SPORTING NEWS.

In-sporting circles yesterday afternoon, it was rumoured that Clarence Would probably not be allowed to ran at the Hawke's Bay Steepleohafee Meeting on Thursday Bext, owing to having been disqualified by the Wauganui Jockey Club. It will be remem bered that at their Steeplechase Meeting last month only Clarence and Blllygo-by- W went to the post for the Grand Stand Steeplechase, and when the starter dropped his flag, the latter did not attempt to start, and returned to the paddock, leaving Mr Pilbrow's horse to walk over for the stake. This, of courso, mot with the disapproval of the lookers-on, and the stewards held a meeting to consider the matter, when it was decided to refer it to the Grand National Club at Christchurch, under whose rules they were racing. From last Monday's " Wanganui Herald >: I gather that a telegraphic reply has been roceivedj and the decision arrived at by the ChristchUrcih Club is to the o.ffect that .Clarence shall be disqualified for six thonths, and Hedge. BiUy-gO-by-'em, and his rider, be disqualified for even A private telegram received in town from Christchurch states that Sou'-woster has been backed this weok to win the N.Z. Cup to the extent of £5,000. Mr W. Weston has evidently had enough of his jumping horse Schmoozer, for I notice that he has disposed of him to a Chrißtchurcfa sport. Schmoozer was pur chased by Mr Weston at the Thames & couple of seasons back, and was then known as Champagne. Commotion, who has been rusticating in Gippsland, has vastly improved since the Randwick meeting (says the " Melbourne Sportsman"), and the old horse is now as well as he ever was in his life, and will not go to the stud until he haß won a few more races.

The Coming Elections.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —It seems to me that we are on the eve of a great crisis, perhaps by far the greatest that has over occurred in the history of New Zealand. We have, on the one hand, Grey, with progress solid and genuine, leading on to continuous peace and prosperity; on the other, we have Vogel, with glitter, show, shoddy and humbug, ending in mis fortune and dire collapse. It Is now for the people to decide which it shall be; let thoso who are fathers think of their children and their welfare, and remember that he alone builds well who builds solid, and lot us beware of laying on their baoks burdens too heavy for them. Let us beware of raising a shaky structure, that a puff of misfortune may blow down. In Grey, we have a leader tried and safe; in Vogel a loader tried, but wanting. The position reminds oncrrouch of the struggle that took place a few years ago in England between Gladstone and Beaconsfield—a crafty Jew on one side seeking self, and a grand patriot on the other seeking his country's good; The people of England then made a wise and noble choice. That the people of New Zealand will do the same surely must be the hope and desire of every true Patriot.

To Intending Suicides.

(BY PERMISSION OF THE " AUCKLAND STARI.) Dkau Sir, or Lady,—lf you meditate suicide, my advice is—don't. Self-murder does not pay debts ; felo de se does not pre rent a woman from marrying where she chooses to marry. Waiting is quite as necessary as is working. It is the waiting part of life's performance which you suicides cannot perform on this side of the cemetery, but bear in mind that you must wait on the other side of the grave. I believe that there are more than one intending suicide now in Auckland. Read my lines, they are better than clothes lines, razors, strychnine, or bullets. Now as to money. You either can now pay your debts, or you cannot. If you can, pay them, and work to get more money, [f you cannot now pay, ask for legal time to pay, and if you cannot get legal time to pay, claim the usual protection of the Court for the relief of insolvent debtors.

If you are a drunkard, this advice is vain. The first thing for a drunkard to do is to become a sober man. A drunkard never viows socioty as a sober man views it. A sot Bees everything through diseased eyes, proceeding from a diseased brain. He never acts as if he believed that a publican is his enemy. The drunkard makes for himself a life quite different to that which God intended for him. The sot's life is in tolerable. No marvel that he often cuts its thread with suicidal knife or poison., Sober people sometirees get into debt. Keep out of debt. Live within your income. If your income if say £1 per week, and you live on say 18s, you can look the world in the face and need not fear that the world will frown. I don't Bay study all the re quirements of all people, because many people hare very bad requirements—to wit, intoxicant sellers, who kilf both soul and body; but create within yourself a self worthy of respect, and then give that self all the respect of what it is worthy. Self esteem is the motive power which lifts a man or a woman above bid deeds. Love is a passion, as gambling and avarice are passions ; and Cupid, when in his pur est mood, has some adulteration of lust in his composition. Do not give your whole aoul's idolatry to one man or to one woman before you marry. Make no idol of frail flesh. With millions of men and women the flesh governs the spirit. Don't fancy that your Laura or your Juliet is the only woman in the world worthy of homage, and woman, don't—oh I don't give all your faith to one solitary Romeo.

I don't say "Have many strings to your bow," but I do say that it is unwise to have' all the incense of your soul expended on on» person. Let me be plain. In a receut Auckland case of suicide, is it not plain that * certain young man excluded oil women but one from the field; of Love's vision ? And because he thought ho could not get her, he concluded that socioty had no other' comfort - for big heart. There are as good fish in Auckland seas as there are in Auckland shops. When Angelina rejects me, surely the.re may be another Angelina who may accept me, ,md, after all, the Angelina,who rejects me may prove to be a very unsatisfactory wife to Jinks, who thinks that he did a great stroke when ho "out me out," and now that Angelina's eyes are opened by the matrimonial fruit of the hymeneal oak, perhaps she finds that Jinks is not all that her fancy painted him. ' In my opinion women are more sensible than men as to life's ups and down. Na ture, in giving them ,a constitution able to bear the troubles of maternity, at the same time gave them a toughness which enables them to suffer, often, with a Job-like patience. The world has a share of femi nine men ; and a feminine man has not, as a rule, such a good time as has a masculine Woman. The feminine men nearly always commit suicide. The feminine man makes a mistake if he thinks that he is a pet with women. Oh! no. Women like strong limbs, broad shoulders, stouc hearts, and healthy lungs. And, oh ! men I never think that a woman grieves long or deeply when you cut your throat because she jilts you. Woman likes » man to live for her. The next best thing they like (I allude to spinsters) is for a man to die for her. Mad love before wedlock, calm love but constant after marriage ; that is a woman's liking, She is right. She knows that if there is not enthusiasm before wedlock, the humdrum life of conjugality would soon exhaust any mere feeble stream of merely electo-plated affection. Don't cut your throat. Don t bullet your brains. Nature will kill you quite soon enough. Our young land is not enough popu* lated. Far better for you to be a breeder of sinners than to go too soon to a Convoca tion of Worms, where you do not eat but are eaten. Life', not death, is the grand secret. If the poor young man who lately shot himself to death had lived one year longer, additional thought would have probably altered his range of vision. Again, I say to would-be suicides—Wait, and see what you shall, see. The future often acts as a preoious commentary to both the past and present. The brutes work. Man, immortal mam—and woman—should work and wait, should be both active and patient. Keep poison for vermin ; guns for wildfowl; and do not wear your heart upon your sleeve for foul men or women to peck at it. \ " Let us then be up and deing, With a heart for any fate-* Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to.tebour and to wait." —Youra truly, Sylvester Dewbeam. '

THE G ARDEN.

(:-:) Calendar of Operations, June 21.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Planting a Small Gabdbi* (Tree).-In small gardens it is a mistake to plant trceß which grow naturally to a large size. Taken from an artistio point, tho force of tho abovo must be evident. The trees when fully grown should . be in proportion to the size of tho place, and if that be small, tho trees should be selected ao oordingly. There are a large number of ever greens of a small to medium size more appro priate td small places than large pines. In many places when the plants and trees ought to bo at their best, tho whole place is smoth ered by a few large pines. I would advise you to plant only evergreen and deci duous shrubs. These will give you suffi cient shelter in winter, and will look hand some all the year round. Phuninq Nkolkctkd Trees (Fruit).—Thin out all useless, straggling branches; shorten back others that havo gone out of bounds. In pruning and thinning have some regard to tho shape or form which you wish tho tree to obtain. Trees which havo been neglected for some time it will not do to prune severly at first, as it may result in a reaction of robust, healthy, faille gfowthi which will not produce fruit for some ydafsj Trees of the above class require careful management to bring them into decent order. Cultivate such troes about the roots; the roots as well as tho heads need attention. Planting Trees near Swamps (Planter, Wai katd).-The best trees for planting on the margin of swamps are the different varieties of the Eucalyptusi These will assist in drain ing the swamp, besides being one of the fastest-growing trees which have been intro duced into New Zealand ; and in a tevr years they make good timber for firewood. If there are a few weeping willows also planted they look well, and the branches can be cut in summer to assist the quantity of food on the farm. Guano (M.A.G., North Shore).—lf no other fer tiliser id to bo used, a little should be mixed with the soil where each plant is set, and fur ther applications should bo made at the time of hoeing and cultivating the plants during tho summer. A tablespoonful or two thrown around each plant just boforo hoeing and cul tivating, repeating the application, if neces sary, two or three times during the season, is a better way of using guano than applying the same amount all at one time, as is BometTmea practised, liy using the guano as a top dress ing in the way wo have described, it can be covered, with a little soil, which prevents lobs of the volatile parts, and the first shower will carry these down to the roots. Fruit Tree Bkedj3 (B. MoC),—There is no doubt but that the longCßt-lived tree Is ob tained by planting seeds whore the tree ia to grow, and grafting it there without ever re moving it. but it will be longer coming into bearing. This with apples and pears, but with the peach it is the way to insure the greatest possible tardiness with any given variety. Sometimes without grafting you get an ex cellent peach.

Draining Gardens.

During a portion of the season some gardens are too wet for the successful cul tivation of any garden crops. This damp ness arises from various causes. It may be that the garden is situated on the lowest dip of the surrounding surface, to which the water naturally flows in wet weather, or the soil may naturally be of a very retentive nature. Again, the Buiface may be good porous soil, but a bed of retentive clay may ■ be underneath, so that the only means the water has of getting away is by evaporation. Sometimes it ii kept wet through water oozing out of springs from a bed of gravel above it. Now, from whatever causes land is kept in a continual state of moisture, its im neinont can only be accomplished rainage, and unless this is effectually done, the crops on such land will not only be deficient or inferior, but the manure applied to such land cannot have the eatno effect as applied to well-drained soil. Trees Distributing Moisture. It is asserted that a four-year-old eucalyptus tree will take up from the soil 300 pounds of water every twenty-four hjurs, and this is exhaled or thrown off by the leaves into the surrounding atmosphere. A gentleman in California lias 1,500 of these trees growing in the Centre of a farm of 160 acres, and, according to the above - calculation, these trees should exhale 7,500 cubic feet of water every twenty • four hours. It would be interesting to know if this has any perceptible effect upon the surrounding atmosphere. It is said that the eucal>ptus will find moisture in the earth at depths of thirty or forty feet. If what is claimed for these trees is true, they ought to become most valuable aids in draining stagnant pools and swamps, and for purifying the waters thereof.

Horticultural Society.

The Gardeners' Horticultural Society held their first annual meeting on the 11th of this month. The business was the reception of the annual report and election of officers for the ensuing year. The balance-sheet showed assets to about the value of £18 in hand, which says a great deal for the first year of the Society. The following rules were altered:—s. The number of com mittee to be increased to IS, to be com posed of 12 gardeners, 3 amateurs, 2 cot tagers, and 1 bee-keeper. 6. That seven members form a quorum. 9. That exhibits shall be cent in by number only, the name of the exibitor to be inclosed in a sealed envelope. 21. That new subscribers may exhibit in any class on payment of 2e 6d, and be entitled to free admission. The old Committee were re-elected with one excep tion, Mr Bright having resigned and Mr Griffiths being elected instead. Addition to Committee: Amateurs—Messrs C. Hes keth, VV. F. Buokland, Dr. Banders. Cottagers: Messrs T. Philips, J. Ball. Apiarian: Mr H. H. Hayr. Treasurer, Secretary, and Auditors were re-elected. Mr McDonald was elected Chairman of Committee. The Society shows great pro mise of beiag rery successful during the ensuing season.

CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE.

The City Schools Committee met last evening Present: Messrs B. Can- (Chairman), Bhalders, Crowther, Gorrio, MoMaator, Hannan, and Billington.

Changes.—A communication from the Secre tary of the Board notified the following changes in probationers and pupil teachers:—Wellesley. street: Mabol M. Roberts, pupil' teacher, at tached for a few days in the school. High-st i Katherine S. Hode, pupil teacher, has resigned • the resignation to take effect on the 30th inst> Boreaf ord-etrcet: Edith C. Shortt, pupil teacher attached to the school vice Kate Wil, liams, removed. Probationers: Mr English; Mr Blackett, and Mr Adams, removed: Mr Huxtablc, attached to the school for a few weeks; Miss Frost, from Training College, temporarily attaohed to the school during tho absence of assistant teachers through illness, —The Committee approved of the above. Nelson-btkbbtSchooi Mr Hannan moved, and Mr Shalders seconded, " That the Board be requested to advertise for a head-master for Nelson-street 8chool," The motion was agreed to. It was stated that already two applications had been reoeivod for the vacantposition. Beresfobd-strebt School —The Assistant Inspector's return on examination for standards in the Berssford-street School was as follows :— N umber on roll at time of examination. 423 male, and 382 female; examined, 222 male, 189 female; passed, 163 male and 116 female; failed, 53 male and 43 female. The arithmetic, grammar, and composition papers of Standards 5 and 6 were poor. The boys of Standard 3 were weak in spelling and grammar, and the writing of the boya in Standard 6 was inferior. With these exceptions I found the work of this sehoool to be very good, the work of the girlß for Standard 4 being particularly commendable. The discipline and tone of this school are excellent—Tho Com mitee considered the report to be very satis factory.

School Attendance.—Mr McMaster moved, "That, the Board be recommended to grant an increase of 8 per cent, on the rolls of the city aohocls, the Committee having found that the absonces average from 12 per cent, to 17 per cent, on tho whole attendance." This was seconded and agreed to.

THE SOUDAN REBELLION.

[REUTERS TELEQBAMS.]

Tho Plan of tbo British Campaign,

London, June 20,

Thb Marquis of Hartington was questioned last night regarding the military force avail able for service in Egypt, and the possibility of successfully opposing the projected ad vance into Egypt Proper of the rebel Arabs. In reply, the Secretary of State for War declared that the British troops now in that country would, in conjunction with the Egyptian National Army, be suffi cient to defend Upper Egypt against any attack from tho Soudan. Lord Hartington further announced that General Stephenson, who is now in com mand of the British troops in Egypt, will also have the direction of any operations that may be made by the combined fprcesij Egyptian Force to Oppose the Rebels.

Five hundred Egyptian cavalry have been drafted off to proceed to Assouan, where the free navigation of the Nile is inter* rupted by the rebels.

NELSON, iOATE, I AND CQ.'S BLENDED TEAS | VERSUS INDIAN TEAS. iTjIROM a late paragraph and advertise iT ment in the New Zealand Herald," we notice a serious error in the remarks about the increase of imports in Indian Teas. We can as sure all interested that the consumption of Indian Tea has decreased to an alarming extent; so much so that last season the Melbourne and New Zealand markets were glutted, and good, sound, sweet Teas wero selling pence per lb. below cost, and this year the imports are many thousands, of cases below last, making it a very difficult matter to buy even a few hundred cases. '• ■■ ' "'.- .•'-■' ■ The-s ime advertisement alludes to the intro duction of Indians into New-Zealand, with regard to which we beg to draw the attention of the publio to the following local that appeared some time back in the "Lyttellon Times," •howinr NELSON, MOATE, & Co. to be the Largest Importers, and consequently tbe Largest Bellers.'of Indian Tea in New Zealand. We do hot wish to tun Indian Tea down, as it is without doubt, when carefully fired, Sea most Useful Tea to those only experioncedln Uie'ertofßlendincChinaandlndianTeas. Th« Tea by itself will never take the place of China or Blonded Teas, as only about 10% of the Tea Drlnkcra are ever able to drink even toe finest Darjeeling and Assam kinds. ' • In England the conaumpUon of Blended Tea has increase.* to a greater extent than any Ori ginal UnporK-d ten. " The largest importation of Indian Teas to New Zealand teas made last month by Messrs NELSON, MOATE, AND CO. It consisted of over 1,800 packages (chests and half-chests) of Pekoes and Pekoe Souchong, from-.the well known districts ofCachar.Assam, Darjeeling, Shylett, Chittagong, and Dovarg; We art in formed this is one of themany shipments during the year, intended for use in.
