NEW YORK LETTER.

The first "opening" of the season
was gwen last week, by John N.
Stearns < Co., manufacturers of the
best grades of American silks, TO mer-
chants of leading cities everywhere.
The new styles for the approaching
season consist Of the most extensive
and elegant assortment of brocades,
Orientals, surahs and fancy silks
ever placed on this market. The
beauty in patterns and quality of
these goods was admitted by all
present to be superb, surprising those
of foreign make at double the price.
The newest design in brocades is
the bigonia leaf pattern, which is
most effectively arranged in all coors
in lovely qualities. The evening
tints in this make of silks cannot be
surpassed, if equaled, by goods from
any quarter of the globe. The col.
ors are soft, clear and mellow; the
shading exquisite, and in the iaven.
der tones some new and rare tints
oAS SiNSh. hOol VI TIC DIOCdQcu
patterns have plain goods to match
for combination, and one piece to be
remembered was delicate pink with
blue shading. The blending Of
these colors is extremely artistic, and
nothing could enhance the beauty of
a blonde complexion more than a
dress of this lovely fabric. White
brocadeS and surahs for evening and
bridal dresses are superb and prices
much lower than the imported fab
RIGS. A very important item for
ladies to keep in mind when buying
these goods is that they will out
wear two dresses of any other class
OF silks, no matter Of what brand.
Surahs have become a very popu-
lar silk, and all ladies like them.
They are rich and soft, blend them
selves to the form in the most grace
ful manner, rounding in and out the
curves of the waist as perfectly as if
moulded TO the figure. They make
charming dresses of themselves, and
combine in good taste with brocade;
the qualities have been improved up
on for the past few seasons until now
they seem in state of perfection.

Examiners,
DEAR SIR: You ask; "Does not
the law apply to all pupils including
those of the lower grades of common
and graded schools and the pupils OF
our ungraded shools?" Answer: Yes.
The law says, "provision shall be
made for lnstructing all pupils in
every school in physiology" etc.
The kind Of instruction given in
Geography, Grammar, and many
other branches of education. To
pupils in the extreme primary studies
who cannot read or who are not. far
enough advanced to use such a book
as may be introduced, daily, not
merely occasional" oral instruc-
ton may be given. The Attorney
General says: can occasional talk on
these subjects by teacher would
not be compliance with the law
The law requires the use of text
books and the giving of instruction
should be Of such nature as 10 give
to every scholar a general knowl-
edge Of these subjects, and they
should be taught with the same
thoroughness as required of other
studies" II. r. GAss,
The above letter from the Supt. ol
Public Instruction explanatory to
Chapter III, Sec. IS, OF the school law
Of Michigan, relative to instruction
in physiology, contains information
OF Importance to all teachers and
school officers and patrons. 1t is
hoped that this subject will receive
the attention of all connected with
the schools of the county. 1t be
comes the duty of every School
Board to adopt some text book for use
in the school of their respective dis.
trict, which has been approved by the
State Board of Health and the State
Board of Education. The following
list of text books on Physiology and
Hygiene was approved for use in
the public schools of the state in ac.
cordance with the provisions of Act
No. 90, session laws of 1883: Hutch

COMMUNICATION.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The recent action
of Mayor Estey should be, and
doubtless is satisfactory to the law
loving citizens. Regardless of per-
sonal views on the temperance ques-
ton, to ask obedience TO the law, is
not only the right but the duty of all.
To encourage the Mayor in his de-
termination to enforce his "procla-
nation is just what every law abid-
ing citizen will do.
Charity may find mitigating cir
cumstances in the misdeeds of any
and plead mercy for a culprit; but
nothing but treason to citizenship
will defend lawlessnes. 1t is an ex-
cellent time for people who talk tenn
perance in general to show the May
or they are with him. He is human
very much so if critics are to de-
cide-a word of recognition in view
of his manly course may be of more
worth now, than a yard of TRADE on
"unfaithful officials" by and by. To
the Mayor and Council, and the
City Marshall, we voice the senti-
ment of the law loving in the lowly
and exalted walks Of life when we
say "well done,' keep at it.

FEARFUL HURRICANE AT
RAR0T0MGA,

(Capt. Bmr) arrived IN mar
Dor on the 22nd January |
from Rarotonga, and is the
bearer of disastrous news
from that locality. Captain
Burr states that Just before
his departure from Rarotonga,
Il terrible hurricane swept
over the island, inflicting Il
fearful amount of damage
upon property, and involving
the loss of many lives.
Several vessels were driven
ashore by the force of the
gale, and in most cases were
totally lost. Two Auckland
schooners the Agnes Bell and
the Makea Ariki were among
the vessels which suffered
disaster. Both were driven
ashore, and were soon totally
wrecked by the force of the
waves. More deplorable still:
Captain Mum, of the Agnes
Bell, Captain Ayers, of the
Makea Ariki, with Messrs
Anderson, Stanley Heather,
and a native. were drowned.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The loss of three fine
Auckland vessels, along with
the lives of several persons,
will be long remembered as
one Of the saddest casualties
that ever happened in connec-
ton with the shipping of our
port. On the morning of
December 18th, the schooners
Agnes Bell, Makea Ariki,
and Atlantic were lying at
anchor in Rarotonga harbor,
when, there being every in
dication of an approaching
storm, every precaution was
taken to make each of the
vessels as secure as possible.
The weather. which had bpen
moderately fine during the
day, changed during the even
ing, and about 10 pm. a
regular gale was blowing,
An hour later a terrific hurri-
cane came on, and before
midnight all of the vessels
were adrift. The schooner
Atlantic, in command ofCap-
tain Schultz. was beached.
and the master and crew sue.
ceeded in reaching shore,
although with great difficulty.
The Agnes Bell and Makea
Ariki were driven against the
reef, and the seas washed
clean over their decks. The
vessels soon began to break
up. and there was great
dangerof those on board being
lost. Boats were put off from
the shore, but owing to the
terrible surf washing in, they
were unable to reach the UNI
fortunate vessels. At one
O'Clock on the morning of
December Is, the Makea
Ariki suddenly disappeared.
Captain Ayres master of the
vesseD, John Montgomery
(mate), Patrick Duncan
(cook and steward), Mr..
Stanley Heather, brother of
Mr.. A. Heather of Auckland,
succeeded in getting on board
Of the Agnes Bell, which
still held together. An hour
later the Agnes Bell was dis
masted, and those on board
gave evidence of their perilous
position by constantly signall-
ing for assistance, which UNI
fortunately could not be rem
dered, Suddenly, about $50
am, the schooner broke in
two amidship, and soon be-
came a complete wreck. 1t
was concluded that all on
board had persisted, but in a
few moments IA man was OBJ
served coming ashore on a

Ayres, master Of the schooner
Mallea Aril1i; John Mont
gomery, mate of the same
vessel Patrick Duncan, cook
and steward of the same Mr..
Stanley Heather, of Auck-
land, and a Kanaka. The
hurricane continued undated
until the morning of the 10Th,
when fine weather set in.
The wreckage from the
schooner Agnes Bell and
Makea Ariki, and their car
goes, were found strewed
along the shore, while the
Atlantic was observed high
and dry on the beach, with
the tide washing clean through
her, That day the wrecks
were sold by auction. The
remains of the Makea Ariki
and Agnes Bell realised 65
dollars, while the Atlantic
brought 25 dollars. On
Thursday morning the body
of Captain Mann was washed
ashore, and was buried in the
churchyard, the funeral being
attended by a large number
of European residents. The
three schooners, which were
owned by Messrs Donald and
Marlborough, of Auckland,
were insured as follows =
Agnes Bell, in the New Zea-
land, for $4,000, 9f which
amount $500 was re-insured
in the Mutual, $500 in the
South British, and $500 in
the Union. The cargo was
also insured for $500 in
the United. The Makea
Ariki was insured in the New
Zealand for 81, 900, her out
ward cargo for $500, and an
open policy of 81 200 on her
return cargo also, was held
by the same office. The
Atlantic was also insured in
the New Zealand Office for
$500, of which amount 5000
was re-insrUed in the South
British, Her cargo was in
sured for 5000 in the New
Zealand, which has a REIN
surance with the Colonial for
one-third of the amount.
This makes a total insurance
