Thought it best to bring it to Court. Did not receive a month's notice.—By Mrl-aishley: The captain said that steam was not wanting until the after noon of the Thursday. He was not bound to Btay on board when the steamer was not going Within an hour of starting was time enough for the engineer to be on board. Was not drunk on the previous evening. Did not threaten to put the captain overboard; would not attempt such b thing. Only had one glass of brandy that morning. He did not say he would not go in the steamer, nor did he induce two men to leave the steamer.—To Mr Hesketh: as soon as the vessel got along side the Onehunga Wharf, the captain and mate went ashore; He stayed on board until seven the next morning; the mate accompanied him 30 the Railway Station; the mate knew he was going home to his wife and family; he returned by the one o'clock 'bus to the vessel; got there at 2 o'clock; he was not drunk; his services were dispensed with because he was rather late; the captain told him he had telegraphed for another man, and should not want him (plaintiff) any more ; he replied it is yonr fault, you should have given me orders. Mr Hesketh: I must call the attention ot the Court to the fact that the captain is listening at the door.—George Gyde, innr, gave evidence.

THE DEAD AND THELIVI NG.

(From th« " Harbinger of Light.")

"We were surprised to find the following in the " Wesleyan Spectator." It ia evident from it that the late Joseph Waierhonse was both a Spiritualist and a medium :— (The following paper was written by the late Bey. Joseph Waternouse, more than a year ago, shortly af rer the paragraph which we qnoted re ferring to Arohdeacon Innes had appeared in Victorian papers.— Kv. S. M. C.) "The morning before his death, the Yen Archdeacon Innes wrote and gave the Rev. J. W. Arnold a mem., ot which the following is a copy, viz: —"A lew nights - after poor Lissiman's death, I was In the house alone, and his room rattled so that I ran up to ccc what ie was. I looked into the "dark" room and "saw noth ing," bo I said, with a laugh to myself, •• it muet be poor old Llssiman. What do you want?' Then I had an answer, " not audible, but such as possibly a spirit oan convey," "Never mind you'll follow me soon. It was singular I never told anyone." Mr Lissiman died a month before the Arohdeacon, and the latter expired less than twenty-four honrs alter writing this singular mem." I believe a'l the above; I will give three instances in which the dead have appeared to me, the living. In the year 1872, one Sunday night, I was returning to Beeohworth from preaching at Stanley. I was met in the road by someone "who ]ia<i died, and 1 was told in a man ner " not aufiible, but Buch as po3Bit>ly a spirit can convey," that I waa to return to Fiji and preach the gospel there. Who it was 1 knew not. but I felt a presence, and got off my horse to promise obedienoe to the God of the mys terious messenger. . The following night I was informed by telegram of the sudden death at Sydney, on the night aforesaid, of the Rev. S, Rabone; and I "then beoame assured that it wan the spirit of the deceased Mr Rabone that com municated the message. More than two years previously he had said to me. "We shoU te wanting yon for another term of Bervice in Bvl-" My reply was, " When you speak, I will go. And thus I was told by my deceased friend to again return to Fiji. Many will smile, some will criticise ; but 1 believe the dead spoke to the living. In BaUarat in 1873 another dead one spoke to me, the living. I woke between one and two In the morning, and in a way "not audibl*, but such as possibly a spirit can convey," I was in formed by one whom I oonld not recognise, but who had died prematurely of a complaint un usnal for one oC his years (and which fact I then and there had from himself, that he had gone to heaven. He told the names ot some who were in heaven, and when I asked him if a certain paraon was in heaven, he replied in the affirmative, and mentioned the names of others also whom he had seen to be there. It seemed as though I were conversing sometimes with him. I slept more. In the morning I told my wife to prepare her mind to receive news of the death of somebody, as I was sure some dead person bad been talking to me, the living. At ten o'clock a telegram came from Beechworth, announcing the sudden death of Mr "W. B. Scarborough, on the previous evening, who had died in the manner named to me in the night. I had no idea of his illnoss, and was much taken by surprise, but the communication tallied with the felt presence; and, strange to say, the parties we spoke of were those well known to ua both. He and I had worked heartily together at Stanley and Beechworth, and it was of our mutual acquain tances that we spofe. My readers may cavil, but I bslieve the dead spoke to the living. The third instance I give took place at Navu loa, Fiii. This time I knew the dead speaker, but he looked younger than he was when l leic Melbourne, he wanted to see revival services amongst the Fijlans, and I seemed to go With him and show "ton how I conducted Ithe ser vicea, and appeared as much at home as he did when conducting similar services tuniself

amongst his countrymen. In the morning I spoke of my mysterious visitant, feared he was dead, but would write to him by next null. I entered into the college, and told the students that I feared from the presence of a certain revival minister with me during the night that he was dead. In due course the ni&il-Btotimov arrived, and the first newsDaper I opened gave an account of tbe sudden affliction and death of Rev. W. IJ. Lelean! The philosopher will say it was a coincidence, but I believe tho dead spoke to the living; and lam the better man for the visits of these three dead men to me, the living.

Another dead one, no longer amongst the dead, but amongst the living, has often spoken to me—Jesua being "dead, yet speaketh" to me, and I am what I am as the result of His voice— " not audible, but such as possibly a spirit oan convey."

I believe the testimony of Arohdeaoon Innes, Joseph Watbbhouse.

SALE OF NORTH SHORE FERRY COMPANY.

It is understood that negotiations which have been proceeding some time past have resulted in a final arrangement for the pur chase by the JNew North Shore Ferry Com pany, of the whole of the old Company's steamers, except the Te Aroha. The price mentioned for steamers and good-will is £9,000. If this purchase is finally completed the New Company will commence opera tions with the entire trade in their own hands. The visions of free trips and a glass of beer thrown in, which have been floating before the eyes of those Who antici pate a tug - of ■ warbetween the two Com panies, will thus be rudely dissipated.

PROPOSAL TO OPE t>i A MILLION ACHES. (BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The following important letter from in fluential natives, proposing to throw open about a million acres of land between Mokau and Taupo, much of which is be lieved to be auriferous.thas been placed at my disposal tor publication :— Tongaporutu, sth Sept., 18S1.

To Mr Macandrew and Mr Macdonald,

Friends — Greeting to you who arc there to carry out the duties of the Parliament, and to legislate in a manner necessary for our general welfare, that our improvement may advance in the eyo of the Lord, in the government of the world, and of this Colony. Sufficient on that point. This is a Word to you. Make haste and contract a marriage with our woman, that there may be bom unto us a male child. The woman we refer to is laud, and the child the Pon toma tetritory. The courting days are over, and something definite should be arrived at. We have deputed Mr Isaac Downs to explain the circumstances con nected with the land we now offer to you. He has received from us full authority to act in the matter, and will recommend that which we are desirous to have done. Be speedy and open up this land while we are strong to give it to you. This is our final word. Let the first thing be to send Europeans on the land, then money will follow. It is now wanted, but summer is near at hand. The fish of the winter season wiil not take the bait which is for the fish of the summer season, so do you be quick while there is a calm. I his is a good fish, and our giving up of this land will considerably advance the country. Delays are dangnrous. This is another word. Send us some money that we may be able to go before you to discuss the matter and place it ova more satisfactory footing. Waste no time.

REQUIEM MASS.

A SOLEMN requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the late Archbishop Steins was held in St Patrick's Cathedral this morning. The interior of the sacred building waa draped in mourning, and a catafalque stood in front of the altar rails. Clergy from every part ot the provincial district were present, the choir mustered in good strength, the ladies, of course, largely pre ponderating, and notwithstandipg the in convenient character of the hour there was a crowded attendance of worshippers. The boarders from the Convent School were pre sent neatly attired in black, and so also were the orphan children in their distinguishing dresses of blue. _ Miss Shanagban (organist) opened the service by executing Handel's "Dead March" from "Saul." Mass was then celebrated with impressive solemnity. The Vicar-General (Very Key. H. J. Fynes) officiated as celebrant, the Key Fathers O'Sullivan and O'Keilly acting as deacon and sub-deaon respectively, and the Key Father Walter Macdonald as Master of Ceremonies, while Lord Abbot Alcock and the Key Fathers Downey, Luck, O'Gara, Riordan, Golden, Fox, Paul, Breiken, and Cassidy occupied seats within the sanctuary rails. The choir sang Webbe's First Mass in O. minor, and the Rev. Father Downey preached the sermon. He alluded touchingly to the bereavement which the diocese had sus tained, and extolled the virtues of the deceased prelate. At the conclusion of the sermon, Miss Shanaghan played very effectively upon the harmonium Beeth oven's beautiful Funeral March. There was some delay in commencing the service, and business people were a little inconvenienced in consequence.

THE "HERALD'S" LIBEL ON THE SPEAKER.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,— The " Herald's" false and malicious libel on the Speaker and the Chairman of Committees, is now sought to be palliated by reference to the circumstance, that in the afternoon of that eventful Friday it was generally known that some decisive action would be taken ia the evening sitting. (Jf course it was so known ; aud why 1 Simply because Mr Seymour, the Chairman of Committees, had given an intimation to that effect, But, ia the name of common sense how could this furnish any excuse for asserting that the Speaker and the Chair man had been dictated to by the Govern ment, and had submitted to that dictation ? The shallow subterfuge is rather too futile. To anyone who knows Sir Maurice O'Korke it was palpable from the first that the alle gation of the "Herald" was simply a malicious falsehood.—l am, &c, LIBEEAI. Electok.

THE VACCINATION CONTROVERSY.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—There appears to be some misunder standing in regard to vaccine lymph which requires explanation. The following state ment may help to do so :—Cow-pox is a specific disease of cows, and cannot be pro duced by inoculation with small-pox virus. The" cow-pox lymph direct from a cow suffering from natural cow-pox has greater force and produces more severe local and general symptoms than that which has passed through successive human beings— in other words, humanised lymph is weaker in action than natural cow-pox lymph. So therefore, a cow vaccinated with humanised lymph would take cow-pox in a very miti gated form in the same way as a man in oculated with small-pox would have the small-pox in a mild form. One of the reasons given for preferring natural cow pox lymph is that humanised lymph may have become or may become too weak to act as an efficient preventative against small-pox. The question was lately asked in the British Parliament whether lymph taken from cows inoculated with small-pox virus was being used as vaccine lymph. The answer given was tbat such lymph is not lymph in the meaning of the Vaccina tion Acts. Vaccine lymph, according to the Act, is lymph free from blood or other impurities, taken on the eighth day from a Jennerian vesicle of a primary vaccination or from a cow suffering from cow-pox. Many persons who have been re-vaccinated ask if it should be repeated. One re vaccination is sufficient, if successful. The lymph derived from a cow vaccinated with humanised lymph is humanised lymph, and therefore not so powerful as natural cow pox lymph.—Yours truly, ■„„. W. G. Scott, M.K.C.S., &c. Onehunga, September 15th, 1881.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, speaking at a conference of clergy and Sunday- School workers at Lambeth. Palace, recom mended greater infusion of ranks into San day Schools, and remarked that where the children of the upper classes joined with those of the lower in receiving religious in struction, the best results Bad followed.

THE DEATH OF MR MOOR HOUSE.

Sketch of His Career,

(BY TELEGRAFH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON, this day. The greatest regret is felt at the death of Mr Moorhou.se, who was moat popular and esteemed as a politician and as a private gentleman. I send you the following sketch of his career:—llia illness began at Taupo, and was occasioned by his camping out in a tent in June last, which brought on an attack of pleurisy of a severe type. Having almost recovered from this, he insisted, des pite the protests of bis brother and Mr Sheehan, upon attending the Land Court at Taupo. The Court lasted two days, during which the weather was extremely cold. On the evening of the second day, be suffered a relapse of such an alarming character that medical assistance hud to be procured from Napier. He, however, became so tar con valescent as to be able to bear removal to Napisr, thence by steamer to Welling ton, where he was conveyed to his own residence. During the first few days after his arrival he again showed signs of con siderable improvement, and upon one occa sion Insisted, despite the protests of his friends, in attending in his place in Parlia« ment. He was, however, able to remain only a very short time. He looked fear fully worn, and several times had severe fits of coughing. On leaving to return home he bade " Good-bye " to a friend in the lobby in an exceedingly despondent tone of voice, in marked contrast with bis usual off-hand manner, immediately afterwards symptom of the disease which ultimately carried him off began to develop themselves, namely, abscess of the liver. The usual operation was performed by Doctors Grace and Henry about a month ago, and was, from a surgical point of view, successful, but two months of serious illness accompanied with much) physical pain, bad weakened him to such an extent that his constitution gradually succumbed to the strain of the operation, and from that time his friends were aware that his recovery was hopeless. Mr Moorhouse bore his pro longed and intense suffering with extreme fortitude, and maintained the natural cheerfulness of his character to the last.

Mr Moorhouae was the eldest son of an old Yorkshire family and per haps exhibits the most complete picture that could be given of the vicissitudes of a colonial career. So far as is known ot his Home career, he entered at the Inner Temple and was called to the Bar in the colonies. He has been a sailor before the mast, a driver of his own bullock team ia the province of Canterbury, a digger on BaUarat, and has pursued various other laborious vocations. Indeed columns might be written illustrative of the phases of his eventful life. He was the first person elected in this colony as a member of the General Assembly upon the proclamation of the constitution, and has been ever (since till he died in harness. It is almost un necessary to refer to the fact that he was a member of the Canterbury Provincial Council, and was for many years Superin tendent of the province ; that he has occu pied a seat in the Treasury beaches of the Colonial Parliament, and that he was in 1865 the mover of a resolution which defeated the then Ministry, and could, had he chosen, have constructed his own Cabinet. It has been said in the House by Mr Mac Andrew tbat he required no monument, for the tunnel known by his name, and still more graphically described as "The Gate of Canterbury," is the most enduring monu ment of his worth as a public man. Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say that the whole Province of Canterbury is a monu ment of the enterprise, of the foresight, and of the patriotism of William Sefton Moor house Looking back, as doubtless upon his deathbed he did look back, to the work he was enabled to accomplish in that part of the the Colony, he might have said, but for that diffi dence which characterised him in all his public actiods: "Alone I did it." Those who remember that time will not have for goiten the powerful opposition—nay, the ungenerous opposition—which was offered by a large portion of the people of Canter* bury, but he ftuck to the project with the tenacity of a Yorkshire tyke, and pursued it through good report and evil re port to its completion a public work which may be truly said to have made the province ot Canterbury what it now is. Sir-Julius Vogel, in the House and in correspondence with Mr Moorhouse, admitted tbat that gentleman, and not himself, was the author t of the Public Works policy, [and there can be no doubt that the example which was set to the rest ot the colony by the successful completion of the Christchurch and Ly Helton tunnel did pave the way to the adoption of a general scheme of public works such as that which afterwards found favour with Sir Julius Vogel.

THE NEW CZAR.

THE " London Daily News" says the Uzar, as far as pleasure goes, might as well bo in a splendid private lunatic asylum. Keepers surround him on every side, all His visitors are searched, and he known not even whether he can trust his keepers. The Czar's position is scarcely more enviable than, and in many respects greatly re sembles, that of the famous man in the "Iron Mask." .No ereiuer precautions were taken to prevent that enigmatic captive from holding intercourse with the outer world, so difficult and ob scure has the position become that des perate men might even attempt to revive a famous incident in Russian history. They might murder or secure the person of the Czar, and substitute for him another Emperor, who should be kept in the same inviolable seclusion. If the Emperor of Russia can be said to reign, it is as the Lama of Thibet reigna—a religious power, mysterious, and withdrawn. His every movement is beset with danger, and his short journeys have the perils of a forlorn hope. The Czar is said to be a man of great personal courage, and there seems little doubt that he will determine in the long run to face the worst, rather than exist in a living death, to pass a life like that of a rabbit which the ferret threatens in its hole. He has the wretched choice of living on in prisoned seclusion, or of boldly facing his enenms and lead ing his own life as if they did not exist; or lastly, of breaking with all the traditions of autocracy, attempting large reforms and taking a "leap in the dark," which cannot be more terrible than the present state of Russia,

It is stated by the New York " Herald " that Mrs Haliiwell- Phillips has just dis covered in Warwickshire a valuable collec ion of documents throwing considerable light on the social position and history of Shakespeare's connections in that county. Among other matters of interest, it seems that throughout the poet's youth his uncle Henry rented a considerable quantity of land under Bartholomew Hales at Snitter field, and, by a chain of curious evidence, the exact site of his farm has been ascertained. It was situated on the brow of the hill near the church, skirting the road to Luscombe. As Snitterfield is within an easy walk of Stratford-on-Avon, the youth ul Shakespeare must have been very amiiiar with the locality.

A few years ago Lord Fitzhardinge of England caused considerable talk among stock breeders by paying 4,500 guineas for a shorthorn bull, known as the Duke of Connaught. There were many breeders who thought a man who would pay auch a price fora bull was a fit subjectfora lunatic asylum, and so expressed themselves. At a recent sale of shorthorns at Liddington, Lord Fizhardinge, referring to the subject, stated that the bull in question had already earned him 7,000 guineas, besides procuring for him stock which had never been beaten. A high-priced animal may, therefore, prove in the end a very cheap and profitable one.
