It gives us pain to read that the Rev. Editor Fitchett, of the holy Melbourne Daily Telegraph, is straving from grace. In a late issue of that im culate journal he actually pictured the sligny-clothed upper halves of the Sisters Von Tassel (formerly known as De Freitas)-who, by the way, threaten to pay a visit to China before tong-ia conjunction with a highly apccyphal account of their professional career, In a future issue he may--for such is the degene racy of human nature-probably give the even more lightly-clothed lower portions of these ladies. Nothing is better calculated to "fetch" the godly than a little wordly relaxation of that character.

easily understood; after nearly seven weeks' delay the police have at last received instructions to run BARRADAS to earth, and as they are on the right track, too much publicity might possibly obstruct their efforts by putting him on his guard.

General in busy commercial colony like Hongkong, we argued, were quite sufficient to occupy the whole time and attention of any man, or where was the necessity of having a Deputy? The duties of Colonial Treasurer, Auditor General, and Collector of Stamp Revenue could only be attended to at the expense of the Post Office and to the inconvenience of the community; postal duties were neglected in order to allow Mr. LISTE to fulfil his other multifarious obligations and to increase his legitimate income as Postinaster General.
The result of this rotten system is now scen in the scandalous case of the Portuguese clerk BARRADAS, 3 protige of Me LISTER's, who was in charge of the Money Order department. On the 22nd of March, BARRADAS was absent from his 0.75 duties without leave, but his absence would 1.00 appear to have excited no suspicion in the minds of the Postmaster and his Deputy that there was anything amiss.

to unravel the knotted threads of chaos and latrigue in the unhappy peninsular kingdom. He was aware that a Korean prince was living in Hongkong, but as to the name of bis Highness or the locality of his habitation, for the very life of him he couldn't speak with any approach to accuracy. [We, however, happen to know positively that General Le Gendre called on the said Prince as soon as he arrived here and vainly ndeavoured to persuade His Highness to return to Korea with him via Tokio.-Ed :) Questioned as to whether or not he thought China objected to his appointment in Korea and the probable attitude of the Treaty Powers, he said he thought the Powers, prised at his appointancat. As to China, he immediately concerned were in no way sur failed to see that the matter was worthy of her close attention. The political refugee, Kim O Kiun, who, since the atrocious outrages, perpetrated in the capital of Korea in the winter of 1894, has been living in Japro under the special protection of the Mikado's government was a persona incognita as heard of such a person, but really could not say where he was now, nor what he was doing, He might by this time be a Japanese subject, and on the other hand, he might not be one! The gallant General admitted the value of the public press, but regretted that his very superficial knowledge of Far Eastern affairs, precluded the... expression of any sound opinions".
General Le Gendre stated that his journey south was for the benefit of his health,' and only his health but the free ure of his tongue we sincerely hope that he may recover not before again reaching the shares of the Land of Morning Calm. It is generally believed that "diplomacy is the art of lying neatly," but this gentleman seems bent on following out a track In the political arena peculiar to himself. He threw away some splendid chances during the interview, of putting a nice coloring on some of the maiters discussed; but the art of plausible exag. geration is a special gift which the new Korean Adviser evidently does not possess, and so he fell back on playing the game of ignorance, real or assumed. It is difficult to understand the raison d'éire of the appointment of this elderly gentle man to his present position, his qualifications, so far as they are known, in no way fitting him as councillor on foreign affairs to the Govern ment of Korea. It has been suggested that General Le Gendre is the nominee of the Tokio Foreign Office, and although that explanation of the mystery has been denied, we are inclined to believe in lis substantial accuracy. However, be that as it may, we know that Russia, America, Japan and Korea are paddling in one canoe, while England, China, Germany and Italy are just struggling along in another, amidst a perfect sea of political intrigues and conspiracies in the capital of Great Korea, as the natives call this Bulgaria of the Orient. Our correspondent In Souf lately asserted that General Le Gendra had been folsted upon the Korean Government by Japan, Russia and America; this assertion the General was net in a position to contradict he found himself suddenly transformed from the -he merely pleaded ignorance as to how or why obscurity of private life into a great Vice-Presi dent of the Home Office in Korea.
