cannot close without d1ing a few
notes which occur to me now. The ba-
rometer here changes very rapidly. In
fact, the climate of Dunedin is very va
riablc, presenting often tho phases Of
spring, summer, autumn and whitehall
within the "a hours. This is quite harsh
to invslids, though it seems to suit the
hardy folks very well. 1t is just the
kind Of an atmosphere to make business
brisk and stirring. Even at this season,
corresponding TO our August, though it
is warm, not hot, in tho sunshine at
noon. Sudden, cold puffs Of wind come
up from the sea, only ono and one-half
miles distant, and chill one to the very
marrow. Another singular fact is the
frequent occurrence of u warm (the peo-
pie call It oven sultry) wind at night, af
ter prevailing cold wind during the
day. l have noticed one marked in
stance of this, but DIR. c. informs me
that it is very common, not only here
but in Melbourne and Sidney. 1t
seems to me that every one in Dunedin

John Mcintyre was a colored
Methodist preacher, in Somer-
set county, H., who aspired
to be a regular pastor. His
power as an exhorter was great,
and he was a constant revival
worker. The presiding elder
was expected as a visitor by
Mcintyre, who, no doubt, be-
lievcd that good fare might af-
feet his chances for promotion.
His larder was bare, and in the
emergency be stole g hog from
a neighbor's pen, killed It, and
made ready to feed some Of it
to the presiding elder. How
ever, the theft was discovered,
and an officer searched the
house. The pork was found in
a bed, in spite of McIntyre's
misleading assertion that it was
a sick child. lie has gone to
State prison.

The Northern Railway Com
pany of France have introduced
system that gives increased
safety 10 passengers over its
lines. BY this system a signal
man at any point can stop a
train coming into or leaving o
station without the assistance
of the engineer or brakeman on
board the train. He can put on
all the brakes in an instant
and bring the train TO a stand.
The thing is done in the sim
plest manner. At intervals
metal plates are laid down be-
tween the rails, which plates
can be charged with electricity
at the pleasure Of the signalman.
A metallic brush attached to the
engine sweeps over these plates.
The contact causes a bolt to be
instantly drawn and the brakes
are applied to every wheel of
the train. Electricity is also
used ON this road to give the
alarm in case any Of the switch
es are displaced. If the con-
nec;ion of the rails is not per-
feet a bell is caused to ring un-
til they are safely adjusted.
