It has never been H same cable since its Constitution receiied severe shock in December, 1875, when it *,' broken, and though it was within a ram carefully spliced there has ever since bee. a weakness at the spot. The cableu is, from White's Bay, seven miles from _.]__, heim, to Lyell's Bay. distant from Wellfc... ton three miles. Blenheim is the statin. where all cable work is takeu off and-ft! The Australian cable reaches New _«. land soil at Wakapuaka (about 5 _X north of Nelson) where all i__e___o s through it are taken off and started alretk English telegrams from Sydney are in flu habit of arriving during the small houm. the morning, but we are informed that t_> operators are rapt from their slumbers genV rally for only about half-an-hour. Telegrui lines and railways do not yet run side* side in New Zealand as they ought to £ and as they will do in lite future. | England the railway system would, uitetjY collapse without telegraphy. In its i.bsebct accidents would first mm the compank aud then frighten everyone from travelling, in fact, chaos would be come again, have ourselves felt the inconvenience nrisi. from the want of it in connection with ot. .\'ew Zealand railways, and vividly r___et_. ber impatiently waiting some hours fon train, which had got lost no one could ttß where. The plan of employing female, j. . telegraph offices does not seem to have any ceeded here as it has in England, % colonial girls, it is said, do not acquire tht requisite skill at the instrument. This-.. great pity from a financial point of view for we believe the authorities at home effect a considerable saving by employing femalet, who are willing to receive smaller waga than their competitors of the sterner set It is also a pity for another reason: Suitable occupations for women are not too plentiful, and here is one which at present is bam. against them. For most of the facts contained in tbe foregoing weareindebtcd to Mr Maginni.j*. valuable paper, which, as we remarked above, contains a large amount of higblj interesting information, conveyed in a Terr <jlear and compact style.

Correspondence.

Letters are again accumulating, and we would beseech correspondents to keep their communications short, especially during the sitting of Parliament. . . «• Sufferer" sends a letter similar in effect to oue condensed in our columns a few ■ days a-o, 'complaining of the stoppage of convenfent boats, and irregularly ot time in the performance of the North Shore Ferry Service. „ „ Aa + t,„ '■ An Old Identity " says : " Aatno Government are about to make reductions in the number of Civil Servants, I think it might be represented to them that a con siderable saving might bo effected in the Public Works Department ot this district without in the slightest degree impairing its C "FAIRPeAY," writing from Coromandel, defending Mr Kenrick from the personal attack made upon him in connection with the refusal of licenses at the Thames, says tis well known that "Mr .KwngJJ" not the mover in the matter at all, but that the idea of reducing .the number ofheenses on the Thames originated with one of the local Commissioners, and was unanimously endoised by the others;" and he adds "It is much to be regretted that this attempt to injure a good officer h/|f feen made They are uot very plentiful in Government offices, and Mr Kenrick'- indo pendent manner of conducting the business of his office is proof of his freedom from outside influences. His principal offending, as far as can be observed here, is that he does not frequent all the pot-houses and discuss the business that has or is to come before him judicially."

DANCING.

(To the Editor.) SIR,—I was wrong to " rush into print;" but allow me to refute very uutrue things said in yesterday's letters in your paper, after this" I will leave the subject, whatever may be written by " Jackstraw " or others. I was asked by Mr West to attend on Friday nHit, purposely to see the new dances— which both the STAR and "Herald' aver were all danced. Mr West himself sold the ticket and saw Miss Kill endorse it. 1 =aw the dance advertised .a week back ; tickets to be obtained at Hoffmann',--, Miss Hill's, or of Mr West, till Friday I thought and knew no more about it, and had not the least idea it was a private affair. I crave pardon if I intruded ; people Were so kind and pleasant to me I was not made to fee] my sin ; but it strikes ma many strangers were there besides myself. Mr West has twice applied for the situation held by me in "the piincipal school in the city." 1 offered him the class at a given salary per hour—not as my assistant. I did so think ing there might be an advantage of new ideas for the pupils. I repeat there }<-, nothing new. '1 he dance he calls " The New Spanish Dunce" I have taught for years and it came to me from America. My norn de plume could not have been meant to conceal the writer ; I meant all to know who wrote. I have not yet found that one. of my pupils has left me for. Mr West, and he has offered ma a considerable salary to give him my class and teach with him at all the schools. 1 have refused, his proposal I do not think " Jaclcstr-W " will help.Mi. West by the sweeping assertions against our dancing. They are most unjust. I say at Ponsonby really good dancers and dane ing—middle-aged people- whose dancing Mi West has certainly had nothing to do with. The." spleen ot a rival" did not lead me to make unjust and untrue remarks. I can not imagine what "guise of friendship " 1 have assumed to the Dancing Master.— Yours &c., G.L. (To the Editor.) SIR, —I was greatly amused by reading Mr Allan West's letter in the Star last evening in reply to " Grace Lightfoot." 1. must commend Mr West for his good sense. He does not answer anonymous correspon dents, but' when he gets a Chance of a fret ad veriiscment in your widely-circulated paper he very wisely departs from his rule. Of course, I do not wish to question Mr West's veracity when he states that he sold no tickets except to tho members of hi> Ponsonby class or their friends, but, that being the case, how did it happen that there were some gentlemen (?) at the dance whom none of the Pousonby ladies knew, and whn wero so Biiblimely ignorant of ball-room ctiauette that they asked ladies to whom they had not been introduced to dance with them. With regard to the style of dancing. it Mr West would like to see it in operation! let him go to a village dance at Otahuhu or Panmuro, and there he will see the young men and maidens dancing in what I know > as the " old fashioned, graceful style," and which is almost identical with the, " new style "of Mr West.—l am, &cw, John Lightfoot.

BAD ROADS.

(To the Fditor.) - : j Sia, —I quite agree with the remarks that fell from Captain McKenzie lasti.night; ' that the approach from the (ity of Auck- ' land to Parnell was n diegrace to the City I Council, and I think .the sooner they mend ■ their ways the.better. Fancy a short piece of road like the cutiing through Fort Brito mart being allowed to remain in it«i present state, alike dangerous to vehicles nnd pedestrians, through the winter months. It would seem to imply that membeis of the City Council do not live in that direc tion. I have heard it said, that Parnell -vrould do well to join tho city. Ido not see it. ' Bather than that, I should say that New market should join Parnell, and become a ' really influential Borough. There interests I are identical, and the cost of management would be no greater than it is at present for one. However, I will not enter further, into the n.ncstioii of annexation at present, but. would remind the city fat.iers that they owe something to the Parnell people, as-they draw a considerable revenue at present from license fees from 'busses, cafcs.and carts, that cut up the Parnell roads unmercifully, without confributtngsixpence to their maintenance,—[am, &c, i a.Paknelii Man. Parnell, July 6th. 18S0.

FIRE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l was very glad to see in a lato issue that " Insurer" had called attention lo this subject in a common sense letter, and I hope the public will continue to agitate until the Insurance Companies are more reasonable in their demands. Insurance against loss by fire is so necessary-that eyery'busincss man looks upon it as one of his trade expenses; but he" also considers whether he can afford the high '.ates, just as he would consider the rents of premises. Then he says, if we tax ourselves for a water supply wc ought to get our ratei lowered. But he finds that they are about doubled, and that the Insurance Coiapanic are reaping the benefit and not the rate payers. iSow.sir, I have just been think ing of what (ires we have had lately—one at the corner of Albert and Victoria streets, one at the corner of Victoria and Hobson streets, and one near the Governor Browne Ho-*el iv _ Hobson-street. All these were put out immediately, as anyone can see if they take the trouble to look, whcica. if it had not been for the Water Supply whole block*-- would have been burnt. Why, sir it would almost feem as if the Insurauce Companies were determined to punish us for getting them water; iv fact they like a fire now and then to frightcu i/ropl, into insuring, and now they find that th» public have contidmce in the Water Supply they double their rale, to make up for loss of customers. This won't do, sir, aad 1 hope some office will have the courage to break through the monopoly and go witb the times.—l am,&c,, Householder.

TELEGRAPHY IN NEW ZEALAND.

DR. GRAN T. Has arrived in Auckland, and may bo consulted at his consulting Rooms, Clarotnont Houso, Princes Street Hours of A ttondanco : Morning, 10 till 1; After noon, 2 till 5; Saturdays, Morning only. Blindness and Deafness. By the kind, invitation of Professor Wallen burg and Dr. Grant; tho editor ot this journal, in company with the editor of tho Saturday Adver tisor, visited their consulting rooms, at the Cruorlon Hotel, yesterday morning. The first case thown wa3 that of a Miss White, age 11 years, tho daiightor of a rcttlerat Oamaru, who has b<en totaly blind for years. This young lady has been under th**> treatment of these clever oculists for threo days, and wonderful to say, hori eyesight has been perfectly restored; The father tf the'girl assured us, that he had placed her under the cure of several medical men » ho had failed to do her any good, despite the money he had lavished upon her. Tho next was a ca«e of Mi-s Hughes, a Dunedin resident, who stated that i-he had been deaf for a period ef ov»r three years. Strange to s..y. she has only been under treatment for eight days, and her hearing has been fully restored. Thia fortunate girl is nearly In ecstacies over her good fortune. Tho neat subjeoi under treat ment, was a libonrer. named Patrick Fr.nein. working at Logan's Point, who informed us that latterly ho was struck in the rig-a eye with a xtono. by which ho lost his sight and of late his left oyo has been materially affected by the blind ono; but, thanks to the skill of Professor Wallenburg, he h»s now re covered the sight of his two oyo<?, and 'sable to discern tho smallost print. Herman Schultz, of Hyde, was the last patient introduced. He stated that ho had been totally deaf fcr years, end that ho had been only undor treatment for a (owdays, and nowhecouldhearplainly. These gentlemen havo numerous other oases under treatment. Tha cases that we havo imtancod should bo sufficient to remove any doubt from tho most scoptical. All the patients that are now under treatment havo been tampered with by tho medical profession with no satisfactory result, and this, in the major portion of cases, causes moro aggravation, and makes efloctual euro more difficult. The above cases clearly' illu-itrate that Dr. Grant and Professor Wal lenburg are, without, doubt, what they profess to bo—Oculists, Aurists, and Specialists. We would strongly recommend I those who are either afflicted -with blindness or deafness to consult tho io gentlemen at once, as their slay here is limited.—Evening Tribune, Dunedin, t'eptember 21th, 1879. Wo oan conscientiously recommend those Buttering from deafness or other ailments that Dr. Grant has mado a special study of, to pay him a visit, when, if curable patients, they may certainly expect relief. An instance came under I our notice on Thursday, in tho case of a man named Charle. Swanson, whohas been very deaf for threo years, but, after ten days' treatment, can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. Tho cure is a rather remarkab'e one. as he has been under the core of many medical men, but has received no'benefit whatever from their treatment, "Now" Zealnnder," December 27th, 1879. Mr Ernest D'Egvillo Michau called at our office yesterday, and stated that ho had been blind with hi. right eye all his lifetime. Hear ing about Dr. Grant and. Professor' Wallenburg, tho oculists, who are now on a visit to this city, ho determined to give them a trial. Ho had ! only been under Dr. Grant's treatment ten or e'even days when he found' that he could see largo objects at some distanc9. Mr Miohau stated that.he had been under the treatment of some of the best medical men at, homo, but had not received the slightest benefit. We are at aU time 3 chary of accepting: details of ** Wonderfu cures," but tho joung man who called at onr office appeared to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Grant for the relief hel has already experienced.—"New Zealand Times " 25th December 1879, : AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.. TO THE KDITOR. Sin,-—You will much oblige mo, as well as the tho public in general, by inserting in your columi s regarding the cure effected on my right eye which was totally blind when I placed myself under tho treatment of Doctors Grant and Wallenburg. I also found myself losing the sight of the left eye. I have now recovered my siKht, anfl am going to work to-morrow. Out of . gratitude to those gentlemen, allow me to thank them, and hope all-hose suffering from the eye may avail themselves of their skill.—l am. &c:, 1 Patrick Francis, Witness—W. J. Bawdkn.

Dr. Grant is also Specialist in tho Diseases Of W omen and Children. Dr. Grant has recently effected a very remark able cure in the' case of Mrs D. Evans, of Kumara, who ha-- been under his treatment for deafneßs since the Uth February last. -Mrs , Kvaus has been deaf in both ears for averylong time—no less than thirty years—her affliction having been caused by a fever, from which she suffered.severely. Sinoe that time she has been almost totully deaf, for sho could only hear the loudest sounds. Since she has been under Dr. Grant's treatment her hearing has gradually improved, so that now she can hear plainly con versation in an ordinary tone of voico. Sho will return in a few days to Kumara perfectly well and in possession of tho full faculty of which she has been so long deprived.—" West Coast Tlmos," 10th March, 1880. One of tho employes in the Public Works Ofllce here has sent us tho following testimonial to the sitill of Dr. Grant. He says:-'.'
