The Telegraph and tub Home Mail, # — We are glad to hear that it is the inten- $ tiou of the Government at once to com- jjp mence the line of telegraph connecting us $* with Otago. The recent change in the P mail service renders this more than ever ||' desirable. By the new time table which gj 1 will come in force at the commencement W of the year, the Aldingaisto leave Mcl- rf 8 bourne for Port Chalmers with the mail $° on the 10th of the month, and return with f n the homeward mail on the 18th. The § people of Otago will thus be able to answer t ci their letters by return of mail. We fear , that it will be impossible for as to sharejin J* this great benefit, though if we had a better <J? £ boat in the place of the Queen, it might f$ r just be possible to receive and answer our Rf letters by the return mail. Under any fsy circumstances the public of Canterbury $j a( should be able to communicate by tele- c graph with Dunedin, so as to save a month ty in their correspondence with England. % l This would prove a very great benefit both !;'• to the Government and mercantile com- $ c ' munity, and we trust that not a single day f 9 ( will be lost in proceeding with ihe neces- :*8 € sary work. — Lyttlelon Times. *** jr?bf Boulogne Gossip. — During the past week jjj c i there has been some celebrities at Boulogne, \1 who have created a kind of sensation in J' ' certain circles. The parties to whom we \f° allude, although in. no way associated or con- i; - :^° nected, obtained their notoriety through the instrumentality of the law courts. Consider- $ c ing who the parties are, this is a coincidence |? a that is rather striking. Mr. and Mr. Wynd- B* ? ham are at this moment sojournying infl" 1 Boulogne, and evidently with no intention itly of being the quietest of the visitors, for theyrabl are especially conspicuous. Mr. Wyndham jtat< has a very rakish-looking yacht lying in theme 1 harbor, which we have not yet seen at sea.^t • She is quite new, and is called the Rosalind.Li r { Mrs. Wyndham and her sister make morning£i cs i visits to her. The Establissement in Boulogne*- •', is of course a very popular rendezvous for.?? Sl j the young and the gay, and the Friday??^, evening balls are always well attended. Lastf • , Friday there was a general rush, as it was**?* generally whispered about that the heir to{f nn the Fellbrigge estate and the lady would beat's amongst the guests. The lady and her pistersjnii were present, but the gentleman was not. ye i The other celebrity at this moment in Boul-^jng ogne, to whom we have alluded, is Mrs. e ; i j K Yelverton (Theresa Longworth), who, by Q n i another rather odd coincidence, is staying in- + ;, the same hotel as the Wyndhams. She is,^ t i of course, much quiter in her demeanor, and> is not so well known when she moves abroad,/! 1 j She is accompanied by a livery servant.
