LONG DISTANCE TALKING.

(To the Editor.) Sir-I notice in your issue of yesterday that Hearty is credited with having walked 112 miles in 24 hours. With your JotKon, and in justice to tlie boy Scott, i trust you will allow me to make a few remarks. The man Hegarty was one of the nine competitors who enter*- and competed for the 24 hours walking championship Htelv held in Dunedin, and which was won by tho boy Scot!, who 'completed 106 miles in 23 hours 23 minutes. Now, out of the nine competitors, strange to say, no less than four of them, including this wonderful man Hegarty, had been credited, according Motile local papers in small towns with having walked from 10S up to as much as 118 miles under the 24 hours. How IS it Dial, HeL'artv nor any of the other men who D pXmed the wonderful feats could not reach even 100 miles in the 24 hours when they competed against Scott? The question in easily answered. Tho competi tion in Dunedin was got up by several gentlemen iv order to find out who was the best man, and what was the greatest distance could be covered in the 24 hours. Theprke for this great match being the Champion Belt of New Zeahnd, which yo-ng SCOtt won. Of course these men had to walk a mjlo, Which on this occasion meant 1,760 yards, not 1,-400 or 1,500 yards which proved much to much for these would-be champions, and they failed to reach 90 miles when Scott did 106 and won the belt. Since Ahe above competition l again notice iv the press that some of the competitors have been (again walking won derful feais, one of them actually beuif: credited with having done 120 miles, and Hearty 112. The course vfhere the com petition was held was a splendid one, H being laid oil'in the Garrison Hall Dunedin, and 1 am sure much better than could b< obtained in tho email places where thest men are supposed to have performed these wonderful feats, ro there was no excuse foi their not being able to do, at least, a decent performance in the competition, In con cluding it is quite evident that none of these men when placed on a correctly measured course, measuring 1,700 yards to a mile, can possibly walk over 90 miles when they are at their best. Scott's perfor mances, ou the other hand, are well known to be genuine, and will bear the strictesl investigation. In his two great matche.* with Edwards—the 7-mile race and the 24 hours contest-in which he gave the self styled champion such a thrashing, I think this is sufficient proof, when Scott did 100 miles, and the other men faihd to accom plish 90. I think the above is sufficient to show that these men, who are supposed to have done these big feats before or after the competition, are impossible to be genuine. How is it they could not perform these dis tances when they had to walk on a measured milo with Scott? They could not then, as I said before, reach 90. The press down South commented very strongly on these facts. Trusting you will insert the above in justice to young Scott, whose per formances are well known to be genuine j hence his great popularity,—l am, &c., A. AUSTIN.

CITY EAST WARD.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l was pleased to see that the City Couucil had at length acknowledged the wretched state of the channelling aDd foot paths in the much-neglected City East ward, by their action at yesterday's meeting in accepting tenders for the kerbing and channelling of Symonds-street, but in doing thus much, 1 think they have scarcely treated fairly those ratepayers who, together with myself, some months since petitioned the Couu cil t) kerb aud form at It as; one fool • path iv Craftou Koad before the comiugwin tcr. Theanswcrreceivedto that petition was that the prayer of the petition was acceded to, but that at present there were no fund.s available to carry out the improvements —the job would be placed on the list of works authorised, aud would be taken in its turn. By subsequent events I believe this to have been a quiet way of shelving the matter, as I understand its turn on this list comes after the extensive improvements contemplated in Durham and Albert-streets, for which a considerable sum will be re quired. Since the Council's assent to our petition, several works quite as extensive as the formation of a footpath in Grafton Road have been undertaken. At the meet ing of tho Council on the 10th inst., Coun cillor Goldie carried a motion to the effect that the kerbinir and channelling of Wel lington-street be carried on simultaneously with the works in Durham and Albert streets. Of course the effect of this will be to further shelve Grafton Koad [ have always given Councillor Goldie credit for integrity aud honesty of purpose, but his action in this matter, to say the least, was very unjust. I see by the report of the Council meeting held yesterday even ing that several motions were brought for ward for kerbing and channelling in the west wards. I trust that the Councillors for City Eastward will see that these, when earriei, are placed on the list of authorised works to take their turn, and not "be undertaken as soon as possible after the estimate of cost has been obtained," to the exclusion of works previously voted, as Councillor Goldie's motion on Nelson-street would lead me to believe was his intention. Grafton-road being the maiu thoroughfare io the Domain, the formation of a footpath there would not only bo of great benefit tn the residents, but to the Auckland public generally. In condition, permit me to inform tho Council through you, that it is> more than twelve mouths since an employe ot theirs was in tho locality to look to its wants ; that the side of the road where a footpath should be is becoming over-grown with gor.-e bushes, aud that the surface drainage (not all pure water) from Symonds and Alfred-streets, is turned into Grafton Road opposite the Choral Hall, aud from there is allowed to wander of its own free will, forming a swamp of considerable extent, which, ova hot day, emits not the sweetest of odours.—Yours, &c, Join L. Holland.

GARDEN AND FIELD PESTS.

(To the Editor.)

Sip,—There exists a quaint truism, and I believe one universally admitted, that there are few diseases without their remedies, which 1 think might with considerable ad vantage to the public be carefully studied and applied by that revered body, yclept, the Acclimatisation Society. That such a society should of neeessityjexist, is a matter UDon which I will venture no opiuior., being slightly aflhcted with severe mental strabis mus, or like our gallant Nelson, not dis tinctly recoguising an object when antagon istic to one's own ideas in so doing. That the said society has been productive of some good results, it may be my bad taste in not admitting, but that it has beeu attended with numerous disastrous result-, none but thoroughly qualified candidates for a luna tic asylum would venture to refute. A closo neighbour of mine recently complained bit terly of the depradatory acts of those destruc tive imported birds, which most adroitely and effectively whipped out nearly every grain sown in a four acre patch, with almost incredible skill and instinct, immod'a'ely it was put into the ground, leaving him tho very remunerative balance (when matured) of about one bushel to the acre. Now sir, this is vi hat I oall rather tough work for the' farmer, nnd equally so (contingent thereon) what must the amateur feel, who has toiled hard, at no inconsiderable patience aud ex pense to raise his orchard and potato plot &c, to find one fine" morning all his tigs, peaches &c, eaten, most luscious grapes turned inside out, like so many small empty pill boxes hanging gracefully from tho stalk, and hundreds of large white eyed littlo finches revelling joyously therein, his potatoes most scientifically ploughed up by tho pheasants, and his apples flying about all over his garden (as bad as any shot or shell) to tho imminent danger of his profile with a huge blackbird at the rear of it, with deeply impaled bill, comprising their motive power equally as astonishing to the newly arrived colonists, as it is prejudicial to their best aud vital interests. Should you kindly favour me with an insertion of these direful circum stances in your widely circulated paper, you will in all probability, not only call forth many expedients from your numerous readers, tending to a modification of these most unmitigated public nuisances (for such by their terrific havoc and daily in creasing numbers have they literally 'now become), but be most acceptable to the public as well as instructive to the Acclimatisation Society, besides conferring | an incalculable boon on the farmers and , small holders of land, &c., to say nothing of being a general benefactor in being thus instrumental in aiding the suppression of this steadily growing and most serious I drawback to the agricultural interests of ! the entire colony, and thereby incurring • the sincere thanks of your noble country- i men and most suffering correspondent.—l j am, &c, ' The British Lion.

LOOK ON THE PICTURE AND THEN ON THAT.—THE PRUDENTIAL SOCIETY AGAIN.

(To the Editor). i Sir,— You will, I trust, permit me to justify myself in the eyes of the public aud each

policyholder m the above Society. boW the veritahle Wra. Mackune, the aIS defalcator of the funds of the Erudentli Society, and also in refutation of the fi + annual report of the N.Z P.A. Societt « h'"-h appeared in the Stab of March 3rd I had to leave town on the 4th, and cons* qii'irly had no tune until I returned * t must certainlysay that your reporter did tint put things so very black against rue as haa the reporter of the "Herald," and! I hay consequently replied at full length in that paper, and do hereby ask each policyholder to procure the "Herald, 11 and judge fa themselves. I never was the secretary • i never made any entries in the secretary** books, but on slips of paper, and in aroush book. Mr C. B. Matthews was the first secretary, who would not let the committee of management look into them, let alon make an entry. He told them that they had no right to question the secretary it all. When he resigned, I was elected acting-secretary; simply to keep the Society working, and to sign policies and to answer any correspondence that mic-h* be required, but I had no books. Mr Sly field succeeded Mr Matthews as Secretary immediately on receiving the books from Jackson and Russell, At the same time Mr Thomas L. Kyle became clerk under Mr Slyfield. These two gentlemen worked aard, and lotig. hours, to bring thine. straight; they also opened up a new Bet of books, and made no entries in Mr Matthews' books. One week before the end of'tbo quarter Messrs Slyfield and Kyle, ballanc. ing their books up to the last week but one (if that quarter, and produced receipts and vouchers for all monies paid to date,'and for which the whole of the committee w_ well pleased, they then left. About eioht or ten days after this Mr Gibson became ■Secretary. His first action was to lindi fault with the books of Mr Matthew?, Mr Sly. field and Kyle, saying they were in a meaT This was the first intimation the committee had tbat their books were not correctly kept. Now, Mr Editor, a deficiency of £70 183 Id could easily be traced, ami'l ivould strongly advise the policy-holdereto ice iuto it at once. Again, seventy person? having paid, and not been credited,* this ought not to be a great puzzle for such' a man as Mr Leirs to find out, and, in c __. elusion, I can conscientiously say that the above statements are true, and I hereby caution the members of the committee of the Prudential that should anything appear again detrimental to my character, I shall immediately take legal proceedings*against them. Sorry to trespass on your.limited space, I am, &c, ••' .'■■> WILMAM MACKOHE, ' Late Supcrintendant of the prudential Society,- . '/axu-v Ilukerman-street, Freeman's Bay; Auckland,' March 30th, 1880.

MR HURST AND CITY WEST.

(To tho Editor). , •51P.,—1n a portion of Mr Hurst's address he says : " if you had been in Wellington)™ ;ould have beheld the miserable spectacle >f some of your members factiously opposing local measures for your own1 good aud that of the city generally simply because they were entrusted to my care. (Avoice: That ,vas old Whitaker.) No; it was Mr Lit. don. Sir, I felt pity and pain, bat I pass such conduct by with the contempt1 it merits,"

I believe it could only be reasonably ex* pected that the majority of Auckland meta oers would object to an entirely new and untried member thrusting himself so po minently forward. Auckland Was noUo badly off tbat no member could be"e_ trusted with its busineos but Mr Hurst, Can you reconcile the fact of j_t. Hurst leeliug pity, aud paiD,and contemptt It seems to me impossible to feel pity and pain allied for anyone you contemn. , If I treat anyone with contempt, I might be sorry for them, but they cannot pain me, Mr dur«t was elected because Dr. WaJlij felt pity and pain, but he could not have felt contempt, or he would not have'nm with him, and also because he wasMhe nominee of the Central Committee,, and although he won in a canter it was not (in Ms own merits. Mr Hurst may feel con tempt for anyone speaking thus plainly to him, but let him if he dares to try the issue, resign his seat. If he is elected again he will convey many who doubt him into ■supporters, and if he does notprove success ful, mauy who now feel contempt will pity nun, if not be pained ou his account— if ours &c.,

JUDGMENTS, &c.,

(To the Editor).

Sir, —"Patriot" is a most surprising news' . paper correspondent for this year ot ISBO.— liis ideas are certainly " old things become new." His seven judgments, commencing with the Auckland Dock ani ending with our horseraciug G ye nor, to whichis tobo added, unless we repent, pleuro., an eighth, are novelties to find in print. Ashe went thus beyond the magic number of "tern" he might as well have enumerated.; native troubles at Waimate, floods at Napier, un employed, and other calamities, from which we would have choscu to escape. These troubles, he says, have come upon us because the Bible is not a lesson book in our school?. AVhat is there in the Bible bearing ou marine docks or on "pie WO! The Jews were not a maratime people,*if.we except a few fishing boats, dignified by the name of ships, on the Sea of Gallilce. In our state of society the idea of special judg ment is happily banished from themindsof all who have given the subject even a slight critical examination, aud is only to be found in minds that have accepted the dogma asa matter to be believed but not investigated, The intelligent public now accept the. idea that the woild and all its affairs is governed by immutable laws, and that the study of these laws and obedience to them is the only way to relieve oravertcalarmties.: With the obsolete belief that calamities are God's special judgments,' any . attempt to prevent impending or relieve existing calamities is an attempt to frns trate God's intention to punish; but we of; the other belief are not in our attempts to mitigate calamity afflicted with such » sacreligious apprehension. There are other civilisations besides onrs, but we rate ours tho highest because we know mostaboutit, and because it is ours. The Chinese, a much larger section of humanity than .we, are less given to war, more patientful, in dustrious, and frugal than we are,"in* without the Bible. They are reported 10 have disgusting vices, but so have we. NO doubt the Bible has had some influence in shaping our civilisation, but it has also been used as an obstiuctive to the dis coveries of science. There is no danger M the Bible becoming unknown, but there" a probability that in the future it wil"fi more known as a classic thaiiasaninfallio'o guide. One would infer from •'Petnot.,;, and other correspondents that, instruction of the heart audlife is totally neglected m our schools. It is a libel on onrscUoOß. Is not the whole discipline of no schools inculcativo of truthfulness, gentle ness, and industry, and reprehetnve ~■_ of dishouesty, rudeuess, idleness.^ and in decency ? Aud a large portion of tne in iustruction is instruction iv the worKS c God, and wo can approach no.nearer w God thau to a knowledge of Ins wort* It is a mistake, the notion that -tne. moral line the character ot aw? !,'. girl takes is acquired mostly a a*oo1 .'

Fevers which so quickly faston on tho debill- ' tated syutem may oasily nu kept away by tho timoly uso of this tST MOST WONDERFUL REMEDY! _» In fact, by it 3 uso' tho Most Malignant of Tropical Fevers HAVE been ejected from the Human System, and by its aid Dying, Fever-stricken Men havo bocn, as it woro, EAISED FROM THE DEAD 1 Aa Is shown by tho following interesting TALE OF THE FACIFIC! A TALE OF THE PACIFIC. Wm. Oppcrman, Eeq., a wealthy island trader was for eoino months lying ill at Happem amma an i land of the Kingsmill Grouo, in tho Pacific Ho had been soized with rhoumaticfovor, which waa followed by complicated disorders of a tor rib'y severe nature, assuming tho form cf a specie- of palsy never before known. Tho suf ferer's l'mbs swelled, the legs lost all sensibility to pan ; the foot could be wrenched round or tho skin pierced with a lance without Inflicting tho slightcsf.su Iter ing. Tho sick man was evi dently unco, scious of his huviug legs, and his brr.in wa« seriously affected as if with lunacy. In lira deplorable state ho was kindly brough f:om tin. is ands to Auckland by Mr H. Hender son in tho schooner Coionet. Captain Mooller and, bong a Gorman, he was recoived by the Gorman Consul, G. Yon dcr Hoyde, Esq., end placed in tho District Hospital, where ho re ceived treatment for threo weeks with no indica tion of improvement, his case being pronounced by ono and all a moat hopeleas one. Tho captain of the Corono", knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by tho use of llitchona' Celebrated Blood Restorer requested tho proprietor of tho Blood Restoror to lako tho caso ;n hand, and a contract was entered into of " No cure, no pay." Mr Hitchens proceeded to tho Hospital, examined the invalid und found him in an appirently dying state with ecurcely a spark of life left. Mr Hitchena ordered tho suffering man to bo removed to his (Mr H.'h) privato ro-ddence where hia wants could personally be attended to b-Mr Hitchens Tho latter administered tho ioedicino(tho lllood Rc;;tore:) i.nd used tho ointment freoly. Mean while clergymen called, pronouncing tho caso bejond the power of man to effect a cure. How ever, ufcr six weeks tho eilcct of the medicino became wonderfully apparent. Tho Llood Restorer had acted steadily but Dure'y on tho blood ; tho deadly impurities wero gradually eliminated from the system until tho Btream of li.'o flowed unchecked in its natural channels over the entiro mar. Tho brain be came c.ear and active, and the limb3onco again reioioed in natural circulation, the patient rising to his feot cured of dieetisei which had baflled the skill of leading phyticians, a living proof of tho wonderful healing powers of Hitchons Celebrated Blood Restorer. TESTIMONIAL.! Auckland, N.Z. To 11. A. 11. Hitchens, Esq. Bufore leaving Auckland on my return voyage to the Islands, I have to perform tho pleasing duly of acknowledging tho surprising euro I havo received at your hands. Coming to Auckland as I did a dying man, being palsied and generally unconscious, and hearinu from others that no hope of recovery wus held out by medical men, I look upon you now as tho preserver of my life. I am convincod that to you • medirine alone is duo tho credit for my now being a living man. I beg to thank you most Bincorely for tho kind ness you havo shewn me whilo staying in your house, and in conclusion would earnestly re commend sick people to use your Blood Restorer, as it is the most extraordinary purifier of Iho blood 1 ever heard of, or met with in my travels.

Ida X., of Pa-owalk, I wenty years r f ogo, had on tho 19th February, 1573, a lit of chilling fevor with violet pains in her throat. Sho called upon a medical practitioner, who. recognizing at once tho case lo b.i ono of diphtheritic, mado her enter my klinik, whero 1 had to separate her from the oilier patients. The patient, well develop hi for hor ago, was complaining of pains in her throat, wi'ich grew worpo when sho en deavoured to swallow, speak, or movo tho neck. Tho submaxillar and submental glands wero much swollen, anil tho fever was of a remitting nature. Tho condition of the patient was on the 22nd of February: Warmth-liO.! C, pulso=96 i'; spiral ion=2o. Proscription: Extract cue. o. folds to bo inhaled for twenty minutes otcry hour. The following day tho 'lationt throw out small particles of cx.mlat. The local appear ances iv tho phaiynx grew worse, ami tho exsudats wero more extended over tho mucous membrane. That increase cf symptoms eaueod mo to augment tho doso to ono tea spoonful of extract cue. used for Inhala tion ; also tho inMi'ations wero continued during tho night. On the 27ih pal lent got better and tbo fever had subsided. On examining tho phar. Nx it was easily to bo noticed lhat iho pro cess or dipllthcrltis gave way, and on tho 11th of March Iho patient was restored to health and discharged. Tl.o report in question says that tho Eucalypti Extract, iv all euses of diphtliorltlcs I roved successful; it also sets forth cases of laryngitis and bronchit's, chronica, pneumonia, crouposa doxt a, «c to pharyngitis, combined with laryngitis, treated sueccbsfully with tho Eucalypti Kxtract.
