Selecting a Mission Station,

When Mr Murray and I established the New Guinea mission in 1871 we selected Darnley Island, in Torres Strait, as our starting point, on account of Ha central position, healthy climate, good unchorago in both monsoons, and its fertile soil and extensiro cocoanut groves, which seem to point it out as the most suitable place for tho sanatorium, " city of refuge," and edu cational centre of our mission._ We formed our first mission station on this island, and a few days after we established our first mission station on tha mainland of New Guinea, at a largo village situated at tho mouth of the Katau River, which is about twenty miles to the west of the Fly River. During the following year, whilst I was in England procuring the steamer Ellengowan and the means to carry on tho work, Messrs Murray and Gill formed a second station at Tureturc, about live or six miles to tho eastward of Katau ; also one on liampton Island, at the mouth of the Fly River, and commenced the mission on the S.E. Penin sula, at Manumanu, in Redacnr Bay. All these places, with the exception of Darnley, proved exceedingly unhealthy, and fatal to some of our South Sea Island teachers. It was this that led me, on my return from England, to endeavour to find high land and healthy localities in tho interior, suitable for mission stations. I fence my explorations in the Baxter, Mabidauan, Katau, and Fly rivers. From my last letter you would learn that we have now mission stations on the three last-named rivers, where teachers trained from that locality are located, as they alone can stand the climate—the Baxter River being the lino of deinarkation between tho London Mission and German Lutheran Mission, which is being established by the Rev. Martin Doblies, representing that Society in New Guinea. Mr Doblies came hero in the Ellengowan from the S.E. Peninsula. lie intended establishing a mission amongßt tho inland tribes behind Port Moresby, whom he visited; but prefers to begin on the main body of New Guinea at onco, hoping to reach the interior by some of the numerous waterways in thoee parts. He accompanied mo to tho Fly River and along the coaut to Saibai and Danan, At tho latter I arranged for hii having a room in the teacher's lath and plaster cottage, as a retreat until he got settled, lent him our mission boat to visit Poigu (an island at the mouth of the Baxter Riror, where we had formerly a mission station), which he intend* making hia base of operations, though I am afraid that ho will not accomplish much without considerably more help. The Exploration of Now Guinea. There can be no doubt that the easiest, quickest, and least exponsive way of reach- Ing the interior of Now Guinea proper la by ono of its large rivers in tho Papuan Gulf. Tho newspaper correspondents and others who have attempted to explore New Guinea have made Port Moresby their centre of op erations. It may be a very good centre for the Peninsula, being situated about the ; middle of it, but it is a very unsuitable base of operations for exploring tho great body of New Guinea, from the noarest point of which it i. about 200 miles distant. To reach it by land is impracticable ; and by sea a head wind has to bo encountered dur both monsoons, which in a very serious mutter in theco parts. Tho natives mako long voyngea along the ooast towards the Load of Uifl Papimu Gulf for sapo, which take them, na ;i rule, months to accomplish, at they go nt tho ci.d of ono monsoon and return at tho beginning of another, making a fair wind both ways. No prudont captain would attempt to take a sailing vessel to the head of tho Papuan Gulf during the south east season, where there is no shelter from a most dangerous leo shore, inhabited by fierce savngea and cannibals. From Darnloy Island it is but a day's sail in a boat to tho Fly River. To and from the Aird River and tho other side of the gulf there is a leading wind during both monsoons, which makes Daniloy easy of access nt all soasons. I mention Darnloy because it has tho best anchorage, and is nearest to the Fly River, although it is only one of a group of six islands, four of which aro inhabited by natives of the samo race and language. Murray having the largest population, we have hero our principal station.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.

(BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

At tho Presbyterian Gonoral Assembly on Saturday, tho Roy. McKenzio Fraser handed In the roport of tho Committee on tho peti tion of Georgo Grant. Tho report recom mended tho Assembly to adviso Mr G. Grant to withdraw from the Church, and turn his attention to some other profession than tho Christian ministry. The Assembly unanimously agroed to adopt the report and forward a copy to Mr Grant. Rev. Mr Treadwell, speaking on the Education Act, thought there were several points requiring amendment, and especially in its non-religious character. He thought there was great need for religious teaching in day echools, and he would therefore liko the Assembly to take into consider ation such measures as would bring about a change in our purely secular Education Act. He believed that the present Act was adopted simply as a con cession to a small party of Freethinkers of tho colony,—Rev, .\V. Calder expressed tho opinion that it was unworthy of this Church to remain in a negative position when other denominations were considering this important question, -r- Rer. Mr Ogg objected to the present system of education because it was Iroo. Ho believed that few children in Scotland received any good from Bible teaching in day schools, and he thought it was impracticable in our schools*. —R«v. Mr MoKenzio Fraser considered free education a mistake, but thought the State should provide moral ns well as intellectual training. After further dis flussion a motion was carried :—" That the ro-lntroduction of denominationalism would be disastrous to tho interests of education in general, but the present Education Act should bo amended co that the olause re lative to the purely secular character of the educatien should be expunged, and that a provision bo mado to give committees power to allow religious instruction under a conscience clause.

A committee was appointed to co-operate with other bodies in securing the objects of tho resolution.

Wellington, yesterday. On resuming this morning, the General Treasurer's report was received, and showed that the Church was in a prosperous condi tion as regards funds. The report was carried. Tho deputies from tho Church of Otago wore received, and conveyed to the Assembly the fraternal greetings of the Southern Church, and the Assembly was addressed by thorn on tho question of union.

[BY TKLEGRAFI]—PHKSS ASSOCIATION.]

CmusTCHuneir, this day. On Saturday, the Tasmaman team resumed their first innings in tho return match, and ran up a good total of 193, of which Gate house contributed 62 and Halo 38. The fielding of the local men was vory bad, or the score might have been much less. The second innings for Canterbury was then started, and after some interesting play, in the course of which Barnes and Wilding made a croditablo stand, all were out for 130.

POLICE COURT.-Yesterday.

[Before Mouare Prims and Clayton, JtuticM.] A Pitcheb Full. — Ann Pitcher was brought up on charge* of drunken ness and vagrancy.—Prisoner denied the charge of vagrancy. — Constable Mitohell deposed that the prisoner nerer did any work, but was usually found at a brothel in Chancery Lane, kept by a deaf man named Ingham.—Prisoner said she would go away by steamer if let off— The Bench adjourned the case until Wedj needay. Drunk.—James Donovan, an American citizen, was fined ss, and James McOuoch, commercial traveller, was fined £5, or in default 14 days' imprisonment. VAOBANor.—Elizabeth Diedrick was re manded for a fow days.

Lauuenv. — Walter John York was brought up on four charges of larceny, viz., the sum of ss, the property of Frank Robert sbaw, £0 from Thomas Akers, and £1 5b from John Paterson.—The prisoner, a boy of 12 years, burst out crying on being placed in tho dock, and wanted his " da da !"—The boy pleaded guilty to the lighter charges, but in the £G charge some evidenco was necesßary. Mr Akers was not present, and the amount was reduced to 40s, as about half the amount was taken by another boy. — Sergeant White explained that the money ■wastakon from Mr Akers's coat pocket at the Western Springs. The boy was suspected, and the money mostly found upon him.— Tho father of the boy, residing in Nclboii- Btrcet, said he could not account for hie son's conduct. He had taught him to be honest, and dona his best for him as a father.—The Bench considered tjiat the father might havo controlled a hoy of such tender years. The law, unfortunately, did not give tho Bench the power to punish the parents. Tho child must go to prison for sjx months.

False Prbtbnce,—John Margetts was charged with obtaining by false pretence tho sum of £4 15s from Joseph Caffery, of tho Auckland Hotel, with intent to defraud. —Remanded until Friday, as it was likely that several similar charges would be brought against prisoner.—Mr Brassey, i» defence, asked for bail.—Sergeant White said it must be substantial bail, or he must oppose it. The prisoner was arrested in Wellington.—Bail allowed, himself in £50, and two sureties in i 25 each.

The children were often seen sitting in different parts in the suburbs, and on the approach of respectable-looking persona they would burst into tears and say, " Lost a two-shilling piece; mamma will beat me I" Tho sympathising people would then drop money int") the Tap? of the children, and they would wipe away their tears. Tho children were a pest to citizens,—Mrs Dew son hero broke forth into hysterical sobs, and implored the Bench to be merciful, and not separate her and her dear children. Sho would willingly pay for the turnips . The Bench were evidently touched with a feeling of sympathy, and allowed the chil dren to leave the Court with their apparently broken-hearted mother.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Btar.) Dear S!r,-I wish to add my testimony to the efficacy o< the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your oolumna have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persona oil known reßpeetability, and having satisfied my solf or tho genuineness of thi ourea effected, I obtalnod a bottle, scarcely hoping it would buo ceed in relieving me. For the ptwt seven months I havo suffered severely from a pain ful attack of aciatioa, which, in spite of the most able treatment on the part of my raodi cal advisor, continued to hold its own in my system. My Bleep at last bogan to be affected, and my wholo system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. Tho ssiatlca was principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at times was most excruciating. In spite'of the moat thorough applications, and the grcat ost care and attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable) rollof, and at last, as a forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My Bleep soon returned, and each application afforded mo relief. At first I re garded tho cessation from pain as only a tomporary ono, scarcely daring to hope that tho cure was complete; but I have gr&torully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain—in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried the Oil in abso lute despair. I had had. no sleep for throe or four nights previously, and my system was vory low. The succobs. however, is oomplete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors ol the Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard it as the greatest boon of tho ago. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Lbs. Ashbowne, Mudgce, November 12,1883. THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT. "Clarence Cottage, " Thomas-street, Balmaln, "2lßt August, 1883. " Publishers Evening Stab, " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a severe attack of rhuematism in my back, which gavo me no end of pain and trouble. I used St. Jacob's Oil, and in one or two applications the pain entiroly left. Since then I nave had occa sion to use tho Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. Jly wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friendß to do so. " Yours truly, "W. p. Booth." IT CONQUERS PAIN.

AUCKLAND PROVINCIAL BEE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.

Beekkepeks' associations are a very com* mon institution in the United States of America and Canada, where modern aplcul t»re, as it is termed, hasreceived its groat«-t impetus and reached a higher point towaids perfection than in any other quarter of tha world; and this has in a great measura been caused or assisted by numerous bee keepers' associations. These associations are now so widely spread throughout the States that it would be rather a difficult matter to find a district containing fifty beekeepers in which there is not a beekeepers' association, either upon a large scale or a small one, holding ita meetings within a reachable distance All havo regular meetings at frequent intervals, either in a centrally-situated hall, or at the apiary of some beekeeper on one side of the district, meetings being held at places so aa to bring them within short distance of each member in turn, and also to enable mem bers to show each other the practical method of working in use in his apiary. Then a number of these associations combine to gether to hold a great annual meeting, which they term a Convention, so that tha work of the preceding year may be reported and commented upon. At all these meet ings essays upon matters in connection with apiculture are read and criticised, new inventions are shown, hints towards im provement given, and questions put regarding any matter on which the ques tioner would like light to bo thrown by those with more experience perhaps than himself. A few of the beekeepers in the Franklin district have been for several months agitating and discussing tho idea of forming an association, until they felt that there was a sufficient amount of interest created to justify them in calling a meet-. Ing; nearly sixty invitations were senfc out for a meeting at Pukekoha on Saturday last, and though many, in conse quence of being still engaged with the tail end of their harvest work, weve unable to attend the meeting, yet we understand there were only five of the whole number who refused to join, either preferring to derive all their knowledge from books, ov adhering to the "old fogy " system of gin case and sulphur pit. Mr Hnmlin, M.H.R. for the district, was expected to take the chair, but was reluctantly compelled to break his engagement in consequence of having to attend at the same hour a most important meeting in connection with the cavalry troop at Waiuku ; Mr Morgan, of Pukekohe Eait, was therefore called to tba chair. After a little amount of what may ho. termed conversational speechifying, re solutions wore carried for the formation of an association called, " The Auckland Pro vincial Beekeepers' Association." It was resolved that Mr J. C. Firth, Auckland, be invited to accept office as President of tha Association; that Messrs Cnpt. Hamlin, Capt. Jackson, R. Proude, J. Hopkins, and J, Bagnall, Ben., be elected Yice-Presidente; Mr Collins, Treasurer ; .and Dr. Dakiol, Secretary. Messrs Brown, Beloe, and Sprout were appointed Executive Com-" mittee members j and Messrs Elliott, Brown, Beloe, Morgan, Bovuu, J. Allen, J.
