Just IN Time.—A few weeks ago this portion of the goldfield was almost deserted, and it is very pleasing lo note the contract since the above company commenced opera tions, from quietness to tho activity dis played in pushing on the several expensive and important works, which are seen fast progressing towards completion. The posi tion of the Coromandel Just in Time Claim is undoubtedly good, the Union Beach being situated on the west side, the Premier on tlie north, and the lona to the south. It is supposed the reefs as yet discovered arc a continuation of some of the Union Beach reefs When prospecting the No. and No. 2 reefs 26 tons of quartz was crushed at the Union Beach Battery, which yielded the handsome return of 2030_s of incited gold, and was sold at tbe bank for ;£f)BG 16 lOd, and averaging over 7ozs per ton. '1 hat shews ample proof of the rich character of reefs, and the valuable nature of this company's property. They are now busily engaged erecting a 12 horse-power portable steam engine, with winding and pumping gear attached. The work is being carried out by Mr D. Bate, engineer, whose services were engiged by Messrs Eraser and Thine, Auckland. The most import ant portion of the works are nearly com pleted. The foundations for the engine, with the necessary frame-work of strong timbers are well put together, and the heaviest parts the engine fixed, the balance-bob bjing also in position. It is anticipated the machinery will be ready to start pumping and winding by tho end of this month. A well-timbered engine shaft has been sunk 70 feet by hand-labour, when water was met which retarded fur ther progress until the machinery was icady. 'Ihe management intend to sink the shaft 100 feet, and then drive to Jthe No. 1 and No. 2 reefs—a dis tance of some 60 to 70 feet—which will open up a large block of ground for immediate stoping, and if the usual good prospects are met with, the shaft can be sunk to any depth as required. Captain Thomas, the managing director, has taken the greatest interest In this com pany's operation, personally directing the works, and generally supervising matters. No doubt will therefore exist as to the final result.

Colonial.—Work as usual is going on in two parts of the mine, one promising looking leader with gold occasionally showing.

Thrush.—This leader was cut at 97ft., and the company is carrying on operations with wages men.

ROVAL OAK. — Sutherland's tribute crushed one ton of general stuff, and a par cel of picked stone for 24J ounces of re torted gold.

.Stanley.—The manager is working the mine to the best pbssible advantage, and having got through a lot of dead work essential to permanent operations, is now in a position to take down the leader. The men are now working on the leader, and a fair show of the precious metal has been seen in the stone lately broken out.

Hope lodged soz». 5 dwts. from a parcel of stuff crushed during the week.

Vaughan and Vizard's (Matawai)—On Satuiday last, fifty pounds of specimens were obtained on breaking into the cap of the reef at a distance of 30 feet from the spot where the first gold was got. A level has been started to cut the reef below where the gold was originally struck, and a body of quartz lias been intersected, but it is not yet ascertained if it bo the same reef as worked above. A little gold has been seen in the stone taken from the latter workings, A road Is much required to connect this claim with the battery, |as good crushing stuff is now coming out of an eight feet reef believed to be payable throughout.

Tokatea reports the past week operations the No. 7 level call for few remarks. The contractors have driven 15 feet through a well defined channel of country, carrying a strong leader about two feet thick, and having all tho indications of gold bearing, but beyond the few stones mentioned in my last memo nothing has come to hand. Tne country still continues good with a fine body of stone on the footwall, well mineralised, and looking very promising. Wc will break down to-morrow afternoon. A dig bavin" come which enables us to stopc the leader for a few feet without in tetfering with it. The contractors have about 25 feet to go to finish the present con tract. In the stopes a few colours can be scon, but the country is broken, and leader very irregular. Intermediate level—a large reef has made in the level from 3 to 4 feet thick, and laid on the footwall the quartz looks well, and as the face is within 85 feet of the winze gold may come in any moment—John P. Hall.

WIVES OF MEN OF LETTERS.

"WrVES of Men of Letters" formed the subject of a most interesting paper read to the members of St. Andrew's Mutual Im provement Association, on Thursday even ing last, by Mr John Blackman, one of the vice-presidents of the society. The au dience was small, but appreciative, and lis tened with close attention to the admirable essay. Mr Blackman, in opening, said that thero wae a popular belief that men of letters were nearly always unhappy in their married relations, and a number of well known names were continually being cited in support of this view. But while it was undoubtedly true that not a few men of genius had mado unfortunate marriages, an undue prominence was given to that fact, and the hundreds of cases in which literary men had formed most felicitous alliance were passed unnoticed. Thus a false im pression was left on the popular mind, which tie would endeavour in some measure lo correct. Ho began by referring to the mar ried lives of Shakcspcre and Milton, and passed on to notice the marriages of Dry den and Addison as examples of ill-assorted ccuples. The wife of David Ga trick was described at some length as in every way a helpmeet to the great actor, and Mrs Words worth was sketched in a most favourable, light, showing her to have been worthy of the poet's high praise, as

" A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort, to command; And yet a spirit still, and bright With something of an angel light," The conjugal felicity that marked the lives of William and Maiy Howitt, and of Mr and Mrs S. G. Hall, was also dwelt upon as showing how literary men may find partners in complete accord with them in mind and soul. Some personal recollec tions of William and Mary Howitt were given by tbe essayist, and the lady was warmly eulogised as tbe very ideal of re literary man's wife—at once beautiful, ac complished, and a perfect honsewife, not ashamed of the every-day duties of life. Notices of the wives of Sir Henry Fawcett and President Garfield concluded the paper —a quotation being given from a letterhy Mrs Garfield, wbicli held up the character of that lady in a most favourable light. At the close, Mr John Reid, vice-president, who occupied tho chair, and others present, offered some congratulatory remarks on the paper, and a warm vote of thanks was ac corded to Mr Blackman for the attractive way in which he had presented a subject so rarely touched upon. Jor Thursday next it was announced that the business would consist of a debate, ori» subject to be fixed.

CORRESPONDENCE.

THE 800IAL KVIL AMD ITS CAUSE.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—The thanks of the community ere don t~ you for exposing the extont of our '' eoclol evil » as you have Done in your bsue of Monday last. It •'rlghteousaep (or right doing) oxalteth a nation." we are far removed from that m-iiLS at present. Very tew people livinKTOtMdi'tho city, and many tnat aro living within it cinnn? have been aware of the Btato of soolety around us. But it is useles regretting the eva^S we seek to remove it. I have very little _j?h S retreats or asylums for the outcasts of so1m« ---far batter strike at tho root of, and ?__.£_ the cause that produces tho evil. As society I? present exists, all the censure is piled nnnn ti_ victim, and tho men go free. So longffifi.9 who are tho loaders of society, will invito&. their parties men who aro known to be"m,_ tlonablo in their habits, so long will thi- ■' ~ evil "tnoroase upon us; Let the educaWvi? tuons ladles amongst ub frown upon this Hoi. and their very look will prove a w_ov__i?S society. And If they aro not supposed to know then let their husbands or their brothers mii them (as they oan do) in such a w_v «. will not blunt the finer feelings of rh_£ nature. Then we have a lower class tw the " upper ten," who are dependent uDon thoS own exertions for a maintenance. Thm naturally follow the example ot those abovS them, and with a better excuse for dolno• _, tnan soma suppose. Without homes of thai? own, they are dependent upon outside sonlfi?» and with so muoh evil abroad, no wondo* thif they are led astray. lam not an advooate fm. early reckless marriages, but, undoubted]* when a yonng man can provide a comfortahin* home, let him marry, as It Is in a<-ordane_ with laws human and divine. But hero on?, looa establishments, particularly some banklni establishments, aro at fault, who,for no hSt&S ■' _. reason than just to save a littlffextra oottl___Sf moving Ithelt- officers from ono station ta Mother, positively censuro an agont for indnlw ing in marriage: end, steer years of servlaV many of thorn are kopt at such salaries asS render the prospeot of marriage ;almost honS less; no wonder that suoh young men, n__S thoy are Influenced by high Christian moUva? go wroug; and tho directors of Buoh ies-hf tions are responsible for the results. Noitt-. are the shareholders free froi bles ter "In thou- greed for large &$_ dends they continue to • pass comnft mentary resolutions at their half-yearly^ meat. lags to their loading officers and InspeStM without enquiring into the condition of thai!. - juniors, so long will these evils exist. Then wS have another class, viz., mechanics and lab™ ens. many of whom are so wedded to drink ana pnblio house bun that real domestic enioyment appearsi to have lost its charms. Remove S™ bars and barmaids; and j ust as you remove the temptation, you reduce the evil. A «oo__ number of these barmaids, I have_o-o_b_ were bright and virtuous when they nnSSSj upon this calling but they are mucMdere- If many of them do not retire ssdly __J_£_f '• The frequent sight of ill deeds makeiffi *£_• done.' These bars are also the direct oansanf a large proportion of the "social evU''yousee_ to expose. Many of these poor victimsi willt-ii you candidly that if It were hot &? thedrtak they take they oould not bear the wnsfo. shame that oomes over them. Remove Oil • drink, and with it you remove a largl number of the victims thus enslaved. TBa same may be said ot the young men: let them give up the accursed practice of s&outi, ing. and you thereby lessen materially tha incentive to this vice. Then the Uce_B_i_" Committees have their work to do to oan. nectlou with this evil. Some of our licensed houses appear to be mainly supported by this class of customers, and offer special tad_oe. mente for them to frequent their bare. _5-" police know the houses to which I refer, and the city committees will not do their duty ' unless they close them. Lastly, withhold!-.; the twelve o'clook license will do more than any other single act to lessen ihe evil, and it now only requires united action, for I hive full faith in the power of virtue to stem the tide of evil if we are only determined to act up to our convictions. Let those who are convinced ot the evil just put their foot down, and say that - it shall be removed, and tbe work will be half done: but if those who claim to belong to tha ■ better class will go on in their easy style, shout-' ing and treating, and committees and t,ho«o holding official positions fail to do their duty to the State, thon we are doomed to decay. For it we do not destroy these ovlls. they will assuredly destroy us.-Yours, See, Joseph N_w_uw,

An amusing incident relative to to ad-Iteration of milk has been related to us, A local medico, upon receiving his morning allowance of the lacteal fluid, was astounded to observe a sturdy young tadpole disporting himself in the depths of the bluish-white tinted liquid. He drew the attention of the milk, man to the circumstance, and asked him how it had come about, when the latter innocently replied that the cow must have swallowed tbe tadpole. The information did not appear to satisfy the interrogator, who mildly suggested to the milkman that if he must put water in the n.ilk, he had better obtain it from the town pump or some pnre stream where tadpoles were not ple_« tifuL
