A DETERMINED YOUNG VAGA BOND.

A BOY PLAYS THE "WAG" FOR SIX 2 WEEKS, AND KNOCKS HIS MOTHER * -OOWN WHEN DISCOVERED, b

■"He's as bright a boy as you'll meet anywhere sir. Can write and spell with the best of 'em. and if I could ha' seen a policeman'l'd a locked him up as soon as looked at him. The young vaga bond, to play the "wag" for six weeks and then lead me such a danco as this. But he's in for a bating now, and well ho deserves it, tho young scoundrel,"

Tho foregoing was uttered yesterday after noon with groat volubility, interrupted by an occasional gasp for breath, by a why and heated looking Irishwoman seatod on the grass between St. Paul's Churoli and the City East Schoolroom, to ono of our reporter's who had asked hor what Was tho meaning of tho struggle which he had just witnessed between her and a boy of 11 or thereabout. who was now being walked off kicking and screaming in tho grasp of Mr Worthington, tho schoolmaster. Ronewod questions brought out tho following pretty history of that bright, nice, boy. Hi's name was William Robinson, living with his father and mother in Wakefleld-streot: ho was 11 years old, and he went to City East School with his youngor brother. During the last month his parents had noticed that he never brought home any lessons -to do. When ques tioned on tho subject ho always had somo plausible oxcuso ready. He left homo regularly with his brother, sometimes came homo to dinner, and sometimes did not, and now and then ho woidd say: "Oh wasn't Misther Worthington in a nice, pretty takin' to-day. My faix, but ho was: A good job I knew my lessen;" all of which were artful expressions thrown out to mislead his parents, and keep from them the fact that ho never went to school at all, but gcnorally got among the boats or on tho wharf, whore ho spent tho time much more pleasantly in sunning himself on his back or Ashing for sprats, as the fit took him. About every other day ho woidd take his young brother by the ear, and solemnly inform him that if ho " peached ' of his not going to school, he would "break every bono in his body." Thus admonished, young hopeful kept his own counsel, and Willie had a fine time of it. Yesterday morning, how ever, Mrs Robinson happened to overhear a little conversation between hor son and another boy, relative to an expedition which was not at all consistent with a proper observance of school hours. Smelling a rat, the cute lady soon after mid-day wended hor way in the direction of tho school. On tho road she met one of the scholars whom she knew. " Why aint Bill boon to school lately Airs ?" says the lad. " Why aint he been to school, indeed ; why he goes regular," returns Airs R. " That bo b'lowod for a yarn," retorts tho boy, "he aint been for six weeks." On hearing this Airs Robinson did not say much but thought a good deal, and tho state of her mind may bo described in the language of Tennyson : "Sea was her wrath rough work ing after storm." At this moment, who should appear in sight but Will himself, who after a morning spent in manufacturing a fishing line, had come to tho school neighbourhood on the spec of gettinga Loan of two or three slices of bread and butter from ono of his " pals," so as to render it unnecessary for him to return homo for dinner. The young reprobate sighted the maternal form with instinctive quickness, and unerringly detected her hostile intention" with regard to himself. So he at once turned and fled. His mamma gave chase. Down Short-street and up Jermyn-stroet west went tho pair, twenty good yards between them, and neither able to decrease or increase the interval. Past the church, down the hill, and round Jermyn-strcet again sped the young rascal, and after him panted the motherly feet, and glowed two very unmotherly cyos. Three times round the block was the race run, and the maternal wind was yetting shorter and shorter, but still the resolute woman kept up the chase. The boys had gone into school by this time, and only ono or two spectators viewed the race. Some said the pair were in training for the Ellerslie Sports, and one ventured a supposition that it was something to do with the new show. At last two big boys Stopped the breathless William, and held hi'iu " for his mother."

" Of the meeting, who shall toll. On the greeting who shall dwell, Who can paint the language fell That was hoard in Eden's dell ?"

There was a "to-do" when the two came to § ether, Mrs R. could not make enough of her oy. She evidently wanted to knock him into two, one Willie not being sufficient. Ho, on the other hand, let his hands ami feet roam lovingly Vound his mother's form, and wound up after a terief but close cmhirace by sending hor to earth and sitting on her. But she struggled up again, and then the two went at it again, aud it "was no pood thing for either till Mr Worthington's interposition turned tho tide against the boy. A hasty explanation between the mastor and the mother folio wed. and Willie, that brightboy.boing borne off. the mother sat down and wept by tho way for her boy.her bonny boy." The boy.a few minutes later was heard weeping loudly for him solf, and sundry sounds between the sobs fully oxplained the reason why.

THE DIORAMA.

TitE really beautiful diorama of tho scones of the Franco-Prussian War, tho scenery of the £?ile and the Suez Canal, was unrolled last even ing in the Lome-street Hall, but, owing to the unfavorable state of tho weather, the audience was not so large as tho intrinsic merits of the eutortadjimnieht deserved. Tho diorama was unqnestioflably one of tho best which has been exhibited in this city, and every man connectod with it seemed well-prepared for his particular work. The musio.under the direction of Profos sor Cops, was all that could bo desired,and when wo state that the lecturer was Mr Charles Searle, readers will be certain of a genuine des criptive treat. Mr Searle described the pictures as thoy passed in review with his wonted speak ing ability and knowledge of the poetry of geo graphy. Theldiorama was three-fold. Thelnrst comprised the Suez route to the wondrous Nile ; the second, illustrated the chief events of the Franco-Prussian War ; and tho third the battle of Woerth and tho town of Metz, giving among other scenes tho " Soldier's Dream of Home," immortalized in one of Camp bell's best songs, amd realised in many a soldier's life. The grand final tableau after the artist, Gustave Dorc, brought an excellent entertain ment to a satisfactory close.

BILLIARDS.

ROBERTS V. WESTON.

The return match between these two famous players came off at the Mechanic's Institute last night, Weston receiving as usual 500 out of 1000. The game, which bogan at twelve minutes past eight, was over at seven minutes past ton, beiug won by Weston by 132 point.. There were abnut 100 gentlemen present. The game was well marked by Mr Hart. The evening was unfavourable for good play, the moist atmos phere causing tho cushions to be damp and dead, and the cues sticky. To these causes several otherwise very incomprehensible misses were ascribablo. THE GAME. Roberts gave the usual miss, and. after a little fiddling. Weston wont away with breaks of 23, 7, 11. 17, i, and 17, his opponent answering with C, 11, 18. 10, and 12. Game—Roberts, 67 ; Weston 589. The former then got in for 32 including six spots, and passed the 100 at B\3o. Immediately after lie ran up 17 (!) spots). Weston got to 600 at 8.31, and went from 601 to 637, with a very pretty break of 33. Roberts put on 15, and Weston having put on a few more, the English Cham pion made the break of the evening, 119, scored off really fine strokes, in which the preoision of the strength was very noticeable. The break included only 9 spots, the chief strokes were a series of soft, cannons under the top cushion. Game : Boberfs 303. Weston 659. Two or three ineffectual attempts on both sides, and then Roberts put. together 33 by some good middle pocket losers. &'c. Small scores followed, till at 661 Weston put on 15, including a six-sin. , and by other contributions reached 700 at 8.58. Roberts failed live or six times, playing in a listless manner. At 315 lie put in a 28 by all round play, adding 17 directly after, which would have been more had he not made a miss cue. Tho next breaks of note were.2o from Roberts and 11 from Weston, who directly after put on 13 and 19, and arrived at his ninth hundred at 9-16. Roberts made 21, 6, 3, 18, 9, If, and the game was called at 9.22.—Roberts 500, Weston 820. There was no interval. From 506, Roberts •went to 533 by cannons and spot strokes. Wes ton was quiet, and Roberts from 537 ran to 557 by th© prettiest break he has made in Auckland. It was composed almost enteroly of nursing can nons under the top cushion, which ho played with rare delicacy of touch and nicety or judg ment. He was much applauded. The play thus became slow for a time, Roberts next noteworthy break being 23, which took him into his seventh hundred at) 9"35. Weston at this point played badly, ami Roberts, getting another nursery near the spot, contributed another prettily played 55, including three "spots." Weston, by small scores, brought his total to SC6. From 701 Roberts jumped to 711 by a pretty 40, in which tbe nursing cannons were again conspicuous. At 887—753, Weston ran up to 902 by a well played 15. Roberts made the game look more favour able by running up 46 by a good run through loser, "and some cannons admirably judged for strength. He added 28 (6 spots) and 19. a littlo while later, and the game was called, Roberts 819, Woston 909, a state of affairs which gave promise of an exciting finish. Weston made breaks at 8, 7, and 21, and Roberts 16, bringing the game to WeSTton, 910 ; Roberts, 868. Hero Weston got well in, and playing with pretty judgment antl somo luck, ran out with an unfinished break of 60 at 107. .rpThc play was not of a very high character for JaSiicrfoi-mers engaged, but the weather had a S.''. f r e__.]deal to do with this. Weston played bettor ...-proportion, than Roberts. Some fancy tricks with the balls having been exhibited by Roberts the evenjng's entertainment closed, and tha English Champion mado his farewell bow. Mr Roberts left for the South to-day. He leaves for Melbourne in the Ringarooma. Wo observe that the 1 ,-euch playerJCarmc has chal lenged Roberts to play the English and French games for £200. He offers to take 600 at the JSegUsli game and give 100 at the French game.

INSURANCE CASE.— SUPE RINTEN

DENT V. NATIONAL

The case of the Superintendent versus National Insurance Company is likely to last a couple of days. The company affirms that tbe Czarcwitcb was not lost by the perils of the sea or by perils insured against in the policy, but that the barque at the time of her wreck was unseaworthy, and also at tbe time of tbe plant being put on board of ber. When the Provincial Government completed the charter of the Czarewitch, they asked Mr Jack if lie would accept tbe risk, he replying '' mo st certainly, she is a strong and good vessel, fit for any tiling but an open roadstead. I shall be only too glad." If the Insurance Company win, the Government have a good action against Proudfoot, owner of tbe Czarewitch ; so that they are protected in either case. DEATH OF MR BUNTEN.

The "Guardian" on Earl Carnar vons's Reply.

The "Guardian" says that the Earl of Carnarvon's reply has given a different aspect to the question of Abolition, and will cause deep regret to those who have ear nestly striven against the triumph of Centralism.

Thatdeep dissatisfaction and un roet will supervenefor yearsis a prospect Unit •we can't shut out from our eyes, nor do avc see what will allay it, or give any hope of staying the ruinous reign of a beauracracy hut the removal of the seat of Government from Wellington, and to that the efforts of the country must be now directed.

Thk Publisher, in announcing the Fifth Issue of this work, has much coniidenee in commending it. as an Invaluable Advertising Medium. The Book is widely circulated in all parte of this and neighbouring Colonies; is placed in the leading English and Colonial Libraries; at the chief stations on the Pacific Railway, for the use of Travellers to aud from the Colonies; and in other important positions, to secure publicity within and beyond New Zealand. We claim, however, for it the greatest value to local business men as a Permanent Work of Reference, which finds its way into the homo of nearly every settler in the Province, and is con sulted almost daily throughout the year. It may be submitted with some degree of confidence, that the importance to commercial men of being represented in a book of this kind, cannot be over-estimated. A further reason, which might be urged why such a work should receive support from every one interested in the welfare of Audi land, is the practical benefit conferred upon the City and Province by the annual publication of a book setting forth in an interesting form the capabili ties of this part of tho Colony; its history, description of country settlements, roads and other means of access, cost of carriage, and the mass of other information, revised to latest date every year. The Book—which is the Largest Publication ever ottered for a Shilling in New Zealand —must depend almost wholly upon Advertisements to defray the heavy cost; and as every business man is interested in its success, favourable attention to its claims is solicited with some degree of assurance that they will receive this year, as heretofore, a cordial recog nition. The ALMANAC AND HANDBOOK of 1877 will be far in advance of any of its predecessors ; the whole of its contents new, written specially, and of a more than ordinary instructive character. The Book will also be Illustrated with Portraits OK Auckland.Public Men ; and the Publisher, from the Annually Increasing Sale, and great popularity, is in a position to Guarantee a Circulation of Several Thousand Copies. The work will be issued at the old Price: ONE SHILLING. HENRY BRETT, PUBLISHER, "Evening Star" Office. mHE AUCKLAND GRAPHIC To~- JL morrow (Saturday). A Glimpse of Par nell on the Rink, &c.

LINABURY & CO., 204 &20G, Queen-s're.ft [advertisement.] Ponsonby Road, October 20, 1876. MR. EDITOR, SIR,- —I simply wish, to state that Inspector Goldie has stated a deliberate, falsehood when he wrote to the Council that "be examined the said premises frequently in his visits round the Ponsonby Road." 1 am prepared to prove by witnesses that he has never examined mine or adjoining premises till he was sent for, and even did not know where the nuisance existed till 1 went for him ; and had ho discharged bis duty when bo examined my premises, by only going a few yards to the adjoining allotment, he then would have seen a stinking nuisance stand ing- for 18 months, lie chose to give a one-sided report, and never implicated tbe party that caused the nuisance, carefully avoiding their names, and making it appear that I was in the habit of emptying my closet "in my yard, as he was told," though he inspected my yard and pronounced it free from smell and clean, before lie was " told," and after he was " told," when he had his eyes to see, and if he did his duty he did not require to be " told." The whole thing is characterised by a desire by Goldie to cloak the real guilty parly, and an oUlcer that is paid by the people to do his duty faithfully and impartially, and act otherwise, is unlit for even the billet of an Inspector of Nuisances. If Goldie requires to know what I have done and do with my nightsoil, he had better ask me. But I may say that Councillor Dickson, Sergt. Gamble, Mr. Lowe, and others, have seen my yard, and found it clean. I have erected a five feet six inch fence, close boarded, so ihat my fowls cannot annoy my neighbours, but I could not "prevent drunken and dirty people living near me, " Obediently yours, J. WRIGHT. Ponsonby Road and Hopetown-street. MR. EDITOR. Sir,—l was surprised on seeing a report in thi. morning's '' Herald," reflecting on a respectable neighbour, Mr. Wright. Five weeks ago Mr. Wright went for Mr. Goldie to inspect a filthy closet in the ground occupied by Cochrancs, and used by them. -The stench was unbearable, and had been in existence for many months. I saw Goldie inspect Mr. Wright's yard, and fully ex pected him to visit the nuisance complained of in the next yard, lie went away, not taking trouble to attend to it. I was obliged to go twice for (.oldie, and have him up, and pointed out the hole of nuisance merely sprinkled over with earth. He pafn stick in it, and found what was there. Some of the stinking offal has been taken away in shovelfuls in daylight on two occasions, and scatterred about in the presence of Mr. Wright and myself. I have been to Mr. Wright's yard at various times, and always found it neat and orderly. The nuisance on the next ground at this time had not been emptied by anyone. Goldie has been most insulting to my wife. Yolirs truly, CHARLES LOWE. ED EN| " V I N B HOTEL, EDEN TERRACE.
