NATIVE DISTURBANCE AT HOKIANGA.

THE DISPUTE SETTLED,

(ihr telegraph.—own cokkesfondent,

HOKIANGA, this day. The natives near Otaua commenced fight ing over a cultivation on Wednesday last. They erected pahs, and on Thursday one mail was shot through both thighs—only a flesh wonnd after all.

Mr Yon Sturnler, R.M., returned from there late last night. All is settled, arid the natives havo dispersed. " The land is to be handed over to Mr yon Stunner and Eone Mohi Tawhai. • These are a quarrelsome lot of natives, •and will probably commence in a few months again. ■ I hear that the wounded man will bring his case into the Court, so that you will doubtless hear more of it. !

CORNETIST LEVY.

HE IS SUED FOR SUPPORT BY HIS

ENGLISH .WIFE.

ON Wednesday evening, at his residence in Harlem, Isaac Levy, the great cornet player, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff McGonigle, Of the Order of Arrest Depart ment of. New York county, upon an order to arrest granted by Judge Chas. H. Truax, of the Superior Court of this city, May 27th. He was yesterday admitted in 2,500d015, bail.. ,

In the year 1877 the marriage of Isaac Levy with Marianne Conway, daughter of the well-known actor and actress who for years managed Conway'a Theatre iv Brooklyn, was publicly announced in the newspapers as having been duly and legally consummated, and from that time they have. lived together as man and wife. But' rumours were prevalent at that time of 'a former marriage of the celebrated cornetist in England. THB CTNDITOECED LIVING WIFE. The action in the Superior Court is en titled 'Kiriily Levy against Isaac Levy, and the complaint alleges that on the 29th day of August, 1860, at the parish church, in the parish of St Georges, Eanover .square, Middlesex county, England, Emily was married to Isaac .Levy; that Isaac is an inhabitant of this city and Emily of the state; that by said marriage there are living issue— Vis:., Charlotte Levy, sixteen years ,of age, and Kobert levy, fourteen years Of age; that Isaac Levy has been unfaith ful to' bis marriage vows in living with ■ one Marianne Conway and others since 1877, and is now to living with said Marianne. The plaintiff prays the court for judgment that the bonds of matri mony between herselt and Isaac be dis solved ; that the custody of the children be awarded to her, and that provision for the support ot plaintiff be made out of the pro perty and earnings of defendant, as well as for the support of the children. MES LBTY WHOLLY DESTITUTE. ■ The petition of the plaintiffdeclares nnder oath that she was married, as above stated in 1863, and that they cohabited together' ds husband and wife in London and else where until 1873 ; the defendant is a solo cornetist and makes about £12,000 per annum; that petitioner is wholly destitute of means of support for herself and children, and has been for a long time dependent on the charity of friends. She asks that he be compelled to support them pending this suit. The summons is made returnable, June Bth, at 10 o'clock.

j; ; THE ENGLISH DEED OF SEPARATION, j ', The affidavit of. Emily Levy states that ; Isaac is migratory in his habits, and per • forms on his instrument in all parts of the world ; that about October 31st, 1873, after they had been married 13 years, a deed of ii. separation was made and executed in Lon don by said Isaac Levy and Emily Levy of the first and second parts, and George .... Grater and Annie Grater of the third part. . The > deed of separation is in the usual English style,, and is appended "to the papers. It states that differences having ; arisen between the said Isaac and Emily, it his wife, they have agreed henceforth to ,1 live separate and apart from each pthe'r, and that said Isaac Levy has agreed to provide for the maintenance of his wife ttje •yearly sum of £168 sterling, payable and ,i secured to George amd Annie Grater, arid !! to be applied by them for the benefit of tile ■ wife. ■!<■ ■■!•.:: ■ ' '.•_:••* >• ! v j el . CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN. ' J < ; The agreement gives the custody of the • '".children to the wif e. The indenture wit '•' nessesthatthe parties consent that the wif|e' snail lijre separate without taolestation from ; heir husband, in consideration of the pay ;! ment of the amount named for her support,, which shall be payable in monthly sums of r. ;£l4j! It guarantees on the part "of the Graters that Isaac Levy shall be freed from all obligations incurred by his wife, the , said Graters' becoming wholly responsible, for her pecuniary liabilities to tradesmen t and others." . ■ . :

'■ ■■['' WHAT DEFENCE OAH HE HAVE 1 ... .After the usual provisions, the deed being very voluminous and precise in giving the ] .-vyife ; entire custody and control of the children and of all property she then owneii ' arid, might inherit, she dying intestate her _, property going to the children .exclusively. ,; The agreement was executed'by Mr ana .Mrs" Levy In the presence of G. Vercide, 'solicitor, 29 Graven-street, Charing Cross, and by the Graters, in the presence of Joe • Brownett, Philip Silk, and Engineer Smith. (I'fi •'..•' ' HE,NEGLECTED TO PAY. '■' f ';; '■ The affidavit goes on to say that "from October, 1878, to the month of November, 1876," the monthly payments of £14 were. vpaidV but since November, 1876, Levy should have paid £770, but has paid only " the sum"of £204, the last payment'of £14 having been.made in March, 1879, and nothing since, WHAT THE GREAT LEVY SAID.

The affidavit of Mrs Emily Levy goes on. to state that her counsel, John A. fSolestier, had several conversations with Isaac, and endeavoured frequently' to persuade him to. contribute toward the support of his wife', to which he replied asfollows:'' . . ".I don't intend.to be annoyed in this matter. I paid the money until I got j to- Australia, and there I lost money'and, had none to give her, so, of course, 1 could not pay it. I have let Mrs Levy' have, the children, and I have this to' i say—that if she troubles tno with the.

old matter, or commences any law suit's against me at all, I will leave New York City and the United States, if-necessary, and go where she cannot trouble me any more. My profession is'such" that it does not compel me to remain iv New York, and with my talents and reputa-

, .tion/Lcan make a living anywhere, and you can tell Mrs Levy and her friends that 1 will pay the allowance under that agreement 'hereafter if I am able to do ' so ; : but remember if she attempts to 1 force me to pay anything or brings any suit against me, I will go away where the New York courts cannot reach me, and ' a judgment against me will not be worth a j, cent, for I have ho houses or lands, and , what I have got I can take with me."

The trial of the case promises some re markable developments in the history of the great cornetist.—N. Y. "Truth." , ~ \

BURDETTE'S NIGHT THOUGHTS.

Don't judge a man by his clothes. Can you tell what the circus is going to be like by looking at the Italian sunset pictures on the fence.

Do you value a turkey : for its plumage ? And isn't the skin of the mink the most, and, indeed, the only valuable part of him? There; be men, tair to look upon, who wander up and down this country, aud sit in the coolest places on the hotel piazzas, who are arrayed in fine linens and cardinal- socks, : and who have to hold their hand over their scarf pin when want to see the moonlight; who, unassisted and unprompted, do not possess the discretion to come in when it rains, and don't know enough to punch a hole in the snow with an umbrella new, soft snow that, without aDy crust on it. . . .-..'. ' " Now and then, son, before yon are as old as Methuselah, you will meet a man who wears a hat that is worth twice as much as the head: it covers. On the other hand, don't fall into the error of believing that all the goodness and honesty and intelligence in the world goes about .in shreds and patches. . . We have seen a tramp dressed m more rags than you could rake out ot the family ragbag, and more dirt and hair on him than would suffice to pro tect a horse, who would step up to the front door and demand three kinds of cake, half a pie, and then steal every movable thing in the yard, kill the dog, choke up the pump with sand, tram on the pansy bed and girdle the cherry trets because he conldn't carry them away. Good clothes or bad arc never an infalliablo index to the man that is in them.

THE GOVERNMENT CAUCUS.

THE MINISTERIAL PROGRAMME.

WELLINGTON, this afternoon. Since sending my last telegram, I have obtained the following from Ministers with reference to the caucus which Aias called to consider the 2eneral programme of Parliamentary business as now proposed by the Ministers to be carried out.

There was a full attendance of the party, every member who voted with the Ministry in the fecent division being either present, or " accounted for."

The Government intend to bring down the estimates early next week—probably on Tuesday—and also to introduce the Re presentation an Railways Constructions Hills during the week if possible.

The public Works statement will also most likely be delivered next week. It is not yet decided What precise steps will be taken in reference to the Local Finance Bills, and the Hospital and Charitable Institutions BilL

The Government suggested that every effort should be used to push on the busi ness of the session to a conclusion as rapidly as possible.

The proposals of the Government are understood to 'have [met with the approval of the party.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

MbChas. H. Wilson, the popular manager of the New,Wb.au mine had a niqst, miracu lous escape from serious injury or even death on Thursday morning, whilo in pur suance of his duties. He had entered the mine at the Sons of Freedom level and bad got about 20 feet up the ladder way between the North Devon passes, when he was astonished to find a shower of course mul lock rattling down all round him. Tnink ing.the descent of the missels was occasioned by the fracture of a board at the side or tbe pass, he made haste up the ladder in order to get above the supposed break, bat failed tof discern anything of the kind. On reaching the next level, imagine his astonishment on discovering that the actual cause pf.hia peril was a stupid trucker, who had ' mistaken the traveliing-way for the mullock pass, and discharged the contents of his truck into it. Mr G. Downie, seeing the man lift the covering, remonstrated with him, but was too late to prevent the descent of the stone. The strangest part of the occurrence is that although two or three hundredweight of stuff surrounded him, Mr Wilson escaped scatheless, sustaining not so much as a scratch. The men in the level above never expected to see him again alive, and their joy may be imagined when they behelp him emeage frpm ;the head of the ladder-way. The reason of the extra ordinary escapemay be ascribad to a great deal of tee stuff catching in the rungs of the ladder. Had any small piece struck him, Mr "Wilson must inevitably have been killed. —'f Advertiser."

THEATRE JtiOTAL.

The amusing comedy of '* .Extremes" was again produced at the Theatre Eoyal, by tho Carden Dramatic Company last evening. It was re markably well represented, and the audience expressed, its approbation by frequent applause. Mr and Mrs Lachlau McGowan, as Robin and Mrs Vvildbrier respectively, contributed, in no email degree to the amusement of those present, and the impersonations in both instances. were excellent. Messrs Garden, O'Brian, Elliott, Welsh and West, and Misses Marston Leigh. Tanner and Knight, and the other members o£ the company, all played the parts allotted to thorn in a finished manner. "Colleen. B&yra" and ''The .Young Widow" will bo presented this ovoriinß. and songs will be introduced by Misses Marston Lsigb and Maggie Knight. A dramatized version of "Frozen Dsep" is an ■ Bounced for Monday evening, with, new scenery and effects. The performance on Wednesday will be for the Bpecial benefit ot the Knglneer aiid Scottish Companies of "Volunteers, who assisted at the representation p£" Jessie Brown " during tha earlier part of the present week.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR GIRLS.

'" Civis " in the" Witness " thns moralises :^ The British census totals just publish re veal the distressing fact that there are in ;the,United Kingdom exactly 1,000,000 more 'women than men. The figures are 17,000,000 males, 18,000,000 females. In. all serious ness and Christian charity I call the.fact that so enormous a disproportion exists be ; tween the sexes a distressing fact. _ There 'area million women in Great Britaia'nvho cannot possibly be mated. Try to imagine the Heartache, disappointment, and weari ness of life represented by this statement. •Cfclliip'the lament of "Mariana in the mooted1 grange," waitiogand watching for the laggard wooer—

' She only said "My lite is dreary; j He cometh not," Bhe said; She said, "I am aweary, aweary,.. •,, i■. :»: ■: -I would that I were dead!" —aud picture a million Marians, who. hope, against'hope for the wooer who never comes, and in the nature of things never caa come. He never can come, for the sufficient reason that;he:.doesn't exist, Make ever; Jack choose his Jill, and there will remain an overplus of a million maidens all forlorn, for whom Nature has provided no partners NW a million is a Tery large number. It is more than twice the population of New Zealand. To bring the sexes to an equality England would have to people two colonies as big as this entirely with women. To keep the equality thus arrived at she would need to export 30,000 single women .a year —say .a shipload of 600 every week—for ever, which process, according to my arith metic, would remove a million in the life time of each generation. Only thus could the embarrassing prodigality of Nature in the production of women bo kept in check, failing this wholesale expatriation, which I imagine no British statesman will ever have the courage to propose, I foresee rocks ahead. The notion of "woman's rights is spreading, and what "woman's rights is so obvious as a woman's right to a husband?—(N.B.—That is, if she can get one.) Let the feminine mind once grasp the fact that Government statistics doom a million women to go husbandless, and we may expect a formidable agitation against the Government. When the Calendar was altered from Old to New Style, mobs assembled with the demand,." Give us back our elevenldaysrj Conceive the perplexity of an English Ministry called upon to deal with a League of Compulsory fcpinsters, formed to secure equality of the sexes by the abolition of the Census! Either that or polygamy would seem to be on the cards, snd perhaps, if we could divest ourselves of prejudice, Nature ißjhjntiDg at the latter aa the true remedy.

ADULTERATION OF FOOD.

Adulteration of food in Paris has as sumed such widespread proportions that the authorities have determined to wage a vigorous war upon the swindlers. The..Municipal Labaratory is kept very busy analyzing samples and devising means for detecting trade frauds. In April, out of seven hundred wine arnples, 60 per cent, were adulterated, and milk was in about the same proportion, Chocolate is another article in which manufacturers have managed to in* trodace, many foreign substances. In accordance with recent regulations there is now a Bpecial service for the detec tion of trichntee, and an ingenious in strument has been devised which can bo inserted into a ham without rendering the small holes' visible when the joint is cooked, and at tbe same time it withdraws.quite sufficient of the muscular portions to enable the microscopist to determine whether or not trichina) are present. The market in spectors are also beii><j trained in the use of a simple microscope, »nd a thoroughly syste matic method of testing all suspected articles of food has been established. Before long, therefore, Parisians will have some reason to believe that in.the matter of adulteration they aro tbe best-protected citizens Jn Europe. Alphdrise1 Karr formerly wrote: " If 1 poison my grocer I shall be condemned to hard labour for life ; if my grocer poison me,he gets off with a small fine." The same inconsistency still exists.

NEW SUBTERRANEAN RAILROAD.

New Yore is at length to have an under ground railway, The new line, however, will put London Metropolitan completely in the shade, judging from the long list of improvements projected by our Transatlantic cousins. Forty miles an hoar will be the: general speed, the huge engines being run by compressed air. The power for the compression of the air will be generated only at the termini, each locomotive laying, in its stock at the beginning of the trip, and as great storage room is thus necessary, the engines will be unusually long. Elec tric ligbt will .be used in , the, cars, which 'arc to be' built on the English model, with the seats from side to side, and there will.be practically two classes, two drawing-room cars being attached to each train. To insure safety, the trains — well fitted with ; hydraulic brakes—will be kept two stations apart, and will run in a double tunnel, so as to avoid collision, the noise of the passing trains being dead-; enedr, by asphalt laid under the' rails. Not the least curious part of the plan aie the arrangements for carrying on the building during.the busiest part of day without impeding traffic. In Broadway a' certain number ot paving-stones will be loosened during the day, and at night they, will be removed,the excavations begun,and immediately bridged over by a strong flooring of heavy plank, firm' enough to suppoet heavy traffic. Only so much of the street as can be bridged over before the morning will be removed, while, when the work is completed, the stone pavomont will be re-laid. As to the, sewer, gas, and water pipes met with in the excavations, they will be caught up with large chains and suspended to the frame work of the wooden superstructure, while the tunnel, when completed, is intended to be, far below all such pipes.—"London Graphic." '

V.'JsX cbrresdondent 'of the Kolnische Zeitung sends from Salonica a report of the victory of Dervisch Pasha over the Alban ians at the battle of Uucskub, which shows that this clever but unprincipled politician and soldier will not lose his roputation for cruelty. The Albanians stood bravely for four hours against the fearful rain of the Turkish cannon. There loss was 500 ''dead and wounded," while the loss of the Turks waß eighty men, thitty-nine of them wounded, according to the report. But it is evident that all the Albanians wounded were deliberately butchered upon the field, of battle, for among the wounded brought into Ueskuk after tho battle there was not one single Albanian, 1 poudent declares that the same fate was mercilessly dealt out to the few:, prisoners whom Dervisch Pasha took during the flight of'the defeated Albanians. Three villages were totally destroyed.

TO MILK CONSUMERS. A Rood deal bias appeared of late in the daily papers on this important subject, the tendency of which la to cause every consumer of Miik'W see that be gets a clean, pore and unskimmed article. We conßWer muoh that has beeri%Bai<l was called tor. While it is correot that there i* plenty .of room for improvement among milts vendors, -we feel siire that It would be unjust to regard the milkman generally as an object or. suspicion. We are convinoed there are many who, whether thoy get paid or not for the milk: they tell, supply it pare, unskimmed, cleanly, and delivered twice a day. ■ ' i\,h For onr part,-we wißh to Btate to our Cus tomers and the Pabllo what we, aa milk vendora, ■guarantee to do. We pledge ourselves:- I. To serve milk pure, sweet, and with all its °ril. Tobringit to townrtwic© daily (Sundays exoeptsd)', and let the consumer have it fresh. 111. To Bell no milk uDlesa produced from well drained farms and from well fed and healthy . .We wish it to be understood that only part of the mil* we sell ia produced by ourselves; tho larger part 1b from Epsom and the Mangara district, the miJk from which has hitherto peep made into butter. It is worthy of notice-thai tne cattle on these farms hare been selected more, for butter-making than inUk-BeUinß.Tinu hence' as a' rule give richer milk and less iv Each form from which we bring milk will ho periodically inspeoted as to drainage and water supply for cattle. The terms on whioh we con tract to buy milk from other producers are that it shall be frksh, jpurjs, sweet, and with am. cream, and that all vessels used shall DO thoroughly clearised. . " Doling the warmest months. of the year (from Sepfeniber'to June) the whole of our milk will be cooled over the Patent Milk Coolers, as used- by the Aylesbury Dairy Co, and Express Dairy Co, Of London, the two largest and most" trustworthy Firms ia England. JBy'this means the milk keeps Bweei several hours longer dnring the trying weather. We Bubmit the milk we purchase. or produce to Analysis at frequent intervals, and keep: at the Hobson-Btreet Dairy for daily übo, the. creamguage andlactometer. .•_ j,'r ~ , Amongst our employ6s we.offer.prizes fer cleanltneßS and conrtsey. :■. ■- ,■ ,' '. .
