An Important Question and its Answer.— What, is the host, means of fortifying (lie system against influences prejudicial to health, such as bad air, unwholesome water, sudden changes or temperature, intense cold or heat i The rational answer is—by sustaining and increasing Ihe con stitutional and physical strength, and thus en dowing nature with the capacity to resist the influences referred to.

" A PROPHET is not without honour save in his awn country." It must be quite refreshing occasionally to hear a candid opinion of oneself, in fact "to see oursels as ithers see us," and it may be, perhaps, a source of consolation to the pJehian mind that even such high and mighty personages as Marquises are not exempt from ordinary criticism. The Marquis of Nonnanby—for whom in a general way we entertain feel ings of the profoundest respect —has been wont on occasions to speak of hi.s vice-regal residence in Queensland in terms of affec tionate remembrance, and if there is any truth in current report, he spent a very dignified and easy term of oiiice in that sunny clime. He was not bored by any great political .struggle, nor did lie ever feel it incumbent upon him to write outrageously one-sided despatches to the Secretary of State. So far, his life in Queensland glided away in a halcyon calm, undisturbed by any ripples of popular clamour or dissatisfaction, and if he made no fervid admirers by the exhibition of any shining administrative ability, lie at least had the consolation of knowing that his harmlessness saved him from making enemies. It does appear, however, that he once ventured to give an opinion, and it washi favour of "Territorial Separation" in Queensland. Of course, many wide differences exist between the political circumstances of Queensland and those of New Zealand, and it might be unfair to contrast the opinions which the Marquis then expressed on the sub ject of Separation in Queensland, with those which he is popularly credited Avith now in regard to this colony, and in the direction of which his known sympathies would undoubtedly impel him. Enough for us that it has seemed good in the eyes of the Marquis to alter his views in our case, and really where such elevated indi viduals express any opinions at all it is not for us to do otherwise than make a lowly salaam, and gaze in awe and Avondor at the phenomenon. Certainly, avc have o;ice or twice ventured to hint in a whisper that the Marquis was not likely to set the South l'acilic on lire by any burning eloquence, or to startle old identities by any brilliant dis play of statesmanship, aud if avc have Avronged him we shall be glad to hear '•Jie other side. Our correspondence columns are open alike to the peer and the peasant—especially the peasant. At all events our opinions are not without ■ corroboration from an entirely disinterested source. There has been lately some agita tion m CooktoAvn in favour of the territorial separation or tha Palmer from Queensland and at a recent public meeting some of the speakers strongly urged the people to petition "the lnrone," just as Mr. Macan dreAv has been doing in Otago. A Mr. Bailey was one of the leading speakers, and ; this is how the "Cooktown Courier," in • commenting on his speech, pays an affection ate tribute to the Marquis of Normauby -.— I Mrl!u!'.\v ",■r;«j f>.<l to rely on the authority'of ! what i-j »'.•-» i>'M..yi<l n call a statesman, me.an |«V Ur-.l No:-uiut»y.

respectable nobleman, he gave us in Queensland very little opportunity of judging it. Except a fashion of making short speeches, as destitute of new ideas as possible, a very strong approbation of Kanaka labour, and an evident desire to see the working classes put in what that decorous old nobleman call their "proper place," wo quite l'aiU-;l to detect any statesmanship, good, bad, or in Uifcront, about Lord Normanby. A cause that r«:ie:-i on his expressed opinion asits strong er support, must indeed be ill a poor ease.

This is just wluit we have thought all along, ami we are glad to find tluit other persons are equally capable of appreciating the Marquis's amiable qualities.

The portions of the lecture referring t,o jrrumMing wives, sinners, and the now famous tailed men of Kali 11, whose appearance was ko graphica 11 y illustrated in a late issue of the Star, form choice morceaus, likely to interest the wife, the theologian, the naturalist, and the si Lidoni of ethnology.

An elderly woman named Smith was in a great state of excitement this morning al the Police Court. .She said she had lost her " Shetland Boy, Peter," who had gone oil'with her hor.se and cart, which she had bought with her own money, and as Peter ■was "on the drink" she was afraid he would make away Avith her horse and cart, and then her little poultry and grass connection would be at an end. The poor woman was .sadly affected by the loss of Peter, avlio had been steady fora lon-time. Sergeant O'Connor promised to do all he could towards the restoration of faithful Peter, and thought he had a clue to his whereabouts. -Mrs Smith retired with a hopeful smile upon her countenance.

The " Lyttelton Times" gives the fol lowing particulars of the recent suicide in Christchurch :—Shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning Sergeant Beck was in formed that a woman, named Margaret Curry, domestic servant ill the employ of Mr James Grey, of Lichfield-strcet east, had cttt her throat at the house of her em ployer, and was in a dying condition. He at once hastened to the house, and found the unfortunate woman lying on the floor in an upper room, with a fearful gash in her throat, the windpipe and two of the main arteries being divided. The razor with which the deed had been committed was lying by her side on the floor, in a pool of blood. " The sergeant at once sent for Dr. Park, but the unfortunate young wo man only lived about twenty minutes after the sergeant's arrival. She had been in Mr Grey's service for about three years, and was about thirty years of age.

Ho tried to re cover it but did not succeed, as she cast it to her husband in an adjacent room.

We described briefly yesterday the heroic conduct of Mr Koulks when he was attacked by a dog in Lornc-strect. This morning some escaped lunatic lias forwarded us ;i lamentably dilapidated pair of hoots which have evidently been cobbled until scarcely a vestige of the original fabric remains, and lias accompanied the present with the following touching lines:—"The pair of boots warn on the occasion by Mr Foulks when bitten by Mr Clifton's dog. Please to exhibit them." Now we do not care for the boots, at all (what boots it), but if the man who sent, them can place himself at our disposal for a day or two, we should not object to turn an honest penny for charitable purposes by exhibiting him in a glass case.

The Wellington " Post "says :—" In our last issue we stated that Captain IJowden, of the schooner Marmion, had won tnOUOin an Auckland sweep on the Melbourne Cup. We regret to say that we are somewhat misinformed on the .subject, the real amount won by Captain Bowden being only about £100."

An individual who certainly " lacks not wit" sends us the following:—"lt would sceni, that an important change in the diet of the "Orari," passengers has been recommended, and carried into effect this morning. Perhaps the superior medical oiiicer, or his cadet, lias pronounced in favour of a change, so that the removal might act as antidote to surfeited and over burdened stomachs. Loud groans were beard this morning among the immigrants that remain in the Barrack, when the beautifully cooked viands—bread and water —were announced for breakfast and dinner. The potatoes, the beef and mutton', were found wanting. The new chums are perhaps not aware of the very nice way we have in New Zealand of telling persons to go, where they are not any longer required. But still a basin of sou]) at least, might have been given at the parting scene, and the good-bye heard, from the "officer in charge with the gentle tear-drop exchanged. We certainly think with the authorities, that a change of diet is absolutely required. Who knows but violent diarrhoea might be caused through the too sudden change from ship diet, to food of a finer quality. And immi grants cost no mean price. The " Saturday Night" committee of the Temperance Hull, will be of a most interes ting character, to-morrow evening, compri sing songs, musical selections, and dances, as will appear hiourudvcrtisenient columns.

A meeting of the ratepayers of the Educa tional District of Otahuhu, took place on Wednesday evening-, 15th inst. The business of the meeting was to hear what progress had been made, towards erecting the proposed new school building. The Board of Education some time since, voted £175, towards the erection of a new school house, on the understanding that the district contribute £75 ; since then the Board have supplemented their grant by £30, for the purchase of a site. The Dis trict .School Committee having fixed upon a site, at the corner of the Great South Road, and the road loading to the Railway station, which can be purchased for £30, called the meeting on Wednesday evening, in order that immediate steps might be taken to raise the £75. Mr. Luke, the chairman of the District School Commit tee, laid the matter before the meeting, when after some desultory conversation, Mr. John Gordon proposed "That the allotment named by the committee be ac cepted by the ratepayers, as the site for a new school." Mr. Plumley seconded the proposal, which was carried unanimously. This being all the business, the chairman dismissed the meeting. From the tone of the meeting, there is but little doubt, but that the money will be raised, as nearly all present signified their intention of contri buting. A new school-room, and a teacher's house are absolutely necessary for this district. On some days, there are more than one hundred scholars in attendance, an attendance which renders the present building both unhealthy and inconvenient. The Board of Education having behaved so liberally, the people of the district should surely now do their part, or else Otahuhu will soon become a very undesirable place to live in. Papakura, Woodside, and other places, with fewer inhabitants than Ota huhu, have recently had new district schools built in their respective districts, Avliy should Otahuhu be behind? The present committee have done all in their power, in the matter ; it now* rests entirely with the peopIe.—CORKESPONDENT.

Prudent housewives, and those who desire to lay out their money to the. best aduantajjes, arc offered additional facilities for attaining1 that desideratum by the determination of Mr Uattray of the New Zealand House, Queen-street:, to commence a Kreat clearing1 out yule of his new find specially selected stock which will commence on Monday next.

To the Editor: Sir, -Many persons will be struck by the great difference in the tendering for the work for the Mount Eden Highway Boards, varying job they do in round numbers from £(>(JO to £1800. This is easily accounted for on examining both the plan and the ground. A fair estimate for No. 2 plan would exceed £'iOOO, Xo. 1 £900, but on examining the ground it is at once obvious that the work shewn could never be carried out according to plan and sections. The question is, what will the Board do I Try and carry out an impractical plan which would require the expenditure of about £21)1)1), or allow the contractor to do what he can for the im provement of the road for the amount of his contract, which is sufficient for the.purpose? This is one of the consequences of employing cheap engineers. I understand the plans were prepared by an oflicial in a public office who, as usual, works for half-price in, opposition to private practitioners.—l am, etc., P. J. Dalton.

THKIJE is considerable public interest t;ikcn in the launch of the now iron steamer, l>uilt by Mr YeiMnaus in Albert-Street. The fact iv the vessel having to be carried over quite one hundred yards of land to the water

is siiiHcient to account for the numerous spectators, who are watching her gradual descent, but there is a cause apart from this which invests the launch with more than ordinary importance. This is the first decked iron steamer ever built.in Auckland, and its construction may therefore bo .said to inaugurate a new epoch in the history of shipbuilding in this city. Shipbuilding is looked upon as tho staple, and peculiar industry of our northern capital, and it is highly important llial we should keep pace with the improve ments whirl) are made year after year in tint as in other branches of trade. Although with us here kauri timber is more plentiful than iron, we cannot help untieing that at the

present time wooden sailing' vessels are gradually losing ground, and are having their pi.in: supplied ■with iron steamers. 11 will noi d.n for v.-i to I);; solely dependent

on mir sin;:t-saiHng coasters for our repu tation us shipbuilders, and it aflbrds us on this account, great pleasure to see our local iron-working linns ('.truing their atten tion to an industry which, in the course ol time, may develop into one of the mainstays of uur prosperity. It is just a question whether Mr Yeoman's vessel will be the first iron vessel launched in Auckland, for "Messrs. Fraser and Thine have a much larger iron .-teamei- at the point of comple tion in. Mechanics' Bay, and Mr Yeoman may possibly not got his steamer into the water till Mr Frascr's boat isulloal. It is more probable, liowev-.'r, that a day or two will intervene) hutwis-m the launches.-. Both vessels have been built "on spec,"that is to say, to no one's order. This indicates that our local iron-workers are conlideut in their skill and resources, and feel assured that tin; vessels, when built, will be worth the money invested on them. A great deal lias been said at one time and another on the question of buying steamers at home against having them' built, here, We shall now have the means of arriving at a prac tical settlement of the question, bulb as regards cost and quality of workmanship. We trust the result will prove that New Zealand iron shipbuilders are able to suc cessfully compete with their European rival.-. '

THE FIRE AT RUATANGATA.— FURTHER PARTICULARS.

A FIRE broke out on Sunday afternoon, in the dwelling house of Mr. John Hodgson, of Ruatangata, near Wangarei, and completely * destroyed the house, and furniture. Every means were used to save the property, but without avail, and it was with difficulty, that the children were got out, they being asleep at the time. The cause of the tire cannot be ascertained ; it broke out behind the chimney. Mr Hodg son was insured in the Norwich Union, the house for £200, and the furniture for £100. The proprietor, however, is a considerable loser by the lire, as his house and furniture were valued at £500.

THE ENGLISH THAMES.

luis picturesque panorama of England's classi cal river, was presented last evening to an ap preciative audience for the tenth time. We have referred to this panorama in deserving terms, and arc not disposed to retract any word stated in its favour- It is excellent throughout, and, for a Scotchman, Mr. Kennedy's explan atory remarks are correct and appropriate. Mr. Cotterell's imitation of the grotesque and ludicrous in character, created not a little amuse ment and laughter, while Mrs. Cotxcrell's songs were sung with feeling, and were evidently en joyed. The orchestra performancs were ex tremely gratifying. The panorama will be exhibited to-morrow afternoon, and for the last time in the evening.

RAILWAY OFFICALS IN DANGER.

Should a bombardment of Auckland ever take place there are a few persons who may be safely depended on to sit still amid the falling- of the Donibs, and proceed with their ordinary avocations as if nothing unusual were happining. The persons referred to are the railway officials at Britonmrt station, and possibly some of the citizens residing within a radius of a couple of hundred yards of it. We were astonished this morning to hear of the " hairbreadth 'scapes" which these xiseful individuals undergo almost daily. Only yesterday a blast -which was lived from the neighbouring hill sent blocks of sandstone flying1 round them in a manner that was far from pleasant. One of these, as large as a sailor's chest, fell at the end of the platform, close to where this morning half-a-dozen carts Avere taking in meat from the butcher's meat truck. Another massive block alighted on the line of rails in rear of the station, and smashed one of the connecting rods at the points in two. On asking an official if this kind of , thing was of frequent occurrence he said, > " No, not now, but it used to be," and then he mentioned several instances that had occurred in his time. One day Ihe window of the station-master's room was smashed ■with a Hying- piece of rock ; another day a piece about 4 cwt. crashed through the corrugated iron roof of the coal-room ; then he pointed out a crack in the board roof of the station, and acldeu, " Yes, that was a fair hit, and if it had come through it would have woke up the passengers who were waiting below : but there, we don't take any notice of these little.accidents now, in fact we rather like them ; they vary the mono tony of the work, and put a little excite ment into it" Everyone to his taste, say we, and we have, no possible objection to otter if our railway friends like a little amateur 'shelling, but, for our own part, we should like to be warned off when the Bring is going on ; and, by-the-bye, tho contrac tors had better secure themselves against a P-QssiUe charge of, aiwisiawgUtsr,

Rev. G. Brown's Lecture.

THE TAILED MEN OF KALILI.

Pursuant to announcement in the STA^~+he Rev. G. Brown, "Wesloyan Missionary,',; Dm New Ireland, New Britain, and Duke oM \ r k Island, delivered a lecture in the Chon?^ last evening, descriptive of the above i as their inhabitants, and the mission rt,. jtly established there. The hall was crowded. J. C. Firth, Esq., occupied the chair. The Rev. Mr. Wallace opened the proceedings with prayer. The Chairman introduced the rev. lecturer in an appropriate speech, in which he dwelt at some length on the results of missionary labours as pioneers of civilization. The Rev. G. Brown then came forward, and. was received with applause. He reviewed the programme which he had sketched out in Auck land two years ago. He then went on to describe THE DEVOTION OF THE FIJIAN TEACHERS as follows :—Just as we were about to clear the ship at Levuka, we found there was going to be a small difficulty with the Custom House officers. We were told we were not at liberty to clear the ship. Wo learned that the teachers had been waited upon hy a member of the Provisional Government at night, and in the morning those teachers told us what had been said. We re ceived an olncial document from the Govern ment asking me to come up to the Government Buildings at any time during the day. I went, taking the teachers with me, at 11 o clock, and waited upon the Provisional Governor, Mr Layard, and the Council. Mr. Layard told me that reports had been going about Lcvuka that these teachers were being taken away to a foreign land without knowing the dangers to which they would be exposed, and the difficul ties they would have to encounter, or the cir cumstances in which they would be placed, and he felt it his duty, as being m charge at the time to see that these natives thoroghly understood where they were going to. 1 told Mr Layard I should be very glad indeed for him to ask the teachers, and he said, "Now you must know you are British subjects, just the same as Mr Brown and myself or anyone here, and you are subjects of Queen Victoria, and no missionary has a right to tell you to go to a place where you do not wish to go. lam sent here by the Queen to look after you, and if you get killed or starved, the Queen will be very angry with me." He told them they were going to a heathen place, where there were cannibals, where there was great difficulty in getting food, that the rice which Mr Brown was taking would not be sufficient to maintain life, and they were sure to die of disease, &c, &c. If you like to stay here no one can take you away. The teachers asked whether they should answer individually or one could answer for all, and Mr Layard said they could please thenselves. Then one man named Hemina Tonga got up and after reviewing what Mr Laird had said, replied in words which I shall remember till my dying flay -"Our wish is to go and do the work of Christ, and if we die we die, and if we live we live." (Applause). The lecturer went on to shew how the influence of the mis sionary was civilising the natives, breaking down 'intertribal hostility and isolation, and improving the social condition of the natives. He combattcd the argument that the Natives must be civilised first and then Christianised. A CHALLENGE TO LAY CIVILIZERS. "I wish some of those philanthropise people would take an island in the South :.---as and bring the people up to that stage of civilization, and spend money in doing 80, and when they have got them to that stage, we missionaries will be ready to go. But if we are to wait until the natives* have been brought to that stage of civilization, I do not think you would have, many missionary meetings to attend." The lecturer next described his proceedings at. Fiji, Samoa, and Rotumah.

THE VARIOUS METHODS OF COUNTING.

" The distinguishing mark of the Papuans is that they count to 5, while the Eastern Polyne sians count to 10. The one counts 1, 2, 3, 1,5, and then 1 too, 2 too, andsoon. The Malay Polynesians count up to 10. But the Papuans in counting couples count up to 10. There are different met hod s of counting tar os and puddings, but they count one couple, two couple, and so on up to 9. The grammar of these people is also different from the Eastern Polynesians. In the words "taku matua," my father, they put the pro noun first, but in Fiji and Papua they put a pre-nominal afilx on. (The lecturer gave speci mens of words). Some words are analagous to Maori and Sanioan words, and others totally diii-'erent.

DIFFICULTIES OF DIFFERENT DIALECTS. They speak one language at one place, and another 20 miles away. The people living at Parnel would not understand v single word of the people living ill Queen-street, and the people" living in Queen-street would not understand a single word spoken by those living at the North Shore. THE GEOLOGICAL FORMATION. The lecturer described the investigations of the missionaries as to whether the Caroline lime stones of the Duke of York islands were thrown up or created by subsidence, and the differences of opinion amongst them on that subject. He gave some geological specimens to a professor of the Sydney University, and he stated that the specimens were from New Ireland, evidently from very old rocks, and were very rare speci mens to be found in the South Seas. In some parts of New Ireland it was evident there had been subsidence. The channel between Duke of York and New Ireland is a very deep one, and we thought our investigations would throw some light on the description of mansupials, for we discovered a new species of kangaroo on New Ireland." GOLD PROSPECTING. I have often been asked if there was any gold there, and I had one man who said he had fotmd gold, but I never saw any. He always said he had got it, or was going so get it, but he has not got it yet, and Ido not believe he ever will. Mind, I do not say that because I do not want you to go there. If I could have found gold I believe I would have got a bit, but I do not believe there is any gold in New Ireland at all. COGNATE LANGUAGES. I was very much interested in reading Captain Moresby's book in which he speaks of certain population, being similar to our Maoris, in fact, while I was in Sydney, I happened to meet, in George-street, a teacher who had been down there, and I asked him about the language. He said " Your word is so and so, and that is is Samoan also.

A NEW PEOPLE. On going to Spacious I3ay, 50 miles down the coast, to our astonishment we were amongst a different race altogether. They had never seen a white man, and were very much surprised when they saw us. We had men on board from Fiji, Samoa, New Ireland, Duke of York, the Southern part of New Britain, and Blanch Bay, and they did not understand a word spoken by these people. These people had straightcr hair than ours, the men were much lighter, and the women occupied a better social position than the Duke of York women do. For instance, they came off in canoes, which the women never did at other places. They were shy and bashful.

. BEAUTY UNADORNED. The people down there do not indulge in much clothes. There is not much chance of sending down much calico at present. In Spacious Bay we found that the men and women wore some little degree of clothing, and it was very gratifying to us to see that wore any at all. In some places they wear none at all.

•PICALABUS AND MARAMARAS. The lecturer then proceeded to describe how the people were divided into two classes, Picalabus and iVlaramaras, and how the cocoanut plantations were owned separately by the two classes, inter-marriaj-es forbidden, and hereditary chieftainship prevented. He believed the Picaeabu andMaramara wotild be found to be tho distinguishing mark between the Papuan and the Malay Polynesian.

THE DUK-A-DUKS. The first time I was in a village I heard a peculiar cry in the bush as of somcTwild animal. I wanted to know whether it was a bird or a beast, and they said it was the Duk-a-duk. By and by a peculiar tap of a wooden drum was heard, and immediately afterwards I saw a masked figure. You can imagine a large mask covering the shoulders, much like a candle extinguisher, tapering up to a point, and painted in colours. These figures dance, and are privileged to strike any one who comes in their way. The women and children run out of the way. The figures dance in front of the chiefs, and then go away into the bush. They attach, great importance to the custom, but why, I never could make out. FOLLY OF TRYING TO KEEP A SECRET

FROM A WOMAN. They try to keep from the women the fact that these Duk-a-duks are men, and that is about the most absurd part of the performance, to think they can keep the secret from the ladies, or that there can be any great mystery, and the ladies not know what it is. The lecturer proceeded to describe the peculiar customs of the Duk-a-duks, their dances, resembling the Maori war dance, etc. CHALK FIGURES AND TRACES OP ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS. Ihe lecturer spoke of the chalk figures, some of wm'chhehadplaeedinthelviusoum. Sonicoltkese figures were in a praying attitude. Where did the natives get these ideas, and whence these hats, resembling helmets, some of them like those worn by the old cavaliers. It was thought they were remnants of the old Spanish buccaneers, of which the traces had been lost. In Yap, in the Caroline Islands, they found rites resembling those of the lionnui Catholic Church, • and the Spanish traditions shewed that a Roman Catholic priest had lived there. SUPERSTITION. $S&. The lecturer also described the superstitious.*"^^ fears of the natives in regard to bewitching, and, '- /' his efforts to disabuse their minds of it. PAYING FOR COMPLIMENTS. He described the custom of paying for com pliments. An old gentleman placed a piece of branch on Ins shoulder, and to iho lecturer's astonishment he found he was expected to pay for it by a piece of tobacco or a string of beads. .Next moiiungho was complimented on shooting a pigeon, and had to pay again; and very sooj fee was I'eco.ivjng compliments on, a^ sidca.
