WORKING MENS' HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.

This animal affair will come off this year on the 9th November in the Rustic Pavilion at Ellerslie Gardens. Mr D. Goldie is interesting himself, as usual, in getting up the Exhibition, and there is little doubt that his exertions, assisted by the Working Committee, will prove successful in bring ing about an Exhibition worthy of the working men of Auckland, and of our splendid climate. Competitors need not be afraid of incurring expense in the transit of their exhibits, as the Com mittee have already arranged to convey them to the Gardens and buck, free of charge. It is to be hoped that our laboring class will do their utmost to encourage the promoters of this laudable institution. We know of no recreation which is so calculated to elevate the working man, and at the same time so inexpensive, as gardening. In Auckland almost every house has its allotment attached, but it is to bo regretted that so few of these latter are cultivated, and of those that are how very very few are made the most of. It is a striking fact, and uot flattering to Auck land, that the working men who cluster round the outskirts of London, and who labour under manifold disadvan tages both in climate and circumstances are yet far in advance of their brethren here in the science of horticulture. Their trim gardens, in which the useful cabbage vies in luxuriance with the golden sunflower, and the Windsor or broad-bean mingles the fragrance of its blossom with flic delicate scent of the honor-suckle and the violet, arc features in the new neighbourhoods which tiie network of encircling rail ways has called into being round London ; and even in the. heart of the world's metropolis where gardens are con spicuous by their absence every now and then the eye oc the traveller in those crowded deserts is refreshed by the appearance ot a. window l>i'l;ilit with tlio lines of the geranium and the fuschia, or the well-filled mignonette box, testifies to the plea-ant toil which succeeds the regular labours of the day, and in which the ringers of wife and bairn's assist the harder palms of paterfamilias. These gardens and win dows are unfailing evidences of domestic ; harmony. We do not sec so many of them in Auckland as we outrht to, and we look upon tlie Working Man's Horticultural Exhibition as eminently calculated to pro duce them. We understand that several prizes have already been promised. Full particulars as to entries, conditions, prizes, ■ &c, will be published in a few days.

AN OUTRAGE AND RESCUE AT OPUNAKE (TARANAKI), BY NATIVES.

I A Maori named Maim, a follower of the ! chief Titoko Warn, went into Bartlett's \ Hotel at Opunalce lately, and asked for a ' glass of rum. Mrs Bartlott drew the liquor, j and handed it to the man, who as soon as he j received it threw it over her. He then ; asked for another glass, which was drawn, ; and handed to him, and a .shilling de- I manded as payment. Maim threw down \ a sixpence, and refused to pay for the j liquor which iie had spilled. A struggle | then took place between landlady and , customer, during which the top of one [ of Mrs Barfclett's lingers was bitten oil' ; and a quantity of her hair torn from j her head, the woman having grasped ' the Maori by tho threat and the Maori the I worn in by her chignon. Assistance was ! speedily rendered to Mrs Bartlett, and the j Maori was taken into custody. On Tues- j day morning the prisoner was manacled and placed in the coach, in order to be sent up to New Plymouth for trial. Constable Draper took charge of the prisoner in the coach, and two men of the A.C. Force ac companied the coach on horseback, it having been rumoured that a rescue would be attempted. When the coach readied the Harriet beach it was surrounded by a party of about 30 Maorics,.\vho stopped the horses and pulled the prisoner out of the j coach, and took him away to the bush, j Constable Draper struggled against the j Maoris i\s long as he could, but being over- j powered was obliged to yield. Both con- ! stables and natives were unarmed on tho I occasion. j

A report is about the street to-day that the Union Beach mine is swamped out in the lower level. Upon visiting it this morn ing, I found that a pipe connected with the boiler of the large engine had been br ken, and a new one was being put in, and would be finished in a few hour-'. It appears the small engine cannot both pump and wind at the .same time. Hence the water some times rises preventing persons going down to the lower level, but this, however, will be obviated to-day. This accounts in a measure for the paucity of news from the mine daring the last day or two.

THE ABUSE OF FASHION.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —Home 'lays, perhaps, ■when people allow themselves to be influenced by the dictates of common sense, the rules of fashion will be less tyrannical. Hitherto its decrees have always been of a most arbitrary character, and everyone who claims to ba any one has felt them his duty to obey most implicitly. We recognise, of course, the propriety of occasional change in the style and material of ladies' costumes. Tholaw allows it. and the court decrees it, not only in consequence of the change in season, which occurs periodically, but because one unvaried' style Woi:.!:i very quickly become tiresome and distasteful. But when fashion proclaims that ;i certain style of dress shall be worn, and that cer tain materials and certain colors sh;>ll lie momentarily in vogue, she nevertheless allows her votaries a certain latitude in obeying her decrees. She does not declare that every lady, no matter what her i height, form, and complexion may be. | .shall observe them literally, but in the spirit. Fashion, if we may be pjnniUed to say so, is like the Church of England. Those who acknowledge her supremacy are j free within a certain limit in a manner to suit their own conscience, and this latitudiualism, albeit some exclaim against it in matters ecclesiastical, i.'j really of the "•.'cry essence of fashion. | Let us take the present style of dress wi the purpose of illustration. Fitting i.a it does in front, somewhat tjghtly to the figure, it is very far from being elegant in some cases. If the wearer has a tall and slender figure, wo can imagine nothing more graceful—and, provided the dress is I not made to fit too closely, so as to impede the action of the limbs—more becoming. If, on the other hand, the wearer is short and stout, we can picture to ourselves I nothing more unbecoming—we may even : venturejto say—more ludicrous. Noamotint of elaborate trimming, no amount of taste in the selection and harmonising of color, will make amends for the initial error of which the wearer is guilty in arraying her self in such a dress. It is not because Mrs A., who is tall and gentle in appearance, looks well in a close-iitting dress, th.it Mrs 8., who is short, stout, and not generally so well-favored, should madly array herself in the same kind of dress. It is impossible that what becomes the former shall become the latter. Again let us assume that a certain color is fashion able : it follows not that all should wear it, for it is well nigh impossible that one and the same colour should suit all complexions, We know there are some which may be worn generally, while others suit only particular persons ; yet the edict goes forth thatgasgreen oramber, for instance, shall be the favorite tint, and gasgreert and amber are worn universally. Mrs B. who is a sallow, as well as Mrs A.who is fair, and Mrs D. who is blond, and Mrs C. who is a brunette, alike array themselves in dresses of one or the other color. —I aui yours, QUEEN-STEEET. <►

ST. PAUL'S DAY SCHOOL.

(To the Editor of the Star.) SIE, —In reply to Mr Clurkson's letter of last e\ erring I feel boxmd to say that all the allegations that I have made were not put into print until suiiicient evidence was found to bear out the statements. Mr Olarkson says : " If I had not allowed my curiosity to guide -me in search of know ledge, but had interrogated the teacher " I should have ascertained the correct state of affairs regarding "the hideous yellings and hootings." I should imagine that any person in the place of that gentleman should be able to command the respect of the boys by kind and iinn treatment. I have noticed continually that in well ordered schools no authority is given to under-masters to thrash, but that cases of insubordination or misconduct have to be reported to the head master, who investigates the matter and then punishes in such a manner as lie may deem necessary. But Mr Clarkson evidently believes that there is nothing like leather. Mr Clarkson's letter was indeed out of place, as lie net only commented on a,

case sub judiee, but actually delivered judgment in a cause whereof he was one of the judges without having heard all or perhaps any of the evidence, certainly none in hid capacity aw judge. I hope that some at least of the committee will not be wanting in their duty, but will express to Mr Clarksoii their disapprobation, of such conduct, —Yours truly, J. T. SEMAINE. . —. &

To the Editor of the Evexixg Star. fin.\—ln reference to the letter of .T. T. Semaine in your Saturday's issue, had your correspondent not allowed his mere sense of curiosity to guide him in his search for knowledge, ho would not have contented himself, perhaps, with the view of the. case as repre sented by members of a crowd of schoolboys bchavim: in the disgraceful manner described to a gentleman in the street, and that gentleman ODi' 'of their teachers, too. It is respectfully suggested that it would have been merely jus tico to have also made inquiries of the object of the "hideous veilings and hnotings," and so learned what he had to sa3 T about the matter before troubling you. The committee had the circumstances reported by Mr Semaine under consideration before his letter appeared.— l have, etc., D. K. Claeksox, Secretary School Committee.

He further said that he would gladly put his neck in the nonpc and swing for her.

The Pencil found prisoner guilty, and ordered him to find sureties, hiiusell in £.~0, and two other's in £2o each, to keep the peace for six months. THE MOUNT EDEN RIVAL TOL'. COLLECTOKS. Two collectors are engaged in colLiCting the rolls of the Mount Eden Toll Bar ; one representing the district Koad Hoard, and the other the defunct Government. The playful rivaling of these collectors in their struggles for the tolls have caused much amusement in the locality. The General Government, on the abolition of the pro vinces, took over the roads and bars, in cluding the bar of Mount Eden. Sub sequently, however, the Mount Eden Hoard solicited the Government to hand over the district toll bar; considering it their right, as the ratepayers really kept the road in repair. The Government replied, through Major Green, that it would have nothing to do with the tolls. A meeting, therefore, , was called, when the trustees decided that i the Board should take charge of the bar; j which was accordingly done, the scale ' being considerably reduced. All ap- ] peared settled, when to the surprise ; of the Board, an advertisement I appeared, intimating that the lease of the j said tolls would be offered for a term of six j months, by Messrs Tonks and Co. The j Board protested, and were informed by the j auctioneers that they had their instructions | from Mr Whitaker, and had simply to j follow those instructions. The sale how- j ever, was withdrawn, as the bidding was j under the mark. The tolls, however, will j be re-offered by Messrs Tonks and Co., unless something turns up in the meantime I to prevent tha sale. The rival collectors ! are still busy in their representa- j tive positions, and when a vehicle ap- j proaches the bar there is an immediate j struggle for the toll. A telegram was sent j to the Government by Messrs Hesketh and Richmond, to the effect thatas the ratepayers j of the Mount Eden district maintained the j roads they had a right to the tolls. No reply wa=s received, and another .similar I telegram has been forwarded to-day. .

KARANGAHAPE FOOT-PATH.

The ratepayers of Karangahape district held a ! meeting last evening in the Newton Hull for the purpose of considering tlie state and means of improving the district foot-path. Mr Joseph Warren, the chairman, introduced the proceed ings by readinsr a petition or protest, against j usplialiing the loot-path in question. The pro- i podiil referred to in the petition was to asphalt ! the south side of Karangahape Road from the \ corner of Pitt-street t-) the Hotel, four fcef • wide. Some of the owners of properties had agreed to contribute, others had refused. The cost, if was estimated, -would be £260. Mr Garrctt, having spoken upon the subject, moved, "That, in the opinion of this meeting, the asphalting the south side of Karangahape Road foot-path is inexpedient, and a wasteful expenditure, while there are in tho district roads totally impassable and places dangerous to life and limb which should first roceive the attention of the Board." Mr Wilkes seconded the amendment. Mr Barnes moved, as an amendment, "'That tho subject bo referred back to the committee of the Board with power to do the work." ] Mr Yount' Warren seconded. ; Mr Staines thought tint if a portion of [the ; inhabitants wanted to improve the path for their own interests, they shou.d do it at their own expense,

Mr Mouldeu said lie had been obliged to work night and day in digging a road to his own place, and as all paid rates according to their circum slances, ail should have equal justice. The Chairman then pnt the amendment to thn meeting, which was lost, and the original motion was almost unanimously carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the nieetinif.

WHO WOULD NOT BE A MAYOR ?

The first Mayor of Kumara, v.-hen elected, " caught it very hot" from his municipal friends. According to the local paper, they formed an irregular procession, headed by the Mayor, sup ported arm-in-arm by two of his most enthusiastic admirers, and paraded the town to the strains of a brass band. At every hotel whose proprietor had sup ported him, a halt was made, and the health of "the Mayor" duly pledged. At Mr Ancher's hotel, where the Fire Brigade had rendezvoused, the men turned, out, manned their carriage, and placed the Mayor on it, he having donned "a red jacket and a brass helmet." The procession again started, and at the theatre, another halt was made, here the theatre was quickly packed to the door, and the Mayor and brigade took possession of the stage. His Worship once again returned. thanks for the honor done him. T.'.e procession was re-formed, and soon reached the Quen's Hotel (the Mayor's) All were hiVited to enter, and cham pagne became the order of the night. The brigade then had a practice on the Mayors buildings, with ladders ar.d buckets ; at the conclusion of which, a " tab can" illuminated by colored fires, was improvised on the top of the hotel. The first Mayor of Kumara, clad in his fireman's dress, was made the central figure, having the me:! of the brigade grouped on either side.
