Otahuhu Highway Meeting.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin,—No ono would supposo from read- W your correspondent's report of the Otahuhu Road District meeting that the matter respecting the Licensing Acts took place three years ago, and that when two of the three persons who had received copies of the Act tondered payment for them at tho nnntinl meeting in 1882 the ratepayers declined to receive the money, thus recognising that the transaction was perfectly lawfuL In the matter of the clearing tiio far*B Mr Gordon distinctly said that he had not seen to the matter him self, but only spoke from hearsay. One of tho members of the Board explained that tho furze opposite his land had been cleared, »•; tho law directs, to the middle of tho road, find tbe other mem ber elicited that ond -Wall sweetbriar bush had been seen opposite his land, which had apparently escaped the vigilance of the man who had been sent to grub up any furze, sweetbriar, or bramble along his frontage. I cannot help thinking that your "own correspondent" would have bettor consulted the dignity of tho press in general, and your paper in particular, if he had given ail impartial account of tho meeting instead of lending himself and the re. portable paper he represents to the aggra vation of one of those trumpery squabbles which are so frequent in small communities. The remarks put into the mouth of the Chairman about the advertising and the peoplo of Otahuhu reading the Star are wholly inaccurate, but I need not trouble you about that.—l am, &c, The CHAIRMAN.

Art Training.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin,—A correspondent In your issue of Saturday evening give, expression to his opinion on art training, to which opinion I wish to give my unqualified dissent. I must protest against the assumption that the painting or delineation of landscape requires less knowledge of form, or inferior abilities, to what is required for figure painting. The two types of art are totally dissimilar; so much so that a good tiguie painter is usually a miserable failure at landscape (despite his art train ing) and vice versa. And I am fully pursuaded that ft requires as much knowledge of form to givetho characteristics of the multitudinous varieties ot vegeta tion as to give the various types of the human face or figure, for there are far more types of vegetation than there are of animal life; and to represent the one correctly requires as much art and realisation as the other. If Mr Gully had gone through the curriculum -.quired by the Royal Academy, he might nave made a good figure painter; but he would, in all probability, havo been ruined as a sui generis painter of New Zealand scenery, and his pictures might, perhaps, have been only worth 25 pence, instead of the hundreds spoken of by yourcorrespondent. Do riot misunderstand me—l am not running down art training, but I mean to assert that the train ing of the Royal Academy, however suited to produce art in figures, is milch more likely to ruin than to help those whose tastes, genius, and associations lead them altogether into the domain of landscape. I would wish to again point out (what I have frequently urged) that to represent ac curately the scenery of a totally new Country we must divest ourselves of old world and antiquated notions oi art, -md begin lie novo at Nature's shrine. [ prefer to trust to genius in these matters instead of trusting to laboriously inculcated antediluvian ideas of the moral fitness of things in art matters, which, no matter how applicable to Euro pean conditions, are utterly inapplicable to New Zealand, and moreover are utterly subversive of all originality, and recognise no art that travels out of the old, time honoured, well-worn groove. According to these conservatives, who assume to lay down tho law on art matters, art must eier reach backwards to the antique, and never presume to reach forward. True, the world ia progressing with ever accelerated -.peed, but though Art's twin sister Science, shaking off the trammels if tho past, is found in the ran of p: ogress, art—chained down by academical dogmas—still remains where she was at the beginning, and is hounded back into that position should she ever make an attempt to itruggle forward or burst her chains. Why should this be so ? Why should Science be allowed and encouraged to soar while her si.ter Art is chained and clipped ?—1 am, 1 &c, Alfred S___rE.

Persecution of a Teacher.

(To tho Editor.)

Dear Sir,—My attention was drawn to a paragraph in the " Herald's " report of the Auckland Board of Education of a remark m-de by MrCarr in respect to tbe scholastic character of tho late mistress of Mount Roskill School as being " a good teacher, but too dilatory." Will that gentleman hare the hontsty to explain the grounds upon which he makes that public^ de famatory accusation ? It comes not within my province to know anything of state ments made by the Inspector, whoever he might bo, but we do know somewhat of the general treatment shown toward that lady by Mr Carr from the first day of her ap pointment to the school of the Mount Roskul District by the Auckland Board of Educa tion. It seems fairly evident that in order to understand this gentleman's motives we must look a little below the surface. Miss Fletcher's appointment to that school was made independently of the Mount Roskill Committee, an act which has since been supposed not exactly in accordance with the views entertained by those gentlemen, and -which. Tmqnesticraahly, -was In itself quite sufficient to move the choler of a man who looked upon him* self as Chairman and Committee combined. Now what was the result? Why such a systematic course of petty annoyances for three years that became utterly intolerable, and it was only from a stern sense of personal honour that she endured the persecution and resisted all the entreaties of hor friends to seek another appointment. As the accusation is made, will Mr Carr produce any correspondence wherein Miss Fletcher's attention to her school duties was ever questioned ? And if so, will it not bo well for him to produce same, and clear himself from tho public mind as a public traducer of a public servant? I do not suppose that this mistress wili need any eulogium from Mr Carr as to her abilities—she has ever carried them in pos session. Her scholastic success in the Old Country is endorsed on the parchment which she holds as her diploma by Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, her letters of introduction to Bishop C.wie, and to the late Mayor (McCosh Clark, Esq.), from ladies and gentlemen closely connected with educational interests.—l am, &c, Fair Play.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To tho Editor of Evening Star.) Dear Sir,—l wish to, add my testimony to the efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns havo contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from personß of known respectability, and having satisfied my self of tho genuineness of th. cures oflbctcd, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping It would suc ceed in relieving me. For tho past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the most able treatment on the part of my medi cal advisor, contlD _cd to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. Tho s-latica was principally located in my left thigh, and the pain at times was most excJ.-uciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, - ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, a. •_ forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time the pain began to diminish. My sleep soon retumod, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded the cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; out I have gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain--in fact, a man again. I must confess t'oat I tried the Oil In abso lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or four nights previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend It to every sufferer who comeß within rango of my influence What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard It as tfte greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, John Leb. Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.

THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT.

"Clarence Cottage, " Thomas-stroet, Balmain, " 21st August, 1883. "Publishers Evening Star. " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a severe attack of rhuematism in my back, which sare5 are me na end of pain and trouble. I used St. acob's Oil. and in one or two'applications the pain entirely left. Since then I li_w_ had oecar sion to use the Oil on a badly-sprainwl wrist, and its effect was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with

equally satisfactory results. I consider St Jace/b's Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, but shall reborn mend my friends to do so. "Yours truly, "W. P. Booth, IT CONQUERS PAJN. IT CONQUERB PAIN. IX CQIiS .SSS PAfif.

SIR G. GREY AT DUNEDIN.

[BY tfEf-EORAPH— PRESS association, J

Dchedin, Sunday. Sir George Grey addressed a large meet ing in the Garrison Hall last night. Ha had an enthusiastic reception. Hb ad dress was in the main a repetition of hfe, Christchureh address, dealing with the* necessity of rousing the working douce, to _ seiiso of the disabilities under which they labour and of put* ting on a land tax to cause the bursting; up of large estates. He opposed the expen diture of money on immigration, and spoke oi tho wisdom of the people of New Zealand remaining a united people to build up a great ana glorious nation. He enumerated the advantages which Liberalism had gained during the last few years. By the demolitiaa of the barrier erected in the Legislative Council hall.beyond which M.H.R. s, when they went to hear the Governor's speech, had to stand, they had secured for the re presentatives—for the people—tho right to sit in the presence of the Council. They had opened the profession of the law toany man who passed an examination in general knowledge. They had secured Triennial Parliaments, and had extended the fran chise. There was continued applause at the close of the address. Mr Thome (President of the Trades and Labour (Souncil) proposed a vote of thanks to Sir George, and of con fidence in him as a leader of the people. Ho attempted to speak to it, bnt the meeting woald not listen to him, nor to Mr Forme, M.A. (Vice-President), who seconded tho The motion was carried by acclamation.
