" Exploration " In tho King Country,

Oh ! could I mount on JUeonian wing, Your arms, your actions, your repose to sing ; What seas you traversed, and what fields you

Exploring well-known lands how well you've l'out'ht!

Bnt a sail fato attends on all I write That when I aim at praise they say I bite.

(To the Editor.) Sin, —1 remarked in your issue of the sth hist., a letter from a Mr E. M. Freeman, disputing some facts mentioned by me in last Monday's Star. In that letter Mr Freeman affirms that he has been a resi dent of Whanganui for over 20 years. If so, lam grieved that ho has never yet acquired the proper manner of spelling the name of the town lie has sojourned in so long, but let this pass. Some people have as much knowledge of orthography as they have of geography. I must ask Mr Freeman if he can logically explain to me that, because he has vegetated in Whanganui for such a length of time, if that is a reason that he should have a thorough knowledge of the Whanganui River throughout all its wind ings V There are several large blocks of land far up the river which have been surveyed and acquired years ago by the Government. If Mr Freeman lias resided at Whanganui or so many years, ho must surely be fic jiiainted with the gallant defence made by Major Brasscy, against great odds, at I'ipi riki, which is about 75 miles by the river from the town of Whanganui ; and, sir, in thus digressing, it is only to remark that the native pah above referred to is not "one"-third of the distance of the " tortuous course" of the river from its source to the sea. Mr Freeman also mentions the fact that the "river," "as the crow Hies," is not more than a little over a hundred miles from its source to the township of Whanganui, as may be seen by the maps. Now, taking a " straight" line from the north - western slope of Tongariro to the town of Whanganui, the distance is barely "seventy" miles. If Mr Freeman disputes this fact, I refer him to the Survey Department for particular and accurate information, and yet our intelligent friend may live to learn that rivers do not always end direct from one point to another. I, with "many" others, have been 1' thoroughly" conversant with most of the country so graphically described in Mr Nicholls's letters to the "Herald." I know the Whanganui River well, from where it rises to the town, and I append a list of the distances between each village or pah. I have spent weeks in the Tuhua district with Captain William McDonnell and his brother, and in corroboration of what I say in regard to the length of the river, I refer anyone to Colonel Thos. McDonnell, to Captain William McDonnell, and to several other old Whanganui resi dents who have canoed down the stream from its rise to the sea. At the juncture of the " Tangarakau " river with the present stream, about 18 or 20 miles above "Pipiriki," there is a coal seam cropping out; this means about 90 miles from thei town, and yet from this place to the " Maraekowhe " pah, by the course of the stream, is about forty-five miles, and from this point by canoe it is more than two days' journey to Whatawhata pah, or to put it at a minimum, about 0.3 miles. Your correspondent also disputes my asser tion that Mr Xicholls stated the height of Titiraupenga to be six thousand feet. I here annex an extract — Mr Nicholls'a journal—from the "Herald" of the 19th of May: "Western Taupo. We were entertained by the natives and left the following day for Kahakaharoa, a small settlement near Nurakea (sic) range, south-east of Titiraupenga, a large moun tain about six thousand feet high." But, sir, apropos of this unexplored (?) country, this "dark continent" which this second Stanley has courageously invaded, and thrown open to commerce and European intercourse, the greater part of it is covered with tens of thousands of sheep already, and the whole country has been stocked for ten years past. A traveller riding through to Wellington from Taupo (Tapua? Harurujcftn get good accom modation (European) every night, and he need not sleep out a single one, though Mr X. had to undergo the hardship of doing so at Tokanu in the "dismal swamp," utterly ignoring the fact that there was a good hotel within 50 or 100 yards from him, and never mentioning such a common place truth to the readers of his thrilling adventures. This hotel was built by the late Mr James Watt, of Napier, about 12 years ago. The numerous station-managers, stock-riders, shepherds, and other employds on the large sheep and cattle stations all the way from Taupo, along the eastern shore of the lake to Tokanu, thence to Rangipo (through the terrible desert so graphically described by our explorer), then Murimotu, after to Kai'ioi, thence to Ruanui, and from

that property through several other smaller stations en route to Whanganui town—are laughing i i their sleeves at the idea of the Auckland reading public being so gulled in being told of a country already peopled and well stocked a second time being explored, rediscovered, and described. I myself have ridden through the country some dozens of times during the last ten years, and lived in it for weeks at a time. And here let me state, in common justice to the Survey Do partment, that many of the rivers and places that Mr Nicholls shows upon his pub lished map, as not previously shown on pre vious maps (assuming to himself the credit, I suppose, of discovering them), are well known and are to be found on maps. The western side of Lake Taupo, Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu mountains, almost down to the sources of the Maunga nui Te Ao River, is also well-stocked with sheep, and Mr Grace, the able manager of these properties, assisted by Mr Maunsell, thinks no more of g^oing up to the top of Tongariro before dinner to muster sheep than he does of eating the same dinner referred to on descending. I think it but just to the able and efficient management of the North Island Survey Department to take the opportunity here of stating that they have trignomotrical stations on both "Ruapehu" and "Nga uruhoe," and although Mr Nicholls erected a caird on the latter, it is an astonishing fact there was one there before. The height, as per "trig," of both these mountains is respectively 8,878 feet and 7,376 feet, whilst that authoritatively given by Mr Nicholls is 9.550 feet for " Ruapehu " and "Ngauruhoe" 7,800 feet. The slight difference between 500 or 600 feet—as given by Hochstetter, and corroborated by Mi- Dyson, and since by the Government survey —as the diameter of the crater of Tongariro, and that of 17 or IS hundred feet by Mr Nicholls, is so trivial that we will not decant upon it further. Recurring to my letter of the 3rd inst., I beg leave to correct one slight error therein, being anxious not to err in overstating distances. I then men tioned that from the head of canoe naviga tion—Whatawhata pah—to the source of tho river was about 25 miles ; I find I am mistaken, it is 35.—1 am, &c., A. W.

(To the Editor.) Sin, —In your issue of tho 3rd instant "-A.AY." replies to a statement made by the "Herald " correspondent.of the Ist instant, viz., in re length of Whanganui River to the sea, viz., 100 miles. This statement must surely be a misprint, as no person who has evev been up this river but would know different. The main Ana branch, "Manga nui-o-te-ao, is nearly 80 miles from its junction to the sea. After the Hauhau dis turbances (and fight on Motoa Island in the Paver Whanganui) a party of soldiers were sent up by steamer to Pipiriki, a distance of 76 miles from the sea. So what about Ana branch distances added? I have been in the Manganuioteoa district surveying for over 10 months. I have been miles to the south, east, and west on trig-rerveying, and .found no serious obstruction ever offered to me by natives. In conclusion, I say that I explored a road from district already mentioned, overland, from river to main Whanganui and Taranaki Road, 4 years ago, and fail to see any great engineering difficulty for a railway through Murimutu Plains.

Teachers' Grievances.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—The teachers have at last spoken out; but with respect to the fines and compul sory attendance at the Saturday classes, they are evidently afraid to put the saddle on the right horse. These vexatious_ regu lations issue from the office of the Chief In spector of Schools, whose functions appear to include everything but inspecting or examining, and are the successors of a series

of circulars, the existence of which is unknown to the public, and probably to the Bonn! also. These pleasant documents bristle with peremptory phrases, such as "teachers must," "teachers must on no account," " teachers are warned," " teachers are for bidden," "does the writing possess the pernicious (!) quality o£ being nearly right?" and so on ad libitum, it is high time that this dictatorship ceased, and that the Board removed the appointment, shift ing, and dismissal of teachers from the control of the Inspector, and confined him to his proper duties. Why are not the committees allowed some say in these matters ? Again, how is it that no one inquires—in the interest both of children and teachers—why a more severe test is applied in examining for standards here than elsewhere, and whether such tost is uniformly applied '! Let the committees insist on seeing the papers, and having tho questions and the number of marks allotted made known. Again, what does the system of promotion, praised by the Inspector in a recent memo., at the expense of the Victorian, consist of ? Is there any such thing 1 Or does it not rather resolve itself into a spy system, whereby the fail ings and private lives of old teachers are raked up, until an opportunity for cashier ing them occurs, to make room, for newly imported favourites. And as a preliminary let the whole inspectorial staff bo removed for change of air to another district, and replaced by new men, who shall be roally what they are called and nothing more _ Then Board, committee.-1, and teachers will work much more harmoniously together than they now do. 1 am, &c., C itizo,

Damp Walls in Brick Buildings.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —In your issue of the Cth inst. there appears statements of an unqualified nature which, if allowed to pass unchallenged, would give them a colouring of truth. I n the first part of that impression the writer quotes London as an instance of damp re sisting walls after a six (G) weeks' con tinuous rain (query), and says he has known 4 i -inch walls to be damp proof. I quite agree with him if he means partition walls in the interior of houses ; if it is gables or exposed walls of that thickness, I entirely differ with him, as I have worked in various parts of London and never saw an outside wall of such thickness. There is no analogy between Lendon and Auckland as to its situation, construction of buildings, and the materials used in the erection of buildings. In the first place, the longand continuous heavy rain, impregnated with saline matter that constitutes our winter season, is far more penetrating than the London climate, and London being a more close and compact mass of buildings, is not like Auckland, high and exposed, with a brick building here and there. The materials are of a different character in the making of the London stock to what is used here in making bricks, and the preparation < for making them is entirely different. Further on, he opines the reason of damp walls must be the bricks and workmanship, qualifying the country bricks as being superior to town-made bricks, To this statement I give contradiction, as I am at present compelled to use bricka from the country which are no comparison either for shape, hardness, or durability to the town-made bricks. I would be obliged to "Common Sense" if he would kindly in form me where those bricks come from that he mentions. To the workmanship being the cause of damp walls, I doubt his ability to judge, as I apprehend from the tenor of la's remarks he is neither a brickmaker nor bricklayer, and, if not so, his authority is of little value. The question of clerk of works on large jobs I entirely agree with, but in the appoint ment there should be a practical bricklayer to overlook bricklayers, who would be able to detect any fault, whether in grouting or keeping proper bond, which is of more im portance than slushing water on the walls; and as regards the red rag business, if it was thoroughly understood by the contrac tors that a clerk of works would be ap pointed in all cases, who would see that the specifications were strictly complied with, there would not be so much disparity in ten dering as occurs from time to time. To my mind, the public are themselves to blame, who accept the lowest tender as a rule. In conclusion, on behalf of the bricklayers of Auckland I can safely state that amongst them there are both competent, honest, industrious, and as sober handicrafts men as you will find in any part of the world. If "Common Sense " disputes my statement, let him come forward on a public platform and divest himself of his norn de plume, and I will be only to happy to discuss the point with him. Bogging your indulgence for trespassing so much on your valuable impression, I beg to subsriba myself—Yours respectfully, kc, John J. Hunter, Secretary of Bricklayers, Working Men's Club, Darby-street.

Georges Ville, one of the best and most practical writers on Artificial Manures, it will be plainly seen that Superphosphate is not only indispensablo, but that a greater benefit results from its proper application, at a far loss cost and in a muoh shorter lime, than from thatof boneflonror dust, the uso of which, as another writer hasjustly ro marked, is simply manuring for posterity. Wo subjoin one out of many testimonials received, CLARK & GANE, SOLE AGENTS FOR AUCKLAND AND CAMBRIDGE. [Copy.] " I have used Lawes's Superphosphate at Matamata with great advantage. As a Manure for Turnips and Wheat, followed by Clover, it is unrivalled. I consider that Superphosphate, by reason of its being more soluble, is at once avail able for Plant Food, and gives more immediate . roturns than the majority of other manures. (Signed) "J. C.
