The Timaru Herald. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1886.

Sin Julius Vogel's reply to inquiries by the Duuedin Chamber of Commerce aa to the stato of tlio revenue was as cheerful as he could possibly make it out of the facts and figures at his command. He ia naturally of a sanguine disposition ; besides which it is rarely to the interest of a Minister m such circumstances to paint the picture m .darker, colours thnn is absolutely necessary. Sufficient unto tlio day is the evil thereof, and even if the Colonial Treasurerentertained more gloomy forebodings than he owns to, he would not be likely to take the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce or any other inquiring body into hia confidence. There is, moreover, a possibility that, though he was over-sanguine with regard to. the revenue of the first six months of the year, he may not now be over-estimating what will come into the Treasury during the second six months/ Judging by appearances we are inclined to think that he is still too sanguine, but, as we say, there is certainly the possibility of a closer approximation to results than has hitherto been the case. In the Financial Statement last session Sir Julius Yogel said : — " Judging from the first month's returns, and from the continued operation of the chief causes

that tend to reduco fclie Customs receipts, I do not fed myself justified m eßtiinatiiig bo largo a Customs revenue as thnfc of last year by about £5000. If there had been no exceptional causes to keep down the Customs revenue it should, by natural increascH during the last' few years, yield considerably more than £1,500,000 per annum ; whereas I am unable to estiinafo it at more than £1,410,000 for the current year. Tho prevailing depression and lessened scale of cxpendituro have undoubtedly something to do with tho reduction. But there are other patent causes at work, m the less uro of alcoholic drink, and the fall m the value of the goods on which ad valorem duties are levied. " In Sir Julius Vogel's reply to the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce ho says : — " I think the reduced Customs duties are largely due to less expenditure on spirits and the lower entry value of goods subject to ad valorem duties." That is to f-ay, the same causes which led tlio Treasurer to make a lower estimate thnu he otherwise would have done are m operation still, but to a far greater extent than he anticipated m May last when he delivered the Financial Statement. This is how the case stands : For 1885-G the Customs revenue was estimated at £1,430,000, and actually yielded £1,414,825. The present year's estimate was obtained by deducting £-1525 from the latter amount, thus leaving £1,410,000 as set down m the Financial Statement. It is, we think, tolerably clear that the reduction was not a scientific one, but was arrived at by the rule of thumb. Sir Julius Yogel could not but observe that the revenue was slipping from him, and ho felt compelled to make some allowance, but his sanguine temperament would not permit him to go further than that odd littlo sum of £4525 on the whole year's transactions. Only six rnontiis out of the twelve have gone by, and he already finds himself face to face with a deficit of £57,000 on his reduced estimate. The rather startling fact does not appear to cause him much uneasiness, for, after supplying the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce with the figures, ho adds m quite an airy cheerful manner — " Ido not anticipate much, if any larger deficiency of Customs revenue during the remaining six months." If the Colonial Treasurer's message to the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce was correctly rendered m the newspapers, his words may, perhaps, bo made to bear an alternative interpretation. Ho may mean that ho expects that, at the end of the financial year the total Customs deficit will bo little if any more than tho £57,000 which is already wanting ; or he may mean that, m his opinion, the rate of the Customs deficit will not be greater during tho second half of the year than it was during tho first half, or, m other words, that tho total doficit on tho financial year's Customs transactions will not'oxceed £114,000. But it seems impossible that the Colonial Treasurer can look for any great recovery during the second half of tho year, and wo therefore suppose that ho expects a total Customs deficiency amounting io about the sum wo have last mentioned. It is an enormous falling off. and, judging by the slate of trado and by other indication* throughout the country, we aro inclined to think that the result will prove wors>.- than the Colonial Treasurer's anticipation. After such a terrible misinterpretation of the signs of the times at tho beginning of the year, it i» clear that much reliance cannot bo placed on his ostitnate for the remaining six months. But although tho fact of tho enormous deficiency does not say much for his sagacity, Sir Julius Yogel contends that if ho had given notice of tho Budget m tho usual manner, instead of springing it suddenly on tho House and tho country, the figures would havo been far more encouraging. He says : — " I pared the commercial community from taking out of bond large quantities of goods as they usually do before the Financial Statement is mado. Had there been the usual rush to pay duties, tho deficiency at tho end of the half year would haro been much less." It is difficult to understand why thoso words were inserted m tho reply to the Dunedin Chambor of Commerce unless for the purpose of throwing dust m tho eyes of those who were seeking for information. It is of course probable that, if the Financial Statement had not been delivered so unexpectedly, large quanr tities of goods would, ns Sir Julius Yogel says, havo been taken out of bond, with the result that the Customs receipts for the first six months of the year would havo been increased. But clearly the operation would havo had no effect on the total amount of the year's revenue. The consumption of dutiable goods by tho community would not have been increased. "What would have been gained m the first half year would have been lost m the second, and the amount of the deficit on the 3lst March, 1887, would have remained unaltered. The reasons assigned by the Colonial Treasurer for the falling off m the revenue are the correct ones, namely, lessened conBuruption of spirits, and the lower entry-value of goods subject to ad valorem duties. The published Customs returns fell that story, nnd there is no need of special information on tho subject from other sources. "Why there is that lessened consumption of spirits is another and more difficult, question. The success of the Temperance organisations is a contributing and highly satisfactory cause ; but it does not account for the entire falling off. The lessoned spending power of the community has also to be taken note of. Which has contributed most to briug about the deficit is more than we can say. The train arrangements m connection with tho Ashburtou Agricultural Show, on tho 29tb, will be found advertised m another column. The ordinary quarterly meeting of the members o£ the South Canterbury Teachers' Institute will bo held at the Main School tomorrow morning. It is a circumstance worthy of notice that the performance of the " Lights o 1 London," which will be given by tho MacHahon-Leitoh Company m Timaru next Friday, will bo exactly the thousmdth representation m tho colonies. Timarn, however, is tho only town of import nice m which it has never yet been j performed m this hemisphere.

Conveyances will lcavo Messrs Orncie, Maclean and Adam's horso bazaar at eleven o'clock this morning for Mr .JlcGuinness's clearing eale at Scaview. . ; ; . Messrs Delaney Bros. hair* nearly 'completed their contract for decking, tbp Moody wharf. -They linve done their work well and expeditionsly, and m?, a few dnys should receive their final certificate from lie Mar ; chant, the Harbor Board's Engineer. The bridge to the b itlis, with the exception of receiving a coat of pnint, is completed, and is found to be most convenient. 'J ho approach when finished promises to be good, and the footway down the cliff, enopt m very rrct weather, should be very handy. Advertisers and intending Jiidvertisors will notice that m this isauo tho "Show column" advertisements appear on our fourth page, this being the first morning of their appearance. AH Show advertisements come under the heading named, and will thus attract special attention. An error occurred m tho advertisement seti mc forth the train arrangements for the races next week,' as published b_i us yesterday morning. One trnin only was timed ,ns running whereas really two are to run as follows: — 1 cave Timnru.on tho 2-ith and 2 th inbt. for tho racecourse platform at 12 10 p m.und 1.10 p m. j leave racecourse platform for town at 4.40 p.m. and 5.30 p.m. The saltwater baths were open to the public yesterday for the first time this seaion. Ihe j bath itself is m first-clnss ordo-, and the' fences, etc., having been thoroughly repaired, tho whole thing is just as good as the day it left the contractors' hands. As the weather was rather unpleasant yesterday, but few people had a dip. However, as the weather gels warmer, the bath is sure to be ngain well patronised. The railway people hare already made a start with the approach to the whnrf. A good deal of excavation is found to be necessary, and the cliff immediately at the foot of the wharf is being cut away a great deal. In cutting down opposite the landing service en-gine-«hed tho well and largo tank which for many yeara huro supplied the Berries with water wero cut into, and will, it ia said, have to be filled up. We have to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of the seventeenth volume of the Proceedings of the Boyal Colonial Institute, 1885-6, edited by tho Secretary. Some of the papers contained m the volumo are of more than ordinary interest, and we may specially mention Sir George Boweu's paper on "The Federation of the Hritish Empire," and Mr Todd's on " Telegraphic Enterprise m Australasia." Two women from the country districts were brought up before His Worship the Mayor and J. H. Gutter, Esq., J.P., nt the Besident Magistrate's Court, yesterday aftcrnooni charged with lunacy. One was Bridget Eurl, from ICakahu, and the other was Esther Fawdrey, from Temuka. Drs MacTntyre, Ilogg, nnd Fish gore certificates that tho women were of unsound mmd, and they were committed to tho Suanysido Asylum, Both women wero tent North by tho up-Express train yesterday afternoon. At the Resident M'igiifrafc's four', Geraldine, on Wednesday, before Meßsrsß. H. Pearpoint, and 11. W, Moore, E?q , J.P.s, Henry Edward Currie, o lad about 14 yean of ngo, was charged with the larcenj of an Indian Mul my war medal, from the premises of Mr George Fox at Gcrtldine. The accused pleaded guilty, and was remanded for 48 hour», to be then brought up for sentonco, to enable the police to recoivo replies to enquiries being mado m regard to the lad's antecedents. The ordinary meeting of the Temuka District High School waa held on Tuesday lnst. f~ resent— Mr Job Brown (chairman), Messrs Birth, Coop'r, and Miles. The minutes of last meeting wero read and confirmed. Correspondence— Outward, nil. Inward — From Board of Education a circular re District High School Regulations. From the head master, letter including monthly report as follows : —Strict overage, boyi, 131.8; girls, 105.6; total, 237.4. Working average, boys, 135.9; girls, 109 4; total, 245.4. Highest attendance, boys, 147 ; girls, 123 ; total, 270. He reported that some brick-tile ventilators required beiDg replaced. Re prize fund concert it was proposed by Mr Cooper, soconded by'Mr Miles, and carried — " That the annual prize fund concert bo held on Tuesday, 14th December, and that the prizes be then given out to the successful pupils. An account for 3s 6d was passed for payment. Mr Bljth was appointed Visitor for the ensuing month. A vote of thanks to tho chairman terminated the proceedings. A dying man at Jersey confessed to the murder of a farmer's wifo m 1874, for which crime the brother of the murdered woman wai executed, and died protesting his innocence. An anonymous donor, who had stipulated that his identity was not to be made known, recently paid into tho Bank of England tho sum of £14,980 m New South Wales bonds towards the funds for erecting a new parish church for Porteoa. Tho interest on the above sum up to the Ist of July was £280, so that the anonymous contribution amounted to £15,260. The report on the operation of the first offenders' probation system m Maesachuasots shows that out of 2501 cases, ranging through the calendar of crime from drunkenness to embezzlement, that were thus treated only 267 were lost, and all tho remainder improved That means that only 10 per cent were found to be incorrigible and permanent peßts of society. A correspondent suggests to a Home paper that a 50s gold coin should be issued to commemorate the Qneen's jubileo. It would have many advantages : — l. The number of shillings would mark the fifty years, or jubilee. 2. Naming it." Victoria" would for ever mark the preat event. 3. It would (aa the half of a £5 note) bo a rcry convenient current coin of the realm. 4. It would be likely to be very popular as an ornament for ladies, who will certainly require a something very marked to wear m honour of tho Queen. The Queen has sent Mr Och's magnificent diamond, -which has been out down, to 180 carats, and stands pre eminent as the largest brilliant on record. A clevage from the original was reduced to 19 carats, and Bold for 100,000f. It took one workman at Amsterdam, a year to Jreduce the original to its present state of perfection ; but there Becms little prospect of its being exhibited on account of tho difficulty of safeguarding it. A correspondent m China Btates that the Chinese Government is reducing as much as possible the number of white seamen m the navy. Twenty-four Germans who had long been m tho Chinese naval service are returning home, but German physicians and engineers remain. There is now one Gorman officer m the Chinese navy, and he has lately been appointed jQrdt officer of the flagship of Admiral Tin|j.

After a lengUiv discussion, it was postponed to a epecial meeting. It was agreed to telegraph to Sir Julius Yogel asking if there was any probability of tho overland route being shortened m time. The resolution passed by the Melbourno I'hnmber of Commerce relative to the French occupation of the New Hebrides was considered, and a molion was carried endorsing the action of the Melbourne Chamber. A letter from the Woolgrowera' Association, Christchurch, asking tbo assistance of tho Chamber m remission of Custom duties on certain American productions m return for the admission of Australian wools to America free, was referred to tho committee A contemporary says that m a bankrupt csliito the other day, by a printer's error, the mcf cling was called for a certain date, " 2SBG." Among the creditors was a Wanganui firm, oue of the members of which is not unknown m connection with firo brigade matters, and the fo lowing reply lias been rsceired : — " We have your intimation by P.O. of tho bankruptcy of ,of your city. It was not unexpected. As the meeting is called for the 27th September, 2886, it ib quite improbable j we will notbe represented — atany rate m the flesh. Should oil Gabriel have tooled his trumpet 'tween this and then, possibly we may meet \'r. , when wo can promise him a lively time. We enclose, m case they may be useful, accourt and proof of debt. Any surplus out of tho cstato this side the grave we will be thankful for ; from our past experienco of our friend we don't expect any. With kind regards from the writer, &c." A Dnno J in firm bos shown the Otago Daily Times specimens of the "Chameleon " weather pictures which they have received from Germany, where they haro proved a phenomenal success. These pictures aro prepared m specially smsitivo colours on glass, so that they indicate tho change of the weather rapidly by changing colour. When the picture is pink or yellow rain or change may be expected j when blua and green fine weather. Tlio importers have shown us a letter from Cuptain Kdwin, who states that he has watched the working of the pictures and finds lhat thoy act admirably, the ohangeß of colour taking place, very quickly, and the information they convey proving very reliable and being readily understood after a little study. They require no preparation of any kind, and can be used immediately thoy aro purchased Wo may udd that we can confirm Captain Edwin's recommendation. On the 27th of Juy a party of engineers and workmen had an excellent opportunity of observing the way m which a thundercloud discharges its electricity. They had _ just completed the fitting of v lightning conductor at the shelter hut on tho Mythen, m Schwyz. A heavy storm was seen approaching from three different points, and they took refugo m tlio hut. Through a hole m tho wall they could see tho conductor. From time to timo small bluieb flames appeared hovering on it ; then the lightning (lush would be seen descending along tho conductor into the earth, followed almost instantaneously by the thunder crash. More than twenty times they watched tho phenomena regularly succeeding each other ; tit n there was an electrical discharge of such violence that there seemed to bo a recoil, and two of the party fe'.t the shock from below up to their bipß and one fancied that both hia legs wero shot off. The party wcro co terrified that they quitted the hut, an t descended the mountain amid blinding snow, as thick ns if it wero the middle of winter, Varied by thunder and lightning. A minister of a place of worship m the East End of London adopted a curious and quaint way of advertising himself and the wants of his church. He boldly sandwiched himself, and waving handbills m one hand and an offertory box m tho other, started on a pilgrimage through tho streets of London. Tho peripatetic bourds informed every passerby til at their bearer was 11 minister and that ho aimed at collecting £1200. "Who will give a sovereign, R shilling, or a penny ?" was the pathetic, anxious question of this walking advertisement. Wnrned off London Bridge station, he " plodded" across the river and m the direction of Fleet street, but the city police were too Tigilant, and he was turned back. Crossing LondoH bridge he received his first contribution— a sixpence. A gorgeous official who turned him out of Green Park damped the minister's ardour, for ho was content to return home by train after passing through Belgravia. lie collected 2s 6d, which (says a Homo paper) is just 30 pence more than he deserved to get for making his coiling ridiculous. A peculiar case was recently heard m an Irish Court, when a married woman charged her husband with assault. Tbo complainant said that on the day mentioned m the information her husband insisted on her leaving the house, but she refused. He called her " big feet," and threatened her. When she refused to go out he said to her that if she did not go out be must leave himßelf, but what ho proposed was that they should play a game of cards as to which was to get stopping on m the house. She won tho game, but, notwithstanding, he refused to go, and then put her out. She sought now to obtain maintenance from him. Tlio Magistrates advised the parties to go and live more amicably m future, but this the woman refused to doj stating that she could get no peace, for when hor husband wns bound over not to strike her, ho butted her with his head. The court fined the defendant 10s and costs for the assault, and cautioned him against allowing his wife to become a charge on tho rates. An interesting experiment m England recently (says a Home paper) goes to show that there is plenty of room still for improvement m our transport and commissariat arrangements. A flying column of horse, artillery, and infantry, some 600 strong, organised upon an actual war footing, left Aldersliot for a five days' inarch, on purposo to test the regulation equipment. The first day's march was: accomplished satisfactorily. But military : critics are already beginning to point out dangerous faults m our organisation from this brief experience. In the first place, judging from the Aldorshot column, which took with it a train of thirty-four wagonp, tbo necessary transport on this scale for an army corps would seriously strain our resouroes.. Moreover, it would be nearly onethird larger than tho transport taken by G-crv man troops, which may be regarded as a pattern for mobility. Again, much complaint is made with the goneral service wagons. They are stated to bo too heavy for campaigning purposes, while the tires of the wheels are so narrow ns to cut deep furrows. It i«, indeed, not satisfactory to learn that our wagons to be used m artunl warfare nre only practicable for metalled roads. On the whole, the Aldersbot experiment is likely to open the eyes of the authorities. Rbmbmbbr*Thi3. — If you are sick Hop Bitters will surely aid Nature m making you well when all else fails.

In tbe year 1813 a man named Williams, after murdering two whole families m East London, committed suicide to eseipa elocution, and was buried at the junction of the crossingß m Cannon 6trcet road. During some excavations just made here the skeleton of Williams was discovered, impaled on a stake, as was the custom of the time m the case of murderers and suicides. It would appear says tho Evening Fres that, m spito of tho many newspaper para graphs tending to expose tho more than buspicion as to the bona fide character of the investment, circulars inviting tho unwary to lako tickets m " the Sydney Jockey Turf Club's Annual Melbourne Cup Consultation, arc etill bring used throughout tho post.

The Hamilton correspondent of tho A'cio Zealand Herald gives a lively description of the alligator chasing the two sons of a Mr Castleton, as mentioned m our Auckland telegrams. " The creek where the reptile was eeen, is about 150 yards from Mr Castleton's house. The boyß— one of whom is fourteen and the other twelve— are intelligent lads, and tell their story with every appearance of truthfulness. Tho elder, who first saw the creature, noticing the commotion m the water of the oreek, thought it was caused by a large eel, whicli had been there before, until tlio beast put its head out of the water, -when its enormous jaws and teeth caused him to run, and none too soon. Both boys adhere to the description given on Tuesday as to the -width of the body, and its being covered with light brown scales the same as a schnopper, onlr that the scales seemed to be each as big as a penny." A few months ago Mr Joseph Renall reported to the Maßterton papers that he had captured a similar kind of reptile near his farm at Gladstone, that he had chained it up, and that it had made its escape ono day he was absent from home. It required a grain of salt to swallow the story. The Lancet states "that hard-working minds and fatigued bodies are the better of Borne gentle Btimulant that forces into activity the nerves, and which ministers to animal life and comfort.
