long series of statesmen from Sir Q. Grey down wards 1 cannot go with him. On Ihe contrary 1 think, and 1 always thought, th.it the annual interviews of Minister* and the ceremonials of the Tawhiuonic debates only tended to perpe tuate the Paiinuiori amphict.wmisim by giving it tin Importance In the mm.l en' Hie Maori people ■which it would nut otherwise have had. or at least retained. The best Native .Minister we ever hail wna Mr Kiilleston-far he did nothing. The true disintegrators were the Native Lands Court, and Messrs Firth, Russell, Wilson, and the other energetic pioneers of civilisation. Woulf. t not be well to print "Upharzciis letter again, for it is the trumpet-call, 1 hope, for attention to a vastly important subject, which the people of Auckland must determine for themselves.for we shall huvo neither derence nor assistance from our too-complacent mem bora of Assembly. This truth we may surely have learnt from their utter impotence in tho matter of the Kotorua railway,which they could have saved from destruction with scarcely an effort.—l am, etc., Casbaxuka.

Farmers Co-operative Association.

(To tho F.ditor.)

Sm,—As the subject of co-operation is engaging the attention of ihc Waikato farmers, t think it should as warmly be taken un by the fanners between Auckland and the \\ aik'ato Paver. I think if all the farmers would unite and make it the " Auckland Fanners' Co-operative Asso ciation," and the head receiving store in Auck land, with branch stores, say at Hamilton, Cambridge, and 'to Awamutn, adding as de mand Increases, it would prove a greater suc cess, having more capital and more orders to send to the Old Country and America, as the case may require A year ai;o the Taruiuiki farmers form cd themselves into a Co-operative Association, having their head store at Waitara, and branches at New Plymouth and Hawora. Th«y have not called up their capital in full, but with something over £UOO capital, thogross turn-over for the first nine months was Jw.litu, net profit, £09. equal to 8J per cent, on the work ing capital. The other advantages that share holders reaped as related to myself by ono, wero, that previous to the Company starting, he paid IBs for tho 100 of flour-he now got it from the Company for 12s the 100. Sugar he paid Cd per lb for. he got at Id per lb; Milestone for wheat he paid Is lid per 11). from the Com pany l)d per lb ; strychnine for sparrows for 17s Cd per oz., from the Company :<s Hid per o:-.. The Company only sells to shareholders for cash, and only adds some 10 per cent, to cover work in" expenses, i! 5 being about the usual trade allowance. Mr John Hiiekle, farmer, Wailara, floated the Company, lie is willing to como to Auckland if his experience or services are tit* any avail to Auckland farmers, by paying his expenses. If Tarunakl and Canterbury fanners wisely help themselves by co-operation, whs should Auckland men lag behind (-1 am, &c, FAKMERS' FllIKNl).

Wo Want No Worlt to Do.

Christciiukoh, this day.—As showing the nature of the recent " unemployed " agitation here, I may mention a rather curious fact. For men able to do a heavy day'a labouring work there was always plenty of work ; but lest there should be destitution among a class of men tit only for light employment, the railway authorities offered to employ twenty-four men lit clear ing hedges and fences, paying them 4s (id per day. In response to the oiler not a single man offered himself for employment, a fact which disposes of the cry of desti tution.

Du.NKDIN, this day,—A body supposed to be that of O. W. (ioodgers was found in the Clutha near Roxburgh"yesterday.

HARBOUR BOARD.

Appointment of Deputy Harbour Master.

A special meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon to make the appoint ment of Harbour Master in the place of Captain John McKonzio, resigned. Mr C. P>. Stono occupied the chair. The Com mitteo to which tho applications wore referred recommended the names of Captains Fisher, Bayldon, and Cooper for consideration, A ballot was taken, and live votes were recorded for Captain Fisher, four lor Captain Bayldon, and threo for Captain Cooper. and tho voting being equal (six being re corded for each), the Chairman gnvo his deliberative vole in favour ot Captain Fishor. It was agreed, on the recom mendation .of tho Committee, that the person selected should pass an examination ad pilot, and that his appointment should bo ns Deputy Harbour-master, Wharfinger, and Harbour Pilot; also, that the Harbour master's otlico be removed to Queen-street Wharf,.—Petition for un anchorage ground for yachts was granted, the limits of tho anchorage ground to bo decided by tho Harbour - master. — This concluded the business,

THE CHAMPION SCHOONER RACE.

As considerable interest is taken in tho action ct the Regatta Committee in excluding Messrs Lano and Brown's now schooner from tho champion race at tho forthcoming regatta, we have taken tho trouble" to ascertain a few particulars concerning the vessel, as few people scorn to understand her real charac ter. It will bo remembered that tho schooner Cygnet was recently pur chasod from Messrs McArthur and Co. by tho Ilabaai (Jovcrnmont, in con sequence of which her builders, Messrs Lane and Brown, agreed to replace tho vessel by olio a few tons larger, and on September 17 they received orders to pro ceed with the work. Tho instructions given wore for " a vessel of about GO tonsor more, to be built on tho same Hues as tho Cygnet, to sail well on a wind, and to carry a fair cargo, say 100 tons) measurement." These instruct tions, we understand, havo boon carried out, with the result that the new schooner is lift, longer, about Oin. more beam, and Gin. deeper than the Cygnet, which, it is well known, took part in previous Auck land regnttao. Messrs McArthur and Co. assert that this schooner igtoall intents and purposes a trading vessel, and claim the right to enter her as such. Tho whole matter will be discussed at a meotii"r of the Regatta Committee convened for ti. i even in". A large attondanco is desirable, the subject being one of great importance.

Petty larceny would appear to bo en the increase. A gold watch was recently stolen from tho residence' of Mr F. G. Lewisson, in P,onsonby, but tho miscreant who purloined it has not yot been discovered. The mattor is in the hands of the police. .

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Star.)

Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to tho efficacy of the great German remedy, St.. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from personsof known respectability, und ltavinp; satistted my self of tho genuineness of th<i cures cllected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed :in relieving nie. For tho past sflvon months I have suffered soreroly from a pain ful attack, ot sciatica, which, in spite of the mqst able treatment ou tlic part of my medi cal adviser, continncd to hold its own hi my system. '• My sleep at last began to bo affoctod, and my whole system very much reduced. Tho most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and 1 then applied nearly evevy adyortised remedy ■'l'hfc Bfiatien was principally located in ■my lull -I thigh. and tho path at times was moat excruciating. In spito o£ the lriost~ thoroußh npplicutions, ' and tho creat dst caro aild attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hope. I doterinined to apply St. Jacobs Oil and from that timo tho pain began to diminish My sleep soon returnod, and each application'nift>r<lo<r mo'relief.' At first I ro gardQd tho ceßsation; 'fcofripaln iw,«nly a temporary ; onej scarcely, daring ..to hope that the cure was'complete; but I havo ri'dtoftilly'' to n6knowlcdjje that I'am now ?ree' from V 1" .fact.:a jian again.. I must confess■■ tliat I. tried, the.
