at about half-past two o'clock. The mass
OF news matter had all been sent to the
type room. The telegraph editor had just
received ''S0," (the last telegram). The
foreman of the type-room was getting ready
to clock the FORMS" preparatory to send

managing editor had come into the room
where the telegraph editor and your cores
pondent sat. He was waiting for that last
telegram to be sent over, preparatory to
closing up the editorial offices for the night.
He stood contemplatively before the CRATE,
conjuring up political schemes in the mys-
tical lore of the Goals, and relieving the
wirework of his brain occasionally by see
ing how straight he could spit off
hand at an ember. Mr.. Telegraph Editor
took the telegram from the envelope, and
glanced over its contents with sweeping
look. Turning suddenly upon the manag-

good ready at red-hot coal, he said,
rather abruptly, Cannon Kingsly is

And he shot into an inner room with the
motive force Of $40, and the zeal of a live
newspaper man. In d moment afterwards

gallop to the box, and the cachinatory thrill
of his tender voice shrieked through the

Russian Houses in Winter.

The windows are invariably double, and
the space between the sashes invariably
covered with layer of fine sand, designed
to absorb moisture and prevent the frost
from silvering the panes. Twisted horns
of paper containing salt are set in and
sometimes the sand is concealed by bed
of moss. There are no outside shutters or
blinds, for they would be useless, since the
windows remain closed all winter, being
carefully filled in around the edges with
cement. Heavy curtains of rich materials
still further deaden the effect of the gold
upon the glass, substance much more
permeable than is generally believed. Open
places are rare; when they do exist
| they are only used in spring and autumn.
They are closed and filled with flowers

Opium.

Our attention has been called to statement in
the AdDerfiser, that half ton q 900 pounds)
Of opium was imported in the bark Kvik from
Hongkong, and that there are one and half
tons in the country. On inquiry, we find that
but twelve cases of opium were imported by
this vessel, consisting of forty pounds each, or
$50 pounds. Previous importations by the
licensed firm for the year were 76s pounds of
prepared, and 400 lbs of crude, equal to 500
pounds of prepared. Added to this was an
invoice which had been in the custom house in
bond, for two years, of 400 pounds, making the
total for two years 2, 44s pounds. As these i'm
portations pass into bond, the customs author
tiles probably know very nearly what the ac-
tual consumption has been, and about how
much the stock now is. So far as we can
learn, there is no large amount here unsold
besides the $50 lbs. brought by the Kvik,
which is probably in bond, and if unsold when
the licenses expire, must pass into the hands
of the only party authorized to sell-the
Board of Health, or be re-exported. The law
passed by the last Legislature forbids the i'm
portation and traffic in opium after the date
fixed by it, August sth, 1875; but like all
laws will prove Intellectual, unless
greater vigilance is exercised on the part of
the authorities than is now done respecting the
traffic in liquors to Hawaiians

Policy of the New Governor of FIJI

Several Populations waited upon Sir Arthur
Gordon, K.C., MIG, the new governor of Fiji
in order to present to him addresses previous
to his departure from London. The princi-
pal one was composed of members of the Abo-
rhymes Protection Society, and included Mr.
M'Arthur, MP, Sir Charles Wingfeld, K.C.S.
l., Sir F. POWELL Baxter, DIR. Sandwich, CB.,
and others. In replying to the address, the
Governor said:
81 thank you most heartily for the good opinion
which you have done me the honor to form, and to
express with respect to my past administration of
colonies placed under my government and for the
kindly wishes towards myself personally which your
address conveys. The foundation Of the new colony
of Fiji is in many ways q matter of no slight mo-
ment; but it is you have observed in connection
with its bearing on the abuses of the so.ealled ID
Dor trade that it is chiefly interesting to the society
which you represent. trust that in tie exercise of
the large powers with which 1t Is believe intend
cd to entrust me as her Majestys High Commission
or In Western Polynesia, may be enabled material
y to check If not wholly to Suppress those acts of
practical violence which have excited such Just and
general reprobaion throughout the civilized world
perceive, however, with satisfaction that whilst
sigmaiizing as they deserve the atrocities of this
nefarous traffic, you not insensibe to the ad-
vantages Of well-regulated system Of immigration
into the new colony, without which, / fear IL
would be impossible to anticipate speedy or extern
sive development Of Its natural resources and which
may, believe, under proper safeguards, prove to be
an equal benefit to the employer and employed.
The important questions to which you call my at
tention will all undoubtedly receive my most careful
consideration Irejolce 10 know that you recognize
and appreciate the spirit in which her Majesty's
Government has dealt with such of these questions
as 1t has already handled aud need trust, hard
ly assure you that it will be my endeavor TO carry
out in the same spirit the instructions may from
time to time receive.n

New Guinea.

A full and influential meeting was held in
London April Is at the Royal Colonial Insti-
tute in Pail Mall, the Duke of Manchester in
the chair, and three Australian Governors be-
ing present, viz, Sire Bowen, Sir S. Fergus
son, and the new Governor of FIJI. A long and
interesting paper on New Guinea was read by
Mr.. Niche, the Agent General for Victoria, in
which he advocated the annexation of that
country, separated from Australia by a narrow
strait, as important for strategical reasons,
because any hostile force occupying it could
cut off intercourse with the Queensland coast
from the north. Captain Moresby, of the
Basilisk, spoke of the survey he had made of
New Guinea, and testified to the broad dis
tinctiOn observable between the mild, sociabIe,
and light-skinned people of the east coast, and
the savage ebonY-black Papuans higher up in
the mountains. Whatever was done, he trusted
the rights of the natives would be respected.
DR.. Mullens, of the London Missionary Society,
next spoke, regretting the hard tone of the
paper, and its entire silence upon the Christian
view Of the question. He wished the country
annexed, not so much by the hand of force as
by the victories of the Gospel. He described
the similarity of New Guinea to Java, stated
that his society had mission among both the
classes of natives mentioned by Captain Mores-
by, and ended by expressing belief that even
