THE WINNEK OF THE DERBY. It is a terrible thing in England to become celebrated in any way, but above all, in any way involving tlio presumption of an accession of money. Every secretary of every society writes at once for a sub scription, or requests him to take up the position of steward of the annual dinner, and to say how many guinea tickets he will take. Lord Falrwouth has been addressed through every post since he won the Derby by correspondents equally un known, aiid unnumbered, with the most unheard-of requests, all based upon the assumption that having won the great race, he must be at a loss what to do with his inexhaustible treasures a»d time. One unknown correspondent coolly asks him to stand godfather for Ids son. The Max about the Clubs.

What They Say in London.

[Written foe the Evening Star]

London, August 31. THE TELEPHONE. _ THE ."reat topic of conversation in the club 3 has keen the meeting of the British Association of Science at Plymouth, under the presidency of Sir William Thompson. And the most striking " event" of the meeting was the introduction of the Telephone, the American invention by which sound can be transmitted along wires, and which allows persons to corres pond, in their own natural voices, over long distances. The experiments at Plymouth included a conversation "with a person hi the post-office at Exeter, where the applause of the Plymouth audience -was distinctly heard; questions were asked and replied to intelligibly, and even songs, SUIK* by request at one place, were plainly heard at the other. Sir W. Thomson has great ideas of tho possible uses to which the telephone may be put, and anticipates the time when merchants will be summoned to the telegraph office to hold confidential conversations with a distant correspondent; and that it will be even possible to utter a whisper at Liverpool which should be heard at New York, and yet be unrecognised by a friend standing at the side of the speaker. It is difficult to" explain the telephone to an unscientific reader, but I will make the attempt. The telephone, then, consists of a strong ordinary magnet, to the two extremities or poles of which are attached properly insulated'telegraph wires. Just in front of the extremities of the magnet there is a thin plate of iron, and in front of this there is a mouthpiece or speaking tube. .By this last the sounds which are to be transmitted are collected and concentrated, and, falling on the iron-plate, cause it to vibrate. These vibrations excite in the two wires electric currents, which correspond exactly with the vibra tions themselves ; that is to say, with the original sounds. If now the two wires are connected with an ordinary line of tele graph, specially insulated for the purpose, the" sounds can be transmitted to any distance, and on arriving at their destination are reproduced by a precisely similar apparatus. LADY SCIENTISTS.

The silence of the ladies at the British Association has offered another topic for pleasant gossip. It is said that Mrs Craw shay had. prepared a paper on " Lady Helps," and that the Committee of Sec tions declined to receive it, as not suffi cie/itlv of a scientific character. It has been hinted that the Committee were influenced by an apprehension that the purely scientific sections would have been left with sparse audiences during its delivery. In fact, the Economic Section has excited considerable jealousy, and it is suggested that it should be discontinued altogether. THE IRREPRESSIBLE GRANT,

JUNIOR

There are going about the drawing rooms two characteristic stories respecting the visit of General Grant and his son to Windsor Castle. In the dining-room there were two tables, and Grant minor was placed at the second, where sat the Lords-m-Waiting. But his republican soul swelled with indignation that he, son of the ex-President, should not be put in one of the very first places, and rising from his ■ chair he loudly exclaimed, " If I don't take my seat at that other table I quit." Eventually one of the Queen's guests pave place to the irate youth. After dinner Her Majesty was conversing with General Grant, somewhat apart, when up came the irrepressible Grant _ minor, and thus addressed his astonished sire : "I say, father, just introduce me to the Queen, rr'ht away." Her Majesty took *he matter —as it only could well be taken—as a

joke ; trat she must have had some diffi culty in keeping her countenance, -when he added: "I* guess, Queen, I'm about the

that ever was introduced to you

this fashion."'

MR. Yv HALLE V

It appeared somewhat singular that the first member of the House of Commons to fall under the new rule devised to restrain the obstructive action of a few Irish repre-

sentatives, .should have been an English man. But not at all singular that he should he Mr Whalley, the eccentric and irrepres sible member for Peterborough. Persisting in addressing the House, after being twice called to order by the Speaker, that digni tary reported to the House that the member for "Peterborough disregarded his authority; upon which it was Timanimous>ly resolved, upon the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he be not heard during the debate.

SUNSTROKE

Our physicians have been discussing a subject somewhat interesting to you, sun stroke. They appear to have arrived at the conclusion that danger lies not so much in the degree of temperature, as in the degree of change. That a man might safely expose himself in the open air to a very high temperature if such had been gradually reached by slow gradations. While expos ure to a much lower degree would be dan gerous, if not fatal, if it had been suddenly attained from a yet lower one.

TURKS V. RUSSIANS.

Notwithstanding the noble stand made by the Turks, and the serious checks they have inflicted upon the Russians, I hold to my previously expressed opinion that the latter will be ultimately successful. The rapid manner in which Prussia defeated Austria, and the Germans overran France, has led the public to expect a continuous sweep on the rjait of the stronger party. But whatever the ultimate sweep, Turkey has raised herself in the opinion of Europe as a military power. The sustained effort against the difficulties of the Schipka, Chipka, or Shipka Pass—for the word is variously spelt—is highly creditable, both to com manders and soldiers. If Turkey falls, she will earn in her fall ja respect which has long been denied to her. ENGLISH CUSTOMS IN TIUKEY, Saxon institutions and customs appear to be pushing their way into every corner of the world, a gentleman writing from the {?eat of vrar says : —" The English appear ance of everything, but the people them selves, is very remarkable. My railway ticket says : ' From. Rustchuk to Shumla road,' and on the inside of the carriage I read the familiar words, ' This compart ment is intended for eight persons. ! I heard some very plain Saxon words indeed called out by the engine-drivers to their friends at the several stations we passed. But mingled with these English signs and words,are sight and sound which soon remind one tluit Sheytandjik, a ■station where three-quarters of an hour is allowed for refreshment, is not Swindon. In the train one large third-class compart ment is filled by a harem of Yasbmaked women and some sweetly pretty children of various nges», clad in bed-gowns like robes of many colors. Their lord travels in our j carriage,'and a chair is placed for him on j the platform, where lie sits sipping lemonade j without taking the slightest notice of the ladies, whose black attendant is doling out water^to them and the children through their open windoAV." MIDHAT PASHA IN ENGLAND.!

Midhat Paslia visited the House of Com mons, and was much astonished at the whole of its arrangements. He "was much struck with the grating in front of the Je.dies|galleTy, and on being told whatßt was, "■leefaliy exclaimed, "and you accuse us of shutting up our women." Sir Mutu Coomara Swany, native states man aud barrister of Ceylon, who is married to an English lady of good family, not long since issued a onrious social edict to the c-:."-: ■'•;!* u.-sHi-'lors paying their respect 1,.: Lady Swrnjy, could not be received by hti &ilv*lV», unless accompanied by a isuiy.

HITCHEN' CELEBRATED BLOOD r RESTORER. A NEVER-FAILING REMEDY. tTor all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and ' uurnbago, likewise cures Chronic Dysentry, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. N To bottles are genuine unless beaoing the Pro prietor's Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS, Queen-street, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold by MrJ. Eidso^, Chemist. Queen-street. Mr A. G. Hughes, corner of Shortlund and Princes-streets; Mr Robix^ox, Chemist, Par nell; Messrs Hill & Hudsox, Victoria-street: Mr Famavell, Otahuhu; and .Mr Samuel Fall\vell, Onehunga. Testimonials can be seen on application to the Proprietor, at his residence, top of Wake field-street. _ * > The strongest recommendation for this medi cine is its own intrinsic worth, as shewn by the marvellous cures effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The est proof of this is to be found in the large number of testimonials received by the maker, thankfully acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. At tho request of those already cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer" more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain hope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated disease, and averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, Sec, has long been felt a3 one of the greatest calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive, this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to give the Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial. And the Praprietor would have it dis tinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful effect upon the blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and m vigorating system. Impurity 'and' inactivity of? the blood ia the cause of most sickness and pains. After a course of this medicine, blood vessels—which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter —become exhilirant with pure scarlet lite-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en tire system. N.B,— Country Settlers will find in Hitchens" Blood Restorer an almost complete substitute for the Doctor. It arrests Colds. allay 3 Feverß, and builds up the system. Children take it with wonderful results. No household should be without it. MIRACULOUS CURE. AFTEB UNAVAILING MEDICAL AID AND OTHER REMEDIES HAD FAILED. Auckland, October, 1877. Sir, —Having suffered severely from rheuma tism for many months, and tried various treat ment, but to no purpose, Had given up all hope of getting relief. After seeing you, I made up my mind to try your " Blood Restorer," which soon proved, as you stated, an effectual cure. I have been free from the excruciating agonies of the above for the past twelve months, and can recommend it to others suffering from the same complaint. Respectfully yours, (Signed) H Lewis. ToMrH. Hitchons, Wakefleld-street, Auckland. Drake-street, Auckland, October, 1877.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.; E. WAT E R S Has very great pleasure to announce that since I bis removal into Mr. Dyson's late shop, his £&■ DINING ROOMS =®a have been renovated at great expense, witb | every regard to the convenience of his cus- j toniers. ; The LOWER SALOON isth<j most spacious and comfortable, as well | as the best ventilated Dining Room in the Pro- j vince; and Up-stairs he has furnished an extra ; room, of comfortable size, to prevent over- j crowding. Thore are SPECIAL ROOMS FOR LADIES also up-stairs, to which are attached side offices j provided with ablutionary and other conven- j iences. His Table he feels confident needs no j recommendation. The liberal patronage of the j Professional and Commercial Gentlemen of the ! City which he has received for a period of over eight years ia a guarantee that the Bill of Fare is such as will please the most fastidious. EVERY DEIJCCACY OF THE SEASON is always to be obtained. British Magazines, Illustrated and Co mic Jour nals, together with the leadiag London News papers, are laid on the tables immediately on the arrival of each mail steamer. He, therefore, hopes with son.o confidence that he will, in his New Premises, continue to receive the large share of patronage which has been accorded to him in the past. E. W. wishes also to draw the attention of Merchants and Storekeepers to his locally manufactured Confections, which rival those of Keiller and the best English makers. He has removed his Factory to Durham street West, where he has fitted up all the most modern machinery of the trade. E. WATERS, Wholesale and Retail Confectioner, AUCKLAND.
