ST. JAMES'S MUTUAL IM PROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

Wk have received a copy of the programme just issued by the Sect clary of St, Jamt ' Mutual Improvement Association for it first half of the current tcssaon, and Ui et fore take the cur iest opportunity of review' ing it. At the outset it may be said l] u i ii bouts conspicuous evidence of careful „} judicious compilation, Tlu moat effective members are set down for congenial, and at tho same time interesting subjects anl the arrangement of them has been mail with a view to variety while the iucoipora tion of several novelties assi ts material!. to enhance the general effect. Provision j made for four lectures, three debates a. 1 eight eusays.and two evenings are set'apart for short prepared speeches, two rnoi for readings from and criticisß» upon lenuyson and Victor H,,„ 0 ' evening for extemporaneous speaking an. one for a spelling bee. The lectures ar> " Marcus Aurclius : The Emperor-Phiin' sopher" by Mr J. D. Davis (delivered Ct night); "The Elizabethan Dramatists" by Mr J, L. Kinsella (a month hence) j '"ri. Political Destiny of the Australasia. Colonies " l/y Mr E, W. Burton, who thns mnken his first essay in political vaticina tion; aud one by Mr Edward Cooper the subject of which lias not yet 'h een announced. The lecture™ are capable men and great interest attaches to their promised contributions. The debates deal with political questions of more or less import .lice, while two of them have been vet. recently before the public. They arc •—(n " Were the French Government jusdßed in Dispersing the Religious Orders ?" (Mar. U 21st)—Affirmative Mr 11, S. p. Pcp c i t2er . negative, Mr Thco. Cooper. (2) "j 8 jj, ' Federation of the Australasian Colonies as an lulegral Part of the British Empire Ideferable to their Federation and Separa tion from the Empire?"— Affirmative Mr Edward Cooper ; negative, Mr 11. li a ' B iett. (3) "Is the In.h Policy of the Gladstone Cabinet worthy ot Support or Confidence ?" —Allirmative, Mr E. W. Button; negative Mr Jennings. The series of disputes which has recently transpired between the Hoard of .Education and the City School Committee is to be made the subject of a night's discussion, for we per ceive that Messrs W. (Joirie, J. I). Schmidt 11. G. Dorringlon, G. K. McNab, and c! McMastcr are announced for ''short speeches on Educational Centralism. J Another evening is to be consecrated to a softer aud mote engaging theme, Messts W. Cooper, A. C. Steele, P. Oliphant, F. Hammond, aud W. J. Napier having con*, scnted to "ornle" upon "Aifinity," "Love," "Flirtation," "Betrothal," arid Matrimony," respectively. The programme styles them " tender subjects," and apparently much discrimination haa been used in selecting experi enced men to expatiate upon them. On May 1G an interchange of essays will take place, Mr F. A. Cleveland of the Baptist Society exchanging wiih Mr J. M. Geddis, aud Mr C. J. Smyth of St. Andrew's Society exchanging with MrE. W. Burton. Tbe subjects of the other essays arc : " The Testimonial Nuisance," "The Fancy Bazaar Nuisance,'' "The Duke of Marl borough," " The Duke of Wellington," !' The bight lion. W. E. Gladstone," and •'The Hitrl of Beaconslicld," and tho the wiitcrs urc Messrs A. Id. Reid, W. J, Geddis, A. Harms, W. Baker, J. Gow, and E, Wc^t. The readings from Teuuyson and llu^.o will be pre faced by critical sketches from Messts W. Cooper anil J. M. Geddis icspectively. The " Spelling Bee " will be conducted on a new method. There will be a selected list of words, and after the competitors have gone through it those who have made the fewf st mistakes will receive the prizes. A slip or a first mistake will therefore not be followed by dismwsal from the ccntcst. I he half session ought to be both profitable anil interesting.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT AND ELECTRIC ROWER.

Tiif electric light does not mako much progress in this country, although those interested in it lose no chance of developing its use, They are endeavouring now to introduce it inlo the London clubs, and have already pul proposals before the piincipal of those palatial residences in and about Pall Mall. Perhaps there is no institution in which the electric light i 3 likely to be less acceptable. Clubs, what ever their political bias, arc all extremely conseivative in regard to comfort and jray of life. In the matter ol lighting memo-t ---are most paiticnlar. Gas even is commonly tabooed ; in more than one aristocratic establishment nothing but wax candles aro burnt, at an enormous outlay, of course, thoughout the club. The mere suggestion electricity, with its glaring brilliancy and occasionally spasmodic light, would be hateful to the regular club man. Although the light might with advantage be used in basements, passages and kitchens, it wonld i.ot be tolerated in the morning and other living rooms, at least until many modifications and im provements are introduced. Mean while it is being largely adopted for street illumination, in New York cspeci.lly, where three-quarters of the Broadway were satisfactorily lighted by it. A further and perhaps more feasible outlet for elcctriciiy is in the performance of mechanical work. The Edison Light Company expect to do a good business in letting electric power for elevators, sewing machines, and lifts. In ihe latter a new invention of Dr. Siemens was shown at the Mannheim Exhibition, where, in the course of a few weeks it con veyed eight thousand people at a rate of ono toot and a half per second

SOCIETY OF ARTISTS.

(To the Editor.)

Sie,—ln connection with the forthcoming Exhibition of the above Society, it is aunounced that there is to be an "Art Union " for the disposal of works of art, On enquiring about tickets, 1 find they can ouly be purchased by those who are honorary members of the society; thus shutting out the general public. This strange regu lation seems to roc calculated to rob the Exhibition of a large part of its us cf illness, If the object ot the Society is to promote the study or art the only eifectual means of doing so is by trying to make it, pecuniarily profitable. No doubt artists should devote their labour aud time aud thought to the study for its own sake, and to prove what we so constantly hear—that "New Zealand is the Natural home of the artist," &c, &c. He ought to go on pictures, the certain fate of which will be to stick on his own walls or be presented to friends who will kindly and condescendingly hang them up for him. But, un fortunately, artists arc only mod, and thoy " must live," though some people don't sou the necessity of it ; aud unless they can sell their pictures, not many of them will bo able to devote their time to painting; and I understand tbat the only means of getting pictures off the artist's hands is the Art*, Union. There in a dim tradition that a picture was once sold at a previous exhibi tion, but that seems to have becu iv tho remote past. These things being so ought not tho;o who arc seeking the promotion of art to endeavour to make the Ait Union a success ? Ought not eve oue not ouly be able to buy tickets, but to be invited to do so by conspicuous advertisement? Might not the stationers be asked to sell such tickets, and to display some announcement to that effect iv their windows, even though they might require_some small commission for their pains. I think the only reason that art does not yet flourish in this province is that artists find such difficulty iv making- it pay. There nre those who can and would paint pictures if there was any hope of disposing of them without resorting to the miserahjo; expedient of a private lottery, even tfi'ough it might be dignified by the name of au " Art Union." B.

The Lords of the Admiially have under considei-tion, says " Truth," the propriety of replacing the small .chooners employe in cruising among the " savage " islands of the Pacific by vessels of larger build. The perils of tho service received a grim illus tration a few years ago in the muidcr of Commodore Gocdeuough ; and the assassin ation of Lieutenant Bower and his comrades of tho Sandily has, I am glad to think, precipitated a change which lias long been manifestly needed. Why not use gunboats whoso shallow draught and swift movements independently of wind, render them so suitable to this particular service ? At the present moment the Ad miralty have stowed up iv Poitsmouth a number of gunboats, which have net been employed tor years, yet are in every way suitable for cruising purposes. Tbo schooners of the Saudlly class are small, and in bad weather both unci 111T0 table and dangerous. Mr Brassey has been holding orth on the same text.
