A SHOCKING CRIME.

A Drunken Butcher Kills liin Wife.

At about 2,30. o'clocK on the morning of May 1, the discovery of a murder was made by two citizens who weie passing along Ninth-street, San Francisco, In the door way of No. 91, Ninth-street, they found a woman reclining on the steps, and hrard her groaning aa if in great distress, They raised her up, and discovered that her cloth ing was saturated with blood, and the blood was flowing over the stops and side-walk, She died immediately afterwards, and the body was taken charge of by the police. It was found that she had been stabbed in the thigh by some sharp instrument, which had severed the femoral artery. From the place where the unfortunate woman was dis covered there was a trail of blood to the door of the store, No. 80 Ninth-street. It was locked, and as no one could be aroused, the place was torccd open and the police oflicers entered. Passing through the front room, the trail of blood led-tho officers to a back room, upon entering which they found a man named Joseph Kenn lying upon a bed made up on the fluor, but not asleep. He was spattered with blood. THE SCENE. A broken coal oil lamp, the fragments of which were scattered about the iloor, was i found iv the room, and on and about the bed clothes the oil had been spilled. The bloody bed clothing with some ordinary furniture made up the contents oE thu room. During his search, Captain Short found a lari'C, Keen butcher-knife at the head of the bed, with blood upon four inches of its blade, and in a corner of the room a butcher's steel. THE VICTIM. It was ascertained that the woman who bad been killed was Kenn's wife, and that they bad recently moved to the place where the deed was committed. They were married, it was stated, about three years »go. Kenn, who worked in the Occidental Market, was said to be a man uddictcd to drinking to excess, and his wife had been compelled to leave him and take refuge with neighbours on several occasions. She had been in fear of her life for a long time, and is said to have informed friends that her husband, iv his delirium from drink, would chase her about the rooms, knife in hand, and seemingly with the pur pose or intent of taking her life. She worked as a seamstress at home.

THK PRISONER'S STATEMENT.

After he was locked up, the prisoner was questioned by several persons as to the affair, but said that lie had no recollection of committing any act of violence. He stated that he had been employed at the Occidental Market, opposite Second, on Market-street, and that on Saturday even ing he had been discharged He had about §45 iv his possession. On his way home he had several drinks, and then fuund him self followed by several fellows to whom he had foolishly shewn his money. He fled from them aud tvent home.

He said that for a few years back he had had a hard struggle for an existence, but that he was preparing for a hopeful future. He had purchased himself a suit of clothes and his wile some things to wear, and they had intended to go to a place of amusemeut together. He suggested that, perhaps, after getting into house, he had thought in his drunken con dition, that his wife was one of the men who was pursuing him, and that, under that impression, he had stabbed her.

EGYPT.

Revelations of the Pyramids. NEW Yokk, May 3.

A Cairo (Egypt) dispatch says : Masnero has just opened some more pyramids of the Sakkaro, inclosing the tombs of the Kings of the tifih dynasty. The mortuary chap els of each coiitaiu about sixty square metres of the smallest aud most closely written texts, giving precise details of the religious belief of that age. It is a com plete coup de grace to the Osiris Masonic theory, and all previous conceptions are entirely upset. Except the lindiug of the Hosetta stone iv 1799, do discovery in Egypt equals this in scienthc value. The entrance passage is difficult and dangerous on account of the loose blocks that encum ber it. An American Egyptologist aud a correspondent are the only persons allowed to visit the interior with Maspero. The latter explorer returns to Paris next month, and will publish the discovered texts. All the Sakkaro pyramids, about sixty in num ber, will be opened as soon as possible.

THE BURNING OF THE NICE OPERA-HOUSE.

Three Members of the Kenned}/

Family Killed.

Widespread regret will he felt at the announcement that Mr David Kennedy, ot Edinburgh, the well-known Scottish vocalist, has lost three members of his family by the burning of the .Nice Opera- House. They are—Mr James Kennedy, 23 years of age ; Miss Kate Kennedy, 19 ; and Miss Lizzie Kennedy, 17. At the close of the season's engagements, which terminated in the end of January with a Herie^ of most successful concerts in Edinburgh, Mr James Kennedy, in com pany with his two sisters, started for Nice to resume his studies for the third year under Signer Laniperti, a famous Italian teacher of music, tho young ladies accompanying their brother for the first time. They left Edinburgh about three weeks ago, and on Wednesday morning a letter wan received by Mr Kennedy from his son, in the course of wbich it was mentioned that he and hi 3 sisters proposed availing themselves of the opportunity of hearing the opera on the evening of the 23rd March. About ten o'clock on the following night a telegram from Mr Robert Kennedy, another member of the family who was studying at Milan, and had hastened to Nice on learning of the disaster. "It must be told—they are all dead. The theatre blew up, aud fell in suddetly; death was instantaneous." The lives which have thus suddenly been cut off were of great promise—Mr James Kennedy giving evidence of turning out an excellent baritone, Miss Kate prov ing herself a no less proficient contralto, and Miss Lizzie an equally satisfactory soprano. During the last season all three accompanied Mr Kennedy in his tour in the north and west of Scotland, finishing up, as already mentioned, with a series of concerts in Edinburgh, at the whole of which they acquitted themselves with distinction, alike in solo and pirt singing. The bodies of the two young ladies have been recovered, and the death of the young gentleman has been confirmed by his watch being found among the debris.

A DESPERATE BUTLER.

Murdei'ons Assault on a Lodging-

house Keeper.

About eight o'clock on the evening of May Ist the inmates of the lodging-house No. 704 i, Mission-street, San Francisco, were startled by the reports of a pistol, followed by the hysterical shrieks of women and cries of alarm by masculine voices. Officer Uaskell, who has rooms in the lodging house, was ono of the first to investigate the cause of the uproar, aud he found a wildly-excited individual flourishing a pistol as he dashed downstairs from the lauding at the head of the secoud llight. The oflicer at once hurled himself on the supposed murderer, and a crowd of lodger 3 rushed into room 21, close by, from which issued earnest supplications for help. The person in need of succour was found to be the landlady, Misa Kaebael Ellickson. She lay on the iloor of the room, which was rilled with the smoke of gunpowder, and at first it was supposed she was in the agonies of death. Officer Haskell having had time to question the prisoner and examine the pistol, found that every chamber was empty. The despair aud apparent Buffer ing [of the landlady iconiirmed the belief that the five bullets had found a lodgment in the victim, and all the physickins within a block were hastily summoned. It was found, however, that only oae bullet had struck her, and tha; as it had entered the flesh at the kit shoulder there was no cause for alarm. It seems that Miss KUickson, here neice, Emma Ellickson, P. H. Fallehy, Charles Erickson and Mary E. Claude were convers ing in a sort of sitting-room, when Charles Terrol, a butler employed by Mrs Fred. Castle, appeared at tha door and un ceremoniously Hum? a letter towaids the landiady. The act waii accompanied by the question : " Why didn't you answer my letter?", and was followed by the first shot. The landlady dropped from her chair

simultaneously with the report, but the would-be assassin continued to lire until his last cartridge was gone. As soon as he was douo firing he turned and bounded down stairs with the results already st-Ucd. His story iv brief was that he was of Spanish parentage, and hud been horn iv Algiers, During his residence of eight years in Cali fornia lie hail served as butler in a number of the wealthiest families, and while serving in that capacity with Mrs Fred Castle, he had become acquainted with Emma Jillick sou. Taking an interest in the girl he obtained the position ot cook for her ; but, being unable to perform the duties o£ the position, she was discharged after a few weeks' service. Then ho took her home to live with his wife and two children. She assured him thac his wife did not love him, but his love for wife and children would not allow him to believe the story. The magnitude of the bntler's lump of philoprogeuitiveness did not, however, pie vent him from taking the disconsolate cook on his knee, and their intimacy ripened with the tropical rapidity of a true Algerino llirtation. The seductive influence of a family range in an up-town kitchen interrupted the courUhip temporarily, but the grateful cook soon renewed her avowals of love by letter. She wrote to him frequently, arranging meetings at various places, and whenever she got his ear she tilled it with assurances of his wife's disre gard for him. On the strength of these allegations ho advanced her 75d015. lie assured the oih'ccr with sorrowful earnest ness that the moment Miss lLllickson received the Coin the tropical in fluence on his love ceased to have any cll'cct on her, and she repelled him with the polar frigidity of_ her Norwegian contempt. Finding himself duped, he became frantic and re sorted to threats of violence. The fickle manipulator of the stew-pan responded by causing his wife to be informed of the full measure of his faithlessness, and the justly incensed lady, to use his own words, "kicked him out ri«ht away from his home and chil dren." Ue stated that the sealed letter which he had tossed to the landlady by way of preparing her for the subsequent pro ceedings contained a full account of his sorrows as detailed. Ilia protestations of anxiety to die were loud and frequent, and lie assured the " Cbronicla ''reporter that his broken heart could never iig^in throb with joy of any kind, lie is about 36 years years of age. The cause of his despair is about 23 years of age and a Norwegian. She was not in the least unnerved by the mishap of her relative.

BLOODTHIRSTY NIHILISTS.

Warning the New V,~ar

St. Pjstkrsuukg, May 2,

The manifesto of the Nihilist Executive Committee, printed on the 17th of April, says :—The verdict against the Nihilists, who have just received martyrs' crown?, was dictated, as well as confirmed, by the Czar, The first act of his autocratic will, thus far, has been the hanging of women without waiting for his coronation. He lias sprinkled his throne with tlie blood of the champions of Nntiou.il right-*. Over the igravea of our colleagues, we publicly affirm that we will continue our etlbrt for the liberation of the people. We will no more be deterred by the gallows than were Zealoirefl' and the other champions of the last reign, After the event of the 13th of March, the Executive Commitlce informed the Emperor that the only means of reverting to the path of peaceful de velopment was by the way of an appeal to the people. Judging by the execution, the supreme power has elected to appeal to the hangman. Solicit. The committee defers from pronouncing any judgment on the general policy of the Emperor, but it declares this reactionary policy will lead to consequences more disastrous than the event which took place in March." The manifesto concludes by appealing to all those who would shake ofl"slavery toco-operate in the struggle for liberty.

WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

Skoclciny Human Sacrifices

The steamer Arnbriz, of tlio African Steamship Company, has arrived in the Mersey with mails and passenacrs from the Wc»t Coast of Africa. Her dates from Old Calabar arc to ths 13th February, at which time health in the river was g.iod. On the Coast generally trade was unusually dull. 'I he report of the Key. J. Milum's visit to Abomey shows that the custom of human sacrifices still prevails there. Mr Miluin is the General Superintendent of the Wcslflyan Mission Station in the Yoruba and l'opo district. He left Lagos on the 15th December last, and visited Porto Novo Gndoucy, Whydah, Gratid Popo, Aghway, Little Popo, Porto Seguro, and Abomey. During the missionary's stay the annual " customs " were being held at Abomey. Thesa were of the most horrible description, seyeral hundred natives being killed in the most barbarous nianuer, and offered iv sacrifice. The "customs" were observed, notwithstanding the presence of Mr Milum. Abomey is under French protection, King Gelele being the reigning monarch. Mr Milum had a conference with the King and the Prince respecting the re-eitablithing of a mission house at Whydah.

MURDER OF ABDUL AZIZ.

Itobbery of Treasure.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 23.

Four persons, formerly servants in the Imperial Palace, have been arrested, charged with the assassination of the late Sultan, Abdul Aziz. They have confessed that they suffocated him, after which they opened the veins in his arms to make it appear that lie committed suicide. Two ex-palace officials and an ex-War Minister arc also stated to have been implicated. It will be remembered that the vast trea- . sure which Abdul Aziz amassed mysteri ously disappeared alter his decease, and the then Ministry gave out that it hail been used for war expenditures. The present inquiry, however, tends to show that a con siderable part was appropriated by high oth'eials and others connected with the palace. A SLAVE I/ISEJIBOWKLKD. Pashas Noury and Mahmoud have begun to incriminate each other. Noury, for example, accuses Mahmoud of having causeda slave tobe disemboweled to discover whether she had swallowed a v.Vuable diamond which was missing from the treasury. During the examination of Fabri Bey, Chamberlain to Abdul Aziz, who is accused of an active share in the murder, although his victim had formerly conferred great benefit on him, the Sultan became very much excited, and declared that he could hardly refrain from taking vengeance on him with his own hands. On hearing this, the Chief Eunuch beat Fabri with his fists until the Sultan ordered him to desist.

It is now generally accepted that the reason for the Sultan's zeal concerning in quiry into the death of Abdul Aziz, is, that a serious conspiracy was organising against himself; in view of which he possibly thinks that exemplary punishment of the assassins will furnish the salutary example. The Sultan's two brothers, Jiulam Mahmoud Pasha and Noury l'asha, who are undor arrest, are suspected, having been deeply implicated in both cases.

THE DISTURBANCES IN IRE LAND.

Violent Outrages.

A telegram from Galway says a bailiff named King was seized last night by a gang of disguised men and roasted over a fire until he swore he would resign his oitice. King's condition is believed to be hopeless. A dreadful Fenian outrage was committed in Dublin about 9.30 o'clock on May 2. It appears that a young man named Bernard Farrcll, aged 18 years, lesides at 22, Cum berland-street with his father, a journey man butcher. The landlord of the house, A. C. Pugnn, employed youug Farroll to do some whitewashing. While engaged in that occupation he discovered two rifles cou cealed iv the houso and communicated his discovery to the landlord, who informed the police, to whom he gave the rilles. The police searched the house. This afternoon about 4 o'clock a young man, whose nume is unknown, called at the house and inquired for Farrell, who was out. About 915 o'clock another young in.m, also unknown, knocked at the door of the room occupied by the F.arrels aud inquired if Bernard was iv. The father replied he was not, and a second son asked the stranger why he wanted him. The latter replied :" 1 want him, thats all," and left. Iv about live minuten the neigh bourhood was alarmed by two re volver shots fired in rapid succession. Bernard, Farrell and a comrade named Kelly was returning home, and had just reached the corner of the street when the unknown assailant met and attacked them. Yonng Farrell was shot iv the neck, and dropped immediately. His comrade was also wounded. The only cause assisted for the outrage is revenge for Farrell having given information about the rilles which bore the Fenian brand. Farrell is in a very precarious condition. As Kelly, Farrell s comrade, was approaching the pursued him. The man turned and fired,

I slightly wounding him in the arm. A police constable pursued this would-be assassin, who turned on him and threatened to blow his brains out. The constable grap pled with him, and wrenched the revolver from him, while a second policeman seized and conveyed him to the police station. The prisoner refused to give any came. He is, however, known to be a gas-litter, named Mullau, residing in tjueen-atrcet. Miller, the gastitter, was rciuauded at the Dublin Police Court on he charge of shooting youug Farrcll. The other men, Kavanaugh ami Nicholls, will be charged with couspinug to assassinate Farrell. The doctors believe if hemorrhage supervenes the recovery of tho boy Farrell is bopdesa. Archblshoj) Cvoke and the Irish Question. Archbishop Croke, of Cashel, had to apologisQ in writing to Archbishop McCabe of Dublin, and, by his superior's order, in the amplest manner, for bid attack on the Archbishop's Lenten letter. The letter for which apology lnia been made was by no means respectful to his Grace of Dublin in its tone. More tbau this, it coutaiucd some passages which admitted of a con struction implying a disposition not to acquiese iv the authority of the Vatican itself, in ease that authority should bo cast against land reform iv Ireland. This open collision between the high ecclesiastical dignitaries is very naturally regarded in Catholic circles as a flagrant scandal.

London, May 7th,

A letter from Key. Thos. W. Croke, Archbishop of Cashel, is published, in which he says : " I cannot approve of the action which the Irish party are said to contem plate to exhibit their sense of loyalty to Dillon, .anil reprehension for his iirrest. An overwhelming majority of tho Irish people are in favour of giving tho Government a fair chance of passing the Land Hill.

Eublin, May 2,

Joliu Dillon was arrested at 8 o'clock this eveniug at Port A rliugtou on his way to Dublin, Ho wan arrested in the railway train upon a warrant dated April 30th, charging him with inciting persons to forcibly oppo.«e ami resist lJjo execution of thu process of law for giving possession of land, and inciting to riot and assault. On his arrival at Dublin he was taken to Kil raainuam jail. There was not the slightest attempt at a popular demonstration on the arrival of Dillon at Dublin, and but few persons present.

Great excitement was caused in Dublin to-night by the issue of a proclamation under the Coercion Act, proclaiming the County of Cork and the City of Dublin. Iv an urgent meeting of the Privy Council, liclil yesterday afternoon, after considerable discussion, this extreme measure was ic solved upon. There can be no doubt but that the object of the authorities is to arrest John Dillon and other prominent members of the Land League, who have recently delivered speeches which bring thorn within the scope ot the Act. This intendod action was kept profoundly secret, and the rumour which was circulated on Saturday night was not believed. Thcri) can be little doubt that a number of Fenian organizers who recently returned to Dublin, after the first scare had been passed, will find themselves iv a very unpleasant predicament.

Gladstone lias refused to give Dillon the Chiltcrn Hundreds.

London, May 4.

The manifesto of the National Land Laague of Great Britain,touching the arrest of Dillon, has been issued. It is signed by Justin McCarthy aud urges the Irishmen of Great Britain to evict their landlords as they themselves have been evicted, aud to wreak vengeance at the polls on the apos tates from liberalism whom they helped to raise to power.

Michael Breen was arrested near Cliftien, County Galway, on a charge of inciting to murder.

The "Times'" despatches say:—"Dil lon's arrest has not caused the slightest ex citement in any part of the country. On the contrary, it appears to have had a quieting eil'ect. Some of the warmer friends of the tenant farmers condemn Dillon's speeches iv the strongest terms."

London, May 7,

In the House of Commons last nuht a motion was agreed to that the House thinks something should be done to improve the dwellings of labourers in Ireland.

Forater, Chief Secretary of Ireland, stated that if the Government could see any way of proposing anything 10 ellect that object of the motion in the Land liill it would gladly do so. The "Times" says: "We understand there is a strong desire at the Vatican for some direct and authoritative means of communication with England, with a view to gaining more authentic knowledge on social qucstionn, especially those connected with Ireland."

May 6. —A. M. Sullivan had a long interview with Parncll last night, but declined to abstain from voting on the Land bill which lie and O'Connor Power support.

It is denied that Sullivan has written to Parnell declining longer to acknowledge the hitter's authority.

POLAR SEARCH EXPEDI TION.

Washington, May 2.

The Socretary of the Tieamry haa tr.ciis. mitted the orders which are to govern the action of Captain Hooper on the Thomns Coiwin iv his aparoachiiu; cruise to the Arctic. Nominally the Corwin goes to the Arctic to prevent frauds on the revenue ; practically ■'•lie goes to di'covcr the where abouts of the Jeiiuiiet'e, and if possible of the Mount Woolaston aud Vigilant, to rescue their crews and t'> bring them to home again. It is for this that the Corwin has been st'engthuued and improved within and without and furnished with double .supplies of everything usually found in shi|is stores. Her Commander, Charles L. Hooper, is a young.enthusiastic aud skilled mariner. He achieved more in that icy region lust summer than any predecessor, lie is in stiuctcdthia year to Bill for Berthing Strait*, and will stop on the way at the stations ou coast and island?, and tlicnco into the Artie. He is to use every means in his power to find the missing vessels, and in this attempt is to be guided only by his own judgement. It is believed chat he w ill find them, it they are to be found. The race between the Corwin and the Rodgera on this errand of mercy will be an oxciting one. Captain Hooper believes the whalers will never be seen again.

THE DEATH OF EARL BEA CONSFIELD.

t was intensely cold throughout Monday night, aud the morning papers on Tuesday told us that Lord Beaconsfield's progress was not satisfactory, that he could take no i nourishment, and that his slumber was ' heavy and unrefreshing. Three hours after this announcement was read in London, second editions of thepapers were published, which contained the announcement that Lord Beaconsfield passed away quietly at half-past four. At two o'clock on Tuesday morning Lord Eeacoußtield was seized with a recurrence of the difficulty of breathing. He than sank into a state of insensibility, which gradually deepened iuto coma. Shortly before his death he appeared par tially to recover consciousness and muttered some words, among which "1 am over whelmed" were only audible. While this expression trembled on his lips he made an effort to rise in his bed, but he sank back, and in a few minutes all was over. There were present at his death Lord Kowton, who, with Dr. Kidd, had beeu in the room all night; Lord Bar rington, who was sent for; as were also Sir Philip Rose and Dr. Quain. At the moment of dissolution Lords Kowton and Harrington held Lord Beaconsfield's right hand, while his left was clasped by Dr. Kidd. Mr Ralph Disraeli, who had visited aud scon his brother the previous afternoon, was also sent for, but he arrived a few miuutes after the end had come. In addi tion to those witnesses of the last moments of the great man whose names have already been mentioned, wore two nurses, one or two of tho domestic servants of the house in Curzon-street, and Lord Beacons field's valet, a man named Baum. The form which the illuess took was a regular attack of gout in several of the joints, complicated with severe bronchitis, which was a source of great dilficulty to tho doctors. From the beginning there took place daily and almost hourly exacer bations, followed by periods of relief, during which the patient seemed to rally considerably and become better again. About the end of the fourth week there were syraptons of decided improvement, the gout having disappeared almost en tirely from the joints, and the bronchitis having somewhat abated, though the attacks of spasm were never quite absent. But on Saturday morning last the east wind returned, and with it a marked arrest of the improvement. From tho first outbreak of his illnc-s, Lord Beacon-field, it is plain, entertained uo hopes of his life. He said more than once, that the hand of death was upon him, aud he accepted his fate with resignation, courage, and even cheerfulness. The fiarl'a will divides his properly between Ralph

j Disraeli, his brother, and Lord Kowton, his ! private secretary (Montagu Cony). It turns out that Hughenden was mortgaged, and the Earl died poor.

llomwputluc v. Allopath is. —D is

pate over Lord Beacons field.

Lord Beacoush'eld's illness has boeu the cause of a curiously characteristic controversy in the medical profession. Dr Kiud, Lord Beacoiislleld's medical attendant, has the reputation of being a homujpathist. As a matter of fact, he is a duly qualified mem bcr of tho College of Physicians, who is acquainted with homeopathic remedies, who occasionally combines them with the Jrugi prescribed by purely allo pathic doctors, and who always treated Lord Beacoualicld on allopathic principles. When Dr. Quain, of ilarlcy-street, was called in, he was informed of this, and asked Dr. Kidd to make a slatcuieut to that eft'oct in writing. Dr. Kidd did so, aud the pair of physicians have since theu acted amicably together. When Sir William Jenucr's advice was desired, ho displayed a little more of itiilexible punctilio than Dr, Quain, and poiut-blank refused to meet Dr. Kidd. Subsequently, at the Queen's special command, he visited Lord Beacons field. But he specially informed the world that he had never met Dr. Kidd iv consul tation. Dr. Qtiaiti has been attacked by many of his professional brethren for adopt ing the course he did, and for co operating with a physician who is tainted with the suspicion of homeopathy. The medical journals have commented ou the matter iv strong terms. Have things therefore, come to this—that when a human being lies at death's door, one medical man is to decline to meet another to save the patient's life—because that other may be suspected of scientific heterodoxy ? Dr Quaiu took the right n.nd tho dignilied course, aud public opinion is completely with him.

THE HON. J. C. RICHMOND AND THE ELECTORS.

[By Telegram. -Press association.)

NELSON, this day, The Hon. J. C, ltichrnond addressed a large meeting ot electors on Friday. Al luding to his career prior to his late absence in England, be said that those who knew j him formerly, would not find him sub stantially changed. Although he had been ranked aa an auti-povincialist, he did not regard abolition without regret as the vivid interest taken in local affairs no longer existed, Pro vincial councils had exercised a sort of official audit on the colonial finances. Referring 10 their original constitution, he blamed Sir Georgo Grey for endowing provinces with the land fund, which was the patrimony of the Colony, and should have given it the opportunity to construct railways without incurring further foreign debt. He considered the Land Tax and abolition of primogeniture safeguards a«ainst the monopoly of large estates. Ho favoured capitation to volunteers, but insisted on efficiency as far as possible. Consistent with treaty obligations, immi gration of Chinese should be restricted. ,He blamed the Grey Government for continuing expenditure, when the credit of the Colony was at stake, and a financial catastrophe was only avoided by a free use of the cable, fie recognised the ad mirable service then rendered by Sir Julius Voeel He appeared favourable to the Prorjerty Tax ann said he was a Socialist, and was j^lad to see that all the essential noints of the chartist programme had been carried out here where all classes must work together for the common good. He thought if railways were properly formed they would pay interest on their cost, and on the money squandered on other works. He advocated a scheme of general assur ing to provide against poverty, so that the aired and infirm should not be obliged to sfek relief as beggars. He was in lavour of the Nelson compromise on the system ot education, and would support a reduction « oms duties. Votes of thanks aim were paßscd.

NORTH, THE WELLINGTON LEVANTER.

A Carouse at Honolulu and its

Results,

The Swindle)' Tuimint/ Moral

Lecturer

Through the courtesy of Mr Fisher, of the Occidental Hotel, wo have been placed in possession of the narrative of an inter view which a friend of his, named Carlton, hud with Christopher North (the levanting Wellington publican) at fcjan Francisco just prior to the departure of the mail steamer. It will bo possessed of some interest, not only for the victims ot North's dishonesty, tmt also fur the general public. Carltou left New Zealand for California some two , mouths ago, and he returned yesterday en route for Sydney, and it was while ho was^ ashore here lust night conversing upon lua American experiences that he narrated the story to which we have referred. He said that on the Sunday alter his arrival in Vrisco ho went to Woodward'.s Guldens fa popular place of resort) for tho purpose of witnessing Bonic sports whicu bad been announced to take place there. While lie was strolling about he suddenly espied North in the company of a ealoon keeper named Street, brother of a quondam pro fessor of the tonisonal art ia Auckland. Having been well acquainted with the levauter at Wellington he at once went up to him, and was immediately rccogmsul^ aud welcomed. NORTH'S JUCULAKITV. Alter an interchange of the usual common places the conversation dlifted round to the state ot thiugs in New | Zealand whereupon North enquired with evident interest what was thought of his escapade. Carlton replied that ne had completely spoilt the sweepstake business by destroying the public confidence in the promoters of such schemes. North was very jocose, laughed frequently and in great glee, exclaimed at short intervals "By jove I did them well," '• Didn't I give them a b start, eh Boss," "That's lay trouble, old man," etc. He Baid that he had cleared out with £4600, that he was willing to pay any of his debtors whom he might drop across and that if Carlton had any clnim against him he was willing to discharge it. I Carlton, however, had not been bitten, aud therefore preferred no claim. HIGH JINKS AT HONOLULU. North then proceeded to describe his adveuturcs since leaving Auckland. After ciillintr attontiou to the fact that his face was slightly poekpitted he said that on reaching Honolulu he went ashore, got " on the booze," and missed lm passage. He secured an introduction to the King, joined htm iv a round of conviviality and made him gloriously drunk, the carousals ending with North being laid up with the small-pox. He was taken to a pest-house and confined there ior a month despite all his protests and appeals to be allowed to continue his journey. When at last he did regain his liberty he lost no time iv quitting the plague-stricken town and its ungrateful monarch. A PREACHING TOUR. I He also remarked that his wife and family were sojourning in one of the country dis. tricts of California, 100 miles away, and that he himself was just " knocking about" seeing the lions of the place prior to com mencing a preaching tour throughout the I States. He had heard that lecturing was a / aood line of business, and he intended delivering a series ot discourses on "The Evils of Gambling," with special reference to ths growing popularity of sweepstakes and their ruinous effects upon young men. His ultimate destination was the Cape of Good Hope, where he purposed settling down and enjoying life. A PARTING PROMISE. They talked together for some time longer, and North eventually took his leave, after desiring Carlton to inform en quiring friends in New Zealand that he was "'coming back some day to give them another turn." He appeared quite in different to the possibility of the news of his swindle getting abroad, and he heard with unmistakeable pleasure the con sternation which his flight had created. He was very jocular, and laughed immoderately over the matter,
