SODTHEBN OKOSS PETBOLEUM COMPANY. At a meeting of tho directors of the Southern Cross rctroloum Company on Friday night the tender of Mr Hugh Campbell was accepted. Tho tender in cludes the orcction of derrick machinery and dwelling-housos, .'and also for boring 1,000 feet, or until oil is struck. The directors have made arrangements with the contractors whereby a very handsomo bonus will be given if oil is struck, thus giving an inducement to thetn to prosccuto the work with the best of their skill and ability. Mr Campbell is an experienced artesian well borer, and Mr Parsons has had thirteen years' experience of oil-workiuc in the best school for such work iv Pennsylvania. It is an ticipated that the whole of the expenditure to be incurred under the arrangements which have been considered will only entail calls to the amount of one shilling por share spread over a long period. By liberality ou tho part of shareholders, as the work pro cresses satisfactorily, the directors arc con fident that in a very short space ot time the desideratum sought for will be obtained, viz., a return on tho capital invested by the original shareholders.

CORRESPONDENCE.

"GENTEEL LOAFERS."

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Yonr leadiug article of Saturday is well worth reading and pondering over. Many parents are greatly to blame for giving their children a so-called genteel education, and training them to look with contempt upon a trade or a tradesman. A situation in a bank or in the Civil Service Is looked upon as the great desideratum, with an early prospect of rising to be a bank manager or Colonial Treasurer. Mothers especially are to blame for training their children in such genteel notions. How many of them have to stint and half-starve themselves so that their sons may be quali to get a billet in a bank or in the Civil Ser vice. Moreover, in the majority of in stances, when such sons do get billet?, their earnings are all spent- upon their noble selves. Out of a billet, they have again to loaf upon their mothers and sisters, always waiting tor something "genteel" to turn up. The genteel loafing clerk trade is largely overstocked, and no sensible mon or woman can deny that n good tradesman is quite as honourable a member of society as one of those billetless, spiritless, moneyless, gentlemen clerks.—Youre, &c, A Parent.

WARNSDEDT'S CASE.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—While quite satisfied that the sen tence fiiven to the man Warnsdcdt was far too severe, I think it ought to be known, more particularly as the Justices did not call the complainant to give evidence, that the offence and language used by this person was of a very aggravated character, and not the Jirst to the same person, the language and threats made beingofa character that would liavein sured his being probably bound over,thecom plainant asserting that he was quite sober. I think this much explanation is due on behalf of the Inspector of Nuisances, as I observe a number of jokes being made at his expense, and amongst others, a face tious person writes to yonr morning con temporary, to the efiect that he will risk a fine of £10 by calling his attention to a nuisance, &c, &c, implying more than ho writes. Now, I believe the Inspector is a decent civil officer, and is only too glad when persons will take the trouble to bring under his notice by word of mouth or letter any nuisance he can remedy; but some persons secra to think that it is the right thing to bullyrag any public servant and use insolent and impertinent or provoking language. True, it is generally only from a class of persons who, having risen from the dirt, mistake impudence for iodependance. A mistake, evidently, was made in the judg ment of the magistrates, but tho fault does not lie with the Inspector of Nuisances, who, I am informed, was not even called to give evidence. Whether having done so the sentence would have been very diflercnt it is impossible to say.—Yours, &c.

MR NEWMAN AND ENGLAND'S DESPOT.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—Allow me the favour once more to have a phort space iv your valuable paper, that I may answer for the second and last time Mr Newman and his letter of the 23rd inst. I presume to understand Mr Newman's letters, and must Bay I have much prejudice against bigotry, but none against common sense, and liberty of conscience. First, then, Mr Newman is at liberty to hold opinions, and hunt up analogies from anything or every quarter if it fo pleases him. For my part, I shall not look to Russia for comparisons. (2) To flaunt continually before people's eye?, the black flag—death and destruction- and cry out this is the result of one particular trade, and assist not, in finding reasonable remedial measures; to the arcat majority of well thinking men this cry will become objec tionable, and Mr Newman be dubbed a bore. I ask Mr Newman what trade is there' that is not open to abuse. In my last letter I mentioned fanatic?, true.. I say again that man must be a fanatic and in heart a despot too, attempts to destroy a particular trade because it happens (hat particular trade does not follow "the same lines" as himself. This world is made up numerous component parts to make one con tinuous whole. Of those component parts trade ia one, established by man, and uuder that heading we find tue Licensed Victual lers' trade, in its pure and simple form, per fectly legitimate like other trades, save and except subjected to restrictions

and provisions by Act of Parliament. Then why destroy it ? I begin to think thero arc some peoplo who do not under stand the functions of tho licensing trade. (3) I said, "There are those in the trade who aro willing to assist," &c, &c. I will allow Mr Newman the benefit of thinking lam one of them. (4) The licenses, I must repeat again, are for the benefit of the public and hccuaaholdcr combined,—botli aro benefited. We Rive accommodation to tho public, tho public pay us for doing to, nnd when this system comes to an end (if it docs), I hope to find some other occupation less liable to the vindictive attacks of a bigoted people, of whom, I must nay again, Mr Newman is a prominont leader. (C) And lastly Mr Newman reasserts his opinion respecting hotel accommodation in Auek luud. Will I will reler him nowto the Auck land Provincial Licensing Act uuder which wejwork, there he can see what is required to hold a license, reminding him, at tlie same time, it would bo out of my province iv this Instance to pit one section of tho trade against the othor, respecting the accom modation it can oiler to the public. Suffice it to say, I believo all existing licenses arc in strict accordance with the requirements of the Act now in force.—Yours, &0., lIUIiKIIT ORAM, Prince Arthur Hotel.

MR GISBORNE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

WELLINGTON, Saturday. AT a meeting with his constituents at Ross, Wostland, Mr Gisbornc spoke in favour of dcuominatioutilism aud school fees. Ho said tho present system wns too costly. Regarding the financial dilliculty, he considered it had been caused by Boveral consecutive Governments. To extricate tho colony, the Government had adopted two wrong courses—by adding taxation to tlio necessaries of lifo and by introducing the property tax. Ho condemned the method of departmental retrenchment which had been adopted. The uniform rcduotiou of 10 per cent, was a mistake, and it was cruol and unjust, and hud already done much to demoralise the service. Ho spoke of the treatment of the West Coast in respect of public worki aa positively shameful, and indicated various works which he considered the colony ought to undertake.

THE LEADER OF THE BOERS.

A COURIi3PONI)BNT seuda the following account of Paul Kruger :—" Paul Krugcr, who now styles himself President of tlio South African Republic, enjoys a great reputation among his countrymen for caution, sagacity, aud courage. For many years he had been a well-known man in tho Transvaal, and la a noted leader of 'com mandoes,' or expeditions. He earned, it is said, his first laurels when quite a lad: now he must be nenrly sixty years ot age. A Boer commaudo engaged in hostilities against natives somewhere iv the Upper Wateis of the Vaal river received intelligence at tho close of a successful day's lighting that a Zulu impi was advancing to attack them. The Boers, all excepting Kruger, declined to credit the unwelcome news ; and, scout ing Kruger's entreaties tv keep a good look out, the men, tired out by their long day's fighting, lay down to sleep iv the laager. But Krugcr could not give up his conviction that danger was at hand. lie determined to watch, and persuaded a comrade to watch with him. Seated on waggon-boxes, on opposite sides of the laager, tho two men watched, rifle in baud, through the night, peering into the darkness. At length, when themormngmistswererising, Kruger's keen car caught the dull thud of naked feet ap proaching. Ho had just time to give the alarm, when, changing their cautious ad vance for a determined rush, a mass of Zulus with stripped and greased bodies charged the laager. Some of the enemy managed to get in, a fight with clasp-knives as well as with riile before the attack was repulsed. The few minutes notice gained for them by Kruger had saved the white men. Paul Kruger ia a ' Doppcr,' the most conservative sect amongst the J*oers. The religion of vhis sect is a Eort of Calviniem. They interpret the Scripture in their most literal sonse, and are specially in cliued to follow the example of tlis Israelitish leaders in their dealings with native tribes. Kruger has twice been in England as spokesman for his countrymen. Ho first went in the broad felt hat, iho short jacket, and ' veldt-schoon' (shoes of un tanned leather) which form the usual and re cognised cotsume of a dopper. On his return he met the astonished gaze of his friends clad in a high hat, a long black cloth coat, and the boots worn by ordinary civilised men. ' England was well enough,' he said, ' and there were fine houses ; but if a man wauted to go and smoke by him self, even away from London, every piece of the veldt seemed to be owned by somone or another, and if you sat down to smoke under a tree, you hadn't taken two whiffs before a man vould come and say the land was his, and he didn't want you there !' Kruger can speak no English, Once some years ago, when out hunting, his rifle burst iv his hand and shattered his left thumb. It was necessary that it should be amputated without delay lest the mangled part should bring on lockjaw. Kruger entreated his comrades to undertake tbe operation. One commenced, but gave it up. Kruger then took the job in hand and amputated the thumb himself. The small scab now remaining shows how firm and unflinching the operator was, and has excited the wonder of more than one surgeon. It is improbable that Paul Kruger would view with any feelings but those of strong disapprobation the outrage lately committed by the insurgent Boers. But he and the rebel leaders have started by per sistent agitation during the past three years a movement tho ending of which is hard to foresee. Many of tho lower class of Boers are men whose ignorance of civili sation and its laws is extreme; and when once the brute force in them is roused, it is hard to deal with except by brute force.

It ia said that every bullet has its billot. If this be true, the shipment of four millions of Martini-Henry cartridges to Natal, for use in our dealings with the Boers, should have a proper effect. But, says the Mel bourne " Herald," supposiug that wo take au average of 10 per cent, as sending a soul on its journey, we shall have the trifling total of 400,000. This is a curious calcu lation, and it is a startling one. Even though we take one per cent, we have 40,000 Boers sent to the rightabout. Take the matter as you may, with the smallest average, you must see that the slaughter and death which is suggested in this simple paragraph, "The Government have des patched four millions of Martini-Henry cartridges," are prim enough.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WHARF.

The pallor that whitens the skin nnd gives it a chostly shade, is directly traceable to some organic cans? The blood that courses in the papMcu under tho cuticle should naturally manllo the skin with its crimson glow, and just as this ruddy tint is an ovidenceof good hPalth, so Is its absenco incontes-tablo proof of some derangement of the system, possibly an osnoinic etate of the body.
