TE AROHA TRAMWAY.

Thk monthly report on the woiking of the above tramway was submitted at the mooting- of the Pinko County Council on Thursday afternoon. Waiorongomni, Sept. 14th. Thk Churman, A-c., Piako Govsn Council. Gentlemen,— Suite my 1 Ist report thing* have assumed a more cheerful aspect, .md the leMilts of the last four vveoks hauling .ire highly s.iti .factoi y, m/., leu ing a credtUb'e balance of about £12. Tim goes to pio\e what I li.ue often befoio stated, th it had wi always plenty <>( (ju.iit/. thete would be no trouble in miking the tramway p.iy its v> iv. Keg tiding the icmov.il of the engine fiom heie, I may .state that the agent for the Kotoku -tatcd th.it he could not ship it only under \ei y favourable en-unn>t.vnee-s hiidi a>* ,\ big freshet to enable him to get tho steamer close to the crane. Seeing tin-* might not occur for many months to come, I deemed it advisable to id it by tiani. I .iccoidingly de-patchod it on Wednesday last, airiving piobably in Auckland about Fnday. The tuin table on tho platform is in a, very bad state, being entirely out of gear, and as this aiticle n (I -peak advisrdly) on the battery compain s propel ty. I would like the council to lnfotm me uliether the lepans are to bec.vnu-d out by the council or not. Please adwse at y<'ui p.irhe-t convenience, i would wish to bung Ivfoie the notice of the council the very gieat nic.insenience the men suffei tlnough not getting their pay regulaily. They aie continually giving orders on me to theii ti.idespeon'e for the amounts that are due t<> them. This is very miplu.iMiiit to me and unfair to the men, and I would respectfully solicit the council to foiward the amount ot the pay hheot every foui week". — I airi «.\,c.

A c )iisidt irablc amount of additional lewnuo had acciued to tho council of Lite. The .unoiint of licenses t.iken on the held during the List month w.is nearly £300. This would prob.ibly come to h.uid in tho couf-e of .1 fow d.iya. The li.umv.iy leturns for list week, he lurt jn-t learned, were 174 tinck-. — Cr.

"No, sir," was the indignant leplv. Oh! ho leplicd, I don't mean now, but some other night, when I c.in't go any vv hue else." Tin other week <i i.l Bank of England note was ported, simply fol led in thiee, the addtess written on the outride fold, with a half-penny postage stamp on the right hand corm-r, but nnspnb din any w.iy. The addtess was to a port in Anglesey. The Balloon Detachment of the German army have invented a balloon with electric light and telephone attachments, and capable of carrying four persons. The light is sufficiently strong to make the ground pcifcctly discernible for a distance of moie than a mile. Mrs Astok's supper to twenty of her intimate fi lends was ghen on a recent date. On this occasion the famous sen ice of solid gold was used. These yellow dishes ate seldom brought out from the Astor vault. They cost §100,000, it is said, tnough I hive heard the tigiues exaggerated to .>2.~>0 000. Anyhow, there is no gre.it extiavagauco in them, for the metal can at any time be melted into cood bullion and only the woikmanship lost. I have attended many of of the Astor entertainment-, but iu\cr one when their gold utensils weie displajed. A fnend uho has had that inestimable privilege dcclaied that s-lie didn't enjoy the ex peiiencc \eiy much, aftei all. '*Iv the tiist place,' she said, " the eatables wete comp'etely ovetenmc and dominatid by the plates on which th'-y weio served. The daintiebt mor&els seemed to have no flavour at all, and alter a w Idle I fancied that they became impicgnated with n peculiar metallic taste. And then I got it into my bu.td that the man sitting opposite me was a detective in disguise, placed there to see that I didn't slip a plate into my bodice. He was aftei wards introduced to me, and I had reason to believe that his coveit glances had been purely sentimental, but they spoiled my supper all the ?anic, No, thank you, fine china ware is good enough for me. — Cincinnatti Kiu]uucr. AcuowiiLb meeting was held at Sydney to exptess sympathy with the people of tnc United States at the death of Geneial Grant. The principal spcakeis were Bishop Bany, Consul Gnlfen, and the Hon. W. B Dallcy. The lattel said : — "Crowded with the glory of a victory iutinitcly mote eventful and momentous in its conscque.iees to humanity than any in modern history, his mind remained as tranquil, his demeanour,is calm as that ot the youngest and humblest subaltern in the mighty army which he lommanded. His thought was not of himself, but of his great and cluvalious and vanquished opponent. When I read for the tirst time, many yen is ago, his lettere to General Lee dining those two days, and the story of his final interview with him, at the Appomattox Com t house, on the 9th April lSlij, I thought I had never 1 before read moie Minnie, heroic and touching letteis. It is impossible to rend them to day without emotion. The love of peace rcstoied which they breathe, the ditail of lesponsibility before God ami man for an increased effusion of blood, the piofound itspoct for and sympathy with his great antagonist overwhelmed, and above all his magnanimous towns of surrender, make these letters, written in the midst of blood, and horrors, and disaster, some of the most affecting things in our bteiatu-e. They should be printed, anc read, and learned in our schools, as examples of perfect nobility. What a true gentleman this great soldier was! We bewail with you the loss which your nation was sustained. The death of such man is a calamity to the world,"
