WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1875

For the cause that lacks assistance, i'or the wrong t.;at neuds resistance, *'3r the future in the distance. And the sjootl that we can do.

Oft and again have we drawn tlie attention of our readers to the beneficent provisions of the " Industrial Pranoh" of the New Zealand Government Life Assurance department. It affords us extreme gratification to find, from a letter now before us tba* the Government have taken steps to even extend and simplify thrse provisions so as to make them more rearlily available. We confess we are still unable to see why those provisions should not be further extsndel, so tbat they may be availed of by the great body of people who do not belong to any Society or Association, whether registered under the Friendly Societies' Act or otherwise. However, w« regard the latest modification wherein with out registration under such Ach, the great Order of Good Templars is at once admitted to the piivilpges, as a most impoitantstepin the right direction. The following letter has just bf-en received from the Commissioner of Annuities : — Government Insurance Office, (Industrial Branch) Wellington, 3:-d February, 1875. Sir,—l have the honor to inform you that by an order in Council made the second day of February, 1875. His Excellency the Governor has been •pleased to extend the Government Industrial Insurance Regulations to all Members of the Society, known as " The Independent Order of Good Tem plars " in New Zealand, whether or not registered under " The F/iendly Societies' Act, lßG7,"and to the Wives of such Members. I have the honor to be, sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) W. Gisbobne, Commissioner. To Samuel Worms, Esq., Secretary, iemplar Benefit Society, Auckland.

This, as we have said, ig a most important step in the right direction, and the organiza tion of Good Ttmplansm will afford all the facilities for the collection of small amounts in weekly premiums, which appears to be the desiderattim intended in originally limit ing the Industrial policies to members of registered Friendly Societies. And we do not Lesifcate to say that if these provisions now offered are cordially and vigorously worked by the friends of the Order, G!ood Templarism will a genuine blessing tatha-commnnity, not merely in slaying the "flood^of drunkenness, but in preventing those painful v goenes ofr.distress from bereavement and poverty combined, which so often follow thl re^oval'of the b'reatt-winner of a family dependent on^ .industry for its daily bread. The great, Vest feature of this system of industrial weekly payment, .Jipwever, small—!§ye^.one T penny being not despised. And it"will, to^every well wisher of Ihiskind; o;fcera grounded! sincere pleasure, if, by and-,by, ; ib i&, recorded, that every brother and. every sister of the "Good Templar order are embraced'within "the system of the Industrial .Policy.. > v yi (ft-.--.

Another pest-ship ha^ acrjVed in the South, As announced'ini our yesterday's issue the ~ Rakaia laai arrived at Lyttelton with not only measles—^with which we are now becoming'•preftty1- fam lili*ir', but atso scarlatina on board, -three little sufferers had borne the penalty of the negligence of our Immigration. Office, eleven of them paying it H^ith their lives. Perhaps it may be said that so long as we are exceptionally treated at Auckland with clean bills we hare no right to com plain, and now especially when measles seem to be,in, the very clouds, sweeping over the ; whole of these colonies such .ftn. .eYentf, may- seem .a matter of indifference. , J Bu { t as' the Introduction of snch contagions diseases into the crowded beiths of immigrant ahips' can .v only have resultrd fro'm;neglect of precautions, and as *Very such case goes to add to the long lj s t of! p the , v ,causes r , contributing against the popularity.. of emigration by long sea voyages weieanndt be-iudiflPiVeTSft In:all the annals ?i$- emfgfatidiri1 oa any systsmatic scale there has never been such an illubtration of long continued negligence, and 'wilful naißi€adiog, and bungling; in;competerice, as has been furnished from the first to the* Time doea not improve it; and that|immi gration to JSew Zealand^hfw »urvived|ia the

competition with the other fields for co'o nizition is due to her own matchless at tractions.

The steamer Hero takes tjae following parcel of gold to Sydney: -5 boxes, 5,858 nzs. 14 owts., value £24,313 12s *ld, of which 1,55G ozs. 2 dwts. paid duty in Nelson.

A case was heard this.mornioe; before Mr Beckham, at the Police Corrfc, which let in a litt'e light upon the doings of immigrants on bnard ship, in their p ssage out. The case was one of larceny, the particulars of whioh appears iv <ur Police Court r^por 4;. Thf» prosecutor—-a lad of seven1 een, green and brawny from the fens of Lincolnshire, where he ha^been in the ha'^it of picking miish rooms for Leadenha'.l Maiket, and occasion ally following the plough, deposed that the prisoner, who h d lefc the locality <>f White oh p^l to better his condition in Auckland, induced him to play at euchre, aftei having ijenTrously let him into the mystery, and filched him of all the money he tfa^d. in cash, and debited him with £10 10s. TlHferisoner ■*was an ill-lookiug young man, and, '"nKging from his demeanour and cast of countenance, equal to dirty work, if not honest work, anywhere. He frightened the Lincolnshire lad out of £6 of the card debt of £10 10*, and tha manner in which he settled the balarjce, which has settled himst'lf for nine months, may be read elsewhere His Wor "sbip remarked upon the matter, and suggested that the boy's disclosure should be made known at the proper place, in order, if possible that gambling might be prevented on immigrant ships. It appears however, from the boy's statement, that, although immigrants gambled night and day. the .couimaad r nf the vessel knew nothing of it His Worship having cautioned the lad who, looking up wiih a purely agricultural smile, said he would- take jolly good care not to get -wi card slurperd agin ! and he hoped there would be nothin' of the sort at Muhuranga w ere he was gwine to work. The lad had el'-thes enough to stock a very good etore, and as shiits, stockings, coats, and vests rolled out of the b ixps a feeling of astonishment was evidenced by the speclators. To the boys credit, however, be it said, he had twenty volumes of books brought from Stamford, which he should have read on the passage if he had not studied the mysteries of euchre. We trust tha matter will' be investigated, as many of the immigrants, especially those tqatiappear almost daily in the dock, are not calculated either Iry educate n or morals to i^Oj!i'p%G thu cjniO;Vj%m °f lhe colony. Preparations are now being made for the pi rasan t annual picnic of the Prince of Wales Masonic Lodge, which is one of the socia l event-" of the year. The p'enic will, on this occasio i. be hel I at Lake Tuk.ipuna, which, with ith sylvan scenery, has been well chosen, and the arrangements are such that those who have an o jectiou to the sea can proceed to the appointed place overland from Devon port. In our advertising columns will be fund the n unes of stewards from whom tioli«ts must be secured to <iay, in order thttt proper p-ovision can be irnde.

The new post-office and Custom House building is to be guar led. as far as possii.L-, against ih« recurrence of fruch a catastrophe as that which destroyed the block before. A lire engine of considerable power is to be placed on the landing over a large talk This engine lias jusr, been completed at Mr G Kichen's Hrasj Works, Lorne-srect. It ia

a neit and well-finished double force pump. capable of throwing a good jet of sixty feet from the hose nozzle. The engine is a most creditable piece of woikmanship, finished in nest English sf.yle, and combining great com pactness wifch lirge power. The mode's and castings have all been ma !e on Mr Kitchen's premises and are of a very superior descrip tion. The engine will be fixed, in its place a few days hence when its capabilities will be put to a practical test. A eoumtar ble length of vulcanised india-rubber hose has been attached to the engine.

The annual meeting of 1.0.0. F., M.U., A.D.. will be celebrated by a dinner and quadrille party on Friday evening nexc. Particulars with reference to thia celnbration will he found among our advertisements to day. •

■Relative to the Masonic appeal on behalf of the family of Brother Leggett a co respondent writes : "bir, —Per the Star of last evening apptaied a pathetic appeal to the Masonic Order, evidently written by an apprentice hand, or he would not have made so many mistakes in so short a space. It is not usual to 7mke appeals of the kind to Masons through the public press. The morelikely and proper way to be successful is to bring the." matterbefore the Lodge of which thedistreased, brother is a member, aad then the c-se can be enquired into and fuch relief given as may be deemed best ; but I do not'think your correspondent is a mt mber of any.lo Ige, nor do I believe that the unfortunate of his sympathy belongs to or is a subscriber* to any lodge in the city. Where did|"One of the craft," get his authority to ajppend." the names of the gentlemen he has done to hisappeal, andtowhom.eifcherweorthejjmnter' has given such odd. initials for their jfcitles?

We Lave received a letter from "Dread nought;," under the heading "Hold rue while 1 fight." As to what the writer intends we declare our utter darkness, and as sedition, heresay treason, and all evil may, for aught we know, lie concealed beneath the myster ious utterances, we ac obliged by solicitude for the public safety to withold publication of the letter. A correspondent from Onehuaga forwards the following which we give with out vouching for its correctness or incorrect ness. "The Onehunoa branch, of Good Templars lately offered to use their influence to return Mr Eastwood as M.L. A. at next elec tion if lie would become one of them, which offer that gentleman indignantly refused " We have for a week overlooked another letter from a "Victim" i*especting' the Par nell nuisance, and speaking in unmeasured language respecting the offender. We do n't think that good would aiise from the publication. The question is a public one an'i considerations of a personally acrimonious kind carvnofc conduce to its solution. We have received a considerable number of letters couched in very indignant terms respecting the unmanly assault on woman's rights and liberties, which we are at present, with standing, and respecting the conspiracy to injure in which certain persons have been involving themselves in the effort to suppress our independence, but the time for their publication is not yet.

In farther reference to cifcy rate summonses, a correspondent states : "By the 17th clause of the Justices' of Peace Act, an information laid may be withdrawn by the justice re ceiving suoh information, and not of a necessi fy by the magistrate who may happen to preside on the day appointed for hearing, but the o1 ject of the summons beiDg to obtain payment, and that being made and notice given of such payment, what can be the need of farther publicity? by asking permission to withdraw what is in reality not- before the court to consider. The tive shillings charged for each summons goes to the General Government, although the forms are supplied and filled in by the clerk at the City Council offices. A much simpler means %f collecting rates exists elsewhere. Certainly the Municipal authorities are entitled to every assistance and facility being given them to enforce payment. '

We have received a Eomewhat singnlar letter from "Ego" on "The Wave of Infidelity," from which we make the follow ing extract : —" The last wave we heard of wa.'i the tidal wave, and its effects were so varied that statistical knowledge, like geological sequences, remain, for all practical purposes, as you were. Nude boys swim and gambol, porpoises roll, and sharks bite, and young ladies blush, &c, for human natur. and thq wave, the watery wave, does not hurt any one. Much alarm may be created, nay the delicate buzzom heaves, because the wave don't— So with doubt, incredulity of certain persons aud things whose precepts tally not with their professions and make a sort of wait-a-bib style of action —

Doubt that the Sun doth move, Doubt that tne stars are fire. Doubt truth to ho a liar. But doubt not there is love, From the first dawn of intelligence, man's endeavour has been to possess, not only the cattle upon a thousand hills, and like Nebuchadnezzar to say, is not this great Babylon that I have builded, but make confiding individuals, who preft-.r cannonicals to their consciences, subservient; yea, loving, as Beechfir would, say, rather the flesh pots of E^ypt than the gates of Zion."

The Giraris and the theatrical company recently in Auckland will open at the Thames this evening for a few nights. The company will appear in burlesque and comedy, and, doubtless, they will gratify the Grahamstown people, who love to see a play. The com pany, under Mr. Do Lias," will return to their Auckland quarters next week, with several new pieces.

We observe from our advertising cojiimns that Mr Worthington of City East School, will re-commence his class for the trainiug of of junior teachers, which he conducted with so much success during the latter half of last year, an Mrs Hardens school-room in Short iand-strecf;, on Monday evening nex|, the 15th inst, at 7 p.m. We earnestly fdvise as many young teachers as can make it con venient to attend this class and join ati odcg. We have been shewn the course of {study intended, and are sure that a steady perse veiance in it throughout the year will enable candidates to compete successfully for teachers' certificates in December next;

The opportunity of studying the beautiful art of siogmg, under so distinguished a teacher as Miss Christian is one that the young ladies of Auckland should esteem as a great privi lege. Miss Christian has won the reputation of being the best contralto singer in the colo nies ; and were this not so, the fact that she is a member of the Royal Academy of JMusic is sufficient to give her a verj high standing in her profession. We are very much pleased to learn that, upon the solicitation of j many friends,, she has consentedto give lessdus in singing during her stay in this city.j The classes will meet in the Choral Hall on! Mon day and Thursday from eleven till twoj p.m. Terms may be ascertained on application to Mr Upton. | .-

The latest Pans theatricsl sensation is at the Gymnase, where a strange, fiery, jtemp testuotis creature, calling herself Tallaijd ira, has j ast burst upon the centre of civilization frOm the Bonlevary Denho Nouvelle. jShe is said to be an'Algerian.wnEes the Paris cc|rr*s- pondentfof a St. Louis journal:—" Her fatKer" a Freifichman ' and her mother an k x-gjh'f-j, which one can well believe who notices her unconventional bearing on the stage, a id her wild—at times almost savage—expression pf passion^; 8h« loooks tropical, too, with her great, TmaclfJ flashing eyes, her straight,'' sharp her voluptuous mouth,' her glittering whit 9 teeth. In; r • the ordinary sfense she has nothing like arb. She is not graceful; she is not sub dued ; she is not methodical, nor in the least sustained. But she is intensely^ well nigh fearfully natural. Her emotional quality is tremendous; When she represents passion it is no feigning. She is permeated, lighted up, all ablaze-with it. If you can conceive of a combination of a tigress and a pythoness, yon will haven picture of Tallaudeira. She is a sort of Cleopatra woman-—so jterider' at one moment, so fierce at another,, that her lover can scarcely tell, whibn she throws her arms about his neck, whether she intends to embrace or strangl^ him. What a magnificent and terrible creature Tallandeira is, if one-quarter of what is told of her be true. She has fascinated do, sens, of> men—soldiers, poets, artists, sages. She has bad a hundred narrow escapes from death, ■each one of them picturesque, fearful! ihriU ling.1 She'has been a shop girl, a viv&notiere, a ballet-dancer, a duellist, a spy, a mistress of princes—a dangerous, delightful "devil generally. The present impression is that she ia supremely wicked ; and >to be supremely wicked in Paris ia to be the ivogue,. if the wicked person be at all in public life. To be wicked and to be; like Tallandeira is to be assured of reputation and success. " When it is darkly intimated, as it is, that she has killed or mortally wounded six or seven persons in a frenzy of jealousy or rage; that she turns livid and foams at the mouth when thoroughly angry ; that she has ridden naked a hundred milea at night through Algeria on a wild horse j that she slew three Arabs in a deadly conflict one morning before breakfast; that she has a secret for concoct ing and mixing th» Borgia poisons, , with many other maryellbuW things, she is certain Jtp be the centre of interest, the topic of the , j&wn^lk.

The first of a series of twelve entertain ments and lectures was given last night in St Matthews' School-room. The Rev R. S. Hassard, the incumbent, in the chair, stated the particular object of the union, which was to bring the members of the congrega tion into closer union by means of musical and literary hours spent together. The Rev Dr Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, then de livered the inaugural address, which was of a liberal and enlightened character, and quite free from any thing like narrow mind edness. He loved 1 to see young people happy, and by such meetings as the present, endeavouring to improve such gifts, whether of reading, minstrelsy, or song, as they might possess. Suoh gathering also, had their positive and negative advantages, they pre vented isolation, and tended to subvert those vices to which idleness leads. The choir of St. Matthews, under the able leadership of Mr Bjowd, organist of the church, gave several pieces with correctness and ability. Several ladies and gentleman sang ballads ; snch as " O let me like a soldier fall," and others of a sentimental character. The Rev. C. M. Nelson, read a humourous extract from Washingnon Irving's " Knickerbocker's History of New York." which was well re ceived. Hon. Col. Haultain gave two read ings ; the first from Frank Buckland's " Att of Training Fleas," and the other from lever's Charles O'Mallay, which was of a lively dcs cription, and in Lever's best style. There was a good attendance of ladies and gentle men, who evidently enjoyed the literary treat provided for them Ihe whole concluded right royally with " God Save'the Queen."

A very singular instance of a man running away with a strange woman iv mistake for his wife is recorded in a Glasgow journal of December 14, as follows :- -" Yesterday afternoon, a man, who gave the name of Nicholas Nolan, called at the Sb. Eollox Police office for the purpose of inquiring atiout his ■ wife, who was""incarcerated for drunkenness. FTe was shown a, woman answering the description of his wife', and apparently bearing the same name, and took her home, carrying her (as he alleges) part of the way on hia back, as she was yery ill. After arriving at home the woman died, and it was then discovered that she waa a com plete stranger, and not the wife of Nolan. About half-past 9 o'clock he proceed to the Central Police Station, and ipformed Lieut. Reid of what had taken place. Ab first the story appeared incredible, but, on an ex amimation of the books, it was discovered that Nolan's wife was in the cells of the Central, and, being brought face to face, they at once recognised each other. The woman was liberated on bail and went home with her husband, the police meanwhile sending the stretchers to remove the body of the supposed wife from the house. Nolan ex plained that the woman he got at St. Ptollox dressed like his wife, was about the same age, and apparently had the same maiden name. The woman gave her name as Magaret Hamilton, and was apparently a pauper."

Mr G.

FIXING GOLDFIELDS BOUNDARIES.

FIND OF ALLUVIAL GOLD

(from this advertiser's sEkctal cokres pondent.j

OHINEMURI. ♦ Tuesday. Mr Mackay went out this morning jvith Mr Thorpe, surveyor, "to run the goldh\sW boundary, from the north eastern peg of tht' Paeroa estate towards Rokokuhu. A few snags in the river near Paepra havo been removed. j One ounce and a half of gold, said to be flllavial,' from Ohinemuri, was shown in Grahauasfcown on Tuesday. The stone, with gold plainly visible has also been shown, but the Advertiser doubts, whether 'it came from the upper country, as all w;>o profess to' have found gold are keeping it very quiet. It says the specimen business is quite played out at the Thames, but thinks sufficient has been dis-' covered to warrant the country being well prospected.

[From Our Special Correspondent.]

BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS.

Ohinemuki is noted for its fine scenery acd lovely sunses. Here, it may be said, ,is, or ouuht to be, the painter and the poet s home, ior it is rarely that one spot aft'ards such varied pictures of rugged mountains, trembling waterfalls that fall with a rushing, souud down precipitous cliffs into the.dark abysses of deep ravines, and undulatiag hills and level plains, dotted here and there with belts of forest, which stretch far away in the distance, until they become lost and mingled with the azure of the sky like a sea, and through which wanders many a- silvery stream, affording rare pieces of quiet river scenery. It was *ny good for tune on Saturday evening last to: wit ness one of the most gorgeous sunsets that it is possible to conceive. It had been, raining heavily during the day, but cleared towards evening, leaving heavy banks of fleecing clouds that hung over the ravines and hovered round the peaks of the Te Aroha like a mantle. The sun then set with great splendour, and as it slowly disappeared below the horizon, tinting the sky with, beautifully blended streaks of gold, which at their outer edges merged into a deep crimson, which shot sparkling rays through the openings in the belts of timber Hkelur.d flames. The brilliant light was reflected back on the base of the clouds that eucircled Te Aroha, catisiogits summit to appear as if enveloped in one vast cohflagration, the heavy clouds hanging over aJI like dense volumes of smoke. The si^ht was so mag nificent that the diggers all turned out of their tents and remained gazing in speechless wonder on the glorious scene, until the brilliant colours melted away, and all around was clothed with the sombre shades of even ing- ' .'.

THE ARMED CONSTABULARY' I telegraphed to you the ariival of ten of the Armed Constabulary, and a bns. I can understand for what purpose the bus is brought here, but as far as the Armed Con stabulary are concerned I give it up. They might perhaps be required bye-and-bye, and after all, I suppose, they are as well in the meantime here as in the Waikato. Inspector Newell is in charge. THE CAMP DOCTOR.-A MAORI -v INCIDENT. It may perhaps interest those who have friends or relations up here to know that we have a doctor residing in our :rnir!st, so? that if any amongst us should fall sick the patienfe will not be neglected., It appears that our friend the doctjr has been residing in this locality for some time back attending to the ailments of theVMaoris He was then living in a native settlement farther down the river. He left the natives for a reason somewhatenrious, •namely, his whare being infested by Tats, he determined to get lid of them by strychnine—the unsus picious victims took the bait and themselves away as best they could to die. One amongst them in the agonies of thirst—brought on by the poison - died at the river side. Now that was wrong, he should not have done I that, he ought to" have gone away in.-the bush and died decently out of sight, and, so. have saved a great deal of trouble that after wards ensued. However, by the river side he .died and lay, where he -was' unfortunately discovered by a favourite dog of the> chie^and gobbled'up, strychnine included. /■ Of course the -dog1 died, and'-was in -turn pecked at j <:by r tberfowls!, and gnawed at by the pigs, until at last nearly-all the domestic .poultry and:foa»-fobted animals in the village were more or less stricken with 1 strychnine. The )#^lf#/ g?"e»^y'enraged, rushed .fe jtjhe un- doctori, with-gre^ib: dernonatijations of .anything, but. joy, and danced a^dance -suggestive of war. 1 hey 'declared! that instead.of coming to cure them, he had ttlied r tp. .^ujqn, ,them,;—no., doi^bt, &, deep laid scheme to sweep the native raae'frrim oGF the face otthe prthi.
