AUCKLAND, N.Z., WEDNESDAY, MAECH 23, 1887

PRICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Last night of the Circus.

Criminal Sessions closed. Judge Ward " rough on larrikins." City water perfectly pure, of coureo ! Even when Garnered in the Pond ! Just so!

But it ie very wrong to " jest ao." General European disarmament talked of. It will end in emoke—the ?moko of battle. Herekino settlers are said to be short of food.

Happy thought! Good idea for " settling people on the land." Starve them to death and then "plant" them in the soil.

Why not? Dead men can voto juet as well as live ones nowadays !

■Some folks think that it is just one of Mr Hobbs's hobbies.

John Lundnn tneans next to try and "settle " the.Papakura gumdiggers.

Good job, too ! Some of them have got comfortably settled in Mount Eden Gaol.

But Mr Lundon knows too much to have Any more of them Bent there. Prisoners have no voted !

A Volunteer inquiry is to be held at Chrietchurch over the resignation of Colonel ToEswill. . , . .

Will the Auckland inquiry take the form of a court martial or of a, civil action for il legal arrest?

The Tasmanian Ministry have resigned, and Mr Fych is expected to be " sent for." The proper length for a lady's walking drees.—A little above two feet. .

An Invercargill publican has been fined £5 and costs for allowing beer to be con sumed on his premises on a Sunday. ' Inspector Gudgeoo, the new Commis sioner of Police, will visit Auckland shortly. He is now in Taranaki.

Monnock, the Wellington pedestrian, has failed to gain any prize in the athletic sports at Sydney. The proprietors of the Dunedin " Star " have gained an action in which they were sued for £5,000 damage for libel. Dr Wilkie, the new physician who is to havo phai^'j of Auckland Hospital, arrived fr •■. -, ; .dney yesterday.- •

. Air Brame, the protectionist lecturer, ad dressed'the employees of the Onion Sash and Door Company yesterday, there being a large turn out, with Mr Good in the chair. Sir Robert Stout will reach Auckland next week, and after his teetotal address ib expected to give a political speech..

There were 1,500 excursionists at Wood ville yesterday to see Mr Richardson open the new railway line and plant an oak tree in front of the station.

The guileful Maoris at Thames havo taken to pilfering from shops. One native is sent to engage the attention of the shopkeeper while others appropriate the goods. Fort Chalmers Town Council have re- Eolved to call upon the Harbour Board to rsduce their dues, so that the direct steamers may not stop calling at that port. Most contradictory evidence has been adduced in the action against Tiinuru Harbour Bound over the loss of the ship Lyttelton. Evidence is still being taken to-day. A splended case for the lawyers ! Throughout, the French Masonic lodges there ie a strong feeling in favour of a war of revenge with Germany. Thought Free masonry was v sort of cosmopolitan brother hood for the cultivation of peace on earth ! Another delusion gone.

The 'fauranga natives know how to organise a big "guzzle." One morning lately, several of them purchased a cask of beer amongst them, which they rolled out on the Strand ami each in turn, with mouth to bunghole, indulged in a good long draught. Tawhinu is expected there this week — probably attracted by the "good time " promised.

GRAFTON ROAD WESLEYAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL.

Thk twenty-first anniversary of the -above: school was celebrated last night by a aoireo, which wbb largely attended. Tea was, served in the Sunday-school adjoining the church, the tables being presided over by Mesdames Gatland, Lawrj, White, Wilkins, and Misses O'Brien, Young, Good, and Allies. After tea there was an adjournment to the church, where a puyio meeting waa held, the Rev. R. Bavin, pastor of the church, presiding, I The proceedings opened by the hymn "There ia a Land of Love" being sung, end thie was followed at intervals by the 6tb, 10th, and 12th hymns, from the special collection for the anniversary. Mr J. L. Wilson then led the congregation in prayer, after which Mr Dickey read an abstract of the report. From this, there appealed to have been a flight falling-off in tha number of scholar*, of whom there were 264, including infante, now attending the school; 100 children had left the echool, ac cording to the books, this year Not all that number bad really left this year; some had left before, but their names had not bean removed till this year. There were 13 lady and 17 gentleman teachers, two less than last year. There were four classes — about; 40 scholars— without teachers at present. The average attendance was 54 in the morniDg, against 191 in the afternoon. In tbo infant echoo! there were only 85 against the 94 of last year. With regard to the library, they had 80 new volumes added daring the year to the 560 on the book list-,1 but in con sequence of loss by wear, etc, there, were only 604 'books in the library altogether. Mr Mears, Treasurer, then read his report for the year. Total receipts, £89 7s sd; expenditure, fB9 Is 2d ; this left a balance in hand of 6s 3d. This included a debit balance of £18 3s 4d from last paid off (Cheers} The Rev. T. Spurgeon then addressed those present at Borne length, dwelling especially upon the subject of Sunday-school scholars and their work. To be a successful Sunday school teacher required a special call, just the same as a pastor or minister required. Some persons were more fitted than others. He would have been perhaps better able ito judge of the qualifications of a teacher had he been one himself He had not, however, passed through that course; he had "blossomed into a parson all at once." No one could be a successful teacher with out having a heart and the earnest wish to save the children to Chriet. The Revs. C. H. Garland and T. G. Garr also addressed the meetiDg.when the usual votes of thanks closed the meetir g.

Caffrey Defence Fund.

(To the Editor.) Pib,—Will yon grant me sufficient tpace to make a few inquiries re the manipulation of the above fund. We are informed that numerous persons subscribed to the fund in question, not as intimate friends of the un fortunate man Uaffrey, but as men desirous of giving him every justice, by procuring the very best counsel procurable, and with this end in view barrister was retained, with the promise of a hundred guinpas (intended to be raised by sub scription). The barrister in question in order to devote the whole of h<« time aDd mental ar-.d physical ability to the defence was compelled to decline other profes sional business to the value of at least £60, the refusal of which may do him it calculable injury Nevertheless he-faith fully fulfilled h;8 portion of the agreamet t and fought for the defences all know how and in return has been paid the handsome ram of £7. which merely covers ontlav while unpleasant rumours are afloat to the, effect that some £40 have been collected :by some unknown person or persona for the above purpose. Such statements having been made, and tho defending barrister, for whom the money was profeseedly collected not having re ceived it.'l think the public generally' and subscribers particularly, may reasonably :,;-' expect a report of all monies collected for the above purpose If it be bnt £7 let it remain so; if £40, let it be paid over to the object for which collected Tho • gentleman who devoted his 'mono? "' '' time, talent and arduous labour to tbo de fence of Caffrey is the sole sufferer, and me tbinks the individuals who retained th gentleman in question should be called upon to pay the deficiency.
