the establishment of French schools in

Amongst the dispositions _ taken lately, we mustnot forget to mention that there will be an exposition of musical art and one of anthropology. The musical composers envied the artists, painters, sculptors, and architects the facilities Avhich Avere always given to the latter to produce their works in the annual Salons and universal Exhibition. _ Several persons thought that the aspira tions of the composers could get satisfaction Dy the organisation of a series of musical hearings, in Avhich should be executed un edited "or little-knoAvn works; peaceably ad mitted by a jury. The Expository of 1878 Avill bear the hon our of that innovation. You are aAvare that there is constructed on the Trocadero a large concert-hall. That large _ place Avill be appropriated to the exposition of musical art. A special commission has been named to preside at the organisa tion of that exposition, and a credit of 250 OOOfcs. has been alloAved for the realisa tion of the programme Avith which this commission presided by the Director of Fine Arts conjointly Avith M. Ambroise Thomas, Director of the Conservatoire of Music, have been charged to study the details. As to the Exposition of the anthropologic sciences, it has been the object of the atten tion of the Administration by the official approbation given to the rules prepared by the special commission Avho has organized it.

STRIKING A AVIFE,

William Henry Nicol, on remand, Avas •charged Avith striking Alice Mary, his wife, on the 13th inst., Avith intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. Mr Tyler appeared for Mrs Nicol, and said that the assault arose out of a domestic quarrel betAveen the man and Avife, and rather than make disclosures of an un pleasant nature, he Avould ask that the complaint may be Avithdrawn. Sub-Inspector Pardy offered no objection, and the Bench alloAved the case to be Avith draAvn. AN ARISTOCRATIC HORSE. Solomon Reid, grocer, Avas charged Avith permitting his horse to AA'ander in Regent street, Grafton Road, on the 10th inst. Mr Reid pleaded guilty, and AA'as ordered to pay a fine of 5s and costs.

neighbours' qua heels

George McCrae appeared in ansAver to a charge upon a summons for using offensive language to John Cutler, of Remuera, on the 2nd inst. Mr Tyler appeared for the complainant, and Mr Hesketh for the defence. Mr Macffarlane suggested that, as the •case appeared to be a quarrel among neigh bours, it Avould be better, if j possible, to settle it Avithout the intervention of the Court. Complainant was not Avilliug to do this," and the case proceeded. John Cutler, proprietor of an omnibus, residing at Remuera, met Mr McCrae on the road on the 2nd i inst., driving a pony of his in the direction of NeAvmarket pound. He spoke to defendant, who complained that one of "* " -Ms (Cutler's) boys had tried to rescue the ""tRC"*. -_-TiS£J.E£ ye on the stand, Avhen McCrae returned, aria*-at.er* _ --Vy-:V7-._- Mo'iy.e^ made use of the language stated in the information. He asked defendant to leave, as hej had no| business Avith him. McCrae then said, "you have already got one woman bound over through your perjury in Court, but you have not got me, neither do I conceal stolen property ; you have not got Eaton to play with.' He, complainant, said, " there's time enough for that." Mr McCrae then started with the pony to the pound. Mrs Eaton then came out and assisted in chasing the pony. The pony was not pounded ; after a yarn between Mr McCrae and Mrs Eaton, they left the pony. He did not insult Mr McCrae. Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh. He had been on good terms Avith McCrae. Had put an advertisement in the STAB on the stn February about a pistol, and asking for -a written apology for Avords used to his wife. He considered that he had received an apology in the form of a receipt for the pistol signed by N. C. Roaa'C He did not call McCrae a d liar. Taylor kneAV nothing of the affair, for he Avas as " tight us a fiddler."

Mr Tyler : Do fiddlers get tight ? Mr Cutler : They used to say so a. hen I was a boy. Defendant then explained about the pistol, which led to the advertisement in the Star. The pistol had been taken from the house of Mr McCrae, and was being used by some boys in shooting. He secured the pistol to prevent an accident, and offered to return it to Mr McCrae.

James Barnsley, carpenter, in the employ of Mr Jones, saw defendant taking the horse to the pound. He Avas on Cutler's 'bus, and heard the Avords used by Mr McCrae. Cutler did say sbmethiug about a man acting as McCrae did being a "crawler."

To Mr Hesketh : Mrs Eaton mounted her horse and galloped after the pony. She was first class on horse-back.

Dennis Haiper, John Cutler, and other witnesses gave corroborative evidence. Albert Smith, district ranger, stated that Mr McCrae had told him that he intended to have Mr Cutler apprehended. He has lost property, also one pound, and some harness, and he suspected where they were gone to. This being the complainant's case, Mr Hesketh addressed the Bench.

The Bench having considered the evidence, were of opinion that there Avere faults on both sides, and dismissed the case, each party to pay his OAvn costs. This Avas all the business.

MUSICAL, THEATRICAL, AND SOCIAL JOTTINGS.

At some private theatricals recently given at Eaton Hall, the Duchess of Westminster played with much spirit the part of Mrs Col. Carver, in " Woodcock- Little Game." i Joseph Hatton's novel "The Queen of Bohemia." has already run into a second edition, and Avill be dramatised by the author and James Albery'of " TwoJßoses,'fame. The Colosseum Theatre at Liverpool has been closed by the Magistrates, because the entrance to certain parts of the house was only a penny. This is rather a strong piece of tyranny. Madame Adelina Patti Avas to play for ten nights in the title role of "Aida," at La Scala Milan, in March. _,_ Alfred Cellier is writing a cantata. The sub ject is Gray's famous " Elegy." The Enplish translation of Nicolai's ''Merry Wives of Windsor," is a great success. It is to be hoped that we may soon see it here. It is generally understood that a marriage will shortly take place between the Duke of Connaught and the Princess Louise, daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, of Germany. Some sensation has been created by some very funny papers called "The Tender Recollections of Irene McGillicuddy," which are appearing in "Blackwood's Magazine." They are attri buted to Mr Laurence Oliphant. Mr Archibatd Forbes is on a short lecturing tour. His subject ti "The Personal Expe riences of a War Correspondent." The following parody of .McDermott's famous "War Song" which "is being sung everywhere, hits the "Daily Telegraph" rather hard: We don't want to fight; but, by jingo, if we do. We must lay all our trouble to the organ of the Jew, Which hounds us on to war, and, instead of what is true, Gives us 'Gay's Fables'ifrom Constanti nople. The '" Times" recently (referred to a certain exalted personage as the Prince of Waltze ! An autograph letter from Kit! y Olive to David Garrick recently fetched 15 guineas at auction,

and one from Mrs Siddons to Mrs Piozzi seven guineas. A Mr Ransome has invented a tree-felling machine, which worked [by three men, will do the work of two doze^ ordinary wood-cutters.

. At the Canterbury Music Hall there is a A rery well managed spectacle representing the fail of Plevna, which is drawing all London. The late Lord Mayor of London,- Sir Thomas White, is about to be married. It is just possible that, in recognition of Sir Thomas's services in connection Avith the Indian Famine Fund, Lord Beaconsfield may confer the new female order of Knighthood on Lady White.

Whilst at a hall in Scotland, a distinguished but youthful naval officer -well known in society, haATing partaken rather too freely of champagne, essayed to embrace a Aery charming married lady. Words followed, and subsequently apologies ; but all to no purpose. The young gentleman has been obliged to send in his resignation to my Lords of the Admiralty. i There is no truth in the statement that the Duke of Manchester will rule Canada.

The "World" says that the Duke of Cambridge told a distinguished Frenchman in conversation that AA rar Avas impossible for England, as there was no army, and that all the tall talk would end in nothing.

That it is desirabietheregulations should be modified with a view to the examination of students in Mr White's case. _ It was moved as a regulation by the Rev. Mr AndreAV and carried, "That students of the Otago University Avho matriculate before the affiliation with the University of NeAV Zealand, may at their option, be deemed to have been matriculated students of the University of NeAV Zealand, and the terms which they have kept at^he former University may be recognised at the latter.

CLIFFORD'S PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEWS.

Mr" Clifford's entertainment in the Albert Hall Darby-street, continues to draw numbers of persons, who invariably express pleasure in theT presence of the lruits of the modernurt. Last evening a series of excellent views of club-houses, monuments, military exercises the Nationkl Gallery, and the palaces of St. James* and Buckingham, formed the first series of exhibition*. All these scenes were in the city Of West minister, souih of Temple Bar. and might have been appropriately termed Hlus

trations or Westminster." These views were accompanied with explanations and anecdotes from Mr Clifford's own experience of London life. The rich story of Scion House, with th* lion wagging his tail. Avas told with much gusto, and excited a thrillina. sensation among the audience.

FEMALE LABOUR.

(To the Editor.)

SIR, —I have been asked to call your atten tion to a female grievance which is growing up in this city. Machine girls are supposed by Statute hr\v, I believe, to Avork from 9 to 6, 5 days, and 9to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. I am told that in Dunedin the Avork-rooms are visited for the purpose of finding out if the laAv is respected, and that some delinquents have been found and lined. I believe it is a Avell-estnblishcdfactnoAV that excessive hours at even improved sewing machines is extremely injurious, and certainly complainants' faces betokened any thing but robust health. The flimsy and untruthful excuses often resorted to are in too many cases only a blind to hide their greed and avarice ; and these work-room labour employers had better take the hint, for if they have had their way so long that they are likely to feel aggrieved at being compelled to keep the laAv, the sooner some of them are made to pay the penalty the better for society; moreover, if some of these employers had sisters similarly situated how they Avould howl ! Against the wrong that should need resistance, „but by Liav be fined. —Yours, &c, PHILAN THROPY,

THE TELEPHONE OUTDONE.

(From our Paris Correspond rnt.)

PARIS, Jan. 15.

Professor Loomis, of Washington, has devoted his life to demonstrating the practicability of a theory Avhich he has long entertained, that telegraphic com munication can be carried on, Avithout the aid of Avires, by means of a current of electricity which ho has shown to be con stantly in existence in the air at cer tain altitudes, and which is capable of transmitting messages between two per pendicular wires, reaching into that strata, Avhatever the distance may be. The later reports of his experiments seem to indicate that he is on the point of succeeding, as he has already sent messages a distance of eleven miles in this Avay; using the Morse battery in connection Avith one of his OAvn invention. The fact seems to be assured that aerial telegraphing can be really carried out practically, though its great value will be in long distances, such as from one side of an ocean to the other. Mr Loomis is iioav making arrangements for a series of experiments between the peaks of .the Alps and the Rocky Mountains of America. If he succeeds, of course the telegraphing be tween the old Avorld and the uoav Avill be cheapened a thousand-fold ; and he is thoroughly convinced that before many years the submarine cables will be lying abandoned and useless in their ocean beds. We cannot, hoAvever, help thinking, that even if these electrical atmospheric layers do really exist, they must be subject to such great derangements from thunder storms or Avhirhvinds as to very materially affect their vobility.

KVJEJSIJNG- STAR FRIDAY, MARCH «5



The value ot coke as a tuel, and aa a means oi economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes_of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs .lie smoke 01 inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, aim lenders the fire brighter,clearer, and hotter. This is much . more apparent Avhere our local coals arc used ; indeed, OAving to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elsewhere— [AdvT.l Some Very Handsome Mottled Kauri, Rimu and Cedar Wardrobes, Avith Plate Glass Doors, are noAV on view at the City Hall Arcade.
