WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.

The marvels.of electricity are being practically brought home to us by the j wonders of the electrical exhibition in Paris. Messrs Siemens’ electrical tram way is now In full working order be tween the Place de la Concorde and the Palace of Industry. The j ourney can be made for a few pence, and the tramway is largely patronised, King Kalakaua being one of the earliest pas sengers; This tramway funs on the street-level like the ordinary horse cars, but the electrical system appears to be better suited to an overhead line. ’ It is easier to insulate, while the advantage, of its relieving the street traffic will be added to those of construction. Electric tramways will probably be largely adopted in all cities before long. Another remarkable feature of this exhibition is the extra ordinary ; application of the telephone khd micraphone to the transmission of operatic and theatrical performances. This was tried with success at the Leeds musical festival last year, but on an extended scale it is to be seen in Paris now. Two rooms are fitted up in the exhibition to which ten persons are admitted;in turn —one is connected by wire with the Theatre Francais, the other with the Grand Opera. In both the result is described as most marvel lous. The actors are heard with as much distinctness as if the listeners were seated in the stalls; the voices of the singers come “ undiminished in purity, beauty, and force.” The further development of this extraordinary in vention is certain, and soon we shall he able to hear our favorite preacher or listen to our favorite opera without leaving our armchair.

WHAT HE DOES SUPPORT.

To the Editor.

Sir,—ln yesterday’s issue you have a paragraph bearing the above heading, in which you -say you have been requested by Mr Ivess to notify “ that he is not a strong supporter of Sir George Grey, but that many of the measures proposed by Sir George Grey have his (Mr Ivess’) full countenance and supportfor which ho doubt Sir George Grey, if he only knew it, would be truly thankful. Now, from this, one would that Mr Ivess is to a certain extent a supporter of . Sir George Grey, and undoubtedly a supporter of many of his measures; But turn to the report of;’.his i(Mr Ivess’) speech at the Town Hall— which, if I am rightly in formed, was in type before the speech was delivered, and contains matter strongly resembling what is to be found in Mr Sealey’s pamphlet “ Are We to Stay Here?” —Mr Ivess-says : “I am not. a follower of Sir George Grey,; but ! was a supporter of most of his measures. • ' . In seeking to displace them (i.e., the present Government), it must be plainly understood that I would not support Sir George Grey’s return to power ; ” from which I conclude that he had not only renounced Sir George Grey himself, but all that statesman's measures as well. This is blowing hot and cold with a vengeance. What fresh position will this Protean candidate for Parliamentary honors now assume 1 And how does he (if he can) reconcile the above statements with each other.—l am, &c., Nov. 2. Inquisitive.

“THE GALLANT VOLUNTEER”

To the Editor.

* Sir,' —The paragraph you published in yesterday’s issue, containing an account of the ludicrous, not to say cowardly con duct of one of our volunteers in tele graphing to his wife to have a warrant taken out against him for wife desertion, is not at all calculated to raise that volun , teer in public esteem. There has been much talk about the matter in the town ship, and no doubt the paragraph will be widely copied by the New Zealand press, f as the “ dodge” on the part of the hero of the paragraph is rather unique as well as amusing. But I would ask my fellow citizens not to condemn the man unheard. He is at the front, and we are here. We . have no means of ascertaining the genuine ; ness of the telegram, and it may be some time before he may learn what has been done in his name, and has, leisure to contradict it. It is now a well-known fact amongst the volunteers here that tho hero was not an efficient; though that fact was not well-known when he joined. It is ex tremely probable that his awkardness at drill and the circumstances under which he joined the corps may have made him a sort of standing joke amongst his comrades ,at the front—not necessarily his Ashbur ton comrades alone, but those of other corps as well. And what more likelythan that the telegram, on which the farce de tailed in your paragraph came to be on set ed; was neither more nor less than q stupid but .too successful practical joke, of a sbrt of all too common, es pecially amongst young devil-may-care ■ fellows, such as many of the volunteers of the colony are well-known to be. I would , ask tho public to reserve their condemria t tion of this volunteer’s apparent cowardice and tomfoolery until the whole matter is cleared upi —I am, &c,, - - DE.

ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR, RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super r ceding all the old. restorers and dyeiTfof the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes, growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigpr. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness., It is not a dye, npr dpes it con tain any coloring matter or , offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden: “One of my customers told ; me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 ’ sold him, it was restored to and kept its | natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in tbilet articles in the kingdom, at 3a 6cL per bottle. —Prejiared by' HENRY* 0. 1 GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford reet, London,
