Asoikee Avasheld at the Kuniea Public Hall on the 23rd ult., in aid of the Building Fund. Thetray3 AA'ere kindly provided by Mesdames Boond, Russell, and Hunter, assisted by Mrs A. Dibvorth. A bachelor's tray Avas assisted at by Me-dames Lamb, Deason, and Cottle, The contents of this tray AA'ere highly appreciated by the. assemblage, Avhich amounted to OA-er seventy. Mrs Deason kindly lent her har monium, and Mrs Lamb kindly offered hers also. Two professional musicians were present from town, and their performances gave general satisfaction. It was proposed by Mr W. Russell that Mr H. Hunter be chairman, seconded by Mr 3". Russell, and carried unani mously. The chairman said he Avas highly pleased to see so many friends assembled, con sidering the state of the A\-eather, and hoped they Avould thoroughly enjoy themselves. An excellent programme Avas then successfu'ly gone through, after which dancing Avas com menced, and Avas kept up Avith great spirit until daAvn.

LECTURE ON THE EYE AND ITS FUNCTIONS.

Ax intelligent lecture was delivered last eA'en ing in Uhe'Lorne-street Hall, by Mr. B. Schwarz bach, on the above important subject. Ihe hall was about half filled Avith a* respectable audience. MrGustave Yon der Heyde intro duced the lecturer Avith a few Avords, and re sumed his seat among the listeners. Mr Schwarzbach apologised to his audience at the commencement for any defect 'hat might appear in his language, as it Avas only three or four years ago that he .ecame acquainted with the English tongue. He also hoped that they would excuse his unartistically chalked diagrams, which Avould, however, answer their purpose. His first object in delivering this lecture was to instruct them in the care of the eye in plain language rather than in technical terms. The lecturer divided his subject into three sections, the physiological structure, the sanitary care, and the Avonderful power of the eye, as the window of the soul, and a3the medium betAveen the inner chamber of thought and external nature. The lecturer did not go into the nume rous diseases of the eye, but dwelt for sonic time on obliqueness of vision, and sheAved that such a defect was possible of cure in childhood, by taking the necessary precautions. On the care of the eye, Mr Schwarzbach made some excellent observations, sheAving that as the eve Avas the organ of light it needed light; tresh air, vegetation, andgreen things were calculated to strengthen the eye. It was a mistake and hurtful to look upon a dazzling- scene, and turn to the gloom of a chimney corner. The eye needs rest, and when oppressed a short Avalk in the pure air AA'as the best means of securing ■it. Reading badly printed books Avas very in jurious, and persons Avere Avrong, in case ot eye diseases, in tampering with the diseased part. A care of the eve without a care of the Avhole body was absolute nonsense. The lecture Avas Aery instructive throughout, and considering the lecturer's brief acquaintance Avith the ■ language, was a success.

AUCKLAND PERMANENT CO-OPER ATIVE BUILDING AND IN VEST MENT SOCIETY.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) Slß,— I am very glad to obseiwe that tbere are four iicav candidates seeking election as members of the committee of this Society, and I should very much like to see at least two or three of them elected, as I think it is full time that a little neAV blood avus in fused into the'conimittee. No change, lioav e\'er, will be made, unless the members attend in person at the meeting, and record their votes for the neAV candi dates, as some of the members of the committee have been so indefatigable in proxy-hunting that they will be able to swamp the meeting Avith proxies, unless the shareholders attend to prevent them. I warn my felloAV shareholders that, if the Society is to progress, they must infuse new blood into tlie committee. If no change is made, the Society will retrogade, as the members of the present committee refuse to give their assistance to alter the rules of the Society, so as to make them more acceptable to the members and the public. Hoping to see a large attendance at the meeting on Tuesday next. —I am, &c, Investing Shareholder.

EX-PROVINCIAL OFFICERS.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. The vieAvs of your correspondent "Tax-pajer, in reference to sympathy Avith ex-Pro vincial Officials, as set forth in his communication, published in your issue of the 25th instant, are such a3 deserve favorable consideration at the hands of the public, The country has already been impoverished by unnecessary pecuniary burdens, including pensions to retired Govern ment officers, and high salaries to officials who are still in the public service, and whose qualifi cations, in many instances, are far below those of honest, industrious, and hard workingp Jisons Avhose incomes are small compared with the remunerations of the former class of function aries. It is alleged that those holding appoint ments under the Government are serving the colony to a greater extent than any other class of people, and that in consequence, they haA'e a corresponding claim upon the public—a claim w-hich entitle.-! thorn to be provided for in pre ference to all others. From this sophistical doctrine any one who professes common sense Avill at once dissent. Is not every individual Avho is earning hi 3 bread Avith probity and industry, serving the colony as advantageously. Most undoubtedly ho is. Why, then, should a greater amount of fuss be made about the dis charged servants of the Government than about other discharged or unemployed members of the community _ Echo says, Why? A consider able majority of the ex-officials Avere paid even handsome salaries whilst in the public serA'ice, as might enable them, if they had acted upon economic principles, to save money where "ath to aid them in time of need, but having, ap parently, repudiated those principles, aad pro ceeded on the spendthrift system in the days of their prosperity, they are now, as might be expecteh., reaping the fruits of improA'idence in the time of their adversity. As your correspondent observes, the men for whom sympathy is being advocated in certain quarters, kept servants whilst the daugh ters were permitted to live in indolence; a

\-ery censurable mode of training the feminine offspring for the important duties of life in this world of ups and downs. It is not, however government officers alone that pursuethis course in respect to their daughters, and the baneful result thereof is obvious, Hundreds of our young women knoAv little or nothing of proper household management, and Avhen they are called upon to discharge the domestic duties appertaining to the matrimonial state they are found wanting, and instead of conjugal felicity reignincr in the habitation, it is the scene of quite the reverse. There are unquestionably many indifferent and even thoroughly bad hus bands in the world, but are there not also many Avomen Avaose qualifications are not at all cal culated to compass that happiness Avhich the union of man and woman has been designed by theGiA-erof allmerciestoconfer? Music,crochet, knitting, novel reading, dress, visiting and gossiping, attending picnics, and figuring'in the ball room, are not, certainly, the only accom plishments for a good housewife to possess, although, alas! not a few parents entertain a contrary opinion. If, as one ofthebestAvritcr»on morality at the present day says, one wishes to see a young woman, whom he Avould like to choose fOi a Avife, to advantage, let him see her cooking a dinner, scrubbing a Moor, darning stockings, or making a shirt, or washing and ironing it aftei-Avards. So much the better, he adds, if she is thirty years behind the age in dress, manners, and other matters, which constitute uselessness in conducting a bouse, and in rearing a family. The Bible pourtrays in plain language the char acter of a " virtuous woman," in the 31st chap ter of Proverbs, from the 10th Arerse to the end, Avhich character every female is enjoined to study, it, haA'ing been written for her learning as much as any other portion of Scripture.—s_"ours, &c, Axothes Ratepayer.

THEATRE ROYAL.

HOWORTH'S GRAND HIBERNICA.

Tins interesting and intellectual entertainment Avas exhibited for the first time in this city at the theatre last night, and called forth the marked approbation of a crowded house. As the name implies, the Hiocrnica is illustrative oi' the scones and songs of Ould Ireland, and as such appeals directly to the sympathies of a large portion of our population. For all, how ever, the representations have a pleasant charm. The entert&inment consists of a panorama, com prising forty pictures of the most interesting places in Ireland, the passage of Avhich across the stage is enlivened by choice bits of true Irish comedy acted by Mr Tim Cohan, Miss Mario Poinier, Mr Dan. P. Howard, Mr Jno. Howorth. and Mrs J. H, O'Meil. All these are artistes of no mean rank, and their efforts gave unqualified pleasure. Miss Poinier aud Mr Cohan, avlio take the leading ciiaracters, are splendid Irish delineators, and both haA re vocal as Avell as his trionic abilities of a high order. Mr Harry Nicholson, the London champion coralque, is a great addition to the attractions.of the Company. He giA-cs seA'eral character songs with such per fect mimicry that it is difficult to believe that they are done by the same peson. "Simple Simon" and " Old Uncle Joe" Avere his two best last night, and Avere enthusiastically received. But Mr Nicholson Is even more successful Avith his jig and hornpipe dancing than with his singing. His bthe and active limbs seemed made of india-rubber, so Avonderfully does he move them about, and Avhile his step is as light as a feather, his repose of feature throughout his most rapid saltatory efforts, is truly wonderful. The panorama is well painted, and presents each scene with life-like distinctness of outline. It is pleasantly explained by Mr Howorth himself, Avhose clear enunciation eminently tits him for the post of lecturer. It Avill be seen that the Hibernica has special claims to popular patronage. Amusement and instruction are blended together in so charming a manner, that the A-eriest dunce can here pick up A-aluable information, Avhile he cheats himself into the belief that he is only enjoying the fun. To the young especially Avould Aye recommend this entertainment. There is nothing that the most fastidious can take exception to in the jokes, or indeed, in any part of the programme. Mr W. G. Hyde 3 performs the onerous duties of pianist in ah efficient manner. The Hibernica will appear CA rery night until Tuesday next. The Hibernian Band have volunteered their services, and will appear on and after to-morrow night.

CATTLE ON THE LINE.

NAPIER, this day

Soon after the up-train from Waipuknrau to Napier had left Kaikora station, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, some cattle, straying on the line, compelled the engine to be stopped. Just as the cattle Avere clear of tlie line and speed had been again put on, a beast deliberately stepped in front of the eii'dnc, and was at once knocked down, but instead of being throAvn off the line it got under the wheels. The result of this was that the engine avus knocked off the rails, and slewed across the line, and three out of the 14 leading trucks Avere also throAvn off. Fortunately these trucks Avere betAveen the engine and passenger carriages, or the con sequences might have been fatal. There bein" no telegraph station at Kaikora, the neAvs'of the accident had to be forwarded to Napier by way of WaipaAva. When the intelligence reached toAvn at about live o'clock, Mr Miller, the General Manager, proceeded at once to the spot with a special engine and lifting appliances. On going up, the engine ran over three horses, all of which Avere killed, but the line Avas not cleared until 3 a.m. The up-train yestor dav due at Napier at 10.22 o'clock, did not reach town till nearly 1 p.m. The delay Avas caused by the engine being brought to a sudden standstill by running into a bullock. The jerk threAV some of the trucks off betAveen the engine and the pas senger carriages. The passengers had two hours' Avork to put the train to rights. Ihe " Telegraph" again points out the manifest duty of the Government to get the line fenced ere accident to human life occurs.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE "POST."

WELLINGTON, this day.

The proprietors of the " Evening Post announced that to-day their paper Avill appear in an enlarged form, oAving to demands on the advertising space. ANOTHER LAND DIFFICULTY.

Further complications have arisen in con nection with that piece of land Avhich is known as the Rangitikei-ManaAvatu block. The " Post" hist night published a lengthy letter from * a number _of Maoris interested in land in question. Writers complain that their claims have not been settled ; they accuse the Government of delaying the settlement of their claims. It appears that the Government paid £4,000 to one McDonald, and thought matters squared, but they AA'ere mistaken. The " Post "in referring to the matter, says : — " The letter from Hoani Meheaui and others, which Aye publish in another column, proves too clearly that the patching up of Rangitikei Manawatu dispute by payment of OA^er £4,000 to Alex. McDonald av;»s a false move on the part of the Government. McDonald is an avowed champion of one of tlie hapus. tlie Ngakuphata, and he has been most persistent for years in urging their claims upon successive Governments. Not satisfied Avith the award made to his clients by the Native Lands Court, after an exhaustive hearing of the case, he ha. used every constitutional means for keeping the question open, and in the end the Govern ment, apparently willing to get rid of him at any price, and anxious to be hi opposi

tion to the issue of Crown Grants to Messrs Douglas & Co., conceded every thing asked, and made a cash payment in lieu of a further award of land, amounting to between

£4000 and £5000. We believe that every precaution was taken to obtain from Mr McDonald and his clients, as the condition of this payment, such a bond as will effec tually prevent their giving any more trouble, and if tliis meant the putting a stop to the Manawatu dispute, wc feel persuaded that every member of the com munity Avould joyfully acknowledge that the Government had done a wise thing." The " Post " then proceeds to slicav that the natives are greatly dissatisfied Avitli the arrangements made by the Government in regard to the matter, and says that the reckless expenditure of £.000 has put the fat into the fire, and that fresh claims will arise. It regrets that the Government did not satisfy themselA-es that the payment of £-1000 Avould end the dispute. THE GEORGIA MINSTRELS. The Georgia Minstrels are playing to large houses, despite the unfavourable criticism. They proceed to Christchurch shortly. A. WHOPPER. It is said that the " Intelligent Vagrant " (Mr J. M. Perrier), has come into a fortune of £500,000, and that he intends going into the Upper House.

LATEST WAR NEWS Germany Urged to Remain Neutral

Bombardment of Widin and Kalpfat.

SILVIO WINNER OF EPSOM DERBY

[PRESS AGENCY.]

LONDON, May 30. The fact of Prince Gortschakoff accom panying the Czar to Ployisti has given rise to mam rumours. The semi-official organ of Berlin _ lays stress on the necessity of the neutrality of Germany, and the efforts of Germany to secure peace of Europe. Le Nord is anxious to assure England that Russia Avill neither assail nor inter fere with British interests. The re-capture of Ardahan is not con firmed. A continued cannonade is going on at Widdin and Kalafat. Russians troops have evacuated the Trans-Caucausian province of Abaisia. The province of Abasia is a strip of coun try stretching along the eastern shore of the Black Sea, and^ including various ports bombarded by the Turkish licet. The withdrawal of the Russian troops is in consequence, probably, of the revolt of the Circassian mountaineers. The bombardment at Kalafat and Widdin forts, on opposite side of the Danube, near the Ser\'ian frontier, is kept up by the Turkish and Roumanian batteries. The Epsom Derby was won by Lord Falmouth's Silvio ; Glenarth 2nd (?) Clia maiit ; Rob Roy 3rd.

CHURCH GAZETTE.

Wis luive receiA-ed the June number of the Church Gazette. The Diocesan intelligence is, as usual, complete. We note that Bishop CoAvie is expected to return to Auckland on or about the 7th inst. A grant of £33 has been made by the standing committee-to the Rev. V. Gould, on condition of his spending two Sundays of each quarter in the Ivaipara district. A loan of £75 for repairing the parsonage at Hamilton Avas approved. The next examination for Bishop's prizes Avill be held in January, IS7B. All scholars of the Diocesan Sunday Schools may he candidates for these prizes. Intelligence has been received from Messrs Collins and Co. that a iurther supply of the hymnal Avill shortly be sent out to the colony. It has been decided that the proposal to print an appendix of Avords only is impracticable. The Rev A. G. Purchas has been instructed to apply for leave to print the 'copyright hymns contained in the list appended to the memorial. The Parochial intelligence gives [some interest ing particulars of the progress of the church in the various districts. The leading article is on "The Church of NeAV Zealand." "English Church News" and the usual Sunday School Lessons, complete the contents of the number.

THE REPORTED WRECK AT KAIPARA. S

THE RUMOUR CONTRADICTED

We are happy to state that there appear very good reasons to belie\'e that the rumour of the Avreck of the barque Glimpse is without foundation. Captain LoAvrie, tlie Kaipara pilot, came to toAA'ii to-day, and informs us that all the wreckage found has been recognised as the remains of the old schooner Tawera, which went to pieces near Hokianga about 2\ years ago. The report of the Maori having gone to one of the .settlements, and told the natives that he had found a, board with the name Glimpse on it. is correct, but Captain LoAvrie, who lias investigated the matter thoroughly, says lie is convinced that the man was telling an untruth. He feels assured that no recent, wreck at all has taken place in the locality mentioned. We trust this AA'ill turn out to be the case.
