MINISTERIAL CHANGES.

Old Kumoius Revived,

(11Y TF.U'CH-M'lI — VAKLIAMKNTAKY JIK fUKTKU )

WtLUNiiTUS, this (lay,

Tin: old iiimour us to an impending change in ov reconstruction of the Cabinet has been revived tho last day or two, and political capital, is being made of Mr Stout's departure for Dunedin

iii connection with I ho rumoured recon struction of tho Ministry. It will be remembered that just prior to tho close of tin; session it was freoly rumoured that Mr SI out would resign very shortly after tho prorogation, 'lliis was denied at tho time, though it must bo fairly stutod that Major Atkinson put tho query to tho ['rainier in tho House in the course of his spoech on (he third loading of tho Appro priation Bill, and tho I'rcinior failed to Hutufy tliu curiosity of the leader of tho Opposition or the House on the point. It i» now very freely stated that M r Stout's visit to Dunedin is in coimoctiou with thin question of his resignation, and that ho is dofirous of dis cu.s.-ing tho subjfct with his bueinees partner, Thin is v common rumour, and ne suoh 1 am bound to give it for what it may be worth. From all that can bo learned from Ministers now in Wel lington, however, I am disinclined to believe that thoro is any fear of tho Premier placing hiy resignation in tho hands of tho Governor jupt yet. Whutovor may bo his in tention ultimately, ho must sco that to do hi at this juncturo would greatly injure his political reputation. An other rumour U to the ell'eet that Sir Julius Vogel is to bo disposed of early next year either as Agont General or as Chief of tho (iovoriimcnt lusurmieo Department, and that upon his ictiroment from tho Cabinet, Canterbury is to be furtlior represented by either Mr Oarrick or Mr Harper. This also is a very common rumour revived, and needs only to bo men tioned to bo contradicted. 1 have mado in quiry into tho alleged probabilities or possi bilities, and am awurod l>y Ministers that no reconstruction whatovor of tho Cabinot is conlouiplatod, and that tho various rumours horcin referred to aro entirely without fmm dation,

THE CIRCUS HORSES.

fliV TKLROKAIMI -OWN OOKIIKSI'ON'DENT,]

VVkw.incton, this iluy. KhKE]iuiN(i aguiu to tho unfortunato pobi tion of tlio Circus animals at Auckland, I may say that tho position taken up by tho authorities is this. They rocognisod tho hardships of tho caso, and would bo willing to troat it ox coptionally by issuing an Order-in-Coun oil to enable tho amn.als to land, were il not for tho clangor that might ensuo of imperilling tho now oxtonsivo Irado in live stock botwoon this colony and Now South Waloa. Tho VVakatipu takes bo tweon £2,000 and £3,000 worth of stock from this colony nearly ovory trip, and besides this tho Auckland Stud Company ia opening up an oxtonsivo export trac'o in horses, otc. It is therefore feared that if tho present ro^ulations were sot aside, and animals woro allowed to bo landoti, the othor colonies might retaliate by rofui-infj to land live stock from Now Zoaland, and this would mean a sonoiiH loss to this colony. As I informod you yesterday morning, tho matter has beon fully represented to tho other colonies, and in eomo caeca replios have been received endorsing tho action of tho Now Zealand Government. The Govornmont of Tas mania cay that if the animals aro takon thoro thoy will not be allowed to land.

LANDS AND FORESTS.

Mr Ballance's Immigration Soheme,

(NY TEr.KOKAPH— VAnUAMKNTAIIY

REPORTER.)

Wf&mnotox, this day,

I INFORMED you yesterday morning that tho Minifrter of Lands had in hand tho organisation of tho Forests and Agricultural Department. This task has been under taken by Mr Ballance, who already haa quite enough to do in the administra tion of Lands, Native and Defence Departments, at the solicitation of his colleagues, but it is probable that when the work of organisation has been com pleted tho administration of these practi cally now departments will be handed over to somo othor Ministor—probably Mr Lar nach or Mr Tole. Tho Lands Department is of courso pro-eminently tho department in which i\)r Ballance'd vigorous nature rovels, and ho is at, present giving his attention to the question, which to him is the question of tho hour-namely, the eotilemonfc of tho people upon tho land. He has givon some consideration to a very able memorandum from the Agent- General on tho subject which was recently laid before Parliament. Mr Ballance re cognises the force of some of the Agent- Gonor.il'ij remarks, but thinks that in tho main tho objections urged to tho dilliculty in the way of inducing immigrant settle ment of tho agricultural class from Great Britain are met by the legislation of last session. It is, however, his intention to immediately advise tho Agent-Uonoral by letter thai the Government are willing to somo extent to equalise the conditions of immigrant settlement, as between Canada and this colony, by contributing a portion nf tho passago moneys to families of say iivo in number, who may between them possess capital to tho oxtont of £400, at tho rate of 110 per head ; but Mr Ballanco does not propose to otter any illegitimate special inducements to thisclassof immigrant farmer by which they may acquire land under more favourable conditions than other people, for he holda that wo have already a colonising power in tho sons of our own settlors, who have an much right to bo considered as strangers, and ho of courso ridicules all such ideas as tho gratuitous distribution of the land wealth of the colony to wIiOBOOVCV may ask for it, therefore ho holds that whatever inducement may reasonably bo offered in tho shape of n contribution to tho passago money of families, theso latter, on their arrival must find their own level as other colonists have had to do.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly mooting was hold yesterday afternoon, thero being present: Messrs S. Luke'(Chairman), J. H, Upton, D. Goldie, ,T. W. Carr, and J. M, Clark.

Girls' hum School Entranck Examin ation-.- Tho following lettor, addressed to the Hecrotary, was received from tho Head mastor, re entrance examination :—" .Sir,— In answer to your memo of tho 22nd inst., in which you request mo to report to the Board my opinion as to tho effect upon tho school of tho entrance examination, and as to the propriety or otherwise of making any ohango in tho ex amination, I havo tho honour to reply as follows:- Tho existence of thoontranco examination has, I boliovo, had tho effect of deterring EOmc children from applying for admission to tho school who otherwise would havo dono so, I think, howovor, thut if tho character of tho examination wore more gonerall} known, that effect would bo greatly diminished. My idoa is that tho examination should be a simple one, a tent merely aa to whether the applicant possesses such an amount of know ledge, as will enable her to profit by tho instruction given to our lowest form. 1 inny mention hero, in connection with this point, that onl of t.voiit.y-thrco pupils who hnvc joined or re-joined the school this term, two only wore put in tho first form. This would tend to .show thut young children who would work their way up through the school ore at present deterred from apply ing for admission. I cannot, therefore, rcoommond that the Board should make any change in tho examination. — I havo, etc , loiin F. Sum ax, 13.A., I toad master."

Nkwtosj Wkst.—The School Committee forwaidcd tKo Headmaster's (Mr H.Mason's) report 10 overcrowded state of school, and expressing surpviso that, in Fpito of his report, Mr Mason had informed ono of the moinbora of tho Board that ho was not anxious for increased accommodation. A lotter was also enclosed from Mrs Moore, complaining of Mr Mason's boating of hor daughter; also Mr M neon's ropiy thoroto. Tho Committee ro marked that they had repeatedly requested Mr Mason to refrain from punishing tho children. If he should continue such severe treatmont, tho Commilteo would considor it their duty to request his removal. In his attached ' letter re accommodation, Mr .Mason protested against "tho misappre hension" that ho did not wkh tlio school enlarged. Ho had urged himself tho nccossity for further accommodation, but considered that tho immediato pressuro was duo moro to tho inconvonienco of the largo room for teaching purposes than on account of the excess over tho authorised number. Aa to tlio beating, Mrs Moore reported that it caused the girl's hands to swoll, and Mr Mason explained that it was administered bocauso, in his opinion, tho girl did not attempt to do hor bost in singing. Tho Committee's lottor was roferrod to tho Hoadmttßtcr, for explanation.

THE AUSTRALIAN WOOL TRADE.

Tue yoar ISSS (observes the Melbourne " Argun") will be long remembered as one of the most disastrous over known in the history of tho Australian wool trade. There have been times, such as in IS7C, when a serious fall has taken place more suddenly, or when, as in 1569 and IS7O, wool has re mained at a very low lovol for a consider able period. But tho rocords of the wool trade during recent yeais can be searched in vain for an instance in which this slaple, in tho face of the most sanguine anticipations to to contrary, has fallen so steadily and persistently from the moment of its being bought out hero until it has finally passed into coijijiimption at home. Although wool has been' steadily declining in value since Juno, 1880, tho fall waß only a very gradual one until the close of last year, whon it was about 2d per lb cheaper than it was four years before. Throughout the greator part of the last eeaßon in Australia, very largo quantities of wool changed hands on tho basis of a values ruling in Europe in November and December last. During tho first six months of tho prosont year, however, prices have persistently fallen, until at tho close of the June July series, thoy wore from 2^d to 3d per lb lower than at tho commencement of tho year, whilo oven thon pricos. wcro only supported by the withdrawal of tho unpre cedented quantity of 70,000 bales.

AFGHANISTAN.

The " Timos of India " has received from a correspondent in Persian Sarakhs a letter, from which tho following p.assagos are taken:— "An extraordinary change has como over tho country. The moat perfect socurity exists, forta which wore formerly occupied by Persian troops aro now do serted, and yet tho peoplo here would profer tho liability to a visit from the Turkoman with all his feocity to Russian domination. A torriblo fear of the Russians exists; thoy aro not to be trilled with, and they do not caro what thoy do so long as it lead 9to any advantage. The Uusbians aro doing tho Persian side of the frontier an immensity of harm. They insist on tho Persians using only a certain propor tion of the water streams that How toward tha Russian side, and this proportion is not sullieient to maintain the former extent of cultivation. Tho English have an excellent name on tho frontier, but, of course, no one will believe that England is as strong as Russia ; sho is far away, while Russia is on thospot. TheCentriil Asian question hasbetn settled, and I do not well soo lion- the Aimak tribo can bo kept back from joining tho Russians. In Northern Afghanistan the Russians will bo supremo in a year or two. I strongly bcliove the Russians will advancoin the cold wouther to thovrlley of Herat. Persian Surakhs is a mud wall enclosure holding somo i!CO houses, mud hovels. Tho plain its very unhealthy. All tho valleys on tho Khorassati frontier are unwholesome. From the time of leav ing the camp I have been followed from village to village by tho sick. In some places crowds of sick worriod me from morning till night. The Russians jiavo takon good caro to secure all the passes into tho Tejond plain ; in fact, the game for us is almost lost All tho accounts of Afghan love for us must be taken with caution. lam not sure that Ayouh Khan's people aro less patriotic in the sonso of being anti-Russian than tho Amir's followeis. Tho worst of this Amir is that ho has left no one of any ability except himeelf in Afghanistan."

It appears that in the oWtcli of Obercmmel, near thfi City of Treyeri, in Germany, there is a etohetablet eoine cen turies old, on which is cut the'?pnpUtie. verse—in prose it may be rendered," Wfcen Mark may bring us Easter1," and; Anthony shall sing praises at Pentecost, and Join shall swing the censer at the feast of Corpoi Domini, then shall tbe whole earft, ro sound with weepings and wailiDgs." Now it so happens that next yiw Easter"full! on St. Mark's Day, Penteoost. on' that of ?t. Anthony of Padau, and the Corpu Domini comes on St. John the BaptUt'i Day, Juno 24th. Here, then, are thefirsi conditions of the prophecy fulfilled, sp that now believors in prophecies and 'anicita' minded persons generally have opty toirit down and think, of everything disagreeabl* that can possibly happen to this poor rod planet and tho dwellers thereon brtron January and Deoember, 1886* And reUly if the cyclones and earthquakes andepi demies and "wars apd riniours ti wars of the years 18S2-3 4-5. are ,to.be, edipWi the prospect is not an agreeable one.- f •
