ONE OF THE 'HOODLUMS,' (Who was once himusil on the stage) „Hongkong, 6th March, 1894. [The average sace person would have imagined that "One of the Hoodlums” had already achieved sufficient publicity, not to say notoriety, by the references made to him and his confrères in our critique on Saturday's performance and which has apparently hurt his feelings. "One of the Hoodlums" claims to have been once on the stage. When he was dimming the brillancy of the foot lights by the ray of his gentur did it never occur to him that it was for the privilege seeing him "fret bis hour" that his patress bed paid at the door?

January, 1st. Owing to diplomatic preasure the French Government has give i instuctions for its troops to withdraw from Timbuctor, which was recently occupied by them.
Affairs in Brazil hava assumed a serious aspect. The insurgent commander, Admiral Gama, who is acting to place of De Mello, recently wounded, issued orders to block the passage of trading vessels in and out of the bar- bour of Rio de Janeiro. These orders have, however, been in many lastances disregarded, and the navies of the United States and the European Powers are only awahing the sanction of their Governments to enforce free and safo pastage for merchantmen of neutral Eswers,
Matters have, however, been forced in an up. expected way. Admiral Gazsa refused to allow passage to saveral American barques, and setually went so far as to fire at them.
On discovering this attack on the "Stars and Stripes the captain of a United States warship went to the aid of the barques and replied to the fire of the fasurgents by a valley of small shell, and then prepared to let her have a broadside.
Gama, seeing that the Yankee meant business, yielded, and farther hostilities ceased.
