COSTS IN THE R.M. COURT.

(To the Editor;; ! SIR,—I beg leave through the mediuhi of i your excellent journal to point out an abuse j in our District Court proceedings, relative to the charges made upou defendants, and the conduct of Mr Lod^e, the Clerk. To put the matter clearly, we will suppose that A. sues out, through his Attorney, a sum mons against B. to-day, and thnt next day after service B. calU with the Clerk, Mr | Lodge, and tenders to that functionary the amount of the claina, together with 4s costs of summons. Has the Clerk (who, by-the way, Can scarcely speak civilly) the power to refuse to nt'eept what defendant offers to pay into Court, unless accompanied with 6s, half the cost of plaintiff's attor/Jey 7 I sub mit it is an imposition, as from the isstte of the summons no expenses bad been incurred. Further, that Mr Lodge, in refusing any | thing which a defendant may offer to pay into Court, arrogates to himself the func tions of presiding magistrate, whose duty it is to decide on both amount due, and costs also. I repeat that Mr Lodge, in doing so on a recent occasion, lian acted illegally, and lias stepped quite beyond lite jurisdiction. Mr Lodge, who appears io get too big for his boots, has no right, in my opin ion, to act as he has been do'ng in those matterp. Would you, Mr Editor, be kind enough to say whether the clerk has acted legally, and would you answer the following questions? (1) la a defendant liable for costs, half costs, or quarter costs, of plaintiff's attor '■ ney, where there has been no hearingof the i case, and no expenses incurred beyond the 1 simple summons? (2) Has Mr Lodge | power to refuse whatever amount a defen dant may deem right to pay into Court in satisfaction of a claim ? (Lastly) Is it the duty of a Clerk to snub a suitor and not to address him in a civil , gentlemanly way on legal matters, when ', plenty of men out of employment could be ; fouud to perform Mr Lodge's duties without , violating good breeding ? By returning an 1 answer before I represent his conduct in the 1 propcrquarter, you will oblige. —Youcs, &c, Critic. December 2nd, 1880.

OUR YOUNG MEN.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—Whilst admitting the truthfulness oi some of the remarks on the troubles of young men, and fully believing that such so-called homes can be found in Auckland as in every other land, yet I cannot but thiuk that there has been too much said on the dark side of the picture, and am bold to ailirm that not a few comfortable homes can be found where all that is so much desired for the comfort and quiet of our young men can be easily procured—kindly hearts to evince and speak the kindly word—willing aud well able bands to make the lodgers feel that they are in homes not second iv comfort to the early home of childhood. Iv these colonies the first thing a young man has to do is to use bis own judgment-a virtno sadly lacking in some and to model his preliminary home according to the means at bis disposal. If in commen cinq the battle of life he has to limit his expenses to the lowest possible extremity, my advice to all such would be " chum " together and go in for a " Bachelors' Hall," aud until patient, persevering effort lands you in more rosy beds, be content to cook your own meais and keep your own fireside ' cheerful. I could point to not a few who now possess comfortable homes of their own who look with uo smal! 'e^ree of interest on bygone hapny seasons t,»ent iv such homes- With regard to the company of young men this has ever been and ever will be, a most difficult matter to grapple with. Homes of the best type may be established; but if, sir, we leave the parental roof without fixed principles, bent on seeing life, aud delving into all its varied surroundings, the best homes will prove no barrier to win from paths ot folly. With out being toa personal, is it not a fact th at many a young man in Auckland to-day has all the comforts of a happy home at his disposal, yet in ihe midnight hour is found at the billiard table, aud other questionable places of amusement ? As a young man myself, I would say to my brother compan ions, do as I and many others have done in times past—act on the system of economy best suited tn yoni pocket, ever bearing in mind the fact that to prove the ideal of " Sue* cess in life," we mutt make up our minds tc deny ourselves, and if needs be for a time, scrub our own floor, and stitch on the buttons on our garments, and last, but not least, carrying as sacred the wise counsels given by earth's best friends. Thus following a vir tuous path, life will prove a blessing, and it may be ours to leave " footprints on the sands of time " for others to look at when we shall have passed away.—l am, &c, Constant Kbadeb.

SHOWING HOW MRS GRADY'S COW WAS CURED OF PLEURO.

THE incident I am about to relate took place at the time pleuro-pneumonia was at its highest scare. When Mr Fautbam and his colleagues waged war at Waikato, and ■when Mr Joseph May and other learned men sat in judgment at the Auckland end of the disease, each person who kept catth was anxious lest pleuro ishould develop in hio particular herd, and Mrs Grady, who kept a solitary mi'.ch cow, dreaded lest pleuro should pay a dreaded visit to her humble shed, and so closely watched the animal. The Grady family were homeo pathically inclined, and were fortunate enough to secure the services of a medico, who favoured the principles of Hahuemann. This medical practition bad a large heart, and to judge by. the size of his hat he like wise bad a large head. He was pbilautb.ro pically disposed, and on hearing of the dis tress felt by farmers who had lost cattle through the disease of pleuro-pneumonia, be laid Ms big hat on the table and set bis mighty intellect in motion to discover this —as yet undiscovered—cure for the com-; plaint. He fondly thought that in Homeo pathy it could be found. He bogged that Mr Grady would, as a great favour, inform him of the first outbreak of the disease in her cow, and allow'him to prescribe for the animal A satisfactory arrangement was made of no cure no pay. As time passed and alarming reports appeared in the papers as ;to the spread of the disease the anxious glances of the Grady family were, morning, noon, and night, cast at the cow. At last the hour of tribulation arrived. It was on' a bleak wintry night that terror was struck into tbe ; house of Grady by the sound of the cow. coughing. Yes, alas ! The cow had actually been heard to cough. Mrs Grady wept. The little Grady's wept (There was no Mr Grady "lott to weep.) Early on the morrow, the doctor was sent for. The hour of bis triumph had arrived, and he rode up,in the greatest haste. The perspiration streamed down his face. His big hat had worked gradually back, till the rim rested on; his shoulders, displaying to advantage his studious cast of countenance. On dismounting, the doctor fairly trembled .with excitement. Mrs Grady, after explaining the nature of the cow's symptoms, led the suppressor of pleuro-pneumonia in the : direction of the animal, the juvenile Gladys- forming'a melancholy procession in the rear, .troubled probably with visions.of a dead cow, and thoughts of a scarcity of milk. The doctor was unfortunately a very timid man, and would almost as soon have had to face ; a horned demon as a cow. He tried various methods to administer the globules' he had brought, but all in vain, He was afraid of the threatening toss of the cow's horns, and was oh the point of abandoning the attempt to get the medicine down the animal's throat when Mrs G , with true woman's tact, thought of a good plan, which was to have the globules blown down the cow's throat by means of a tin pea-' shooter which one of her boys had recently, introduced for the torment of the family. Little Pat Grady was accordingly sent into the house for bis pea-shooter (or, as he termed it, his " pea-spit ter ") which, on being brought, proved to be a tin tube about a foot of eighteen inches in length. Pat, in using it. was wont to fill his mouth with hard peas (abstracted from some shop door), and on applying one end of the " spitter " to his lips, would blow the peas out at the other end. PatV pockets were usually well stored with this sort of ammunition, and he was voted a public nuisance. For once, however, his "sDit ter " was to be applied to a useful purpose. The worthy Doctor hailed its advent with as much pleasure as if it had been some pro found scientific discovery. The programme now arranged was for Master Pat Grady to mount on the fence, fill his mouth with homcepathic globules, and when the cow's head was upturned, and its mouth forced open, Pat was to blow the globules down the animal's throat. By this means t was evident that the dose would be driven home. pat's dose. The doctor filled Pat's mouth with globules, and then proceeded to assist in gettinp the cow into position. Unfortu nately he did not notice that little Pat had come to grief in ascending the fence, had missed footing, had struck his chin against the post, and thoughtlessly swallowed the medicine intended for the cow. Pat, how ever, had his, mother's smartness and presence of mind under difficulties aud got out of this scrape J>y

I quietly fiubatitining peas for pillg, g_ slipping his liand quickly into his pocket he had, unobserved, obtained a mouth ful of peas, and he got on hia post of duty with distended cheeks well ' prepared for I blowing globules or anything else into the : interior of tlic cow. The latter was at i length ready, with head forced back to its spine, mouth wide open, and nil eycH turned on Fat, tire administrator of medicine. p a t Grady was quite equal tothe occasion. He took a big breath and placed the muzale of the tiu tube to the muzzle of the cow. The other end he applied to his lips, and amid the breathless excitement of all present discharged the contents of his mouth (the peas) which went rattling on the jaws of the coW and disappeared 3owu her throat. She gave a conclusive twitch of the tail, which the learned doctor said demonstrated the sympathetic connexion between rdenro and the caudal appendage, and" also showed that the medicine had gone to the root of the matter j The cow evidently thought so, too, for she | broke from her captors, and with tail erect galloped off to graze in the paddock. She I did not cough any more, and it was evident ; to the doctor, and, as he said, to the most i sceptical observer, that a complete cure had ; been effected, and a great triumph gained to the cause of homeopathy. He only charged half a guinea for the cure. Pat kept his secret very well for a time, because he was - frightened the cow might die through bis 1 blunder, but when she recovered he got bold and told how it was done, and how the cow got the peas, while he got the pills and eyer since tben Mrs Grady has lost : faith in homeopathy, and chaffs the doctor '• about the cow.

They need not remind the public of tho ex traordinary advances that have taken place of late years in value of Waikato Town, SuburbaD, and Country Land generally, land which was originally bought at low prices being now worth very large sums per acre.—The investment of £50 having in more than one instance returned £2001) or £3600. Investment in this property is further reoom monded by tho fact that 12 months ago Messr Campbell offered for sale at Hamilton, Waikat tie first portion of this Township, which was then eagerly bought by local purchaser?, the allotments then sold are maked on the plan which can now bo obtained of tho auctioneers but the great progress made in the district Bin the date o( that sale, and the many additiona advantages which cannot fall to aocrue from the vicinity of a mining population, make invest mciu in these lands far more desirable than at that period.

During a recent visit to Hokitlka I was recommended to try your Extract of Bucalyptus Globulus by a brother who had experienced great benefit from it in alloviating a very severe cold, and, no less to my sui prise than satisfaction, I found tho disease which had troubled mo so long was connuered, and tho skin resumed its normal condition, This was effected by tho external use of less than two ono-ounco bottles.
