I At the sujgeation of Mr Moss and Mr llmidou, member for Mr Reid's district, the" fPetitions Committee deferred their leport Eto give Mr Reid an opportunity of sending levidence iv support of the statements in his fpotition, as none is available in Wellington. pt is useless for petitioners to send petitions sjuule« they support them with evidence. QUESTIONS.

I Me Anbrsws gave notice to ask whether Hihe removal of the Railway Commissioner to Duncdin is permanent. ;| The report on the petition of Edward Douglas, re a grant of land, is to the effect ihat petitioner has no claim. i The Native Affairs Committee recom- Blended that the Government give Mr Te Wheoro a grant of laDd in compensation for land wrongfully confiscated. ;f§ Mr Barron moves that subsidies be paid to local bodies to the end of the financial year 1881. I A Judicial Commission baa been appointed - to inquire into the constitution and practice Of the Supreme Courts. ' Ten days' leave of absence was granted to Captain Colbeck. CORPORATION AMENDMENT ACT. Mr Moss has given notice to add after ibe word "borough" in the interpretation iiauae of the Municipal Corporation Act, provided always that where by-laws are to "be made or amended by any Borough IJouucil, it should not be necessary to do more than affix printed copies of said by-laws or amendments to such public places in the borough, and to publish an ' abitract of the same copies with a full des cription of the public places in the borough to which they are affixed." PATETERE. % In reply to Sir George Grey, Mr Betce Bflid seventeen Patetere blocks were before Nshe Land Court. He could not tell how iiiany had gone through. The names of the gentlemen who came to Mr Bryce's offices fa Aueklaud with reference to the survey and purchase of Patetere were : Messrs. Walker, Moon, Richard Dilworth and Ho war i. HAVAL VOLUNTEERS' PETITION. I Mr SWANSOM asked what action the Government intended to take regarding the Petition of the Auckland Naval Volunteers 9 Mr Rollestok said the matter u'jf'was reieired by the Waste Lands Committee to tbe Commissioner of Crown Lands, Auckland, to enquire and jcport, and he reported that petitioners entitled to remission of certificates, ivhic '** WOJ'd bave been issued but for the jj e ,,l ec |.

Bioiit was that the claims could not be entertained. He considered tbe claims ; oistiuct aud different from general claims lor extension of time, where petitioners had iiiued to exercise their scrip. He would like to enquire further before giving a flccision. He would not like to reverse the dedaion of the former Government without iull inquiry, but would take care before the •end of theses3ion that the subject should Mpe so cousidered as to enable the Govern- JMplgnt to bring these claims forward JKtt'he Special Powers and Contracts Bill. HUe was not prepared to say to what extent lj|the claims should bo recognised without enquiry, but considered a good prima facie Sasc was made out. H Mr Swanson said he would like to see .the deciaion of the late Government. This Ilgiras the first he had heard of the matter. He win led to believe the late Government , was favourable. , Mr KoLutSTON said it was a Ministerial inmute.-which could not be shewn. I RASING NATIVE LANDS. mt During the afternoon sitting, Mr MURRAY Kit, , c foll°wing notice of motion for ■PlWMlay next:-"That in the opinion of Kk I?.°.

mado a Public Telegraph and Post Office sa4 the Postmaster of Auckland was highly favourable. The PKBMtEK was sorry ho could not comply with the request, which would necessitate a separate staff. They were not justified in incurring the expense. THifi GOVERNMENT AND EEDUC TIONS. •MB Mo is has paired with Mr Colbeck on au queatious alfectmg the existence of the Governmeut. To show that the Government made a Ministerial question of the division on reducing the estimates, tha Premier told Ml- Moss that he so regarded it, and could not accept a defeat apon it. Mic Keaoku Wood voted against the Goveremenr the whole afternoon, which was occupied m discussion on the question of reducing salaries ten per cent, Mr Seddon made many speeches viciously attacking the Government and accusing Mr Hall of discourtesy. MitSAI7HDERB,in defending the Ministry, called Mr Seddon a Grey-hound, and the former retorted by calling the member for Cheviot a blood-hound.

Things were getting warm, when the members adjourned to a luxurious dinner at Lellamys. .rvaer ui.mer the speeches were remark w f°r tlle Pers'stcnce with which the \Vest Coast members resisted reductions to the cost of their mail service, in contrast to their lonsr, fervid orations on the necessity for severe retrenchments. Mr Uurathouse who sits within call behind Ministers, was also an enthusiastic retrenoher until Mr Soddon wanted to aooliah a mail service to CplUagwood Hush township, which aroused his ire, and caused him to launch out on the supreme importance to the world in general of the maintenance of daily coiumu nidtion with C illingwood.. Uavin" drawn the badger, Mr Seddon withdrew his motion.

In introducing the estimates, the Premier had stated that the Government did not consider Mr sauaders's resolution carried by the House imposed a hard and fast condition of ten per cent., but rather affirmed a general principle. The Govern ment found that no injustice would be done in applying the resolution, as in most cases the wages paid by Government were higher than were paid by private employers for similar work.

Ml ItACANDBEVV thought it would let members home sooner if they pissed tho estimates in a lump and let the Government nuke the deductions indicated.

Mr Lundox declared thn proposal " rubbish," and was called to order by the Speaker.

Mr Header Wood proposed the reduc tion of the item " General Post Office " by £500. J

The Premier declared that it was im possible. In 1870 the number of letters were something over two millions—now, however, they had increased to something considerably over 7,000,000. He had ascertained that the work of the depart ment cimld not possibly be conducted with fewer hands than at present. After various attempts at reduction the item was carried as printed. Considerable reductions were made in the conveyance of mail* by sea aud inland, among thoso dispensed with being the coach service between Tauranga and Napier. In submitting the Telegraph Department, Mil HALL said the business was increasing. Considerable savings had been made by amalgamations. There were, however, S4 stations that did not pay expenses, (he total loss being £5,800. He enumerated the offices which did not pay. All they proposed was to add an extra 6d to mes sages to aud fi-Din these offices. They had either to do that or close them altogether. Another economy it was proposed to prac-

tise was to close offices between 5 and 7 o'clock. By tint means they would be able to dispense with 27 oflicers. He pro posed, in making these dismissals, to do so irrespective of length of service, simply re taining the moat competent men. Many of

those dismissed would be entitled to com pensation. The sating would be £3400, but against that they would have £940 to pay as compensation. They also proposed to dis pense with one of the inspectors in the North Island. They proposed also to effect a saviug oa the cable subsidy to the extent of Gd a message. Another saviug could be effected in regard to the cable service. The late Government had entered into a pro visional contract with the other Australian colonies regarding the duplication of the Port Darwin cable. That contract was subject to the confirmation of Parliament, but he considered the terms so inequitable to New Zealand that, although in fulfil ment of a promise given by the previous Government he would submit a resolution

to the House, giving it an opportunity of confirming thut contract, he could not advocate that course being adopted. Some £SOO a year would be saved by not agreeiug to the terni3. The telegraph vote \va3 re duced by £3,704 on t!ie motion of the Premier, and the House continued in com mittee on the estimates uottl the adjourn ment half an hour after midnight.

A li MtSNISCEiN^E OS THE EARLY DAYS.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,— In the early days of Auckland, about 1843, a Maori chief was tried fo: steal,!?," a Ojp from- the store of \V. £}. Uruhame Jbort-street. lie was lout,a guilty. After sentence had been passed upon him by the judge-, the Hun. F, WhitaKer, cad before Uo was removed Horn the dock, a lot of Maori chief-i ruslied into tUe Court iio\i=e and carried him out, aud he made "ood his escape. In the "Herald" of the 15,h June last there was a paper headed "Memorials of Old Auckland," givin" a history of what took ph.ee at the time, a°ud stating the particulars of the recapture, and also tlie after history of the Maori prisoner. In reading the paper referred to, I fouud that, although it was based on a tact, most ot the events said to have taken place were pure liction. Being well acquainted with the facts, I wrote to the Editor of the "Herald," pointiug out some of the mi-, takes tnat had crept iut> the paper. No notice was taken, njr were any if the ml • statements corrected. My only object ia writing to the "Herald" was "this : It old events, that, are vow history, are to bo pub lished for the inatruetion of the puolic justice and fair play to the actors in the event, aud aho to the public, demand that the facts should be given without exaggera tion. [ will give you a sample of what"was stated iv the paper to have taken place, aud what really did take place at the re-capture of the iVaori prisoner. Major Buubury re captured the Maori, aud then they brought him into Auckland with a rope round his waist. There is not a tittle of truth in that statement. The fact is that the Major aud hia party never recap tured the Maori prisoner at all, The Major aud his party did capture a very small canoe aud a blue.blanker,—the owner of the blanket slipped out, and made good his escape. The lats Mr Clark, an agent of the Church Missionary Society, induced the Maories to give up the prisoner to the Government, which they did in a day.or two. they took him to Auckland themselves, and gave him up a week or two afterwards. The then Governor (Fitzroy,) granted him a free pardon. Nor is it true that the Maori prisoner fought aloug with Her Majesty's troops in the late Maori war. The fact is, that himself aud family were amongst the first to join the King movement, and they also fought against Her Majesty's troops throughout the Waikato war. The Maori prisoner was a near neighbour of mine for a short time before, and for several years after his im prisoument, and I believe he never forgot or forgave it. The stigma stuck to his family. —I am, &c,

JUVENILE SMOKING.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— Before the present Centenary celebra tion movement has entirely evaported, it would be well to remember there is some thing in our midst to-day so injurious to the young that it is difficult to conceive of anything physically as we!l, as morally worse a hundred years back, vi;:., juvenile smoking. So many instances of this— which is so destructive to youthful bloom and viror—are vow to be seen in mere lads not much more than half grown, not to mention scores upon scores of young men, mechanics ant! others, who are met daily en our streets with those turnip-coloured cheeks, indica tive of poison?.l health, aud, possibly, a premature grave. Could not Sunday-school teachers, aud all tru': friends of your.li, take a firm yet kindly stand .-.gainst this growing evil, that is threatening already to undtv miue all national robustness, energy and stamina of body and mind. This injurious habit if left unnoticed in the young will, in course of time, produce but a nation of stunted and short-livid imbeciles. A want of rational home evening occupation would seem to be the grand cause of this increas ing evil, as well as that of the senseless

and silly ds-.ncing which entices so ipany of the idle and empty-niiuded. Can Suuday school workers try to devise and provide some remedy in measure to turn the youth ful mind into some better path. The pre sent would indeed be a most lilting oppor tuuity. If au anti-smoking league weie formed, .with superintendents 'of Sunday schools as presidents, we think Jit mis;ht be eminently successful in all town?.—l am &c, X.Y.Z.

Uncle Eph Kimble's Mis take.

HE RAISES THE DEUCE TRYING TO LIGHT HIMsELF To BED WITH A KOMAN CANDLE.

Honesdale, I'A., May 26. Some of the boys were collected about the Allen House stove discussing the fishing season. The Old Settler was in his usual position in the big bulialo-skiu chair, listen ing to the conversation. He has a great contempt for the "young sporta," as he terms them, and when one of the boys was heard to regret the fact that things weien't like they were iv old time.3, ho swooped down on the crowd like a hawk on a chicken.

"Ole times i" he conteraptuausly ex claimed. " Ole times I What d'you year lin' calfe know 'bout o!e times ? 1 reckon they's a good spriukliu1 o' you ez don't reekomember th'days o'taller dipj, even. How many o' you fellers, in these yer days o' gas and kerryseen, 'd think ye k'd act down to yarn by th' glim 'v a durned 010 rag stack inter a sa^ser o' hum-made taller. —which a dozen of 'era scattered about a seven-t'-nine bar-room didn't make no more light th'n a flock o' lightnin' bugs iv a ten-acre lot —I'd like t' know t Ye cudn't none o' ye do that, an' ye can't none o'ye reekomember th' times when it had t' be did. Yit I'm gummed ef ye don't put on ez many airs ez ef ye'd ben churns o' ole Nimrod hiaself, an' he'd tol' lies bi th' light o' th' pillar o' fire that led th' 'Gipahins inter bondige 1 " They ain't notbin' in th' broad land better fur a cold on th' chist {th'a New Ingl'n rum an' nigger toe m'lasaes. I ain't had a wuss cold in forty year th'n Ive gut t'-day. An,' boys, speakin' o' taller dips, did ye ever hear how Uncle Eph Kiniblo got set way back once b' inakin' a mistake 'bout a caudle I"

The old. settler never likes to get left when the festive cup is being passed. The boys knew how to soften him. He took his rum ».nd nigger too, and settled himself in his chair with all the bettemes3 gone from his soul. The story about Uncle Eph was called for.

" 'Twere long 'nufl'ago fur them ez was babies when it happened t' be old 'miff for t' vote th' straight Dimmykratic ticket," said the old man. "Th' folks up 'long the 'Dyberry thought they'd hey a reg'Jar tip tearin, ole sellybration one Fourth o' July, with fireworks an'all th' modern imprope ments. They got a lot o' sky rockets an' Roamin candles an' fizz-wheels, an' th' durndest passel o' pcrmiskus waste o' good powder th'c th' kommittue k'd lay their hau's, on ez long ez th' money held out. I'sposf ole Dyberry woods hadn't see sich a time seuce th' "lujins usty whoop an' howl an' caper round their camp fires. Tfc' fireworks went off splendid. Is'pose they was powder 'nuff burnt t' keep th1 hull p' Dyberry in amunitiou for a year. No body's Roamin candles ever roamed pootier th'u these.up tp the Dyberry. These can dies was so han'some like th't some o. Uncle Eph Kimble's folks kep' a couple of 'em an' stuck one inter a big candlestick pn each end p' thp mantletree in the eittin' room fur a nornvment. 'f Quite a wile arter th' sellybration Unple Eph were down th' river with some lumber, an' he bought a barl of Jones's Philadelily ale. Wheu th' barl come, he rolled it inter th1 cellar o' his ptore, and it soon got noised 'round that they wa n t -er nothin' know'd 'long th1 Dyberry t' ne< ; Uncle Eph's ale. One aiight a lot o !£«•' gathered in Uncle .Eph's bar, an' thntwlsmi drinkin' ale pooty dura lively. Ephknowed he were siugin' songs With tn boys th't none of Jemhed ever hard afore, an'was a teltin' yarns th't made 'em all h OW I When th' ole man started fur hum, ez he says hisself, he endn't a told th'moon from a measure o' oats. Th' folks bed all gone f bed, an' tho house were darker n t'lmighty ! said Eph. Ye know it's ez nat'ral fur him t 1 say that ez it is fur him feat.. ' B'gosh t'lmighty 1 th' ok 'ooman 's turned in, an'-don't ye see !-I m turned out!' ' ~ . ... ,■ -, "But he got inth' house all right, got some matches out'a th' tin box under th j kitchen mantletree, an' went a tottenn 'round on hjs Joes *' nd a candle- Me cuda't nod none i» t}i' kitchen, so he got inter th' settin' rojm, struck a match, an pooty soon see th 1 Epamin candles with their long wicks a stickin' up on each end to th' mantle. "B'gosh t'lmighty I" says TJnols Eph, talkin' to hiaself, " didn't leave roe no kit, chen candle, hey ! Then, don't ye see ? I'll light one o' yer part' ones. I aint goin' "bed in no dark, "b'gosh t'lmighty !"

So he takes one o' the Roamin candles out'n the caudlestick.

"Seems fine th' ole 'ooman's a puttin' a heap v' Ullei inter her candles lately, don't yon set ?'' said Uiide Eph, recognizing th' 31S size of the one he b^d in his baud.

He totches a match t'th', lionmiu caudle an starts fur the Dndroom door. He had jest tim 3t' say. ' B>osh t'almighty ! those yer n w-fai gl d candles don't give no more lyiii nor an old-fuaL'u taier dip i' Whc. he begun f liaar from the fireworks.

When the candle gin out she got up an' went an' struck a light. She k'd hardly see in th' settin' room fur th' smoke, aa' she said it smelt like th' Fourth o' July all over a»iu.

An' ef ye did, what devil did you go an' put inter the taller ?'''

Lord Wolverton, whom Mr Gladstone called first iuto his councils, and who has just beeu appointed Paymaster-General, is best known even yet as "George Glyn," under which name he waa for several years the popular whip of the Liberal party in tho House of Curnmous. He is a cousin of Mra Gliulxtoue, and his father—head of the bankiug house of Glyn, Halifax and Co.—was made a peer by Mr Gladstone. Mr Gladstone is much attached to him. One evening of a great vital division Mr Glyn, acting as teller of the majority, walked up on the right side to declare the vote to the Speaker. When he got to the table, being a stutterer, he found himself suddenly unable to speak, possibly_ from excitement, and the greater the exertion tho greater became the difficulty. In this novel condition ot things*, Disraeli, who behaved with a want of feeling unusual to him, called the attention of the House to the fact, and tho Speaker, who could find no precedent, was obliged to tnake one, and have the vote declared by the Chief Clerk. Although it was 3 o'clock when the division was taken, Mr Glyn, who felt deeply his position, found at 8 o'clock Mr Gladstone by his bedside, who, without once referring to what had passed, merely said, "George, I have come to breakfast with you," and was so S3 7mpathetic and agreeable that in a few hours all was for gotten. George Glyn often relates with emotion this act of tender delicacy.
