The Wairarapa Daily. MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1884. SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S CHARACTER.

Ik the . Empire City the persona character of Sir Junes- Yogel -liai

been" the subject of newspaper controversy and is likely to'be. the absorbing topic of the recess. • It seems rather iibsurd that the character of a man whom we have known for

wenty years should now'be 'called in

question or aspersed. Everybody knows that Sir Juuusia not a saint and that he never pretended to assume or possess these anstere virtues for which men like Major Atkinson, Sir John Hall, and Sir William Fox have been remarkable, We do not underestimate such virtues. The high personal character and the scrupulous reputation of our leading men has been a feather in our caps, but when we placed ourselves in the hands of Sir Julius Vooel we do so with a full

knowledge that we were entrusting our interests'to a soldier of fortune, who, while he would be true to any bargain he made with us, would not as far as personal character went be quite equal to some of his predecessors, A cosmopolitan adventurer and a New Zealand colonist cannot be classed together. We have employed the former in engaging the. services of Sir Julius VoQEL and we have retained him, not because he is a man of high principle;

hut simply because lie is a clever mao who can bring new ideas to bear on the difficulties under which the colony has been laboring. We believe that Sir Julius Yogel will, be loyal, to any compact he may'make with us, and that while in our pay he he will not in any way betray our interests, but more than this we do not I expect, It is not our business to go prying into Sir 1 Julius Yodel's busi-1

MS transactions, in London, or our interest to mako hini appear a less trustworthy man than a Minister of the. Crown'should, |je. We liop'6 to see the disputa-whicE-'has arisen in the Wellington press over Sir Julius YogelV'.reputation amicably settled. If lie ia not- quite up to. our ideal of what a Miiiister. of the Crown ought to be, "'it'is somewhat; iijigenerpp on oiir/part to refer, to any. 'shortcomings, of ..o.ne vA'o flfc'far "with" 0:""'

The "saddlers of Cartorton. • set an. example that might be followed-' with' advantage by the tradem other .fawnships liy closing their fesiablistfrueutii on .Siturday afternoon at fwb o'clock. Ngaire Eakaihikarua, chief of the. Ngatihikawera Hapa, died at Te Ore Ore on Friday last. A large tangi is being ueld there in consequence. This was the noted chief wkuiold Tupurupuru Block, Hori Bopiha, one of the ambassadors to England is holding a meeting at Tahoraite and from there he has been Bent for to hold a meeting at Te Ore Ore. It is his intention to incite out local natives to join the Blue Ribbon Army, We would remind raoing men that eniriM k the Matlerlon Opiki Jookey Olub Maiden Flute and A.ti 0.

About two hundred, visitors attended the exhibition' o£.;the science of the " noble art ofaelf cTe/ence'^ttt'the'Jheatre Royal on Saturday';-evening. Several' looal amateurs were ptit through, flioir facings. The chib'swingiug andb'nxiug by the troupe waß muoh admired;. There were a, good many entries of amateurs for the silver medal, which was finally won by Mr Wiihams.- The exhibition will be reproduced in Cartortoj) to-morrow evening.

Three leading members of theoomuiiU tee of the Wellington Acolimatisation Society, viz., Captain Humphries and Messrs L. G. Keid and Denton, visited Masterlon on Saturday and were shewn over the hatching grounds of the Wairarapa Society- by Mr W. H, Beetham. ihey expressed themselvos very rnuoh pleased with the arrangements made in Masterton,

• We learn from Mr Jas Stuckey of Te Eangitumau- that on Saturday evening one of hia'men'in iffimmin? a small oresk at his atation, cauiiht a nice trout, llin, long, 0 in. round, and 9 oz. in weight. The fish was beautifully marked and very plump, Mr Stuckey has not seon any trout in his

streams since he turned ihem out one and two years ago, and had feared that the experiment lie had made: of trying to stock creeks in a .limestone country was a failure.

The second bazaar in aid of the' St, Mark's church fund was opened on Saturday by Mr VV. C. Buchanan, in the assembly room, Carterton, Mr Buchanan in a neat and appropriate speech in. which he complimented the Cummnteo on the large collection of beautifully worked and oostly. goods they had got together, wished them every succeas, and declared the bazaar duly opened, _ The collection of needlework, crewel painting on ailk, and other goods were well worthy.of the compliment paid them by Mr Buchanan, and the bevy of beauties brought together to dispose of ihera were altogether too irresistible, The room was fitted up in a moat artistic manner, and simply yet strikingly decorated with palms, • evergreens, and .flags. ' " The fancy goods stalls,were presided over by No. 1, Mrs G, Gardner and Miss J, Eagle; No, 2, Miss Beading, Mrs Burnett, Miss Burnett, and Mi3a Beechara; 'No. 3,-Mrs L.'i Wilson, Miss Sandilatids, Mrs D, Smith, and-Mian Snodgrass; No, 4, Mrs W.

Eagle and Morgan, Mrs- E, Samuel utid Miss Sandilands presided over the piano, and contributed largely to, the pleasure of the gathering." To' Mrs Eagle as "GenHisßima" great credit is due" for the perfect arrangements;.'that were made. The bazaar n continued to<day ftfr the benefit of thptfe who wore uwblu to attend on Saturday,/. A Wejiingioii-'contenijiorary' reports {hat very extensive.:... and ■ ' important are conienrplated in the organ - isation'''of the Survey Department, by Iwhiclv its cost will be Very largely reduoed without its efficiency being in the least degree impaired. The alterations will not in any way interfere with the progress of enrvey of land for settlement, and ' the triangnlation of the King Country will be pushed on as rapidly as ppsßible, but a large amount of work of an unremunerative character now done by the department will be discontinued, and local bodies, &c., will be required to recoup the colony the cost of a great deal of work of a local or private nature which is now done without charge by the department,

K&pp & Hare arc instructed to Bell at mill prices tha following goods': Mosgiel Cloihiner and Hosiery, Kaiapoi Clothing, Auokland Clothing, and Wellington Clothing. We intend to clear our large B'ock at immeiißQ reductions, and offer a bonus of 2j in the £ cash to all purchasers to the value of £l, Don't forget the address.—Apvi, After several years experience in supplying watches for the oolouial market, Littlejohn and Son, of Lambton Quay, Wellington, have observed the need for a thoroughly sound English Lever Watoli at a lower price than that usually paid for suoh watches. It is only bj the judicious division of labor and by the manufacture of large quantities on a uniform plan, that we. are enabled to meet thißwant, We have now the pleasure of introducing our Six Guinea Hunting Silver Lever. This watch, being simple in design; durable, highly finished, and acourate,fulfils, all the requirements of a pockot timekeeper. A written guarantee for two years will be given with each Sent by post, securely packed, on receipt of Post Office order or cheaue.—(Advt) NEGLECT IS OFTEN AS FERTILE A CAUSE OF SUFFERING as the disease itself.
