THE GAS QUESTION.
Hongkong, April 25, 1876. Six, On the 20th January last you inserted a letter of mine on the subject of Expensive Gas," which I thought would have called forth other expressions of feeling from the community, for I knew the oom plaint made was one generally concurred in, I see by your last night's paper that the Rev. Dr Eitel finds he has good grounds for objecting to the bille sent in by the Gas Company, and suggests that the publio be protected by the interference of Govern- mont. I fully agroo with the Rev. Gentle- man that the interests of the public require looking after, for the usual charges for
dominity by the State, the Chinese Govern- ment are, we understand, prepared to hand over the sum of $11,000—the value of the property so far recovered, but this amount is, we believo, deemed insufficient, and a further sum of about $28,000 insisted upon by the German authorities. Both the Ger- man and Chinoso Government seem to base the questions of payment and refusal, res- pectively, upon principles of international law which have yet to be fully argued and considered, but which, so far, wo thlok, seem to be in favor of the German claime.

The writer ence saw in a little grassy paddook some eight or ten fat and healthy pigs and half gcore of geese. From this paddock a narrow, open gate gave entrance into the farm yard, and as evening drew on, the geese ranged themselves in a row at this Thermopylee. Obviously, supper time was approaching, and the pigs wished to return home to their troughs. Equally clearly, the geese had given each other the word not to let them pass through the gate which they guarded, her cruise in search of the S. 8 Namaa, on jolly, good-humored little pig, who trotted H.
