" I TOLD you so I" Ls a vory disagreeable and much-abased phrase; and wo have no desire to harrow the feoling*. of the City School Committeo with lt; but tho result of their ouquiry into the number of childrou unprovided with school accommodation should warn ihcm against reckles. as.ertions. An examination of tiie census returns would havo provod that tho reputed 1,500 ohildren specified in their letter to rho Board of Edncatipn as being excluded from tho public schools was a gross exaggeration We do not, however, believe for ono moment that tho 39 children who piesonted themselves during the threo days appointed by the committeo for tho purpose, nor oven that number swelled by tho addition of the 53 who wero reportod by Mr Harrison as having beon refused at Beresford-street school in six weeks, repre sents anything like tbo number of children who ought w be at school and aro not. Tbo only way to get at the trutb i. by personal canvaa, and such a canvas would be worthless, unless it, wero intended to back lt by the enforcement of the compulsory clause of the Act; because if tho commit tee mean to rest upon the system of voluntaryism, the test of adeqaate school accomodation will be tho num ber of children who oorao to school of their own freo will, and not tho number who might go but do not. Wo havo, however, so often vainly urg» _ upon the Boa . it- duty in aiding the city com mitteo to enforce the compulsory c'nuaos of tho Act, that wo despair ot making much Improsslon now. Changes in the Board and tho committee have emito about, but there Is no chance in tho attitude of either to wards that neglected class for whoss special relief education was mado freo. If somo member of tho Board of Educa tion would mako this work his special mission, -if somo Chairman of Com mitteo would register tho vow that his period of office shall not expire until every child of school age who can attend, shall bo afforded the training which their neglectful parents are witbolding, public honour and respect would assuredly attend tho mission. Is not the cause worthy , enough—the duty urgent enough—to fire ' the breast of one of those gentlemen who now administer the educational affairs of the Auckland district 1 Wo sineeroly hope that tho cause will yot find its champion, and that the prosent resolvo of the com mittee to ascertain the number of childron whoeo education ia neglected will bo only a prolude to vigorous measures for bringing the littlo waifs and strays within the rays of tho lamp of knowledge, which lights tho way to all truth.

Mr Redmond's Visit to Auck land.

Bishop Luck's attitude,

Wb learn that Mr J. E. Redmond, M.P., the delegate of the Irish National League, is expected to arrlvo in Now Zealand shortly, in pursuance of the mission which ho has been prosecuting in tho Australian colonies. The brothers Rodinond, after their visit to Sydney, wont on to Brisbane, ond we boliove that aftor holding meetings th«r* they will return to Sydney to take steamer for New Zealand, landing at Auckland. In view of their expected arrival, arrangements have been set on foot for welcoming them.Several committee moetings have been hold, at which various suggestions have beon made. We aro informed, however, that a pasto/al communication just received from Bishop Luck, who is presently on a visit to tho Waikato, has eomowhat altered tho aspect of affairs. His Lordship, has, we aro led to boliovo, addressed a lotto*, to the clergy in this part of the diocoso, In which he urges thorn to withhold their countenance from any proceedings which may bo Bet on foot in connection with tho vi-t of Mr Redmond, and his public nppenranecs nS.a delegate of tho National League. Thfe communica tion haa cauaod somo concern in Catholic circles, and it la not unlikely it will toad to divided counsels among tho Irish party aa to tho oxpedionoy of supporting Mr Red mond's raißsion-in the present condition of Irish affairs nt Home. Wo aro not aware if Bishop Luck states any reasons for his present action; but it is beyond doubt thoroughly in accord with the expressed views of His Holiness tho Popo in regard to the attitude which the clergy should assume towards all disturbing agitations, nnd tho Land Leaeue movement in Ireland in particular. WH..regla.H<. hod-cat His Lordship, as representing the i.-uroh of (<«mo m tin. dißt.*ef, snd Vd-.g Vie M'-g^v of its

1 direction to those who9o favou~ite boast is / that " they are Catholics first and Irishmen ', afterwards," as to how their conduct should jbo regulated at tho present timo, Some of ' tha infcrl* r clergy of tho dioceso, we aro sony to hear, do n.,t tuk- th.* samo view as I His Lordship and all the diguitaiics of the I Church, aud several of them, it is reported, intend disregarding the ■ Bishop's direction and actively associating I themselves with tho extreme party of Home I Rulers in Auckland. Wc hope, however, !' that the bulk of our Roman Catholic citizens will take a viow at onco sensiblo aud loyal alike to their ohutch and tbe constitution,by holding aloof from v move ment which threatens to stir up strife between sections of tho commuuity.

Mr John Edwards, who has for several years held tbo position of head master of JNowton West School, having resigned ana being about to leavo tho district, tho resi dents considered it a fitting opportunity of presenting him with some token of (heir respect and esteem.

And if they will only stick to the old rule re leugth, viz, 20 foot, aud alao the same cubic capacity, they will, .1 thiuk, meet tbe builder's objections fairly, for what ho takes off in beam ho may put on iv depth, and vice versa.

'i'liu charailog uud tuneful opora oi lho •' Brigauds " waa produced at tho Theatre Royal lint night, by tho Simouson Op.-ra Company, bat prob.bly owing .to the bow toious weather, tho attendance wus very small. It may safely bo said that lho pro. ductiotl was one i.f tha most Bucco-sful of the season in puinC of merit, tlie plot and situations being well conceived, and the

limbic pretty und viv-iciou-. M.ss Vla-tina binioiiseii ihuid and i-a.g the leading part of tho brigand's daughter eapiuliy.nnd Mr urennir mado an excellent brigand chief. The other parts were all succesHlully undertaken. "Boccaccio" is aunounoed for this evening. Many Communistic ptojec.3 havo failed, and it is not to be wondered at if one of a company of operatic artistes should end disastrously. In tbo Magistrate's Court Dunedin, yesterday, Louis Loutscha, con ductor of tho Tambour Major Company, sued Mr Howard Vernon, the lossoo and di rector, for £15 salary. The defence was that the compauy, anco Mr McUallum's iusolvcncy had beon carried on as a commonwealth, and that as tho business had not beon good, the members could not bo paid full salaries. The magistrate held this to bo proved, and nonsuited plaintiff, ginutlng Mr Vernon £4 4s costs, as com pel) sation for his having been unnecessarily placed under arrest by plaintiff. This case affords another proof that human nature is very far from beiug prepaied for the Mil lonium.

Another crowded audlcnco at the Opera House last evening testified to tbo In creasing popularity of Mr F. Maccabo. The drc-s ckclo was as on previous even ings, filled with a largo and appreciative audlcnco, whilo tho lower parts of tho house vioto packed tocrowdiug, a number of per sons having to reft satisfied with standing roC—l. Mr Maccabe has remarkable control over his audience. Whou ho ls desirous of sil. noe,, ihe crowd present is so i-till that tho least accidental nolto IB hourd moit distinctly, and appears very objectionable, but whoa ho wishes to provoke laughter, tho houso actually becomes convulsed. While Maccabo creates wonder by lils rapid change ct clothing, his speedy assumption of the varied ciiornctcr and peculiarities of Individuals who may be mot any day are especially true to nature. As a vocalist he Is also a, groat success, and his poetical and musical compositions are both well-written aod appropriate. When Mac cabe sing.-, "Oh I I'm Not Me-self at A-a-l,'1 it is very easy to bolieve him, and thi., wc may remark, is the title of ono of his most taking songs, aud provokes great applau _ nightly. Ho will again bid " dull csro begone " at tho Opera House to-night. To tho Editor.—Sir,—Tho discovory of diamonds iv tho Raglan District, recalls to my memory tbe fact that 1 also found similar atoms in that locality some con siderable lime ago whilst working thero; theylwcre larger and moro brilliant than those which I saw at Mr Grcenshiold's, and their beauty and lustre so impressed me at tho timo that I mado a chart of the placo to enable me to find it again if necessary. I also sont Bomo of them to a clergyman thou resident nt Aucklaud, for examination, but, as he pronounced thorn to bo "only very lino specimen? of crystalizcd quarts,"; I took no further Interest in tho matter, until seeing * the accounts of the recent oxpotimouts on tho subject in your journal. I now fully believe that thore were dia monds amongst tho stones that 1 round, and 1 have oomo to Auckland from tho North for tho express purpose of satisfying myself ns to tho value of my discovery • but, with thn limited moans at my disposal, I am nnablo to prospect (ho grouud unaided, and would therefore gladly enter into an arrungomont with a reliable party to prosecute tho enterprise to an issue. Possibly it mi^'ht prove a failure, but if otherwise it would handsomely repay tho trilling outlay required. Apologizing for trespassing on your valuable spice, yours, Stc, VV, VV.

At tho meeting of tho City Schools Com mirto* la't night, it was agreed, on the mutton .£ Mr Tliwuites, that application be mado through the Board of Ednc.tion to tho Domain Board for the allotmont of a piece of ground us a cricket ground for Jho scholars attending the city public bclioi*s. The water account for tho last two months was £13 Cs Bd, and as the liability on the part of Wollesley'Street was ex ceptionally large, it was decided that the engineer should report ou tho consumption of water at that school. Application will also bo made to the Council in accordance with resolution for a reduction in tho wator charges. Mr J. R. Black applied for increase of .alary, and tho consideration of tho letter was deferred.— On the motion of Mr Ryan, it was resolved that the head teachers of the schools bo written to in structing them that snjjbordinates when applying for leavo of abs—ico, on account of sickness, forward medical certificates to the Committee.—The Chairman submitted the following returns of tbo children who had applied for admission to tbe schools during tho threo days ap pointed, and who had boen refused :— Beresfo'rd-street, 22 ; Nelson-streot, 6; WollcsloyTstreot, ,^l2: Uigh-stroet, 0; total, 39 In addition to thjsse, 53 must bo added, as reported by Mr Harrison as having been refused admission by him during the past six weeks.-It was agreed to recom mend tho Board to allow the committee to omploy a porson to canvas tho city, to as certain ihe number of children of school ago in- tho city ; tho Board to pay tho cost lof the work.

WIGGINS TO THE FORE.

PBOFESSOB Wiggins is in luck. He pro dieted a torrific storm on the Atlantic for the 7th of March, and an English cablegram beating that date says: " A severe gale, accompanied by a heavy fall of snow, bas boen experienced over the greater part of England. Much damage has been caused on land by tho wind and snowdrifts, and many disasters at sea aro reported owing to the severity of tho gale winch raged along the coast." He warned tho people of Sydney tbat the storm would fall on this quarter of the globe on the 10th, and punctual to time, wo arc having a northerly buster, notwithstanding that our weather prophet Captain Edwin, whose forecasts are conspicuously wrong live time- out ol six unless mado when everyone else has seen the storm brewing, tole graphed throughout the colony yesterday ih it from observations made he could "find no traces of the storm which Mr Wiggins, of Ottawa, saya will pass over tho Aus'ralian colonies to-morrow. Capt, Edwin is also of opinion that tho .torm wonld give 48 hours' notice of its approach." a, telegram from Captain Edwin, at 11.30 this forenoon, warns Aucklunders to '•Expect a bard gale between notth aud cast and south-east, 'lho glass shows a further fall, and a very heavy rain may bo expected soon, but thero is no indication of a gale of exceptional violence." Before this " warning" reached ns, wo wero well through our nor'-eastor, and were also persuaded that the heavy rainfall of this forenoon represented all the downfall for tho present. As tor the " galo of exceptional violence^" it may be coining yet, but up to the time of writing, tho " blow " of last night and this morning has been a very ordinary aflair, and has not wrought any damuge so far as can bo learned. It has b.cn blowing very hard outside, but no danger is appre hended to i-ny of the ordinary craft. But there is a wide dirtioction between the hurricane and tidal wave predicted by the redoubtable Wig-ins aud the nonheily blow oi to-day. Ihe American papers by tbe mail contain the following references to the last of Wiggins's storm warnings :— Washington, February 9th.—Tuero »re no indications of a heavy storm, as pre dicted tot-day by the wentner prophet Wig" gins, f§P it is understood he has withdrawn tbe prnphecy conceruinu tho great hurri cane and tidal wave for Marsh 11th. N-W YORK, February _otb.— The "Herald " prints an alleged interview with Wiggins, the weather prophet, at Ot awa, Ont, who accounted for his fuiiure yester day as follows :—" Tho astronomical day begins ut noon on meridian of London, and our day begins at twelve o'clock at night. I overlooked this fact, so that the side of the earth presented to the planetaty lorce was opposite to that which I gave. I did not notice my mistake until this evening, so the storm fell on tbo Pacific insteauof the Atlantic. This is the first storm prediction tbat I ever made that did not take plaoe; we will get the toil end of the utorm yet. lt will strike heavily on the east coast of Africa. However, the failure of this storm removes a world of responsibility from my mind, for the storm I predicted for March has hung over me like a nightmare, on account ofthe horror it has struck on the public mind throughout the world, as evidenced by the pile of letters daily re ceived, and if this storm had happened, hundreds, in anticipating the March storm, would havo become insane through fear of its result." " Will you now retire from the field as a weather prophet?" " Yes, as far as publishing letters in newspapers goes." CHIOAOO, February 12th.—Dr. E. Stone Wiggius telegraphs to the "Times" as follows of tho rccout storm ;—" The storm camo as predicted, but the fa_:os producing it united over tho western coast ot r> merica instead of tho eastern. The foroes before u-itiug passed over the contiuent west like tho fiuger'B of a man's hand, the exp-nded tops of tbo fiugors being ' toward the cast. Ono crossed tho Gulf of Mexico, ono through tho Gulf of St. Lawrence and State of New York, and tho third over Western Ontario, meeting west of Mexico instead of south of New foundland, In my almanac I say the storm will begin on the 9th and continue four day*-, with a heavy snow yet to follow. Thero is n. general snow blockade over tbe continent, and in Lockport, Ind., and at othor places on tho storm veins, tolegraph poles wero blown down." Tho _an Francisco Bullotin" of Febroary [10th, remarks:-A prophet is commonly without honour in his own country, and a ' weather ptophet is complacently regarded with humorous derision. Of all the pro phets that havo sprung up lately, Wiggi ns, the Canadian weather sharp, has fallen to tho lowest depth of prophetic disgrace and dishonour. He is a prophet without honour in his own or any other country, Unfortu nately he Ins had a largo circle of marine friends, whose credulity equals their super stition. Somo of them gave heed to his forecasts of alarming storms, and remained ashore in secure harbours on certain days dcignated by the prophet. The storms did not sweep ovor tho land and sea at the times I appointed and the skippers began to show signs of diminished faltb. Then Wiggins \ rallied and sent out another prophesy, pre dictiog a seveto galo on the Atlantic to-day. He Bapplemcnted tho prophesy with a personal request addressed to his marine friends, imploring them to stay ashore ou this Friday, February Oth. The Signal Ser vico men laughed, but concluded to look out for the hurricane Friday comes about all right on tho 9th February, as Wiggins predicted, but the storm "is left somewhere ou tho route." xvow comes tho telegrams from the Atlantic Coast reporting calm aud delightful weather, and on the Pacific Coast the weather, as usual, is charming and agrecublo. Undismayed by past pn.photic reverses, Wiggins prodicts a furious, raging, first-class howlinz gale on Mutch 7th, aud adds to the prophecy tbat tho storm will bo very severe in the .Pacific Ocean, and tspecially so in the latitude of SAn Francisco.. If tbe storm does not come as predicted, Wiguins must go to tho foot of the class. We shall havo nothiDg lo do with Canadian prophets. If wo must have weather pro phets we shall thereafter raise thorn our selves and thus stiinulato home industry, If the storm comes on time aud with proper fury, then Wiggins shall be banquoted and ffited, and honoured as Californisns delight to honour a good and true prophet, or an ex-Major-General of tho militia.
