THE CHORAL HALL.

(To the Editor.)

SlB, —Disreputable is the word to apply to the Choral Hall front. Broken panes, dis playing ugly, unplostcred bricks, dirty windows, sashes needing paiut, an ancient lamp-post—delapidated, rust-eaten, and leaaing over at an aDglc ot 45 degrees— these are the salient features presented to the critical visitor. Why does this discredi table negligence taKe place ? A call of Is upon each member would be sufficient for the necessary repairs, and I am confident that the City Council would kerb and asphalt the footpath if they were asked.— I am, &C, Credit's Sake.

THE HOME FOR NEGLECTED CHILDREN.

(To the Editor.)

gU5 ( —As one equally concerned with those that take an interest in the working of the Home for Neglected and Destitute Children, I would claim a little space [for a few re marks in "the good that we can do." If the Committee felt satisfied of the competency of Dr and Mrs Harvey in making the ap pointment to the management otthe Home, common sense aud justice demand that there should be full scope and time given in bringing about the necessary reform, other wise, the mere appointment of a gentle man and lady who have attested proof of their practical experience in the working of similar institutions is a farce. It is to be regretted that the public should be thus played with-onc day making an appointment, and shortly afterward, from some unexplained cause, giviug notice to quit. I believe that there is good reason for the public to find fault with the Com mittees of management, for, if I am right, the present master has not the liberty of signing a common order ; as formerly, I say that thia appointment is simply a farce there is too much management! "Too many cooks spoil the broth." No gentleman and lady of probity and experience could tolerate this confounded " busy bodyism," and carry on the work of the institution, aud the sooner a system like the " Tichener " is adopted, the better for the public. To expect this or that, of either the master or matron, and all at once, is an absurdity. The study of the individual character a3 developed in each separate child in the Home is an indispensible duty on the part of the master, who would know well to rule, and in the correction of the children according to their several ages, disposition, aud character. In some children there will be found such peculiarity, both mental and physical temperament, especially in this class of wails and stray?, that possess the hereditary taint of their parents in a marked degree, affording early proof of their depravity. The "Home' would naturally suffer from (his, for the social tendency in the inmates is so strongly marked, and the intercourse with those of more depraved tastes has no doubt fami liarised their minds, that they evem speak openly of their shame. To check, to regu late, to eradicate, n the work of some time, and were Dr. and Mrs Harvey angels just dropped from the clouds to perform this necessary work they could not do it all at once. As with parents, so it is with them; for when the innate depravity of our chil dren is taken into account, and the difficul ties in inculcating even a single holy lesson, we may be convinced that our most zealous efforts will be in vain without the blessing of the ' Eternal Spirit. Dr. and Mrs Harvey have at least proven their competency in the better discipline of the children, considering the means at their disposal, there being no arrangement in the construction of the building for classification; and as Mrs Harvey can personally attend tothc cutting out of the clothing and instructing the girls to make it up, there is the double ad vautagc gained. Dr. and Mis Harvey are strangers to me, and in making the above remarks I am actuated by no other desire than to see the thorough efficiency of an in stitution supported by the money that comes directly and indirectly from the public. Your suggestion, Mr Editor, re boarding out, is so far practicable for useful boys and girls; but the hardened type would become a nuisance to an industrious settler or res pectable family, aud the dread of contamina tion would be greater than any possibility of benefit. A reformatory is the proper place until thoroughly drilled into the ways of usefulness and virtue. A Home would still' be necessary for infants and small children, aa few people would care to take the small allowance for the trouble involved and the labour and anxiety attached.—l am, &c, J. Weight, llopetown-street.

|/)ur correspondent is mistakeu as to the readiness of people to take small children undsr.the "boarding out" system. Vic torian experience shows that tuese children are most souelit after because most can be made out of them.—Ed. E.S.]

Whitakcr, for defendants, said they would plead guilty, but as provision had now been made, the obstruction would not be repeated. Mr Pardy said he would withdraw tho 12 cases. His Worship found Mr Oliver guilty, and imposed a line of 5s aud costs. CFUKOKS AGAINST SAMUEL, BROWN. Samuel Brown appeared in answer to two charges of stealing Hpoous, knives, iiiul forks, value £7 10j, tho property of Win. 1). Dallen, confectioner, of Queen-btreet. Mr Tyler defended the prisoner. Mr Pardy conducted tho prosecution. William David iJallcu deposed that lie was a confectioner and ii'stamaut keeper. Knew the accused, who was iv tho habit, in April last, oi dining at his rooms iv Queen street. He frequently missed spoons, knives, and forks, at that time. In conse quence of his lo.sies he took stock once a week. Prisoner continued hi.s visits nearly up to tho time of his arrest. Tho silver spoons aud forks wero marked " U.U.," and tho plated articles slightly notched. Should not like to swear to all tho goods, as some of the marks had been partly erased, He could identify '25 forks, S knives, und several dessert and tea spoons fin hia property. Many others had been tiled, but not effectually enough to take the letters entirely away. The lowest estimate oJ their value wns £7 3a. Mr Brown gener ally came in about 12 o'clock. Prisoner w;is in the habit of gathering knives and forks and spoons together, and disarranging things. Spoke to him several times about his habit.

To Mr Tyler : Had known prisoner for sonic years. Had been a pretty regular customer during the last year. lie had no dosire to punish the man, but thought the ease ought to go on. He should not have appeared asaiust prisoner had he not been sent for. Missed articles from April until July. Did uot suspect the prisoner. Did nofwatch him. " X.11." Btood for initials of late Robert Hales, who disposed of t'lo articles to Charlos Burton. Iv October ho put a spocial mark upon his stock, but only two, a fork and spoon, were among the articles before; the Court.

Detective Jell'roy deposed that on the 21st December last he executed a search warrant on defendant's premises in Fort-street; was searching for other property uncon nected with the present case. Found the articles now before the Court Found them in a large chest of drawers, tied iv bundles of dozens and half dozens, with other articles of a similar character, since claimed by other person?. The prisoner was pre sent. Said lie bought the goods at auction, but could not. remember where he bought them, nor could he tell the date. Attempts to file out the letters had been made on nearly all of thorn.

This was the case for the prosecution, and the depositions were read to the prisoner. Mr Tyler said he would reserve his remarks, should ho have any to make, until the close of the next case.

Tho charge c.f stealing a number of kuivee, forks, etc., value £6 7s u'd, in the month of April, ISSO, the property of Edward Waters, of Queen-street, was then taken.

Wm. Hill, head waiter at Mr Waters' din inn-rooms, deposed to knowing the accuacd, who won in tho habit ot taking his meals almost daily previously to April lint. He suddenly ceased, and witness had novor seen him since. Witness accused him (Mr Brown) of pocketing a silver ton-spoon. Had been informed by a gentleman that Mr Hrown had taken a spoon. Consequently he marked a spoon, and watched the ac cused for several days. Tlio spoon th.it witness gave him with his tea lie put iuto his pocket, aod transferred another spoon from the sugar-basin to the tea-cup. He was about leaving, when witness challenged him at the door with taking the spoon. He denied it, paying he could not have done it. Witness told him he spoke positively. The accused then returned iuto tin; room, and walked about among the tables in a confused manner, witness following him. Witness then told him if he did not givo it up he would send for the police. Brown then tried to flhufile it on to the table, and it fell to the floor. Witness then picked it np, and asked Mr Brown why he did not give it up when asked to do so. He made made no reply. Mr Waters then spoke to the prisoner, and witness left him. Had continually missed knivo?, forks, ami spoons. Mr Waters had all his goods marked. (Witness here examined the articles, and identified them by monogram as thepropeity of Mr Waters ) Edward" Waters, confectioner, &c, of Queen-street, knew the accused, who had been iv the habit of frequenting his dining rooms. The remainder of Mr Watora'evi dence was corroborative. On the occasion of purloining the tea spoon, he told the accused that he placed himself in a very awkward position, and ho hoped it would be a caution to him. On taking stock in June, he found that he had loat 320 pieces of assorted cutlery and silver ware within the space of 18 months. The articles produced were his property, aud had beeu taken, without leave, from his premises. To Mr Tyler : Had known defendant about 18 yearn. He formerly held a good position, and wa3 reputed to be a wealthy man. He referred to years gone by. He had no wish ito press the charge against Mr Brown, who was a very old man, but the matter was beyond his power. Detective Jellery repeated his evidence as to discovering the articles in Fort-street. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on the three charges, in the lirst case, previously reported, by Messrs Hurst and Brett, Justices of the Peace, before whom the case was heard, and iv the last two cases by Mr Barstow. K.M. On the application of Mr Tyler, the prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in £200, and two sureties in £100 each. DAMAGNIG A PEACH TREE. Thomas Chennside was charged with wilfully damaging a peach tree, value 10s; the property of John McClennan of Albert street, on on the 18th instant. Mr Laishley appeared for the prosecution and Mr Alexander in defence. Mr Laishley said as there was no dis position between the parties to settle matters, and no chance of the case being heard to-day, he must ask for an adjourn-

menc. Mr Alexander offered no objection, and the case was remanded until Friday, the 25th instant.

THE AMERICAN DIORAMA. — THE TOO

TRIETOKS IN OOURT,

Thomas Herman and K. G, Bachclder appeared iv answer to three charges of selling tickets at the Theatre Koyal, by which means authority was gained by pur chasers to hare interest in a certain lottery or scheme established by defendants for prizes of furniture and other articles, in Auckland, on the 10th, 14th, and 15th of March, the same being a breach of the Municipal Police Act of 18C6, section 17. Mr Heskoth appeared for the defence and pleaded not guilty. , Mr Pardy eaid the information was laid against Messrs Herman and Batchelder, but as Mr Herman alone accepted the responsibility; he would ask for a with drawel of the name of Mr Bntchelder. He then described the manner of doing busi ness by Mr Herman. Coustable Jones deposed that he went to Herman's diorama on 10th inst. He saw and enjoyed the scenes of the Amencau War • saw also a number of presents on the stage for distribution—these were given away. He bought six tickets for half-a-crown enclosed in an envelope. Re opened the envelope, found five blanks and one prize, a clock, which he received. A boy named Richards handed the prize ticket to Mr Herman, who «aye out the clock; it went very well. Henry Mottram, in the employ ot Mr Herman, deposed to Felling the envelopes ; ut knew nothing of the contents. His business ended with the sale of the envelopes. , Detective Jeffrey deposed lo being at tile Theatre on the same night and explained the mode of operation. Did not purchase, but directed Constable Jones,

Nicholas Dunneford ; hair-dresser, Baw Coustablc Joneß open the envelopes ; ho bought G and got a prize a writing-desk a good article. Mr Pardy pub the act of 1867 and several documents in evidence. Constable Jones re-called. The clock has since stopped. Could not say that this was the caiiso of theprosccutiou. Mr Ucskcth made a few remarks, and said tho specific charge was that of selling and dispersing of certain tickets and of establishing v scheme of lottery, &c , the evidence only allowing that Mr Herman took part in the performance, aud not in the selling of the ticker?. Mi Tardy said that Mr Herman said he would take the responsibility, or he should not have asked to withdraw the name of Mr Batcheldcr who was the active person in the matter. liis Worship said there was, moreover, the element of chance to be considered. A person buys an envelope with half a dozen tickets, and there may bo one or two prizes, or they may be al! blanks; for instance, Mr Cunningham pur ciiaseil a packet and they were all blanks. His Worship said it did not matter so much who sold the tickots, so lone as they were sold under Mr Herman's instructions. Tho evidence was quite sufficient for a convic tion, and ho must find defendant guilty, His Worship said the law jtjvidcil that the penalty chould be £50, but he would only impose the lowest line, namely £5 with costs. At the close of the case, Mr Partly ex plained to the Bench that the reason the police had not taken action sooner was because the superintendent and him self were unaware that tickets for lotteries were being sold in tho theatre. Ah noon us that fnct caino to their knowledge they caused proceedings to be taken for the breach of tho law which was committed. Deiectivo Jeffrey had explained that tho rea son ho did not report it sooner was a doubt in his mind whether the form of lottery used came within the law. No mch doubt had ever been entertained by Mr Thomson or himself ? (Mr Pardy.) The other charges wero withdrawn. AN ACltl) MOTHER. John Galviu, butcher, was ordorod to pay 5s per weok towards the support of his mother. This was all the business.

DREDGINGS FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

SAVAGE'S STORY CONTINUED

Charley Savaso was now the proprietor j of one hundred wives, aud lived as a great chief lie waß so feared, that when the islands subject to Ban sent iv their yoarly tribute of mats, pottery, tapa, sinnot, aud all that was held as riches iv Fiji, it was lust of all laid at his feet; then he would way. "take it to the " Vu-ni-Valu," tho head chief of Bau. The inhabitants of this island consisted solely of chiefs, with tho exception of the Lasakau, a lislierman, and the slaves that performed Although Savage had many wives, he never reared any children but a solitary daughter. It is said that the "Vu-ni-valu" secretly gave orders that they were not to live. He was fond, in his own way, of Savage, aud yet was frightened of his courage, power, and influence, aud came to the conclusion that it would be daugerous if he raised up a race of his own. Savage by birth was a Swede, and had been reared in a very rough school. How he came on board the Buccaneer no one knows, but he uaed lo tell long yarns about South America and how they ran down the coast from Panama lauding every now and then to commit murder aud robbery, of the numerous Catholic chapols and nunneries pluuderod, and of the immense amount of treasure there was on board nil ship at the time she was wrecked on Narai reef. 1 dare say there will be diggings there some day. For many years Savage lived at Bau, , always coing out to light in company with the "Vu-ni-valu," always successful, until ha undertook to do some lighting upon his own accouut. You sec he had got so fond of it, ho was fortunate for some time, but the best of i generals sometimes get defeated and slaiD. i Well, this at last happened to him. His last night spent in Bau was thus described to me by his own daughter a short time since. She was then aa old woman, and died shortly after tho terrible measle epidemic in Fiji. She said as follows :—" I recollect my father well. I must have been about thirteen years old when he went upon his last war i expedition. He waa going to Mucuata, north Vanua Lun. We used to live iv a small house (bure) by ourselves; it was quieter aud snugger that the large one, where the women were always chattering and quarrelling. There was a great meeting of the chicfa that night. I knew it was a council of war, for I heard the herald deliver his message to my father to attend immediately. I lit a fat lamp aud lay down upon my mat, wondering whether father would come back alive. Finally I went to sleep. I was awakened by a noise, and upon looking round I saw my father pull the matting over the low doorway. He then eat down, and opened his box, and took out a canvass bag about a foot long; pre»ently I saw bright round yellow things in his hand. I know now it waa money, big money too. There were also lots of pretty things that

glittered and sparkled in the light of the lamp. I never saw such beautiful things |in my life before or afterwards. There were lots of "kanveilatai" (crosses) that flasffiled my eyes. I thought, "Oh ! how pretty, perhaps they are his gods, and I got rather afraid." I rose up quietly, but he heard me, aud told me to lie down and go to sleep, at the same time putting the things back in tho bag asquickly as possible. He then came over and kissed me, wishing me good night. He blew out the lamp aud went outside, taking the bag with him. I followed him, keeping close to the big homes so that he should not notice me, for there was somo moonlight. I watched him get into a small canoe and paddle across t6 the mainland where tho cliffs are. I guessed he had gone to bide the bag for safety until he came back from the war, but he never did come back, and the bag must be iv a cleft of those rocks sill, although the natives have often searched for it without success. Perhaps father buried it, but I know now that if I could linrt it I should be very rich. Oh those bright crosses, I shall never forget ""'the death of savage.

The result of the council of war wan that Savage was sent with warriors to slny, burn, and destroy tho offending tribes at Mucuata; or, in the language of diplomatists of the present day, he was sent to paciiicate them. But he reckoned this time without hia boat, lor his troops were not staunch, and got cut up badly by tho enemy, until at last but few were left, and he wan compelled with ten men to swim from tho mainland to a rock for safety. Even here bo fought desperately and fiercely, until at last all hia men were Blniu, and he was linally pacilicattd himself. Thin was the cud of Charles Savage, and Ban was in great grief when tho heard tho bad new, for he had saved thorn many a timo by his skill as a leader, when they were besieged by strong tribes that had atnalgimatud to ruin tboni. Savuiie was considered by the early whito lulliam) as a good man, in fact rather pious compared to themselves. You sec he did not mix much with them, excepting when he ordered them out for war, and thoy had to obey him, or woebolido the man that refused such duty ; it might bo thin, or that upon a few occasions be legged off some poor wrotchoa doomed to be clubbed that procured for him the name of having superior virtues to themselves; for as I Raid before they wore simply dfiuoni, and onomirngcd' all the bloodshed they possibly could. The death of Savnge did not eauso the wars to Cfiflse, and Bail became such n terror to tho Kijin.ua, that in their prayora to their heathen gods, they invariably begged to be delivered from liuu, which now liecniiio a rendezvous fur most of the abandoned whites, who often quarrelled umongHt thrnis-lves and fought, especially when drunk upon a spirit they distilled through old gun burrelH, with the aid of an iron pot. The natives were even horrilied at the wickedness aud atrocities ot these men.

TIKI SURVEY DISPUTE.

(To the Editor,)

Sir,— The article in the " Coromandel Mail " headed " !i'iki Survey Dispute" states that it is to be regretted that n dis pute has arisen over the amended survey of Ticrnan's lease by Mr Tole. The rest of the article it is not necessary to quote or comment on. I shall therefore proceed to state the simple facts of this so-called dis pute. Ist. I will dispose of the portion of the article 1 have quoted by stating that Mr Tolo'b survey was made by him in the pay ot and at the instance of the proprietors of Ticrnan's claim. The survey was not obstructed, neither is it recognized, and therefore is not an amended survey. 2nd. Nearly two years ago, 1 surveyed for Mr Han is what was then an entirely isolated claim, and soon afterwards a claim adjoining for tho McDonnells taking at the time the usual precautions in survey of isolated sections of marking trees aud burning pegs, &c. I have also in my possession the original plot of the survey, and also icy field notes. (3) OnMrTole's arrival^heic for the purpose of surveying the claim known as Tiernan's, I ottered him every assistance, walking up to the hill with him and oilering to show him the data from which Major Green's claim had been laid cut, but he (Mr Tole) did not appear to want that data, aud though ho had not previously been on the £»rouud he preferred to toko his own—or his client's course of survey. Had Mr To'.e accepted the data which I alono could point out, his survey would have been identical with my own ; but for reasons best known to himselt and his clients, he established a data of his own. I will say nothing of a previous survey by a Cadet. Chas. H. H. Lloyd. Authorised Surveyor of New Zealand.

OF the making of books there is no end," wrote an inspired author in the infancy of the world, thousands of years before the art pre servative of all arts was discovered. But book making now ia a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, now a-days tho world is almost " em barras dcs rocheseeß " of learning, " quaint and olden" and bright and now, embalmed in books. And much of this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, (uch as Caesell, Pettor and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only are the works issued by theto firms of the highest practical uso, but thoy are sent out in handsome exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progress that has beon made in book illumination. Nothing in oar opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home ho much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a niun from his library. The great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly every depart ment of literature Is the almost prohibitive price at which they are issued from the press, and ii is really a boon to society when works o: admitted excellence are brought within th< reach of persons of moderate meanß by th< admirable 8t stem of Time Payments. We oan confidently recommend our readers to tin splendid selection of Bookß at the premises o E. Wooding (late McGrendy, Thomson, am Niven), Took Importer, Quesn-street Junotion Auckland
