THEATRE ROYAL.

LYONS TOUBISTS.

LYONS TOURISTS, a "variety" combina tion which haabeen travelling in the South for some time past, opened in tho Theatre Boyal la9t night to a good lower house, Their performances, with the exception of Miss Amy Horton's character songs and the Wyburd Brothers' graceful skating evolu tisns, contain nothing novel, striking, or sensational, and, as public expectation had ran a little hl^h with regard to the en tertainment, some disappointment was the result. Thia may, in a large measure, perhaps, be due to the composition of the programme, which opened with " Conrad and Lizette," a melodrama inseparably as sociated with the names of Baker and Farron.and made familiar by them to the people of these Colonies. A company whichessays theperf.ormanceofßU.ch a recog nised specialty in towns where it is well known tacitly submits to be judged by a fixed standard, and therefore if an adverse decision should be honestly given it can have no just cause of com plaint. We do not think that anyone who has witnessed the Tourists' representation of " Conrad and Lizetto " would be ventme some enough to assert that it is at all com parable with Baker and Karron's. The com parison may be deprecated, but the mind in voluntarily institutes it. With the specialists whom we have named the piece was elabo rated to a nicety, the mise en sceno was highly effective, tho costumes were studied, the brogue of the Irishman and the Teutoa isms of •' Dutchy " almost perfect, and their byplay and funnyisnn wrought into the broadest farcicality. The Tourists, how ever, are but imitators of Baker and Farroa, and when their youth is considered, it must be admitted that they succeed very well. S. Parlato and Master S. McLean sustain the idles of Conrad and Tim Flaherty resDectively. They are clever lads, and make up very well, display much comic ability, are evidently at home on the stage, and sing and dance very creditably. Still their juvenility is against them, and 80 also ia the fact that we have seen and appreciated the prototypes whom they follow. Firron ia imitated even to his con stitutional limp, but the unctuous brogue, ao " racy of the soil," is wanting in some degree. Miss Nina Tulloch made a very fair Lizette, aud Miss Emily Fox a pass able Lucy. " Tim Flaherty" was sung with effect by Master McLean, and the accompanying dance executed skilfully, while Master Parlato and Miss Tulloch gave a number of songs and duets incideutal to the sketch very satisfactorily. "The Muldoon Guards," as usual, " fetched " the "Rods," After a protracted intermis sion, the second part of the pro gramme was opened with a serio-comic song by MiBS Jessie Leou, a sailor's horn pipe by Misses Tulloch and Fox, and some capital character songs by Miss Amy Hor ton. Until the entrance of this last-named lady the entertainment had been, to use an expressive colloquialism, "rather tame,1' but she immediately enlivened it, and in a very few moments had changed the bearing of the audience from indifference into active and applauding appreciation. She is a burlesque actress of coasiderable versatility, and her histrionic talents are enhanced by personal attractiveness, an agreeable and flexible voice, and rich costuming. Two consecutive encores marked the popular opinion of her. The Wyburds followed with a remarkable skating perfor mance. They are daring and accomplished skaters, and the ease and gracefulne'S of their movements, as well as the difficult character of many of their feats, gained for them round after round of merited applauso. Miss Fox and Miss Tulloch sang and danced again successfully, Master Parlato contri buted an amusing song, for which he was recalled, and Miss Horton favoured the audience with another character song, and then repeated it, after which the perform ance of an Irish farce brought the entertainment to a close. It is said that the Tourists carry with them a well-stocked repertoire, and if so it is to be regretted that they opened in "Conrad and Lizette." The company is princi pally composed of young people, and there "is certainly talent enough in them for purposes of public amusement if the selections ore well chosen and are associated with some originality. Miss Horton would' appear to advantage in any combination, and Misses Xulloch and Fox are capital danseuses, Miss Leon seems to possess ability in the serio-comic line, and Masters Farlato and McLean are certainly clever, while the Wyburds are aboutthe best skaters we have seen. A change of pro gramme may perhaps Rive the members of the troupe an opportunity of displaying their merits more advantageously. They perform again to-night.

A REMARKABLE EXPERI ENCE.

Thb recent experiment of Professor Yon Schweinhund, of the Polytechnic Institute, says the "American Traveller," promised to be of great interest to all philosophers, and especially to electricians. Although this promise was not fulfilled, it is, never theless, true that the experience in question was quite unprecedented, ami deserves the attention of all thinking men. On the night of the 21st December, Professor Yon Scnweinhund was spending the eveniDg with a number of friends at the residence of Smith, discussing the philosophy of the unconditioned in connection with lager beer. At abontl o'clock a.m., it occurred to him that Mrs Yon Schweinhund would be uneasy at his prolonged absence from home, and would undoubtedly sit up for him and welcome him with energetic hands in aa exceedingly warm manner. He therefore took a final glass of beer, put on his capacious luster, and bade the company iarewell. The night was exceedingly cold, and the pavement was unusually active in its motions. This, together with a weakness in the Professor's legs, due to the severe cold in the head, led him to pause by a Convenient lamp-post to collect his thoughts. He rested for several minutes and, summoning his energies, prepared to resume his walk. To his great alarm he found that he could not move from the spot. An unseen and unknown force held him tight to the iron lamp-post, and the most frantic efforts could not en able him to release himself. His firat impression was that he had been tied to the lamp-post by thieves while resting himself, but he could not discover the slightest trace of any rope, and was thus compelled to abandon tho hypothesis. Soon he began to feel a strange sensation—a cold current was running from his breast bone downward, and being a profound philoso pher, he reasoned that, aa he felt this cur rent In front, it must really be In active operation somewhere else, and was, un doubtedly, running down his spinal column. After deep meditation, he suddenly re membered that he had heard that certain streets were soon to he lighted by the electric light. He looked upward at the lamp above his head, and saw that it was not only extremely bright, but that it seemed to be divided into three or four separate lamps. _He now comprehended the mystery of his imprison ment. The lamp-post to which he was fastened was evidently one of those to which the electric light had been supplied. The electric current passirig throngh the iron lamp-po»t had been switched off by the attraction of his spinal column, and was flowing through him, producing a sensation of extreme cold, and fastening him with a force of several tons to the lamp-post. The horror of his situation now clearly stared Professor Yon Schweinhnnd in the face. He saw that not only would he be held to the lamp-post until some one should come to his assistance and turn on the electric current, but that in all probabi lity the electricity would gradually disin tegrate his spinal marrow, and thus either kill him outright or reduce him to a miser able, spineleas, gelatinous wreck. Moreover he feared that the cold produced by the current would affect his heart, and by dis turbing the circulation bring about a fatal result. In these circumstances he howled for help, but the silence of the midnight streets remained unbroken except by his agonised voice. About two o'clock two young men came down the street and, attracted by his cries, kindly stopped and listened to hi 3 story. In the most unfeeling manner they burst into a laugh and refused to give -him any help. They even made rnde remarks concerning beer, and told him that the cool nieht air was good for him. Professor Yon Schweinhund lost his temper, and addressed to them the strong est language contained in the German dictionary; but they only laughed the more and went ou their wicked and heart less way. It was nearly morning when a shapely policeman approached, and, after Hsteniig to the professor's pitifu story, Storfim: "See here, old man, if you re Sat drunk that you don't know you've buttoned your ulster round that there Cp-post/l guess I'd better take you in." Light dawned on the mind of the philosopher as he listened to the policeman and glanced at himself in

the glare of the bull's-eye lantern. There was a basis of truth in the policeman's remarks. Professor Yon Schweinhund had buttoned his ulster round the lamp-post, and had thus unwittingly made himself a prisoner. The coat was promptly un buttoned, and the professor resumed his homeward walk- Now that he was free, he rather regretted that his electrical hypo thesis had proved to be false. Had it beon true, he could have written a powerful pamphlet ou the subject.

ST. MATTHEW'S ENTERTAIN MENT.

THE last of the series of winter evening entertainments in connection with St. Mat thew's parish was given last evening in St. James's Hall, There was a large attend* ance, the building being filled to the doors. The programme included an opening concert, followed by readiugs and tableaux, the performance concluding with an amusing farce. An excellent orchestra was in attendance, and contributed io a large degree to tho success of the gathering. The concert opened with the chorus " Oh, Dear, What can tho Matter be," but this and succeeding pieco3 by the choir evidenced want of practice together. "Tho Keel Row" was the best rendered chorus during the evening. Mr Worrall followed with the " Englishman," and Mrs Tebbs was encored for her rendering of " Little Maid of Arcadee." Two character songs by Dr Dawson created considerable merriment. The part song, " When Johnny Conies Marching Home Again," was well rendered with the exception of the chorus, which was decidedly weak, con sidering the number of gentlemen on the stage. One of the best songs of the even ing was " Hope Told a Flattering Tale," by .Mrs Morrin. The lady was compelled to submit to an imperative encore. Miss Samson was encored for her song, "To the Maypole Away," and in res ponse she gave " Parting," which was certainly the gem of the evening. _ It was sung with considerable expression and taste. Miss Samson also very kindly filled the vacancy caused by the absence oi Miss Fleetwood, who was to have given the well known song "Barney O'Hea." Tom Hood's "Song of the Shirt," was read by Mr Percy Smallfield, and an effective tableaux fol lowed. Mr T. Barnett was encored for his capital rendering of " Paddy atid_ the Quaker," aud he favoured the audience with a character song. Miss DeLacy sang the ballad " Coming thro1 the Rye," very well indeed. She was also encored. The firat part of the programme coucluded with a reading from Sir Walter Scott's "Lady of the Lake," by Mr. Neil Heath, and tableaux. Morton's laughable farce, " Betsy Baker," formed the second part. Tho two leading characters— Mouser and Betsy—were excellently repre sontep by lit Dawson and Miss Reynolds respectively. They both possess consider able dramatic talent, and their parts had evidently been carefully studied. The other characters were fairly represented, but Mrs Mouaer could only be heard within a short distance from the stage. The entertainment concluded with the National Anthem.

RETURN OF THE JEWS To SPAIN.

" The Jews are to return" ia the topic of the day, not only in Madrid, but all over the dominions of hia Catholic Majesty King Alfonso. The significance of this decision is increased by tho disclosure that it em anated from King Alfonso himself. The Marquess de la Vega de Arraijo, Minister of Foreign Affairs, received a telegram from the Spanish Envoy Plenipotentiary in Constantinople, stating that an influential Hebrew had called on him and suggested that his persecuted fellow-countrymen, driven from Russia, badly treated in. the Danubian States, coldly received in Austria, dreading tne anti-semitio agitation in Germany, might turn their eyes to the country where in the middle ages their co-religionists had'in deed attained great prosperity. The idea of the Hebrew fugitives was, it seems, that their exodus might be turned from Turkey, where nearly 60,000 have arrived, to the shores of Spain. Ab soon as the Marquess de Armijo heard of this petition he referred it to Signor Sagasta, and they both agreed to take it to the King. Alfonso XII. had not listened to all the ex planations his Ministers intended to give him before he ihtereupted tuem.exclaiming that he most willingly hailed this opportunity of repairing an act of injustice of his ances tors, and that he would gladly receive the Hebrews, and assist them in resuminß in Spain their old poiition. King Alfonso desired the chief of the Foreign Office to telegraph at once his reply to the Castilian Minister in Constantinople. The action of His Majesty is approved even by enemies of his dynasty, and even Republican states men have' been heard to say that this is one of the most momentous aots of the present reign. It is ac cepted as a proof that King Alfonso, a Bourbon and zealous Catholic, will place no obstacle in the way, even »i a- Liberal Cabinet that desires, and, indeed, it is said intends to give the Eleventh Article of the Constitution as broad and generous an interpretation in favour of liberty of conscience as will place Spain at last, in this respect, on an equality with other civilised countries. Some Con servative papers, and all the Ultramontane organs, even in Madrid, have, however, attacked and ridiculed the Royal decision that allows the Jews to return to the couu try from which 160,000 of their ancestors were expelled in the reign of Ferdinand and . of Isabella. .

RICHMOND ROAD AND BROWN STREET, VERSUS PONSONBY ROAD BOARD.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—The old saying—penny wise, pound foolish—is amply verified in this neighbour hood. The Poosonby Koad Board in their high and mighty wisdom,—heaven save the mark I —saw fit to neglect to.do the roads; they simply beinglJimpasßable. Draymen and carters have had to take the path-tor it. Now paths are as bad as roads, and both mast be done. If tbey simply, in their addle-headed wisdom, only do the path, the same thing will only be reiterated, and they majr as well at once do both, Now, sir, how much better at first to have done the road and saved double expense. There is an old saying—" live and learn," but there are classes ot men who, as the Scripture aays, "are ever learn ing and never come to a knowledge of the the truth." Such are the magnates of the Ponsonby Road Board, but let us expect better things of them after Saturday. They actually condescended to, come and have a look, and, as seeing is believing, let us hope they will believe what they see and with a good grace do at once what has been neg lected for years and not give the lie to their own-eyes and the undeniable statements of the ratepayers and the facts of the case. All at once they have found a mare's nest in College Road, and by planting trees, they tell us, they will save Jus £40 per annum. This may be true, but I wiil ask them how many pounds they might have saved, -which have been lost, and will be further lost, it Richmond Road is not done. £180 or more was paid to cut it down, and that will be lost, and have to be paid again it the road is not metalled shortly. Save that, and yon will save nearly four years' sayings on the much-vaunted tree-planting. There are the paths to be done. Agaiu, if you had aaved that, you would have saved another £40, I think.—Yours, &c,

GOLDFIELD NEWS.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT

I COKOMANDEL, this day. SPECIMENS FROM BISMARCK. Rich gold was struck in the Bismank during last night's shift. They broke out thirty pounds of specimens, and almost the same quantity of picked stone from the intermediate level. Gold is still showirg in the stopes. A few picked stones are air o coming out of the rise from the low leve'. The specimens show a band of gold about three inches wide, very thick, in the stone.

Stodakt's cut a new leader yesterday. ~,Tokatka.—The reef looks well and inn proves as the level, advances. Water is coming in more freely.

MINING NEWS.

TokATEA G. M. C. — No. 7 level has been driven about 27 feet for the week, through country similar to that mentioned in last week's report. The reef has main tained its well-defined character, but no gold could be seen in the stone until this morning (the 13th), when the contractors obtained about lOlbs, of what may bo called picked stuff showing gold freely through the quartz and coarser than usual, Water is also making in the face, but not in sufficient quantities to have any effect upon draining the winze sunk from the van level. I believe that the gold now to hand is an indication that the level is approaching the lines of the old shot going down in tba level worked above, and that the reef will continue to improve as the drive goes ahead. On the 15th a few more stones were to hand from tho night shift.—John P. Hall.

Colonial. — Since my last report we have holed through to the winze, and can now communicate with the upper workings. The low level has been driven 5 feet thia week which makes the distance 47 feet. The leader is making strong again, but wo have not broken down for the last few days. The upper level has been driven 6 feet this week making the distance 19 feet. There have beon a few pounds ofpicked stone and good crushing stuff. _ Preparations are Being made for crushing as soon as the road is finished.—Geo. Stevens.

Thrush.—l beg to report that we have driven 10 feet during the past week; ,we have also excavated a paddock ready to receive quartz. The leader, lam pleased to state, has improved greatly the last day or two. The mullock seam mentioned in ray last report has run out, and solid stono 4 inches wido has taken its place. The stono is well charged with mineral and looks good enough to mako gold at any moment, It carries a email dig on tho hanging wall side, which is of great benefit to us, as both walls are hard and require blasting.—H. Thode.

Greenwood.—l am still pushing tunnel ahead which is now in 50 feet. Tho ground has been much harder for the last 10 or 12 feet, and progress is consequently slower. I have cut two small leaders carry ing good looking stono, but have not obtained any gold in them. I expect to intersect the flat reef which I opened up on the surface sometime during next week. I nmjilso prospecting the sunaco without any better result than mentioned in my last.— W. Regan, Manager,

Comstock. — Since I havo had tho management of this mino I have erected a blacksmith's forge, laid in a stock of timber, opened out the low level, and put down a permanent tramway 150 feet in length into the leader. I havo yet to erect tho trussell legs, when I intend to put day and night shifts to work on the leadeiy and deeming hard and constant work the best method oi procuring gold, I have put on an extra man in the intermediate level. I must con«

gratulate the shareholders on having obtained 190lbs. of good specimens. The general dirt is also first-class, and I intend to have a crushing as soon as possible.—A. McLean.

Eureka.—Since tho last report we or still driving on the main reef with good results. The reef has opened out to about 3 ft. 6in. since passing through the slide, and gold showing in the stone when broken down, in more or less quantities. We are also driving on another leader, which will junction with the main reef in about 20 feet, from which we expect to get something good. I may add that Barretrs are getting gold near our boundary.—M. Gibbon.

Bismarck,—B". A. White received tho follow ing telegram to-day:—"Thirty pounds or middling specimens last night from Btopo abovo intermediate tovel.—J. A. Dobsojs, Manager,"

Home Rum.—No 1 level has been driven a distanoa of 60 feet toward your Northern or Blaokmore's boundary; 22 feet from the faoe of this drive, a winze has been sank to connect with No 2 level. There are alto a few feet blocked out overhead, and a good block left yet to be worked. At 21 feet from top of winxe an intermediate a tope hag been put in and driven outwards for a distance ot tv feet with good results, as there have been several good hauls of specimens obtained from the same. There is also another etope over this for a lika distance with the game results, a»d a third startej, which shews gold in the face just now. No. 2 level is driven for a distance ot 120 feet or 101 feet to winze, with a Btrong body of quartz all along tue drive. We are also stoping from the level. The leading stope is driven towards your southern or outward boundary 40 feet. This in where I had 1501bs. of specimens from on Tuesday, and lOlbs since. The gold in the stope is of a heavy.ooaree nature, different to what was had overhead, or in wins-.*. We have a large and I should think a good blook opened up here, but I recommend that another lovol be started shortly for the fut ure working of the mine. You have others leaders in your mine un worked where good pros pects can be obtained. There muat be fully 100 tons quartz in paddock, with 22 owt. specimens and pioked atone.—Juhn Brbmner, September 11.

Kanii'SE (Coromandel).—The manager reports: Bince my last report tbere is considerable Im provement In tbe prospects ot the mine. Ist. The adjoining claim known as Bennet and Thooles' have disooveredanew reef aboutDlnohes thick, carrying gold 56 foot from your boundary, and runaing right through your ground. I in tend to drive for this reef next week, as I believe 1c will turn out a good payable lode. I have not boon able to carry on main level last fortnight, having been short handed, one man having been slot, but I opened out and drove on No. 2 oross lode with fair results, good dish prospeota being obtained, with a few good coarae oolou'B of gold in the stone. 28 feet ia the distance driven on this lode for the fortnight, which brought us out to daylight. My intention is to open out and drive on this lode on the other eido of mtin level, and should I meet with as good results I shall have to put In a lower level to work this lode. Its thickness is from Ito 6 inohes. The face of main level is all quartz, and it is my opinion that we are not far off another cross lode. lam carrying on aurfaoe trenching my self, and carryinir nice prospeots with me in stone, by orushing and dish-washiag. I have albo ereoted a blaoksmith'a shop, which I can assure you is very Bandy, saving both time and trouble.—G. Nobman, September 13.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The fortnightly meeting of the Board ©f Education was held this afternoon.'There were present: His Worship the Mayor (in the chair), Messrs Hobbs, Peacock, Prime, Moat, Goldie, Luke.

HUNUA.—The following tenders were re ceived tor improvements to teacher's dwell ing at Hunua : A. McLean, Papakura (ac cepted), £29; W. A. White, Hunua, £38 10s; M. Watkmaoßj Papakura, £39; C. Rhodes, Remuera, £53; James Page, Key North Koad, £60.— The Engi. neer's estimate was £37. SCORIA.-—Mr McDonald's tender for the supply of scoria was accepted. Tkn pkr cent. Kedtjction..—Mr J. M. Clark moved the following motic ns stand ing in hia name :—(1) That the resolution of this Board dated August, 30th 1880, authorizing a per centage reduction on salaries of teachers and officers of the Board, ba rescinded, and that all salaries accruing from and aEter the Ist September, instant, be paid at their respective rates without such reduction. (2) That the question of the salaries ot the officers of the Board be considered.—ln moving the resolution, the Chairman said the Government had de parted from the principle of the reduction, and it had only applied to Civil Servants for eleven months. It was only fair therefore that teachers should be placed on the same footing as CivE Servants. It appeared to him that there was no reason why the reduction should continue when the Government bad discontinued it. The only question was one of ways and means. If the reductions were discontinued, the difference would be £1,900. _If the it tendance at the schools did not increase the deficit would be about £190. There was now a credit balance of £2,500. If it were found that the deficit increased, they could again revise the scale of salaries. The bulk of the salaries paid in Auckland were lower than those in the other provincial districts. Mr Peacock seconded the resolution.— Mr Goldie said, without reference to the teachers, the cost of office management in Auckland appeared from the schedule sub mitted to Parliament to be greater than in the other provincial districts of the colony. The first clause of the motion was adopted, and the second clause was referred to the Committee for discussion. PRINTING.—Messrs Wilson and Horton and W. Atkin tendered for printing.—The i former was accepted. j (Left Sitting.)

A NEW LOCAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

FOR some considerable time past endeav ours have been made in the Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere to impress upon the Government the desirability of pro moting a closer commercial relationshp be tween New Zealand and the various fertile islands which stud the South Pacific — islands whose trade is rapidly developing itself, and which, from the propinquity to our shores, should draw hence the com modities which they are able to; produce themselves. The authorities have ap psared unwilling to move in the mat ter, and until recently their inertness seemed to auger ominously for thereßoluti n our efforts to wrost tho inter-island trade from our Australian competitors, handi capped by distance though they are. What Government Influence and patronage (ap pears indisposed to encourage, private euterpriso and pluck now proposes to accomplish. Yesterday an influential meeting of commercial men was held in response to a circular for tho purpose of considering the advisability of establish ing in Auckland, a powerful steamships co., whoso solo object shall be to foster tlie . Island trade and to make this port its entrepot. Mr J. C Firth presided, the idea was very warmly espoused, and with the utmoatcordiality the necessary reßolutionsfor the canying out of the project were passedi It was determined to form a company, to be called "The Auckland and South Pacific Steamship Company," with a capital of £500,000 m 100,000 Bhares at £5 each, 2a 6d per share to be paid on application, 23 6"d on allotment, and calls of 5s to be made at intervals of not less than three months if required. It was alap agreed that only 50,000 shares should be issued to the public at present. The fol lowing gentlemen were appointed provi sional directors :—Messrs J. M. Clark (Mayor), J. C. Firth, G. B. Owen, T. Morrin, L. D. ISathan, John Chambers, P. Comiakey, A. E. Isaacs, C. J. Stone, D. H. McKenzie, A. H. Heather, Hugh F. Anderson. J. L. Wilson, Gravos Aickin, and Dr Campbell. Already, 10,000 havo been applied for, and the names which wo have given place tho bond fide character of the undertaking beyond a doubt. As to the prospects of succefs, one has only to glauce at a map to discover tho advantageous position of Auckland for trading with the Islands, and to possess himself of some statistics with regard to their growing productiveness, to bo convinced of tho profitable nature of the proposed venture. The future is certainly alluring, and the merchants of Auckland have done a wiso and judicious thing in taking action before the conditions have changed. We feel assured that the shareholders of such a Company need have no mis givings as to the safety of their invest, ment, while its operations are carried on with vigour and spirit.

THE MURDERERS OF LIEUTENANT BOWER.

LBTTER FROM BISHOP SKLWYN.

The Rev. H. W. Mort, M.A., sends the follow ing letter to the " Australian Churchman " :— " 11.M.5. Cormorant, Boli, June 21,1881.

"My Dear Mort,—l must take advantage of the Cormorant's mail to send you a lino to toll you of my well-doing. You will have' heard ero thie, by the telegram which Cap tain Bruoe Bent to the Commodore, that he has been rery fairly successful in meting oat justice to the murderers of Lieutenant Bower. I have been using all our influence with the natives to get the men surrendered peace fully, and.so far as we have gone, have succeed ed, I hope, I am very glad of this, as I think the general run of the people look upon me us having done them a good turn, in preven ting measures being taken against them all generally; as must have been the case If the men had not been surrendered; and also becauss the calm, deliberate notion of the man of-war has been productive of great good. They all tell me there will be no more killing hereabouts, and I do not think thero will, especially as the Cormorant will be relieved by the Miranda. It has been, as you may imagine, rather an exciting time for me, but I hope that wo are well out of it now, and the rollot which I feel from the anxiety I hadabout this place—and, indeed, about our visit to all the Islands—is very great. lam also glad to state that the work here has hardly Buttered at all. The people in deed at Longo ran away when the Emerald came, and only came bach for service on Sun days, bat now they have Quite got together stcain, and flap! is able to work them as usual. lam going thero to-morrnw. I hope to stay a month, and I hear of a class of oatechumons there. As this Is in the middle of Kalikoni's country, and as I expected it would ba com pletely upset, I cannot be too thankful. •' Believe me to be, yours, " J. R. BKLWTTN, Bp."
