American Welcome. —. " Who's there ?" said; Jenkins, onecold winter night,'disturbed in his repose by sorhe one ; knocking at the, street door. " A friend," was the answer. '' What do yon.want ?" " Want to stay here all night." ■ " Queer taste—stay there by means," was the benevolent reply. The 'Bruce Herald' " Traveller " re- , ports upon a water-raising apparatus in Jise, at Alexandra The coal pits of Mr. Oharnock, about a mile i above . the town, are most deserving,of a visit, not only on 1 pccount of theft great value as producers .of a most useful fuel; but also because one haS;the advantage of seeing the work of a side-delivery current wheel,, which lifts the water, from the shaft of the pit. These wheels, which are made by Mr Charnock, are verypowerful, that gentleman assure jng me that he could lift w'ater 200 feet b.V this .means Could not this' class of wheel be made subservient to lifting water' from such river 3 as the Maerewhenua at the low levels, such as opposite the Golden' Spur, Reid and Co. They might be used for months in the year, when the river is high, for lifting the large' surplus : water which finds its way down the river at this point. I have no doubt that the Eureka party, Thomas and Co., would make two heads very useful at this level. Mr. Charnock would confer a benefit on the gold diggings of Otago' should he ; give the public a description of this invaluable Viator power, as by its aid the fertilisation pf our sandy plain* would be rendered secure, and instead of barren wastes such as, j;he. seven ■ miles between - Alexandra and Clyde, and also between Cromwell and Loiighnan's station, where the sand in places actually lies in drifts, there would' spring'Up verdure and shady trees, where fruit and flowers, might aid to comfort, en- •. fich, and beautify the home of man. A "Sydney telegram to the Melbourne Press states that " the French 'Government has telegraphed for further particulars as,to the escape of the, Communists from New Caledonia, as they cannot be- , jieve it" It is mentioned, alsothat Roche- -' fort intends to sail for England at once, and then to pass over to Switzerland,; where he will await the turn of affairs in „ France. _ ■[ t ■ Tt may interest some to know that the . special correspondent sent by the ' Times' ' to St. Petersburg to describe the festivities connected with the Duke pf Edinburgh's marriage was Mr. F. N. Broome, < formerly a Settler in (Janterburv.
