REPORTS received at the War Office as to the conduct of the Irish regiments of militia now called out for training are highly satisfactory, and fully justify a step which was regarded with much anxiety in some quarters.
THE doctor called a few hours late (as the nurse hoped he would), "How is our patient this morning?" "She seems, about, the same, Sir." "Have you followed my instructions about the medicine?" "Yes, Sir," "What have you done?"

BAD GAS.

To the Enten or, tank “Honekʊso Terrorainu,” SIR,For the past couple of weeks or so the gas supplied to the colony has been of a very inferior quality, and this, 1 believe, has been more particularly noticeable in the Central districts, although I do not have the slightest idea as to how this should be. Howeyer, the light supplied lately in my premises has been of such a peor description that I at first thought there must be something wrong, with the case.

I for one think we do, considering that the tariff in Hongkong s about three times as high as it is in many of our. home cities, where labor is dearer and cools no cheaper than they are here. I may be mistaken, bat I understand that the majority of the share- holders in the Gas Company are resident in England, and make a very fine thing out of their original investment, as it is patent to all gas they supply. I do not think there much probability of an opposition concern ever being started here; but be that as it may I certainly think the Company is not studying its own in terests.in supplying the public with any inferior article. If the best gas cannot be made at the present rate, iathe price be raised by all means; but under any circumstances let us for the future have a good light to enable us to go through our work with comfort and preserve our eye- sight as long as possible.

We can see-what the Quai d'Orsai may find it convenient to ignore-that it is the traditional policy of China to maintain round her frontiers a belt of semi-dependent States as a protection against contact with the barbarian conquests in Asia. We know that Tong King forms an essential part of the pro- tecting zone, and that the establishment there of a French protectorate means the extension of French power to the immediate confines of the We have, farther, reason to Celestial realm. believe that the Court of Peking is sensible of") the danger and is strongly disposed to avert it, if possible; and though we may be wrong our view, we have at any rate the French Ambassador at Peking as a partner in the blunder
In the House of Commons on the 7th ulto. Mr. Ashmead-Barlett asked whether the Goven- ment had any information confirming tele- -grams—published which__stated_that a war between France and China was imminent. He further inquired what Power the French Foreign Secretary referred to in the late debate in the Assembly when he stated that a great Power was now, "egging on" China to resist the de- mands of France. Lord E. Fitzmaurice replied -I prefer to confine my answer to the questien on the paper. (Cheers.) Her Majesty's Govern ment have received no information confirmatory of the telegraphic announcements referred to insufficiently obvious fact that France will not be the hon. member's question."
We understand that the forts which were erected at various places in the colony for the protection - of Hongkong during the Russian bare of 1878 and after that sensational era, are to be demol ished, an eminent, military authority having given his opinion that they are practically was- less. It is said that arrangements are being made to construct a new lot of forts to take the places of those condamned. It would appear that a large amount of public money has thus ueen recklessly wasted. That, however, is no thing to be surprised at in Hongkong, where an vagant expenditure of the funds of the colony on useless "white elephants," like that at Causeway Bay, is a leading feature in our gendral policy. The Chinese contractors who have the privilege of doing Government work in the colory must be passing rich if all tales be true-that is unicas they have to pay too exorbitant a rate to the wire pullers for the aforesaid privilege.
DR. GERHARD ROHLFS, lately returned to Europe from a mission to King John of Abyssinia, thus reviews in a private letter the present action of France and Italy in Red Sea waters "It is well known that the French and Italians have lately --developed a feverish activity in the Red Sea, the first at Obok, the latter at Asaab. Both of these countries have sent a mission to Menilek, King of Shoa; they wish to make this kingdom indepen dent of the Suzerainty of Abyssinia. Hence they continually spread the report that the King of Abyssinia is dead, and that Menilek had suc ceeded him. Naturally they desire the death of the Negus (King John), because he is a friend of the English, whilst Menitek is a partisan of the Italians and French. But they do not con sider that even if the Negus were to die his son
The Saturday Review observes that if the Chinese Insist on maintaining their_suzerainty over Tong King the consequences cannot be other than 'very sericus' over the whole East. That the French will be defeated is not in the least probable. Englisht prophets of evil insist on the difficulties of carrying on a war in Tong King, and persist in overlooking the
