SCOTIA PEDSSTUIAN FEAT.

HE announcement tliat a number of local Athletes would try their powers ot pedes trianism over the measured mile, and that Young Scott would immediately afterwards start upon his arduous task of walking 112 miles within the subsequent 24 hours had the effect of drawiug a large audience to the Theatre Royal last night. The stage had been marked oft' iuto a circle of 55 yards, thus rendering 32 laps necessary to complete the mile, bur. the sharp corners and one or two obstructive posts proved somewhat of a liiiidrauce to the pedestrians. There were eight entries for the mile han dicap, but only seven competed, the scratch man (John Heodry) not putting iv aa ap pearance. Each man walked by himself and another started as soon as his predeces sor had iinisled. The result was as fol lows :— A. Hendry, 51yds, 7mins 1 T Houston, 15yds, 7mins 4'Jsccs .... 2 J Hill, 50yo\ 7niins 4*3secs 3 Thos Fernaidcz, 60yds 7mms 4&sccs ... i. James Hcocry, SOyds, SroinsP4secs .... 5 W Hancocl, 00yds, Sunns 40"sees ... 6 T 'Willis, Syds,Sunns 40secs ... ... 7 The judj? (Mr M. Gallagher) disqualified A. Hendryfor unfair walking, and Houston co'nsequcnly takes the prize. The disap pointed aldefc came beforo the audience and intinitad his willingaesa to walk any man in i.uckland, barring young Scctt, for £50 a sic, in Shrec weeks timo Mr RE. Ellis's admirable handicapping Was thi subject of very favourable com ment. Mr Austin acted as time-keeper. An ipermission of ten minutes ensued. Who the curtain was again raised Mr Love brietf introduced young Scott to his :uidi euceaud the signal for the start was then givo*. He went away at a steady, uioerate puco, closely followed by Houston, mi' the contrast between tbe action of tne tw was at once evident. Houston swung !_.' arms heavily from thigh to shoulder, ;,d walked with, the upper part of the body

lelined forward, while .Scott, keepip- bis inns well in advance Of his chest, and allowing them but slight play, maintained also au erect posture. Thoie was no super fluous exertion" perceptible, no abatement of pace, no irregularity of step, and no show. He walked well within himself, ond with the consciousness of one who is facing a trying performance. A man seated in front of a stand kept a record of the laps by moving beads from one side to the other of the enclosed wiro upon which they were strung, while at the cud of each mile a bell was rung. Scott was dressed in the usual guernsey, tunics, nnd hose, and ho wore a pair of thick soled lace up boots reaching wrll up on the calf and loose upon (be instep. At the completion of two miles Houston dropped out, andanotheraniateurtookhis place,and soon, until they bad all bad a turn. The Victoria Band, undertheleadersbipof Mr MeComish, discoursed some lino music at intervals, while the audience gave vent to their ap plause from time to timj. From 10 o'clock until midnight tbe spectators thinned out gradually until only a few remained. Soma of these, however, wee piesent through "the wee sma' hours," though it must be confessed that their interest in the match had flagged considerably by that time. The judge (Mr Gallagher) gallantly stuck to his post till the morning. At 3.30 o'clock the young pedestrian enjoyed a respite of three minutes duration, and at 8.30 o'clock he rested for twenty minutes. Scott kept good average time all the night sometimes approaching six miles aa hour and never going at less than 4J, but at noon he seemed to be slackening off to four miles. He was in good form, freo from drowsi ness, and maintained i conlident counten ance. Up to 11.'20 o'clook to-day more than 1050 persons had paid for admission. We append a tabic (-bowing the number of miles walked at the end of each hour from the starling time, viz. :— Hrs. Mis. ■ 10.30 ... G 11.30 ... 11*? 12.30 ... l"i 130 ... 23. 2.30 ... 28 3.30 ... 33 4.30 ... 3SJ 5 30 ... 44 6.30 ... 40 7.30 ... 54 5.30 ... 5!) 9.30 ... 64 10 30 ... CS 11.30 ... 72. 12.30 ... 7C| 130 .. 71).*. Ho had completed 'JO mile?, exactly at 3.50 A few particulars about young Scott's career may prove acceptable to our sporting readers, and we therefore prercnt what we have gleaned concerning him. He is tho son of a boot-maker of Dunedin, of which city he is a nafive, and bis age is just 16 years and 5 months. At the age ot 12 he made his first public essay at competitive walicing, when he contested with seven other pedes trians a two-mile match at the annual Cale donian Sports. Ho finished up third, and his plucky performance so pleased the spectators that n ' subscription was raised for him upon the ground. Austin, tbe trainer, was present and po favourably was lie impressed with tbe lad's capabilities, that he resolved to take him under bis own care. This ho did, and the result is, that tho youth's powers of endurance surpass those of any opponent aguinst whom he has been backed. He beat Edwards in a seven-mile contest, has triumphed over numerous challenges, and has carried off quite an assortment of honours. Having won the Champion Belt of New Zealand, offered for competition by the Caledonian Society of Otago, he is now fulfilling tbo condition imposed upon him by tbat body, namely, to give an exhibition of his powers in the four princi pal cities of the colony before proceeding to Syduey to take part in the Intercolonial Walking Match. The trainer is conlident of his protege's success against all comers.

A MODERN ELIJAH.

(To the Editor.)

Sm, —In connection with the Anglo-Israel theory, which appears to be making some headway in and around Auckland, I venture to state the following facts which not long since came within my own observation. Let it be distinctly understood that I do not commit myself to either belief in, or rejec tion of, the theory in question, principally because 1 have not the slightest desire to enter into a discussion, which, while it will lead to no satisfactory termination, will almost infallibly prove a fruitful source ot acrimony and ill-feeling In a town in the South of England, a year or two ago, certain lecturers tried their best to show that the British Nation was identical with the ten lost Jewish Tribes, aud their efforts were rewarded by the conversion.of not a few to their belief. The converts were drawn fer the most part from the half-educated portion of the community, who, as is well known, arc quite unequal to the task of weighing evidence; have insufficient control over their emotions, and are dazzled with innovations. Among those who adopted the belief was a young artist, nnd the conviction of his Hebrew origin took such a forcible hold on his mind teat he attempted to keep as many enact ments of the Mosaic law as he could, ab staining from various kinds of food, observ ing the seventh day as the Sabbath, etc. In this course he continued for somo time, causing his mother and friends much annoy ance and anxiety. At length he began to " lecture " on the subject which exercised so great an influence on bis life, in spite of the fact that he had but few of the qualifi cations requisite for the office. He cer tainly had acquired a remarkable familiarity with the prophetical writings of the Old Testament, though whether hh unhesitat ing, seemingly authoritative interpretations were correct) is fairly open to question. Eventually the young man, to the surprise and alarm of his relation.", appeared iv a new character-. Not content with citing and applying the predictions and denunciations of others, he turned prophet himself IHe clad himself from head to foot in sheepskin raiment, and paraded the streets with a board, on which was painted—"l am the Prophet Elijah, see Malachi IV., 5 nnd 6." The texts referred to read— " Behold, I will scud you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." I need not stop and show how the placard was in direct contradiction to a statement of Jesus Christ Himself. The native town of the " Drophet" was not the only place which had the bene fit of Ilia ministrations ami " lectures," for he travelled over a wide area iv the South of England, at one time .living in a cave, though the weal her was exceptionally severe! The last time I heard of him, he had neither been confined in a lunatic asylum, nor had he resumed a rational mode of life. There is no reason whatever to believe that he was an unprincipled deceiver, for he gained besides an empty notoriety no advantage, pecuniary or otherwise. In fact he was subjected to absolute privations, and fre quent persecutions, The most rational ex

planation of his strange behaviour is that he was self-deceived, being at the same time honest and well-intentioned. In times of religious excitement, or on the introduction of some sami mysterious innovation, such cases are by no means uncommon. As this is a matter of pretty general observation I merely allude to tbo fact that l:'at the time of the ' disrup tion ' of the Scotish Church an unusually large number of patients were admitted into the various asylums of Scotland, labouring undor delusions connected with religion,-' and that during the year 3551 "a_ sort of 'mesmeric mania' was prevalent in_ Edin burgh." Oliier cases will be found iv Dr. Carpenter's " Mental Physiology," chapter xviii, where explanations, etc., are given in a scientific though perfectly plain style. I will venture to predict that if the Anglo- Israel theory gains a hold oa certain classes in Auckland, there will be eases—not so severe perhaps as the one i have been des cribing—of delusion approaching mania, whicii not unlikely will demand medical art lo deal with.—l am, &c, J.

Anne Vesey, remanded from yesterday o«. a charge of heating Thomas Ford with he: clenched fists, again appeared in answer to the charge. Thomas Ford deposed that be went out at midnight. Mrs Vesey was far advanced iv drink. She followed' him, blowed him up, struck violently at his bead, and his hat fell off. Lost a considerable amount of hair. Had something to drink, but remembered feeling a kind of convul sive shock. Found himself being bumped agaiust the Christian's Association. Had not much hair on bis head, but had less now. Had not a clear recollection of what did take place. Mrs Vesey was buzzing about his cars. Heard her voice but could not distinguish her words. Mrs Vesey having cross-examined Mr Ford at great length', addressed the court in vindication of her character. The police had a " down " upon her. Sergeant Clarke was her bitter enemy - r had told her that he would uot rest until he had got her six months.

Sub-Inspector Pardy said this was untrue. Sergeant Clarke had acted towards her in the kindest maimer, aud received nothing but abuse.

Here Mrs Vcscy said she had not even received a cup of cold water in the lock up, and no wonder sbe fainted.

Pined 5s aud costs. SPOONING,

John Wilson was charged with stealing a silver spoon, value 12s, on the 3rd inst., the properly of a lady unknown.

Matthew Cullcn, hotelkeeper in One hunga. stated that prisoner came to his hotel last night at 10 o'clock aud wanted think. Seoiug that bo was drunk, and b?ing past, the time, he refuscel the man, aud directed him the beat way to the wharf. After closing the house, and when inside, he was alarmed by a sudden smash, aud ou going to look saw tho broken pauc. Had no doubt of tbo prisoner's guilt, as no other person was near. Sergeant Greene deposed to prisoner's arrest.

JOHN JAMES IIEOCK.

This man having been sull'ering from delirium tremens, was chargcel with drunkenness.

Emeu 10s and costs,

ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES

Laurence if. Jilliug?, on remand, sur rendered his bail, and appeared in answer to two charges of obtaining money of Diiiis Lynch, by means of false pretences. Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted the prosecution, and Mr S. Hesketh appeared in defence.

Denis Lynch, hotel-keeper, of Darga ville, knew prisoner, who had beeu staying at his hotel during tho races. On the Sth March, prisoner presented a cheque for £10, which he cashed. Handed the money from the bar. (Cheque produced.) He wrote the cheque iv the house. Took the form out of his pocket. He gave him notes. He paid it into his account at the bank at Dargavillc. The cheque was returned as valueless, there being no funds to meet it.

To Mr Hesketh : Prisoner simply asked if I would cash a £10 cheque for him. I said "yes," and did it. That is about all that passed. Would not have cashed it in the event of the cheque being dishonored, but eventually paid. James Dalgleish, assistant ledger-keeper at tho Colonial Bank, deposed to receiving the cheque for £10, ahd subsequently others, which were dishonored. The accused had an account at the bank, but it was closed ou the sth December.

To Mr HesKeth : Had been in his position several years. Kuew that accused at one time had as much as £200. He kuew another was sent to Dargavillc, respecting the cheques, intimating that Jillings' account was closed. If money had been paid in to Mr Jillings credit, had he left a balance, the cheques might have been met. Detective leiPey, stationed in Auckland, arrested the prisoner ou the 20th ult., on on this and another charge. He acknow ledged that he had given two cneques to Mr Lynch, one for £10, and the other for £11, but he could get money to settle the amount. The second charge was of a similar char acter, viz., obtaining £11 by means of a false cheque from Dennis Lynch, on the 11th inst.

'■ he evidence was the same as in the

first case,

Mr S. Hesketh said he had only been in structed to appear this morning, and he hoped the Court would grant an adjourn ment until Monday. Sub-Inspector Pardy objected, as the witnesses could not be present on Monday. The accused had been at liberty on bail, and had every opportunity of getting all possible evidence in his defence. His Worship said, with all due deference to Mr Hcskcth, he considered that prisoner had ample opportunities, aud bad appar ently thrown them away. He could uot think of putting the country to extra expense in bringing witnesses from Dargavillc. He could not reasonably grant au adjournment. The depositions were then read over to the accused, who was fully committed for trial.

The amount in the latter case was re duced to £4 15s.

Mr Hesketh applied for bail

The same bail was granted, tire accused in £100, and tno sureties in £50 each, viz., Messrs Stevenson and Lendrum.

MORE LIGHT,

William Adams, appeared in answer to a breach of the by-law, by erecting a hoard ing in Fort-street, and not keeping the same properly lighted, ou tho night of tbe 27th March.

In this case the summons had nit been served.

This was all the business,

He had au auburn-haired jrirl, aud pro mised to take her out riding. She met him at the door when be drove up, and he ex claimed : " Hello ready ?" She misunder stood him, and they dou't speak now.

V_ry Busy.—Some one asked a lad how it was ho was so short of his age. He replied, " Father keeps mo so busy, I ain't time to grow."

An Irishman tells of a fight in which there was only one whole nose left in the crowd, and that belonged to the tea-kettle.

Colonial Finance.

[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON, Friday

It is not propable that any definite infor mation will bo available as to the results of the financial year which ended on Wednes day, 31st ultimo, for a week or ten days. All appearances are in favour of my antici pations being verilied, that the deficit will be a.bout a million, perhaps a little under '- "i"r than over. I liud that the Colonial **_ r ,'Urcr bus only beon obliged to use jA^ft.OCO of the £250,000 deficiency bills tf&djf'Li he obtained power, by Order-in- CJuncil, to issue if necessary. As it is practically certain that the revenue will not reach by some £300,000, and the Treasurer's estimate, tbe deficiency for the uiue months is estimated at about £800,C00, and this would have been increased to £1,100,000 but for the reductions iv the expeuditure involving the additional £50,000 deficiency bills. As, however, this has not been needed, and even £50,000 of the extra bills (above the £800,000 authorized by Parli ament) not used, it follows that the deficiency cannot bo quite one million, aud therefore that somewhere about £100,000 must have been saved iv expenditure by the present Government since they came iuto ollico. It is evident, however, that next year £300,000 additional will have to bo provided for by taxation, over and above the property tax of lil iv ihe pound and the increased Customs duties, unless matters greatly improve and the expenditure be much further reduced.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

There is a peculiarity iv the Rules aud Regulations of tbo Civil Seivico of New Zealand of which few people are aware. And it is this : If at any time an ollicial embezzles monies which pass through his haudo, the Government at ouco deducts pro rata from all other Civil Servants through out the colony as much coin from (heir monthly salary as will make up the defi ciency. The last case in point occurred a tew days ago when a Postmaster somewhcic in Otago stole something under £500. As soon as the delicit was discovered, tho Audit ollico in Wellington carved out from all olliei_l salaries' for the ensuing months in New Zealand, a certain sum, proportionate to the salaries received, and thus the Government was repaid for its loss in tho twinkling of an eye. Only officials who handle public monies are submitted to this neat little process of equation. Of course the colonial rate payer is the gainer but can il; he suid that tho system is a fair oue'? It was intro duced by our great steam financier .Sir Julius Vogel who got an Act passed in 1870 called "The Government Officers' Guarantee Act," which was properly nick named at tlie time 1" The Government Officers' Self Detective Act," inasmuch as when bringing the Bill before Parliament., Sir Julius suid that its principal merit was that it would cause every ollicial to watch his neighbour and see that he did not '• prig" any money, concerned as ho would natur ally be when leaving to make good part of any deficiency. In practice this beautiful theory of Sir Julius has proved entirely useless. No wonder that the Civil .Service find it a grievance. Fancy the Collector of Customs in Auckland having to " bleed" to the tune of a pound sterling or two, because the Registrar of Deeds in .Stewart's Island made away with the fees of his department.

A NEW SENSATION.

A ratiiek Hue drawn yonnK man in sin Ulster razed down to a walking coat drifted Into the canotum tho orher morning nnd inquired lor th s Managing ICditor. That official laid down his shears and iisl'.ed tho *trii'.)|.;or Ins buisne.-s.

The intruder looked carefully around closed the door, and laying a travel stained forefinger be t-i-c a nose »hat lent— i-.-j William liluclc, tho novelist, woQlduay—a bit of vivid color to tho landscape, he whlupcrcd. " Are we quite alono. The editor certified that such was tho case, when the mysterious party continued : lieoanse I've got a piece of news to givo you lhatll just. paralyze thi? community whan i'.'s printed. Scandal in high lit'o, you know." " ludeo.i." suid the editor, much cxoltod : uro you sure that the othir piper* haven't not it I" " Not onn of'em That's just the point.

. " Just wait till I sharpen this vjc_c'il," taid tho journalist, eagerly; " row, then, go ahead. You Raid scaudal 1 think?'

" Exactly. Elopement, divorce, suicide of tho outraurcd husband—tor all 1 know. Wholo busi ness will wind up with a murder, like as not, and the bearer of great tidings filled tho editor's pipe and lit a match. • " Now, theo, for tho lady's name," 3aid tho other impatiootly. "Mrs Mary uin McFinley." " McFinley I— never-heard of h;r-though you said first circles." " Ko I did—don't forgot wore in Frisco," said tho'bin man with a wink. '■ Old McFinley's, the big mine owner, you know. '' Hum—ah !" said tho editor, dubiously, " and the. other party V " Myself," replied tho thin man ; " that's just tho cream of tho wholo thing—don't you seo— that's tha joke," nnd bo laughed very heartily, inde»d. as ho stowed away au eraser. _ " Oh !" it is— is it I" sad tho ediio". '" Precisely : you see I'm a book ugent.but you can work me in as the dashing adventurer from Australia or somewhere.

But ho never finished tho negotiation, and when tho ollico boy swept up that evening the agent was found behind tho wnsto baskot with tho ollico scissors deep in his heart.

Bridget (to caller) :jg" Will ye kapc still a minnit while I look at ye? No, missis hain't to home. She told me, if a woman come with a wart on the md ay a red nose to say she wasn't home ; an' titers no mis takin' that wart."

A very weak tenor in Lublin singing feebly caused one of the gods to shou^ to an acquaintance across the gallery, " Corncy, what noise is that?" " Bedad," said Cor uey, "I believe it's the gas whistlin'in the pipe."

Somebody who appears to know how fashionable schools are managed says : " To educate young ladies ia to let them know all about the ogies, the omenies, the ides, the tics, and the mistics ; but nothing about the ings, such as sewing, darning washing, baking, and making pudding."

Although the old adage—"murder will out"—has proved curiously correct in many instances, we doubt, among them all, that it is possible to find a more curious instance than the following case of stolen goods find iog their lawful owner, for the authenticity of which we can vouch, and which happened in Nelson. Fourteen years ago a lady was presented by another lady with a brooch of curious workmanship, which had been made in India ; but to her great annoyance, it was stolen from her a few hours after she had received it. Suspicions were enter tained against a servant in the house, but, as there was no positive proof, the brooch was given up for lost, aud forgotten from that day to this. The donor of the brooch has been lately staying at a friend's in the country. Tho gentleman of the house, who is fond of doing little mechanical jobs in his leisure time, received the other day apackage containing some brooches aud other trilles to be mended. Among the brooches the visitor recognised at once one which had been in her possession years ago, and about which there could be no mistake because of its Indian workmanship, as it had been made iv India and after her own design. She went and showed it to the lady to whom she had given it, who immediately recognised it as the brooch she had received. She stated how it had been stolen by the servant, who left her place shortly afterwards and married and settled down not tar from where she had been at service. It seems she had sent it to be mended, wot dreaming that any one would recognise it after such a lapse or time.
