TO THE EDITOR OF raw "Hongkong Trikorest," SIR,-Having occasion. to call at one of the Government Offices a few days ago, my attention was attracted to the following notice which was
by
rather conspicuously displayed the side of
⚫the door :-
ON HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE
NO SMOKING ALLOWED. I have only been a short time in the colony but during my stay have visited a goodly num- ber of business houses and, offices, and have been much struck with seeing numbers of die business men going through their work with a cigar in thorough trim either in their mouths or lying close handy, ready for use. Being used to the staid business ways of a London
office I thought the custom of smoking in the offices herea peculiar one at first, but have now arrived at the conclusion that, considering the climate and different method of doing business to that which rules at home, the cigar is, after all, not a great offence. The legend posted up at the door of the Government office above alluded to, at once made me think that, however much freedom might be enjoyed in business hours by commercial men, John Bull's si-neckedness did not allow of any slackening down of the rigid principles of the Civil Service, no matter what the climate or commercial custom. might be. However, you can imagine my surprise when I noticed three or four of the clerks in the outer office paffing away vigorously, which surprise was somewhat intensified when I got to the chief clerk's de- partment and found that functionary literally en- -veloped in-smoke. I made enquiry as to the meaning of the notice posted outside the office prohibiting smoking, and was told that it only applied to outsiders. Such is life. Veni, Vidi,
Victus sum.
Yours, truly,

An epidemic of a virulent type-is reported to be prevalent in the districts of Kamlara and Kams in the province of Yechigo. Females particularly are attacked by it, and it is proving fatal in most cases.
We lean that His Excellency Iwakura's illness has assumed a dangerous character, and that Dr. Bacle has gone to Kiyoto to attend him by special command of His Majesty the Emperor.
Patients suffering from mental derangement have, it is reported, considerably increased in Osaka. This is ascribed to the stagnation of trade, which has led to heavy losses by the mer cantile dass.
The Chinese Government appears to appreci- rate the superiority of the Muraia rifle. In addition to those already ordered, it has sent another or- der, for a large quantity logether with cartridges. In consequence, the men have to work from 5.30 a.m. till 6.30 p.m., instead of from 7 am, ti

The Maharajah, of Johore started for Nikkwo this morning, June 28th. In Tokiyo His Highness was the guest of the japanese Government, who had prepared for his reception the residence at Mita originally built by Admiral Kawamura and now the property of Mr. Hachisuka, Representative of Japan in Paris. The Maharajah was received in audience by His Majesty the Mikade on Tuesday, and after wards visited the Imperial Princes. He has shown himself a genial and appreciative traveller, not less curious about Japan's old fashions and customs than impressed by the evidences of her new civilization.
