"POLLY PLUM" AND THE LADIES OF AUCKLAND.

\T<> the Editor oc the Evening Star). Sir,—Wiii you kindly permit me through yuur columns io repeat aiew faois, respecting wuion 0 ir mend. -iird CoiCiough, appears io L-c.s'e baen miaxutunnud. -A.n advertisement in vie '•^vUciiuu Limes" last February, said the head mitfU'Cus oi: the Practising School, Cnnst eiiureh, was to have £360 per year. My autho rity for believing Tunam to have a .borough School waa the Chief Inspector, who said so when advising me to take the appointment in January, IS7.'\ with a conditional income ol! £l!00 per year. My simple reason for declining to take* permanently either that school, or that at e.tner East or West Christ church, was my determination to keep myself free for the appointment of " Principal of the JL'emaie Training School," the prospect of which alone took me to Canterbury. I hold an English first class certificate, have never had a public school m this province, and therefore have never applied for or held an Auckland certificate, ihe Canterbury Board of Education classed me without examination in the highest grade of the second class, the chairman informing me that a knowledge of Algebra and Euclid were absolutely necessary for a Canter bury Ist. I, therefore, studied those subjects in the university classes. ahould I return to Christchurch, which I shall only do as "Principal of the Female Training School," I shall be ex amined in them and be classed as Canterbury Ist. While the Normal School was building I took Charge " temporarily" of the West Christchurch Borough School (girls): during which time I experienced the greatest courtesy from the Board : the Chairman always treating me as ' a lady who could assist in organising the Borough Schools;" while my relation toward the Local Committee was simply that of "temporary Head Mistress. The only foundation lor imagining that this Committee and 1 did not work harmoniously, is, I suppose, that told me by a member of it, who said that body were not pleased with me because I declined taking their appointment permanently, after my income had been raised in one year from £160 to £243, with a prospect of £300. I considered that as 1 had engaged myself "temporarily they had no grievance, wheh I, perhaps, thought I had, in their delay to separate the girls play ground from that of the boys. I should be sorry indeed for there to be any ill-will on either side. and therefore regret that these facts haye been dragged into public print. From the day that I "temporarily" took charge, the head master ceased to have any control over the girls, who were from that time separated from the boys. I became greatly attached to my pupils, who cave me repeated proofs that the feeling was mutual, while their orderly and industrious behaviour elicited praise from the Inspectors at every one of their visits, but especially so from th.i Chief Inspector at the close of his examina tion, immediately before I gave up charge. Some nine or ten passed for pupil teachers, tour went up for scholarships, and about twenty more were preparing—some of whom, I gather from our friend's letter, have since passed—under die. auspices of Miss Brittan, a lady of whom I have the highest opinion, and who will be not a little surprised at seeing her name introduced into this attack upon the ladies of Auckland, for had she my experience of them, and were she asked, she would, I am sure, agree with me in believing that there arc many ladies in Auckland who, with a tew hints would furnish us with a most eilicient staif for a girls liigh school, nor can I discover anything in either of our friend's letters to shako that opinion. When our girls need Greek, we may possibly find, even in Auckland, a master who has studied classics. Permit me, through your columns, to thank our friend, Mrs. Col clou'-'h, who, by her attack on the ladies ot Auckland, has led to that ventilation of the sub iect by truth which must ultimately be bene ficial to us. Although I have felt it due to my friends, and the cause of higher female education thus to state the simple truth of the facts, upon which such a pretty little fiction has been founded, you, as I, do not think it meet for ladies to take part in a newspaper controversy winch descends to personalities, I must decidedly de cline to continue this correspondence, simply saying that I shall be truly glad to show the letter from which I have quoted the words in inverted commas to any educational authorities and parents of pupils. Thanking you tor your courtesy in inserting this letter, I am, etc.,— S. S. Stothard.

NORTH SHORE SHIP-BUILDING.

Messrs Niccol and Son have not allowed the depression in trade to induce them to discharge their hands, and wait for better times before taking them on again, During the last few months the firm have been busy building a large fore and aft schooner of about 115 tons. Una vessel is now approaching completion, all her planking is up, her decks are laid, and it only remainsto finish fastening her.flt her up i nternally and then launch her. She is a line, bold-looking craft, with moderate rise of floor, very fine ends, and in her construction should hit the happy medium of being able to sail well and carry a good cargo. In length on deck she is 98ft; greatest beam is 21ft; and her depth of hold, 10ft. Her draught, of water, when loaded, will be about 10ft Gin. Great care has been exercised in the building, and Lloyd's surveyor has had his eye upon her all through, so that when finished she wiilbeclassed very highly. Her fastenings are particularly good. Above the water line they con sist of galvanized iron; and below of composition metal and hardwood trenails. In addition to having her beams double-kneed, she has a num ber of iron hanging knees, a source of strength jiot at all common. She has a raised deck, 27ft. long, contrived specially to give plenty of cabin room and ventilation. We shall be able to give a further notice of her when she is linished. We understand the builders are open to any good oiler for her purchase. , Messrs. Niceol and Son have, besides the above, a small centre board schooner, of 17 or 18 tons on hand. She is 40ft. long by 12ft. beam, and sft, deep. Her frame is all up, and she is nearly planked.

I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupport able.

I can sleep well at night, my appetite and general health are much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties.
