SIR ARTHUR GORDON, late Governor of FIJI,
must be a man of eminent ability he is so well
abused, and so highly praised. The planting
interest of FIJI speak of him as the evil genius
of the colony; but note what the missionaries
departure from Levuka -
"To unite under one head tribes such as the
Fjian, never before subject to one common ruler
separated from one another as they were by inter
tribal enmities, and each of them torn by intestine
factions and jealousies innumerable ; to establish
an authority such as has availed to prevent the
further outbreak of political disorders and, above
all, to do this work without calling in foreign aid
by means of the materials to be found among the
natives themselves this is no light achievement.
and this your Excellency has achieved. Turning
from these matters to q subject on which we as mis-.
sionaries are in duty bound to speak, we gratefully
acknowledge the widespread influence for good which
your Excellency has personally exerted upon the
natives. Thus speaking, we refer not merely to that
seemly outward decorum of life which is to be ex-
pected from one in your Excellency's high position.
There have come to our knowledge words spoken,
and self-denying actions done by you in private
which we shall ever remember with admiration and
thankfulness, as evidencing even more powerfully
than your unwearied devotion to your public duties,
that you have the moral advancement of this people
sincerely at heart. By such words and by such
deeds you have taught them that the greatest chiei
has over him One greater still, whose commandment
it is an honor to obey. We pray that the blessing Of
God may 60 with you, and that He may help you to
fulfil your srduous duties in the colony to which Her
Majesty has been pleased to call you, as well az in
guiding the weighty affairs with which you are still
entrusted in these islands Of the sea-"
Sir Arthur is no doubt a very conscientious, as
well as an able man who felt that the native
people of his proconsulate needed more of his
official care, than the speculative new comers;
and he could not, and no man can reconcile in
terests and views SO Numerically opposed-as
were presented for his consideration in the Co.
vernment of FIJI. This distinguished gentleman
is the youngest son of the Earl of Aberdeen, who
was Prime Minister of England in 1852, and who,
with st. Aulaire, of France, signed, Nov. %,
IS43, the joint declaration in respect to Hawaiian
independence.

A Diet of EggS.

Considering the enormous qnan.
titles of eggs wich are imported
annually from France into Eng
land, it wonld seem NJ. only that
the business of poultry farming
is better understood across the
channel than in England, but also
that The English are even more
fond than the French of this
article of food. It is not uninter-
esting to have the opinion Of a
popular medical writer in France
upon the merits and dement's of
a diet of eggs. After explaining
the chemical composition Of a hens
egg, and laying due stress upon the
large proportion Of aabnminoua
matter contained i'll it Dr.. Valour-
eux goes on to assert that some
prudence should be exercised in
iudulging an appetite for eggs.
OF ali the 6OO different modes of
preparing them for the table, the
most wholesome is that of simply
boiling them. But it is not neccs-
sary even in accepting this rule to
qualify it by adding that the egg
should not be boiled too much, as
in such case it becomes very much
less digestible. Another injonc-
ton is that eggs should not be
eaten without taking some liquid
at the same time; and the doctor
recounts a story of a certain
modern Blue Bread who was said
to have killed four Or Eve wives
successfully by inducing them
every morning to eat two eggs
without drinking anything at all.
Moreover, eggs are not be devour'
ed in large quantities at a time
unless the person making the
experiment wishes to have a pain
fui experience Of the maxim, that
Ian egg is equivalent to a quarter
of q pound of meat.
Apropos Of this latter warning
the Frenchman might have added;
If he has known it. a very modern
Devonshire story of laborer who
was ordered by the village doctor
10 eat eggs, aud whose employer
gave him a shilling 70 enable hin
to comply with this order without

in that section. He has forty.two
acres Of fine rice estimated to pro-

The same acreage planted in
wheat would yield about $500.
He has eight acres of excellent

value per acre Of the thitty.two
acres, planted in rice and cane, is
over $50.
