SUPERIOR INFORMATION.
(Written specially for the Hongkong Telegraph
by. Charles, Count Popoff.)
People all over the world, but especially in the East, bave certainly a tendency to endow somebody else with the credit of possessing superior information. Very clever people are constantly committing themselves by the perfect reliance they place upon the opinion or advice of some contemptible quack. A man who has given his whole heart, and most of his life, to law, theology, or the classics, will yet often go for information, on a matter of horseflesh, to some new pretender who happens to have at command a few special and technical phrases. A man, nay, any man, may pass for an adept without much apprenticeship. Let him assert himself pretty loudly and he is sure of listeners. I once made the acquaintance of a very gaudy cock he was in the habit of strutting and crowing his challenges all day; but I regret to state that, whet af last they were answered, when a neighs boring rooster of small stature burst upon the dung-hill, he fed in the most disreputable manner before the very faces of his bevy of admiring hens. He had not a ba porth of the pluck he bragged about. The adept sometimes is sterling enough, no doubt, but frequently he is some little fool to whom accident has given a character for proficiency. Now, one would think that this later personage could only retain his ascendancy amongst the very ignorant or the very loving; or in the busom of his family, There, of course, one might imagine the members would be content with a superstition, and fail to perceive the fallibility of their god. But the strange thing is that wise men, are so often contented to seek inform- ation from the lives of the ignorant. What we mean to say is this, that not only is a man who has the credit of being an adept looked upon from all quarters with a wonderful amount of respect, but that also it does not seem to be a Picularly difficult maiter to obtain that credit. i really enjoy seeing a thorough-paced pre- tender floored And, after mature consideration, I think that a mere pretender to be a judge in wine is the finest and the fairest game of all, Observe with what 'expressive milence he seeks to convince you of his superior information! He scorns to bluster about his knowledge. He covers his glass with both his hands, and sniffs the aroma when the wine is supposed to be warm; he holds the stem lightly between his finger and thumb, sloping the glass a little, and looks intently upon what he conceives to be an oily richness running down the sides of the glass. Then, perhaps, he pronounces on the vintage or the bin, as the case may be. He tells you that
it is very fine wine indeed, that it ought to be drunk, however, as there is a good deal of it, he believes, and it would be a sin to let it get passé. This and all the rest. of, it which we know so well by heart, he says and does. Alas, for his superior information; for you, suspecting that he was an impostor, gave him a battle out of the cask of something rather tawny. A little circumstancconcé eccurred to my ownknowledge, which is perhaps worth setting down bere. Some gentlemen, who were either a committer, or a board, or a meeting, at any rate, who had met together very many times on business, determined, as auch gentlemen do determine, to solace their anxieties with a dinner. This dinner was to be given at a first class hotel (Great Eastern), at Calcutta I believe. Well, as the dinner was to be dainty and the wines "curious," the original business committee appointed yet another com- mitee amongst themselves, which should have power to choose two able and experienced men given to a familiarity with French dishes, but above and beyond all, connoisseurs in wine. Now as far as the mere dinner went, they got on pretty well-possibly their business here consisted only in approving the elaborate carte sent them by the cook; but the wine was a more solemn, matter. A great responsibility rested on them.' With champagne, of course, they were safe, as the brand was a sufficient guide. Nelther did they at all commit themselves in the matter of claret Lafitte and a heavy price against it carried them through in splendid style, But with port wine they found some difficulty, and their opinions were divided. It grew late as they argued and tasted. They were left in the room alone at last with part and sherry; and when at length the time came for these well-informed beings, the elect of the committee, to produce the

The work is necessarily limited, however, but its expantion is simply a question of constituents. Given the adhesion of every Certificated Mariner,
and the direct and indirect benefit to the British.
Merchant Service will be incalculable,
The keys of the maritime world await the claim of a 'United Mercantile Marine to their possession. The cohesion of every part will undoubtedly constitute the whole the rightful possessor of the appropriate power. Without this a thousand disintegrating fragments play havoc with a splendid heritage. The opportuni ties for a rallying of forces have been frequently, presented, but most have passed by unimproved. Again the signs are favourable, the claims are great, the call is clear, and the response should be unanimous.
All the great elements in the composition of the Merchant Service would be `healthier, stronger, and more prosperous by reason of a united brotherhood of nautical men, The Gov- crament, Shipowners, Underwriters, Shippers, and all connected with the commercial life of the Service would be invigorated, while the maritime bone and muscle would respond to the head and heart of a full-toned organisation.
It is a necessity of the times that infinitely varied and world-wide interests be placed under responsible and capable supervision, and in no other industry are the claims so paramount as that of our sea-borne brethren.
Their history is a history of loyal devotion to
duty; of heroic behaviour in the most difficult and perilous circumstances; of forbearance and an unresenting spirit while enduring wrongs and suffering grievances which no other class of the community would either tolerate or be allowed to hear and that at the bands of a Government Department whose work should rather have been their protection than their persecution. The recard is entirely in their favour as lovers of ⚫heir country and faithful servants of their Queen, and none can write other than admirably of the commendable qualities that have so long 1093 distinguished the British Mercantile Marine as a
whole.
The Masters, Officers, and Engineers may therefate be tranted to gradually unite their forces and improve their position, carrying with them the good wishes, and also advancing the interests, of all associated with shipping,
The task before them demandı not only unity to a man, but resourceful enterprise and patient plar'ding. To keep pace with the times improve the tone of the personnel; take up wisely new positions of defence and departures advance steadily along the lines of legislation-the while weeding out cumbering and offensive enactments; Share-import new blood into the Service, and provide for those whose, voynge is ended--all this will require steady application and indomitable, courage and perseverance.
N accordance with the provisions of No. 104 of the Articles of Association the General Managers have this day declared an INTERIM DIVIDEND for the half-year ended 30th June, of eight per cent. upon the paid up capital.

The main object of the Company is to carry on the business of Hotel-keepers, and other businesses incidental thereto, the premises at present known as the Victoris Hotel, and if need named Lodge will be held in the FREEMA-
be to acquire other sites and erect other buildings for Hotel purposes, as empowered by the Memorandum of Association.
The present Victoria Hotel has been carried on under the successful management of Mr. Dorabjee Nowrojee for the last 6 years. This gentleman has had 19 years' experience as an Hotel Manager, and on the formation of the New Company he has consented to act as Manager of the Hotel, and Mr. Ismail Pulley Madar, who has been in the service of Mr. Dorabjee Nowro jee for 19 years as Book-keeper and Assistant: Manager, is willing to continue to act as General Assistant. The Company will, if it is thought desirable, also retain the old experienced staff of servants with which the. Hotel for the last six years has been so successfully brought to its present position.
The average yearly profit for the last three years is $18,026.60, and as it is proposed to expend at once about $35,000 in building and furnishing 29 additional bed-rooms to the exist Ing Hotel, and in making other small but much needed improvements, it is anticipated that with these additional rooms and the consequential increase in the consumption of Wine and Liquors, the nett annual earnings of the Corn pany should not be less than $40,000, as the running expenses of the Hotel will not be materially increased by such additions.
The property proposed to be bought by the Company is at present in lease to Mr. Dorajec Nowrojce.
An Agreement has been made for the Assign- ment of this lease to the Company, and for the sale of the Goodwill, Plant, Furniture and Stock f26 of the Victoria. Hotel for $150,000, of which $75,000 will be paid by the allotment of 3,000 shares in the proposed Company, on each of which $25 will be credited as having been paid up; of this sum of $150,000, the sum of $50,000 is to be paid for the lease to Mr. Dorabjes Nowrojet, $50,000 for the goodwill of the Victoria Hotel, and $50,000 for the Plant, Furniture and Stock-in-Trade of the Hotel.
THE Undersigned have this day been appointed SOLE AGENTS for the sale, of these PERFECT DISINFECTANTS, and are prepared to supply quantities to suit purchasers, at Wholesale Prices, Extra Special terms for Shipping and large Orders.
