MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1883.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we con do.

The trial of tho gang of assassins charged with the brutal murder of Lord Cavendish nnd Mr Burke in Dublin, is elici'ing fresh facts regarding the fiend :sh nature of tbe outrage, and of the organisaation under whose auspices it was planned and exe cuted. Recent revelations tend to show that a large am .not of the funds of tho Irish Land League ha s b.cn devoted to the employment of h:red assassins instructed to murder the representatives oi British rale in Ireland. It is a signihcant commentary on the character of the average Fenian, that the misguided wretches who cheertullv accepted the " blood-money" of the Leaguo as the price of their murderous services are now vicing with each other iv _ their eagerness to turn Queen's ovidence, aad if possible secure another biibo as the price of their treacheiy. Tho fact that Mr Harrington, the Secretary of the Irish National League, has been arrested at the instigation of tho Irish Executive, teems to indicate that criminating evidence as to the aims of that body is in the possession of Government, The .National Leaguo is the lineal defendant of the Land League, evolved out of the busy brains of the plotters of sedition, as toon as the latter organisation had been effectually strangled, and it is not uncharitable to suppose that its alms and methods are identical with those of its progenitor. Supposing it to be established beyond all doubt that the actors in the terrible tragedy of the Phconix Park were the tools of the Lind League, and that the new JNational Le_3ue is following in tho footiteps of the parent organisation, a fresh meaning is given to the visit of Mr Red mond, M.P., to tho Australasian colonies, to found branches of the National League here for the purpose of raising funds and other wise furthering the objects of the society, Some*of our Irish citizens thought that our London correspondent, when in his last letter he announced the departure of Mr Redmond for Australia, was rather severe in his condemnation of that gentleman's mission and aims, and somewhat hasty in his advice to colonists not to contribute a farthing towards tho d'ssemination of sedition and the furtherance of schemes of outrage and lawler .ness. But if the information before us is correct, much harder things might be said of Mr Redmond's visit. No colonist, we are as sured, whether he is an Irishman or not, wi'l knowingly give his moral and mone tary support to a socioty sworn to accomplish its ends by secret conspiracy against of terror, and by the employment of mercenary assassins to waylay the re presentatives of Government and to avenge by deliberate murder the slightest sign of wavering on the part of its own members. Quite apart from tho question of loyally to Queen Victoria, colonists are too enlight ened to approve of the employment ot such means for tbe attainment of any patriotic end ; and' havo sufficient manliness, in dependent of their nationality, to condemn and despise the cowardly instigators of such dastardly outrages as that c>m mitted in tbe Phcc. ire Park, The Melbourno "Argus" supplies another giound for discountenancing the mis sion of Mr Redmond, when it deprecates the transference of old world feuds to these colonies. It Is no friendly action on the part of any one who attempts to set peace lul colonists by the ears over questions which do not at all concern them. In like manner, the action of Mr harnell in visitiog America on a mission similar to tbat of Mr Redmond, is also to bo firmly condemned. The open treason which has been talked at previous meetings of Ameri can Irishmen, viewed in the light of the revelations now being made in Dublin, shown the mischievous character of tho movement, and supplies a strong reason for the American Government suppressing these gatherings. Mr Parnell has now on hand a project for revisiting America, and we should think that our Government would make such representations to the Govern meet of the United States as would prevent the spread of sedition against the British Crown and the open collection of funds for tho prosecution of unlawful enterprises. !To do so would be to confer a real benefit on Irishmen both at Home and abroad. -In Ireland the peasantry would be much happier if they wero freed from the periodical uprisings instigated by political adventures, and Irishmen in America and these colonies would employ their spare c. _h much better in assisting their friends to emigrate than in subsidising murderers, or paying for the dissemination of the seeds ql discontent and disorder,

SOMa very suggestive remarks were made the other day by Mr Mc_rc*, President of the Christchurch Chamber of Commerce, st tho quarterly general meeting ot that body, Referring to the promised abundant harvest, he pointed out thlt, on a moderate estimate, the Canterbury grain crop for this year would on that account show an increase on last year of 2,8 50,000 bushels; and taking into consideration tbe increased area of land under cultivation lie calculated that tho grain and grain products exported from Canterbury tbis season would reach a total value ot £1,300,000. Ihe gratifying foaturo of this well-founded anticipation is I that it is not confined to Canter bury alonp, but extends to tho whole coleny, every portion of the country having participator! iv the blessings of a rich and abundant harvest. The same thing applies to tho export trado in frozen meat, tne beneficial result, of which will be felt in every part of New Zealand, Within the current year six vesse.'s with cargoes of frozen mutton will leave Port Lyttelton,nnd othor six will during the samo period leave Dunodin, taking to Britain tho carcasses of 120.000 sheep. At tho prico at which Now Zealand has to sell her sheep, that does not amount to a great deal of money, but it is different when wo consider the effect which tho frozen moat trade is certain to havo on i tho valuo ot llvo stock in the colony. It is tair to assumo that already the Bhecp iv tbis country numbering 14,000,0-0 have increased in vnluo by 2s »i head since tho introduction of the export trade to Biitain, and that means a per manent addition of £1,400,030 to the wealth of tho colony. When to this is added tho monoy valuo of tho cxtrn yield of the pre sent harvest, we get a sum of £2,500,000 ai being the addition to tbe wealth of New Zonlaiid within a few mouths. Facts like ' these it is very important to bear in mind, as affording tho b:st ground for bolicving ' in the gloiious futuro before this colony, aa justifying our contracting another hoavy loan for public works, aud as removing all fear of the country being ovor-stocked through tho prosecution of a liberal scheme ,of immigration. In addition to tho two i sources of increase particularly alluded to by Mr Mearos, many others are being • opened up, inoluding the prosecution of various useful manufactures in tho colony. Already wo nre'exporting homes and cattle, which wo formerly imported in largo num i bers, and very soon the growth of industrial , enterprises in our midst, such as the cheese and bacon factories which aro being so ex > tensively ontered upon, will add still mire * to the woalth of tho community, and to tho comfort of the individual members ! i thereof.

Amongst the cases to be heard at tho Police Court to-morrow, aro: a chargo against Sarah Fisher (wife of Albert Fisher, licensee ot the Occidental Hotel) of stealing photographs and lettois, the pro perty of Ethel Lublin; al?o a charge of larceny against William MeColl, and an assault case.

The District Court was occupied today with an action brought by Mr A. Oppen hoimer against Mr \V, li. Fenton to re cover £61 2s 4d, for which be was.bold to be liable under a guarantee given for the honesty of Mr C. K. Jell., who was acting as commercial traveller for the plaintiff. The case, which is an interesting one, is reported fully in another part of this issue. His Honor reserved judgment till next Monday.

We understand that Dr. C, F. Goldabro intends shortly taking a well-earned holi day. Ho contemplates a tour through tho Southern Provinces.

The Hospital authorises dcsiic to return thanks to Mr K. Woods senior, for n quan tity of old linen also to a " wiend " who, through Mr Sydney Dando, bias pro-cnted a quantity of fruit for the uso of tho p-ticnts,

Orloff Davidoff, a Russian prince died at St. Petersburg lately, contradicted all tbo popular not:ons of Russian princes. This Davidoff was the fiiend of Sir Walter Scoit aud Gcethc, a pamphleteer and essayist of no m .an pretention, but above all a huniani taiian. Rein? ono of tho largest landowners in Russia, ho devoted himself to the eleva tion of his former terfs, founded industrial and other schools for them, with system and appliances far in advance of those in England.

The firm of Laishley and Jackson, Solici tors, on Saturday last moved into their new offices at the corner of Queen and West Queen-streets, to tho premises lntely occu pi-d by the Union Steam Shipping Com pany. Iho offices aro c.iiimodious and central, and have b:en handsomely fitted up.

Waiwera may be a very nice place, but, when persons bargain to ruturn to town and upon tbe morning of departure awake to find themselves actually " wind bound," they no doubt tzel tomcwhait d'sappointed. Ab.ut twenty excursionists went down by tho lona on Saturday, intending to start on the return trip cany th's morning. But tho seas rose, and tho wind blew with ter. riiio force, and the steamer, about 4 a.m., had to|quit her anchorage off tho island and come up tbe harbour, leaving her passen gers to wait for a moro favourable season, or else make the journey overland.

Not a few resident! ot the city appear to bo in i°uorance of tho stringent provision of the Closot Byelaw recently adopted by the City Council. This enactment was specially framed to compel persons to refrain from burying nightsoil in back yards, etc. The maximum penalty for this offence is £50. Wo are informed that ono case for a breach of tho byelaw is pending, and tbat others will shortly follow. The Inspector of Nuieancfsb. shad ali.tpre pared of those burpcs.es whoso premises are notvieitcd by the nightsoilcontractor.sothat those persons who jeopardise) the health of the community will havo very little chanc. of escaping the consequences of their p.r simony.

Further experiments in connection with tho manufacture of iron from ironsand at Onehunga, Manukau, took place on Sat urday afternoon. These may bo said to be the most cracial that havo yet taken place, being carried on In presence of a number of gentlemen of practical knowledge and experience of tho iron trade, including Mr Fraser of Fraser and Tinne ; Mr Hawkcs wood, of Lower Hobson-strcet Foundry j Mr Elliott, Superintendent of Railway Workshops; Mr Leahy, blacksmith ;Mr Hunt, Whau Brickworks, &c.

Although, from its natural position Parnell should be the most healthful locality in city and suburbs of Auckland, it is a notorious fact that it is tbe most un healthy. About this time last year cases of scarlet fever and measles wore as common iv the eastern suburb as bugs in a boarding house, and this year the residents are threatened with an epidemic of typhoid fever. Upwards of a dozen case, are said to havo occurred in Parnell within the past three or four weeks. How ever, as efficient drainage works are now in course of construction, it is confidently be lieved that the hygienic condition of the district will be much improved, and that noxt summer will ice much less sickness. In the city of Auckland, consideiing the heat of the weather, and the imperfect drainage in somo of the recently added wards, public health has been remark ably good, During the fortnight from January 25th to February Sth, six cases of typhoid fever and one case of measles—seven cases of infectious diseases in all—were reported to tho City Sanitary Inspector. Three of these were within the old city limits, and the othor four cases in the recently annexed wards. From the Bth in .taut to tho present date only one case of typhoid fever and four ca.es of scarlatina have been reported. The case of typhoid fever occurred in Spring-street, Ponsonby. The localities of the scarlatina cases were as follows :—Two in Alexandra street; one in East-street, Karangahape ; aud one in Turner-street.

The latter had been playing the j "amateur detective," imposing ou public house keepers and privato Individuals, but j did so once too olten for his comfort, and hence his visit to tho Edeu Above, whero he is remarkably woll known.

Another English barque, the Crown thorpo, put in an appearance on Saturday evening, having made the trip in the good time of 98 days. She is in command of Captain Everett, who has beforo visited this port on moie than ono occasion in the same vessel.

The Crownthorpe brings a number of passengers, who will bo landed when the weather moderates, the vessel being at present anchored at the powder ground.

We trust that the late serious conllagra. tion at Onehunga, following so closely on other destructive outbreaks of fire, will Induce the Onehunga Municipal Council to re-consider tho question of providing a water supply for the borougb. 'It has been stated to us that the question of raising the necessary money is not tho real lion in tho path. Under the present act to authorue the raising of a loan, one-half of the total number of ratepayers in the borough must vote in its favour. There are so many absentee pro prietors in "Sleepy Hollow" that tho municipal fathers believe that it would bo utterly impossible to get a sufficient number of burgesses to poll iv favour of a water scheme.

Mr Muir, thomanagor of tho Sugar Com pany, relates an amusing story regardins a well-known North Shore resident. For several days this worthy had evidenced a desiro to speak to Mr Muir, but until Friday last ho was never able to screw his courage to the sticking point. At last he met the manager near the works, and said, " Och I mon; your Company's makin1 a grand mistake." " How so 1' queried tbo imperturbable Muir. "Why, you've got twa hunnerd acres o' laud there, an' it will'na grow sugar cane," Mr Muir did not wait to explain that it was not the intention of the Sugar Company to grow cave on their trans-Waitemata domain,

The Heathcote (Canterbury) annual re gatta on Saturday was favoured with fine weather. Tho champion four-oar race, for many years gained by the Cure Boating Club (Kalapoi), was this year won rather easily by tbe Canterbury Rowing Club (Christchunch).

The danger attendant upon tho opening of lemonade bottles was exemplified again on the Avondale Cricket Ground last Saturday. A player was about to rofresh himself with tho harmless bevorage, when the bottle, while tho stopper was being driven in, suddenly exploded, a piece of the glass striking him on the face and inflicting a painful wound. Our temper ance friends would therefore do well to exercise care when forcing in tho stoppers of these vessel?.

Most of the coastal sawmills have dis continued or are about to discontinue operations for the presont owing to the scarcity of logs. The absence of heavy rains and attendant freshes has rendered it impossible to get logs down to the booms, and hence the mills arc in comparative idleness, A rise in the prico of timber haa been. thn.J-mtnlt. nnd nnlem t.lio pros-nt threatening weathor brings a heavy rain fall, dealers may expect a fnither Increase in price.

There should bo a good turn out to welcome this company.

The swamp road between the Botorangi and Monavale stations, owing to tbo swamp fires, is unsafe for traffic. The " Waikato Times" of Saturday says :—ln tome places the peat under the surface of the road is burning for several chain., nnd tho smoke issues from tho crevices to the great annoy ance of the traveller. The road iv some places haa been burned to such an extent that the edges have fallen off into the drains, and the drains to a great extent have been destroyed. Owing to the state of the roads many people who have occasion to drive between Te Awamutu and Cam bridge do not caro about using it. Two men from the Kotorangi station have been engaged for the past few days in eudeavour. ing to save tho road.

A somewhat exciting scene was witnes sed on the Whau road last Saturday. A drag crowded with cricketers was proceed ing to Avondale, while immediately behind it followed a spring cart owned by Mr Turk, which contained five men. While passing down a rather steep incline, the spring trap made an effort to pass the drag, and at the same time a hpavily-laden dray, coming from the opposite direction, stopped. The three vehicles were abreast of each other, when the wheel of tho spring cart caught in tho dray's wheel, causing the former vehicle to upset, and throwing the live occupants on to tho roadway. Fortu nately no serious injury was sustained by any of the party, but the. escape was a nar row one.

It is a curious thing (says the Auckland correspondent of the " Waikato Times,") that many people who aro very fond of playing practical jokes on others object . ttongly to having practical jokes played on themselves. Some lime ago thero was a commercial traveller here, who was vciy foud of indulging in that sent of amusement. Cne lorm of joke for which he had a decided penchant was pretending t_ bo deaf and dumb. Ono day ho went into an hotel with a friend, who told the barmaid that bo was a deaf mute. Sho expressed much surprise, saying tbat he did not look liko it. "I will prove it to you," said bis friend. He picked up a heavy weight which happened to bo on tho counter, remarking, " I am goinn; to diop tbis weight on his too. Of course, if ho can hear what I am saying, he will move his foot, but, rs he cannot hear me, he will not do so," The deaf mute made not the slightest sign of having heard tbo rem. rk, until tbo weight was dropped on his toe. Then be called out, " Contound it, you did not need to hit me so bard." His friend quietly remarked to tbo bar maid, " That is the most miraculous cure of dumbness that 1 have ever known."

Tho following extract from the " Catholic Presbyterian t\ will bo read with interest by people who wish to know something of the views of the newly-appointed Archbishop of" Canterbury :—" The Bishop ot Truro said in a charge the other day, after re ferring to views contained in some papers read last year :—' I would enforce tbem by reminding you of tho noar approaches (formerly incredible) to each other of the Scottish Episcopal and the Established Pre>byterian Churches, Whon wo think of their history, so ennobled and so stained, SO inveterate on both sides, and so heroic, and mark their attitude to-day, the hardest man may believe tbat it is no will of God tbat any devotion or faith should war for ever against faith and dovotion j or tho folds of tho flock stand ' like cliffs that have been rent asunder,' and 'dreary seas' Haw between them hopelessly and unalter. ably. Let me commend to any who havo not read them—as voices of promise t>r tho wliolo Church—the closing address of Dr. Milllgan, tho Moderator of tho Assembly ot 1882; tho speech of Principal Tulloch in the same Assembly, and the fir.t part of Bishop Charles Wordsworth's charge in the Synod of his united diocese,"

The young man William Henry Crossley, who was found guilty of vagrancy at the Police Court this morning, is one of those characters who give the police endless trouble Ho has spent the greater part of his last half dozen years in gaol for various offoncei. Iv the course of his trial to-day it was stated that he was constantly under polioo surveillance He is iv the habit of going iuto public houses, ordering drinks, and then refusing to pay for them, after wards demanding lodging. At the Flagstaff Hotel, worth Shore, recently, ho made his appearance, and asked for a drink of water, whioh was given him. Ho thou invited the barman to have a drink, and they partook of two small glasses of beer. Crossley said he was a private detective from Christchurch, and was after a man, the description of whom he gave with minuteness. Taking a slip of paper from his pockot he wrote, "Please pay for two small beers " and signed it, te'Ung the barman to send it to Ghristcharch and he would be paid. This was too much for the latter to stand, and he "run him out" without forther ado. Again ho visited tho Old House at Homo, demanded lodging whilo having no money in his pocket, and played tho tame trick on two or three other houses, until tho police wore called upon to interfere. Ho need not be expected iv town for two months.

According to the " Wiener Zeitung" the actor was doing his twelvemonth of military duty in a regiment of Hussars at Vienna, when he saved the life of a lady whose horse had run away in the Taborstrasse. Tho lady, who was known in Vienna as "Lady S.yton," felt so grateful to him tbat she obtained his exemption from further service, and induced him to accompany her iv her travels. After some timo " Lady S_yton" wen 1, to Egypt, and thence, by way of ludia, China, and Japan, to Ban Francisco. Upon landing thero she was arrested, and it then appeared that hor real name was Lonora Price, and that sbe had been in the service of a Califoroian mil lionairo, from whom she had purloined enough money to make the grand tour. _ he Hungarian actor was arrested at the same time, but he bad no difficulty in proving that he was in no way an accomplice. After being set at liberty, he obtained em ployment in San Francisco as a messenger, a shopman, a pastrycook, &nd a groom in a circus, He afterwards got engaged as-a clown, but, the manager of the circus be coming bankrupt, he joined a party of emigrants to New Zealand, He followed for some time the humblo calling of a chimney-sweep at Otago, and he has at length returned to his native country as poor a_ when he left it.

They will be con ducted by the Rev. Wm, Douglas, M, A., of Hokitika, tha retiring Moderator. Imme diately aftervirards a new Moderator wi'l be elected, and the business will proceed.

Several public meetings ate arranged for, when the minis ten will meet the laity free from the res traints of Coutt etiquette.

A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.

The Rcefton correspondent of the Otago " Daily Times " telegraphs as follows re garding a.recent mysterious occurrence at Lyell:—"Considerable consternation was caused the other day at the Lyell when the decapitated body of Denis Quinlivan was found a short distance from the town ship, and not far from the main road lead ing to Westport. It is difficult to obtain very reliable information respecting the matter, but it appears that the man was last seen alive on the 26th ult, together with one John Davidson and a woman living near the place where the body was found, A most Bingnlar circumstance in con nection with the affair is that Davidson was on the 26th (the some day) found insensible on the road, near the spot in question, with his throat cut, and a, razor was found close by. On being taken to the township and at tended to, it was found that the wound was not serious enough to be fatal; and the man was subsequently taken before Mr Revell. K.M., who committed him for trial for attempted suicide. This took place about three days before the body of Quin livan was found, the man in the meantime having been sent to Westport Gaol. An inquest on toe body of Quinlivan was opened yesterday, and some evidence taken, but afterwards adjourned to afford the police time to investigate the matter. The inspector of police and a detective are on their way to Lyell."
