Our usual supplement this morning contains a Detective Story, entilled/" A family of Burglar*," an interesting article, " Among tho Unemployed in Sydney," being the experiences of tho Sydney Morning Herald's " special " who passed a night in the Exhibition Building among theunfortunates in the "City lif the Beautiful Harbour," sporting and rural notes, and other items. At the R.M. Court, Cambridge, yesterday, Captain Jackson save judgment in this case Hamilton v, Bum-Murdoch, for plaintiff for £1 and cost*. The claim was £(! for a dog that dafendent had destroyed for worrying his sheep. Messrs Yates and Co., seedsmen, Auckland, have a now advertisement in this issue.. The first-class quality of all the seeds supplied by this firm have Brained for them a reputation that it will be difficult to shake. This desirable consummation has been reached by the great care they take, that none but new soeds ahull be sent out or supplied in their name. The Unions, says a Melbourne paper, are almost the only organis itions that are fighting against the general depression. Profits may diminish, rents may fall, interest be difficult to nbtiiii with safety, but wages nvist not budge an iota except upwards. The tiehc is as h )pnl*ss was that of Camito itsivnst the. ndvancing tide. Meantime the obstructive altitude of the Unions hinder-* tho r.'turu of pre imparity, There can b« 110 return of prw. perity until all classes alike buckle t'i and determine to make the best of the position.
H.M.S. Champion has annexed Cornwall!-" Inland, Soiiih-wo-t of Hawaii. We have been asked by Dr. ICenny to express his toaukt' to all those who subscribed to the 'mid for purchasing the necessary chart* and anatomical diawlogs for the instruction of the nursing staff of the \Vaikato District Hospital. We have bee n requested, to state that ut the Rev. Mr Thorn.™' lecture on Wednesday, the. string band will render several choice selections during the evening; and a number of comical slides will be exhibited for the amusement of tho young people. Arbour day was turned to useful account at Tuhikaratnea, by t ifl ladies of the distriet. These mustered in considerable force at the school, where a pleiiBint afternoon was passed in planting Ho.ver.", shrubs, etc., and geuerally putting the grounds int» order. We would remind our readers that tho Waikato Farmers' Club will meet at Cambridge <in Monday next, at 7.30 p. in. An important letter suggesting an alterilion regarding the meetings of the Club will collie up for discussion, and id addition Mr R. Reynolds will read a paper on " Correspondence from Homo and the London market." The unfortunate man, Henry Newby Goodwyn, who was admitted into the Waikato Hospital on Tuesday afternoon last succumbed to his complicated ailments on Thursday night. From the first, lJr. Kenny had little hopes of saving his life, its it was evident from the terrible condition that the man was in that his removal from Waingaro ha 1 been too long delayed. Mr J. B. Harlcer has been appointed agent in Hamilton for the British and Continental Piano Company, whoso head office is at Queen-street, Auckland, Exceptionally easy terms are offered for the acquisition of musical instruments (pianos, organs, &c.), and at prices at from £0 to £10 cheaper than ever submitted before in this disf. ict. We understand that the Messrs Hobbs Bros., of Hamilton East, have leased the Tauwhare Hotel lately occupied by Mr G. Walworth. It is the intention of the new lessees to carry on the temperance hotel in connection with their apiary, which will be removed from Hamilton. Ihe house is to bo thoroughly renovated, and should prove a comfortable halting place for travellers to and from Mornnsvi le. We would particularly draw the f attention of dairymen to the sale of selected dairy cows from Mr >)• S. Richardson. to be hold at Cambridge on Saturday next by Mr J. McNicol. The cattle are a really choice lot, tho cows being milking or* close to calving (mostly to a Jersey bull), j and in the present market there is sure to be keen competition for them as most of the factories will be making a start shortlyIt is just about twelve months go since Mr H. Greig (Messrs Booth, Macdonal'l and Co.'a representative) visited Waikato, and he has just returned on another visit, which will extend over two months. During his stay Mr Greigwill make Cambridge his headquarters, and all communications addressed to nun there will receive prompt attention. On Saturday next Mr Greig will give a trial of the Carlyle Spading Harrow at Air J as. Taylor's farm immediately after the sale. Ali interested are invited. Other trials of the implement will be given in Ohaupo and Hamilton on datos which will be notified later on. Fully two hundred people followed the remains of the late Mr Thomas Finch to their last resting place in the Alexandra Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. The burial service was conducted by the Rrv. R. O'C. Biggs, who had driven up from Hamilton for the purpose. The late Mr Finch was a very old mason and at his expressei wish the funeral was a masonic one; Mr Geo. T. Wilkinson, the W.M. of the Alexandra Lodge, at the close of the burial service delivered the sirnplo but impressive service provided by the craft. Friends from all parts of Waikato attended to pay their last sad tokens of respect and to offer their sympathy tor and condolence with the bereaved widow and family. An unfortunate accident happened at the hunt when the hounds wer.) at ITautapu on Thursday last, whereby the racohorse Security, the property of Mr ■ John Livingstone of Hamilton, was killed. Security, who was hemg ridden by J Jr. Kenny's groom (T. Heaslip), in attempting to negotiate a stiff flight of rails apposite Mr Norrish's house, struck them somewhat heavily, aud fell with his head underneath him, and broke * neck. 1 Luckily, however, his rider escaped with only a slight shaking. This will prove a , serious loss to his owner, as Security, who ' was only a young horse, would have made a good one across country. 1 The annual sales of stud rams, says a Sydney exchange, are now in full • swing. Notwithstanding that the number tu hand is smaller than usual, the bidding ' so far is not spirited and complaints are : made that the prices realised are too low to be remunerative. The fact is that the low price of wool, tho glut of sheep, tho ravages ' of tho rabbit pest, and la*t but not least . difficulties which arise from indefiniteness of tenure and exorbitant assessment, have seriously curtailed the purchasing power of the pastoralist. Available capital also is not so plentiful as it was when the borrowI ing policy was in full swing, and tho general 1 mot d'ordre just now among the squatters ; as among all classes, is, "Go Slow.' : Ragardin g the New Zealand oats i the Kelso Mail of June has this to say : It : is generally thought that Scotland is the ' only good oat producing country, but the • New Zealanders say they can grow better, . and in proof of this they have sent a couple ' of cargoes (the first ever shipped to this 1 country) to the order of Messrs Bell and ' Adamson, of. Durham, one cargo of nearly , 13,000 sacks having been discharged at West Hartlepool and the other at Tyne I Dock. The firm has a large connection • among colliery owners and their testimony iti favour of the new oats will, no doubt, lead to further importations. The oats are l chiefly for horse-feeding and oatmeal and it is said that the finer qualities are inuch better than any Scotch oats that were ever grown in the north country. ! Mr John Parr, has just received ' another consignment of the Planet. J. _R. . Cultivators and Combined Seed Drills. Now that the planting season is rapidly approaching we would strongly advise our > farming, and gardening friends to intir- ■ view these popular implements, as they are undoubtedly the greatest labour-saving ' machines ever placed in the market. There [ are a considerable number of the drills and [ cultivators at present in use in different parts of the Waikato, and are very highly ' commended for the rapid and excellent i manner in which they perforin their work, combined with lightness of draught. Notwithstanding the fact that several new and i striking improvements have lately heen p added,the prices have been reduced, so that ' there is no excuse for the smallost settler 1 not invosting in oue, ' The opponents of woman suff- ' rage are convinced that the female vote | will lead to the Bible in schools, abolition I of the liquor trade, aid tho prohibition of 1 all kinds of gambling. Theso three reforms, 1 it is asserted, will destroy the State system of education, will ruin hotel and brewery property, and put a stop to horse racing. They will consequently lead to the es--5 tablishment of denominational schools, plygrog selling, and private gambling hells. The re.mlt will be a snuffling, puritanical, priest-ridden, and a hypocritical people, i whitened sepulchres, a mixture of canting--3 cads, sneaks, and knaves. It has been j said that woman's influence rules the world; that it is refining and elevating; ' but whoever thought that refinement would f leave such awful dregs behind it as the I above would show? For ourselves, we would rather see. womenTgoing to tho polls in their hundreds than that one Deery, ' ignorant, wife-boating loafer should have a 1 vote.—Napier Telegraph. j "The present favour the violin . is receiving from young ladies," said Professor .Simon Jackson, "has not been exaggerated in the published accounts. ' Originally a mere fad of a few social leaders J in the East particularly Boston, it has he- : come an enthusiasm with ladies, and in r Chicago there are several hundred young ' ladies learning the noble instrument. Pos- ' sibly the example of Camilla Urso's playing • is something of stimulus; but, at any rate 1 there are scores of young iadies ensau'eti and with wonderful zeal. The difficulties ■ at the outset in learning the violin daunt a < good many men, but these only seem to en- • courage yonng ladies. Every instructor ' notices this remarkable difference between i the sexes. Th« girls, too, practice harder 1 anil longer. Do they make good per- • formers? Indeed, yes. Tho violin is a f lady's instrument, giving forth its sweetest 5 sounds to her delicate touch and n-ftaotiiifc her warm, >yni|inthetic nature. Oh. yes, • ladios make fine performers. There arts I Hovera! in the city whose work not so very many men can surpass.''—Chicago News.
Garrotern now .vork in fours, atoording to a Melbourne paper. Two walk a long way behind and two in front of their intended victim. When they come to a quiet spot the rear column doubles up, and the front column marks time. Between the four the wayfarer is caught. In Mr Skewes' advertisement, " Carrots for sale, ' the price, by an over sight on our part, wis made twenty shillings, per ton, whereas it should have been thirty shillings. The are of excellent quality, and the cheapest feed for horses or dairy cows now offering. A rather unfortunate accident ocrurred in Mr Gifford's studio yesterday ufteruo. n. He had left the studio early, in order to allow the South Auckland Racing Club to hold a meeting there. On his easel was a rimu panel, on which was an almost finished ' study' in oils, with water colour relief, which he had been painting to order during the past week. On returning to his -tndio in the evening, he found tho panel completely broken into two pieces, evidently having heen accidently knocked on to the flo'T. We leatn that tho club rightly intend to recompense Mr Gilford for the loss sustained. A wonderful feat in artistic cur* gery has recently been performed by Dr. Wilkins, the Auckland surgeon. Mr Gascoigne, of Otahnhu, a young man about) 28 years of age, had suffered from disease of the nose, which had eaten away that organ to such an extent that there was practically none of it above the level of his cheeks. The disfigurement was so great that it debarred him from obtaining employment. He went to the Hospital, but the doctors there would do nothing for him ; so he consulted several surgeons in private practice, but with no better result. As a last resource, he went to Dr. Wilkins. This was about two months ago. Dr. Wilkins, having made a careful examination, ascertained the source of the disease and applied himself to its core. After a course of medical treatment this was effected, but tho unfortunate man was still without a nose. Dr. Wilkins, therefore, applied himself to remedy by surgery the ravages of disease. Living open the cheeks of the patient, tho doctor drew together sufficient of the healthy flesh to form a now nose. The operation luu been completely successful, and so skilfully has it been performed by Dr. Wilkins that there is not the slightest scar left on either cheek, and the now happy patient whenever he looks iti a mirror laughs and says, "It is really wonderful ; isn't it?
