THE ORANGE OELEBKVriON,

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—Regarding Mr Loh»'s letter of the 28th inst. as the-wind up of the diaeusaior^ I was surprised to find him in your issue of tho 29th, reiterating all his old charges with variations. I have not much time at my disposal, so for the last time I will endeavour, avoiding all personalities, to answer Mr Long's objections to Orangeism. He asks, "Is the cause of religious truth and political freedom aided by the Orange Society." Dismissing the political freedom question as one on which he is unable to determiue, he takes the fact that our amiuul processions often provoke opposi tion from Catholics as au evidence that geuuine religion cannot be advanced by our efforts. I fancy from this that Mr Long lias fallen into the very error that I alluded to on the 12th, and regards the Orange Society as an evangelical associa tion. Now if by the advance of genuine religion Mr Long means the destruction of tho bitterness that exisU between many Protestants aud Catholics, and the promotion of unity of feeling, I admit, that guard against it as we will, and we do not always guard against it as wo might, we necessarily irritate the adherents of Rome. Necessarily ; for our object is the maintenance of religious free dom, and the defeat of Home's efforts for political and secular power. MrLoug will admit that the evangelist cannot supply all the wauts of the Church. Israel needed a Joshua as well as an Aaron, aud just as surely as those who protected the builders advanced the building of the temple, as the policeman whoso business it is not to preach to thieves but arrest offenders advances genuine morality, so does Orangoistn, iv that it defends, advance genuine iehgion. Mr Long next says that it is a significant fact that the majority of ministers are not Orangemen, la it not a mote signi ficant fact that in. Ireland—the strong held of Popery—seven-eighths of the minis ters, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and Wcs leyan, are staunch Orangemen ? With reference to St. Jiartholomew's Massacre, etc., I can assure Mr Long that I made the barest allusion to it, painting no vivid picture ; but if he can persuade him self that Home did not prompt and applaud that deed as a religious massacre I feel sure that he will write until an antimacassar is made with Cleopatra's Needle, before he will get many of your readers to agree with him ; aud I lancy that had Mr Wesley aud he figured as the victims of Mary's mistaken zeal, the piety of her intentions, exquisite beauty of person, and firm address would have comforted them but little, and they would still have found, burning at the sUke for the sake of ono's religion, a trying aud uncomfortable experience. Mr Long finds fault with his opponents for calling namc3 instead of discussing principles. I ask him to re-con;ider the lat ter portion of his letter and see if he has not fallen into the siatererror of discussing people instead of principles. Including the extract ot the Methodist bishops it is little more than n tribute to the earue3tness of the Catholic laity. AVcll, I admire the earnest ness of these misguided people. I go further and admire the misdirected patriotism of the Fenians. I admire even the dogged bravery of Ned Kelly ; but I none the less detest their errors or the training that directed their energies into the wrong channels, marred and prevented their lives. It is Catholicism, not Roman Catholics that we attack and reiist. Will Mr Long defend Roman Catholicism ? Will he deny that in yeais past she has been preeminently a persecuting power, drunk with the blood of the martyrs of God ? Will ho maintain that she now confesses her fault, abjures her error, and promises that if she again possesses the power she will not restrict our civil and religious liberty ? Can Mr Long get a declaration to this effect signed by the Catholic clergy ot Auckland. Will he deny that Catholicism is the friend of ignorance, the enemy of education. Will ho deny that in ultra- Catholic countries she exalts the Virgin above tho Son of God, and extorts by the vilest impostures the reverence and support of her people. In short that crime, iguor nnce, superstition and poverty flourish under her reign. Then why, in the name of a God of love and liberty, defeud this foul system 1 or seek to make Protestants more tolerant of an evil that has been and is suoh a curse to the world, and that still has vitality to become a greater. Had Mr Long have written to warn us not to identify the ad herents with the system and whilo wo op posed Catholicism to treat Catholics wfth all kindness I would say Amen ; but, I am afraid that his desire for " peace at any price" has betrayed him into a warmer defence, of the Roman Catholic Church than is either judicious or valid. Thanking you, Mr Editor, for tho fail treatment we have received at your hands —I am, &c., Leonard M. Isitt. Pukekohe, July 30th. [This correspondence is now closed.— Ed. E.S.]

OUR LORDS ON EDUCATION.

(To the Editor.)

Sift, —I commend the following to the more serious attention of the people than it is likely to receive as a brie! paragraph in a parliamentary report :—" Mr Chamberlain thought it was not fair that bachelors and childless people should pay taxes for education, for which fees should be imposed." This is a sample of tho ability for which the country pays £210 per session. Mr Chamberlain's remarks are those of n broad intelligent liberal minded Statesman, and must commend them selves to every father and mother in New Zealand.—Yours, &c, Akgus.

PROXY VOTING AND GAS-LIGHTING AT GRAFTON ROAD.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I would not have taken the trouble to reply to the letter of "Subscriber" in reference to the above subject were it not that the cause of "Light" and truth de mands that I should correct several palpable vaia • statements therein. " Subscriber" says : —'■ Ido not hesitate to any that if the opposew of the little job had had any warning of what was coming they could have obtained treble the number of proxies against as was shown for." Now, sir, what is the fact ? The intention to strike a rate for gas lighting was adver tised in each paper for fourteen days before the annual meeting^ and if your "Subscriber" had read the? notice of the annual meeting in the Star, he must have seen the gas notice as well, as they were both in the samp advertisement. As to the latter part of his statement, he must have recently come into the district, or he would have known that more than three-fourths of the ratepayers were anxious to get the dis trict lighted, and that we have striven for over seven years to obtain that which is now considered one of the most ordinary gifts of civilization, "Subscriber" again mistakes when he says the meeting was swamped by proxies. The vote was put to the meeting twice by show of hands, and the motion for " gas lighting " was lost each time by only one vote. It did not require many proxies to swampone vote, Mr Editor. In very fsw instances can it be shown that the uae of proxies was more justifiable than this. A largo majority of the ratepayers in number and value have been willing for many years to tax themselves for the general good,_ but have been annually frustrated by a minimum of small ratepayers who "decline to see any benefit to the district," from what "Subscriber" calls "fancy luxuries," i.e., gas lamps. "Subscriber' in his bitterness of spirit uses the term " entrapped proxy givers." Now, lam in a position to stato that in each instance the giver of the proxy was told tho purpose for which his proxy was to be used, viz., "bringing gas lamps into the dig trict," and further, I am certain that with a little trouble five times the number could have been easily obtained for such a purpose. If "Subscriber" will disclose his identity I shall willingly can vass the district with him fcr voters upon the question, provided that the one who obtains the smallest number of votes erects two lamps in the districts, and maintains them for a year at his own cost. (This, I con aider a very io ir challenge after the state ments, or rather mis-statements, made *by "Subscriber." In reference to the chair man of the Board boiDg a gas director, I may state that he was not more anxious for the introduction of light than th? bulk of the respectable ratepayers in tho district, and such beiner the case, any exercise of influence on his part would have been energy misapplied. "Subscriber," in com mon with one or two other* at the annual meeting, appears to think that a gas director|must bave[sordid motives in desiring the introduction of gas into the district in which hfi resides, and that highway trustees must necessarily be "venal and corrupt" because they form and repair the footpaths opposite theis own residences'. If " Sub scriber!" reallyjwishes to eeej the Graf ton Road district advance, he should co-operate with the trustees in their advocacy of "morelight." No one requires enlighten ing more than your correspondent.—l am, &c.

FIRE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,--Your correspondent "Fair Play" implies that no one would invest his capital in any compauy that was not paying large profits. Now, there are no certainties iv investments of this description, and anyone who_ expects so would be wrong; nor is there any cartaiuty that the proposed reduc tion of rates to something like other placqs would lead to the results predicted by '• Fair Playi"_ I think comparisons with other places is fair enough now, the circumstan ces not being so very widely different. That offices, or rather shareholders, had to submit to less dividends last year is no evidence that the rates were particularly moderate. Insurance companies' shares, equally with other similar investments, suffered from inflation or over-speculation. Insurers are innomanner b'euelittcdalthough speculators or investors may have lost. If persons speculate, they must expect to be content with the up 3 and downs shares of all companies are subject to as regards what narrow profito any man of business would be satisfied with. I much tear just now and for some time past,many would bo very content with little or none, so long as no losses were made. If the business is hazardous, then the less reason to take it as a matter of course that large profits must always ensue. The one instance cited, of a great loss in Chicago, is simply nonsense. With our water supply and the "portion ot our streets and town, any largo conflagration of tho same character is almost impossible, and would be no warranty for heavy rates of premium. Free trade is the best prevcu tiou. —I am, &,c . O. K.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—l was very much pleased to sco a let:oriulastevenings issue on]lirc insurance which, 1 presume, was in auswer to several of mine previously appoariug on the same subject. It is exactly what I have beeu wishing for all along. I was afraid that the opposition were too warily careful and politic to oppose us in the public press by figures and argument in support and justifi cation of their present position and over whelming prices. Your correspondent signs himself " fair Play." lamat a loss to understand tho mau. Fair play, indeed ! Well, let it pass. Iv some pool (coveteous) people's minds fair play and foul play get so mixed up that it is hard for them to tell one from the other and t'other from which, thorc being a great bias and temptation to view all those things against ,their interest as disgustingly foul and false, and all thoso in their interest as beautifully fair. But to the matter at issue " Fair Play" says that wo seem to think the present charges for (ire insurance excessive. If they are not now excessive, I wonder what price then ho would conaidor excessive. If he is one of those poor people 1 have beeu suppotiug, perhaps ho would call nothing excessive -10 per ceut. more thau the present—loo per cent.—even a thousand per cent, more if he could only get it. Would he not consider it excessive if he had to pay 100 per ceut. more for a coat or a hat, a pair of boots, or a loaf of bread in Auckland, than what he could procure the same in Sydney or Melbourne for ? (Cities much the same as Auckland in every way.) Would he not consider it ex cessive if he had to pay 200 per ceut more, 300 per cent more, 400 per cent more, and even 500 per cent more. A loaf of bread for Is Sd and a pair of boots for £5. Yet such price in their cvtravagance are in keeping with rates of tiro insur ance, charged iv Auckland, and contrasted and compared with those of Sydney and Melbourne. Your correspon dent does not seem to favour compaiisons between the prices of premiums charged in Sydney and Melbourne, and those demanded and extorted in Auckland. And, why not? la there such a wide and marked difference between a brick aud slate house iv either of those cities and one in Auckland ? Or, again, what could excel our splendid water supply, or supersede the vigilance, activity, promptness, and effectiveness of our city Fire Brigades. Let him look all rouud the city aud show me where a single house (1 might almost sa\) has beeu burnt down quite to tho eround as used to be done iv the past. Or where are the whole blocks of buildings that used to go before we had our maguificent water supply. There is comparatively very small risk of fire now iv Auckland, so small that there is almost a temptation torcmainuninsured altogether. Your correspondent also gOC3 on to show that several of the Companies paid no dividend at all last year (the time of the competition aud before the present Union was formed) thereby by arguing that the prices must have been very low; but 1 beg to submit that the failure of these Com panies, though immediately owing to tho low prices and capitation, was fundamen tally and really caused by a multitude of things quite within themselves a most expensive and extravagant administration— as liberal commissions and discounts, heavy rents of premises, and, beyond all, enor mous salaries to officials, and very little business. If I remember, I think a friend aud I counted about sixtcen/lifferent offices, great and small, down about Queen-street, where I thjnk three or four would have been sufficient, so that I think it may easily be seen that low dividends to share holders need not necessarily argue or show 3inall premiums to insurers. And now they arc into a compact, and we have to support them all out of our premiums, and so enable them to pay their shareholders respectable dividends—more anon.—l am, &c,

Killed by his Own Mother!

MURDERED IN AUSTRIA AFTER MAKING A

FORTUNE IN AMERICA,

The "Neve Freie Press" ot Vienna, re lates the story of a crime which occurred a few duya ago in a. village near the Aus trian capttal. Some fifteen years ago a young Austrian left home to seek his fortune in America. He left a large family of younger brothers and sisters to be reared by his mother, an energetic woman who kept a small country hotel. The young man arrived in America almost penniless. He went West and after fifteen years of work in the mines was worth. §80,000. As he did not know how to read and write, he did not correspond with his family, and the latter be lieved him dead. About two months ago he determined to return to his country and share his wealth with his family. He came to New York aud converted his gold into drafts upon the chief banking houses of Vienna. Some six weeks siuce he sailed from this city, enjoying, in anticipation, the surprise his anival would cause his folk at home. He reached Vienna without accident, hadjhis drafts cashed, and left at onco for his native village. As was natural, after an absence of fifteen years, which he had spent ia the mines of California, no one rec ognised him. He finally made himself known, and spread before his two brothers the handsome roll of bills of which he wan the owner, and which he announced he would share with them and their mother. The latter had now removed to a village about a hundred miles away, where she kept an inn. After a couple of days of revel with his brothers the traveller resolved to visit his mother incognito. It was arranged that he should not reveal his identity until his brothers should join him. The Austro-American made his appear ance at his mother's hotel. When he saw the old woman ho could scarcely forbear dis covering himself to her. But he managed to conceal his relationship, of which of course the woman was in total ignorance. The pair had various long talks during the day. When night came, before retitiug, he called her to the room that had been assigned to him, stating that he had an important secret to communicate to her. Then he told that he had in his possession a large sura of money, and be»ged her to take charge of it, as he deemed it impru dent to keep it in his room; particularly as the latter could not be locked. The woman hesitated a moment, saying that she had no place in the house where the money would be perfectly safe ; but she finally consented to receive it. When the stranger counted over 300,000 florius in bank notes, a sum such as she had never dreamed of, ahc again declined to assume the responsibility. But as he insisted she at last took the' money and disappeared. What passed within the brain of that wretched woman daring the night is more readily im agined than described. Upon reach ing her bedroom she hid the treasure under her mattrass. But the temptation to look at the enormous roll of bills was too strong for her, and she spread the bills out on a table. The sight of the money so ex cited her that she became mad, and, jump iug from her seat, she took a razor from her bureau drawer, and, stealing up to the. room where her son was fast asleep, cut his throat from ear to car, killing him almost instantly. She then put the razor in her son's hand so as to make it look as though he had committed suicide. Next morning her sons arrived and inquired for the stranger. She sent them up to hit room, saying that he had not yet come to break fast.

They found him dead.and yells of despair filled the house. The mother, like all the other persons in the house, went upstairs, feigning to be utterly igiiorant of the cause of the disturbance. Shu then karaed that the murdered,man was her son. The effect that the startling intelligence had upon her mind need not be told,

"My son?" sha exclaimed. "Kill me, my children ! kill mo 1 It was I who inur dei-ed him !"

The womau is now in the Vienna Lunatic Asylum, aud no hope is entertained of her recovery^ Her surviving sons, it is said, are despondent abuut tho death of their brother.

AUCKLAND DISTRICT OF ODD FELLOWS.—ANNUAL MEETING.

The animal meeting of the delegates of the various Oddfellows' lodges (Manchester Unity) in the Auckland district, took place yesterday evening in the Cook-street Hall. Representatives of the Coronlandel, Thames, and Waikato, as well as of the city and suburban lodges, were present) Mr Owen Mahon, Prov, Grand Master, presided, while the Deputy Prov. Grand Master's chair was filled by Mr W. G. Allen. Mr 11. J. Smith, corresponding secretary, stated that returns read showed that the lodges had expended £1046 14s 4d during the year in sick gifts, and iv funerals £247. The gain in the fuuds during the year amounted to £1857 14s sd. As sbme of the lodges had not forwarded their returns in time, he was unable to tell the exact number of members at present on the roll, but the returns showed 1170 members. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows : Prov. G. M., Wi G. Allen ; Deputy Provincial G. M., Mr Thos. McConnell; Prov. Corres ponding Secretary, Mr H. J. Smith ; Grand Warden, Mr E. Mills. The brethren sub sequently adjourned to the United Service Hotel, where a banquet had been prepared for them. Mr O. Mahon, P.P.G.M., assumed the chair, supported on the right by the newly-elected P.G.M., and on the left by the Deputy P.G.M. The following list of toasts was gone through :-" The Qucun aud Uoyal Family," and "Ilia Ex cellency tho Governor," proposed by tho Chairman ; " Tho Army, Navy, aud Voluu tecrs," proposed by P.P, G.M. Leahy, and responded to by N.G. Laugsford (Army), aud P. I', ot. M. Mahon (Vols.); " The Mayor and Corporation," proposed by the sub-vice chairman (Mr 11. G. Smith),and responded to by Councillor Fleming; "Tho Manchester Unity aud Board of Directors," proposed by P.P. U. M. Cole and rcspouded to by P.G's. Sims and Akers ; "The Auckland District,''proposed by P.P.G.M. Fleming, and responded to by Prov. G.M. Allen, D.P.GM. McConnell, P. Cor. Secretary Smith, P.G.W. Mills, and P.O.

COROMANDEL STEAMBOAT COM PANY.

The adjourned meetiug of the shareholders of the Coromnndel Steamboat Company was held in the goods shed on Tuesday evening, tlic 27tli insfc., Mr Chailes Mills in the chair. The Chairman read the notice con venitig the meeting, also a motion by Mr Loddcr, of Auckland, viz., that No 3 of the Company's rules be expunged. At the re quest of a shareholder the Chairman read the rule, as follows:—"No shareholder shall hold more than two hundred and fifty shares iv this Company except Mr James Holmes, or the builder of the first steamboat or steamship for this Company." The Chairman said he hoped this would be car ried, as it would give munied men au oppor tunity of proving their confidence iv the Company. The first business to consider, however, was whether the 1460 unallotted shares should be ollered to shareholders at 10d each. —Mr Brenner proposed, and Mr Stranghan, seconded, " That the unallotted shares be not sold at less than par, n% such sale would depreciate the value of the Com pany's property by one-half."—Mr Glover moved as au amendment, and Mr Darling seconded, " Tint the shares be sold in terms of the advertisement," as by realising on them the amount of the mortgage would be reduced, and the Company could raise a fresh loan at a smaller rate of interest, and, moreover, do away with the item foi insurance altogether, as capitalists would be quite willing to advance money on the security of the boat without the additional security of insurance. The amendment and motion were put to the meeting, when ten hands wore held up for the amendment and six for tho motion. Ihe chairman declared the amendment carried—Mr Brem nor demanded a poll which the chairman positively declined to allow, and read in support of his ruling, No. 43 of the Com pany's rules as follows :—" At any general meeting, unless a poll is demanded by live shareholders, a declaration by the chairman, that a resolution has been carried, and an entry to that effect in the Book of proceed ings of the Company shall be sufficient evi dence of the fact without proof ot the num ber or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution."—Mr Bremner challenged the chairman to put the question to the meeting, but this he de clined to do.—A shareholder pointed out that the rule read did not make it impera tive that a poll should be demanded liy live shareholder* in person, and suggested that Mr Bremner might, put in the required num ber of proxies.—This suggestion was also rejected by the chairman.—A local share holder, who seemed anxious to score a vic tory, here moved a, vote of thanks to the chairman, and the meeting dispersed with out considering the question of rulo 3.

A PREACHER'S TRICK.

This minister had been invited to preach as a candidate in a. little rural church in Northern Pennsylvania, where the mem bers', although ouly on a par wiih most distant churches, liked to flatter themselves that they were " pretty well posted." Be fore starting for the place, the minister met an old clerical friend, who had had some experience in the same neighbourhood, and who advised him to "give them some Latin and Greek; it will tickle their vanity, and they'll set you down for a very smart man." There was a little diificulty in the way of the minister's giving his hearers a dose of Latin and Greek, for he knew no more of either language than the people he was to preach to. But he was equal to the emergency. He was a native of Wales, and spoke Welsh as well as he did English, though these two were the only languages he knew anything about. When he had got nicely into the sermon, be introduced a little passage of Scripture, and said : " This passage, brethren, has been slightly altered inlthe translation. It is only in the original Hebrew that you can grasp its full meaning. I will read to you in Hebrew, so that you may comprehend it more exactly ;" and he gave them the passage in very good Welsh. The old deacons looked attach other, and nodded approval, as though they would say :'* That's tho stuff; that's the kind of thing we want." Presently the minister, who saw by the faces of his hearers that lie had made a hit, came upon another Scripture passage that could not be correctly rendered in English. "This passage," said he, "has to be read in the original to be appreciated. In all languages there ia none I know of in which the meaning can be so well expressed as in Greek," and again he gave them a long Welsh sentence. Again the deacons nodded approvingly, and before long the minister found it necessary to read a verse in Latin, "so his hearers might understand it thoroughly," and gave them a little more Welsh.

Everything was going along smoothly, and the minister, as he approached the end of his sermon, thought he would give them just one more taste of the dead languages, " I am about to read you," said he, " another passage on this subject. But it is another of those passages that have been altered in the translation, and I will read it to you in the Chaldaic, in which it was written." He was just about to give them a little more Welsh, wheD, casting his eye over the congregation, he saw seated near the door a jolly looking man, who was holding his sides tight to keep from burst ing with laughter. The minister took ia the situation in an instant. Here was a man in the church who understood Welsh, and who was laughing at the trick that had been played upon the_ congregation. But not a feature ia the minister's face changed. Fixing his eyes straight upon the laughing man, just as the congregation thought he was about to give them the Chaldaic ver sion, he said, agaiu in We'sh : " For God's cake, my friend, don't say a word about this, till I have a chance to talk with you." Tho congregation went home, satisfied that they had listened to one of tho most learned of sermons; the laughing man never told the story, and the minister wa-i soon settled over the church, the people believing that a clergyman who could read the Scrip tures in five languages was just the man for them.—"N.Y. Times."

The form of the ontertaiu nient is highly agreeable, and the solids of Mr and Mrs Hart—given as they are ill appropriate costume and sung with taste— cannot fail to please. The most successful and attractive personations of the lady were her "Esmcralda" (the gipsy heroine of Victor Hugo's " Notre Dame "), and hur fashionablo belle with "the light green para sol." Mr Hart appeared to great advantage us the leader of the Gorman band, as the aristocratic exquisite, and as the Yorkshire clodhopper. A change of programme is announced for to-night, and as it is the close of the. season tlio lovers of light and attractive entertainment should take the opportunity to see the Harts.
