Inspector Mallard, said Mrs Hodges is a wWow, and up till lately has resided at Arrow. The flood washed her house away; she has no home, and sho wants her children sent to the School for twelve months, so as to enable her to get a situation.

Mr Macaudrew goes North to-day. NAPIER, this day. A PAKEHA MAORI PEDAGAGUE. A good story comes from the vicinity of Taupo, Hot Springs. The Inspector- Geueral of Schools, who happened to be in that vicinity a few weeks ago, invited a number of ladies to the native school, in order to prove to them how these institu tions were gradually civilising our dusky brethren. The school is under the manage ment of a master who is a European, Tho ladies accepted the invitation, and the Inspector led the way. On entering the establishment imagine the Inspector's as tonishment on seeing the school-master had taken to the native customs of the district, aud was dressed with a red blanket hanging from his loins downwards, without boots, and a dirty flannel, open in the front, doing duty as shirt. Astounded at what he be held, the Inspector beat a hasty retreat, and begged his female friends to postpose their visit to the inside of the school for a few minutes; he then interviewed the school master, who, to make himself presentable, put on an old coat, and thus attired re ceived his visitors, who did not stop longer in the school than was necessary. WELLINGTON, this day. SALE OF A SHEEP RUN. Mr Duncan sold Mr James Gilligah's estate at Taueru for £13,000. The purchaser is Mr Sadfield, a well-known Canterbury con tractor. The property includes 2,818 acres of land, about 3,000 sheep, and a few horses. SCENE AT A CREDITORS' MEETING. There was a scene at a meeting of cred itors of Beck and Tonks, merchants, who recently failed for about £21,000. Beck wished to be present, but as he would not acknowledge himself a bankrupt, he was requested to retire. This he refused to do, upon which a formal motion was passed, again asking him to leave; a second refusal caused the landlord of the hotel to be sum moned. As he could notsucceedin inducing Beck to leave, he threatened to bring the police and went out for that purpose. He did not succeed in obtaining a constable but returned with several assistants, and proceeded to remove Beck by force. Beck at first offered determined resistance and a scuffle took place in the room; but seeing that he was over-matched, he finally con sented to leave the room, and business was then proceeded with. THE STREET TRAMWAY. Mr Blackett has reported on the tramway. He notes that they habitually run, over ten miles an hour in-wide streets,'and four in Manners-street; also that steam is allowed to escape; although the promoters held out as aspecial inducement that there would be no smoke. He recommends therefore not .that the use of steam power be disallowed ; but that if; shall be permitted only under strict observance of the regulations, (1) as to the stipulated speed in all cases, (2) as to the distance at which the trams may follow each other, (3) as to the suppression of steam and smoke nuisance. A letter embracing the terms of the reports has accordingly been sent by the Government to the tram- , way company.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Women's Temperance Crusade at Sydenham. Eoseby, Adams, Jago, and other alphabetical Templars are engaged in a grand temperance crusade. The Rev. Smalley announced in Christchurch that it was the intention of the women in Sydenham Borough to sit down before all the drinking shops, and endeavour with prayers and psalms to shut them up. THE SURVEYS. The surveys of most of the town sections in Christchurch turn out to_ be wrong, and special legislation will be necessary to correct them. The Railway Department have the finest steam fire-engine in the colony. At two fires lately, in the immediate vicinity, its use was refused to the City Brigade, to the great loss of property. It is truly asserted that no organisation knows the use of the engine but themselves, and the only time it was used it broke down. AMY SHERWIN. Amy Sherwin's final concert was given last night to a crowded and enthusiastic house. She left by rail for the South this morning. The laud sales have received great check lately. The weather continues dry and intensely hot, and there are fears for the crops, which increase daily. Mr Macfarlane's address excited great ridicule. [PRESS AGENCY.] WELLINGTON, this day.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. .Southmiaister Inquiry. At'the preliminary iuq uiry held re the wreck of the Southminister, the captain says he is not certain as to the amount of in surances on the vessel, but values her at £12,000. It is not quite clear, from the evidence, what was the immediate cause of the wreck, as every care seems to have been taken, unless it was the efFect of a current setting the ship in shore during the foggy weath which prevailed. OAMARU, this day. ! THE COMING MAN. The Hons. J. Macandrew and Fisher arrived here last night, and will be deputa tionised to-day. They leave for the North this afternoon.

REV. FATHER HENNEBERRY.

At the marquee last evening Rev. Father Henneberry announced that news had been "received of the appointmeut of a bishop for the diocese of Auckland, which he had no doubt would be a source of joy to all. The plndge was administered to over 200 per sous. The rev. father delivered a discourse on the 'Last Judgment,' depicting the scenes of the great day, as revealed in the scrip tures and expounded by the Fathers of the Church. This evening the rev. gentleman will explain a system for the maintenance of efficient Catholic schools, on the principle of free education. THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADE. The rev. father has already opened his crusade against intemperance. The large pledge cards are prepared in artistic style. The centre contains the form of pledge, which is a simple promise, with blanks for the insertion of the date on which the con vert to cold water principles was admitted to the Roman Catholic Temperance Associa tion by the Rev. P. Henneberry. Over this is a crown of glory, typical of the prospective reward of thefaithfulteetotaller; and below a draped design, with the words, "Founded by the very Rev. Theobald Matthew, 10th April, IS3S." The pledge is also flanked by two horns of plenty, signifying the savings which the abstainer will be enabled to lay by. Above these are fac-similes of the medals issued to recruits. The whole is neatly bordered with an ornamental scroll. We have also seen a bronze medal, which bears on the obverse side an allegorical representation of the "Fruits of Temperance," and below, the word "Happiness." On the reverse side is the form of the pledge, with the words " Given by P. Henneberry."

Mr Eyre, Victoria-street, has also a very large stock, some £200 worth of green silk scarfs, trimed with silver and gold lace and badges. These were made by nuns, and are intended to be worn on the occasion of the procession of Father Matthewites on Sunday next. The regalia is sold at ..very reasonable prices.

SECULAR EDUCATION.

(To the Editor of the STAE.)

SIR, —If I may judge by your valuable articles from time to time on the subject of education, I think you will allow some re marks on this great question from a some what different point of view. There is no doubt the secular system possesses many great advantages, and if it were carried out according to the ideas of the first promoters it would be one of the grandest systems of education that have yet existed. The Government were to supply ample means for properly carrying out the various depart ments of education. The committees, anxious for the welfare of the institutions would appoint the ■ best men that could be obtained to manage and teach these institutions. A regard for the public good would hinder the nepotism and favouritism that were said to char acterise the denominational system. Now this system has only entered on its noble career, and already we find a worse state of things than under the old system. Formerly it was absolutely necessary for the master of a good school to possess high academical distinctions; now we find the most lucrative and important positions conferred on lucky men with no university standing at all, andthe direction of the most essential matters of education committed to men with very little or no scholarship. These are the blemishes in the secular system that fight against it more than an army of agitators. Lately we have heard of a Minister of Education, and why does hi 3 name not appear amongst the Commissioners ? Or is it possible that he has neither university standing, nor the neces sary scholarship ? There is nothing personal in referring to this mysterious personage, for we know nothing of him. But it is a wonderful thing that the Minister of Education can give no opinion on higher class education. The cflecfc of the existence of denominational schools checks the evil of indiscriminate appoint ments, and I have no doubt that the men who favour the higher denominational schools desire to resist a great evil that daily gains ground. Why, I have known a bankrupt tobacconist, an aged carpenter et alii ex hoc over schools in Otago when educated teachers could get nothing to do. We absolutely need the healthy compe tition of denominational schools for maiay years yet, until the secular systemistruly and satisfactorily carried out. If there were no opposition of this kind you would now have to fight tooth and nailagainst the evils of the secular system. See how many times you have pointed out the folly of some men forming themselves j into a University Senate and conferring degrees which they had never gained themselves^ and yet the folly remains. In Melbourne, I understand they began.in the same way; but they got ashamed of it, and sent home for a really able University man, and gave him full powers. Well! the University of Melbourne is now an honourable and useful institution. We all admire the wisdom of Mr Boffin, who gave up pen and ink to one skilled in the use of them. Every sensible man will view with regret the blemishes and Infirm ities in the secular system, that has so lately started on a glorious career, and the effort of every good man, whether commis sioner or not,|ought to be to do his best to have all the good accomplished that was first expected from it.—Yours &c, Te Pom

A WANT AT ELLERSLIE.

(To the Editor of the Star.)

Sir,—l am, as every correspondent says, a reader of yonr valuable paper, and cannot help beins: struck by the number of advertisements of small tradespeople I see every day in it. I think they must almost iostle each other in Auckland. It cannot, surely, be known that between New market and Panmure there is not a single store. We poor neglected Ellerslieites are condemned to either go without any small article forgotten, or send two miles for it. For iußtance, we run short of a pound of sugar or a loaf, or the mice or rats run off with it, and we must borrow of our neighbours (who generally take just enough for their own families), or fast until it can be sent for. And all housekeepers will agree with me that bread is only one item in a hundred. I lust mention this as a hint to any enterprising tradesman. The convenience of a few trades people here would be appreciated by the whole district, especially as the population is steadily on the increase.—Youre, &c, an Ellerslie Resident. .
