series of nineteen chromos, after originals by Birket Foster, Hardy, Armfield, Holding, Mole, McArthur, and others complete the list. The lakes Conio and Maggiore, by Row- Bofctom are among the finest chromos yet pro duced. Some of £the peculiarly rustic scenes such as the "Blackberry-gatherers," "Rustic Bridge," " Fern-gatherers," and similar pic tures are in Foster's best style, and convey a very good impression of the scenery of the western part of Surrey, near Godalming, where theartistresidesin peaceful communion with nature. There are many other pictures in Mr Baird's fine collection which deserve special notice, but as the room will be open to tbe public on to-morrow and Friday, an opportunity will be afforded for inspecting them. There are fifty-five pictures altogether in the collection and as only three hundred subscribers' tickets will be issued; there will be a goodly number of prizes.

CONCERT AT DEVONPORT TO MORROW.

We would call attention to an -attraction presented to-morrow night at the Devonport Hall, North Shore, and as tickets obtainable on board the ferry steamers will give, with out extra charge, passage to and fro as well as admission to the concert; we may fairly announce this as an entertainment for the citizens of Auckland. The concert too is in behalf of the school fund to pay for certain- additions and alterations to the school buildings. But besides all this the concert is of itself calculated to be most interesting, for it will be a combined effort of the " Orpheus Glee Olub," who have iindly volunteered their services, and of the "Devonport Glee Club," unknown indeed as yet to fame, but which is said to be destined to create no inconsiderable sen sation in musical spheres. And in addition to this, Mr James Brookes, the well-known and popular engineer of the Ferry Company, comes out in character as " Sarah Walker," and tells her tale in song. We believe she is immense, we mean Sally, or rather Mi- Brookes as Sally. He will also, in recitative and song tell the story of "John Tamson's Kart." We are not acquainted ourselves with the history of this particular vehicle, but we hear it is something very good indeed. Altogether the musical treat will be good and plentiful. Remember that tickets of admis sion give free passages by the ferry steamers, and that the cause is the cause of education.

MY SENTIMENTS.

SNYDER'S LANDLORD BCTILDS HIM A CHIBINEY. When I took my house, which according to law is my castle, but which is as much like a castle as its like a seventy-four line of bat tle-ship, I found it had no kitchen-chimney I went to my landlord and told him that the builder, when erecting the tenement, had forgotten all about a chimney. Would he (the landlord) cause one to be built ? fie said, what did I want with a chimney ? People didn't live in a kitchen when there was a handsome front drawing room attached to an establishment. I said, no, people did not live in a kitchen under such favourable con ditions of life, but my little housekeeper had come to be impressed with an idea that the kitchen was the place to cook in, and I could not divest her of the feeling.

My landlord seemed to be struck with the thing in a new light. He said when he was a boy people didn't want chimneys in their kitchens, but he supposed railways and tele graphs and steam engines and postage stamps had put crotchets and new fangled notions into peoples' heads. Be would order a man to come and build me a chimney. He sup posed that's what it would have to be at last, and it might as well be at first. And the man did come. He lit his pipe and sitting down on a chair he asked me where I would have it built. I said outside against the back wall of the kitchen. He suggested I should have it in the parlour when he could ran ifc through, the np-sfcairs floor and out at the roof, when by means of a double front, I could have two fires below and two. for my bedrooms above, which would make it comfortable in cold weather.

I never saw a man so considerate and calcn lating in building a chimney as that man was. He would lay a row of bricks and then he wonld stand ever so long and look at it. Then he would sit down and smoke and ask questions in natural history, with. Bible questions and answers, and give his opinion about the age of the world. He had a thirst for knowledge which nothing would quench. Then he would go in for another row of bricks and settle down again, as with the first row. On the third day he asked me for the loan of a large table. He had no scaffold, he said, but a table on the roof of the lean-to would answer quite as well. I lent him a table which he placed on the roof, and went on building. The next morning, early, he came for a small table to place on the large one. He said he had got to go a good deal higher yet; and he wanted to know if I remem bered the date when William the IV was beheaded. I said William the fourth was never beheaded, when he offered to bet me the price of a bushel of Jime that he was. » Having got the small table he placed it on the large one, and went on building. In the afternoon he came to the door to borrow a chair to put on the table. He had got to rise on tne chimney a good bit more yet. The next day he came for the loan of an iron bucket. He said he wanted it to place bottom upwards that he might go up higher. Did I think the present Ministry would stand; and wasn't Sir George Grey a brick made of the best quality clay ? After a time he came down to borrow a knife-board and an empty case. He said he hadn't done going up yet. So he placed the knife-board across the bucket and the empty ease bottom upwards across the knife-board, upon which he balanced himself while he lose upon the chimney. This man did not think he was doing any thing out of the way, but if Blondin had announced to perform the same feat he would have commanded ten thousand spectators at five shillings a head. The chimney was finished, the bricklayer balancing himself on an inverted flower pot while he laid the last course. Then he came down. He said there a magnificent view ©f the surrounding country from my chimney top. He expressed "is astonishment at people geing up hills to see the sun rise when if they would only get °a top of a well built chimney they would see the ponders of nature in all their glory. Did 1 think the Maoris of the North Island was one of the lost tribes of Israel. My landlord when the chimney was done called to see it; he was very sarcastic. He said, "Now that the chimney's done what else would you like. Will you have a dove cot put np, and a conservatory built, and the oaek-yard laid out in garden walks and Planted with rose-trees ? Would I have the cnimney covered with a nice light green and gold wall paper, or a wine-cellar made for ™e ° I told him I would like all the im- P'Wements he had suggested, when he said TT "xes, he wished I mieht get 'em." After wut he went &wa.j. — Coromandel Mail.

The Eowena sailed at eleven last night for Auckland Passengers: Mrs Macfarlane, Mrs Barnard, Mrs Alexander Cook and two children, Mrs McKellar and two children, Messrs Hoyte, Menderschausen, Steinhaff, E. Home, Mackay, Dr Carr and others. Dr Carr lectured last night on the " Philosophy of Life" to a good house. The Piako Land Sale. The Bay of Plenty Times to-day in a leader on the Piako land claims exonerates Dr Logan Campbell and Mr Mackelvie from the imputations indirectly cast on them, and says it is a monstrous thing that men can be branded by parliamentary com mittees as they have been without even a chance of defending themselves.

The annual cattle show yesterday was successful. The show of sheep was excellent, and evoked general admiration; also the entries. The Caledonian sports were atten ded by the largest number of people ever seen at Wangaiei. Mr W. Seecombe carried off nearly all the honours. He threw a cricket ball 106 yards. A dinner was held last night, when there was good speechifying. Chapman performed to a crowded house.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON.

Per Press Telegram Agency. J , This day. The McDonnell-Brissen&cn Cor respondence. It is understood that the result of the Court of Enquiry on the conduct of Colonel McDonnell and Mr Brisseden's letters will be nothing more than the expression of a regret that he should have been so ill advised as to retain possession for some three days of a letter not intended for him, and that the Court entirely exonerates him from all blame or responsibility for the manner the letter came into his possession.

Another Banquet

A banquet is to be given to Mr Thompson, member lor Clutha, on Friday. Sir George Grey, Mr Fitzherbert, Mr Kolleston, and all the Otago members who voted against the Abolition Bill, are to be invited as the guests of the Clutha settlers. Mr. Murray has telegraphed that he will attend. This day. The train with the Superintendent and party arrived at 2 15 ; the demonstration by the crowd was very feeble. Cheers were intermingled with groans and yells. It commenced to rain just as they arrived. There was no formal address. The reception was a complete failure.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day

The Piegon Match "The arrangement for the inter-provincial Pigeon Match are progressing very satis factorily. The Otago team is already made up, and a strong one to represent Canter bury is being got together, most of the Northern provinces intend to com pete, there are to be ten men in each team, the respective teams to fire on their own ground/ Prizes and general conditions are yet to be arranged. The Otago men have suggested that the match should be fired on the 9th of November, but the Canterbury representatives will endeavour to get the date altered so as to avoid the Metropolitan Show and Race.

Trout Hatching. The hatching of trout ova has heen very successful this year, and the result is a much larger number of younger fish than on former occasions. Up to the present time 6706 trout have been removed from the hatching boxes to the feeding ponds in the gardens, and there are still upwards of 200 trout in the hatching boxes. Thus, the total number hatched this season is about 9000. Last season the number did not exceed 8000.

PRESBYTERIAN CEMETRY.

At the meeting of the committee engaged in the improvement of 'the Presbyterian Ceme tery held yesterday afternoon, the tender of Messrs. A. Macmaster and Co wag accepted for building the boundary fence at a. cost of £170; and the tender of Mr C. Woolgar was accepted for the making of the large and small iron gates at a cost of £20. The tender of Mr Mac- Master was not the lowest but was selected on account of the more elaborate and finished kind of wall offered by-him. In stead of being cemented which would present an irresistible temptation to boys for the ex hibition of their popular sentiments and skill in drawing the wall on the side next the road will be in what is called in the jargon of the trade asbluestone "smacked rubble work" but laid in courses after the fashion of Ashlar. As such, it will present a most substantial and finished appearance. The gates are to be heavy wrought iron and will be of an ornamental and durable character. The wall is to be completed in six weeks, the agreement having been signed this afternoon, and the gates will be easily ready within that time. It was also resolved that there should forthwith be a plan of the present graves made out, the only record of the names of the silent occupants, where there are no head stones or other memorial, being in the memory of Mr James Simms, the Sexton. It was also directed that at the same time there should be a survey of the ground, and that paths should be laid off and made, as near to regularity as will be permitted by the irregular position of the graves. The financial report was satisfactory in the extreme, giving the prospect of funds available not only for the walls, gates, and pathways, but also for beautifully planting the cemetery when the proper season arrives. Indeed every collec tor' stnted that he never was engaged in col lecting for any object where the response has been so uniformly favorable. We trust that the success which has attended this movement of the Presbyteries will stimulate other dencmi lations to kindred action, in re lation to the last lonely resting-place of their departed relatives in their several portions of this City of the Dead.

A GRIEVANCE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —I read with feelings of disgust the result of the hearing of a breach of alleged by-laws of the City Council at the Police Court yesterday, in which a leading draper was fined ten shillings and costs for exhibiting a few articles outside his premises, while, to my surprise, I learnt at the same time, a Mr. Smith had a permit granted by the Municipal Council for the occupancy, if he chose, of some ten feet of the path for another month for decorative and other purposes. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Smith is fined for a common practice, besides being sub ject to the loss and annoyance of having a hoarding erected for a considerable distance on the footpath, which has the effect not only of diverting traffic, but of de stroying the view of hie windows. More over, I would like to ask why Mr. Smith has been signalled out and made an example of? admitting that his goods were a few inches on the pathway, of what injury were- they ? They were pleasant to the sight, and could offer no obstruction, for the simple reason there is no traffic beyond the shop ; thanks to the hoarding. The fact is, sir, it was not in the interests of the public action was taken, but to gratify an old grudge.—Yours, &c, A Shopkeepkk.

AMUSEMENTS.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATHE,

" Faust and Marguerite " and the " Ladieß' Club" were repeated last night to a good housse. The strong dramatic situations in the first piece again told well -with the audience, and called down loud applause. The representation went off without a hitch, and the performers as usual on a second night acted with greater freedom. Misa Carry George evoked universal sympathy by her exquisite por traiture of the interesting Marguerite, and Mr Collier and Mr Lawrence as Faust and Hephis topheles played thtir paits perlectly. The scenery as before was the object of general admira tion, 'i he afterpiece was extremely laughable. The acting of Miss Lizzie Morgan is bo artless and natural aiid yet so good that her position on the Auckland stage becomes strengthened every day. Her beautiful singing comes in as an additional attraction, and gains her multitudes of admirers. Mr tarn Pooie and Mis Searle each made a hit in the characters they undertook, lo- night, Scoit'» great musical drama of "Rob Boy" is to be pro duced with, all the original music The adventured of this famous freebooter have always created stirring interest and the present occasion will be no excep tion.

Tenders are invited for the booths and stoae-house at the Ellerslie sports on the Prince of Wales birthday. A very large attendance is expected at the sports arranged for that day.

Macaulay's New Zealander. — Philanthropists gloried in the wiitings of Macaulay. wherein he pictures his New Zealand er sitting and musing on a broken arch of London Bridge whilst contemplating the ruins of St. Paul's A direct negative to the opinion of many scientific writers that the Aborigines must perforce become extinct as the immigrant increased and multiplied. Christianity having over come moßt of the difficulties inherent in the customs and prejudices of these islanders, yet the poor Maori is decreasing rapidly from a more insidious cause than open murder or -warfare, by imitating the white man's dress, donning scraps of clothing, and ex posing themselves continually in a moist climate vjithout a change by night or day, but regardlessly drying their rags on their backs around their camp fires, colds, coughs, and consumption adding its thousands of victims to this otherwise salubrious country. The " London Cough Cure," so admirably adapted for the relief of such cases, is rapidly finding its way to all parts of the world; bo we trust that a timely use of this invaluable remedy in New Zealand may assist in preserving a remnant of this noble race to view ■with wonderment the bridge and the Fane such grand examples of the skill of the past as well as the more modern scientific discovery of this " London Cough Cure " F. Newberry and Sons, 37, Newgate-street, London, B C., are the agents for this medicine — Copied from the London Daily News.
