" For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

In consequence of an Interruption in the ■wires between Auckland and the Thames, our usual telegrams have not come to hand

There has tfeen a good deal of gossip going in the city, yesterday and to-day, in connection with Tookeys, and the efforts made to catch the market in Melbourne. Like everything in connection with the share market, the natural impulse is at once to are a big Swindle, arid the instinctive:feeling develops itself in the hope that it- might be defeated• However, in this case, the ellbrt to reach the Victorian share market before it feels the present great rise in the value of Tooko'y shares is not prompted by a very blameable purpose. It appears that not long since various of pur "citizens,.either losing faith in Tool'teys; oif'from other reasons, desirous to realise their shares, s-.-nt large numbers of them to Victoria for sale, and the present, struggle is mainly to stop the sales, and probably replace the shares, if already sold, before the market has begun to rusi awny. We do r. it, by any means, say that our fellowcitizena would be loath to take the opportunity of doubling the number of theii1 holdings, if fors une places it to their hand, but the fact that their shares are in the market in Australia, exposed to the eves and bids of speculators, whi] ->: the Caledonian reef is_ peepi.ig out through tric^Todkey's workings, is quite sufficient to cause a very excusable anxiety The Ooinerang was gob underway for Ihe Australian const yesterday afternoon, bearing Mr. Brifiseuden on board, charged with the important mission of raving the shares that are in jeopardy. But this is not-the only effort Hiiiiie, inasmuch a3 the Koyal Alfred was yesterday morning despatched via L'oromandel to Tauranga, with telegraphicmessage* to the Bluff, in the hope of catching the Melbourne steamer. As these messages will ha\e been transmitted early this morning there is a likelihood of the counterninnding orders:being in time. But it appear*;that to provide agfdnst contingencies the Co me rung was also despatched to Australia direct. Jiuch, we understand ia the correct statement ol some incidents that have given rise to a good deal of go-sip.

Several cases were heard today in tin* Police Court, iv which parties were fined foi allowing dogs to follow them into the Domain f'lie Chairman of the Board explained that the reason for imposing the by law with such severity ;U the present time is that the birds ure now breeding, and the dot's worry ami destroy them. This, of course, is n good arid suffioifiit reason,, and people would do well t<» attend to the regulation in future. i'lureU one thing, however, lo which it would b- vreliitc draw the attention of tlie Board. The Chairman said that a copy of the by-laws lis posted up at every entrance, T1 is true th-it there is a notice board at each place, but the notice being mere paper placards and nailed on the boards, are very seldom to be seen. It seeing to as that these by-laws ought to be painted on the boards or, at least, printed pu calico and p/operly fixed.

The high reputation Olson s tomato sauce has obtained as a household condiment, !^a« brought many inferior articles into the market The public are therefore warned not to be imposed upon with rubbish, bub ask for Olson's genuine tomato sauce, aud see thut hu name is on,the bottJe.. "To Mr. Hans Olson.— Dear Sir/—B/ some mistake a bottle'of your tomato sauce wm put away in my house, and remained.-uncorked for upwards of twelve months. The same bottle of sauce wus afterwards used at my o*vn table, aud I found jU was equally as good as when first made.— T. W.
