near that horrid man, who has only just re covered from a quarantine ? Why, it's in fectious ! flh, oh, Caudle, I'll he catching it, and the children will be catching it ; and, mark my words, Caudle, you'll catch it. — You're what ? — You are catching it now ! —What do you mean by that Caudle ? But that's the way you always fly in my face. And ] suppose you made a speech there ? It was the happiest moment of your life, and you never felt as you did on that present occasion ? I know Caudle—you didn't say that, you said what ?—-Tooral, looral liety ! —Upon my word Caudle you'll get shown up in "Who's Who." That will let you know what's what. They'll show you up—you and your posterity, and your aunt's sisters.—Eh, you're not ashamed of your four-fathers ! —l'm sure one father was enough for any reasonable man. And Caudle, aint you ashamed to go to your banquetings, and your diniierings, and your winings, and leaving me at home all alone by myself like a brute —you didn't what? you didn't forget me ! —The ladies were drunk ! goodness gra cious ! gracious goodness! Nice company you were in, Caudle ! Ladies indeed ! But mercy on the man, he's coming into bed with his boots on ! Caudle, I can stand a great deal, but I must draw a line some where, and I draw it at hoots. Caudle, Caudle — why bless my heart he's gone to sleep in the chair ! "Here," says Caudle, " I got into bed somehow, and dreamt of Hero and Leander, quarantine, oyster patties, and that monton a la maitre de hotel in the bill of fare ; meant, in the language of the poets—boiled mutton and turnips."

Mosgiel Tweeds, of Otago manufacture, are now hi demand in the London market. They are a decided novelty, and of excellent quality ; and yet at a distance of 10,000 miles from tlie place where they are produced, and from the people whose interest and profit it is to prefer the home production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even a passing notice on the child of our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath no honor in^his own country ; but it is not " colonial" to " sneeze at" a profit. The time has come when the nether extremities of every New Zealand man and boy should be clothed in stuff of the home production. Samuel Coombes has just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not only hopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to " go in" for at leastone pair of Mosgiel Tweed Trousers.
