SAN Francisco, Aug. 13.-The steamship
Ajax from Honolulu with mails aud passen-
gers from Auckland, New Zealand per steamship
Nevada, July 18th, has arrived, and brings Aus
tralian news.
New Zealand advicesl state that the general in
terest and excitement over the Thames gold
fields continues undated, greatly iniuring other
business. Speculation in mining shares has
become perfect mania.
The journals complain that at Napier on the
Queens birthday, the courts continued their
sessions, and the provincial councillors did not
even lift their hats when the national anthem
was played.
Three Fijan chiefs, bound for Europe, and
the principal bishop of Dunedin, bound for
England, arrived by the Ajax.

The REMITTANOEs sent by previous emil
grants to their friends in Great Britain amount
ed in 1870 to 81, 637 ,O4O transmitted from North
America, and 1920 from Australia The pro-
portion Of this sum sent in prepaid passage GER
tifcates amounted to 81 ,633, 100. The British
emigrant commissioners assume that the price
of the passage of each adult to the United States
was S26.25, and that the 1929 persons who
emigrated from Ireland in 1870, were equivalent
to $4,000 adults. On this basis the passage
money of the emigrantS to the United States in
1870 amounted to $1,732,5OO, or only $69,31O
more than the passage money sent from Amer
lea. The returns of the British emigration
commissioners show that, during the twenty
three years from 1S4S to 1870, there have been
RENTED by emigrants, through banks and
commercial houses, upwards of ss1 $4,000 to
friends in Great Britain, and no account has
been taken of the sums sent through private
hands.

SPoILING HORSES FEET.-It is almost i'm
possible to get horse shod without having the
frogs cut away. All veterinary surgeons, all
horsemen, all leading blacksmiths. agree that
the frog should not be pared one particle,-not
even trimmed. No matter how pliable and soft
the frog is, cut it away smooth on all sides, and
in two days it will be dry and hard as a chin
You might as well cut off all the leaves of trees
and expect them to flourish as to pare away tbe
frog and have healthy foot. The rough,
spongy part of the frog is to the foot what
leaves are to the tree-the lungs.
2. Never have red-hot shoe put upon the
foot to burn it level. If you can find black
smith that is mechanic enough to level the foot
without red-hot iron, employ him. The burn
ing process deadens the hoof and tends to con-
tract it. If you do not think so, try the red-hot
poker on your 6nger-nail, and see how it will
affect the growth of that.
There are many other important points in
shoeing horses, but these two are of more i'm
portance than all the rest, level to the appre-
hension of men not skilled in horses, and the
Two most dsregarded.

THE TELEGRAPH CIRCUIT OF THE WORLD
At Ithe banquet which Cyrus W. Field gave
at Richmond, England, a fortnight since, in
honor of the fifth anniversary of the laying of
the Atlantic cable, very interesting facts con-
cerning the telegraph circuit of the world were
announced. 1t seems that during this month
Shanghai in China will be connected with the
new Russian naval station on the Pacific, and
also with Japan November will see the COM
pletion of cable between Singapore and Aus
tralia. As soon as California and Japan are
united instantaneous communication between
the FIVE continents will have been accomplished.
Mr.. Field will doubtless live to see even greater
triumphs than this. And to him, too, NAV
justly be ascribed more and more honor daily
for the enterprises already completed. Sir
Charles Wingfeld, in speech at the above
mentioned banquet, stated that Indian subma-
rine telegraphy was greatly indebted to the sue
cessful pioneers of the Atlantic cables. The In
dian enterprise failed in 1859, and it was not
until after the Atlantic cable was finished,
in 1866, that there was courage enough for an
attempt to lay deep sea line between the
lsthmus Of Suez and Bombay. At the end OF
the present year the Telegraph Construction
Company" will have laid down 1880 miles OF
cable, involving capital of So, 100000.
