Truth, which of ton speaks unkindly of people, has this to say of an actrcis well-known to Qisborno playgoors : “That swoot contro of all tho graces, Boxy Barton - daughter of tho manly Kussoll Barton, of Eivo Dock, Sydney, and erst South Australian explorer who has in ado such rapid advancement in her profession as an actress, both in Australia and London, was married in that city on Juno 1-1 to a Mr Gairaway. No more amiable, good-hearted or lovoliergirl ever graced tho stago than gentle, yet queenly, Boxy, whoso full nanm, it appears, is Boxy Olaudiuo May. Bovoral English illustrated papers reeontly published Miss Barton’s portrait as ‘ tlio baudsomost actress on tho British stago.’ ” A NZ. Herald representative ohsttod with several of tho immigrants on board of tho Corinthic and ascertained that but few of thoeo who contemplate following agricultural pursuits liavo sullieient money to enable them to take up land for themselves Generally speaking, they seemed to be under tho itnprossun that land would bo availablo for little moro than tho asking, and woro, pe.liaps, somewhat disappointed when it was pointed out that tho bulk of tho Crown lands that could bo offered to thorn under tho various tonures of tho Land Act was covered with fores'-, and would require much work on it before a return could bo expected. Tho navvies also appeared to have but a linzv idea of tho conditions of the work that would be offered to them on tho Main Trunk railway lino. They had seen the announcements at Homo that a thousand navvies wore wanted for New Zealand, and not a fow ap peared to be under tho impression that tho work was iu close touch with tho cities, and that they woro to be employed on a fixed weekly wage, as ono pick-aud-shovel-uian put it, “ an oigl.t bob a day job.’’ They wore clearly for tho most part not awaro that they wero to go any great distance from tlio towns, live in tents, and earn what they wero capable of earning under tlio co-operativo system. At tho same time they appearo.i to bo a good stamp of moil aud not afraid of work, but it was evident from tho tenor of their remarks that they had either failed to properly acquaint themselves before leaving Homo as to what would be expected of thorn on arrival, or had not been fully advisod on tho matter. Tho Observer on Mr. Tregear’s famous letter : -Tlio reference to the bulk of our population as a collection of well-fed and well-clothed slaves is a gratuitous insult to tho working classes of New Zealand, and one tha’ should not have been levelled against them by a very well paid and very well-clad official in their own employ. Our idea of social slaves is of a class that is neither well clad nor well paid. So long as tho working classes of Now Zealand arc well clad and well paid, it may be taken for granted that they will be satisfied with tluir lot iu life, and will not thank Mr Tregear or any other busy body for attempting to stir up strife and class hatred between themselves and their employors. It seoni3 to us that Mr Tregear’s place is in Germany. There he will find heaps of socialists of his own kidney, and hordes of slaves who are neither well paid nor well clothed, but ho will not find in Germany another fat billet at T-jOO a yoar which, for easo and desirableness, will compare with his own.
