' Ail offer ' having been made some ..time. ago and not accepted, Mr. Woods finding an urgent want of rolling stock upon .the railways, induced the Chief Secretary recently to telegraph "to the New Zealand Government, ; wi t th, a view to ascertaining whether the, offer was. still open, and on Saturday^ reply was received in tho affirmative, and stating that £16,000 would be taken ''for 'the wagons and carriages originally offered, and which would,- if purchased, be delivered at Lyttelton, the Victorian Govern* mont. having to remove them thence. Tho matter 'will 1 engage the early attention of tho Cabnit, when itis not unlikely that, Mr Woods being most desirous of purchasing the property,' 'some definite proposition will be submitted to. the New Zealand Government relative to the subject." As au illustration of tho advantage with which carrier pigeons may be employed, the Auckland {"Herald" metitions that they are constantly used iti the butchering ' and slaughtering business carried on .by Messrs Fisher and Co, as the bearers of messages and orders. Messrs Fisher and Co. have a slaughter-house near St. Ann's bridge, Great South road, and between that place and the city establishment constant oommunioation is kept up by means of pigeon messages. For instance, and order is reoeived for certain meat on the arrival of a vessel in port, one of those winged messengers is at onoe sentroff* to tbe slaughter-hoiuo with the death warrant for the beasts, and thus, in^thW shortest pos» eible spaoe^of time, ; the "necessary meat is forthcoming.— -The " Otago Times " also mentions a recent instance of the use bf these birds . — Some anxiety was excited by the non. arrival of' the tug Koputai from Lyttelfqp, nnd as the' Waitaki Was going to Oamaru, Captain, Edie wdS requested to keep a brighj look out for her, and sond back early i fntelligpnce, if any was obtainel. A telegram ifrom Oamaru was, the first idea, until Mv Elder brought down ono of his birds and gave it to tho captain as a sure messenger' that iwouldj in the-oven. of 'anything' occurring at sea, be back home'bcfore'a raessago could bo sent through by«wiro. The Waitaki' left at eight o'clock, nnd by eleven the bird was nt h'dme' with the' following message : — "Koputai, with the two lighters, twenty miles north." .The Man ."y^ha Laughs is the fortunate (individual whofSjeeps,, soundly,. for whom j good digestion wails on appetite," and Swhosei nerves ne'verc -trouble him,.
