There have just been placed in the local museum several Island curios model catamaran and shells from the Central Group, beche-de-mer from Fiji, stone adze, native paddle, and whalebone specimens, presented by Mr Snoswell, who was last night accorded a vote of thanks by the Hawke's Bay Philosophical Society. To-night the second of the series of literary leotureß will be given in the Athenseum Hall. The subject of the lecture ib that of one of England's best known laureates, William Wordsworth, whose oharm of language in his descriptions of the beauties of nature earned for him the title ot " poet painter." Mr W. Dinwiddie will deliver the leobure, which should prove very interesting.

A correspondent signing himself " Bed, White, and Blue," writes from Eastings, inent the inner harbor mystery. Some )f his assertions are distinctly libellous, involving as they do a oharge of murder, md for that reason we uinst decline to insert his letter in fall. He remarks, inter alia:— "There is a strong feeling, both here and in Clive, that the body found last Sunday week is that of a girl well known, and that from the circumBtance3 disclosed by the post mortem examination she was made awuy with. . . Do the police intend to issue photographs of the body found, affording the chance of identification ? Would any useful purpose be served by exhuming the body, as in view of the rumors referred to, several would willingly go in to view the body, if not too late ? " The opening exhibition of the Christ church Kinematograph Company will take place to-morrow night in the Theatre Royal. The entertainment is said to rank in the best class of its kind. It is ingeniously diversified, and there aro just enough war views, and very excellent ones at that, to impart the necessary patriotic flavor. There are also somo exceedingly clever pictures illustrative of the wonderful illusions of Mr Maskolyne at the Egyptian Hall, London. These themselves are well worth seeing, as showing to what a pitch of perfection this art of taking pictures as to present life-like appearances has been brought. In addition to the war scenes there are several comio pictures. A musical olio will be given between the first and second parts of the performance. The performers include Mr Harry Baxter, Miss Amy Vaughan, Mr Sid Warren, and Miss Edith Vernon, the syndicate's piarriste. Major Cain delivered a powerful lecture last evening in the Theatre Royal on the " Eescne and Prison Gate Homes " of the Salvation Army. An enthusiastic crowd faced the speaker, and was delighted at the wonderful success whioh has attended the Army's effort to rescue the fallen, care for the dying, and reclaim the degraded. Mr Fraser, M.H.E., the ohairman, spoke in very high terms of the glorious work accomplished, and earnestly endeavored to enlist sympathy, and urged every Salvationist to be loyal to the end. A very hearty vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. To-night a magnificent programme of 20 musical items will be rendered, principally from outside friends of the Army. It includes three pianoforte solob, eight violin solos, six vocal solos, two vocal duets, three anthems, one cornet solo, cornet duet, and a band selection. Major Cain will preside. The proceeds will be devoted to the rescue work, and a large crowd iB expeoted, „GEM UNIVERSAL" Plates, for general work, give beautiful detail and are easy to develop.
