A ROMANTIC SITUATION.

Miss Angelina Afem went rusticating last summer with her ma. They found board at a pleasant country homestead, where there was already quite a party. Miss Apem desired to make herself gener ally agreeable, and decided to cultivate the acquaintance of the grandmother of the household on the very first evening after her arrival. Accordingly after tea when the hoarders had assembled on the porch to enjoy the cool breeze, Miss Apem opened on the grandmother, who was busy with her knitting. " This is a very romantic situation, said the young lady, addressing] thejivenerable dame.

The latter looked at her inquiringly. " This is a very romantic situation," repeated the young lady, in her sweetest tones and a little louder.

The old lady said : " I am a little hard of hearing ; please speak a litile louder." "This is a very romantic situation," again repeated Miss Apem in a higher key, coloring slightly, and looking a littlo em barrassed when she saw that she was attracting the attention of the assembly. The old lady looked thoroughly puzzled and said : "A leetle louder, Miss." The young lady reddened visibly. Three gentlemen were looking at her with quizzical expressions, and four ladies were taking in the situation with an evident relish, Miss Apem gathered herself for the final struggle and concentrating all her power of speech, she shouted: " This is a very romantic situation," Three elderly gentlemen jumped up so suddenly as to throw their eye-glasses from their noses. A croquet party came running around the house to see what was the matter. The house dog thought an army of tramps had invaded the promises, and ran towards the gate barking savagely. The man of the bouse thought the fish pedlar had arrived on his weekly visit, and yelled—" Four pounds of white fisb, three of trout, and five of bull-heads." A man from town wbo was passing in a buggy, thinking some one had asked bim about the news in Ihe city, replied, " nothing new." ...

Miss Apem's situation by this time was anything but romantic. She was blush ing like a red, red rose, and the perspiration had started from her forehead in such pro fusion as to take the crinkle and frizz all out of her hair. Her pleasant smile had given way to a look of pained expectation. She watched the old lady nervously. Did the old lady hear this time? Would she answer? Mu»t Miss Apem again yell at her? These were the questions that chased each other through her throbbing biaio. It was a critical moment. It seemed ages to Miss Apem. All the acts of her life came crowding up before her. She was about to speak. Miss Apem listens : " Wall, I don't know about it's bein' very rheumatic around here. I have lived here nigh onto seventy year, an' 1 never had a tech of pain of any kind, except once when the biindle heifer kicked me in the shins as I was miikin' on 'er. I tied her tail around her hind leg to keep her trom whiskin' on it into my face. She got mad 'cause she couldn't whisk her tail and up and kicked like all creation, I rubbed arniky oh the shin and I was all right in a day or two. But Jim Shaw, who lives over on the cross road, he has complained of rheumatiz a good many years off and on. It catches him in his back and in his knee-j'ints.and makes 'em stiff sometimes. Do ye ever have the rheumatiz ?" By the time the old lady had finished Miss Apem had fainted dead away, and had to be carried to her room. Tho shockjto her nervous system was too great. The old lady looked somewhat surprised, but re tained her presence of mind and shouted to persons who were assisting Miss Apem : "If she has got the rumatiz bad come and get my bottle of arniky."—"Rome Sen tinel."

Auckland Presbytery.

A special meeting ot tne Auckland Preg. bytery was held this morning in St. Andrew's school-room. Present: Revs. J. Macky (Moderator), R. F. Macnicol, D. W.

Runciman, G. B. Monro, T. Norrie, A

Carrick, R. Somerville, and several elders and students. The proceedings opened with the reading of the 20th chapter of Romans, and prayer by the Rev. the Moderator.

MINUTES.—The minutes of the last meet ing were read and adopted.—Mr Runciman asked if this was an open meeting, in which any question which might arise might bo taken up.—Mr Somerville said that it was a special meeting, still any other question, might bo introduced. —Roy. Thomas Norrie spoke with reference to the separation of the seven districts, and stated that the elders of the districts had been warned, and they were willing to abide by tho decision of tho Presbytery. Student Missionaries.—Rev. R. F. Macnicol said ho had much pleasure in introducing two young men, student missionaries, who had been sent out to Auckland by the Extension Committee of tho Church of Scotland—one from Scotland, and the other from the North of Ireland.— The young men then came forward, and were welcomed by ministers pre sent, Rev. J. Macky delivering a feeling and encouraging address. The Mode rator said that he had some knowledge of the capabilities of Mr Johnston, who had shown that he could endure a considerable amount of hardship. Ho cordially wel comed the young men and hoped they would prove of essential service in the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand.

Rev. T. Norrie's Repokt. —Mr Norrie read several letters from tho districts of Waiuku, Pukokohe, Pollock, and other settlements, and spoke at considerable length on the possibilities of tho new change at Waiuku. It was desired by the Waiuku people to have a district church and their own minis ter, but before tho prayer of the Waiuku petitioners, the matter should be considered by the Presbytery, in fairnesi to tho other districts. His own opinion wns that thero should be a manse built at Waiuku, and a minister stationed there ; and the people to some extent were prepared for tho chatigc. —Key. Mr Monro put a question to Mr Norrie, through the Moderator, as to the supplies of the proposed separated districts. —Mr Norrip replied that lie thought there was little chance of getting more than £110 from the three districts. These districts had beeu cited, but were not represented to-day. -Key. R. Somerville read communications from the several districts to tho effect that Pukekohe would contribute £40, Mauku £40, and South Mauku £10.—Rev. K. F. Macnicol understood that the representa tives who were present at the last meeting were deoirous of a further consideration before leaving it entirely in the hands of the Presbytery.—Rev. Mr Norrie said hs had a scheme in relation to the question at issue, which was that the too districts be comprised in one parish. He had conferred with the people of tho districts of Pukekohe and Pokeno, but they felt that they could not raise more than the amounts which had been placed against them. He might say that they were very anxious to be constituted into ono church. The of the late Rev. Mr Galloway was a very peculiar one. He thought one minister might be stationed at Waiuku, and assistants at Pukekohe and Pokeno, aud with a moderate grantof £25 thescheme might becarried out. —Key. D. W. Runcimanasked if there was a likelihood of the £25 being grauted by the Church Extension Committee. Rev. R. _, Macnicol thought if it was only for one year it would not be refused, although the funds were not large.—Mr McComrie thought the several districts would contribute £175.—The Rev,, the Moderator, asked if any member was pre pared to second Mr Norrie's motion.—Rev. Mr Runciman seconded in the following form: " That the districts lying between South Manukau and the Waikato Heads be constituted one charge, and that v, min ister be appointed." The motion w«.s pat and carried.

■ New Kirk Session.—lt was agreed that v meeting be convened on the 13th Sep tember in Pollock church, and that Rev. Mr Norrie be Moderator of the Kirk Session.

Reception of Mr H. Barton.—Mr Macnicol stated that he and Key Mr Carrick had an Interview with Mr Henry Barton, who was well known to most of them, and that he was qualified in every respect for a lay preacher of the church.— Mr Carri:k united in speaking in favour of Mr Barton, and Mr Runciman expressed tbe pleasure he felt in supporting tbe re commendation. He should like to see the stamp of the Presbytery upon Mr Barton, who was a member of St Stepheu's church. Several ministers said Mr Barton had preached in their churches with much accept ance. The necessaryquestions werethenput and answered satisfactorily by Mr Barton. —The Rev. the Moderator expressed the pleasure he felt in welcoming Mr Barton, who had long been a useful friend to the Presbyterian Church. Mr Barton had preached at his (Mr Macky's) church to its edification, and ho was much beloved by those who had the pleasure of listening to bis ministrations.—Mr Barton was then formally installed a lay preacher of the Presbytery.

Pukekohe and Pokeno.—Mr Norrie moved, and Mr McCowrie seconded, " That Pukekohe and Pokeno be comprised into one parish under their united names."—Mr Runciman thought that although the memorial of the Waiuku people had been granted, the people of the latter district could not well ask fur such a concession until they were prepared with £200 ; they could only raise £175. He moved as an amendment " that the matter be deferred until the next meeting."—Mr Munro second ed, and would add that the several places remain as at present, until the charge of Rev. Mr Norrie.—The motion was with drawn by Mr Norrie.—The Moderator thought it was best to allow the matter to stand over at least for a month.

(Left sitting).

Volunteer Review.

AT a parade of the Auckland Rifle Bat talion last night, about 100 being present, Major Derrom formed the men into a hollow square and addressed them. He regretted that the battalion was not more efficient, but said he had not had an oppor tunity for making it so. At a meeting of officers it had been resolved to hold a review on the 9th of November (Prince of Wales' Birthday), and to invite the Thames, Wai kato, and Waiuku corps. If they accepted, nearly 2,000 men would be on parade. He wished the Auckland battalion to make a presentable appearance on that occasion. It had been very painful to him to hear them stigmatised aa "duffers," but the only way to retrieve; their reputation was by oeing attentive at drill, so that both officers and men might act in unison. He was resolved not to attend the review unless the corps responded to his request, that they should attend drill regularly. It was not yet set tled whether the review should take place at Ellerslie or at a place near the Whau, but if tie latter place were chosen, there would be more room, and the Navals could go to Poiut Chevalier iv their boats. Tn order to test the feeling as to the pro priety of holding a review Major Morrow moved " That it is desirable that a review should be held on the 9th November," Lieut. Anderson seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of Capt. Mahon, it was resolved to invite all the Companies in the Provincial District to co-operate, it was resolved, on the motion ot Capt.. Mahon, to hold a general meeting of volunteers on Monday evening next, to consider the question of selecting a place for the review.—lt was also agreed that in struction parades be held every week. Major Derrom submitted a number of in structions regarding drill, which he pro mised to forward to the captains of com panies.

Owing to an informality in connection with the examination of Mr Peace, recently elected to sub-lieutenant of the A Battery Artillery, it has become necessary to hold another election.

At the Volunteer battalion parade las* night Captain Mowbray, of the Scottish Company, announced his resignation on ac count of ill-health and inability to perform his duties to his own satisfaction, owing to pressure of business. He expressed deep regret upon leaving the Company with which he had been so long and so plea santly associated. Captain Derrom spoke iv terms of regret of tho withdrawal of Cap tain Mowbray, and hoped they would always receive the assistance of that gentle man, though not maintaining his active connection with the battalion. Of this Captain Mowbray assured those present. Major Derrom then intimated the appoint ment of Lieut. Anderson to a temporary charge of the Company, pending the elec tion of a successor to Captain Mowbray.

CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —In lost night's issue you intimate that there will be a majority of Councillors in favour of night meetings.' I caunot see how you can assume that position, seeing that if two of the new members are in favour of day meetings it will be sufficient to retain them. lam not opposed to night meetings, as I voted in favour of them, but I am op posed to this " turn-about-wheel-like-Jem- Crow" kind of business. The ratepayers must think very little of the business capa bilities of Councillors when they go from day meetings to night, thon back again to day, then change from Wednesday to Thurs day, and now a wish to go back to night meetings—and why? Just to suit indivi dual whims and fancies. Then again, lam not preparod to tax the ratepayers to suit Councillors' convenience. It will cost the city about £150 if we go back to night meetings. The Town Clerk, Surveyor, assistant-clerk, and messenger will havo to bo paid half day's pay each week. No doubt it will bo urged the Town Clerk will not ask pay for the extra time. Presuming so, we cannot ask the others to do the same, and if tbe payia given to them, it must also be given to the Town Clerk. It must also be borne in mind that the annual voting of salaries will be shortly bofore the Council, theu an advance in salary will be asked for, because of the extra duties.—l am, &c,

Wm. J. Offer Councillor for South Ward.

AMERICAN RUINS.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—In your paper of August 31, you have quite an interesting articlo about tho ancient inhabitants of America. You say very truly that poople know very little abont thorn, but through the generosity of Mr Lorillard, uud the energy of tho French Government, great expectations may be in dulged in. For your readers' information, I may state that three distinctly different kinds of ruins or antiquaries exist iv America, the supposed earliest whereof is the Great Pyramid in Arizona, and is tho best preserved representative, and dates undoubtedly anterior to the great Hood, as the ruts mado by tho wator running down its sides are about a fool wide and the same in depth, iuto the solid rocks of which it is built. The second-class include the great mounds of earth full of pottery, resembling considerably tho samo class in the North of Europe. The third and lost, and comparatively speaking, modern, are the ruins of the great cities of Central America, whereof the one iv tho province of Yucatan Mexico, which is thirty-two miles long and sixteeu wide, surpasses both Baby lon or Nineveh, (sco America Antiquities). Mich as are desirous of making themselves familiar with the antiquities of America, with thoir peoples, and also with the foretathors of our neighbours, the Maoris, had bettor lay aside their prejudices and study the book of Mormon, Such will be apt to find some new ideas opening to their views—among others that Te Whiti, when he claims to be a descendant of Joseph, in Egypt, is simply stating the truth, however paradoxical it may seem.—Respectfully yours- John P. Sorensen, Elder In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The Cruelties in New Cale donia.

A Paris correspondent writes:—"Every one seems to be horrified at the revelations connected with the penitentiary establish ment at New Caledonia. It was ollicially stated, over and over again, that no excesses were committed; that the convicts were as hnppily situated as their position allowed. However, a Parliamentary inquiry ia now taking place, and the evidence of a M. Hum bert, an amnestiod editor, is very conclusive, because unadorned and business-like. He quotes from official documents, as they were published inNew Calodonia. For idleness or refusal to work, the lash. The bastinado was as much in requisition as among the Turks. Prisoners were chained in couples, contrary to the rules ; boxed by the warden on the slightest, or for no pretext, or placed in irons and exposed to the sun • kicks and the butt-ends of revolvers constituted another mode of repression, and one Communist who escaped to the Couaques, was caught, shot with a revolver, and the savages invited to slice him with their lances. In 1878 three prisoners arranged to escape. Tho authori ties were cognizant of the plot, aud instead of nipping it in tho bud, allowed it to tako place. The agent charged with the preven tion invited eight friends to come and witness how the game was shot, and to bring the bodies to the hospital. Thumb-screws were employed to extort con fessions. One man—he is at present in Paris amnestied—was chained, hands behind back, to a wall, and remained in this posi tion day and night for twenty-two days. He had to lap up his food like a dog. Mar riages between tho condemned were only so many facilities for the wives becoming the mistresses of officials, the husbands receiv ing the proceeds of their prostitution. There were some camps where there were no doc tors, and here the warders prescribed. One patient was given carbolic acid .for bark, and died; another had a broken leg unset for three months. Although the cli mate is healthy and mild, prisoners died rapidly from misery and famine, and for reporting in this sense, Dr. Fontain was censured. M. Humbert observed that, so far as ho himself was considered, it was hunger that he felt the most cruelly. He hits the Colonial Minister home when he aflinnß that he must have had cognizance of all these outrageous punishments, as they were duly registered, and copies of tlje registers periodically forwarded. It should be borne in mind that the Com munists, though transported, were not to be assimilated to felons.

A LOST DOG.

His name vas Bismarck, mit only vone oyo, on accoundt of a old pluck cat, vot belongs to a serfant Irish gals mit red-haired hair. Also he has only dree legs, on accoundt of a mocolotif-engines mitout any bull-ketcher. He vas a dog, Bismarck vas.

Also, if you trow some stones on top of him he villrun likedeTuefel, and holler "Xi yi 1 Ky yi I " Dot's de vay you can told my dog. He looks like a cross petween a bull foundlandt und a cat mit nine tails—but, he ain't. He got not efen vone whole tail, nnd he ain't cross not a bit.

I haf peen eferyvheres looking for dot dog. Yhen lam in Canada de last week, a pig loafer says, "Do you know I know you ?" " No, you don't. Do I know you ? If I know you, told me vone who I vas." " You vas Mr Ross," says he, " und you vas looking for your leetle Sharley." ••No, sir; 1 vas Yon Boyle," says I, "und I vas looking for my leetle Bis marck."

In the hurry of going to press last nigh the last portion of our report of tho work ing men's meeting wns inadvertently omitted. We now give it in more abridged form :—As soon as tho first resolution had been put to the meeting and unanimously carried, Mr W. Leys proposed, " That this meeting condemns the roport of tho Royal Commission on Local Industries as being incorrect in many details, very one-sided, entirely unreliable and worthless."—Tho proposition was seconded by Mr Dnke aud unanimously carried.—Mr Duke then pro posed, and Mr George Akcrs seconded, "That our representatives in the General Assembly be requested to use their inilucuce in having an impartial commission appointed of skilled men with some knowledge of manufactures to determine in what manner our local industries may bo fostered."— Messrs Gough, Neylon, Hampton, and Rafton spoke in support of the motion, which, on being put to tho meeting, was carried nem con. —This concluded the public proceedings.

A MAN FOUND DEAD AT MAN GAPAI.

An inquest wrs held at Mr James Black burn's, Mangapai, recently before Mr Bedlington, coroner of Whangarei, and a jnry, of which Mr Richard Knagg was chosen foreman. The following evidence was given :— William McCartney, sworn, stated, on Thursday August sth, about noon, I asked Blackburn if there was a road across tho creek near Blackburn's. He said "Yes, by wading." I get across the first creek. Did not know ot another creek. 1 came to it nnd I saw a bag lying, I wont down a littlo further and I saw a man lying in the mud. I turned back and coo ee'd tor Blackburn, and told him I had found a mun lying dead. Blackburn said, " I will come round with tbe boat." J, Shooter and Blackburn came round, and we took the deceased out of the mud. Blackburn said he would go to Mr Harrison and report it, I left, and was not present again.—Cross- examined ; The body was on its face, with the hands on the mud. One foot was fast in the mud, he had his hat on, could not say if the tide had been over him, his swag was lying about two feet from the body, on the right side. He was up to the middle in mud, in a stooping position. His spade and gum spear were near him, ono on each side, the gum spear nearly buried, but upright. His boots were left. My impression is, that he went in himself by the marks, I saw no other track. The boots had evidently been pulled off his feet in raising the body. James Blackburn corroborated and added: The body was lying in a stooping position on the mud. We pulled him out. In pulling him ont his boots were left iv the mad, his hat was on his head. When we went to raise him his face was partly buried in the mud. At the place where he was found there is about 5 feet of water at high tide. In the evening Harrison, McAllister, B. Ormandy and I went in a boat and brought the body to the wharf, washed it, and put it in the shed where the jury have now seenit. Wealsobroughttheswag.spade, I think I could have crossed safely at the seme place at low water, I do not know what brought bim there.

The foreman.of the jury stated " that, on Saturday evening, July 31st, I saw a man coming over my land with a swag on his back, a spade, and a gumspear. He crossed over my paddock to the gate behind the house. Thinking he had been digging gum on my land I questioned him." and he said, "he had not. He said "he had come from Mangawai, and wanted to go to the beach." I directed him on the road, but I saw him turn into the road to the beach. That was the last I saw of him until to-day. His age would be about 60. His hair was turning rather grey. He ap peared quite sober. Christopher Hammond (Armed Consta bulary) gave evidence. He said the body was that of a man about 50 years of age ; height about sft. 9in.; dark complexion, dark hair, stout, with aquiline features; After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict " That the deceased, who is unknown, was found dead in- a tidal creek at Mangapai, and had no marks of violence on his body, bnt how, or by what means he came to bis death no evidence did appear to tho jury." Tho jury are of opinion that there has been negligence in the inquest not having been held until the fourth day after the body was found, and notice given the same day. A paper found among the deceased's effects appeared to be a summons to attend an inquest at the Mangawai Hotel on June 10th on the death of E. Shea. A name in writing, like J. Sturch, appeared opposite the word, constable, on the printed form. Whether this was the constable's name, or of the witness could not be made out. It was a good deal defaced by wet. This may lead to his identity at Mangawai. —(Corres pondent).

Wo regret to learn that Mr Blanchard, Inspector of the Coloninl Bank, who arrived in Auckland about ten days ago, died at the Northern Club this morning. Although suffering from consumption, the immediate cause otdeath was acute bronchitis, and the end came with unexpected suddenness. The deceased was much respected. HMr R. J. Feltus intimates that ho is pre* parod to lill up returns for nil persons who are liablo to bo assessed for tlio Property Tax. His address is, Trimble & Co., Cus tom House-street. Elder Shroovo, wbo has just returned to Salt Lake City from Australia aud Now Zealand informs the Mormon journal that Australia is a hard country to preach the Gospel in, but New Zealand is much moio promising. Ho only took eight converts from Australia, but twenty-two wont from New Zealand by tbe same steamer, and be says ho has baptised thirty-five. How is this thus ?, Is this climate productivo of mental imbecility ? " ! ' ' _

A concert, consisting of old songs in character, will take place in Renjuera Hall on Thursday at 8 o'clock. As the entertain ment is quite unique, there ought to bo a good audience. New Arrivals, Residents, and Tourists paying a flying vißit. cannot rightly estimate tho. busi ness and manufacturing resources of AuoKiana without visiting the only establishment ol tbe kind in this city whioh is conducted on the London Byßtem, combining the various deport ments of House Furnishing, Hrapery and Clothing. We refer to the City Hall Arcade, a stroll through which will well repay the visitor. The proprietors KMeßsrs Garlicic & Cranweil) have inst completed important alterations which are not only a vast improvement in tbe appearance of the pramises. but enables them to keep the largest variety of Drawing-room Suites in town (ready for delivery), also an immense assortment of Iron, Brass, and Wood Bedsteads, and other House Ferniahing Requi sites. This business i« managed on the CO, oi-brative Cash system. All kinds of Drapery. Millinery, nnd Men's and Boys' Clothing being sold at one-half the profit that would be re quired if credit was given. Furniture and Carpets to suit ovory Claa3 of Luelomar kept.

Newest music, beautiful portfolios in which to keep it neatly, instruction books, &c, at the Anckland music warehouse. A beautiful young tom-cat is advertised for in another column. The owner con siders he had not arrived at that age when these interesting animals commence seren ading on the tiles, and therefore could not have wandered away, but has been ruth lessly torn from hearth and home. Lord Lansdowne, who resigned in the English Liberal Cabinet on account of the Government pressing the Irish Tenant's Compensation Bill is described by Mr Redpatb, travelling reporter of the " New York Herald," as carrying out on his estato "the harshest system in Ireland." Lord Lansdowne replied to the strictures on the management of his estate, but the defence is considered weak. In his letter on our Tauranga contem porary Mr Vesey Stewart says :—" I have sent instructions to an English firm to forward your detailed estimates for supply of machinery connected with the manufac turer of bricks, of which I had some ex perience in this country ten'years ago, and among the No. 1 Katikati settlers some ex perienced bricklayers can be found. As well as I can recollect a good moulder can turn out upwards of 2,000 bricks per day, but Clayton's machine will turn out 10,000; and where labour in the colony is so much higher lhan at home every advantage should be taken of machinery,"
