WOODYEAR'S ROYAL AUSTRALIAN CIRCUS.

ON THE FRONTIER..

Bismarck's recent order concerning the frontier between: Germany and France will hardly tend to remove the friction between the two nations. He has given directions that all, foreigners enter- g Germany from France shall have their passports examined and approved by the German Ambassador at Paris, and the consequence of this Frenchman can inte rogantian will be that of Plant as we ensVERYONE DELIGHTED WITH OUR delay. It is probable, that the issuing of this restrictive order is in pursuance of the reprisals threatened by Germany, sqme time ago for the refusal of France to allow German commercial travellers to carry on their business within the borders of the republic."

UMQUÉ

Isn't it comical as well as particularly remark able that the Model, Colony, should be BD distinctly British The British subjects, with long tails, for whose especial benefit the side walks of the city were constructed, are especially prominent. It is actually comical for one without a teït to åttempt to make his way along the side walks, especially under the colunandes, Not to mention the comicai smells, it is empha- tically conical to have a poke in the nose from a bamboo, added to the enforced inhalation of all the perfumes of sweating China, with the exhalations from the extra Varieties of all the catable (by Chinese ́only) concoctions that seem to be vended only on the side-walks. As it is an utter impossibility to get along the streets by using the side-walks, all other kinds of British subjects, as well as foreigners of other civilized nationalities, nust perforce take "Paddy's fair why for it, and keep in the middle of the * road," where they may get the full benefit of the sun or rain, or be pestered almost to death to spend their last ten cents for a chair, nöt a drink --not heste, 25 cents is the very modest figure for which any one can possibly accure a medical censtort, if faint or weary, at any of the claborafe hotels in Hongkong. But➡ :

Isn't it conical that no elfort whatever is made by those in authority to regulate the traffic on the side-wallis The Government is particularly. nuted, amongst foreigners, for the special care it bestows on all its subjects, and remarkably so in the way of increasing the number of them, and providing lucrative positions for them. If only requires a day or two of observation to see how fly this principle is exemplified in the Crown Colony. A visit to the Post Office and almost other office; as well as

run by private individuals, will be sidest the especial care bestowed upon the subjects of semi-l'ortuguese extraction in this respect Possibly the same principle bolds as regards the side-walks, The long-tailed subjects of Mongolia origin have possession of them at any rate, and subjects of European or American origin are perhaps not expected to make use of them at all. It might not be out of place to make some slight effort towards eping the gambling gatherings that occupy the comics and crussings, and at times make it next door to impossible for even a chair or a ricksha to get by them. The comical sights that are visible in 'n single walk down Queen's Bond daring any hour of the day, especially the 'de-walk exhibitions, are certainly unique and peculiar. A visitor from abroad will find enough to occupy his attention during a walk there, and will have no reason to complain of canui. But

Isn't it comichi though, that this fact is not quade evident in the published writings, reports and observations concerning the Model Colony? Neither globe-treflers, or the newspapers (as far as I can learn) have made mention of this particular comicality, and it is remarkably comical that the fact is not announced for the benefit of strangers, who will, as a matter of course, flock to the Colony in large numbers when it is made evident th such especial provision is made for their comfort. When they know that such a large concourse of chair- coolics, and rickshas doubly manned, are at their disposal, and that every arrangement is perfected to compel them to use them, will ye nil ye," they will be sure to come, and, of course, become also settlers in such an admirably managed place. It may be taken for granted though, that they will, previous to setting out for the Model Colony make ample provision of, the needful to satisfy the demands of the coolies who are to relieve them of the necessity of taking pedestrian exercise. When so large a space in the notably broad (?) streets is given over to one particular class of subjects of the Colony, as is actually the case in the city as far as the shaven pited longtailed gentry are concemed, it may be taken for granted that a larger space will be given to strangers, for if not, in accordance with the usual rule, "It would be too comical for anything."

The passport system is a pure relic of bar barism, or Father of the time when every stranger was considered an enemy and required to prove his amicable intentions. It belongs to the period of active hostilitiès, not to a time like the present, when nations are at peace with REDUCTION OF PRICES, each other. Germany can apprehend no dan ger from the visit of foreigners who choose to enter her territory by the way of France, whether they be Frenchmen or natives of some other country. When France gets ready to go to Berlin, if she does, it will be in such fashion that the custonts, officers on the frontier will hardly he in conilition to demand, the visitors... passports; and in the interim the regulation can be only a petty annoyance to the few travellers who seek to enter Germany by that rate.

All these matters, trifling though they may be in themselves, adive intensify the feeling of hostility between the two nations. The fact Ikat France has interposed a barrier the extension of Gernian commerce within her territory is met by a passport regulation on the part of Germany. This wil-naturally be followed by a similar order on the part of France, and then it will take but little to work at cumplete interruption of commercial interesurse hetween the two countries; and from that condition of things to actual open hostilities is scarcely. niore than a step.

The cessation of commercial intercommunica- tion will be especially galling to Germany, That nation has made great industrial advances in the last few years, especially since 1869, when she adopted, in part, a protective system, and she looks to her nearest neighbors to find a market for her surplus products. Labor in Germany is so abundant and so cheap that she has had no and a foreign market is a vital necessity to her difficulty in over-supplying the home market, for the disposal of her cheap-la bar products. If France sets up an impassable barrier on the frontier and declines to allow German manu- factures to seek a market in her territory on any terms, the blow will be a severe one to Germany, and, more than any other thing, may lead in war.

duminated by self-interest, and when het pocket Germany is like every other nation in bejng

is touched she will be certain to squirm. Whether the breaking off of commercial relations would be deemed by Bismarck a sufficient can. belli to warrant a declaration of war would depend on how far-reaching such a rupture would be, but it is entirely safe to say that mutual retaliation will greatly increase the 5.
