OUR CEMETERIES.Tni: removal of our public cemeteries toafurthei distance from Auckland is a subjectwhich has often been inoo'edby the localjournals with considerable force; but theslow progiess made in the openingof jaihvayccinniunicatiou to any appreciabledis^inceh.is militated strongly against any de isivecourse being adopted so far. A writer intho Scieiitijtc American, however, puts an-other phase ou the oft-alerted necessity forha\ing public burial grounds located at longdibtances from the centreof population. Itis uig.il that instead of deserting tho oldestablishedplace forbodipnew semetei), thespot should be made for ever hallo ved.11Let our cemeteries lemain, while poimit-t\ng Nature, uutiainme'led or assist «d byir<.'an3 which she herself teaches, to disposeof the bodies. This isnot an empty Mi^t-3tiou. Chemistry pointsout to ua what mustttku place, aud suggests a variety of sub-stances nnd means for acforapHshmsr thedesired result. The stoutest graniteexposedto the action of air and lain eventuallycrumbles into sand;aud for most rocks, afew yearssuffices. Great beds of limestonemay bo dissolved by the action of aurfacewaters percolating through the giound.Cannot similar agencies dispose of the fewpounds, mostly of carbonate of lime, makingup tho animal skeleton?

Tite present condition of France is atonce very interesting to mere observers,and very critical for those mosL imme-diately concerned in the stability of itsGovernment. Many of our readers,itmay bo, have given up the attempt tofollow the changes of Ministry, and thefluctuations of party whichhave formedthe staple of our French news for thelast twelvemonths. A.nd no doubt it re-quires much patience to follow theminany intelligent manner. The minutedistinctions between the principles ofone Ministry and that which succeeds itare such as almost to elude thecompre-hensions of any foreigner not resident inthat country. The ebbing ana flow ing ofthe tide of political feeling now in favorof the Bourbons, now of tlio Orleansfamily, and ngain towards the Imperialdynasty, presents features which are in-distinct and vague to the Knglish mindFienclipolitics and politicalpaities areat all tunes difficult to understand, be-causo with them politics are sentimentsrather than principles, and. moreover,like most matters of mero sentimentsubject tovery rapid and unaccountablechanges. The humiliation and dcslruction cuiRPcl in Franceby tho war in 1S7Omost naturally produced an intensefei line- agiinst thoImperial House, w ithwhich the people associatedcommercialruin and military degradation. Jn anyother country this wouldprobablyhaveput an end to the hopoof restoration forthat particular family to power fur atleaf,!; one generation. This ia by nomeans tho case in Prance. .Nothingcouldbe more intense than the hatredofthe populace who had felt thopinch ofhunger nothing more bitter than themaledictions of the bourgeoisie,who hadbeenbrought almost to ruinby the war:nothing much less placable than thocomplaintsof themilitary,whose pre&tigewas ruinedby causes beyond thocontrolof their own bravery. But, like mostvery hot and wild ebullitionsot feeling,this sort of thing seems to have burntitself out very quickly. A littleexperience of the stern hand ota Republican Government in aveng-ing the outrages of tho Communehas gone far to reconvert thomasses tofavour the Imperial house, which cer-tainly secured more prosperity for theirchiss than any other Government busdone Theunsettledstaleofparliesand theconsequent uncertainty about politics,lias almost tired the commercial classesinto welcomingagain the stagnantpoli-tical quiet which characterised theImperialAdministration during most ofits existence And a great variety ofcauses render the military part of thenation always more disposed to favouran Kmperor, and especiallyanKmperorof the J louse ofBounaparte, rather thanany other possible Government inFrance.

The letter from our Paris correspon'dent, which we published yesterday,'illustratesin. asingular manner the posi-

Tho Marriage with Deceased Wife'sSister billhas passed the Hcuse of Re-presentativesby a fair majority in spiteof aatrong opposition. It is of courseimpossible to say whetherthe LegislativeCouncil will assent to tho measure beuoruing law, or whether they may notprefer to follow the conservative policyof the JlouseofLords at homeandstandby ecclesiastical tradition in the matter.The arguments used on both sides werevery much the same as those alwaysused wherever and whenever this vexedquestion is brought up for discussion.The traditions of society were quotedby various opponents of the bill,and. the enactments of the Levitical codewere brought forward by others, andeachseemed satisfied that hehad get thematter atrest by the weight of theautho-rity which he had adduced. On theotherhand, Mr. Stewart and his friendstook their standboldly upon the utilityof the matter, and,equally disregardingtheLeviticus and the viens of our forefathers, maintained that there was ademand for such a change in the old lawof marriage,andthat thedi-mandshouldbe met. The argument which,no doubt,told with the greatest weight on the As-sembly was that while it is true Englandli'is not adoptedthe altered|law, it is alsotrue that four of the neighbouring colo-nies have done so. Ifit is anargumenttherefore that,as Mr. Arogelsays,it is amisfortune in neighbouring countries(like England and Scotland) to havediverse marriage laws, the argument isinour case all in favourofMr. Stewart'smeasure, whichis thelaw in almost allthe neighbouring colonies. "Whatevermay bo thought of tho desirability orotheivuse of tins change, however, onsocial grounds, it is as well toface the fact that it 13 inevitable.Themoment that our lawsubstituted theview that marriage is a i»ere civil con-tract, equallyvalidwith thocertificate ofa registrar and the bleaamg of an arch-bi-ihop, the logical ground of oppositionto tho change proposed was, we j'oncpi^e,done away. And any opposition on theground that it 1a contrary to the feelingsof society in gem1!nl mil bu suflicjoutly,or at least effectively,met by the succes-sive victories achieved by tho advocatesof the change — victories dependent, afterall,ultimatelyupon the feehugsof societyin the matter.

The chief feature of yesterday's Parliamen-tary business waa the statement by theMinister of Public Works. The mamfeatures of that statement will,we conceive,bo regarded as satisfactory to the public ;for, althoughno doubt we couldhave wishedto see more accomplished, it must beadmitted that more has been done in thepast year thaninany former year since thepolicy of public works was initiated. Thelateness of the hour prevents ourrefeiring at length to the State-ment, which dcseivea a very carefulconsideration on many grounds. We pro-pose, however, to return to the subject, andendeavour to lay before our readus someapproximate view of \vhitis being done andwhat is proposed for the future.

The Amended Liftlining Bill, which hasbeen brought into the House of Repiesenta-tives, appears to be chu (ly taken up withvariations in the details of the measure oflast session, and presents few new featuresof very great importance. Ifc waa almost apity, in this very impoitaut matter, to bein so pricafc a hurry to amend thoAct of 1ST.'?, if nomore radical improvementswere rctjuircd than appear to be proposedWe say this the rather because this systemof cobbling Acts— which is unfortunately socommon

— has a very seiious effect in pre-venting leally well-considered measures onlargesubjects from becoming law. Make-shift Af<s are so common thatour law-giverascarcely trouble themselves to aspire to any-thing beyond a makeshift, under the im-pression apparently that it can easily beamendednext year.

The returns of land purchases in theNorthInland, suppliedon themotion of MrGillies, is a very important document, andone to which wehope our ieideis will diroctthe lrspecial attention. We shall take anearly occasion tomakesome commentson thefacts disclosed by the return, and not 1 astupon some of thefacts in connection withthesalaries and allowances of some of the agentsemployedbyGovernmentinth« woik.

Wo observe a list of the Acts of ourPro-\incuil Councilleft to their operation by theGovernor, but as yet no mention made ofthe amendedEducation Act. Itis almost apity |that, on this point, tho Governmentshould l-e so slow to make up their miud.We should imagiue ifc waa not of much con-scq iuce to the Hoard whether the amend-ment was assented toor not, butitmust beof inipottanco toknow whatAct they are toi*o uponin getting rates for s'hool purposes.

The YVard-Ohapm<in scandal drags its•\u25a0lo'.v length along. Our opinion we havealready expressed on the subject, and weInve nodoubt that further inves igation willdo little more than show that one Judgemade a verystupidkiudof blunder, and thatanother and an inferior judge took uponhimself to make unproveablecharges, andassumed to depose or, at least, to suspendtho Judgo of the Courtabovehim. Whatthe report of the committee may be wecouldnot, of course,venture to guess, but wo shallbe binprisedif eitherof the two legal digni-taries comeoutof the matter anybetter thanhe went into it.

The election for Waitemata whichwill come off next week is not, afterall, to form another instance of apoliticaltriangular duel. Mr. W. L. Reesr,haa.itappears, retired from thefield, leavinghis two rivals to fight the matter out unin-terruptedly on Tuesday next. We under-stand Mr. Rees andhis friends will supportthe candidature of Mr. Von der Heyde,whoseparty are consequently sanguine of asignal victory. On the other hand thefriends of Mr. Macfarlane anticipate an un-qualified success. When political doctorsdiffer who shall decide. Tuesday however,will bring the time anddisclose the man.

Mr, Von der Heyde announces his inten-tion of addressing the electors of Waitmata,at the Whau Public Hall, this evening athilf-past seven o'clock.

The nominations for the vacant seat inthe City Council, consequenton the retire-mentof Mr. P. A.Philips, closed, yesterdayat 4 o'clock m the afternoon. There aretwo gmtlemau nominated, Messrs. WilliamBuchananand William Kirby. The formergentlemen was nominatedby Measra.JamesCarlan, J. M. McLachlan, and GeorgeRhodes ;and the latter by Messrs. WilliamKean, Masefield and Co., and AndrewCraig. If one or other of the^|candidates for civic honours do not retire,which we understand canbe done any timebefore the 4th ofAugust, a poll willhave tobe takenon that day, at » cost to the rate-payers of something like £20. It is surelybetter to spend the £20 uponmaking roadsto ratepayers' houses thanupon the variousformalities required by tho law whena con-tested election takes place. Bothcandidatesare good men, andas the gentlemenhave aconsiderable stake in the place it wouldbe a guarautee that each would fully do hisduty to the generalbody of ratepayers.

Tho remarks contained in "NunquamDormio's

" weekly contribution, on fire in-suranceanda fire detector, publishedin thiaday's issue, deserve the attentionof all per*sons resident in the country. The grievancepointed out, as to the rates of insurancecharged upon homesteads, or country resi-dences,is one we are airare,of long standing,and may yetculminate inthe establishment,as he suggests, of a Mutual Insurance Com-pany. Oar local companies ought tobe wisein time. The competition for business iskeen enough without courting the establish-ment of further insurance companies.

The adjourned annual meeting of theHobson Company was held yesterday even,

Thebusinessof the meeting wasthe considerationof whatshould ha done with the balancestanding to thecredit of the Company. Itwasunanimously resolved that the amountshould l>e handed over to the band fund.CantainBurns announced that until furtherorders the regular weekly drill of the Com-pany v.ould bo without arras.

A very interesting andinstructivelecturewa3 delivered last night by theRight Rev.Dr. Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, on thesubject of the Manuscripts of the NewTestament. The lecturer quite engrossedthe attention of the audience, which wasunusually large, and appeared to be tho-roughly master of the s ibject he discussed.He intimated an intention of giving furtherlectures on the same subject.

Mr. George Turner waswasdesorvedly encored inhis falsetto "Kissme, mother, ereIdie." The whole enter-tainment is thoroughly enjoyable, and weshouldrecommend allwhohavenotwitnessedit to go and judge for themselves.

If the weather keeps, all fine a treat wil1be witnessed at theNorth Shore to-day inthe match, Auckland v.
