OPERA BOUFFE AT THE CITY HALL:
"LA VIE PARISIENNE." The talented troupe of French artistes made their second appearance before a Hongkong audience at the City Hall last night, when was represented Offenbach's comic opera in three acts "La Vie Parisienne." The horse was a remark. ably good one, H.E. the Governor and Lady Hennessy, Admiral Duperrd, and most of the leading residents being present. Pressure on our space prevents us from giving a detailed criticism. of what was one of the most successful represent- ations ever presented to a Hongkong audience. Madame Kosina Ragany was in excellent voice, and proved herself to be not only a most accom- plished vocalist, but an actress of the highest class in her own line. Her impersonation of Gabrielle was excellent in every respect, and the hearty plaudits of the audience showed how highly the fair artiste's efforts were appreciated. Madame Pontet was a capital
La Barvine, and contributed in no small mea sure to the success of the representation. The other ladies were also efficient in their respective les. M. Pontet showed his versatility as Bresilien, Frick, Le Major, and Ernest, and well deserved the hearty applause he received. M. Richard has a nice voice, and sings with much taste. He is also a most graceful actor, and was quite at home in the somewhat difficult part of binel. We can also heartily commend the sing ing and acting of M. Lalemand, whose imper sonation of Alphonse was one of the successes of the representation. The principal performers were well supported throughout, and M. Ladislas rendered most efficient aid at the pianoforte. Owing to the success which has hitherto attend

From data of this description Mr. Milne came to the conclusion that the modern representatives of the pit- dwellers were the Kumlsky or some of the inha- bitants of sagalia or Kamschatka, who like the Esquimo of the Atlantic seaboard, had in former times extended much farther to the south.
Mr. Milne also adduced several facts no hitherto brought forward to show that the shell heaps of Nippon were the spoor of the Ainos.
As a generalization upon the infrabitants of the Japanese empire, Mr. Milne suggested, and gave reasons to show, that the hairy Ainos were cati- nected with the hairy Papuans, who once ex- tended from their present home on the south, in a continuous line through the Philippines to Japan.

They had fortunately made such arrangements with the Indian Government as would give considerable encouragement in India to private enterprise. In Australia they had no doubt that the telephone would be used very much in the same way it was in America. In Egypt, at Alexandria, their system was opened with about sixty subscribers, and this number was likely to be doubled in a very short time; and at Honolulu they had 175 subscribers, with the prospect of an increase to 200.

What with war and progress Monarch and people, however, are alike imbued with a desire for national greatness and reform, and the country has a splendid future in store. The noble and improving sentiment which ani- mates the Japanese nation is admirably formü lated in an address to the Emperor and his advisers issued by half a dozen of the confederate Daimios in 1868; and in the reply of the Govern ment, inviting the whole Empire to advise with its rulers.

A specimen of the genus "skipper" has re- cently appeared before the authorities in Japan which we thought was as extinct as the dodo; at any rate, master mariners are so far educated in these days that we think it would be a diffi- cult matter to find a match in nautical cloquence for Mr. William Williams, of the British bark
