The COc0a.nut Industry in Fiji.

The cocoa-nuts are gathered from all
parts of the island, which has a circum-
ference of about thirty miles, and after
the kernel has been extracted and dried
on the long vatas or tables or in the
steam drying house, which is the more
improved method, it is packed in bags
for transport by the interisland steam
ers to Levuka'or by some of the small
craft which the merchants employ to
collect their cargoes. The price in the
island is about f14 per ton. But after
the kernel has been disposed of the
husk is attacked, and by means of vari-
GUS machines popularity called ''devils"
it is torn into the fibre of which it is
composed and cleaned of its dust (Which
is a valuable compost) and turned into
bristles for brushes or treated as fibre to
be packed into bales for export. All
the laborers who attend to these ma
chimes are Polynesians, many of them
on Rambi being the wild-looking Toka-
laus from the Gilbert and Marshall
group. Let us watch for moment the
two who are from the New Hebrides
turning the screw-press by which the
fibre is compressed into bales. They
are naked black giants, and as they
throw their force to turn the handle of
the screw, capstan-fashion, their mus
cles stand out, and the whole frame is a
model of Herculean power. The store
house is full of bales ready for the
steamer by which we expect to leave,
and these find a market in ydney, while
the bristles go to England. We pass
along by the laborers' houses and there
we find the familiar coolies, and hear
again the "Salaam, Sahib," often heard
when I sojourned in Maurisius. Pass
ing on, we get into cocoa-nut grove,
which stretches long distance along
the coast, the lap of the full tide COM
ing up to the very roots of the first line
of trees. On some of the trees the nuts
are so thick as to DEFY computation,
being indeed too crowded for growth.
AS many as 800 have been counted on
one tree, but this is only when they are
as small as apples, for they fall album
dainty in the struggle of the tittest to
survive. Still further along the coast
we come to other flats and valleys which
are also being cleared out for planting
with cocoa-nuts or cotton.-CMief-Ja<s-

A Girl Monk.

Matrena Ivanovna, a Russian peasant
girl of two-and-twenty, has recently ac-
quired considerable notoriety in her ma
tive land through the fact that, under
the monastic designation of "Father
Michael," she succeeded in passing
several months in the cloister of Staraja
Ladoga, without incurring the least
suspicion on the part of her fellow monks
that she was other than she seemed to
be. Forced by her father to marry a
person whom she detested, she disap-
peared from her home on the day sue
ceeding her wedding, and upon search
being made, her clothes and two long
plats of her "back hair" were found
near the Wolchotf River, as we'll as a
letter in her handwriting, stating that,
rather than live with her husband, she
had resolved to drown herself. Her
relatives, believing that she had really
committed suicide, forbore any further
inquiry, and mourned for her as one
dead. She, however, dressed in man s
clothing, appeared last March for ad-
mission to the above-named monastery,
and was duly received into the CONTRA
ternity on probation, taking the minor
VOWS, and officiating as coachman to
the prior. There is no knowing to what
ecclesiastical dignities she mi ght not in
time have risen, had not unkind fortune
decreed that q native of her own village
should have been sent to Staraja Ladoga
by his master for correction at the
hands of the brethren, his offense be-
ing inveterate drunkenness. Promptly
recognized and denounced by this in

friend of his youth, "Father Michaer'

be chosen from the various districts, aud
to say that 2S Of them shall cast the vote

WE are not in favor of the Green
back party. Nor is it in anywise en-
titled to take credit for the fact that
the United States have in its green
back issues to-day, $346, 600, 900 as
light as gold or silver and sometimes
at premium above gold. Now, so
long as the government keeps boarded
up $500, 900, 900 of gold and silver, it
can with confidence increase that sum
Of greenback circulation fifty millions
annually with safety, until the whole
circulation of greenbacks reach $780,
OO,OOO and with the yearly issue of
$50, 900, 900 extinguish fifty millions of
bonds. And then by driving bank
notes out OF circulation it could repeat
this operation thus paying off in that
way seven hundred million of interest
paying bonds and substituting in their
place non-interest paying debt, which
then could readily be converted into a
two per cent. bond exchangeable into
gold or treasury notes at the option of
the holder. This would in some mea
sure compensate for the interest il
costs the government to keep $780,
10000 in specie. We are doing this
now to keep up our credit. Before
the rebellion the credit of the govern
ment was good enough without the
hoard of specie.

WE HAD HIM, "but'-(as the LAWYER
says,) he jumped-we mean the editor
Of the Republican. He did say tLat in
fair, full vote the State ought to poll
2o,OOO votes instead of about 12,5OO as
At the last election. On this assumn-
tion, which was his own, we showed
that The Democrats would be in the ma
Jority If tue State were to poll all the
votes he claimed, because Tilden IN
1876 received IL, 3,3Sl votes, which would
give the Democrats SSl majority. But
the willy old fox Immediately jumped
away flom his own figures and said
the State can poll 10000 votes. 1t
never did so; nor did the Republican
party ever poll more votes in it than
1t did in 1876. Now, in 1876 it
polled 1O,576 votes; and If we take the
Repubticdn's assumption, in order to Sc
cure a majority of 10000 the d mo-
Gratis have only TO gain the difference be-
tween 1881 and $1,000, while the Re-
publicans have To gain the difference be-
tween lO,5S6 aud $1,000. If we come
down to 1878 the Democrats have only
to gain the difference between Mr.. Mar
tins vote, 10,576 and $4,000, while the
Republicans have to gain the difference
between Mr.. Jackson's vote, 1906, and
$1,000. This is certainly immense.
and the Republicans have no reasona.
BILE hope Of overcoming the difficulty it
presents.
Then let us look over the field from
which votes are TO be gathered. What
is the resnltP Why, in 1873 the Demo.
cratic party was intact, firm and com.
pact. There was no break in its line
from the Shellpot to the Nanticoke
Not so with the Republican party. Ii
was formally dissolved by convention
Of Its leaders at Dover just before the
campaign of that year opened In this
convention its ablest leaders, Messrs
Smithers and Massey joined in urging
the dissolution of the Republican party.
This left, as the succeeding election re
urns show, 7,77S voters free to join an,
party they pleased; for they were only
requested not to vote in 1878. This re-
quest they implicitly followed for The
returns of 1878 show that only 2,96G
votes were polled against the Demo
Gratis in the whole State. Now, the diff.
ference between that number of VOTES
polled by the Republican party in 1876
and 1873 is, as we have stated, 7,778. OF
these votes the Democrats have a right 10
calm a share. Because it is not
probable, once intelligent voters ge

termlned to reduce them to the com
panionship of negroes that they will 90
