The rehearsals of "Sweet Lavender" are going on briskly.

Ia a very lnrld and Interesting article in the last Review of Revttwa Dean Fltchetb de3oants on muslcUns and * musical taste In New Zealand, and undet the somewhat misleading beading, " lounger Wellington Muslolanp," has some hard things to say of Messrs tiirnetl, Hill, Jones, and Hoben, with wham be says the New Zealand masla of tbe future is believed to be.

Mr Ernest D.

A. photo of the author, Of representative New Zealand football authorities (lecladlng Mr F.

We wish to Impress upoa tbe people of this community the fact that this afternoon and this evening am balance classes are to be started la the AtheDsoam, At i p.m. Dr. Jarviß will impart to a ladies' class instruction on "Nursing," and In the evening Dr. Milne-Thompson will open a class for men with a lecture on "First Aid to the lojared." The importance of Instruction of this kind is too obvious for comment, though we would advhe all those who can possibly spare tbe time to start at tbe beginning and follow the thing up. Ib is no good to commence in the middle, or. knock off half way. The funeral of the late Mr Hodgson took place yesterday at Hastings, and was very largely attended by members of the telegraph department, railway department, a large number of tbe members of the Wealeyan Church (of which tba deceased was a prominent member at Blenheim) and others. The service was conducted by tbe Hey. Mr Frost, and the body was, after being token to the ohnrcb, interred in the Hastings cemetery.

After the Benediction the "Dead March" in Saul was played by the organist, Mr Sbarpe, the congregation all standing as a mark of respect to the memory of the martyr missionaries. We find that we were mistaken in oar statement in a recent Issue that neither of the three cancer patients at present in the refuge we're ever in the hospital. On further inquiry we Had that one of them was in that institution for a time, bnt was discharged, and tlisa found his way into tbe refuge. Another man was an out-patient of the hospital, and Bubeequeutly at Ws own request received an order from Dr. Sweet far admission to the hospital. Tne third came from Waipnkurau straight iato the refuge Captain Baker informed us last night that Mr Cohen was not present doiiog that portion of his interview with Mrs Neill when that lady told him that) it was the practice to tarn oancer patients oat of the hospitals in other parts of the colony. As a matter of fact we believe that it Is not a ' : general practice to tain snfftrers from < that disease out of the New Zealand < hospitals, though there is a standing rate i in tbe case of tbe Napier Institution that , chronic cases of tbe kind Bball not be retalned tbere. 1 Two men were arrested at Port Ahnrlrl ' on Saturday night charged with stealing <J two overcoats from the Clarendon Club t Hotel. Tbe theft was a barefaced and c impudent one. From what we can learn one of the men went into the hotel and D shortly afterwardß emerged with an over- p coat on bis arm, whioh he handed to his g mate opposite the post-office. Then he 0 west into the pabliohouee again and shortly afterwards re-appeared with » another mackintosh. The pair then got I 1 into a Spit baa and made off, Suspicions were aroused, a cabman Identified two _ men named Frank Melson and William Farnagal (of the ship Rio) as the culprits, P' and a telephone meesoße was at once sent gl to Constable Harvey, who found the men fj| in tho Railway Hotel and placed them tj ander arrest. The theft was perpetrated , at 10 o'clock, and at 10.30 the men were '* in tbe Spit lock-np. Tbe owner of one of <™ the overcoats has Identified it ; tbe gentle- tb man to whom the other is supposed to f r belong has been to ill to be bothered abont the matter. The alleged culprits will appear before the S.M. this morn- P c ing. pa Quite a modern Bayard was tha late be Lord Sbrathnalrn, whose Btatae now he adorns Knightbiidge. In Syria, says the wi Pall Stall Gazette, he abarged alone into tbe midst of tho advance guard of an Egyptian cavalry regiment, and then, P r with the assistance of 26 mounted Arabß, th drove bick the advance guard and checked na tbe march of tbe whole regiment. Id a c Beyrout he fought cholera again, and again triumphed. In the Crimea he came * almost unharmed out of even more ter- ba: rlble dangers. From the heights of iDker- to man the Knuslans were amazed to see a bai tall gaunt figure come lelsnraly from tie tbe French position and ride with Insolent disregard of danger down the line of their an pickets. He rnde steadily and leisurely cal through a withering fire, tho target of mo every Russian gun. It seemed to them a \ a , that it was Impossible to hit bim. At last , o] be reached the end ot hie promenade. As „ he tnrned to go back he was hit, and fell ' headlong from his horse, whioh remt>ined Cat standing by him. In a minute or two the Chi

fallen figure was seen to painfully rise, to shake himself, pat hia clmrgei'u neck, and then, with the same leisurely, careless air, to lead the horse, which was also wonnded, beck. The coolneaa of it all made such aa Impression on (he Russians that the order was given, "Ceaae Firing at the iflgnre ! ■' Wo have received from Dr. Caro a memoir of bis eldest coo, Mr Percy Caro. B A., L L.8., who died in the 'United | States on bia way tn Naplar after having attained high bonora at Cambridge { University. The little volume is divided into three parts. In the fiiat Dr. Caro \ recounts the career of bia son. A father is hardly tbs beat one to write a memoir, for in regarding a beloved son things bear ; a different proportion to him than to i others, aod it would have been better if the doctor had submitted thia part of the ar i work to a judloions editor. The second •?• and really remarkable part is oompssed of ! extracts ot letters written by Mr Peroy to his parents, chiefly from Cambridge. Naturally reserved with otnen, he opened bia whole beirt to bis parents, and even those raoßt intimately acquainted with him will read hla letters with some ■. astonishment. They show the development of a deeply philosophic mind at that period of life when yonth la left behind and manhood entered npon. They impress the reader aa the utterances of a man of refined feelings, oatnestly seek* ing after truth and light, especially in religions matters, often grieved because be conld not see eye to eye with bia mother, bat Booming pretence or con* cealment even though he- knew and felt acutely that he was giving pain to those he loved. The third part oonstata of extracts from letters home when on the Continent and in America, whloh ware published In the Herald under the title of " A Napier Boy on hli Travel*." O, W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyle. Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say 10. He was almost prostrated with s cold when be proenred a bottle of Chamberlain* Cough Remedy, lie says : "It gave me prompt relief.. 1 find It to be an Invaluable remedy for coughs and colds."
