Mr Reeve keeps his portraiture quite distinct, and his fidelity to tha author's ideal cannot he doubted. More than that, tho actor for the nonce rally becomes Captain Crichton. This fa tha ,ars cdart artem, which is not (fi«a manifested upon the local boards. hit in eider of merit we must place Mrs Chippendale's impersonation of Miss nimore, an unconquerable scandalmonger, tith all the affected prudery and prying bqiiiitiveness that dramatists love to laocute with strong-minded maidens of uncertain age. In Mrs Chippendale's hands lis character is most effective. As the fopulrire young wife Miss Alice Deorwyn (lived with much natural emotion, iw Misa Constance Deorwyn appeared b unuanal advantage a? the fas anting widow. Mr Holloway made a 'Bnlfied and gentlemanly Col. Macdonald, Bd ipoke his lines with great ability. His pUp, or, to be more ptecise, the colour of ■bhair, moustache, and eyebrows were, lowaver, strangely bizarre. As Victor it Eiel, l£r J. B.

It only nofataa to add that the piece was capitally ■mnted,and that it will " run" throughout W week, In the hands of the company it ■tyjld prove a veritable trump card.

DEATH OF MR T. J. WATERS.

With genuine regret we have to chronicle the death of Mr Thomas Joseph Watorn, chief clerk of the Crown Lands Department, and ono of the most affable, courteous, and painstakingofficialsin the entire range of the civil service. He died on Saturday-evening at his residence, Garfield-street, Parnell, from an affection of the lungs. It seeing that the deceased gentleman was drenched to the skin while away from the office to register his vote on tho occasion of the last Manukau election, some twelve months since, and tho wetting resulted in a sevore cold upon the chest, developing into acute bronchitis. It finally settled upon tho lungs. Mr Waters was of a very sanguine temperament, and managing to obtain some alight relief from hU ailment, he resumed his official duties. Another cold aggravated his case, and he was confined to his resi donco. Rallying again, he invalided on his farm at Waiheke. On returning to town, however, ho wa9 again prostrated, and once more sought the invigorating atmosphere of the island, but this time in vain. For tho last three months he has steadily declined in health, and on Saturday evening be tranquilly passed away at the early age of 40. He was unmarried, and up till last year, when his mother died,he lived with her and hiß sister. Since then he and his sister have resided together. Mr Wators spent his lifetime in the Government service. Ho arrived in the colony with his parents and sister in 1840, was reared and educated in Auckland, enterod the Survey Department of tho Provincial Government as a youth, and when it developed into the Waste Lands Office under the General Govern ment, ho became the chief clerk as well as Secretary of the Waste Lands Board. He was a consistent member of the Roman Catholic communion, and highly respected by friends of all denominations. His urbanity was proverbial, and he was, too, a man of fine suacoptibilitios and fool ing, benevolent and kindly disposed. It was through his representation that the Government allowed old Mr Wareham, draughtsman, his full salary to the period of his death. In accordance with his own wish, the funeral will take place early to-morrow 'morning. In order that the officials of the Crown Landa Office may at tend the funeral, Mr D. A. Tole (Chief Commissioner) has arranged to close the office until noon to-morrow.

DARING BURGLARY

Exciting Experience of a Parnell Grocer. Told In His Own Words.

Okb of the most audacious burglaries and robberies with .violence that it has been our lot to chronicle for somo time occurred at Pavnell ejrly on Sunday morning, the victim being 2Mr Julius Mechlenberg, a grocer carrying on business in Stanley street, Parnell. The circumstances were related by Mr Mechlonberg to a Star reporter this morning. His statement is as follow:—My name is Julius Mechlenberg, and I am a native of England. I keep n small grocery store in Stanley-street, near the Swan Hotel. lam a single man, and live ulone. I closed my shop at 11.30 on Saturday, and walked up to Brighton. On returning, 1 went to bed about 12.30. I sleep in a bed room opening off the shop. I had £12 in notes, and some 11s in silvar in my trousers pocket. 1 left my trousers on a box stand ing on tho table at the foot of the bed- I ha"d not been asleep more than a few minutes when I heard the falling of a piece of glass, tho noise apparently coming from the shop. I took little notice of this occurrence, as I knew there were rats in the premises. I went off to sleep again, and I tni"ht have been asleep five or ten minutes, when I was aroused by a light proceeding from the shop. Before I had time to shake off the sleep a man sprang forward and seized rdeby the throat. I lay in bod. My eyes were then'wide open, but the compression on my throat was so ureat that I could not utter a word. The man Tvos a powerful man and I could not move. He wan a thickset vounc man, about 5 foot 10 inches high, and had no hair on his face. Just as he srabbed my throat the matoh wont out. Through the dim moonlight I could see another man in the room searching my clothes. Both the men then ran out into the shop, and I heard tha voice of a woman, who had evidently been keeping watch out side the shop, call " Come/1 I then heard the shop door pulled open, and heard their footstepa. I jumped out of bed as rapidly as I could-I am a cripple, and am suffering from a nervous complaint caused by being nseaulted in Parnell by some larrikins two years ago-and saw the two men and a woman running past a gas-lamp in Stanley-street, about fifty yards from the shop The woman'was tall and thin, and wore a hard felt man's hat. I have no sus picion as to who the parties are, but think 1 could recognise the man who caught me by the throat. I returned to the shop.and saw that my pockets were turned out and the money mUeing. I proceeded to the Par noil polico station and gave information to Constable Hubson, in whose company 1 sub sequently wont to the city police station. Entrance to tho shop was obtained through one of the front windows, which was filled with goods. The burglars must have nrst removed the half shutters that cover the window, and then broke two panes of glass and got through the opening.

AICKIN'S ANNUAL.

A Domestic Medical Guide and Colonial Statistical Record,

This U one of the moat useful little books that has ever been issued from the New Zealand press. It states in clear and con cise language the properties and medical usesof the principaldrugs employed in ordin ary praotice, and in an admirably arranged " Index of Diseases," classifies the appropri ate remedies. There is no department of human knowledge about which so much humbug and mystery have been preserved as about medicine. From the professional employment of Latinised characters and cabalistic signs, to render prescriptions respectably portentous, to the clever dodges of quackery in concealing some familiar chemical under a popu lar name, thus onsuring for it a rapid sale as a patent medicine at a pro digious price, there seoma to be a certain amount of unity of opinion between skilled practitioners and unskilled charlatans that medicine will prove more potent if surrounded with mysticism. The issue of many popular domestic treatises of late years has, however, pretty well broken down this old trick of the trade. Some members of the profession found it profit ablo to publish knowledge in this branch of science as widely as in others, and en lightened practitioners soon saw that there was more safety to legitimate medical science in the diffusion of intelligence than in leaving rascality to trade upon ignorance with thoir "cure all" and "kill all" nos tnims. These treatises in popular form have, however, come more from the medical than the chemical side of the profession, and are occupied chiefly in describing tko symptoms and action of disease, rather than in defining the specific action of par ticular substances employed as curative agents; yet chemistry is more of an oxact ecience than medical practice. By long observation tho action and properties of chemicals havo been exactly defined, and it is really easier to describe tho general action of a particular drug than to predict its effect in a specified case of disease. Of course, to make any " Domestic Medical Guide" use ful both mitters must be dealt with, and Mr Aickin has succeeded admirably, not only in expressing, as a skilled chemist, the properties of tho drugs employed in medical practice, but also in enumerating the diseases for the relief of which these drugs are ordinarily employed, and thoir modo of administration. In the index to which we havo referred, the remedies are catalogued, so that a patient may select tho one most easily procurable in the country, or, if he please, go through the entire list until he finds the one beat suited to his constitution and malady. The compilation of a work of t"his kind, even to an experienced chemist, must have entaijed a very great amount of labour and ca<-Q, and it is evident, from a perusal of the book, that tho latest and highest authorities have been consulted. We find In It such rocent additions to tho pharmacopeia as ooca (cocaine), which is attaining celebrity as a local anaesthetic, and stillingia, of the American Pharmacopeia. People who have been in the habit of swallowing large quanti ties of a favourite medicine under the belief, often imaginary, that they were de riving great benefit therefrom, will be ablo to correct their practice from this little book, and such popular frauds as aarsaparilla may suffer from the diffusion of more exact knowledge The gain, however, will bo one to the deluded victim. There aro attached to the Guide a chapter on tho properties of " Native Medicinal Plants of New Zealand," and nome practical hints upon the management of infants and personal hygiene. Also a very valuablo table of antidotes for pqisona. In addition to the purely medical informa tion.thereareCftlendarandMetnorandapages for the year, and a well-Beloctod Statistical Section, which gives many interesting and little-known facts. To one class of readers this part of tho book will be the most highly prized. The last volume of " Now Ztaland Statistics" and the current year's iesuo of Mr Hayter's invaluable " Year Book" have been freely drawn upon for statistic* relating to the colonies, while ac knowledgments ore made to Mulhall's " Dictionary of Statistics " for a number of facts relating to the eleotric light, frozen meat, tramways, machinery, intemperance, the Panama Canal and other sabjects.

This book, which occupies 180 pages, and is admirably printed upon fine paper, is offered at one shilling, a price which should ensure for it a very wide Bale in all parts of New Zealand. Its author has hit upon a happy idea, and we predict for his Annual a permanentand very high place among Now Zealand publications.

A sail in sight was signalled outside Tiri tiri lato this afternoon. It may prove to be either the Sam Mendel or Alastor, from London, or one of the English war vossols expected. A man named Jas. Sloan have boon com mitted for trial at Dunedin for attempted suicide. The meeting of the Telephone Gold mining Company, which wos to have been held this afternoon, to consider the sale of the property lapsed for want of a quorum. 1 There Is some talk' of a New Zealand football team visiting England. Tho cost would be fully £3,000, but tho Rugby Union of Great Britain would do all in their power to raako the trip' pleasant and suc cessful. The Parihako bubble is burst, and tho Nativo Miniiater is sending a smart con- Btable to look after certain lying Europeans in the district, which is a smart solution of the native difficulty. The opening services of the Baptist Tabernacle were brought to a conclusion yesterday, Mr Thos. Spurgeon preaching both morning and evening to crowded' con arregations. In the mornin*, tha congrega tion was counted, and 1J392 people found to bo present. O» that occasion the pastor preached eloquently from John, chap. 4 and vsrses 20—24; showing (1) that God was not to be worshipped in any particular pined or at any special season ; (2) that as He was a spirit the worship of Him must be an emanation from the heart in gratitude for his watobful care and penaling love ; and (3) that the manner of worship should be simp'e but fervid. The offertory amounted to £38 14b 6d. In the evening fully 1,700 must have been in the building, for it was calked. Mr Spurgeon preached at sirae lan'eth from Epheßians, eh. iv. v. 5. One or two persona fainted. The collection yielded £31. In the afternoon the Rev. P. H Cornford conducted a children's service and delivered an address. The Revs. J, Woolley and H. Driver also spoke. On this.occasion the offertory was £7 9s 4d, making a total of £77 odd. In the evening Mr Spurgeon announcad that the Sunday school anniversary services would be held next Sunday. He also stated that tho Tabernacle would be as free to the general public a3 the services at the Choral Hall had been. There would be no seat tents but regular attenders, after next Sunday, could select the seats they pre ferred, and these would be kept till five minutes before the service commenced, after which they would be open to be occu pied by anybody. It was recently publicly asserted of Wel lington that ite public schools are mere Staid hospitals, and its streets mere sewers.
