CORRESPONDENCE CONDENSED.

A correspondent, "Justice," writes that he quite agrees with "Onlooker's" remarki regarding the interviewing and reception ol the alleged murderer Butler, and thinks beyond the reporters it docs not redound to the credit of any who interviewed him, especially ladies (!), who ought to know better, unless they are anxious to copy the numerous • American females who wanted to . marry Butler. The result often of this sort of thing ' is that some weak-headed knave is, some- : time* tempted to commit a crime in the hope ■ that he may be similarly treated.

" Sufficient" writes in reply to Mr, Baber'a proposals to commemorate the Queen's 60th year of reign, that lie thinks the Auckland citizens have made sufficient provision for one section of suffering humanity in what has already been provided for the blind and without desiring in the least to detract from the kindly and good tervice* rendered to this institution, thinks it is undesirable we should find »n asylum for the whole oi the blind of the colony. Let etch province do its work in the good cause.
