The Timaru Herald. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1885.

While bo much has occurred of late to bring discredit on the Peerage, it is refreshing to turn to the life of one of its oldest members whose conduct throughout has been calculated to reflect the highest honor on his order, and will do much to shield it from the popular odium into which some of the 1 less reputable scions of the nobility are ; doing their best to hurry it. We refer to the venerable Earl of Shaftesbnry, who is m his 85th year, and, according to a telegram which we published on Saturday, lying m a very critical condition. Lord Shuftesbury affords a conspicuous example of a man, born to luxury and wealth and of great scholarly attainments, who has consistently throughout his life devoted his talents > to ameliorating the condition of those nofc so fortunately placed as himself. He was born m London on April 28th, | 1801, at a timo when ail England was • mad with enthusiasm over Nelson's ■ glorious victory at Copenhagen. In 1 due time he proceeded to Oxford, where he gained a first-class m classics, J graduated M.A. m 1832, and was i created D.O.L. m 1841. At the age of 25 he made his debut m parliamentary life, being returned as member for ' Woodstock, the constituency now repref Rented by Lord Randolph Churchill, i Subsequently he represented Dorchester, - Dorsetshire and Bath, m succession, and was sitting as member for the J fashionable watering-place just named , m 1851, when his father died, and ■ succeeding to the title, he took his i placo m the House of Lords. When m ' the House of Commons Lord Ashley, by which title he was then known, manit fested great independence of parties, but always seemed to be on the lookout . for the social advancement of the mosses. That was the one object on which his political aspirations were centred, and the Government which showed tho most earnestness m this direction was the Government which secured his allegiance. He supported Liverpool and Canning, and ' was a Commissioner m the Board of | Control m the Administration of the Duke of Wellington. In Sir B. Feel's

Ministry of 1834-5, Lord Ashley was a Lord of the Admiralty, but refused to join the same Premier m 1841, finding that he would not support the Ten Hours Bill. One of the greatest actions of Lord Ashley's public life m the House of Commons was the passage, mainly through his instrumentality, of the Act prohibiting the employment of females m mines. The horrible condition of the women so degraded previous to the measure becoming law almost surpasses belief, but some idea of the scandal is afforded by Justin McCarthy m bi3 History of Our Own Times. He says : — In some of tno coalmines women were literally omployod us beasts of bnrdeu. When a spam of coal waa too narrow to allow thora to stand upright, they hod to crawl back and forward ou all fours for fourteen or sixteen hours a day, dragging the trncka laden with coal?. The tracks were generally fastened to n elmin which passed between tho logs of tho nnfortnnato women, and was then connected with a bolt which was strapped to their naked waists. Their only clothing often consisted of an old pair of trousers mado of sacking, and they wero uncovered from tho waist vp — uncovored, that m to say, save for tho grime and filth that collected and clotted round them. All manner of hideous diseases were generated m these unsexed bodies. Unsexpd literally some of them became, for their chests woro often hard and flat as those of men, and not a few of them lost ail reproductive power — a unppy condition truly under the circumstances, whoro women who bore children only went np to tho higher air for a week during their confinement, and wero then back to their work again. It would bo superfluous to say that tho immorality cngendorod by such a state of things wns m exact keeping with tho other evils which it brought aoout. If Lord Ashley had never done anything else than procuring the removal of this infamous shame and disgrace from the reputation of Englishmen, hiß name would still deserve to be held m grateful and lasting remembrance. However, as everybody who has taken any interest m philanthropic movements at Home knows, there has been no benevolent or charitable undertaking of real standing bub has had m Lord Shaftesbury a warm-hearted, self-deny-ing and liberal supporter. He has been particularly active m endeavoring to better the lot of the lowest classes m London. Long before "slumming" had become a amusement, Lord Shaftesbury had sought out the ragged, hungry and destitute, and while endeavoring to lead them to a higher level morally and spiritually, took care that their bodily wants were | cared for. A scene which could scarcely have ocenrred m any other country, but which has now become historic, was witnessed m London some years ago when a number of costermongers, grateful for the kindness they had experienced from the good old Earl purchased the finest and handsomest donkey they conld find, and presented it to him at a public meeting over which he presided. It was an odd kind of present, but the life of the London costermonger is centred to a large extent round his faithful donkey, if he is wealthy enough to possess one, and doubtless the grateful fellows on this occasion thought there was no gift which ought to make even an Earl feel happier. "When Lord Shaftesbury affectionately placed his arm round the animal's neck, and standing m that position amid the laughter and applause of the audience told them how pleased he was with the present, and what gratification he should derive from seeing his little grandchildren sporting with their new playfellow, they must have felt more than ever assured they had been fortunate indeed m their selection. As for Lord Shaftesbury, we have no doubt that to him that was a prouder moment than when he received the Garter from the hands of his Sovereign. Were the example of his life more generally imitated we should hear little of the outcry that is at present i-aised from time to time against " our old nobility." ♦ It is all right. We need take no further thought for the future. We need not trouble ourselves about the bills that are coming due, or the mortgages which seem to have greased the movements of the heavenly bodies, and cause the quarter days to come round m half the time that they used to take before we knew what mortgages were. Wool is unpleasantly " down," and wheat, although slightly reviving, is not altogether as promising as it might be. Still, we need trouble ourselves about none of these things. They will be all set right and regulated for us, and m a short time we shall be able to sing, " Begone, dull care !" and snap our fingers, metaphorically speaking, at the world. If we are asked our grounds for this elation, we reply by quoting from the LyttcUon Times the following telegram from its Wellington correspondent : — Convoking with Mr Ballance to-day, I asked whether tho Government intended to appoint a Royal Commission to enquiro into tho cause of tho prevailing depression. Ho laughed, and said— " Tho appointment of such a Commission would bo absnrd. Wo know tho causo, and wo intend to do more than a Commission conld do; we intend to romovo tho oause." All that we have to complain of is, why was this important news stowed away, m ordinary type, m a corner of the paper where many people would overlook it P Why was it not set out m largo type, with a head-line like those with which we were favored anent the West Coast Railway, and which used to make us drop the paper whenever we opened it m a paroxysm of fear lest the Queen were dead, or Christchurch burned down, or some other dread calamity had happened ? Can it be that even the Lyttelton Times, that most devoted of Ministerial organs, does not regard this " official utterance " as " infallible P " It is here that we begin to be tormented with doubts. We are afraid that we have heard something of the same kind before. Were we not told, before the present Government took office, that when once the reins were placed m their hands, depression was to be a thing of the past, and we were to bask m the sunshine of an nnparalleled prosperity ? Were we not told ut tho beginning of the present session that the depression had begun to pass away, and was it not proposed to increase our prosperity and happiness by doubling and trebling the taxation on most of the necessaries of life P So our heart sinks again, and we begin to think that people with bills nnd mortgages and other unpleasant things will have to worry a little over them after all. At any rate, they will be wise to go on working out their own salvation, and not to rely upon tho Government until the latter have disclosed tho nature of their patent specific for raising the price of wool and grain, and otherwise improving our material position and prospects.

The Club Hotel. — To suit the convenience of the public, from to-day the Is luncheons at the above Hotel will be from 12 noon sharp to 2.30 p.m. — [Advt.] Borough Council. — An ordinary meetinc; of tho Timaru Borough Council will be held at the Town Hall, George street, at seven o'clock this evening.

Important Sale.— Wo would dr.iw the attention of farmers, horse dealers, and others to Messrs Jonas aid Bourn's announcement of an important sale of lue aud dead stock at Makikihi on Tuesday m our advertising columns this morning.

The Department request us to state that anyone wishing to have their private houses or business premises connected by telephone should give notice at onco while the men are m Timaru fitting up the instruments. Resident Magistrate's Court, Timaru. — J. S. Eeswick, Esq., R.M., presided at Hub Court on Saturday, and fined one person for drunkenness ss, and ordered a second one, charged with a similar offence, to be sent to gaol for forty-eight hours. A prohibition order was issued against James Arthur Shepherd, to bo m force iv tho Levels and Timaru districts. A Fueak or Natuee. — There was born on Mr Jame3 King's farm, near Timaru, on Saturday lost, a lamb, which by a curious freak of nature, had six legs. The forepart of the body was perfect, but the hindquarters were double, there being four legs instead of two. The lamb was stillborn, and was a particularly fino ono barring the malformation. Mr King gave the lamb to Mr Marquis, veterinary surgeon, who we understand is going to set it up, and then present it to the Timaru Museum. Sporting. — Wo publish m another column this morning the nominations for tho Timaru Racing Club's spring meeting, a copy of which was posted at the Club's headquarters on Saturday night.

The weights will be out on October 6th, and acceptances and general entries must reach the Hon. Secretary's hands on or before the 17th October. Dry Weather. — Tho farmers m this district are nearly all crying out about the very dry weather wo have been experiencing lately, and are anxiously wishing that a good downfall of rain may occur ssoothen — the sooner the better. The laud is indeed very parched both m look and reality, and rain would not only be of much service to the farming community but to townspeople as well, many fardens suffering much for the want of it. 'esterday -was very "close," at times extremely warm and summer like, and heavy clouds about betokened rain. Up to a Lite hour last evening, however, none fell. Stale News.— A Press Association telegram from Wellington, informs us that Chief Detective Brown has been promoted to the rank of Inspector of Police. This is very old news, for if tho agent at tho capital city will turn up tho N.Z. Gazelle of March 12th last, ho will there find a notification under the hand of His Excellency the Governor, setting forth that Chief Detective Brown had beon appointed an Inspector of Police his commission bearing date 10th March. Wo are afraid those who happen to live at the " seat of Government" arc, what with the Exhibition and one thing and another, getting just a littlo elevated. Stud Notices. — Mr EobertDavio'sclydesdale entire Luck's Ail will, it is announced, travel m the Timaru, Point, Mount Horrible, nnd surrounding districts this season.

Tho following correspondonro was received : —From Messrs Mnson and Roberts, offering to work the lotalisators ot tho Club's forthcoming meet ings on tho came terms as last yenr. It was carried unanimously that tho offer bo accepted, as the firm named had given great satisfaction m the past. From tho Hon. Secretary of tho City Band offering their services at tho Club's forthcoming races. It was resolved to coll for tenders should a Band be required. From Mr Thickens, Hon. Soo. Timaru Naval Brigade, asking the Club's patronage to tho Navnl's assanlt-at-anns, to be held m the Theatre Royal on Tuesday evening, 20tU October. Tho Hon.

Cook, Secretary of the S.C.J.C., wrote granting tho T.R.C. tho uso of the racocourse on the 27th October for tho sum of £25, also stating that ovory application for the use of the racecourse will have to bo considered on its merits. Tho latter pirt of tho letter created a very animated discussion, tho Committeo objecting to be dictated to by the 5.0.J.0. as to how they should applj for the racocourso. It was resolved to write to the Trustees for particulars — on what terms and conditions thoy havo leased tho reserve to tho S.C.J.C. ; also to be suppliod with a copy of leaso. Several other matters wero brought up for discussion, but were adjourned until next Committeo meeting. After tho usual compliment had been paid to the Ch»irmau, tho meeting terminated.

The Cells. — These places of residence vere quito empty last evening, aud silence ■eiened supreme. Caledonian Society-. — A slight error oc■iirrcd m our report of the gathering of tlio Mackenzie County Caledonian Society. In he Highland Fling and Sword Dance wo ;ave t c awards as follow : — " W. Bain Ist, i. Mackay 2nd." It should have been 'W. Bain Ist, John McArthur 2nd ; A. ilackay and D. McQueen also entered " Sheep m Sonxn Canterbury. — We have :o thank Mr Rees, Inspector for South Canerbury, for a return of the number of sheep n the district on the 31st of May last. From it we learn tho total was 1,781,000, >eiu<j an increase of 74,000 sinco the corresponding date of lnst year. This increase is ho more remarkable when we take into con■■deration the large quantity of stock that has jeen scut out of the district during the past .welve months, both for sale m other parts Df the colony and for shipment Homo. It is i proof that farmers are turning their attention more to pastoral than agricultural pursuits, telieving that the mutton industry is not yet played out. "Whkue are tub Lights?"— Tin's question must have heen asked hundreds of times by persons who had occasion to pass along the Slain street last evening. Tho evening, owing to tho heivy clouds which covered the heavens, was an intensely dark one, and about 8 o'clock when people were returning home after-it is presumed-at-tcndm R church it ra positively dangerous to walk along the footpaths. There was many a collision, but so far as we could learn no accident of any kind, of a serious nature at any rate, happened. This is matter for wonder especially as many persons had to grope their way along. Tho want ef light gave riso to many facetious remarks, which, if the Councillors who voted for the change of lighting had heard, would not have been conducive to their getting a good night's rest. In fact the little jokes on the absence of ligbfc would have no doubt made them "light" sleepers ; for one night at least ; perhaps more should thoy be too " auecopliblo Councillors." Other remarks again weia hard ; possibly rude. For instance we heard one old resident— they know so much, you know ! — (pro his positive opinion that on a windy night the streets would bo as dark as they were last night ; that the wind would extinguish tho keroseue lamps, and they would be just as much good then with their " heads " as without that useful adjunct now — neither use nor ornament. However, be this so or not, one thing is quito evident, the lamps should be put m good working order at once, and be lit without fail this a -ening. Temperance Mibsion. — Mr Burnett gave a temperance lecture on Thursday evening m the schoolroom at St. Andrews. He met with a very kind and cordial reception, the room being well filled, though a marked scarcity of ladies was apparent. The Bey. John Foster, of Timaru, occupied the chair. The meeting was opened by the singing of a hymn, which was rendered with much spirit, after which a portion of scripture was read by the Rev. J. Foster, who then engaged m prayer. After another hymn had been heartily Bung, the Chairman addressed the meeting. It was the first time ho eaid that he had had the honor and pleasure of speaking to the pnblic of St. Andrews, and ho most sincerely hoped that it might not be tho list. He went on to introduce the lecturer, Mr Burnett, and spoke m the most glowing terms of that gentleman's enthusiasm and undying carnestuess m the cause of temperance He felt sure that Mr Burnett would have no difficulty m convincing his audience of the importance of total abstinence, and of tho great benefit derived from it morally, mentally and physically. He regretted that Mr Burnett |was suffering from indispoiiition of the throat, hut hoped that as he warmed to his subject he would experience no inconvenience from it. At the close of his address Mr Foster was greeted with the warmest applause. Mr Burnett then rose and tlianked the Chairman for his kind and generous remarks, aDd after expressing his pleasure at seeing so good a gathering at that the first temperance meeting m St. Andrews, gave a most interesting and animated address. He was listened to throughout with the greatest attention, the audience entering into and sympathising with him m his graphic description of " Pictures from Btal Life." Ho affectionately invited them to come forward at the close of tho meeting and " don the blue," thirty-threo responding. A very hearty vote of thauks having been passed to tho lecturer, and also to tho Chairman, the meeting was brought to a closo. The German Naty. — The latest official list of officers of the German navy shows an enormous increaso as compared with tho state of things ten years ago. The number of officers m active service is now more than thrice as many as m 1873, when the plan for the formation of the navy was settled. The German Admiralty now shows two viceadmirals, Bix rear-admirals, 20 captains, 52 corvette captains, 102 first lieutenants, 160 second lieutenants, 86 sub-lieutenants, and 113 midshipraon. The number of war vessels is 102, with 570 guns. They include seven ironclad frigates and five ironclad corvettes, and the whole are manned and defended by 17,000 sailors, engineers, and marines. Sixteen of tho German war ships, with 141 guns and 3000 men, are m foreign waters. Tns Wimblbdon Meeting. — Wimbledon, this year (says an English paper), looks gayer than ever. The gorse and the heather make the long green reaches of ground near the camp bright with a thousand lints, and Glen Albyn, above which floats " the rudy lion ramped m gold" of tho London Scottish, ia sweet with dog-rose and honeysuckle potals. Hardly as much picnicking, however, seems to be the order of tho day as of yore, and the presenco of fair visitors m the camp has been distinctly less this year. The first seven days of the meeting, however, is always given to hard work. During the present week the ladies will bo Been m greater numbers plucking the ling's lavender-tinted petals or making up button-hole bouquets for their martial brothers and cousins with delicate forn sprays and the softly-tinted bells of tho cross-leaved heath. Coalpields of Tns World.— There are no less than 900 square miles of coil beds m Belgium. lance has 1000, Germany 3000, Great Britain ten times as many as little Belgium, India /ivo times, and North America and China each twenty times as many as the United Kingdom, which at present furnishes no less than 163,000,000 tons n year. There are but six principal countries m tho world whioh supply our 10,000 ocean steamers, our 110,000 locomotives, and somo 200,' XX) fixed steam ongines with their indispensable food, and these devour of it no less than 1,000,000 tons a day. Of llio prodigious quantity of fuel -380,000,000 tons a year -Europe alono produces 285,000,000, tho United Slates nearly 00,000,000, and tho comparatively insignificant remainder falls to tho Bhare of Asia and Australia. Groat Britain exports about 20,000,000 toD» of her production of 163,000,000 tons ; Germany exports 10,000,000 tons of her 70,000,000 tonsBolgium exports 5,000,000 tone of her 18,000,f 00 tons. Austria about suffices herself with a production of 16,000,000 tons ; France, howover, has to import dome 2Sffitt:. toherprodHoiiono£about Tub Towsr op London.— The rifle 3 m tlio armory are to remain as one of tho sight* of the tower of London, but the whole of the large store of arms which have been kept at the Tower will bo removed to Weedon, the central depot of England, thus fulfilling the wish of tho Prince Consort, who desired to havo tho Tower preserved purely as an ancient monument, regarding it as the oldest and most perfect exauiplo of tho Norman m existence Just boforo his death tho Prince was m communication with the authorities of the War Department, with a view to the removal of tho barraok and hospital stores the accoutrements and arms, which employed at the Tower more than a thousand examiners and workmen, and depriving the establishment entirely of tho utilitarian features, which exposed it to extra risks, and a certain amount of wear and tear which it was possible to avoid. In 1869 tho barrack and Hospital stores were removed to Woolwich Arscnel, together with most of tho workpeople, and a few years afterwards the accoutrements followed, leaving loss than a hundred men ot tho Tower to attend to tho arms. Thoso will vow ho taken to Weodon, and tho Tower of London will remain only m use as a residence for tho eiu»U garrison plotted, to it. °

Thb Sweets of Office.— Truth remarks that it is not a bad thing to bo a relation of Lord Salisbury's when Lord Salisbury is m power. His nephew, Mr A. J. Bulfour, is President of the Local Government Board ; and his brother-in-law, Mr Alderaon, an undistinguished school inspector, has been made Second Charity Commissioner with £15^0 a year. Tefc his lordship's colleagues " asked questions" when Mr Herbert Gladstone ■was made a Lord of the Treasury without pay. Jews rs BrssrA.— The first step towards the emancipation of the Jews m Russia has beon proposed by a- special commission now Bitting, which has adopted a project for authorising the Jews to settle m thoso parts of tho country where hitherto they have not been permitted to reside. The restrictions they will be subject to are the following : — Firstly, they will not be allowed to contract any kind of business with tho state ; secondly, they will be strictly forbidden to manufacture or trade m spirituous liquors ; thirdly, they ■will not be permitted to carry on or participate m monetary transactions. Tub Dbfkxcbs of Tladivostock.— A correspondent of the Russian paper Kavk-ax, ■writing from Vladivostock, says :-" Torpedoes hare bcon laid wherever required, batteries have been repaired and new ones raised on all the exposed points. Now we aro ready for the crafty son of Albion. Now wo are m a position to receive him. Welcoma shall he be whom God may send to us. I regret to say that tho worry and bother of theso preparations for the reception of the crafty foe have not been without result on the health of our popular commander. His constant daily inspections of the progress of the- works, made m all weathers, have borne their fruit m tho shape of a violent fever. The preparations have, however, been by no means relaxed. Barracks, too, for the civilian population have been erected m safe positions m rear of the town. Within the last few days Baron Rorff, the military governor of the Priimursk province, has arrived here ; and Admiral Kroun has sailed with his squadron under sealed orders."
