Dr. Begg.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir, —A statement has somehow crept in among your Scintillations which injures the memory of a good and eminent man with out the excuse of having a sparfc of wit. The late Dr. Begg did not make money by stock-gambling. Nothing could be further removed from his character in public or in private than such a vice. If the private fortune which he happened to possess was well invested, no ono ever felt that he was a loser by the good doctor's gain ; and if he gave his able services, as I believe ho did, to religion and philanthropy free, ho ought, at least in this colony, to be " for given this wrong." Neither is it true that Dr. Begg was a Dissenter. He was for many years a minister of the Estab lished Church, and for 40 years a leading Free Churchman, distinguished for his firm adherence to State Church principles. His name will long bo honoured in Scotland, not only for his labours on behalf of religious liberty, but also for his efforts on behalf of the suffering poor, and to obtain " better houses for the working classes." Some of his sons are among our most esteemed Now Zealand colonists; and few tilings can bo more painful than to see a vile slander fixed on a name we honour and love. Dr. Begg was the uncompromising foe of commercial im morality, intemperance, and priestcraft; and wonderful to relate, ho also was rich Uinc Him lacryma

A. M. McC.vllu.m,

[Wo are happy to publish Mr McCallum's contradiction, which would have been more satisfactory, however, had it been more spocilic and less declamatory. Our authority for tho statement was "Truth," the well known London newspaper, which we sup pose is not free from tho human weakness of occasionally circulating an «?i-truth. As for the Imputation, we fail to see it, for there is no particular sin in buying cheap and Helling dear, whether the thing dealt in bo claims or consols, shoddy or railway shares, lie might have done all that, and still have bcon tho foe of commercial immorality. If a Free Churchman is not a Dissenter from tho Established Church of Scotland, wo simply do not know what constitutes one. Wo know there is a narrow Scottish use of tho word "Dis senter " which limits it to certain smaller sects; but the term in the general sense embraces all sects outside the Establish ment.— Eu E.S.]

High Heels: How to Lame a Child.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—One of the most cheery of sights as I walk to town every morning is presented by troops of children, not "creeping unwil lingly," bufcmarchingmcrrily to school, most of them buoyant in spirit, blooming in health, modcUof cleanliness, noatnoss, and elegance. A fow days ago, walking just in front were two schoolgirls, returning home. I could not help noticing how badly they walked, especially tho elder of the two, and, having had some experience of lameness in my own family, I could not help asking : "What is the cause?" That was not far to find; it was the boots .°hc wore. These were, indeed, of the most fashionable type—long lace-ups, with Chinese heels not more than three quarters of an inch or an inch wide, and very high—go high that their decline under the'weight of.a strong, heavy girl was in evitable. The wearer could porhapa find a roomy place for the solo of her foot, but not for the heel, which, in its efforts to make room for itself, had pressed thecobler's heel qn ono side, flattening it down to mother earth. How this threw tho walk awry, and how ungainly tho step, may be readily imagined. But it is not a question of ap pearance only : an unnatural mode of walk ing involves more than ugliness; it is a positive mischief and peril. The walk and the limbs are no longer erect; there is far greater danger of falling, and also of gradu ally inducing some degree of displacement of the hip, and that, in many cases, means lameness for life and untold suffering. May "I respectfully suggest that a Rationalistic Association might linda true and benefi cent vocation, not in fighting and abusing a faith whoso basis lies deep as the neces sities of human nature, and for which no shadow of an adequate substitute is oft'ored, but in seeking reform In all habits and customs universally admitted to be irra tional, e.g., pertaining to dress and to diet. These high heels, to wit, are in vile taste.and simply canicaturo the handiwork of Nature. They are worse than tho Malay's clanking wooden sole, held by a la<-gc-headed nail between two toes, not half so sensible an a. genuino Lancashire clog or as the old leathern eandal. If it is desirable to have malformed feet, toes turning in, and the poor legs describing the arc of a circle at every step, tho whole body waddling and gyrating as if on stilts, or leaning forward as if contemplating a " header," why let us keep to those insane Chinoso heels.—Yours, &c., Paterfamilias. March U, ISB4.

The Society of Arts.

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —I have seen two letters in oneof-your recent issues, both answers to my former communoiation re the new Art Students' Association. Tho gravamon of my com plaint was that the Society of Arts, amongst its numerous prizes and certificates, have none for artists. They are all for amateurs, students, pupils, and fancy art work—nay, when a prize is offered for a special depart ment of art, artists aro expressly excluded from competing. Why this thusness? If tho Society of Arts called itself a society for tho oncouragemont of amateurs and juvoniles and fancy work, well and good; as it is, until they revise tlioir schedule of prizes and rewards they must be content to have their cosmopolitan title considered an utter misnomer. The liberal scale of prizes and the wisdom dis played In the classification thereof by the now Society will probably, whether inten tionally or unintentionally, have tho effect of causing artists to reserve their best works for this Society's exhibitions, where they will not bo ignored in favour of the juvonilo, amateur, and fancy element, and where, in addition to the solid pudding of pales, they have also the chance of the barren but pleasant honours of medals and certificates. I stated that the new Socioty was the product of a widespread dis satisfaction with tho management of the old Socioty. So it is ; not with tho personnel or with tlio objects of the Socioty of Arts, but with its schedulo of prizos, which, as far as artists are concerned, is an u^tcr blank. In conclusion I may say (simply to show that I have no animus in the matter) that I had nothing whatoyor to do with the formation of the now Society.and knew nothing about it till it was fully started, .and its rules, &c, already printed and distributed ; and also that I am a member of both societies my self.—l am, &c, A Well-wisher to Art.

The Poor in England.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The community owe you thanks for your article on Saturday, drawing attention to the homos of the poor in England, and also for your having printed Sir Goorgo Groy's letter on another phaso of tho same social question—tho greatest question which has boen beforo the people for generations, and on which, as you Btate, the future of England depends. The Liberal party, all honour to them, have almost achieved their great work of civil re ligious liberty _; the question now is to secure to all men willing to work thoir fair sharo of Nature's bounty. Tho fearful revelations that are being made of the stato of the poor at Home is exciting great attention, and are being treated as though they wore discoveries. This, of course, is not so; over and over again has tho state of affairs beon pointed outi but the polioy of England has unwittingly led to its increase, and until lately no remedy has been even proposed. Tho Malthusian theory has boen accepted, with tho result on this question of turning practical Englishmen into fatalists of an Oriental type. When tho misory is pointed out to tho statesman, he replies that tho tendency of mankind is to increase fastor than tho means of subsistence, and there fore tho poor must always exist. Statistics, however, point out that the national wealth has increased in a greater degree than the population ; the fault, therefore, must lie in the distribution of the wealth ; to remedy this, is to remedy the evil. The policy of England for two hundred years, as carriedoutbyLordsandCommons.represent ing almost entirely the landed interest, has been to treat land as an individual posses sion, and its rise in value, which is com mensurate with the increase in population, has been absorbed by one small class. Capital to a large extent has been saved from the effects by tho introduction of machinery, but the result on labour has been to divide the same sum amongst a much larger number. The remedy con sists in giving to each man his share of Nature's bounty, tho increased value of the land, and whosoever will show how this can be done, without unduly interfering with or injuring any man's pro perty, will have gone far to solve the question. You say that the gems of this evil already exist ih our social

system, and that there is yet time to apply the remedies to the criminal and pau» perising agencies. I trust yon will point, out what these agencies are, and what are, the antidotes. Charity is useless, and worse. Education is but very partial in its application or in its effects. Temperance will out euro ono of the results of the evil. Its root lies in the inequality of the distri bution of wealth, the cause of which I havel attempted to explain above. If you will use your powerful influence to awaken tho public mind on this question, the thanks of the whole community will be due to 3 ou, and can mark but very slightly the ap. preciation of such an inestimable blessing. Yours, &c, S. Gray. Auckland, March 10, ISS4.

To the Editor Auckland Evenino Stab.

Dear Sir,—l dosiro to add my cheerful endorse ment of the good effects I havo at all times re ceived from tho uae Of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and raoing. During my repent 6 days' contest held in tho Melbourne Exhibl-. tion 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 bulU simply astonished me. After riding for 8 ooneccutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and stiff from over-o^ertion. bnt after belnn well-rubbod with the oil all muscular pain Immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as evor. As proof positive.af tor the content was over I rodo 101) miles against time before ;i pub lic audience and accomplished it in fi hours U minutes «i seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of fatigue and I felt perfectly fit for another race. Am positive it aided me to win the match, and I shall never enter a similar contest withoui a bicycle and St. Jacob's Oil. I strongly advise all "wheelmen" and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ablrwithmyown.remai».aearSir( Yours truly, John Rolr. .
