REVIEW.

HANA, A DAUGHTER OF JAPAN,"

BY GENSAI MURAL

Published by the Hecki Shimbun, at Tokio.

Mr. Murui has trained the public what to expect from his pen, and his latest volume, displaying some of the characteristics of the Japanese, confirms his hold upon the interest and confidence of a large circle of readers. He deemed it his duty as a writer to do some thing for his.coautry at this national crisis, and wrote the tale "Hana," for the purpose of translation. The author's first intention was to contribute to one of the foreign magazines, but he was advised by Gen. Kodama to publish it in book form, and the present volume, tho-

roughly in japanese style, is the result of his advice. He has been a prolific writer on the affairs of his own country, about which he always speaks with affectionate entbusiasm. In

The most brilliant function that was ever witnessed at Macao-these were the words that the Colonial Secretary, speaking, for the Goveiner, uttered in the course of his loast at the Bachelors' Ball on Saturday last. Dr. Lello had but succinctly described what was the opinion of one and all among the very large- gathering that assembled to do honour to the hospitality of the bachelors' at the Club de Macau on the evening of the 26th inst. From a social point of view the ball on Saturday bespoke a barmony and an enthusiasm seldom seen at any gathering, much less in one that comprised so large a number of people in this City. And from the artistic standpoint the commitice brought their united labours to bear upon the four ensemble of the Club building exteriorly and interiorly in a manner that dues credit to all who were responsible for the unqualified success of a delightful evening spent amidst the youth and beauty of Macao. In response to the invitations there were no less than 07 ladies present at the Ball including many, from 'mgkorg, those from Canton being unable to come owing to the regatta taking place, in the routhern port. Amongst those present were noticed Dr. Alfredo Lello,

Relevant to the letters that have been ap-. pearing in the local Press, regarding the absence of conveniences in the Public Gardens, casca came on before Mr. Hazeland this mom- ing in which cross-summonses were taken out for assaults alleged to have place in the THEATRE Gardens on the afternoon of Thursday last. The evidence showed that in consequence of complaints made to a certain resident on Wednesday evening by his amah regarding the interference, of the Chinese gardeners. and Jukongr employed in the Gardens, he, în company with two friends, went to the Gardens after office hours, and on arriving, there his child informed him that a gardener had kicked her hat away when it was lying of the glass, and told her to get out of the Gardens. Die went up to the gardener aud remonstrated and as the man tried to run away, he caught hold of his queue: An Indian constable came along and told him to let the gardener go, The complainant, however, desired to know why the man had interfered with his child, and refused to let the man go until he was answered. was alleged that the constable then struck him on the lower side of the left jaw, clutched him by the coat, to drag him away from the gar dener, and in doing so, wrenched the button off bis coat and tore the button-hole, and the tight sleeve. He then let the gardener go, and told the constable to follow him to the Central Police Station, where he would be charged with the assault. Inspector Withers testified to the appearance of the complainant when he arrived at the station, the turn coat, wrenched-

THE SUPPER.

At 2 a.m. there was an adjournment from dancing to supper. At the appointed her the portiere dividing the hall from the supper room was drawn aside and the bowery-like appear ance which the latter apartment presented excited the admiration of all the guests present The profusion of flowers and veidant arches overhead, together with the pat-plants against the colonnades and the palms on the walls made of the theatre-stalls a temporary garden, whose artificial lighting was obtained from incandescent lamps hung from the ceiling. At the farther end and on a higher level was the stage, decorated after much the same style, the picturesqueness of the scene being added to by the display of numerous lanterns. There were twenty tables for the guests with seating, build-accommodation for 170. While justice was

done to the excellent menu provided by direc assisted by Messrs. J. Fernandes, L. Remedios, tion of Messrs. E. Jorge and Nolasco, Jr.,

D, Ribeiro and Gil Pereira, the British naval band discoursed fine music to the delight of a charmed crowd of listeners. The following is the menu :-

The decoration and illumination of the rg were most efficiently carried out. As one ascended the pathway leading to the Club from Rua Central a blaze of light shone above in the hundreds of coloured lamps that picked out the front of the building and the Japanese lanterns which lighted the entrance from the -arches of evergreen and flowers over the iron railing. Along the whole length of this fairy lamps twinkled brilliantly in the little vesseis of pretty variegated hues. Once within the er tionce the national ensigns were the first objects of attention. Over the main doorway the fortuguese flag hung against the wall, and on either side of it-to the right, the British flag and to the left, the Stars and Stripes. Over the side doors were suspended the tricolor and the flag of Italy to the right, while to the left the Spanish colours and the eagle of Germany were in conspicuous evidence. The gentlemen's cloak-room occupied a position near the entrance. It was presided over by two sailors from the gunboat Din who did duly as only the "handy-men" only know how to do.

The large dincing-ball was simplicity itself in the matter if its decoration. Long mirrors on the walls and bracket lamps were the only ornaments in evidence. A second dancing hall was provided in the old billiard room. Here the artistic display of Mr. F. Brandio found amply scups on the spacious walls. From the ceiling hung fine silk em broideries of exquisite Chinese design, and workmanship, and over the doors and windows stretched the beautiful wall-hangings from the choice collections of Equit de Senna Fernandes and Mi. C. A. R. d'Assumpção kindly lent for the occasion. The blackwood furniture in this room was placed at the disposal of the Committee by the kindness of Commendador Ho Ling Wong. The Club card-room was converted into a buffete for the evening where choice confectionery and dainty cakes could be had throughout the evening. There was an improvised card-room for gentlemen; but the Terpsichorean votaries totally disregarded the pastime in this quarter. The lighting of the balls was the subject of general and favourable

In the result Mr. Bazeland fined the defendant $5 in first case, and in the second case ordered the constable to pay $5 to the complainant aq.com. pensation for the torn cost! The whole affair seems to be the outcome of an omission on the part of the authorities, and should have the effect of impressing upon them the need for certain reforms which have recently been

advocated.

THE TOAST.

The only toast was that proposed by Dr. Lello, in the course of which he said that the Governor greatly regretted that on account of

his health, he was not able to be present among

so brilliant and charming a gathering in which were united the social elements of Macao and Hongkong, in behalf of the Governor he thanked the committee for their special invite, lle said that the ball was the most brilliant and enthusiastic one that Macho had seen and that it could rival the best of its kind in Eu- rope. As the function has had such a success- ful issue, it behove all fer one and one for all to promote for the future many pleasant gatherings, forgetting any little differences that might bave existed and which might stand in the way of the realization of his wishes. He added that there could be no more apportane moment, in the name of the Governor and in his own, to tender his congratulations to Dr. Pereira Marques and the other members of the committee and those who assisted for the success that crowned their labours. He pro- posed "Vivas!" to all, which were loudly responded.

the introduction to his latest interesting story we find it set forth that, during the last fifteen years he has produced thirty-eight large works, novels and biographies, in fifty- nine massive volumes of four thousand and two hundred chapters, besides more than twenty minor serial stories, numerous assays and notes. At the same time he commanded the staff of editors in the Hochi Shimbun, which has the largest circulation in the Japanese Empire, and also held other important appoint ments. He long anticipated the present war, and as soon as hostilities commenced he wrote a little book called "Gurishi Tokuhon," a pocket menilor for soldiers and sailors, and General Fukushima regards it as a timely reinforcement of more value than a regimeri of artillery. Following on this we have "Hana," which, white adding another laurel to a chaplet already sufficient to satisfy an ambitious writer, is produced by one as his share in the great war- The most stuk ing feature of the volume, as one first takes it up, is the artistic manner in which
