DUNEDIN.

October 4—Another blunder has been dis covered in the legislation of last session. The Sale for the j> on-payraent of Kates Act provides, in section 3, that interest at the rate ot fifteen per cent, shall be charged on all rates paid by the Superintendent; whereas, in i^eit.ion 4, which provides that the Superinten dent shall register a memorial in the form of a schedule it is there stated that the interest shall be 25 per cent. The Act is considered void. .

October s.—The telegraph question is at tracting attention. The Daily Times points out that the practice of restricting messages to a length of 200 words at a time is contrary to the printed regulations, which except English mail press telegrams from the restriction, and that, therefore, om the arrival of last English telegrams, the Grovernme.it acted unlawfully in imposing a restriction. —Ie is believed that the arrival of the Gothenburg on Thursday night, with the English mail telegrams, was made ttuovra the same night in Dunedin, Christ i-hurch, and Wellington.

TARANAKI.

Nelson, October 5. —By tbe Airedale we have late dates from Tdranaki, bin the news is limited—As Titokowarit passed through Opunake, on liis way inland, his followers robbed t!ie flax milis of a number of small ariieles. Tuey also stole GO sheep, the pro perty of the friendly natives, and refused to return them. The friendlks went in pursuit^ but were driven ba..-k by an armed free of rebels. The friendlies were very angry, and held a meeting at which it was said that, the case was one for fighting. The Europeans interfered to prevent their following to fight Tito. The latter, however, ultimately left the sheep, except ten which had been eaten, being afraid of the friendlies fighting him. —Flax mills in various parts of ihe province are wurking. —A smart shock of earthquake was felt in faranaki at 2.20 p in. on Monday, it lasted about 15 seconds. Goods were knocked off shelves by it, and some chimneys were moved.

AN EDINBURGH DIVORCE CASE.

In a late divorce case heard at Edinburgh — Walker v. Walker, Grant and others—it tran spired ia the evidence that the guilty parties hud corresponded by means of advertisements as well as the post office. The letters and ad vertisements were full of the most absurdly endearing phraseology. Tho letters or.ly bore the day of the wick ; they began with " My darling Junie," or " My dearest Janie," and toncluileri with '' JJYradest and truest love, ever yours affectionately, Pet.'' One of the expres sions was •-" For the present we are powerless, powerless, dearest Janie." At another place it was stated that if she had to leave for her health tho separation would be something dreadful. * gain, it was stated that "he had sen her at the S.G\, that he was glad to see the S.GK closed upon her, and that sho was under cover." Also that on one oc casion "he had seen her from the window of Profe3sor Simpson's houss—that his heart was in his mouth when ho saw her —but that she did not see poor him." At one place the writer said, he had seen her in her "carriage like

" Little Red Riding Hood," and that he had passed the carriage scores of times, and it was so tantalising that she did not recognise him. In oue of the letters he stated that that morn ing's post hal brought him perplexity and sor. ow, and that he expected to be tele graphed to go to Italy. In one of the adver tisements to the Scotsman, which was not in serted, the handwriting, said the witness, was Mrs. Walker's. It is certainly rather too strong, even for an "agony" column. She wrote in the third person, and said "she wished him to come to his darling, and hold her hand in his until her wee peeps were closed in slumber." Another advertisement was in these terms: —" How unlike you, D. P., to inflict one pang. Come to your broken bird. I sigh for you as an exile sigb.3 for his native suns. Come, that I may l«y my head on its haven of rest, feel your fond caresses, and listen to the soft murmur o' your voice." Witness wa* shown a file of the Sco 'swan and directed to look at various adver tisements in the " agony" column. He iden tified the following as those the manuscript "f which had been abstracted :—On the 6th January—" Thanks, (many), D. P., for yours. Fear much am a tax. Pray don't come hour mentioned unless perfectly convenient. On the 15th January—" How -well you know, darling. Am also thinking of thee, and wish much to greet you thus, E. P." On the 18th —" Dearest F., disappointed you did not ob serve me last Sabbath. Hope you won't be so far away next." And on the same day— " How truly sorry I am, my pet, to hear you are still suffering. Do take care, dearie: shall teel miserable this evening in festive throng."—D. P." On the 3rd February— " Dearest Petal,- Fairy coutinues improving. God ever bless thee for thy love. Has good news to impart." That was in the lady's handwriting too. On the sth—" Pray, dearest let me not die for love. I cannot get a -wink of sleep" ; and more to the same gush ing effect.
