We said a fow words yesterday regardiug Mr Hogg's plea for the co-opera-tive labourers who dissipated the , wages placed at their disposal by the State, instead of assisting their wires aDd children. The same day we read 1 an illustration of the pass things have come to in the neighbouring coloay of New South Wales. Burglarß entered the City Bank at Oarcoa'r on Sunday morning, and surprised the manager, Mr Phillips, whom one attacked ,with a tomahawk, Mrs Phillips and Miss Cavanagh rushed to the rescue. A bloody struggle ensued. The robber struck out right and left, instantly killing Mr .Phillips and Miss Oavanagb. Mrs Phillips and child were seriously wounded. The robber then escaped. Search parties are scouring the district without success, though the murderer is believed to be known, The Joint Stock Bank at VVicklmm, near Newcastle, also was entered on the previous night. The clerk, Charles Hurt, while visiting the Bank at 10 o'clock, was bouud and gagged, but the robbers failed to secure any money and escaped, We beliove we are correct in. saying that a worse class of men, a more dangerous Bet ip every bcdbb of {he'word, is to be'fouud in New South Wales than in New Zealand, But what security have we that men of the stamp of those who committed murder at CarOQar will not bo found in this colony, A year ago we called attention to toe fact that the Government were absolutely advertising the resources of this colony in Australia, and offering inducements to men to come over and settle here, In large centres liko Wellington a good many undesirable men have accepted the invitation, have landed and have given the police a good deal of trouble. The offer of " work for all" made by the Governmentnot only attracted men, who could not obtain employment elsewhere, but also men, who did not care for honest employment of any sort. During the past three years the character of our population in New Zealand has deteriorated, and wo are approaching a social oondijion some* what similar to that which exists in New South Wales. In view' of the horrors incidental to a low mor.a] standard in our populations cannoj afford to indulge in an affected sympathy with viqe or lawlessness. Id our opinion the member for Master' ton has frequently displayed a laxity in his views, which has been prejudicial to Bociety, If a countrj jcpnstable annoyed a publican by J[eepiD|ia|o,ovigi][anlejeupon him whjt was result j?

The Key. Isidore Daimprp, View of Oo'ebrooke, near Credjton, (says London Truf/i) has obtained an order of admissiop to Exeter- Workhouse for himself, his wife, and four children. For a olergyman to be brought, to 'ihjs extremity of Restitution is, under any circumßt&nces, far from creditable to the Churchy and the story whioh Mr Daimpre related to the Guarcjians rnakes his esse appear .. an exceptionally hard one. He got into debt, and' his living, worth £26(} a year was sequestrated. In this there was nothing very uncommon, nor is Mr Daimpre the fine parson whoae pocuniaiy difficulties have been vastly increased by dilapidation chaigea, It is rather in tho treatment to which he has been subjeoted by his Bishop that Mr Daimprp has been so unfortunate, He asserts that a soheme, under whinh his relatives would have paid off tho sequestration foil through in 'consequence of a letter written by tho Bishop declaring that he could never return to his pariah, The Bishop vaguely alleges that Jhe Vicar has lost the coufi: dence of the parish, butdecjineß to'state in what way he has done sp and makes no definite oomplaint against him, Mr Daimpre' iambus' kept out of his parish, and driven' to tho workhouse, without oven knowing the true .reason,

A meeting of the Greytown Library Committoe waß'held at the Council Chambers last (Monday) evening. Pro- ' Bent: Messrs];', H. Wood (in the chair), J, J). B'eageriy, and H, McMaster, The minutes ot the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Correspondence was read from Mr W, 0, Nation, tendering his resignation as a member of this Committee, and suggesting that a doable writing table and stationery be placed in the public reading room; from the Greytown Hospital Trustees, asking that the illustrated papers and periodicals, when they had done service in the reading rooms, might be sent to the hospital for the benelit of the patients, Resolved that Mr Nation's resignation bo accepted, and that a letter eipressing the regret of the committeo and their thanks for past services tendered, be forwarded to Mr Nation.

At a women's Musical Congress recently held at Chicago a papor was read from the pen of the well : known prima donna, Madame Nordica, in which Bhe gave ira'anusing accnunt'of some of the troubles of a prima donna, Whon Miss Ellen Terry plays Margaret the distin. guished aotreu of course takes whatever time Bhe wants to array herself in the jewels, Bub at the Opera this practically haß to be done to music, and M, Gounod has given the sioger so few moments to put on the earrings that Madame Nordica was for some years obliged to tie a piece of silk round hor ears and hang tho trinkets upon it, The jewel oasket, too, has to be discovered at a point specially indicated in the music'; and " tho singer must get to the mirror while performing difficult feats of vocalisation and at the same time expressing something by tho face and always appear natural." It may be somo compensation that the operatic prima donna, as a rule, earns a great deal more than the avorago aotrees, and that the greatest of actresses nevor received suoh a fee as the iIIOOO per night which Madame Patti obtains for singing in the United States, or the 800 guineas which is her reward for each) performance in Loudon'
