Governor is informed, several varieties, each sufficiently distinct from the rest to render a good interpreter of any one very possibly a bad interpreter, of any other; and it is obvious that under such circumstances to secure for the Courts the command of satisfactor interpretation in all cases is a work of no erdina y difficuty, which at the best can only be accomplished approximately. It would be evidently inexpedient to attempt the provision of all the necessary capacity and qualifications in a class of officers employed on to other duty. For that would not only involve the very great expense of a large Department of Interpreters and of students (many, of whom would probably prove ineligible for office after large sums bad been spent on their training) but it would mean a body of officers, for the most part required for service only very occasionally, and whose idleness, as regards public works, in the intervals would be perhaps injurious to them selves, and certainly to the Government service generally.
..
For this reason it seems desirable to depend on regular interpreters only in respect of the two- or three dialects in most common use; and us regards the less common dialects or varieties of dialects to provide the requisite capacity among other Public Officers, whose services as inter preters would be called for only when actually. required.
to
Kisc Partly with this object therefore, and promote improvement in all interpretation, as well as to obtain greater efficiency, through improved knowledge of Chinese, in other depart- ments than the Judicial, the Governor bas drafted certain regulations (1) which are now laid on the table and offered for consideration, as appearing likely to secure what is required within reasonable limits of expense, und under other conditions least open to objection.
With further view to the same objects, the Governor has deemed as well worth of the test of experiment the suggestion of the Commis sioners as to the encouragement of the acquial- tion of Chinese among the younger members of the non-Chinese community; and some proposals for the purpose in the form of regulations (i) are also offered for consideration,
The case of the Police requires somewhat different treatment. Their tenure of office for à short fixed period renders unsuitable a reward in the shape of a lump sum; and it is moreover expedient in their case that a somewhat lower standard of knowledge of Chinese than is required from other Public Servants should not go without reward, For these and other reasons, after consultation with the Captain Superintendent and the Board of Examiners, the Governor has deemed it well to retain the principle of the existing system of rewards for acquisition of Chinese, increasing, however, the sums paid per mensem for the lower standards of knowledge, adding a third standard, the attainment of which will carry a reward quite equal to that offered to the rest of the service, In another paper (II) now laid on the table will be found the scale of premiums which it is proposed to offer.
Though these various regulations which are suggested for adoption will probably be found to repaire, amendment after experience has been gained of their working, the Governor hopes that they will at least bring about substantial improvement in the condition of things which was the subject of the Commissioners enquiry, and will thus tend to the greater efficiency of the Public Service...

THE CYNOCEPHALUS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGYONG TECKNYA VIL.” SIR, As Signor Chiarini, ever on the watch for noveltics, monstrosities and curiosities for his famous menagerie, which has lately amused and delighted thousands of all nationalities in this city, has introduced to our notice his wonderful Simia and this. genus of quadrumana has no doubt excited the interest of all those who visited the circus, I purpose giving a short account of another animal of the same family, called by naturalists the Cynocephalus, another wonderful animal that walks, s okes and imitates Europeans. This amusing little creature is a native of Asia and as it is bot to be met with in any other part of the world and would, there- fore, attract considerable attention abroad by its ridiculous antics, I should strongly advise the enterprising Signor to secure a specimen or two of this generally unknown mannikin for his world renowned show, prior to his departure from the. Philippines. The cynocephalus, can be obtained in any quantity on application to the natives contiguous to their haunts at the rate of from $30 to $40 per head, according to their imitative capacities and a pure bred one can be readily recognised by its stunted growth, extreme shyness, uniform black hair, large amount of yellow belly, and an extraordinary adaptability to copy the follies and vices of Europeans. Although it does not now carry any tail there are distinct signs that the primingeninis of this family were not entirely free of this appendage. As a tale they are exceedingly gregarious, selecting various localities for their homes where FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary, not very cleanly in their habits it is astonishing a large number herd together, and as they are Government House, Hongkong,
to find bow remarkably sleek they can render themselves when so disposed. Their food con asta principally of garlic mixed with native berries, fruits, grain and fish; I have heard of some, who have become domesticated, indul ging in the flesh of other animals, but this is rarely met with in their wild state. Their extreme vanity is one of the most striking affinities to the human race that this animal possesses, and, of looking-glass they will occupy themselves the if by any chance they can obtain a small piece whole day admiring their uncomely features, Some of these funny little creatures I have come across in my wanderings were remarkably fond of attempting to play the flute, but it is hardly necessary for me to say that their efforts in this direction only, produced most heart-rending sounds and resulted in those whom this painful and annoying trick tortured beyond endurance at last secking their destruction. Another very laughable piece of mimicry is that of one, of a wom-out tennis bat and from the procuring, whenever they can lay hands on manner in which they strut about the beaten tracks, with very little imagination, one is almost the implement and really indulged in the led to believe they understood the use of game. The cynocephalus is of a migratory nature but as a rufe travels no great distance and large numbers periodically visit these shores so great indeed at times that at a distance their approach is similar in appearance to that of a

case, the fact that the Bishop should now. find the Jesuits his launchest supporters seems inexplicable. The solution of the riddle is to be found among the secrets of the Vatican library. During the early years of the pontificate of Pius IX the famous German historian and theologian, Father Theiner, an Oratorian, was appointed prefect of the library and had unrestricted access to its treasures. As the result of bis labours he gave to the world a series of learned works, the reward for which he considered should have been the Cardinal's hint. This, however, he did not obtain owing to the strenuous opposition of the Jesuits, whose enmity he had earned by his weitings, specially by his of Jesus. For this he never forgave them, and "Life of Clement XIV" wha abolished the Order found time, it is said. amid his more serious studies to collect a mass of material to be used agains! them, the existence of which was not so much a suspected by previous inquirere.
