Some discussion followed, and Mr Ooldic moved that an opportunity bo given to Mr Talbot to submit an explanation to the Board. He understood that this had been agreod to at last mooting.—Mr Moss agreed with Mr Goldio, and tho Chairman supported it Ho considered that in all fairness Mr Talb"t should be furnished with the head teacher's report, m that ho might reply to it it ho thoUght fit SO to do.—Messrs Luko and Clark acceded to flic request of tho Committeo to make a transfer.—lt was finally agreed that the matter bo referred to the Committee for roport, and that the Committee be askad to furnish Mr Tulbot with a copy of the complaints made, in order that he might be in a position to reply to simo.

This matter was deferred. .„.!.■ Aitlicatioxß.—The lemainder of the busi ness contested of applications for small grants, teachers' buildings, ico. Mr Holms, who had retired during the elec tion, took his scat and expressed his thanks to the committees who had shown their confidence, in him by placing him in such a roepcctablc position on the poll. That Ml committees had voted showed that they were notindifferentasto their rights and privileges, as Bomo people would lead us to suppose, and he accepted tho vote now recorded as a complete answer to those who had endeavoured to impugn his past action in the Hoard. He need not say another word on this su'ijoct; ho could afford to be generous, and let the past be forgotten, and "let the dead bury their dead." He had been a member of the Hnard of Education many years ago under the old Provincial nystem, and had seen its evils, and was now, and hoped ho ever would be, a supportor of tho present system. Wo wero doing a great and good work. Hocould not tofrain from saying a word or two about tho idea that hadbocn mooted about administer ing all the affairs of education in this provincial district from Wollinfrton, by a Minister 'or Commissioner, doing away with the Boards of Education, and centralising the whole in Wellington. Tho proposal was preposterous, and ho vontured to say the people, tho committee?, would nevor submit to such a monstrous proposition. Tho committees elected tho Board. We had tho charge of their into.ests; aodif wo wero unfaithful to our trust, they would replace us by men in whom they liau conlidencc. At any rate, the commit tecs hadlocal self-Kovernmont.and wo wore responsible to them and he felt quite certain the committees would never give up any of their rights in this reßpect. Ho (Mr Hobbs) felt the responsibility of the position ho now occupied, and he would now afresh dovoto himself to looking after the interests of education throughout this pro vincial district in particular, and tho colony as a whole. Ho again thanked the committees who had voted for him.

Swift's "Tale of a Tub."

(To the Editor.) Sir,—There are persons who deem them selves possessed of more exquisite moral sensibilities than ordinary men ; they would fain obtrude upon men of grosser mould their gratuitous services as moral nuisance inspectors ; they Imagine they are adding to tlio amenitie? of lifo by searching for un inviting objects which better-bred folk quietly ignoro, and by turning the lime light of their virtuous indignation upon them, so as to show to all men what a very filthy specimen they have been happy enough to discover. To them a nuisance is not half nuisanco enough unless it is conspicuously exalted by their denun ciations. Doubtless a cheap reputation for stainless purity is to be ob tained by making a fuss about ill savours which come between tho wind and our nobility. From " Studont's " letter of Thursday there would appear to be some such persona in Christchurch, who, in their anxiety to be severely moral and prevent others from reading what they themselves profess to have road without injury, would fain correct an erring University. The New Zealand University has chosen for 1884 that special period of literature of which Pope and Swift are tho best representatives. Some special works of these two authors have also been selected as most generally useful to the student. Ono of these works is the "Tale of a Tub," a masterly picco of satire on the current of contemporary thought and ovente, and a book which, when read with proper understanding of the allusions,should afford great pleasure and instruction to any student of intelligence. But, alas ! It con tains passages quite unfit for copy-book headings. Hinc lacrimac, or rathor hinc ululatus. Any student with a healthy con stitution of mind will peruse the great body of tho book with infinite enjoyment, and when ho reaches a passage which is more graphic than elegant, ho will simply hold his nose and pass on without taint and with out remark. To tho pure all things are puro; butyourpudibundalarmistwiththeapprecia tion of a carrion-fly settling on the Parthenon, will forgot the excellence of art, the lesson conveyed, the admirable sarcasm and literary skill ; and with a soul that can ex pand to. the full appreciation of the lewd, ho will drag forth the offending passage, and display it with disgusting self-satisfaction to tho sight of men who have no wish to inspect it. To read tho book systematically through with a mixed class would not be profitable, but it is certainly my own intention to explain its allusions and bearings, and to point out its litorary merits, giving my hearers credit for as much moral security as is possessed by tho dainty society of Christ church. Shakspore, Milton, oven tho Bible, have thoir ignoranda, but the Bible and Milton and Shakespere can endure any number of minute objections; and so, I opine, can the bitter Dean. "Student" is evidently a student of the right sort, who, ■when he comes across n muddy spot in a magnificent road, stops lightly over it with out any desiro to Ho down and wallow.— Yours, <fee, Thos. G. Tuckkb. Parnell, March 14th, 1884.

BICYCLING.

John Rolfe, Esq., champion bicyclist of Kng> §§ tend and Australia, who at present is open to fun a long-distance race with any bloyolist f of Iho diampionship of the world, gives his per- m Sofia! experience of the valuable propertlea o| St. Jacob's Oil, as wsed by him in his recent contest with Jaa Watson lor the championship M of Australia 268, Elizabeth-street North, ' f ; 9 Melbourne, Ylctoria, ' ;;i?J 23rd November, 1883, i\ To1 theEdltof Acokiafd Kvenino Stab. . Dear Sir,—l doslre to add my cheerful endow* ment of the good effects I have at all times re-1 H| ceived from the use of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent , a 6 days' contest held in the Melbourne Exhlbi- 11 Son Building for £500 and the championship of ■ the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my' boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, and the re- ' sulta simply astonished me. After riding for 8' consecutive hours each day, viz., from half -past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become * i - sore and stiff from over-exertion, but after a§ being well-nibbed with the oil all muscular '- pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh i as ever. As proof positive.af tor the contest was over, I rode 100 miles against time before a pub- ; lie audience and accomplished it in 8 hours 11 minutoa4siseconds. AnotherapplioationofSt : ; Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feet , . Ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for anothsi <m race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, ;: and I shall never enter a Bimilar contest wiihout a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all " wheelmen" and other | athletes to giro it a trial, and feel fully odd- m vinoed their experiences will compare lave* m *W' withmyoWnir em ain.ae«Sir, Yours truly, JOBNBoLn.

Collis Browne (Late Army Medical Staff), to which hn gave tho naiuo of CHLORODYNE, and whioh Is admitted by the profession to bo the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts liko a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery.

Dear Sir,—Wo cmbraeo this opportunity of congratulating you upon tho wide-spread roputation this justly csteomed medicino, Dr J. Collis lirowne's Chlorodyne.haa earned for itself, not only in Ilindostan, but all over tho East. As a remedy of Rcngral utility, we much question whether a better is imported Into tho country, and we shall bo glad to hoar of Its finding a placo in overy Anglo-Indian home. Tho other brands, we aro happy to say, aro now relegated to tho native bazaars, and judging from their sale, we fancy tlioir sqf urn thoro will do but evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinilum of tho extraordinary efilcaey of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyno in Diarrhroa and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, tho Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general soda tivc, that havb occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising controlling power. Wo havo never used any other form of this medicino than Collis Browne's from a firm conviction that it isdecielodlythebcst, and also from a sonso of duty wo owo to tho profession and the public, as we aro of opiuion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is A dbmukkate iikeack of faith ON TIIK VAHTOK 't']lK CIIKMIST TO I'KKSURTKF.R AND PATIENT ALIKE, We aro, Sir, faithfully yours, Symcs & Co..

Tho value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of cifty years.
