",TiiE question of placing the large number of immigrants arriving every few weeks in this province is one that requires the earnest attention of the Minorities. As regards this district, a considerable iutmber of tliem sent up.heie, regardless of their jfitn<*fs for the work required of them in an agriculiximl district, are walking about with no work to dn ; and the officer commanding the Engineer — -judging from the number of men generally congregated around his quarters, evidently new arrivals — is pretty well pestered by applicants for admission to the corps. We are strong in the opinion that the free system should be discontinued altogether, or a totally different mode of collecting fcho immigrants in the old country be adopted. We we glad to observe that the list of those to iirrivc by tke HydAspefj is a much more promising one than those we have been called upon to publish of late, 'flie large centres of population can absorb a consider able mnul er of mechanics, and the settlers in the country districts are anxiously waiting till, by fccnie flute, men suited to their requirements come their way. Settlers, if the immigrants were reasonable in their demands, would no doubt be glad to undeitake the training of men to farm work, but they fire of course not prepaied to do so and <liuing the time of instruction pay the va-y highest cunent wages for good men. Exalted notions of their inlueisthc characteristic of nearly all now arrhals ; they represent tlu-msclves as being capable of performing any work, and are often taken on their representations; as a matter of course, disappointment is the result, and on the principle, "OYicobitton twice shy," the sufferer declines to kne Miy thing more to do with newly arrived immigtants. This matter must be looked to or we shall lm\e the country inundated with tramps.

Mr Bntbga*e, the R M. of Dunpdin.thiw addressed a dipsomaniac who caino before him : — I liaro no doubt whatever that you have beou guilty of a contravention of the Vagrant Act by wandering about begging and gathering alms. The idea oi'you, a perfect stranger, gointj to persons for the loan of money ! The constable swore lie saw you near the Bank ol New Zealand soliciting persons, and putting nil together thcro is no doubt that you liave boen systematically hogging. You have been brought to this condition through drinking, and apparently you got sixpence this morning, and rushed awav to thn bar of a hotel for a pint of bper. You hav»» been previously convicted for the very same offence, for winch \ou received three months' irapudonmout. Prisoner: Dj forgive me Ibis time. I implore you, for the sake of my wife and family. If you do I would bo under an evorlmtmg obligation to you. Mr Buthgate : I think it wonld bo^t for my wife nnd family, if I had ruined myjelf bj drink, to be token away from them altogether. I wish I had the power to send you to nn Inebriate Asylum lor the natural "term of your life • it would b the best thing for you, tlio be«t thing W your fumilj, .uid the beat thing for society. I will take, I cure you don't get the clmnco of getting drunk for a period ■ of six months nt any r.ite, and if you come back here again 1 von will very hlcly get lwo or thivi! srim Under the , Vagrant Act 1011 arc gradually accumulating n verv heavy I penalty. You are bringing your wifr, family, and yourself j to ruin, and to give # iou a chance ot leformmtj, you will be I sentenced to sit months' imprisonment with hard labor. 1 We ("Wellington Past) learn that his Excellency Sir James Fer£ii«son will proceed to Auckland tow ards tlio end of nest month, to meet his successor, the Marquis of Wirmanbj, I who will arrive there from Sydney. A few days after tbi* arrival of the Marquis Sir James will take his final departure from the colour. At a *ale of heavy draught hersM at Napier, the following price-* «er«? rpnli^ed — 3-yeir-oId colt, £45; 'Jt-year-old fillj, by Northern Hero, £150; 4 year-old maw by the same sire, cut of a Prince Arthur mure, £60 ; 5-year-old grny gelding, £80; G-ycir-old bay gelding, £80;' 5-year-old" chestnut gelding, £55 : a G-ycir-old pedipree prize mare, £105, buyer Mr Rhodes ; ntifl a bav maiv, G yeiirs old, £S3, which was knocked down to Mr Sutton. A correspondent of the Australasian says: — I notieo in your paper of the 12lh September an inquiry as to * suitable curp for itchiness in the skin of horses, especially the tail. During the lns( seven years my attention has been drawn to horses troubled with itclnnes* of the skin, both m the Maranoa district and tho T)a« ?on — here it is principally confined to brood mnres and unbroken horses. On cnrefully examining the toil, we find that the roots of the hairs which are rubbed off remain firmly adherent ; there is also redness, and not scurfinrss of the skin. It probably is not mangy, but only inflammation of the spine from too great fulness of blood. Bleeding is tho bushmau's cure, it will relieve the hordes for the time being. I have known tho hair to grow on several horses' tails from baing gently worked, and the tails, too, of them washed with worm water and so/t soap. Mrrjurinl ointment will kill tho itel inris of the skin, and the hnir will grow. The itchiness will bo successfully treated with the cure for mnnge, which is lo/, flowers ol sulphur, loz train oil, well mixed ; and half an ounce of turpentine. Wash the tail fir^t with ;onp and warm water, then lub the ointment with a piece of flannel every three or four dayi, c-hangc the homes to green A cd, it possible, or to poorer pasture. A Wellington correspondent of the LifUslton Times writes to tho following effect : — ' It is rumoured that at the next election, Mr l'earce will retire in furor of Mr Vogel, ai » candidate for «ho rcpre.-ontation of this city, and will get a' srat for the Wairarapa, if he can ; and it not, he will b» content with one in th>» Legislative Council, which would of courio be open to him if he made way for tho Premier. Thi§ is tho Hi t lo programme which one or two gentlemen have drown out. but I fnn< r thej are reckoning without their host. MrVogel,il •■« stood for Wellington, would not, be at nil ceitain of being toturred; indeed, I very much doubt whttlur he WOtilfl line the chost of a ol'ance iigainst some mon who would c' f nuly oppose him. ilr Vu'iec would probably net wisely h\ rr'.irnig from the icpre— nf.ition of the ci f y. b;, if he contents it 'ignin, lie will !e tcm "dongly nud.I think, opposed. ili s political vacillatiou h'13 not laiat'd him m t!ip estimation of Ins constituent!, «ho not unn-itwrtilij-, like to have n. representative witb a miiifl 01 his own, 'Did not afraid toboldlvtnow Ins opinioiiS Iho Hawke's Bay Herald undcrotauds that a circular letter lint bten nd<lict«ed by Hie Honor tl.c Supcimtcndcnt to the several mpinbora of the Provincial Council, asking their concurrpAice in a proposal ot a further extension of tho sale of land on deferred payments, to that front seven to eight thousand acres more can be disposed of in this manner. Preaching at St Mary's, Moorfields, Archbishop Manning expressed great sorrow at the recent attempt on the life of Prince Bismarck, and al«o severely censured the insinuation! of tho German Press that the assassin was instigated by the servants of God. To charge the Church with participation in the crime of a mndmnn was like holding the British Empire responsible for the Ifut foul murder.
