The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1884. THE SALVATION ARMY.

Good people in Masterton, ifter the experiences /6f Sunday last, ire afraid that a sort of:. Salvatio- Amy blister has to be endured-' in this ''neighborhood., Wo say " good people" because the Salvation Array is a tetvor to such as well as to evil doers, "here is, as yet, but little.cause for ilarra. The Masterton contingent of the army appears to consist of tvo or three enthusiastic privates wh» would,.' no doubt, willingly/bficomolSehevalsrpiv at'least, paid officeys.':Hsippily in this town wo have Ve'iv little of the raw material on "which the army has been wont to ound its success, The /class of people here f'om which-con-verted Toms and Hapiy Elizas can be manufactured is very limited. A.full Corporal' ought to do all the business that could be clone k this town in a week, It is noticeable all oyer New' .Zealand, that'the aitay is getting less lively. Tlie..novelty.' of the thing.is over! ; Like.a ciicus, it takes inl-; .mensely for a feiv" nights, ' but if .a .community had. aj circus quartered on it all tlieyearroipd, itrwould get very weary of: the spangles /and aavvdusb. The army has lad a ; fair' innings in New Zealand, tnd in the-"slums" ; of one 'Orj two the.' larger towns, whero there were some bad plague spots, it may pave; done much good, but in the - smalief centres- of population, such':.aslMastel't6n; : ;its demon-' Btrations.mustj3e i .!oeked;upon simply as "fireworks.') The young man who has taken upowhimsolf the pyrotechnic display \ in t; ourlocal timber,'yard' had better try profitable .field. He is too good} a fellow to-be pelted by larrikins or looked hpHyHh) police, and yet he deserves botl fates if he persistently continues ;o- disturb decent people on their day of rest.

Mr -War-dell, E.M. aits at Cartortun today. , . ■■.-,■' ; The nominations for the olectinn of a Licensing Oommii too for the Borough of Masterton takes place on Friday', nozt.. little or no interest, is taken in this, event, ■•■ ,: , ".' ; '•',■■ Wo hear that "Vogel's" consultation on the Waimraoa Oup is filling up very rapidly, The consulting night will be about the 18th.inst., and as the bona fides of the affair can be relied upon the speculative should lose no time in sending in applications. . Messrs Hoadley, Lyon and Co., the well-known Napier auctioneers, announce through our columns, a sale of pure Linonlii rams from' the celebrated flocks of Mr F, Sutton, Southland, Mr E.Me'nlbvo, Oamaru, and the New' Zealand Stud and Pedigree Stock Company, Auckland, to lake place at ilia Agricultural Society's Rnmiida, Hastings, on Friday February 15th. Mr F. H.

We are glad, however, to observe thai ho is able to get about to-day'as usual, . Some half-dozen young men—whether Salvation Anuy recruits or not we carnotsay—proceeded down Bannister st'eet last evenino, equipped withkerosene tins, and when opposite the quarters of ut kca constable proceeded .to play an abominable fhiiHisa whk-h woke everybody in the nemhboiliood, The young men il.en marched back to Queon-street, alter giving their tins a farewell kick, It soys much for the forbearance of residents in that locah'y that not one of them, dis-charged-a gun or even Gred a revolver at these midnight marauders, On Monday last a young man namsd Canton, who was engaged at Alfredtin falling tush for Mr Alpass, met' with a terrible acuido it. A treo lodgioi; ajjairat one wh'di ho was engaged in iellng struck him, bre; kttiy both hiR legs aid injuring ota back. The Bufferer vas carried out of the tmsli wiih great difiouliy, and afterwards conveyed to he Masierton Hospital in a brake. Hid condition on his arrival was a pitiable me. His wounds had not been protected fwm insects, nor during tholongrougbjouriey had his broken limbs been stayed by .iny splint or haudage. Dr Hoiking foind, on examina ion, that the rishfcihijl' was broken, and that there was a commiinled fracture of tho left leg; as yet ilie allure cf the injury to tho back canraf bo ascertained,.. The patient is a young strong mau about iweniy years ol aye, and tliero is a fair chance of his pulling through.

A special nroiiug of. the Mns'erton School Committee was held last evening Present—Messrs Boddington (chairman), Bisli, Lowes, Wondroofe, Galloway and Pay ton, A lot ler was read from the Board, enclosing testimonials of Mr Fiulay Bc-thuue, who had been appointed to the fourih assislnui-mastership in the School, Tho committee confirmed the appoiriimem, but pointed out to the Board'that I by withholding from ihem the testimonials | of the other applicants for-the position it deprived thorn of .'their right under the 45. h clause of Ihe Act to recommend teachers to the Board. It; was decided that in accordance with a suggestion made by ihe inspector, an outside teacher should bo en«nged for the French .class, and that applications for tho position of teacher lo ibis section of tho Hi"h School! should he invited. The atientionof the Institute Cninmiitee 'was called to: the inconvenient obstructions . which -have I been allowed to re in a'n for. so long a' period in tho committee room. Messrs Bish mid Boddingt'iii haritisibeon appo'iu led visitois io the school for the current month, the meeiiisg adjourned. By latest advices from New Caledonia (says tho Artjus) jherti is no diminution in ihe number of convicts who succeed in makiDij their escape. Eleven are reported in four nays, Three others wero discovered at ilia Buy of N'iV, They were' armed ivi'h knives and bludgeons One of them ripped up an unfortunate Kanaka who ■endeavored to arrest him, so.ihal : the wounded man's bowels protruded from Ins stomach, and the sufferer died shortly alter having been taken to ike hospital. Another endeavored to shoot ono of his French pursuers, who foittiu4ely wrestled the revolver lmm tho hands of his assailant. Great alarm was occasioned a few days'before Olnis'inas by iho escape from tho disciplinary camp atTomoof a hardened desperado named Cartoron, who had married a Kanaka the year befoio Ho was captured, however, and is not allowed lo work on the road for somo time to come. Helms been sen fenced to death Another notorious criminal named Frollet, who nad bee>t sent upon the roads us a punishment tor having run away, lias been at liberty for nioro than a week. A Kanaka .in charge of cattle at Dumbea was set upon and ripped open by the fuuitivo convicts; arid although a battue was immediately organised by the gendarmerie, it has proved unsuccessful. A whaleboat has been stolen at Pain by evades, as itis believed,., and in tlio neighborhood of Toino, where there areconvict camps,, thero have been; numerouß'inceudiaty fires attributable .to marauders.

There aro two morals in tins, When' preaqliing.Rßaii Stanley neither swayed; liis '■' My like a sailor towards ilieerid'of' his 48 hours' leave.,, nor.Bayed the air like a junior counsel at his first breach of prumiso case, hut kept as rigid as a life-, guardsman on sentry, One day he asked his wife if she had noticed' (be '[ "intensity with ■which the .congregation had gazed upon him during the ae'rniob ■''■'■ "How could they help it .ray dear," sho replied,-" when one of your gloves was on the top of your head the whole timet" The first moral is not to carry your gloves in your hat; aud tho second (lake out this' and paste it in your Bible) to mako suro that it is admiration and not curiosity, thaifilla ponple who listen to your sermons .or read your hunks.

The Argus urges that an effort should be made to ihduoe the Highlanders, now leaving Scotland in such numbers, to turn' their faces to Australia instead of America. "It seems to us,(i:. Bays) that the present, is just one of Ihosa. occasions ivhen a 'special crisis at Home demands.a,special effort on our part. The Hiclhlandera are, as is well known, essentially clannish, and resoluble their brother,Oehs, the Prenoh, in their unwillingness io emigraie alone. 'But'it seems to us I hat we might tempt the remnants of whole chius to try their fortunes in a land where they misjht divojj together,.each undor.the shade of. .hisiiwngum treo, : iipi they might; take heart;frorh the (lie great fortunes amassed by;'.; their'/.vHij-bland fellow countrymen, many of whom, darted as poor shepherds/and have now obtained- | the highest seats of power and honor that; our Colony has to beatow,"
