SPARRows- have several times strongly ad-
vocated the introduction of these birds, and once
imported a lot from the colonies, believing that as
insect destrOyers they would be a benefit to the
islands. Our importation we apprehend came to
nothing, for we doubt if the birds were ever seen
after they were let loose and in consequence OF
what we have since read about sparrows we have
ceased to believe in them. Frequent complaints
are to be met with in Australian papers to the effect
that the sparrows multiply so prodigiously where
ever introduced that they become a nuisance, and
drive of all other sorts Of birds

GAMBLING Quite often in these duh days, in the
neighborhood of the wharves. groups of ~boat-bOys
and other natives may be seen playing cards. And
they are generally gambling for small sums, although
the thing is managed SO carefully that the fact
cannot be proved. Last Sunday a constable came
upon a party having their little game on board the
mud dredging machine, anchored OF the Esplanade.
On the policeman showing himself, there was a hur-
ried skedaddle. some going overheard in their trepi-
dation and haste to avoid arrest-a pretty sure proof
that they were gambling. -r-

last as a specially important resolution. Only now,
(says the Witness) after years Of weary effort to
establish purely native schools in New Zealand. are
we awaking to the necessity of teaching the natives
the English language as the only gateway to real
knowledge and the only means Of access to a litera-
ture capable of attracting them. The missionaries in
Fiji, in thus encouraging the learning Of the English
language, are taking a wise course. Among a people
so initiative they have only to secure a few leading
chiefs and they win soon ind every chief in the
group eager to acquire for himself or his children the
English tongue, with which his compeers must have
SO great an advantage over him. The importanta and
powerful body Of half-castes in the country will also
come rapidly under its influence. a large number
have been taught English by their parents, but their
education has been necessarily Of the crudest kind.
The proceedings Of this Conference have attracted
unusual attention IN Fiji, not only from the intrinsic
importance of the subjects with which it dealt, but
because Of the wise, liberal, and sympathetic spirit
in which the wants Of the white man also were dealt
with. Addresses of generalization on the annexa-
ton of the islands, and of respect for the Commits
sioners Commodore Goodenough and Consul Lay
ard), to whom it is chiefly attributed, we're reported
as having been presented while Sir Hercules Robin
son was in the islands. Happy is it for Fiji that
these Wesleyan missionaries, with their vast inAu-
ence over the native mind, see only in their charges
! men Of the same flesh and blood, with no exception
ally noble qualities, and not at all likely to be the
worse for contact with their civilized brethren. II
the Government take the same wise view, we may
hope that these islands will be saved many Of the
troubles which put a milestone for so many dreary
years around the neck of New Zealand.
