Dunedin, New Zealand, July 20 —The
ansrels of night were descending from the
evening skies and ascending from the
waves of the Pacific and riding down in
black chariot of shadow from the moun
tains of New Zealand as we approached
the harbor ot Auckland, and the light
house on the rocks held up its great torch
to keep us off the reefs, and to show us
the way to safe wharfage, seeming to say,
“Yonder is a path of waves! Ride into
peace! Accept the welcome of this
island continent?”
It was 7:30 o’clock when the great
screw of our steamer ceased to swirl the
waters, and the gang plank was lowered
and we ascended to the firm land, our
name called as we heard it spoken by a
multitude who were there to> greet us
Strange sensation was it 10,000 miles from
borne to hear our name pronounced by
those whose faces we had never seen be
fore, and whose faces could he only dimly
seen now by the lanterns on the dock?
and the lights of our ship, just halted
after a long voyage. Wbat made the
night more memorable was that 1 was
suddenly informed at 8 o’clock I was to
lecture in their hall, and thirty minutes
was short time to allow a poor sailor like
myself to get physical and mental equi
poise, after twenty-one days’ pitching.
But at 8 o'clock 1 was ready and con
fronted a throng of people, cordial and
penial as any one ever saluted from plat
form or pulpit.
I told how for many days I had been
looking off on a great ocean of ipecac, bat
that 1 had not wanted, as many sa.v un
der such circumstances, to be thrown
overboard, and that I did not think any
one ever did want to be thrown over
board, and reminded them of tne seasick
voyager who said he wished to be thrown
into the sea, and the captain had a sailor
dash on him a pailful of cold ocean water,
and when the soaked and shivering man
protested and asked the captain what he
meant by such an insult, the captain re
plied: “You wanted to be throwm over
board. and I thought I would let you try
how you liked a bucket of the water be
fore you took the whole ocean.”
.Never so glad were we to stand on firm
land as the night of our arrival at Auck
land. Wondrous New Zealand ! Few peo
ple realize how it was discovered. They
tell us of Capt. Cook and of Dutch navi
gators, but ail the islands of the South
sea as well as this immense New Zealand
were discovered as a result of the effort
to watch the transit of Venus over the
sun's disc from the South seas. The
Koyal Society sent out ships for this pur
pose, and Capt. Cook and the astronomers
and botanists who accompanied him on
his voyage were only the agents of
science. How the interests of this world
are linked with the behavior of other
worlds, and how the fact men
tioned suggests that most of the valuable
things known in this would have been found
out while looking for something else, and
What sublimity all this gives to the
work of the explorer, the transit of Ve
nus, an island of light, resulting in the
transit o£ many islands from the unknown
into the well known. But the prowess of
such men can never be fully appreciated.
The sea captain who puts out in this day
of charts and navigating apparatus with
a ship of 10.000 tons for another hemis
phere, daring typhoons and cyclones,
strange currents and hidden rocks, must
be a brave man; but who can measure the
courage of Cabot, or Marco Paulo, or Capt.
Cook, sailing out into unknown seas,
across wildernesses of water that have
never been mapped, in ships of 200 tons,
discovering rocks only by running upon
them and met on shore by savages ready
to scalp or roast them. These challengers
of tempest and cannibalism and oceanic
horror must have had nerve and vaior
beyond that of any other heroes. Such
men set New /.ealand as a gem into
the crown of the world’s geography. To
me and to most people who come here.
New Zealand i3 a splendid surprise. We
have all read so much about the supersti
tions and outrageous cruelty of this land
in other times, that we are startled on ar
riving here to find more churches in New
Zealand than in America, in proportion
to ihe number of the population. In one
village that I visited since coming here, I
find eight churches to a population of
people. There are too many
churches in many places in New Zealand
and they ,ost!e each other and contend
for right of possession, hindering each
other, and half-starving inAny of their
ministers, as is sure to be the case when
there are too many churches and conse
quently not enough support for every one
Of them.
Another surprise to me is that female
suffrage is in full blast. I found elegant
ladies telling of their experience at tho
ballot box, and I hereby report to the
American ladies now 1 moving for the right
ol female suffrage that New Zealand is
clear ahead of them and tnat the experi
ment has been made here successfully.
Instead of the baLot box degrading wo
man, woman is here elevating the ballot
box, and why in New /.ealand or America
or anywhere else should man be afraid to
let woman have a vote, as though man
himself had made such a grand use of it.
Look at the illiterates and the incompe
tents who have been elected to office and
see how poorly the masculines have exer
cised the right of suffrage. look at the
governments of nine-tenths of the Ameri
can cities and see what work the ballot'
box has done in the possession of
man. Man at the ballot v box
ls a failure, give woman a
chance. I am not clear that govern
mental affairs will be made any better by
the change; but they cannot be any worse.
New , ealand has tried it, let England and
America try it. It is olten said in
America that if women bad the right to
vote they would not exercise it. l or the
refutation of that theory I put the fact
that in the last election in New /.ealand
( 'i I(W,UUO women who registered ffO.ooo
have voted, while of the l'.ia.ucO men who
registered only 12D,U(X have voted. This
ratio shows that women are more anxious
to vote than men. Ferhaps woman will
yet save politics. I know the charge that
sne is responsible for the ruin of tier race,
since she first ale the forbidden fruit in
Faradise, but 1 think there is a chapter
in that matter of l.deuic fruit not written.
I think that Adam when he saw Eve eat*
j Q g that apple asked for a bite
mid, getting it into his possession ate the
most of it. and he Immediately shook the
tree for more apples aud has been eating
® ver since. If woman did first transgress
1 cannot forget that she introduced into
t' c world the only being who has ever
hone much towards saving it. Womau
h is started for suffrage, and she is a de
termined and persevering creature, and
the will keep on until she gets it; she may
■ v< ‘t decide the e.eotions in England, aud
'eect Presidents tor the United states, ns
4 ready she is busy in the political affairs
New Zealand. 1 was surprised
* ls <> in these regions to find
how warmly loyal they ure to old Eug
iand, 1 had heard that they had become
•oinewhat impatient of their governmen
tal mother. But this is not so. They
Practically have things their own way,
ciei-ting their own parliament, and all
sovttgi.or* atm t out from the old country
are such men as are agreeable, and the
people are required to pay no tax to the
British crown, and they are in good
humor with the British Bag.
I addressed an audience last night, on
my right hand the United States hag, on
my left hand the English nag. and you
ought to have heard them shout when at
the beginning of my address I said.-When
in tny church at home I pray for the
President of the United States, I am very
apt to add, God save the queen.”
Many of the streets of New Zealand
cities are called alter the generals and
prime ministers of Great Britain, and
Wellington, and Palmerston, and Glad
stone. are the names of great thorough
fares New Zealand feels the financial
depression very much as the whole world
at this time seems suffering an epidemic,
indeed the world is now a compressed
and interlocked affair. Out of the hold
of our ship arriving in New Zealand were
lifted rakes, ploughs, and various agri
cultural implements of American manu
facture. To-day all New Zealand is re
joicing that the American congress has
put wool on the free Hst and the value of
the sheep on all these hill-sides is aug
mented.
Among our most interesting hours in New
Zealand were those spent at the bishop's
house in Auckland. Eord Bishop Cowie
is a man of marvelous attractiveness, and
his home is an enchantment, adorned
with many curios which he brought from
India, where he served as chaplain during
that war which interests and appals the
world with its tales of mutiny. While
chaplain he rode with Sir Coiin Campbell
and his historical host for the capture of
Lucknow, that city whose name will
stand in the literature of all age vas the
synonym for Sepoy atrocities, and
womanly fortitude, andChristiuu heroics.
He told us most graphically how the
women waiting for death at Lucknow
tore up their underclothes to make ban
dages for the woundi. of the soldiers, and
that when at last these women were
rescued they appeared in the brilliant
dress of the ball-room. These dresses
formerly worn by the convivial having
been suddenly come upon, and when the
wives and daughters of missionaries and
Christian merchants had nothing else to
wear.
Lord Bishop Cowie also had on his
walls pictures of some of the most stir
ring scenes of the Russian war with which
the military friends of the bishop had
been cogni. ant. Here is a pictured scene
where there was no retreat for the
English, and yet their standing firm
seemed certain destruction, and their
general cried out, "Menl there is no re
treat from this place, you will die here!”
and the men replied, "Aye. aye, we are
ready to do that!” And yonder another
pictured scene of Ijialaklava after the
famous charge of the 600, and the com
mander said to the few men who had got
back from the awful charge, “Men, it
was a mad-brained trick.” and they re
plied. "Never mind, general, we would do
it again.’’ The bishop's walls in other
places were made interesting by swords,
belts, and tom insignia of battle from the
fields of India, all the more interesting
because we expect in our journey around
the world to visit Lucknow and Cawn
pore and Delhi, and many of the chief
places made immortal by the struggle be
tween British valor and Sepoy infamy.
And here from the bishop s own words,
I got a satisfactory answer to a question
I have asked many times, but for which I
never received a satisfactory answer. I
said, “your lordship knew the chief men
of Balaklava, and will you please explain
to me what I have never been able to find
out, and to which Tennyson makes refer
ence in nis ‘Charge of the Light Brigade.’
and in that line where he says, ‘Some one
had blundered.’ Do you know and will
you tell me exactly what that blunder
was?” Hesaid. “lean and will.” Then the
bishop illustrated with knives and forks
ant napkin rings on the dining
table the position of the English
guns, the Russian guns and
the troops. He demonstrated to me
plainly what the military blunder was
that caused the dasli and havoc of that
cavalry regiment whose click of spurs
and clatter of hoofs, and jingle of bits,
and spurts of blood you hear in the poet
laureate’s battle hymn. Here was the
line of tne English guns not very well de
fended, and yonder was the line of Rus
sian guns, backed by the whole Russian
army. The order was given to the cav
alry regimeut to take care of those En
glish guns and keep them from being
taken by the Russians, and the command
was; "Take care o) those English guns!”
But the words were misunderstood,
and it was, supposed that the or
der was to capture the Russian
artillery. Instead of the command, "Take
care of those English guns!” it
was thought the command.was, "Take
those Russian guns!” For that ghastly
and horrible assault of the impossible,
the riders plunged their spurs and headed
tbair horses into certain death. At last
I had positive information as to what the
blunder at Balaklava was. At Edin
burgh. Scotland, years, ago I asked one of
the soldiers who rode in that charge the
same question, but even he. a participant
in the scenes of that fiery day, could not
tell me just what the blunder was.
Now I have at last not only told in
stirring words of a natural orator and
magnetic talker, but on the dining table
of the Lord Bishop of Auckland I had it
set out before the eye, dramatized and
demonstrated by the cutlery on the white
taile cloth: but, ins;ead of the steel bay
onets, th; silver forks of a beautiful re
past, and instead of the sharp swords of
death, knives for bread-cutting, and in
stead of the belching guns of destruction,
the napkin rings of a hospitality the mem
ory of which shall be bright and fresh
as long as I remember this visit to
New Zealand.

A PIRATE’S COOK.
A Man 114 Years Old Living on an
Island.
Braidentown, Fla., Sept. I.—While
cruising among the Ten Thousand islands
about ten miles below Koon Key yester
day, your correspondent visited an island
where resides Mr. John Gomas and wife,
where they have lived alone for years in
a regular Crusoe fashion, master of all
within their reach, with none but the
government to dispute their rights. Mr.
Gomas is 114 years of age, having come to
this country from Spain nearly a century
ago as cook for a pirate vessel. His looks
will prove nis age as forcibly as the
records in his possession.
He raises his own vegetables and has a
very nice cocoanut grove from which he
obtains bis support. He talks very intel
ligently, ana many are the stories of pi
rate life related Dy him. His wife ap
pears equally as old. although she has no
record of her age. However, she claims
to have lived over a century, and moves
about quite lively for an old person, doing
her domestic work with considerable
ease and with lime to spare in the garden.
She was horn in Georgia, a fact that she
is quite proud of.
Tre isures are supposed to be buried on
their island, and it often becomes neces
sary for Mr. Gomas to guard his island
with a shotgun from the destructive
treasure seekers.
Ho Declined to Divide Time.
Waycross, Ga. Sept. I.—The congress
ional race in the hleventb district be
tween lion. Henry G. Turner, the demo
cratic nominee, and Hr S. M. Johnson,
the popuiist nominee, will attract very
little attention, judging from the present
outlook, i' riends of Mr. Turner have in
vited Dr. .lobnsou to divine time with
Judge Turner, aud he declined emphati
cally- . .
Dr. Johnson said that he would not
meet Mr Turner at all during the cam
paign. He preferred to muke speeches
without interference from a democratic
point of view.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1*94.
POLITICS IN THREE STATES.
Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.
Eawrencerille News No wonder the
Atlanta Constitution advises the central
democratic committee to call in Hon.
Henry G. Turner, The Constitution has
been preaching so many fallacies to the
people that it dreads to have a man like
Henry G. Turner expose them on the
hustings. The News is not supporting
Mr. Turner in his race for the senate, but
it is proud of any Georgian who has the
manhood and the honesty to tell the peo
ple the truth concerning the financial
question. On with your work, Mr.
Turner.
Lawrenceville Nows: When such an
undemocratic sheet as the Atlanta Con
stitution advises so great and good and
pure a democrat as Henry G. Turner to
keep off the stump, the average demo
cratic stomach feels like rebelling against
its contents. •
Waycfoss Herald: The Atlanta Con
stitution has opened its batteries on Hon.
H. G. Turner. The onslaught is not un
expected. and is very gratifying to Mr.
Turner's friends throughout the state. It
there were any doubts about his oeing
elected senator before, they no longer
exist.
Valdosta Times: Hon. H. G. Turner is
receiving more invitations to speak than
he can possibly fill. He is wanted at six
different places on one day next week. He
will probably speak at Rome, Gainesville.
Lawrencevilie, Baxley, and other places
next week, and at Milledgeville to-day.
He spoke at Decatur last Tuesday, and
Leary on Thursday. There is a wide
spread desire all over Georgia to hear this
distinguished Georgian.
Valdosta Telescope: "I may make mis
takes, and possihly it may pay me to bend
the pregnant hinges of the knee, but I
had rather see this great question settled
intelligently, safely, patriotically than
any good thing that might happen to
me.” The spirit of these words from
Mr. Turner’s Decatur speech make him
worth a ship load of the mud politicians
who are turned and twisted about like
clay in the hands of the potter.
Sylvania Telephone: There is a col
ored man up in Johnson county named
Early Green, who was nominated by the
third party for coroner. He and his
friends in return were to vote for the
third party candidates, which, according
to their promise, they did. Green was
elected coroner—but did he get the office?
Not much. After he was elected his
third party friends all refused to go on
nis official bond, which he had to give
before he could take charge of the office.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The demo
cratic speakers who are now waking tho
echoes on the Georgia stump cannot do
better than follow tne path blazed by Col.
W. C. Glenn in bis Columbus speech—
stand by the democratic administration,
stand by the Chicago platform, stand by
the Georgia platform of 1894. And it
ought not to be necessary to remind any
of these speakers, nor any candidate on
the stump, that there is no 10 to 1 free sil
ver coinage mentioned in words or in
dorsed in spirit by either of these great
party authorities.
FLORIDA.
Pensacola News, Aug. 28: It is now
just thirty-four days until the arrivalof
the time when independentism in Florida
will be calmly but positively wiped from
the face of the earth.
Ocala Capitol: It is stated that H. M.
Flagler and H. B. Plant are contemplat
ing building a large hotel at Lemon-bay.
The house is to contain about 1,000 rooms
and will be the largest in the state.
The "reformers” should protest to these
“foreign capitalists” thus ‘'ruining the
country.”
St. Augustine News: That the ab
duction of Delegate Helvenston at the
Palatka convention to prevent his voting
in the committee on credentials was an
outrage no one denies, and if the parties
committing the offense are properly dealt
with by the authorities it will be a valu
able lesson to future offenders. Prac
tical jokes (?j belong to school boys
only. •• •
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia State: It is claimed that the
closing of the state barroom for three
months has resulted in a profit of $9,000
because of the increase meanwhile of the
United States revenue tax on whisky
from 90 cents to sl.lO per gallon. We
could see this profit if the liquor were to
he sold at a correspondingly increased
price; but if sold at the old rate there
will be no extra profit to the state.
Columbia State: A reorganization of
the democratic party of South Carolina
and a fight to the finish against the be
trayal of the state into populist slavery,
would be supported by tbe moral senti
ment of the democracy everywhere; but
particularly of the south, which, akin to
us in sympathies and conditions, knows
the perils of our situation and the hard
ness of our lot.
Columbia Register: It now begins to
appear as if Senator Butler is back of the
effort ihe republicans have been making
to have the registration laws of the state
wiped out by the courts. The registra
tion laws will stand, and it is said Butler
will contest Tillman's election to the sen
ate on the ground that but for the regis
tration laws sufficient negroes would
have Voted to secure election to the gen
eiai assembly of enough members to elect
him. i
Greenville News: Alas, alas for Abbe
ville, alas yet more for our Hemphill. He
got caught in the undertow, and from the
nappy shore, with cruel and relentless
flow his struggling form it bore. And
physicians anu life preservers were in
vain. His name is mud. The name of
Hemphill and refawm—our own Hemphill
and refawm— is mud. The knife lias gone
into his vitals and alsohis victuals Ho is
senator no more. It was done in the
name of refawm and the drop was sprung
by one Isaac McUalla. The metaphors
are mixed badly but the operation was a
success. Oh Refawm, what crimes—what
deadly crimes!—are perpetrated in thy
sacred name.

well-known capitalist, and her liaison
with him created such scandal that her
parents sent her to the care of relatives
in San Francisco; The change failed to
make the desired reformation, and she
soon became a marked figure on Kearney
and Market streets during the afternoon.
Among her admirers was a wealthy
man named Rothschild, who laid himself
and bis fortune at her feet. She utilized
them both until she fell in love with a
cigar drummer named Henry Neustret
ter. She married Neustretter in 1884,
and all went well for a time. Her hus
band’s business compelled him to be out
of the city most of the time, and during
his absence Nellie led a rapid life. She
was the boon companion of ali the fast
young men about town,-and the end came
In 1887. She left her husband and went
to New York in company with Laura
Kdelmen, a noted woman of Los Angeles.
Neustretter secured a divorce, and Nellie
continued to ihe a gay life in New York.
AS DASHING AS A PRINCESS.
She captured the heart of a millionaire
manufacturer, who gave her a sumptuous
flat, horses and carriages, and all the
money she could spend. He took her to
Lurope, where she traveled like a
princess. When she. returned to New
York she daz/led tne people with the ele
gance ol' her Worth dresses and the bril
liancy of her jewels.
In 18'J0 she returned to San Francisco
to visit her parents, who had removed to
this city from Lureka. She took rooms
at a leading hotel, dressed better than
any woman in town, wore thousands of
dollars worth of gems and spent money
freely. Her money began to give out and
she went back to New York for more,
taking with her a pretty Oakland girl.
The next that was heard of her was
that she had gone to Europe again, and
had been e.ected from the Continental
hotel in Paris. To her parents she wrote
that she was studying for the stage, and
always concealed from them the fact that
she was leading a fast life. She wrote
that she would return to San Francisco
in October next.

According to this charge the names of

THE WEED NUIBA HOE.
A Sugestlon That It Might Be Well to
Heed.
Savannah, Ga., Sept. I.—Editor of the
Morning News: Please rail attention
through your columns to one of the most
dangerous nuisances now existing in this
city. The city laborers are cleaning tho
sidewalks of gra*s, and when they come
across an empty lot thrown over with that
notorious bad-smelling weed they cut a
few pieces away, leaving an exceedingly
unpleasant odor. The weeds thus eut
must ho vor* dangerous to health, luu
ought to suggest the free use of lune after
they are cut.
1 have called the attention of Iloallh
Officer Brunner to two lots on each siuo
of my bouse which are not only danger
ous to health, but nr,- go .u hiding places
for sneak thieves )ou .will find on Hall
und other sin ets plenty of such places.
r.ease uo wliutou Ciui to abate this
nuUaoio and ibm danger to the tioulth of
tile people. A little tune, judiciously
used, might do a world ei pood. U ioj.u
do no barm, and might prevent a great
deal ol slcknuas. A ttlTEEituu.
CRUISE OF THE GLANCE.
Ten Days on the Little Vessel Among
the Georgia Islands.
The yacht Glance, which left Thunder
bolt Aug. 21 for a cruise along the coast,
after completing her intended course, re
turned to her anchorage oft Wilmington
Island day before yesterday. Her party
of marooners—Messrs. A. A. Aveilhe,
Theodore Wells, Isaac Beckett, George N.
Spring and Norman Beckett—are enthu
siastic in the praises of the merits of the
yacht and the delights of the cruise, not
withstanding they encountered several
severe squalls. In fact nearly the entire
time was taken up with storms and calms
in alternate succession.
Wednesday the yacht was struok by
six distinct squalls in the Ogeechee, and
Bear rivers, the last one compelling her to
seek harbor, under close reefed sails, at
Mr. Furber’i beautiful place. "Kilkenny,”
in Bryan county, where the night was
spent on board. Thursday they visited
St. Catharine's, the star of the Georgia
coast. Friday they made Duplin river,
in Sapelo Island, and after a delightful
stay of two days, started for Brunswick
and reached there Tuesday forenoon.
The party started from Brunswick on
the return trip in the afternoon, but
owing to the unfavorable weather did not
reach St. Catharine’s until late Wednes
day afternoon, where a failure of wind
compelled them to remain until the next
morning. They reached W’ilmington
early Friday. One member of the party,
who is an old yachtsman on the coast,
sa.vs that in twenty years’ experience he
had not met such continuous bad weather.
The marooners were recipients of many
kind attentions In Duplin river, .Mr.
Robert C. Forrill took them in charge.
At Dubov Mr. Benbee extended hospital
ities. and at Brunswick Mr. John C. Leh
man was untiring in his attentions. At
St. Catharine’s Mr. Rowers extended to
them his well-known hospitality,which is
never less than generous, whether Us
recipients are driven to his island by
stress of weather, or seek its shore on
pleasure bent.
Asa whole, the cruise of the Glance
was a success, the storms encountered
or.ly adding spice to its many enjoyments.
The \ easel is completely litted up for
cruising having a tine airy cablu with sleep
ing accommodations, table, a galley, and
all the paraphernalia essential to house
keeping. ishe is moreover provided with
a large water proof awning, extending
from the mast to tho stern, under which
the occupants may rest while the vessel
is at anchor. Under her forward deck is
carried a twenty-live-gallon water tank,
and at the stern a receptacle holding 200
pounds of ice. She is amply provided
with mattresses, pillows arid bed linen.
In favorable weather tho bedding is placed
on deck under the awning, affording the
yachimen cool breezes without dampness.
