The Dayspring on View.

THE Presbyterian missionary schooner Dayspring, Avill from the present time, be open to inspection by the public, avlio Avill not avc think, be slow to appreciate tbe kindness of Captain BraitliAvaite, who has brought his vessel alongside the inner western t.e, so as to enable visitors to go on board without the prohibitive barrier of a Aviiteinian's fee. It Avill not be Avithout interest to our readers, and may perhaps be of service io those who Avish to inspect the Dayspring, if Aye jot down in a cursory way the noteworthy features of the vessel. In the first place, those avlio arc fond of com parisons Avill notice she differs very materi ally from the Melanesian mission vessel. She is longer and slightly larger altogether, and has a raised poop, whereas the Southern Cross has a Hush deck. Her spars are taunter and she is rigged as a three masted schooner, instead of as a barquentine, and she has a figurehead instead of the straight unadorned "stem of the Southern Cross. The Dayspring Avas built at Balmain, Sydney, by Messrs Duncan and Surrey, in 1373. * She AA-as first laid down for a steamer, but her design was altered while she Avas on the stocks, imd her engines Avere never put into her. On the wreck at Aneityum, of the old schooner Dayspring, in 1574, it became necessary to charter a vessel for the mission till another craft Avas built or pur chased. The present schooner was selected and hired for a trip. She performed the work so well, and her accommodation so exactly met the requirements of the missionaries, that it Avas decided to purchase her outright, and on her return to Sydney she soon became the property of the Mis sion. The saloon of the Dayspring is a 'long, narrow apartment, conveniently fitted, and having three cabin berths on either side. Abaft of the saloon are the steAvard's offices, medicine chest, trade 'r/._oom, and other conveniences. Forward of the saloon, on the starboard side, and communicating with it by a doorway and -Diri&o_apanion, is the captain's private apart *Xy"~.y£j&--a very snug little place, comfortably 'V'.:_i__iiished, and from its neatness and nice ''Vr"._ra__bgement, plainly indicating the presence

laiwan-, ,p_. y:; ; --b-_-- - 1-- . t_ei£Sw.c_re of Mrs BraitliAvaite. Correspond tu.is ou tlie Port sicle *s a similarly r;'f._.i-fe4 cabin,'used for the Avomen Avho may ■: -'-■ on board, principally the female teachers. ', '-"'There are half-a-dozen berths here, and «''-':tlife cabin is shut off from access from the £ ' main-dock at night by a thick grating, which admits the air, so necessary in the tropics, Avhile it presents a formidable barrier to any unauthorised intruder. BetAveen the captain's and the women's cabins is a narroAY space Avhich serves as a chart-room, and on a shelf there may be seen the chronometers. In the ; ;i #aist of the vessel are the school-room, and --':| Scholar's bunks, Avhile in the fore-part is the 1 "dwelling place, of the crew, most of Avhom * are native islanders: There is also a spacious hold, where may be seen at the - present moment over a thousand cocoanuts, the sight of whose- heaps effectually dispels the last remaining suspicions of the truth . of the rumour as to the rapaciousness of the children of Dunedin and Wellington. THE CURIOSITIES

Captain BraitliAvaite has many opportu nities ,"of collecting curiosities among the NeAV Hebrides, and the assortment which is noAV on vie\v in the cabin would be gladly b_ught at a high price by the authorities of the British or any other National Museum. Hung round the saloon are specimens of Tapu or Island cloth. This is made from the bark of trees, beaten to a pulp. It is very durable, but takes so much time to manufacture, that at the island where European traders touch regularly, the method of making it is being altogether forgotteh. The native ladies' dresses on view are of the most meagre des cription, and a modern ballet girl would find herself interfered with by the Lord Chamber lain, if she were to attempt to wear her skirts so short. Here again Aye have a very large collection of native war clubs, from the single handed shillalegh-looking Aveapon, to the formidable double-handed battle axe. Most of these clubs are decently carved by means of shells Avhich the Ngunese, as the NeAV Hebrides islanders are called, use instead of knives. Several, from their appearance, look as if they had been extensively used, and tAvo Avhich are splintered just below the head, suggest a forcible argument having taken place as to which was the hardest—the club or a nigger's skull. The jdadies especially Avill b*e interested in some very curious looking plumes or head-dresses. There are three kinds of these. The short black plume is that Avorn on ordinary occasions— the long AAdiite one is the festival head piece, but when the long black plume is mounted look out, for Avar is meant. Bows and arrows of fantastic but elegant designs, some of them with their points envenomed, are also prominent, as Avell as collections of spears and darts, some of which are tipped with human bone. A very great curiosity indeed is a Tannaman's hair, dressed in the peculiar style of the country, that is, with each little tuft "seized," with a fine thread. There is a great amount of labour expendid over this fashion of dressing the head, and sometimes as long a time as six months will elapse between the beginning and the end of the operation. Bracelets, rings, ear ornaments, stone axes and coral ale com prised in the Dayspring's Museum, Avhich Avill be fouud well worth a visit.

ABOUT BRIBERY WITH GOVERN MENT SUBSIDIES.

(To tbe Editor of the EVENING STAR.) Sl R) —The folloAving tiny three-farthing jeu de esprit was handed to the Editors of the "Herald" on Monday last, and was, after their full notice, passed on to the printer for insertion in Tuesday morning's issue. But—but—sir, it Avas strangely, illegitimately burked on its passage by— &c.T &c—""Bribery. To the Editor : Sir, yi v . Taylor, at the Eden meeting on Satur day, said, concerning the Counties Act, he had 'altered his mind.'" Oh, oh!— Ordinarily or mostly, you know, sir, that is an ominoiis, if not a dangerous style of speech. I head this paper bribery. Exactly. Vogel ism, you knoAV, intended to ordain the Avhole concern compulsory. Greyism obtained, after considerable effort, a concession in favour of the poulace—viz., that a large and very questionable portion of the Act should be permissive, — take* it or leave it. This was then deemed an achieved success. Vogelism uoav steps in and says if you do leave out that part, then, no sub sidy from your oavu public chest at Wel lington. But herein Mr Taylor is plainly bamboozled — his publicly acknoAvledged bribe to his constituency is against the' la\v. The subsidy from bur own public chest must come here, to Auckland, anyhoAV, anyway, or in either case. Sir, the exactly true state of the business ought to be known by the people.— I am, &c, W. E. Sadler.

PAUL PRY IN DANGER.—MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir,—ls there not a lavr to compel drivers to look before, not behiudthem ? Yesterday, when coming out of Vulcan Lane in a harry and unfortunately looking down Queen-street, I received a most severe shock on the left side of my head, knocking my hat off, and myself nearly to the ground. It made me quite giddy for tbe moment. They say self preservation is the first law of nature, but my first thought was to recover my hat, to prevent a seA'ere chiding from Mrs Pry had! have lost it. Well, my dear sir. on regaining an upright position, the first object that met my gaze was a large grey house's nosei; another step of the noble creature, and it would have been "finis" with tjoor Pry. The carriage men and cabbies (friends of mine) saw my lucky escape, and said the driver was blind! But, as I wish to bear nnimoqitv to no man, I scarcely took notice of tTcdrfver or vehicle.' Had I told Mrs Pry of it my consolation would have been, • 1 here, you old stupid."— V .urs, with a painful ear, P.P.. P.S.-Saturday morning, 8 a.m.: I have jnst had my attention drawn to a local m wna

writer on three points. Ist. The horse was drawing a vehicle ; 2nd. My car did not bleed ; 3rd. I was not knocked to tho ground. I think you will alloAV Mr Editor that my account is written more in a jocular strain than a com plaining one.—P.P.
