Fifty thousand carrier pigeons, flown to* gether, are to form one of tho sights at the forthcoming Paris Exhibition. Newe from German New Guinea reports that two Prussians had a quarrel, which resulted m one Bhooting the other dead and then committing suioido. A very interesting lecture is shortly forth coming on the eubject of " The Australian j Colonies contrasted with New Zealand," It ! will be delivered by Mr D. H. Brown m the Wesleyan Churoh on Monday evening next. The London cprrospQpderit of the " Otago Daily Times'" says that complaints have been made as to the quality of tbo New Zealand obeeaeß ■which have lately appeared on the London market, it being stated that they were not up to the usual average. A Buaeian Jew has invented a watch that goes by eleoliioity. There are no springe, but two wheel b and a second hand, wbioh moves by momentary leaps, and thus makes it valuable m asironomioal observations. It is thought that the invention will revolutionise tpe makipg of watches, and then the time will come when they pan be used for telegraphy B&rnet, a little town neer London, has dieoarded gas for eleotrioitv. It is illumi nated by 71 electrio lampß. If the authorities of Barnet can prove thateleotrioity is cheaper than gaa, other plaoeo will follow its example* As it is Barnet has the honour of being the first t&wn m Great Britain to make the now departure m eleotrio lighting. Mr Marshall, a house and estate agent, of Brighton, while Buffering, it is said, from an attack of delirium tremens, throw himself into the sea from the deck of the steamer lonia while the vessel was lying m Plymouth Sound. Mr E. R. M'Kinslry, R.N.R., the second officer of the lonic, immediately jumped after him, and, m spite of the man's {resistance, BUC£eof|f d, jn Bgving his life. The Oamaro Wooilon Factory Company has juot held its annual meeting, and is'novr m the satisfactory position of having earned a /air profit during the past year. The report shows that there ia a surplus of £1599 7s 5d on the year's work, and of this amount £441 is to be written off for wear and tear. The directors give a good reason for not paying a dividepd with the balance. The turn m the tide, after io much buffeting with adversity, is moat satisfactory, and there 13 every probability, gay« the " North Otago Times " that the euooeea of the oompany will poatinuo. A good story is told of an Order leeker— pne of " tho pestilential nuisanoes who sigh ifor AHtographo," when the autographs are those of aot}ng-mnnagorp, It was at some Dublin sports that' this partjoulnv pne tyeb with Mr J.

Pretending not to have a oard, Mr Warden wrote an order on the shirt-front of the viotim. and told him to show it to tho boxkeeper, and it would bo all right. But the boxkeoper had recoived his instructions, and when the individual presented himself and askod for admission, the official said politely^ "Oerfcainly, sir: but you must give up tho order "— >' Tabloaii.?'

A meeting of the trade was held on Tuosday at whioh aresolu- I tion was paseod that a deputation be appointed to interview tho Premier on his return from O'bro, with reference to the appointment of Mr Shannon, as Drapery Inspector under tho Cußtoms' Ao v . A sub-Committee was ap pointed to arrange for the interview, and also to telegraph to the other centres. 1 Tho following extract is from a private letter received by the Wairarapa, from a well-known Victorian merchant : — " The ! land boom m Melbourne is pretty well playod out, and those who have recently beoome enriohed will look out for other fields for investment, and New Zealand is the , ooming country. I wish I were out of business ' now, with my capital m ready cash. I would have little hesitation m embarking m New Zealand property. A very important derision under the Hoßpitalß and Charitable Aid Acts has- just been given on the appeal of the South Canter bury Board ngainst a judgment of the R.M rendering the Board liable for the cost o relief to an ex-resident of the district who bad become obargeable to the Otago Board. The R.M. had decided m favor of the latter, holding that continuous residence for tho whole of the six months previous to leaving the distriot was not required to be provod. Judge Williams has reversed this deoision, and allowed the appeal with costs. The Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid' Board have passed a resolution expressing the opinion that tbo system of providing relief work out of Parliamentary grants will never solve tho unemployed difficulty and only tends to oreato Bnd foster a State pauperism. A deputation has been ap pointed to wait upon the Hon. Mr Richard son, on his arrival m Auokland to press upon him the urgent necessity of the establishment of additional village settlements m this district, this being m their view the only praotioal solution of tho question; The Paris Omnibus Company, m its returns for 1887, states that it oarried 106,815,858 passengers m its omnibuses, or 292,646 a day, and 73,278,068 m its trams, making a general total of 177,519,455 passengers. The number of vehicles m use was 593 omnibuses and 263 trams, while the number of horses averaged 8489 per diem for the omnibuses and 3152 for the tramß, the average distanoe travelled a day by oacji horse being len miles. The cost of keep for all these horses was about £323,000, or rather more than Is 6d a day for eaoh horse. The wages of the drivers and conduotors averaging about 5s 3d a day for the former and 4s 8d a day for the latter, amount to about £40,800 for the year. The general monthly meeting of the Ash burton. Cycling Club was held m Gamble's Rooms, Baring square, on 30th Nov at 8 p.m. There was a good attendance, Captain Muller m the ohair. Mr W. O. Walker was eleoted an honorary member of the Club. " The Com mittee reported that the cinder path was now ready for use, It was resolved that membera wishing to uso the path for training must pbtain! a ticket from the Seoretary, the fee to bo 23 Cd.

An exciting eoene ocourred reoently at Bone, m Algeria, at the Aquarium— a sort of itinerant menagerie. The special feature of this Aquarium consisted m a collection of np fewer than peventy crpopdileß, which were fed publicly at stated heura by the manager, M. Pernolet. He always wore a pair of Wellington boots, and had & stick with which to beat off the reptiles when they became too ravenous and attempted to snap the food out of his hands. On this occasion he was sit ting on tha back of his Jargost crocodile, and kept feeding the rest for about ten minutes, when all at onoo, as he turned his head and put out his hand to the attendant for a pieoe of meat, one of the others crawled up to him and bit him m the Blqmaoh.

He declared that the contingent was wholly inadequate, and the authorities were risking their defeat m the impend ing battle. Lord Randolph urged that negotiations should be commenced for the cessation of hostilities. The Hon E.

I anticipated a treat m the way of finding m your oolumns letters emanating from men of Christian standing ; men \jtho, from their knowledge of things Divine would not fail to lift their pens as well aa their voices m defenoe of the great principles of religion but it would appear that our olergymen, for some unknown reason, deoline to take the slightest notice of auoh a foe to the truth as «• Enquirer " seems to be, unlesa, perhaps, iq the matter of an oooasional remark from, the pulpit. No doubt you will agree, with ma m saying that our clergyman confine their teachings too mue,h to the pulpit instead of mafcinjMhemgelves conversant with the state of mind Qf those, who come under their ministrations one day out of the seven and from this source alone I believe that many are walking m darkness and gradually slipping into infidelity, but: I suppose it suits the times to find the lost Bheep searching for the Bhepherd, inctead of the shepherd for the sheep. But what about ••Enquirer?" No doubt he had a purpose m view m. going to hear Mr Munro preaoh," prc>M>ly that of hoaring his TI /T the Word, and not the truth of {he Word regarding himaelf ; m fact, euoh may be the basis of the whole misunderstand ing between him and the local clergy. Ministers of the Gospel hold ro«p,onßiW6 positions, and to aohieve suoqecg most be m «• touoh " with a higher tfowet than that of man. To be m•« touch ''•with " Enquirer's " state of mind, would, I fear, be neither mow nor 1689 than disclaiming relationship with the Supreme Being, and if Mr ftfunro'a teaohiog regarding " kinder to the living and hope for the dying" aM '^ being saved," was not of Buoh a Qhajrapjer as to strengthen the bonds of relationship betwean the Ohuroh and its Head, then " a leaf out of his book. " would be of little übo to our ole/gymen and ol very little to himself unless from a trorHly point of view. When we find 4 minister m '•touch » with the Supreme B.eingjt is then the "dry-asduaG doctrine '* becomes a living power, and. enauirsra (our friend exolnded) are thereby fought to a knowledge of the truth. No dovtbt " Enquirer "m anxious to know the truth, but it w»lld appear that the troth wanted i> not of such a oharaoter as that re pealed m the Word. ..?2. i j O A. opi . Dion , tha * oae miniatera are •• behind the times," consequently one may iDfer that, as a people, we hay% intellectu ally out-grown God's provision for man's re fiemption, but on the other hand I am ratber inclined to think that some of them are not a,t all behind the times, oh no, they can preaoh a most suitable Gospel and of suoh a char acter, as,. in my opiniou, would suit "En quirer" to tk nicety. He wants something that would counteract the " disbelief that is beooming almost universal," but I question Wb Binoerity m thiß respect, and foar that ho wants a remedy for that whioh he fails to look upon as a malady. It would be interesting to hear from him again. One who vtas kot there.
