A GHASTLY EXHIBITION

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

Sir.—An interesting account is given in Tues day's Stab of the exhumation of nearly a hun dred human skulls at a spot supposed to have been a Maori burial place. It is added that the workmen have used the most perfect of the skulls in coping a wall, laid on in an artistic manner, and presenting a not unpleasmg ap pearance to the eve. Is it not surprising to read that the discovery has causea quite a sens ation in the neighbourhood, considering the truly "artistic" manner in which these re mains have been disposed of. Is this etory merely a grim joke? If your informant is serious, surely such barbarism ouaht not to pass without Tem&rk. The melodram atic tendencies of those workmen who soliloquize over their iob in Hamlet's words ought to get a lesson in good taste from the police—until the neighbourhood of Auckland Is better provided with schools- Whit would be said if Maoris should d:g up the skulls and other bones of our dead from their sacred place 3of rest when some of our cemetarieb aTe disused to furnish a ghastly adornment to a pah, or to cope a cow pen ? To this we may come at last as poor Yorick. But it is not nice to see even Maori bones "knocked about the scoria with a dirty shovel." The grave means peace. In boyhood's days we have often pat on th» grassy mound kept sreen for over a hundred .years with fresn sods by the road-men, who respected the spot where a nameless soldier wa3 laid in the narrow glen. C!o?C by, boulder is supposed to cover the dust c£ 3r-me Aingalian chief. Wordsworth's lines on theflspot are well known— "The peace, the peace o£graves is here— And of austere, yet happy feclingß of the dead." A.M.M.C.

Proposed Calls:—*i 6d per Share on applica tion ; 2s 6d per Share on allotment; 2s 6d per Share two months after allotment; and 2s 6d per Share four months after allotment ; Six months to be given of any further calls. Provisional Directors: The Hon. Wm. Hunter Reynolds, of Dunedin, M. L.C. of New Zealand. ; The Hon. John Martin, of Wellington, M.L.C. of New Zealand. The Hon. John Ballance, Colonial Treasurer of New Zealand. The Hon. Robert Stout, Attorney-General of New Zealand. James Allen. Esq.. of Dunedin. C. Julius Toxward, Esq., Surveyor, Wellington. Thomas Whyte young, Esq., Merchant;, Wel lington. Robert Greenfield, Esq., Merchant, Wellington. Bankers: The Bank of Australasia. Solicitors : Messrs. Sievwright and Stout, Wellington. Surveyor and Valuator : C. Julius Toxward, Esq., Wellington. Interim Secretary : William Sievwrlght, Esq., Solicitor, Wellington. Temporary Offices : Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, Wellington. This Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon the security of landed property situated within the Colony of N ow Zealaad ; and 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to cities or towns, or centres of population, n the Colony of New Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots as may suit purchasers. With a faat increasing population both in town and country, a very fine climate, and land of great fertility opened up by the construction of roads and railways, there is an almost in exhaustible field for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it is one very little occupied. This Company intends to occupy that field, and to offer to the public—particularly to farm settlers, and the working population generally— facilities for acquiring property, and fnr erecting houses, or effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on reasonably moderate terms. And the Company can do so profitably to the shareholders, while at the same time help is given to people who are willing to pay ade quately for the advantages and accommodation offered. In no case ■will money be lent otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kept. The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring payment of the price,—-so much being paid as a deposit when the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for instalments, spread over a limited period of from one to three years, the title being only granted when the price is fully paid up. This Company, in consequence pi being in a position to pay in Cash at once, will certainly bo able to buy property on muoh more favourable terms than buyers on deferred payments ; and it is certain that, by the exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can be done by bujing land and selling again in lots to suit purchasers. It is vory well known that Companies in New Zealand having objects similar to those of this Company have been ablo, notwithstanding very limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to capital. It is not intended to call up more than £1 per share, at the outset at least. The Promoters consider that, with 10s. por share paid up, the Company may mako a fair beginning; and they confidently anticipate that, Besides paying a good dividend to the Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, bo ablo from time to time, out oi profits, to make additions to Capital. The turn over of Capital will bo quick, and there will no doubt bo available soon a considerable amount of money from deposits made by people both at Homo and in New Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary. Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may bo obtained at the Ofllces of the Company, or from the Bankers, at the Welling ton Oiflco, or at any of the Branches, and the Memorandum and Articlos of Association may bo'soon in tho hands of the Secretary. Should no Allotment bo made, the Deposit will bo returned without any deduction. Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, ; Wellington, October, 1878. TMPERIAL SCHIEDAJVx SCHNAPPS. Dr. Hassall's Report. The Analytical and Sanitary Institution. 64 Holbom Viaduct, E.C.. London. 9th May, 1877. Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subiected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth In a B»nor*t« report, show that this spirit is of good S»*offUi, praoti«*llr fro* from acidity, and that it contains but tracer of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr, Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.

Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by yon to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis and critical examination, the result of which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsplujfcely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always used instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, &c, (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government of Victoria.
