Later News from Fiji.

Brisbane, February 11,

The Australasian. S. N. Company's steamer Pretty Jane, from Levuka, reports that a big native meeting was concluded just before she left. The meeting had been delayed some days by the unsettled weather that had prevailed for some time. Heavy gales blew with terrific squalls from the north-west, but on January 30 the weather cleared with a south-east wind. An immense fleet, numbering about 300 ■canoes and many European-built boats, in cluding Maafu's yacht, arrived at Levuka from Bau, accompanying his Excellency the Governor and his civil staff.

The Governor leaves for Samoa as soon as the weather becomes settled.

THE LABOUR TRADE.

Referring to the over-crowding of labour vessels, the "Fiji Argus says :—Close fol lowing the Stanley with her crowd of hapless victims comes the Marion Rennie, but lucky enough to have escaped bad weather, or the destruction to human life must have been terrible. Here is a little bit of a schooner of fifty-six tons actually allowed to pack ninety-seven Polynesians ou board, and convey them to Fiji from the South Sea Islands." Jt is the hurricane season too, when bad weather may be ex pected to be met with. If the Marion Rennie had met the same weather as did the Stanley, the mortality would have been perfectly astounding. If ninety-seven poor wretches were battened down in the Marion Rennie's hold for thirty hours during heavy weather, how many of them would have seen land again, or if they did see^ it, would have seen it put to die ? The answer is to be found by working out a simple rule of three sum. If the Stanley battens>n hatches over 15G individuals and loses sixty-live as a result, how many would the Marion Rennie lose under circumstances out of a cargo of ninety-seven ? Answer, forty. Yes, but more it reality, becau:c the Marion Reunie is far more incompetent to carry ninety-seven than the Stanley, which is twice her size exactly, is to carry 156. In the name of humanity we would urge the Government not to let another vessel leave ibis port under the old system of licensing. We understand that the Go vernment have resolved to make a change shortly ; and a rate of one man to the ton is whispered about. The famine price ot everything like vegetable food, says the Fiji " Times," ia a matter at present thrusting itself very conspicuously on public notice. The few ba»s ot potatoes which arrived per Ocean were bought up as coon as offered,.at the extreme rate of £21 per ton. The small consignment ex Suva followed at equal quotations, and during the past few days what few yams were procurable in town brought as high as £12 per ton.

KICCOL'S SLIP.

To the schooner Lousianna belongs the honour of being the first ship which has been hauled up on a patent slip in Fiji. Mr Niccoll, being anxious to accomodate his patrons, permitted this vessel te be put on the slip before the work in connection with its construction was thoroughly completed. In a shipping pori like Levuka it has long been a wonder that an undertaking of this kind has not been initiated before this, but to Mr Niccoll's enterprise belongs the credio of the present slip. We have little doubt it willprove remunerative enough to warrant its construction, and we heartily wish him every success.

Later Cape News.

Adelaide, February 8.

The telegraph wire has been cut near Drakenburg mountain, and fifty yards car ried away. Many regard affaira in the Transvaal as approaching a crisis. It is said that Sir Garnet Wolseley is likely to return to Eng land in a few months.

The Bth regiment, which was ordered to Capetown, via Kimberley, was recalled to the Transvaal, having inarched too near Kimberley.

Mr Maasdorp, Attorney-General of the Transvaal, has resigned, ostensibly on the ground of insufficient salary, but it is stated that the state of political affairs has to do with his resignation.

In the Transvaal Supreme Court the ap peal by the editor of "DeVolsstem" and Or Porissen, lato member of tde Executive, upainflt taxes, was dismissed ; the Court holding that the JAct of Annexation did away with the Folksraad and President, and made the Transvaal subject to Imperial authority.

The post-office statistics of Kiraberley show an increase in the quantity of dia monds scut through the post-office from the fields.

Secociui, the Kaffir Chief, is still a pri soner, aud the authorities announce that prospectors for gold and precious stones will be assisted by guides aud furnished with information in exploring that country. It is expected that the country will be rapidly occupied, and companies for prospecting are now being formed.

A meeting of the Basuto chiefs ia called for next-month, when they are to be re quired to give up their arms.

The Beaufort railway, extending 200 miles from Cape Town towards the diamond Held, is to be opened on the 4th February. The proclamation creating a Legislature tor the Transvaal is about to be published. i he Executive Council is to consist of five ollicial and three non-oilicial members, and the Legislative Council of tho Executive, the Chief Justice and six non-official mem bers.

THE OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.

-hi; flourished thirty or forty yonr3 ago. She wa-3 a litllo girl until showns fifteen. Mie used to help her mother wash tho dishes and keep tho kitchen tidy, and atio had an ambition to make pies bo nicely that papa could not tell the dliferenao betwecu them and nianmu's, and yet shocouklfry griddle cak^s at ten years of ago, and darn lior own tt.cldnvs brforo sho was twelve, to say notlvnfj of knitting them herself. She had her hours of play, and ocjoyed hoi self to tho I'uUeat extent. She had no very costly toys, 10 bo sure, but horra< doll and Itttlo bureau and chair that Uncle, Tom madoweio just as .valuable t j her as tho ?20 wax do'l and elegant doll furrituro the children have now-o-days. Sho never said " I can't," and " I don't want to." to hor mother, when asked to leavu her play, and run ups'airs or down on an errand, because stu bed not been brought up in that way. Obe dlonce was a cardinal vivtue in the old-fashioned little girl. Sho roso in the morning when she was called, she went out into tho gni-djn andsa-vthe dew on tho graes, and if sho Jived in tho country sho fe,d tho chickens and hunted up the eges for breakfast.

We do not supposo that she hud her hair in curl-papers orcriraping-pina, or had'it "banged' over her forehead, aud her flounces were no trouble to her.

She learnod to sew by maluna; patchwork, and wo daresay she could do an "over-and-over" seam as well as nine-tentha of tha grown-np women nowadays. Tho Old-fashioned lllUo girl did not grow into a youna la-iy and ta'k about beaux befora tho was in horteanß, aud sho did nut read dimo novels, and was not fancying a horo in every plonj»hboy the mot. , She learned tho solid accomplishments as Bho Krew up. She was taught iho arts of cooking and hoasekbeping. When she got a husband she knew how to cook him a dinner.

She was uot learned in French verbs, or tatia declensions, and her near neighb urs were spared the sgooy of hearing her pound out "The Mairicn s Prayer " and " Silver Threads Among the God twenty times a day on the piano, but we have no doubt sho made ncr family qu.te ai eomCortabloas the modern young lady do's hers.

■ I', may bo a vuUnr RFsertion, andiwo supposo that wo are not exactly up with the thnj?, but wo honestly believe, and our own opinisn is biisod on considerab c experience, and no small opportunity for observation, tlit when it ooiucs to keeping a fami y happy, a good cook and housekeeper is to bo greatly preferred above an accomplished scholar. When both sets of q aali ties aro found together, as ihoy eometimesaro, then is the household over which such a woman has cntrolblossed.

-Tho old-fasuioned little girl was modest in her demeanour, and she never talked tlangorused bywords. She did not lausrh at old peop^o or make fun of cripples, a« we saw some modern little girls doing the other d- y. Sho had respect for elders, and was not above lietouing to words of couneelfrom thoso older than Aiorself. She did not thiok she kco w as much aa mother, and that her judgment was as good as her grandmother's.

Sho did not go to varties by the time eho waa ton, and stay tilt after midnight playing euchre and dancing With any chance young man who happened to be present. Slio went to bod in season, and doubtless said her prayers before sho went, and slept tha sleep or inncconse, and rose up in the morning happy and capable or giving happiness. And if thcro be an old-fashioned litt'b girl in tho world to-day, may heaven blees her and keep her, and raise up others liko her.—" N. Y. Kxamincr."

A ROYAL FOUNDLING.

Thb Daughter of King Ciiablks XIV Lb*t at a Hospital in Bkkst. One night in ISOi a little girl, about, 1 year old, was dopoßited in tho drawer of tho foundling hospital at Brest, she was dressed with muoh tlnory, and a uoto attached to her skirts told that her name was Soltingo, ana that sho would be reelaimod by her father. The claim was novcr made, however, and in due time the child was transferred to the orphan asylum, to be educated there. As Bho gruw up sho developed a moat ex traordinary beauty;but herintelleoc appeared to bo very weak, and eha suffered from frequent nervoua fits. Whon eho was 12 years ola she was eont out into the streets to sell flowers, and her beauty and her modesty attracted many people's goodwill; but she grew woaker and I weaker, and at last she died. According to | French custom she was buried in an open basket, I and as it was winter and tho soil was frozen, she ! was laid into the grave, only covered with a thin ! layer of sand. During the night sho awoke, and ' pushing tho sand away, she crept out from this grave. Not exactly understanding what had taken plac9. she was not so very much frighten- | ed, but in orossiDK the glacis between the ceme- '■ tery and the fortiflcatiuns sho was startled by tbo i outcry, "Quivive," and as she did not antwer, : tne sentinel firea and sho fell to the ground. Hrouj.-htinto tho Kuatd-houso, her wound was found tv be very slight, and she soon recovered; ; but her singular history, and also her great beauty, bad made so deep an impression on a yo»ng.X4guteu»nt 01 tlie garrison (Kramer) tbat

£ir,—May I beg space fora few li nca mA this question ? JXot one tangible obiecf " was raised at the meeting of the Institm" except that of imposing extra duties on thi present curator ; which objection was m«* It was generally admitted, and is Inowh t be a prevalent fceliag outside that tt " Institute is not popular, that the advah^ tages. of the Museum are confined t ' comparatively small section of the cow munity, owing chiefly to the inconvenient' of the hours during which it ia open T meet this it was suggested opening it dnrins the week evenings. Ihis, however WO nl§ involve a largo extra expenditure amT1 would not reacti all who would avail'tW selves of the Sunday afternoon, whicW J involves no extra co3t at all. I think tl question is, whether it is just practicallv'' to exclude the greater part of the people from ' the beueiits of such au Institution T' think it is not; and the religion I 'W learned from our bible makes justice a vetv prominent feature. Inasmuch as all will admit that the influence of the Museum f" unexceptionably good—having no mi>nev miking or physical labour connected with ' it-it certainly would meet with the W ' proval of Him who teaches, "It is lawfa ' to do well on the Sabbath." It fa to ba' hoped that Counc.l will see its way to refer the matter to a special general meeting aid not allow some twenty individuals to siielva' a question of such wide interest. ■ I yield* to no man in reverence for the Sabbathand a desire to see it used for the bestaar holiest purposes ; amongst which haa ever been a thoughtful contemplation of 'wM wonders and Deauties of creation. Perhaps Mr Macfatlane will allow me to inform hun that the Christian Religion contains thepre. cept "Be Corteous," which he certainly ]$s not, as yet, studied.— Yours &c, ,' , Sahtjjbl Edgee, '■[

SUNDAY WORK.

To the Editor. Sm,—The little sect, of your correspondent,' in the religous world, are by no means prel eminent for their piety, or for the strictness of their Sabbath observance, but a decided drag upon the " Can-" of progress. Wa-; would remind this disciple of Christ, that1 Jesus said to the Pharisees, "The Sabbath was made for man" etc., and the, Sabbath' is what its name implies ; a rest from all labour. The Jewish law " whosoever doeth work thereiu shall bs put to death,''did not" I prohibit amusements, nor eating and diihlc iug; but the Jewish, Romanist, and Pro. testant priesthood, still uphold a God of Wrath in place of a God of J.ove; nor can • bigot's devottees, in their one-day worship,1' stop far short of blasphemy in prouounc- ' ing hell-fire as the punishment for.Stay day rational enjoyment. Jesus in the" fourth gospul actually denies the alleged ground for the institution of the Sabbatu, aud declares that God never ceased fr<jm His work or rested. The Sunday of the- Puritans, was, like themselves, stern, cold and sad. Sunday was a miserable day.to me when I was a boy ! Andrew Agnew hung his cat on a Monday because,she] killed a mouse on a Sunday, he would'not1' allow even salts to work on that day if he had had the power to prevent it. The sectarian can find no pretence of sanction for the supposition that Jesus substituted the first for the seventh day, but has picked up a day that the Jews do not recognise, and by the aid of Jewish law seek to.' frighten the working man away from pure' air, green fields, museum, library, rail, steamer, meandering stream and1 flowery del), but would compel him to attend some Big Bethesda or Little Bethel, where supreme cant allied to grim Godliness gives Sunday sanction to week day lax morality, both political and commercial. Let us use Sunday in the highest interests, y of our common humanity, for the body's rest,and change means rest —aud the culti vation of the mind. WIIKES, \ West-street, February 18. t :i;ti'

RUMOURS OF WAR IN EUROPE.

(TO THE EDITOii)

■ ■ ■ ■ ■■, £ik,—They say "lookers on" see most of the game, and so it was during the Franco-. German .War. In France every defeat was. cracked up and twisted into a victory by Jieij - newspapers, so much so that at last tie, i Euglish papers were eagerly sought asa;. ;.] means of learning the true state.of affairs.') > The German papers were almost as bad. ,;01|j j course they had no serious reverses to record,, ; j yet they so enormously understated their,. •, frightful losses, that it was not until aflei;; j the war that the awful effects were seen. ; , \ Aloltke won his battles, but at what cost of, , human life Germany will never know. It,; ■[ is instructive now to sec a vekrau from each , j side step foward and givo in a view through , his glasses of the coming struggle, ifsiica j does take place. , ,; > j With regard to England, if her policy,] ij during the last quarter of a centuiy is tobg taken as any guide, she will rciuaiu neutral- | dmiug any European struggle. Asfar,as(' ; j the feeliug of her people is concerned they , have not much sympathy with Germany,;, but to France they at a exceedingly cordial;,; j and it would be in a very supreme moment,j j that Englaud could be brought to, cross.-, j swords with France, and then only .by a,? fluke. It will be remembered that when the Schleswic-Holstein difficulty cropped up, i : Lord Palmerston led Denmark to believe;; that England would support her, but when she had thrown down tbe gauntlet to Prussia and Austria, he ignonrinious]y hacked out, and allowed plucky little Den-: niarktogetahammering.. Englishmen wero / very wrath about this; as, had-we done pra duty, Prussia would not have been the: ■ power she is to-day. Of course Napoleonlll.l was in a great measure to blame, as hepre- .1 served such an absurdly secret attvtade^aj 1 the time, that ho obliged England to do what shedid. Again, after tbefumenderof Sedan.; the British reeling was ripe for her to have stepped in and have obliged Wilbeltn.the ,- Sanctimonious to havestucktotheproclaraa-f tion he had issued to the French people,« ; an end to the war, and so saved La Bella France the horrible scene of bloodshed that j followed, though she preferred to, remain 4 neutral. Again, when Russia commenced her hanky panky with the sick .man 10 we East, she could have stepped in with Russia,, stopped all the horrible Bulgarian atrocities 1 and all the trouble without going to war, ' have kept Russia in her place, and saved an enormous anioun-t of blood and money, > because we should have had no Afghan war to trouble us, and instead have had tnp: Russian nation to all intents aud pnrposes . friendly towards us. ■ . ... Now to review the other nations m™1 coming struggle, if, as I said before, sucna : thing does take place. If Russia goes to war in Europe it will be against .Austria. Germany may assist Austria and then Italy ; ; would be more likely than any other nation to become the ally of Prussia, France and, England remaining neutral. This is more , likely to be the arrangement than any otner. France would bs in a much better pos»10E than by any other course, and she and Jut land could step in and dictate terms when the spoil was being divided. BisniarcK is au . exceedingly clever man, aud h plav|"l nt deep ganie; but there are people who taunt the two Jews, Disraeli and Gambetta, nave been knocking their heads together for some i purpose of checkmating him. However, is is very little use prophesying—Dr. Oumniuig found that out—unless you pick a good ins-, taut date—suppose we say this war comes off in 1900.—Comet. , ■
