Wairarapa Daily Times. [ESTABLISHED 1878] Being the extended title of the Wairarapa Daily, with which it is identical THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 893.

Wellington is good to the poor, and . the poor haying confidence in a liberal administration of the Charitable Aid Act in the Empire City, congregate there from all parts of the Colony. Wellington feeds the destitute from the four corners of New Zealand, and then calls upon the Wairarapa to pay a heavy contribution towards the ( support of people from Auokland, ' Canterbury, Otago, Melbourne and Sydney. The Wairarapa does not like this, but it is not strong enough on the District Board to get things its own way, The old warfare, country verßus town, goes on at the Dis-united District Board, and will be continued as long as the most mischievous measure ever framed by the Liberal party remains on the Statute book, Mr Buchanan, as representing the country, was quite right in saying on Tuesday last that the administration oi charitable aid had been mismanaged in Wellington, and he might with equal truth have added that it had nlso been mismanaged in to district. Under the Aot it is very diffloult to avoid miß-manage-ment, or to bring about any result other than the propagation of paupers, The Aot, as Mr George Beetbam pointod out, is simply unworkable. It is very satisfactory to Gnd so much friction at the meetings of the Disunited Board, and we trust Hie representatives from this district will attend them regularly with the objeot of making things oonneoted with the administration of charitable aid as unpleasant as possible. If Wellington paid for its own sick and poor, and did not make a raid on the country districts for the cost, it would be naturally much more careful in distributing its favours. We have bad more than ono instance lately of the fact that people in the Empire City like to spend other people's money, They were prepared to allow even their Hospital to drift into a most disgraceful condition rather than provide the means necessary for its upkeep, The Government averted the scandal which was expected to be brought about by giving an irregular contribution which the City ought to baye boen ashamed to take, The Empire City will do big things ' for the sick and poor at the cost of the Government, at the cost of the Wai- [ rarapa, at the cost of anybody; but it j does not touch the pockets of its own i citizens. It always had a soul above i sacrifices of this kind, In Auckland, ' and other large towns in this Colony, ' the munifioience of private citizens j hnß been most praiseworthy, but in i Wellington this Sort of patriotism . never was manifested, i

A. man named P. Donald web charged i before MrH. iulin, J.F., at Eketahuim on Monday with the larceny n a bailee of a suit of clothoß from A. A. Dowdeswell. The evidence went to show that Donald had no intention of appropriating the garments and the case was therefore dismissed. Mr E, J, Searl has effected several important improvements in tho Victoria Hotel, Featheraton, since he took it over. The house haa been entirely refurnished from top to bottom. Twenty applications were sent In for the position of head teacher at the Taueru School.

The Education Board has granted £lO for a shelter shed at theMangaone school. The Board's carpenter has also been instructed to repair the HasUell sohool roof, and report re an additional window at the school resideHce at Ekotahuna.

The Wellington Eduoation Board, at the ordinary meeting hold yaeterday, decided that the Olarevillo School Committee must formulae deßnil;e oharges beforo the question of removing one of the teachers could be considered,

A boy named Wood, seven years of age, son of a surveyor, was drowned on Tuesday last through falling into a stream at Otorohanga, Waikato. His father, who leaped into the river, had a narrow escape of his own lite

The Hawera Star conoludes an article on the toachers' difficulty as follows: —" The inspector must have groat power, but the trouble is thct he is not only accuser, but also virtually judge, and tho two functions clash, making matters uncomfortable, uot only for the teachers, but also for the inspector himself."

Heoently at Charlotto plains (Queensland), at a depth of 1848 feet, the greatest underground flow of water yet discovered in the ooutineut of Australia, was tapped and is now yielding from four to live million gallons daily,

A man writes to Woman :-"k woman's income ought to go exaotly twice as far as a man's. A woman doesn't have to havo her hair cut every week, or her boots blaokoned evory hour, Sixpennyworth of rum and rosewater will keep hor tresses in order a whole month, and the samo quantity of polish will Bhine hor boots for a whole soason, She doesn't pay for a newspaper, for the theatre tickets, for tho oab faro, for reading matter, or for home cheer if thoro is any Bort of man in the family. If she i alls in love, she doeßn't have to buy boquets for the object ot hi r affeotionß. She is not obliged to woo a frowning mamma with French bonbons, to molily a stern father with imported cigars, or appease an ugly little brother with oircus tickots and meohanicsl toys, When she marries she does not always support her I mothorand sisters-in-law for tho rest of their natural lives. She uever sives a shilling for a white rosebud and a bit of maidenhair, but she buys tonponnyworth of flowers and twopennyworth of fern, and makes a posy large enough to cover tho front of her dress. She may give twelve and six for hor evening gloves, but she neyergots thorn a size too small and splits the palm, Altogether a woman's extravagances nru about half as numerous as those of her huaband."

One result of tho fall elections (says the How York correspondent of tho Ago) has been to make a young woman the Attorney-Ueneral of tho State of Montana. She is Miss Ella L, Knowles, a college graduate, who studied law in tho State of Now Hampshire, where ehe was born, and aftorwards practised law in Helena, tho capital of Montana. She is said to be briglit, and on ablo lawyer. She was nominated by the people's party and her popularity was such that she ran considerably ahead of her ticket. In the State of Kansas there is to be an election when thu Legislature meets of some one to represent that State in tho National Senate. A Mrs Lease, who, like Miss Knowloa, is a lawyor, is a candidate for thesenatorshlp, and tho latest reports from Kanßaß are that her chances are quite as good as thoae of anyone else, A woman as member of the United States Senate will certainly be a novel sensation, At different times women have been candidates for the lower House of Congress, but none of Hum have ever succeeded In going there,

The Duuedin Star concludes an article on the charitable aid question as follows; "The complicated problem of charitablo aid can only be solved by measures nf radical reform, and this reform, to be effectual, must extond further than the system of administration, and the raising in the least oppressive manner the funds required to meet tho expenditure, • Tho policy of the present Government, which tends absolutely to the destruction of indopendonco of character, and leading to consequent pauperism, must, in the first instance, be changed. Men must learn to rely on their own exertions, instead of hanging on for State assistance and there must be an end to legislation which, under the protoxt of benefiting the working classes, is fast killing out energy and enterprise, thus rendering employment scarce, and destroying that confidence without which prosperity is Impossible." Mr W, linnaird Rose writes as follows to an English contemporary:—Within a milo of whore I now write, on the Braid Bum, which rmiß through Blackford Hill public park, Edinburgh, 1 havo seen a rat -nob the ordinary grey specioß, but the black, with short head, notunlike that of a guinoa pig—dive after, catch a trout, bring it to tho bank, and dovour it with evident relish. An old quarryman, who worked by the stream side, first pointed out master rat's habit to me, and together we have watchod the clever hunter creep along tho branch of an older overhanging a small pool, sit immoveable as if part of the tree until a trout swam within his kon, when, like a flash, ho dived aftor his prey and almost invariaMy succeded in his submarine chase,

Next month (February) there is to bo a very large gathering ofaatives-from all parts assemble at Rotorui, This meeting is to appoint a native Council and Governor from amonsst themselves, and they will make laws relating to their land. The mooting will uphold tho Queen's mnna, or power, in New Zealand, but will complain against the Now Zealand Cabinet and Parliament and their lawß relating to native welfare and land matters, The oatives suggest that tliey frame such laws and obtain the Queon's sanction of the same, having no connections with the New Zealand Governments The Governor will either be selected from the North or South, but Major Pokiha, the great Arawa chief, is expected to bo eleoted to that position. This meeting will not recognise King Tawhiao and his asBembly.—Bay of Plenty Times, A good story is going the round of the town just now concerning a hat of a particular description, whioh was wanted by one of our local magnates. He tried everywhere in search of it, and found it at most places; there was no difficulty about that. But the prices, Oh Fie I nine shillings at one Bfcop, eight at another, seven and six at) third, and a crown somewhere else,' Then Hooper and Company's was retched, and Boon the seeker went home iilighled, singing "That Hat, That Hat, that wonderful Hat; I got it at Hooper's for two and a'eprat/'-r-ADYTi.

The Wellington Education Board has derided that it has no po,verto approve of tho Convent as a school for one of their eoholarahip winners to: attend, ! Mr A, Semeonj the prominent Amor, lean baseball player, who lately took a team to England, iaat present in Wellington. . The Jiew Zealand Loan and Mercanhie Agency Company's Maryborough sale, has been fixed for Wedneaday, the 16th of February.

One of the most eccentrlo of the recent orders of William 11,, according to his Paris critics, was that tho soldiers of the Goßlar garrison be taught an ice-drill on skates.

Qcorco Eeid, the well-known lightweight jookoy, met with a curious accidental Bulls last Sunday. As ho rode round the course at top speed on the racehorse Eve, he oame In contact with a chain usually Btretohed across the track when it is not in uso, The chain caught him across the throat, and he was going at such a pace that tho ironwork was snapped in two. Keid fell insanrible to tho ground, and it was found that his ncokwas badly swollen through the scraping by the iron, his face was bruised, and Wb back was injured. No serious consequences are anticipated, howevor.-Post.

•_ Tho Chairman of the Board of Education was asked this morning, Bays Wednesday's Post, by Mr E. Ef. Eraser whether there was any truth in the report that tho Board was taking teachers who had been discarded by the Wanganui Board. Mr J. Young said he had Been an article on the subject, and considered that as it was of a scurrilous character the Board should Hot take any notice of it. The Board would give undue importance to tho atticle if it was discussed. The Chairman—lt is not true. Within tho past two years only threo teachers from Wanganui have entered the Board's service. Mr Blair added that tho Wanganui people,instead of casting reflections on tho Wellington Board, should endeavour to find out why so manv peoplo wore leaving that district. Tho' subject then dropped.

A serious boating fatality happened on the Yarra Riper, Melbourne, near tho Kew Lunatic Asylum, in the presence of a number of piokniokers, about four o'clock on December 26th, Two youn» men named Jones and A. W." Neck° hired an outriggor skiff, and were turning a sharp corner of the rivor, when a largo boat, containing three youths named J. Tippet, P. Palmer and T. Gould, suddenly came upon them. Both boats endeavoured to avoid a oollision. Tho boats swung round together, and i Jones and Neck, fearing that their skiff i would be capsized, attempted to jump into the larger boat. Tho result was that both were upset, and the occupants were thrown into the water. A young man in a boat near at hand went to the rescuo, and got hold of Jones as he was sinking for the last time. Gould got hold of an oar, and was thus saved, but the other three sank before any assistance could be prooured. The bodies haye not been recovered.

At Hnpior, the other night (says the Telegraph), the Key. Mr Sinclair said, in the course of his sermon :—Where were the youug man ? If they looked around in the various churches not twonty per cent, of the young men of Napior would bo found within. Where, then, wore they ? It was useless disguising the faot that many of them wero standing at street corners. The sporting columns of the newspaper was their Bible, tho racehorse their idol, and the only praise they over Bounded was perhaps for some favourite equine, whilo many were, no doubt, that night paying more attention to the discussion of the noxt week's races rather than giving a thought to tho House ot God. Ho asked, did such a state of things augur well for the youth of JSew Zealand ? What was to become of tho future generation, At the recent meeting of the Wellington Benevolent Trustees a man, who sari he was just upon 70 and ablo to work if people would employ him instead of telling him ho was too old, was offered a place in tho Sooiety's Home, but did not appear to be satisfied with the offer. As he left the room he said, "Well, what am I to do? Am I to go away and drown myBolf! I have had no food for nearly two days," The Trustees instructed the Believing Officer to give the old fellow rations and an order for admission to the Home, The man who has already been assisted by tho Society one shilling urges that he is able and willing to work at his trade, but objects to doing a Jittle work at the Homo in return for his keep. A man fed his fowls upon rice, hut finding that the houso sparrows dropped down in clouds and robbed the poultry of most of their food, determined to get the better of them, and substituted maize, He was astonished to observe that the sparrows, finding the grains too large to swallow, carried them to an adjacent railway line, and waited for the train to pass by, when they were enabled to pick up the crushed meal. Another man in South Australiaprocureda stuffed cat and an owl to frighten the sparrows away from his choice grapes, but the birds sat upon the stuffed cat to jeer and poke fun at the owl, and finally picked the feathers out of the latter to line their nests with, But the strongest evidenoe of the cunning of the sparrows was instanced near Miteham in South Australia whore the Swiss head gardener to the owner of a fine estate dreasod up a guy in ancient Swiss garments and fitted it up with a long hoavy pipe, and a stick and chair, This was intended to protect a strawberry bed, but the sparrows perohed upon the stick placed across tho knees of the dummy, and after a short rest and inspection of the best berries in tho patch, alighted on the bed, and partook freoly of the luscious repast so liberally provided by their unmhW host,

Tho Arabs havo different notions from our regarding the rearing of foals, Tho little creature, instead of being allowed to run with the mother, as in this country, until it Is six or eight months old, is weaned at the end of its first month and taken from tho dam. It is at first fed upon camels milk, and from the time it is a few days old 1b kept tied up either by a rope around tho nock or around tho hind leg above the hock. It grows up in its master's tent and is the playmate of the children, who mount it beforo it Is a year old, It is broken by that time, and is trained to weight packing at a very early age. According to a time-honored Arabian custom every colt or filly is given very hard work bofore it is three years old. The Arabs olaim that if a horse does not do hard work then he will never alter bo fit to do so. The throe-year-old) therefore, is always ridden a hard journey. As a consequence splints, bent shanks and even broken knees are common among Arab horses, and are scarcely recognised by the Bedouins, travellers tell us, as bleminhos to take account of,

Thus" Ouida" on Australian Sooiety: —" The office-holder in a republic has as many toadies aud parasites as an arohduke'ofatoiipriiß. The man who lives in a shanty built of empty meat and biscult tins on tho plains of Nevada or New South Wales is by many degrees a more degraded form of humanity than his brother who has stayed amongst English wheat or Tuscan olives or-Frenoh vines or German pine-trees; many degrees moro degraded, because infinitely coarsor and more brutal, and more hopelessly soaked in a sordid and more hideous manner of lifo, All the vices, meannesaes, and ignominies of the Old World reproduces themselves in the so-called Now World, and become more vulgar, more ignoble, more depicable, than in their own hemisphere. Under the Southern Oross of the Australian skies, cant, snobbism, corruption, vonality, fraud, the worship of wealth per «, are more rampant, more naked, and more vulgarly bedizened than beneath the stars of Ursa Major. It ib not from the mixture of Methodism,drunkenness,revolvcr.shoot. ingj wire-pulling, and the frantic expenditure of riihards who were navvies or miners a week ago, that any superior light and leading, any alteration for the better in social life can be ever looked for. All that America and Australia will over do will be tp servilely reproduce the ' follies and hopelessly vulgarise the habitß of tho older oivilWon of Europe,"

The Kumara Times says:—The great teaturo in Westland this year is the remarkable yield of applos and other fruit. Some of the gardens on the train road to Hokitika, contain trees whioh have to be carefully propped, so heavy is the weight they carry. At Wolverhampton, a few days ago, a ratcatcher offered for a bet to bite off the head of a rat. The wager was accepted, and several of his friends backed him. The disgusting teat was accomplished, but the man was subiiepmtly taken ill, and is now dead. _ Mr F. H. Wood makes further additions to his entrios for the Earn Fair of Lincoln rams bred by A.

lromomber hearing years ago (writes Mr Labouchere in Truth) a good story about Jay Gould. He had a quantity of stock of some particular railroad, which, being worthless, he was anxious to sell. His minister ua me to him one morning and said to him, "Mr Gould, I am a poor man and I have a large family. I have managed to put by 10,000d01., and if I could double it I should not bo anxious about the future of my family if I wore called away." "Minister," said Mr Gould, "I will toll you how to do so, provided you will tell no one eke." and he advised him to purchase largely of this _ particular etook for a rise. The minister did so, and the etook was in great demand. But a month or two afterwards the market price fell heavily Again the minister called on Mr Gould, "lam ruined," he said, "you have deceived your pastor." " Pastor," replied Mr iould, "I told you tokeo'p my advioo a secret. Did you do so?" 'Well, "said tho Minister, "{didnionlion it to a few of our oldors," "So I thought you would," said Gould," and I have got off tho whole of the stock I held on them and their friends; hero aro your 15,000d01. back, and here are 10,000 moro for your trouble in tho matter.

Charles Wells, who was somo time ago so much talked about for his success at the Monaco gambling babies, was arrested on Saturday, December 3rd, at Havre on charts forwarded by Scotland Yard to the French police and tho Publio Safety Department. Ilia Daily Mm correspondent in Paris says that Wells sailed from England in the yacht Palais Royal, and on Saturday, when too veajol came alongside tho jetty at Havre, the Procurator of the Kepublio, who was waiting on the jetty, with a police commissioner and dotoctivos went onboard.

A deputation consisting of Messrs T. Parsons and Buylißß, representing tho Ekctahuna Road Board, waitod upon the Minister of Lands yesterday in reference to the road leading from Eketabuna to Mount Baker Block, known as tho Mangarongaronga road. The deputation (which was introduced by Mr A. W. Hogg, H.H.R.) stated that tho settlers had borrowed about LI2OO for tho purpoao of forming and retailing tho road, but a mile of it went through a Native reserve, and about L 260 was required for foncing and compensation to tho owner. The deputation askod that the Government should take the necessary steps to proclaim the road and boar the cost of opening it, Thoy also asked that a portion of tho money available from tho land for road purposes should •bedevotcd to this road. IhoMinistor promised to lay the matter before the Cabinot, and he stated that he would endeavour to have the necosßary proclamation issued. Tho deputation then brought under tho Minister's notice the desirability of forming a road through the Totara Re. serve in the Wellington Special Settlemont Block. It was mentioned that tho road would lead to tho Stirling Special Settlement and would opon up a large quantity of Crown lands. Tho Minister promised that the matter would receive favourable consideration. The deputation further asked the Ministor to take some steps to vest in tho hands of the Parkville special settlers tho administration of certain resorvosinthat settleinont. They stated that a numbor of reserves had been set apart for various purposes, but at the present time they were a howling waste, while on tho other hand settlers were greatly desirous of leasing them. Mr McKenzie said, in reply, that the matter should roceivo every consideration, and ho would see what could bo dene undor the powers conferred under the now Land Act, The deputation then withdrew.—N.

Eoratimo marvellous Melbourne hail a great run of wonderful but fictitious prosperity. Everything was •* boomed." Fabulous prices wero the order of the day. But soon came the end. The "boom" burst. Apparently inexhaustible money was exhausted. Trade collapsed, and severe depression clogged all tbo wheels of commerce James Smith, of Te Aro Houso, has, however, profited by his recent visit to this city of" the doldrums," and has made immense purchases ot new and seasonablo drapery goods at infinltestimal prices. There will bo rarest of rare bargains at the "erupted boom" sale, commencing to-morrow, January 26th, at Te'Aro Houso, Wellington. This will be no ordinary sale. It will bo better than any surplus stock sale, Superior to any bankrupt stock sale, and unsurpassed by that sale of all sales, a salvage sale, Because it is an effect of the exploded Melbourne I .'boom," wo call it the "erupted boom " sale, at Te Aro Houso, Wellington. Country residents should visit this salo without delay. In this caso time is doubly previous, The bargains, though numerous, will not last for ever, City customers, ovor on the alert, will come to it in droves, CounI try settlers should not hesitate and so lose tho chance.
