The Tonquin Expedition has been generally regarded as a mere picce of pretentious filibuster on the part of France an exercise of folly which we might condemn in a friendly way, but which does not otherwise concern US. The defeat of the French troops, however, and the imminent possibility of a Franco-Chincae war, have opened the eyes of the world to dangers which the Government, forearmed and foreguided by its special information, ought to have foreseen and ought to have checked by a prompt 'initiative. It is as certain as anything can be that a mani- any sort of operations which would disturb com- fest determination on our part not to countenance merce must produce a salutary modification of the schemes of the French Government, just as little-tmness and honesty would have pre vented that wretched business in Madagascar.

Ifa company of infantry, arked with the trowel bayonet, is about to be attacked in a large open pirio the soldiers can, in a few moments, throw up a breastwork almost as high as their heads.

Besides these six now open, four new docks are in course of construction. The quays bordering these docks will extend to about 7,000 yards. Railways and warehouses are also amply provided. The sums laid out on the improvement and fortifica tion of this port amounted to 66,496,959 down to the end of 18811. Besides this dock accommo- dation the quays have been rectified, rebuilt, and provided with all necessary appliances. They will ultimately extend to a length of 4 kilos. The depth of water in the river has been so much increased that ships of 4,30 tons, drawing ay feet of water; can approach the quay. The first section of the new quays, 1,350 metres in length, was opened in 1881.

THE ART IN SPEAKING.
A common defect in speaking in large buildings is inability to catch the key note or resonance vibration of the inclosed space. All large areas have such resonance notes, and in some it is very marked. Westminster Abbey, for instance, consonates to G sharp, and intoning on this note is much more audible than on one a semi-tone above or below it. The use of an open chest voice as little vocalized as may be is the best. It is less laborious, less liable to accidents, less fiable to develop the affection commonly known as clergyman's throat," and, by removing the sensation of effort, more easy and sympathetic. To analyze the constit uents of a good' delivery: First,come the pauses. Haste is one of the commonest faults in speech. It has two defects-the one in over.
Even supposing that the French are successful The question, however, does not stop here. in Tonquin, Mr. Colquhoun, who is probably the best-informed man on the subject, does not think they would be able to stay there: he con aiders that the province will be used as a base of aggression in the independent Shan States and Siam. It is hardly necessary to say that opera tions of that kind could not possibly be regarded with indifference by England, even if they were the only possible result of French "success. It is perfectly certain that a bitter and lengthy all accounts and appearances, the French war we say lengthy' advisedly, because, from authorities are hopelessly ignorant of the enor mous dificulties of a campaign in Annam would create a ferment in the far East the con- sequences of which are not lightly to be contem- plated; and it is more than probable that the complications in Europe as well as anarchy in interruption of vast trades would end in general the East. Clearly it is England's business to lead; and if the Government neglect their man- fest duty, the empire will have to pay heavily by-and-by for their inaction. Blindness to facts
