FIJI NEWS.

4. . (From the "Fiji Anew.") We believe that t-ho U.S.S. Company in tend employing tho Bteamsliip Suva in the inter-insular trade here. The Suva will act as a fo'saer to the Union S.S. Company's , boats. We have seen some samples of tobacco j ■ grown by a gentleman ut the la. The 1 tobacco is almost equal to any oE. tho lino Virginian and other American tobaccos so much in vogue. Two Fijians, who were suspected of having been the perpetrators of the late murder at Fiewa, have been committed for trial by the magistrate of tho district. A list of the applicants for Indian immi grants has been published in the "Koynl ■ Gazette "of October 'JGth. The number up to tho present time is 1,795. The amount , of tho application fees paid is £10,770. ' Tho Colonial Sugar Company have applied for 1,000, and Messrs Stanlake, Loo and Co. have applied for 500. Several other firms have applied for Indian immigrants in numbers ranging from '20 to 100. The man who was sentenced to death for t murder at liabi will be hanged on the l/lli instant, or a few days later. By the arrival of the Penguin from Taviuni, we hoar that a lire occurred there on the evening of the J7th ultimo. The owner of the- building [where the lire took 1 placs wuh Mr Peterson, well-known at Taviuni. There were some two or three , tons of tobacco in the ginning house where , tho conflagration took place, belonging to Messrs Strang and Wright. Gold in FIJI. MrT. I'arkcr has received a letter from his brother, ftj rA. Parker, with reference to some auriferous stone taken to Mel bourne from Viti Lovu. Through the courtesy of Mr Parker, we are enabled to give the following extract, taken from the letter received by him from his brother : — " To-day I finished a trial crushing of 13.i,cwt. of quartz. I learn it came from Bucknell's, Fiji. It went lldwts. 13grs. This is conclusive enough. It is altogether unlike any stone to be seen hereabouts. I am told there are millions of tons to be got. This result will pay well, as I hear that water can bo used as a motive power. There should ha very jhic gold in the nearest gully —alluvial." Mr J, M. Butt, who left for New Zealand • by the last Penguin, was presented with a purse of sovereigns by the residents of Suva. Tho presentation was made in tho 1 oflice of the firm of Messrs J. McEwan and Co. Several gentlemen attended to wish Mr Butt bon voyage, and Mr Butt,in answer to the regret expressed by those present at his said that when ho arrived in Fiji' lie was led to believe that ho would have to deal with a lot of scoundrels, but ' ho was glad to say that he found that in stead, of dealing with scoundrels he had to . deal with gentlemen every whit as honour able and truthful as he could wish to lind . anywhere.

PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO MR. J. M. CLARK.

,o ix opening the proceedings at the public meeting hold yesterday afternoon to arrange for a testimonial to Mr J. M. Clark (the retiring Mayor), the Chairman (Mr J C. Firtli) said that at first sight the object of their gathering was of a compli mentar-y »liaraotor, but on deeper con sideration it would bo found to be of far greater importance, In a colony of this sort, where the majority of men had to perform manual labour, it was not surprising that there should bo only a few who had leisure and time to give their services to the public. Still we had every reason to be .satisfied with our public men, as the records of our City Coun cil and Harbour Board showed. Colonial communities were exacting, and public men had a great deal of annoyance, com plaint, and ndverso crilicimn to put up with. The name of a street could not. be altered or the grade of a thoroughfare changed with out provoking hostile criticism, and the name ordeal was being weekly ran by the Harbour Board. It would bu found, how ever, in the long run, that when n man diil his duly faithfully and honourably, he would get his reward. They were there that day to develop a public patriotic spirit, and on behalf of the general body of citizens to show their appreciation of the public services rendered by (lie retiring Mayor, Mr J. M. Clark, who had nil but completed a three years' term of tiliii'c as Mayor, and latterly at the sacrilico of much personal convenience. Jlis duties had taxed severely his lime and means, for he had spared noed'ort to further in every way the interests of (ho city, lie had devoted a large proportion, if not all, of his salary to the Public Library, and nil other mayors could not be expected to follow such a. munificent example. His hospitality,too. to .strangers had been a sub ject of general praise. But this was not alto gether the reason for their wisli to recognise his services, but rather that ho had steadily and faithfully discharged the regular routine work of his oilice. After an allusion to the fact that many gentlemen were un avoidably absent through attendance at the late Mr Whitson's funeral, Mr Firth con cluded by moving a resolution affirming the desirability of presenting a testimonial to Mr Clark on his retirement from oflice As recorded in our last issue, this resolu tion was passed, as well as a subsequent one moved by the Hon. Dr. Pollen ru the ac ceptance of subscriptions. The following was the Committeo (with power to add to their number), which was appointed on the motion of Mr John Lamb : Messrs Joseph Howard, John Marshall, H. F.Aiiderson,T.PeacocU,M.ll.R.;C.B.Stone, F. Larkins, L. D. Nathan, George Johnston, John Ross, W, Johnston, K. C. Carr, P. Comisky,Dr.Campbell,M.L.C.;ll.W.Heatli, D.H. McKenzie, K. 11. Stevenson, P.

"Clarence Cottage, "Thomas-street, IJalmain " August 21, is 3 Publishers—Auckland Evening Star. "Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism in my back, which gave me no end of pain and trouble. 1 used i?T. Jacobs On,, and in one or two applications the pain entirely left. Since then I have had occasion to use the oil on a badly sprained wrist, and its cll'ect was simply magical. My wife hns used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. J consider St. Jacobs Oil a valuable preparation, and shall not only use it in my own house, hut shall recom mend my friends to do so. " I remain, dear Sir.s, your truly, "W. P. Booth."

On Thursday last 1 had to leave my oflice and go homo to bed. 1 obtained a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and thought I would give it a trial, and after rubbing the aiiectcd part briskly for ten minutes, I got relief. Next morn, ins 1 again rubbed ii. and from that time I have been free from pain. jV,\iin, on Sunday nst. the same symptoms appeared in the left toot. I applied St. Jacobs Oil as in the first case, and with equal success. Having boon a sceptic hitherto, 1 now subscribe niyseif a firm believer in the efficacy good of St. Jacob.
