        "content_text": "502\n\n4\n\nWe extract a few interesting passages from a recent article of the Paris Figaro regarding the Holy Father, Leo XIII, who puts in practice the advice given by an Italian Princess to a King of France: \"Now, my son, you must stitch\" (il faut coudre). The Pope has been stitching for five years with wonderful patience and perseverance. He has desired to bring back the Governments of Europe to himself, and everybody knows how he has succeeded. Envoys, more or less recognised by Mr. Gladstone, ascend the great Vatican staircase side by side with the Ambassador of the German Empire, with the Grand Duke Constantino Nicolavich, the Tsar's uncle, and Russian diplomats, greatly surprised to meet here. The venerable old man may congratulate himself on his work. At the price of what labour he thus guides the bark of Peter to port, we shall see.\n\nThe writer then describes a day of the Pope's life—his early Mass, his audience to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Jacobini, \"of rare political knowledge,\" and to the other Cardinal Secretaries, each of whom has his fixed day; the meagre one o'clock dinner of a plate of soup, one plate of meat, and cheese, lasting only a few minutes; his afternoon walk or ride, utilised in reading the reports of Bishops or Nuncios; his public and private audiences at four p.m.; his reception of Bishops in the evening; and then, at the end of his long day, his hours in his private cabinet: \"then it is that Leo XIII is able to work,\" concludes the writer.\n\nHis personal appearance and manner is thus described:\n\nTall, thin, dry, his face long, pale and wrinkled, Leo XIII is of delicate health, which he takes little care of.\n\nTHE CATHOLIC REGISTER.\n\nHONGKONG RATES OF POSTAGE.\n\nREVISED JANUARY, 1883.\n\nIn the following Statements and Tables the Rates are given in cents, and are, for letters per half ounce, for Books and Patterns, per two ounces.\n\nNewspapers over four ounces in weight are charged as double, treble, etc., as the case may be, but such papers or packets of papers may be sent at Book Rate. Two Newspapers must not be folded together as one, nor must anything whatever be inserted except loose file Supplements. Printed matter may, however, be enclosed, if the whole be paid at Book Rate. Price Current may be paid either as Newspapers or Books.\n\nCommercial Papers signify such papers as, though written by hand, do not bear the character of an actual or personal correspondence, such as invoices, deeds, copied music, &c. The charge on them is the same as for books, but, whatever the weight of a packet containing any partially written paper, it will not be charged less than 5 cents.\n\nThe sender of any Registered Article may accompany it with a Return Receipt on paying an extra fee of 5 cents.\n\nCommercial Papers to Foreign Post Offices is 4 oz. Patterns for such offices are limited to 8 ounces, and must not exceed these dimensions: 8 inches by 6 inches by 2 inches.\n\nCOUNTRIES OF THE POSTAL UNION.\n\nThe Union may be taken to comprise Europe, all foreign possessions in Asia, Japan, W. Africa, Egypt, Mauritius, N. America, Mexico, Salvador, Brazil, Peru, Chili, Venezuela, the Argentine Republic, Jamaica, Trinidad, Guiana, Honduras, Bermuda, French, Netherlands, Portuguese and Spanish Colonies.\n\nCountries NOT in the Union.---The chief countries not in the Union are the Australasian Group, and S. Africa.\n\nPOSTAGE TO UNION COUNTRIES.\n\nGeneral Rate, by any route:\n\nLetters,......... 10 cents per 1 oz.\n\nPost Cards...... 2 cents each.\n\nNewspapers, ............ 2 cents each.\n\nBooks, Patterns and Commercial Papers,\n\n2 cents per 2 oz.\n\nRegistration, ............ 10 cents.\n\nThere is no charge on redirected correspondence within the Postal Union.\n\nHis austerity is extreme. The spiritual sovereign of over 200 millions of Catholics does not spend £100 a month for his table. His highly-developed nervous system alone enables him to resist the fatigues of his vast occupations and labours. Sometimes he appears dejected or exhausted. Some of good news brought by telegram gives him new life. He is always grave and solemn, always the Pope. The Italians describe his exterior by the word \"ceremonious.\" Gravity is inherent in his nature. His contemporaries recognised this when he was a boy. He never abandons himself, and is not easily provoked to laughter. He would be thought severe, were it not that he tempers the solemnity of his address with the patient attention with which he listens without interrupting those who speak to him.... Leo XIII speaks with the same slowness as the Archbishop of Paris. If the Pope and the Cardinal have not received the gifts of the orator, they are, on the other hand, writers.\n\nIt is stated that not only does his Holiness submit his letters and encyclicals to the Sacred College, but he listens to advice, and frequently after long discussion, entirely re-casts encyclicals he has prepared. As he sleeps badly, he often spends hours in the night in writing these documents. Finally, the Italian ex-Minister Bonghi, said of Leo XIII, that he was \"one of the most evenly-balanced and most vigorous of characters: one who has realised the idea of a Cardinal as traced by St. Bernard.\"\n\nThere was hanged at Steinamanger, in Hungary, a peasant woman from Szordabely, named Lyukas Kathi, the perpetrator of a series of crimes which had excited universal horror. The criminal was fifty-two years of age, short in stature, and of a placid aspect. She compounded arsenic in cakes which she disposed of at a high price to persons who desired to get rid of their relatives. Lyukas killed two husbands of her own, and she was accused of twenty-six other murders, six of which she confessed to.\n\nPOSTAGE TO NON-UNION COUNTRIES.\n\nAustralia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Fiji, via Torres Straits, Letters, 10; Registration, 10; Newspapers, 2; Books and Patterns, 2: Via Suez, Letters, 25; Registration, 10; Newspapers, 2; Books and Patterns, 2.\n\nNatal, the Cape, St. Helena, Ascension, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Letters, 25; Registration, 10; Books & Patterns, 5.\n\nLOCAL POSTAGE.\n\nLetters, per 1/2 oz., 2 cents.\n\nRegistration, 10 cents.\n\nPost Cards, 2 cents.\n\nBooks, 2 cents per 2 oz.\n\nNewspapers, 1 cent each.\n\nGeneral Local Rates?\n\nChina, Tonquin, & Japan, Siam & Cochin China (d), Overland General Route, and the Philippines (d) Via Singapore, 10 cents.\n\n(e)\n\nBetween Canton, and\n\nSILVER QUOTATIONS.\n\nHongkong and Shanghai Bank--New Issue--160 per cent premium.\n\nHongkong and Shanghai Bank--New Issue--148 per cent premium, sellers.\n\nUnion Insurance Society of Canton--\n\n$1,850 per share, buyers.\n\nChina Traders' Insurance Company--\n\n$1,650 per share.\n\nNorth China Insurance Co.--Tls. 1,225 per share.\n\nCanton Insurance Company, Limited,--\n\n$136 per share, sellers.\n\nYangtze Insurance Association--Tls. 870 per share.\n\nChinese Insurance Company-- $215 per share.\n\nOn Tui Insurance Company, Limited,--\n\nTls. 148 per share.\n\nHongkong Fire Insurance Company--\n\n$1,160 per share.\n\nChina Fire Insurance Company--\n\n$9223 per share, sellers.\n\nHongkong and Whampoa Dock Company--30 per cent premium.\n\nHongkong, Canton and Macao Steam-ship Company---$33 per share, premium.\n\nHongkong Gas Company--$82 per share.\n\nHongkong Hotel Company--130 per share.\n\nIndo-China Steam Navigation Company, Limited,--10 per cent discount.\n\nChina Sugar Refining Company, Limited--$207 per share.\n\nChina Sugar Refining Company--(Debentures)--3 per cent premium.\n\nLuzon Sugar Refining Company, Limited--$108 per share.\n\nHongkong Ice Company --$170 per share.\n\nHongkong and China Bakery Company, Limited,--$60 per share.\n\nChinese Imperial Loan of 1879--2 per cent premium.\n\nChinese Imperial Loan of 1881--24 per cent premium.\n\nOn London.--\n\nEXCHANGE.\n\nBank Bills, on demand,.......8/73\n\nBank Bills, at 30 d/s, 8/7\n\nCredits, at 4 m/s.\n\n3/7\n\nDocumentary Bills, at 4 m/s, 3/U\n\nOn Paris--Bank Bills, demand, 4.54\n\nCredits, at 4 m/s 4.62\n\nOn Bombay--Bank, 3 dis.....\n\n.222\n\nOn Calcutta--Bank, 3 dis.......2223\n\nOn Shanghai--Bank, sight,\n\n72\n\nPrivate, 50 dis\n\n73\n\nFlour\n\nHalf day\n\nDay\n\nQuarterly fallen\n\nDirection of Wind...\n\nWet Thermometer 64o\n\nTHERMOMETER, do\n\nBAROMETER,\n\nPrevious day\n\nat 1 p.m.\n\nOn date\n\nat 10 a.m.\n\nPrevious day\n\nat 1.\n\nOn date\n\n10 p.m.\n\nPrevious day\n\nN\n\nat 10 ..\n\nPrevious day\n\n4.ro.\n\nOn date\n\n10 1,\n\nHongkong, Saturday, February 24, 1883.\n\nCHURCH NOTICES.\n\nHOURS OF DIVINE SERVICE ON SUNDAYS AND FEASTS OF OBLIGATION.\n\nCATHEDRAL, WELLINGTON STREET.\n\nHigh Mass with Sermon in Portuguese at 8 a.m. throughout the year.\n\nFirst Mass..........at 6\n\nSecond Mass.......at 7\n\nHigh Mass..........at 9 a.m.\n\nLast Mass..........at 5½ p.m.\n\nBENEDICTION OF THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT.\n\nNovember 1st to February 28th...... 5 p.m.\n\nMarch, April, September, & October 5½ p.m.\n\nMay 1st to August 31st... 6 p.m.\n\nOne hour before the Benediction there is Instruction in Christian Doctrine in Portuguese.\n\n3 p.m.\n\n4 p.m.\n\nST.

EC.3.\n\nI had an interview with the above named to confirm his statement on oath long ago (Colonial naturalization).\n\nIn the course of the interview I found from L. 1375 of 18th Oct. Laws Ord. (Schedule to Colonial Naturalisation in Hong Kong Ord. 9/01) that Fredericks obtained Colonial naturalisation in Hong Kong in 1893.\n\nFredericks stated that he had changed his name in S. Africa and that he had cabled to H.M. the fact. He also produced evidence to show that we had recognised that he had lived in the Colony.\n\nAll we can do now is to wait for their reply, but if they don't reply within a reasonable time, we should press for an early reply.\n\nThe above named was in the service of this Bank from October 1901 until October 1902 when he left us. He rejoined our service in September 1903 and remained with us until November 1909. Again he was re-engaged in February 1910 and remained with us until June 1916. You will observe, therefore, that with the exception of two periods, he was with us for nearly 15 years and during that time his conduct was quite satisfactory.\n\nAs you are aware, he joined the South African Light Horse and was wounded at Colenso - he was invalided home and returned to South Africa as a Commissioned Officer, finally resigning in August 1901. Before coming to us he was, I believe, a Shipping Clerk for 4 years in Hongkong, and he also had visited New Zealand.\n\nI hope this information may help towards securing a passport for Fredericks to leave this country, I suggest that...\n\nSee also letter from A.
