It is proposod to form a Political Club In Christehurch, on a basis similar to that of tho Cobdon Club In England. Dr. Koyworth has resigned bis position as resident Surgeon of Wellington Hospital in consequence of ill-health.

A fireman named Kelly, belonging to tho s.s. Ringarooma, who was very Hi from inflammation of the lungs, was being ro uioved from tho vessel to tho Hospitaliu a cab on July 8, whon ho suddonly explrod. Kamo, nonr Whangarel, has beon pro claimed a town undor tho Town Districts Act of ISBI. Tho first olection of iivo com missioners takos placo on tho 16th July noxt, Mr W. A. Smith boing Returning Officer.

Gisborno Working Men's Political Asso ciation met on tho Ist of July, and adopted constitution and rules. It was proposod that Sir Geo, Groy bo elected president, but ho was rejected in favour of a local man, Mr Sandlant.

Tho Acclimatisation Society, in view of tho fact that rabbits havo existed in this province for 40 years past withot having become a pest, have declined to sanction tho introduction of stoats, mongooees, and such liko animals.

Tho municipality of Apia, Samoa, having spare funds nt their disposal, havo agreed to offer a subsidy, if an equal amount is subscribed by tho public, for a vessel to intercept the Californian mail boat od' Tutuila, going and returning between San Francisco and Auckland.

The body of Captain Murdoch McKonzio was brought up from Bluff by tho Arawata on 1-ltli July, and about .') p.m. tho funeral, which was largely attended, took placo. Tho various vessels in harbour carried their flags at "half-mast" in token of respect for the memory of tho deceased. During tho temporary absence of tho Gov ernor from tho colony, tho formal acts for which his signature is nocossary will be performed by tho Hon. G. Watorhouso, M.L.C., ns deputy. His Excellency is to return by tho mail 6teamor which is due at Auckland on tho 22nd July " Thoughts by the Way " is tho title of a noatly-printcd volume of pooms just issued from the local pross. Tho contents do great credit aliko to tho head and heart ot the authoress, Miss Susie Seaman, and wo have no doubt tho book will find its way into many homes in Auckland and surrounding districts.

Besides thoir duties in amateur surgery; otlicers of ships aro oxpectod to act as amateur constables when called upon. For refusing to assist the police in arresting somo disorderly sailors on board tho barque Hudson, at Wellington, the mate, Albert Kemp, was on July 8 fined £20, or in default, ono month's imprisonment. A point of interest to hotolkeopors has been raisod at Wellington in the form of an appeal from a decision by the Resident Magistrate. Tho point is whether or not a publican secures himself against proceed ings, undor the Adulteration Act, by post ing a placard in his bar stating that all liquors sold were adulterated with water. The question is to go before the Supremo Court for decision.

Thero now appears a possibility of tho early olosing movement being carried to a successful issue. The credit is, however, not attributable to the long-suffering and poorly-paid employe's who drag onto miser able existence behind counters Doth by day light and by gaslight, but to tho ladies committee of the Blue Ribbon Army, who have offered to give every assistance in the cause. They propose to make a house-to-houße canvass,acdsocuring signatures to a memorial from ladles pledging themselves to shop early and support tradesmen who close at reasonable hours.

An excited ceuple were moving round in the vicinity of the Police Station during July 15 and 16. The man complains that his wife levanted to Sydney by tho Arawata during the 15th July, while the woman is agcricved because of similar infelicity on the part of hor husband, and to make matters more complicated it would appear that the couple eloped together. _ The sor rowing husband and wife are anxious that the departed couple should be brought back again; but an irreverent policeman suggosted that the " lonesome pair" should make it up together, and let the unfaithful ones go. It has not yet transpired what proceedings are to bo taken in the matter. Tho Official Assignee's report on the bankrupt estato of W. Waring Taylor, merchant, Wellington, disclosos somo ex traordinary facts. A statement supplied by him to the' National Bank of New Zoalnnd on tho Ist March, ISB4, shows to his credit un amount of £20,574, but with tho oxeop tion of tho sum of £5,050, he altogether omits to include in his liabilities any trust moneys whatever in his hands, although he must havo known that he owed an ad ditional sum of £43,355, viz., to the May estato, Rhodos's estate, and several others. He had transferred to his own name 1,014 Bank of Now Zealand shares, held in trust, and had sold some of thorn to stavo off creditors- Bankrupt's books and papers wero most irregularly kept—some ledger accounts not having beon added up for years, whilo tho books had not been balanced since 1873. His household and personal expenses averaged over £1,600 per annum. Tho mooting of creditors to whom the report was submitted on Tuesday ap pointed two supervisors to go into the books. . . „

A Committco meeting of the Now Zea land Art Students' Association was held at the Museum lecture-room on Monday, July 14, at which there^was, as usual, a good attendance After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and con firmed, a good deal of discussion ensued as to tho best means of giving further pub licity to tho various competitions to take place at the approaching exhibition, and it was resolved to have a circular issued giving the dates upon which works would be received for the exhibition, and requesting possessors of Maori car vings, mats, weapons, &c, to oblige by forwarding the same for exhibition as a loan collection. It was stated that arrangements had been entered into by which all works for the competitors are to bo delivered at the Choral Hall, Symonds-street, on the 6th of October, and other exhibits on tho 10th and 11th of the same month. Some correspondence was read on tho subject of the Maori trans lation of "The Old Order Changoth," of which 28 different versions have been re ceived.

A letter was read from the manager of tlio Savings Bank, stating that the sujm of nearly £24 had been deposited to tlio Credit of the Aeeooiation. It wos proposed and seconded that the following petition be presented for public signatures:—"To the Various Retail Tradesmen of Auckland.— Believing that tho shortening of tho houra of labour in the retail establishments will tend to benefit all engaged in the aamo, we, tho undersigned, do hereby agree to aid and assist the Early Closing Association by pledging ourselves to shop early, and pat ronise only those shops, that will closo on Saturdays at 6 p.m." It was agreed that tho Secretary bo empowered to get 200 copios of tho potition printed, and, torward some of tho same to the Socretary of tho Ladies' Blue Ribbon Army, and others wil ling to assist, for distribution. It was also ogreod thataman be engaged to walk up and down Quoen'Btrootwithalargeprlnted poster on his bodli, " .Don't shop after 0 p.m. Avoid thosd shops that will not closo at 6 p.m.," etc., and that bunting bo dlsplayod across tlio centre of Queen-street with the samo inscription; Mr \V. L. Mitchell and Mr McGregor were elected auditors for tho ensuing yedr. A Vote of thanks to the Chairman closed tho mooting. Tho will of tho lato Captain Johnstone, of Raglan, who committed suicide some months ago, is o decided curiosity in its woy. It runs thus : —" I bequeath my eon 1 to tho great Creator, who sits throned with' the caro of millions of worlds, which, I boliove.Ho govorns by (ixod laws. Through His infiiiito mercy I hope for progressive happiness after this lifo, which is, possibly, a punishment for ' alns done In somo old world.' I bequeath my body to tho firo. I believe burning the dead to bo classical, cloanlyi and witli respect to tho living for sanitary and other reasons, thobostmodoof disposing of tho dead. 1 request that my family do not go into mourning for mo. My wifo, Emilia Johnstone, is provided for by tho marriage settlement to an oxtont I am not in a position to increase I bequeath all my property, real and personal, of which I may dio possessed in equal shares to my children (nameß). I desire my sons to strive against the ahomiiablo injustice of tho swindlers calling thomeolvos tho Govornmont of Now Zealand, who, for tho purpose of enriching thomsolvee, have borrowoa many millions from the people of England, Avhom I havo repeatedly warned through the press of England tha*; thoy will lose their monoy. The rising generation of Now Zealand is not answerable for the debts thus contracted by English odvonturers. They neither bor rowed nor benefitted by this money, but on Hie contrary It Is the cause of our now Buffering incieased taxation on tho necos flaries ot life. I desire my sons to expect tho day when it will be tholr duty to resist the repayment of this money, of whloh the other Island has hod the lion's share of tho plunder."

ADDRESS BY SIR JULIUS VOGEL.

Sir Jui.ius'VooiiL addressed tho electors of Christehurch North through the newspapers on July 15. He claims credit for having ro-inspirod confidence. Ho refers to 1880, when tho Government provonted thousands of valuable farmers with capital and know ledgocoming out from Home. He deprecates tho attacks on him on the ground of ex travagance as cruel in tlio extreme, and from none moro than from Major Atkinson. At Ashburton ho had admitted responsi bility for thirteen millions, because he did not wish to appear to shirk responsibility, but ho ought to have doducfcsd nearly a million of Imperial guaranteed bonds un nogotiotod and a million authorised in 1876. Ho continues:—" But, as betweon me and Major Atkinson, I might havo gone much further. Major Atkinson joined me in 1874, ond ho had charge of the limuico during fifteen months Iwas away. Major Atkinson was party to the four mil lions loan of 1874 nnd to tho million in 1876; and deducting thoso, my responsibility, apart from Major Atklnßon, is £8,000,000 only. A number of mon now to public lifo who hove no knowlodgo of mo, excopting that when I was out of tho way it became convenient to moko mo tho typo of on oxtravaganco in contrast with tho asserted economy of others, have thus conceived a false idoa concorning mo. Thore is just as Uttlo truth in his economy as in my oxtravoganco. Major Atkinson, by muddling his accounts into a numbor'Of divisions and having recourse to a varioty of temporary oxpedionts, deceives himself and deceives others as to what he iB doing. Ho will leovo tho Treasury with an immenso amount of debt to bo either borrowod permanently or kept afloat by temporary expedients." Sir Julius Yogel goes on to twit Major Atkinson for appear ing to think that whon a railway Is made its advantages havo coased, unloss to uso as a taxing machine. Ho declares that a change of Government should take place on the Houso mooting. He does not desire offico, but will not sliWf re- H|K)nsibilifry. Ho would be quito oon tent to stand aside and support mon whose policy he approved. With regard to the West Coast railway, ho thinks so highly of it that ho would be prepared to support. Its immediate construction by the oolony, fail ing arrangements for private enterprise with Government aid. Ha concludes by acknowledging the consideration shown him, and says that nothing bmt physical in ability had kept hkn from Christohuroh.

Hardly a day passes without my finding some thing in iIH pages both Interesting and mstruc- Iva. It Is a book that should ho in every senior's house in the colony.

I feel that its merits and Usefulness in re lation to all practical subjects, on which a »i-ti lor's comfort and success depend, render it a iici'caiurynppcndngoto ovoryhome in Now Zen .mil.- Faithfully yours, G.

Managing Director ol the Auckland Timbor Company, and a praetlcal colon let of long experience, writes:— "Sir,—l have looked over your Skttlkus' Guide, and consider It one of tho most useful and valuable books for tho New Zealand Bcttlcr over published. Tho Information is so varied, and the advice so practical. A single paragraph will often bu found worth more tha? the cost, of the book. Mit T.

It la a book that should ><t not only in every farmer's library, but shoiild ul«o be on evory colonist's book-shelf, no mattar in what line of colonial industry he or sho may ha engaged, Thero Is information for all. In looking backovcr a pored of Hyears' of hard colo aiftl work how much valuable time and moneyi might have been savod if attho beginning such a fund of information bad been availablo te guide us as is now within the roach of all in tho shape of Brett's Guide. Colonists, who desire to be worthy of the name, should not, from its ele gant appearance or the quality of the material, mako it a drawing - room book, to bo looked at and admired as ono would a picture or a curio; thoy should have It on the mantle-shelf, tho sofa, tr the comer of the table: In fact, anywhere so thai tho eye of Father, Mother, Johnny, and Jenny, and oven tho helps, may havo a chance of look ing at it during spnr_p minutes In tho heat of maimer or iho lnclomoney of winter.
