A MURDEROUS BARBER.

1 Hk Attempts to Dissect a Customer n? his Ohaih. I MAEION, Ind., April 14th.—Mr John Wai- I Uce.went into Warner's barbel shop to get 8 ihaved to-day. Warner had a new hand, a I dapp«r young mulatto, whom his customers I "Vere getting to like. Wallace waited until I : the mulatto's chair was empty, and then got I bit. The young man carefully lathered 1 -liia face, and" then, leaning heavily upon I )nm aDd holding his head back by a I {o>B«rtal grip upon his chin, looked him 1 itoigifc iv the eyes and said: "I am I .vgana to cut your throat." Wallace saw i that the negro was a raving lunatic I desperately in earnest, frothing at the I -month, possessed of abnormal strength 1 md gloating over his proposition. For a I soment he felt paralyzed. The barber I trnag open his razor, eyed its edge with '% itisfactiou and took a firm hold.

HORRORS OF AN ATLANTIC EMIGRANT SH IP.

I "riVidJy that the subject has been brought 1 before the House of Commons.

TAURANGA, this day. The enquiry was held before Captain Tovey, coroner, yesterday, and adjourned to Monday at 9 a.m. Many portions of the fire are not extinguished. The work of re-erecting the Tauranga Hotel and other buildings destroyed is to be commenced immediately.

REDUCTIONS IN ARMED CONSTABULARY.

(BY THLEGRAPII, OWN CORRESPONDENT,)

PUNGAREHU, this day. The returning prisoners are expected to^ day.

deductions are to be immediately made in the Armed Constabulary. Men are to be discharged sufficient to bring down the whole force in the Island to 600 men. This would leave 400 on this coast.

NATIVE LANDS COURT.

OWNERSHIP OF LITTLE BARRIER,

A SITTING of the Native Lands Court was held to-day in the District Court Building to decide the ownership of the Little Barrier or Hauturu Island. The Judges were Messrs Monro ond O'Brien, whiio Mr Ham mond acted as interpreter. There was a large attendance of witnesses. The owner- Rhip of Little Barrier was brought beforo the Court last year, Judge Kogan presiding, and it was decided in favour of the Kawerau, represented by flemare, Adam Clarke, and Paul Tuhaere. On that occasion the case was conducted for them by Mr K. de Thierry. Subse quently, a half-caste, named Tenetahi, applied tor a re-heariug, which was granted. He laid claim to the Island be cause he had been in the habit of cutting firewood there. Hemare, it ia said, gave him permission to do [so because his (Tene tahi's) wife, Kahui Iviri, is related to the Kawerau tribe, and is acknowledged as one of the rightful owners. The re-hearing took place laat month at Awaroa, Kaipara, before Chief Judge Fenton, and Mr Wm. Te Awataia, a native assessor. The list of ancestors was gone through, and the assessor decided that the conclusion arrived at on the occasion of the first hearing was correct. He therefore found in favour of the Kawerau tribe. Judge Fenton disagreed with this decision, and said he would cause a re-bearing. Notices were torwarded to allthe chiefs connected with the block, and the case came on in the District Court-room to-day. Mr J. A. Tole appeared for the Ngatiwai (or Tenetahi), aud Mr Jr!. De Thierry for the Kawerau. Messrs Paul Tuhaere and Adam Clarke objected to a lawyer appearing in the case. 'I ho Judge upheld the objec tion, and told Mr Tole that he might watch the case for his clients, but could not take any further part in tho en quiry. Evidence was being taken during the remainder of the sitting, and the case is likely to last for several days, The land in dispute is the whole of the Littlo Barrier, consisting of 6964 acres. Slfould the Kaweran tribe be successful in the suit, they iutend to offer it to the Govern - ment for sale as a site for a fort.

AN ELABORATE ELECTRIC APPARATUS.

AMONG the various elaborate and ingenious appliances carried by Professor Haselmayer is one of the mostpovrerf ul electric machines of its class which has ever been brought to the colonies. The induction coil in this machine consists of COO miles of very fine wire. The current is generated in a platinum battery, and is so strong that it is capable of producing a naked spark 25 inche3lon", and when exhibited in vacuum tubes the flame is no less than 28 yards! The coil is fitted both with the ordinary contact breaker and with an ingenious rockiu" apparatus for producing slow vibratory effects. It is insulated at the ends by means of massive circular plates of "lasg, and is covered in with vulcanite. Not only are the vacuum tubes of enormous size, but they are also of the most elaborate designs, and the effects obtained cannot fail to be of marvel lous beauty. Many of them are the Geissler's tubes, arranged in various star patterns upon a revolving disc. Others are on the principle of the Gasisot cascade and are practically q means for producing abso lute fountains and cascades of electric light, tinged with various rich colours. The light is also used to illuminate a beautiful de sign in coloured glass, "God have the Queen." The tubes are them selves marvels of glass-blowing skill and the greatest care is required in carrying them about when travelling, as it is impos. sible to get them repaired in the co.omes. The Professor has designed moat ingenious cases for their conveyance. We hope that oq his return from the Thames he will afford the Auckland public an oppor tunity of seeing this beautiful apparatus at ' work and an inspection of it will repay anyone interested in scientifici subjects. Some people have the idea that the bus! ness of a wizard is a marvellously simple one, but if they were afforded a 1 peep behind the scenes and saw the cases of properties—some of the moat ingenious workmanship, mostly executed by the Profeaaoi himself-they would i understand that something, more than a quickhandandeye is requisite. The Pro fessor has one inlaid table which was made of an immense numbor of woods by Mr Seuffert, of this city, nine years ago, at a cost of £100. Herr Haselmayer says that this table has been admired everywhere he has been, and among others who inspected it was Her Majesty the Queen. He pro nounces Mr Seuffert to be the most skilful workman he has met in all his travels, and, judging from the Professor's. own ingenuity in tnat direction, praise coming from him is no mean recommendation.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

COROMANUEL,

thi9 day.

Mr John Fitzgerald, oue of the lucky prospectors of lilackmore's claim, left for Auckland to-day, with a view, it is under stood, of arranging matters in connection with the formation of a Cumpauy, he being more favourable now the reefs have been tested and proved so good,

Gold is showing more freely in Black morc's reef the more it is worked on. There is a very rich leader running down the centre of the reef, which is about six inches wide. Every stone taken from it is richer than anything yet got out of the claim, and where left in the floor of working, the gold is stronger than ever, giviug every promise of going down. To-day specimens were also taken out of about tour feet in width of the face, a good show being left in fifteen feet of the reef whero stripped.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE RECEPTION OF THE PRINCES.

(To the Editor.)

Sic,—His Worship tho Mayor's motion in the City Council, " That the Financial Committee prepare a draft to bo submitted to the next meeting of the Council," rela tive to the visit of our Princes, all will, I think, agree with ; but that simply a ball should be given at which merely the monied classes could disport themselves, as sug gested by Mr Graves Aickln, will not meet tho popular feeling. Let the city be charged with a public reception ouly, and a Rood one, whilst those who desire to air their elegancies can surely afford to pay for it themselves. Let old Crowther coach the9e Princes of ours along properly, that we may look at them, and let them see that Victoria's grandsons can be honoured by fustian as well as by velvet. .What have Sydney or Melbourne to do with it ? We proudly call New Zealand the Britain of the South, and therefore, let us do it in our " own manner. Lot all our volunteers turn out, and few places can beat Auckland at holiday making. Your Worship-just you see to this matter, and oblige, LOYAT/TY. [There is a'good deal of practical wisdom In our correspondent's suggestions. But he is in error in supposing that city funds will be used for the ball. Those who attend it it will have to pay tho piper.—Ed. U.S.]

COFFEE PALACE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, There is one plea I wish to urgo upon temperance men in favour of the proposed coffee palace. They have individually been great gainers by adopting temperance practices. This effort ia about the first put forward on public grounds in Auckland to promote temperate habits and secure social enjoyment without the attendant evils of intoxicating drinks. From the sunn already saved to their families and them selves by their temperate practices it is as little as they can do to become shareholders in the coffee palace, and if five hundred men t&ke only ons Bhare each, it will secure the tnture success of the enterprise. Their example will en courage others, and larger shareholders will not be difficult to find, if we secure five hundred small ones. There is no reason tor anyone to limit his application to one share if he 13 disposed or can afford to take ten-but on public grounds as well as personal—by all means let every one identify himself with this movement, and as soon as possible, for the ground is under offer to the promoters for a fortnight only, and if sufficient encouragement is not given to tho movement, it may fall through.—Yours, & c Josehi Newman.

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE WITH THE TELEPHONE.

ALL is not gold that glitters, says an old proverb; and it would appear, from an alarming adventure recently undergone by a young married couple, that even the tele phone, benefactor to mankind as it is gener ally acknowledged to bo, has its drawbacks. The union of Edwin and Angelina, although it had lasted nearly twelve mouths, had been one ot unmitigated happiness; and, a few weeks ago, its felicity had been en hanced by what is conventionally termed "an auspicious event." The baby, how ever, proved invcterately vocal during those hours of the night which, in well regulated households, are usually devoted to repose. Edwin and Angelina, after some experience of this infantile peculiarity, resolved to relegate their too wakeful blessing to a remote apartment, where, under the care of a truaty nurse, it might scream comfortably, it such were its pleasure, from sunset to sunrise without disturbing its parents' slumbers. In case, however, some emergency of paramount im portance should call for Angelina's presence in the nursery during the night that room was connected with the nuptial chamber by a telephonic apparatus. Peace, as they: fondly believed, being thus restored to their" couch, Edwin and Angelina were sleeping soundly on the very first night after this arrangement had been com pleted, when baby's piercing shrieks, seem ingly produced in immediate proximity to their ears; suddenly aroused them. Look ing round in terrified astonishment, they perceived their treasure to be conspicuous by its absence, and hurried off to the nursery, where they found baby crying with all its might into the mouthpiece of the telephone, which mirse, untamiliar with the capacities of that ingenious transmitter of sound, had handed to the irritated infant "to play with," in the hope of pacifying its untimely emotion.

Sir W. Fox told his constituents the other day that education is maintained out ot the property tax, because but for the public schools it would have been unnecessary to levy that tax. We do not know whether to feel amused at the silliness of this state ment (or angry at its impudence. Why does the teetotal kuight select the educa tion vote and not the Governor salary—and Departmental extravagence as neces sitating increased taxation ? And what about the new Customs duties that were put on ? Doesn't Sir W. Fox know that the '.property tax gives only a mere trifle towards the interest on loans which were mainly spent in benetitting property ? And knowing that himself does he think his constituents such fools as not to know it too ?

An unpardonable outrage was committed (0-day in Franklin Road upon a poor Cbina nian who was vending his vegetables from house to house. The "celestial, on leaving a house, was suddenly and violently attacked by threei";notorious larrikins, named respectively—John Dinan, William Morris, and George /Williams, who were not satisfied with ..cursing and beating him about the head and back with a heavy stick, but upset his vegetables, destroying a number of cabbage, etc., to the value of 20s. The lads, whose ages range from Is to 21 have been arresited, and it is devoutly to be wished that they will have their re ward at the hands of justice.

OUR SPECIAL WELLINGTON TELEGRAMS.

. o (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. MAOKI PRISONERS. WELLINGTON, this day. The Hlnemoa left last night for the North with the liberated prisoners yesterday. The principal chief among the released prisoners waited upon the Native Minister for a short " korero." ! The conversation was very satisfactory. The chiefs proposed tlie most frieudly and peaceful intentions, and appeared void of vengeful feeliDgs. The interview was gratifying on both sides. While at the wharf several chiefs addressed the Maoris on the wharf, stating they had been, wrongly imprisoned; they had never committed murder or any crime, and com pared themselves to the stars which shone from heaven above them, and were innocent. They appeared in good (spirits when all were comfortably clothed, and left the wharf singing and cheering at times. A Pungarehu correspondent telegraphs this morning :—" Reductions are to be im mediately made in the Armed Constabulary in a sulKcient number. The discharged will bring down the whole force in the island to COO men. This would loave 400 on the coast." This is an exaggeration. It is not the intention of the Government to make sweeping reductions. What is proposed is to reduce, so far as notiilling up the vacancies goes, and uo further maintenance of peace is the great desideratum, and on no consideration will bo lost sight of. Peace will be best .pre served by being ready tor war.

Gentlemen,— I regret that I am unable, owing to unfore seen obstacles, to address you as usual, before the next Session of Parliament I, therefore, venture on this occasion, to rely en your indul gence towards me, with the same confidence as that with which yon have placed in my hands a most important political trust—one whloh'l havo always, with, the gravest anxiety, endea voured to fulfil. - - - I believe there are no political questions brought under your notice since I last met yon, in respect of which you are not acquainted with my views, except perhap3 the Representation Bill of last Session. That measure proposed, in a word, to abali9h " Eden " both in name and in boundaries. The former alone has become historic, aud I trust the constituency will aid me in resisting the passage of any simUar Bill if introduced during the approaching Session. I may further state that I entirely disapproved of the mode of retrenchment of last session, being most oppressive (especially m Auckland) upoji the wages and. smaller salaried qlas» of the public service, such as those officers in the rail way department, in the police force, in thei gaol, and lunatic asylum, &c, to whom respectively are entrusted the serious responsibilitiesi attach ing to the charge o£ life, property, order, and public monies. I hope the Government wiJI, without delay, remedy this injustice, ana to that end I shall render every assistance in my P°Th e er' imperfections of the county system have now undoubtedly, manifested them selves, the prophecies regarding its ut^er failure have been fulfilled, wnilflt the Highway Board, though limited in powers, have main tained their popularity. Consistently, then, with the opposition which I have ever entertained towards it, I am strongly of opinion .that the Counties Act should be repealed, to give place to a decentralizing and an efficient form of local Government, acceptable by the people, and withoutwhlch we cannothepo tosecure stability and national progress. ...... I think,Kentlenian,l need not hero address you further, beyond assuring you that you Will always find mo associated with the principles of economy and liberal reform, and .that I shau at the same time forward to the utmost of my ability the special interests of my constituency. i I havo the honor to be, gentlemen, ~!/.
