MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1878

For the cause that acks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

With the approach of warm weather, the general cry is, "Whathas become of the Corporation proposal for public baths on the reclamation west of the wharf?" The people at the North Shore have done something, and we believe there is not a city in New Zealand that has neglected the matter but Auckland.' At the present moment, a com mittee of the Dunedin Council is engaged making investigations with a view of secur ing a betterjj site for the Corporation baths than the one at Pelichet Bay, now in use. Auckland, with a more relaxing climate, and infinitely better facilities, alone remains without any place convenient to the western side of the city where people can take a dip, without risk of being made a meal of by sharks, or an example of by some assiduouspoliceman,forindecency. Thesolid rock bath, small and inadequate as it was to the requirements of city west, did something to supply the want, but this summer even that is not available. The Council appears to regard itself as a mere board to carry out road-making, and upon that, no expenditure of money is considered extrava gant, as Avitness the deliberate waste in volved in the breaking up of newly-made asphalt paths in Victoria, Wellesley, and other streets." Yet for one of the most im portant hygienic institutions of a city, not a

shilling can be obtained. Do Councillors ever wash, except such indulgence of that kind as they perform in public with their dirty linen? Their indifterence to the ablutions of citizens would lead to the in ference that with''them cleanliness is not next to godliness.

The Te Aroha block is to become the hope of the Thames in a new way. We understand that the Government depend upon it for the construction of the Thames Valley Railway. Atownshipof 2,oooacies on the river is to be marked off, and the pro ceeds from this alone, it is expected, will defray the cost of constructing the line from the Thames river to Hamilton. The balance of the block is to be cut up in small farm sections, and will, it is believed, supply the requisite funds to continue the railway into Grahamstown. The work is to be carried out immediately, and if the Government, as no doubt they propose to do, enter into a pledge that the Hue shall be carried through the township, the value of the land will doubtless be greatly en hanced, and it is possible that the sanguine expectations entertained may be realised.

\ committee of Marsden electors has been formed at Whangarei, to welcome Sir G ".orge Grey on his expected visit to Whan garei. In reply to a telegram from Mr Alderton, secretary, inquiring the date of the Premier's arrival, fair George Grey, on Saturday, telegraphed : —"Thank you very much for • your kind telegram. I have delayed answering it in hopes that I could fix a day for visiting Whangarei. I find it impossible to do so now, however, but Mr Sheehau and myself propose going to Whangarei together, and we will give you timely notice.—G. Grey,"

Dr Wallis has determined to stand for re-election for Grafton Hiding, Eden County. The nomination takes place on Wednesday. By the Corporation Amendment Bill, 1878, we observe all meat sold within this borough will require to be inspected by the Inspector of Abattoirs for the district. The City Council will, no doubt, appoint the new abattoirs as the place for sucb inspection.

Out of 89 samples of beer and of materials used in the brewing of beer examined last year by the Inland Keveuue authorities of England, 61 were either adulterated or con sisted of illegal ingredients. The Nihilists in Russia show their con tempt for religion by smoking cigarettes in cathedrals and churcl\e_.

It is said that Queen Victoria, the other day, inadvertantly explained her partiality for her prezent Prime Minister by remark ing : —When Mr Gladstone was my Prime Minister, he was always telling me his opinion and the opinion of the country. Lord Beaconsfield asks for the opinion of his sovereign.''

A lecture on "The South Sea Islands" will be given this evening, before the members of the Kemuera Literary and Musical Society, by the Rev. J. Whewell, and which, no doubt, will afford much interest to those who may be in attendance

In another column appears an announce ment that the Tradesmen's Athletic Sports will be held at Ellerslie on the 13th instant, in conjunction with the Cattle Show. The forty pounds sterling will be distributed in prizes. Entries will close on Thursday 7th mat., at the club room, Cliarlemont Hotel. The promoters wish it distinctly understood that these sports have no connection what ever with any other sports that may be held at Ellerslie gardens on the day mentioned.

The correspondent of the "Melbourne Argus" sent the following telegram to that journal re the failure of the Glasgow Bank : —"Loudon, October 11th.—The City of •Glasgow Bank advances of £2,000,000 to the New Zealand and Australian Land Com pany are covered by land and wool." ils_The service in the Theatre Royal last night -was well attended. Mr F. Batlley occupied the chair, and the Rev. Mr Robertson gave an address, £1 6s was put iutp the boxes.

Forty4wo vessel-), agg.egatillg nearly 60)000 tons> Were lying in *an Francisco Harbour on the 27th July, under charter to carry wheat to the United Kingdom.

Russian officers who have returned to Central Asia report a complete entente cordiale between Russia and Cabul. Twelve thousand Russian troops on the frontier indirectly support the Ameer. We (Grocer) are informed that one of the largest transactions ever recorded in brandy has just been coucluded between La Graud Marque of Cognac and Messrs W. and A. Gtlbey, resulting in a purchase of 2,500 hogs heads of 1865 brandy landed iv 1870. This contract amounts to nearly £80,000.

The Rev. Joseph* Bates, of the North Shore, in an excellent paper on " The Sunday school as a means of education," which appears in the " Church Gazette." says :—" A lesson should be a lesson— not a sermon or a lecture — and a lesson, too, on a particular subject. It is, perhaps, a mistake to think that talking to or at children does them any good. The children may be quiet and and apparently attentive, their minds being at the same time inactive. What the teacher has to do is to get their minds to work. And for this purpose he will question, he will use maps and illustrations, to give life and reality to the lesson. Take S. Paul's travels, and let the class merely read the account given of them in the Acts, ' without note or comment.' How dry will it all seem to a boy or girl. But [a take map and make the scholar point out the seas and rivers and mountains which the Apostle crossed, and the plains which he traversed, and the towns which he visited, and you throw some light on the story."

An amusing scene, which occurred during the Queen's visit to Dunbar, in Augus:, is described by the " Scotsman" as follows :— " Presently the High-street was entered, and here the Queen had, as it were, to ' run the gauntlet' between two rows ot children, who, instead of throwing their bouquets, as had been intended, into the middle of the street, in front of the royal carriage, showered them into the carriage itself. The result was that Her Majesty, though evi dently taking the mistake as a very good joke, found it necessary to keep bobbing her head about to escape the missiles; while John Brown, from his box seat, exerted himself to give a proper direction to youthful enthusiasm. All such efforts, however, proved ineffectual, and the Queen seemed to be several times hit with the flowers, evidently not a little to her own amusement, as well as that of the whole Royal party."

To the Editor : Sir,—l understand that the 13th of November has been chosen for the show and public holiday. Now I know that Saturday would not do for the show, but there are many working men whom it would suit much better for a holiday, to whom, in fact, Wednesday would be no holiday at all. Considering that we have not had a holiday for six months, I see no valid reason for not having Saturday and Wednesday for public holidays. You stood up for early closing and, I hope you will stand up for this.—Yours, etc., A Mechanic.

The name of Mr C. F. W. St. John, son of Lieut.-Colonel St. John, and for fouryears a pupil of the Wellington College, stands 31st on the list of successful candidates for admission to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, received by this mail. There were 130 candidates, so that the result is highly creditable both io Mr St. John and his instructors.

The usual monthly meeting of the Auck land Domain Board lapsed to-day for want of a quorum, only two members and the secretary being present. On the suggestion of Mr Mitford, it was decided to call the meeting for Monday next at half-past two o'clock.

Here are three or four expressions culled from a letter in the London "Times :"— ---"brawlers," "mob - spouters," "sniff," "bullying," "braggart," &c. The letter emanated from the Vicar of Hatcham.

About 40 members of the Naval Brigade met at the Rifle Range on Saturday to com pete for the Company'- medal, which was honorably won by Petty-officer Scullen with a score of 42 points. The distances were 200, 400, and 500 yards ; five shots at each. There were some good shots and the compe tition was very close, Petty-officer Moore being! only two behind the winner. Ihe following' are the scores :—P.O. Scullen 43: P.O. W. G. Smith, 42; P.O. M.J. Moore, 41; P.O. J. Wait, 41 ; Seamen :P. Moulden, 39 ; J. Coyl, 37 ; F. Smith, 37 T. Allen, 36 ; W. Stanley, 30; 1. Lead ham, 29; Davenport, 28 ; W. Sakey, 28 ; W. Murphy, 26 ; H. McDonald, 24 ; K. Woods, 23 ; G. Jones, 22; S. Houston, 21; Daigley, 17 ; G. McDonald. An Auckland School of Design was opened on Saturday in the Princes-street Institute, under the guidance of the artist, Mr Kenneth Watkius. Twenty-six candidates offered themselves for admission, and were put to the test, in order to their eligibility for admittance. This School of Design was originated by Dr. Campbell, a friend of the Institute, and was felt to be needful in a city abounding with young artists. Only 14 of the candidates were considered sufficiently advanced iv the rules of art by the examiner, Mr Watkius. Those who Avere not admitted will succeed in due time, by practice and perseverance. An occasional correspondent of the " Otaga Daily Times" at Melbourne writes : —" The Bracy-Leopold Opera Company, now in Brisbane, is looking wistfully to wards Auckland and tho New Zealand tour; it being a long time since an English opera was round, and it succeeded with both Alice May and Simonsen. The company includes Miss Clara Thompson (Lydia's sister), Messrs Bracy, G. Leopold (the excel lent low comedian), and others fresh to New Zealand. They are not great, but are pleasing and experienced." " Henry the Fifth," at the Royal, has absolutely killed the other amusements, Creswick included, and the eminent old tragedian meditates an earlier trip to New Zealand than he at first intended.

The announcement in the STAR on Satin day that Miss Sherwiu would take part in the choir of St. Paul's last evening, had the etl'ect of crowding the church to excess. Miss Sherwin sang the soloi "With verdure clad" most effectively. The sermou and offertory were on behalf of the Diocesau Pension Fund, for superannuated clergy men, and widows and orphans of Church ministers. The amount collected was £15 6s 4d.

We were glad- to see that Mr Thos. J. Harbutt, brushmaker, ou Saturday" last set a very good example to the employers of Auckland in giving his employe's an invi tation to spend a day with him at the North Shore, which was responded to in a very unanimous and hearty manner. The party had a line and delightful day of it. They commenced their day's pleasure by leaving Auckland in the 10.30 boat, and after enjoying the pleasant trip across, assembled at the Devonport Hall, specially engaged for the purpose, and ridding them selves ot their surplus clothing, started off for a ramble. After a pleasant walk upon the beach, and climbing hill and rock, they returned to the hall, to find that in the in terval busy hands had been at work to meet the demand of their keen appetites. The hall had been tastefully decorated, and the tables bore evidence of a full supply of good things. Dinner over, off they went attain, evidently bent on enjoying them selves, and engaged in racing, cricketing, i&c, returning to the hall at six, for tea, to find that there was still a plentiful supply. After tea, the hall was lit up, and a number of musical pieces, duets, &c, were gone through in a very creditable style. During the evening a variety of games were played, and before breaking up a very warm and hearty vote of thanks was awarded to Mr Harbutt and family for the very excellent mauner in which they had entertained their guests. After spending a pleasant day, the party returned to the city by the 9 o'clock boat. This is the first annual gathering of the kind in the trade, and we hope it will not be the last; for it must be gratifying to all to see such a good understanding betweeu workpeople aud employers. The contest of candidates for the County Council of Waitemata, on the 13th inst., is likely to be of more than ordinary interest, there being no lees than 15 candidates in the field.

The " Infant Wonder Troupe," recently from the South, and uow.perfonning at the Thames, will shortly appear in Auckland. The principal members of this troupe are the Elder Brothers, natives of Parnell, and who have given successful entertainments in Dunedin, Timaru, Oamaru, luvercargiJl, and other places. The session of St. James' Class having closed with the closing of the session of Parliament, there will be a general meeting of members this evening, for business pur poses—the presenting of the annual roport and financial statement. The officers for the new session will also be elected for the ensuing year. Mr Cooper, the secretary, requests'that every member will be present. Mr W. E. Colston writing from Barna wartha to the " Australasian," says : —" In answer to correspondent about the heaviest bullock, living or dead, in the colony, in your issue of the 21st ult., I will give you the size of the largest I have living. It was purchased by Mr Murdoch McLean for £120, iv Wellington, New Zealand. It turned the scale at 39481b, or 35cwt lqr; height, 6ft lin ; length, lift 9iu; girth, 9ft lOin ;at belly, 10ft llin; hocks, 2ft l^in; arm, 3ft; yoke, 7ft Biu ; age, eight years. On Wednesday evening the quadrille party assembling iv Cook-street Oddfellows' Hall will wind up the season with a select ball, ou which occasion the Orpheus String Baud, conducted by Mr Hanukiu, will be iv attendance. We may mention that the Cook-street assemblies have have been con ducted with much propriety, and they have afforded many pleasant, recreative evenings to a number of young persons.

The Tichborue claimant has petitioned the Home Secretary to make his two sentences concurrent—that is to say. that on finishing the one the other shall be con r sidered to have expired also. He expresses his desire also to be tried ova charge of forgery, so as to raise the whole question of his guilt or innocence.

The regular monthly meeting of the Lodge Ara will be held this evening, iv the Masouic Hotel, Princes-street.

Newspaper Companies seem to be about as profitable in Wellington as they were in Auckland. A Wellington journal says :— Messrs Laery and Campbell offered some shares in the " New Zealander" newspaper yesterday. There were no offers, although the auctioneer offered to take a bid of Is a piece for the shares. The " New Zealander" explains the matter thus : " The fact that the application and allotment money only had been paid on these shares, and that a con siderable amount was due for arrears of calls, prevent any offer being made for them, and they were, in. consequence, with drawn."

The teetotal meeting on Saturday even ing in the Albert-street Hall was better attended than on several proceeding Satur day's. Mr Hill occupied the chair, and spoke a good speech, sound and thorough in argument, without word-painting. Mr Brame also delivered an excellent speech in his wonted style, fluent 'and forcible on the " Trail of the-serpent," with local illstra tions. Songs were sung by Messrs Neal, Redfern, Rhodes, and Harding. Mr Samuel Worms gave a reading from Gough's auto biography, and Mr Moulden concluded the whole with an exhortation "to come up and sign," especially addressed to those who objected to the Templar Lodge, owing to its exclusiveness, but who would have no objection to sign the old teetotal pledge. Mr Wm. Kirby immediately arose and rushed toward the platform saying, "Blow me if I don't sign, where's the contract." He signed, and the choir immediately struck up, "God save the Queen." Prince Bismarck (the man of iron) now weighs 2431bs lOOgrammes, or exactly 401bs more then he did four years ago. Miss Emily Soldene is reputed to have earned a fortune of £10,000;

An eloquent young Scotch clergyman, li the course of a sermon last night, at a certain Presbyterian church not a hundred miles from the Glebe (in which sermon, to do the rev. gentleman justice, there were many beautiful thoughts), uttered the following extraordinary sentiment :— " Hell itself would be Heaven, "if Christ were there !" No one fainted ; but, then, Scotchmen are proverbially proof against hard theology. The expression forcibly brings to mind an anecdote of a certain Scottish monarch, who after he had vanquished all other kings of this earth, was gravely told by his Prime Minister that there was just one other kingdom to conquer. His Majesty demanded the name and where abouts of the place, and was informed that it was " the Kingdom o' Heaven." The Minister was at once ordered to demand a surrender. He returned, sayiug, " Aweel, your Majesty, I ha'naseen the King hissel', but I ha' seen ane d' his accredited Minis ters, en' he tells me that your Majesty can ha'e the Kingdom o' Heaven just for the askin'." " Gang back," said his Majesty, "and tell the King o' Heaven that for his civility the deil a Scotchman shall ever set foot in his kingdom."

In our list ot the passengers by the Hinemoa on Saturday, the names of Messrs. Hamlin and Tole, and Mesdames O'Rorke and Hobbs were omitted.

Certain parts of India have recently been troubled with a plague of locusts. Near Malloor, the railway trains passed them in such heaps that the fire-box of the engine (in one instance) became choked with the pests.

Mr E. JB. I 'ickson, Government Observer, writes:—"The week commenced with a heavy fall of rain, but since the morning of Sunday, the 26th October, the weather has been fine and bright, but windy, and deci dedly cool for this period of the year. The great height of the barometer has been a marked feature of the week. It was falling all day on the 25th and 26th, and at 8 a.m. of the 27th was at 29.782. Then a rapid run set in, and at 9.30 p.m. of the 29th, a period oi a little more than 90 hours it stood at 30.384. Since then there has been a very gradual fall. The mean is 30.275 which is above the 14 years average for < >ctober (29.979). The temperature has been rather cooler than that of the previous week, this difference arising from a lower range during the nights, for the day tem perature is practically the same for the two weeks The 31st October was the warmest day (69.4) ; and the Ist November the warmest night (57.7). The coolest day was the 29th October (60.9), and the coolest night the 27th (44.21). The average tempera tures are : Day, 64.2 ; night, 49.4 ; giving an approximate mean of 56.8 ; the general fourteen years' average for October being 59.7. In this week last year the tempera ture was 1.2 above the average. The wind during all Saturday was N.E.; thence shifting in the course of the night to S.W. It has been in that quarter, varying a little to either W. or S. The greatest amount registered for any 24 hours was 391 miles on the morning of the 2nd November ; being at the rate of 16£ miles per hour; the highest observed rate was 25_ miles per hour on the morning of Sunday the 27th, after the shift from N.E. to S.W. above mentioned. The average vilocity is 304 miles per day, or 12§ per hour. The rainfall of Saturday, the 26th, was the heaviest registered for any one day during the year, the heaviest indeed since the 21st of May, 1877. It amounted to 1.30 inches. Three other falls, those namely of the sth January, 16th January, and 22nd January, very nearly approached it in extent; but none other during the present year has equalled one inch in depth. The air since Sunday has been drier than usual; the average humidity for the week is 78 (scale 0-100); discarding the readings of Sunday morning (for the previous day) it is reduced to 75."

While the eccentric conduct of the " Apostle of Temperance," in relation to the poor man's beer as a necessary of life, has cast a shadow over the temperance reform, and given occasion to the enemy to blas pheme, the teetotallers of Melbourne have set a movement afoot, which, from its prac tical character, will command the approba tion of all well-wishers to their kind. The " coffee tavern" is an institution that ap proves itself not only to reason, bnt has the proofs of experience to commend it. A company has been formed with a large capital, the object of which is to establish a rival to the ordinary drinking bar, iii providing coffee, cocoa, and similar forms of refreshment. It does not appear that pecuniary results to the shareholders are a main element in the scheme, though there can be little doubt that conducted, as it is intended to be, on sound commercial principles, the proposal is as likely as any other mercantile venture to bring a fair return for the capital invested. But above and beyond this there is a motive which deserves the commendation of all who regard practical benevolence as of more value than mere theorising, and attempting to effect by force of legislation a violent revolution in our social habits.—Otago /Witness."

A moonlight excursion on the Waitemata takes place next Friday evening, given by the Artillery Company and Band as a com plimentary benefit to their bandmaster, Mr. liunter. Everything will be done to make it a thorough success. Two of the argest of the North Shore Ferry Company's boats hsve been engaged, and care will be taken to prevent any possibility of a mishap or overcrowding. A number of selections will be played by the band of which a pro gramme will be published. The tickets are being sold very rapidly, and we have no doubt it Avill be largely patronized by the public.

NIGHT SOIL CONTRACT.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In reply to your correspondent "Decency," in your Saturday's paper, you will perhaps allow me to state that "my hour for commencing night work is author ised by my contract with the City Council at 11 p.m., and I defy any person to prove that I commence earlier. It is true my carts (which have to come many miles) arrive in the outskirts of the city earlier, but no work is commenced until eleven o'clock, so that your correspondent and his friend must have imagined (because they saw the carts) the suppositionary odours. Previous to my present contract, complaints were forwarded to the Council that at the late hours the work was done, not only persons in the town, but. the unfortunate occupants at the Asylum, were disturbed. Again I am found fault with by a large number of residents in the city and suburbs that have to wait up to enable the men to pass through their premises, that they are kept out of their beds unnecessarily late. It is easy to be constantly finding fault, but some little allowances must be made to enable me to please all, in an unpleasant, but very necessary business. At the same time, I am quite prepared to make a dona

tionof £5 to any pe^nT^^^^ ani setting at defianceZt,?/^ 8 «** which I have entered LS^S**** Council.-Thomas Fauluer S*he %,

Suicide of Captain Goldsmith.

HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES.;;

(From Our Own Correspondent),

GRAHAMSTOWN. Sunday night. A SHOCKING suicide was discovered late last night, when thelifeless form of Captain Goldsmith, Mining Inspector, was dis-; covered in a chair, with a wound _in_nis mouth and arm, from which hehad bledto death. The wound in his arm had been ■• made with a pen-knife, and a large quantity of blood was found in vessels, but this not being sufficient to cause death, he had fired the chamber of a small pock** revolver into his mouth. A note addressed to the doctor was found asking for medicine, as he feared an attack of paralysis. An inquest will be held on Monday. The unhappy circumstances of the deatn of Captain Goldsmith, Mining Inspector ot the Thames gold-field, have caused great ex citement iv the townships of the Thames. Captain Goldsmith had been charged wita a criminal offence upon a little girl of iv, • . years, named McGregor, of Davy-street,;. which, it was alleged was committed on tne -afternoon of Thursday, the 24th ultinio. The accused, it it alleged, induced the girl to enter his house on the beach, where tne crime was committed. The girl informea her mother of the assault, and from tne excited states of the child, Mrs McGregw felt it to be her duty to take the girl to-Ur. Payne, who examined her, and coincmea with the mother's opinion, that an outrage had been perpetrated. Steps were taken» the matter; and Mr Miller, solicitor, sought an interview with the accused, but nou knowing his place of abode, did -.no*., , meet with Captain Goldsmith who, it was thought, had-left the Thames. The case was finally put into the hands of Inspector Bullen, who at once telegraphed to AucK land, giving particulars of the crime,.Wiw» the view to the arrest of the accused, wno, it was supposed might be in Auckland Capt. Goldsmith had been boarding at tne Pacific Hotel, and on the 25th October on leaving the hotel, he informed^ Curtis, the landlord, that _>_..*f about to spend a few days m.Aucklana. Mr Curtis states that,he noticed notwng/. unusual in the demeanour of Captam w»» smith; but, not being aware of the "HPen£' , % ing charge against him, he did not take more than ordinary notice of him. He was£ widower, and lived alone in a smallhouse near the wharf. A woman of the> locaMJ was iv the habit ofc_lean_mgJ__3_h_o^^
