The Chinese question has become very inn portant in the Hawaiian Islands. Since the adoption of the reciprocity treaty with the United States the cultivation of sugar has been very profitable there, and a great many Chinese laborers have been imported by the planters, who are nearly all foreigners, Amer jeans, English, and Germans mostly. The Chinese are numerous enough already, ii they had civil rights, to hold the balance of power in the legislature, and if they continue to increase in numbers as fast as they have increased of late years,. they will soon out

years will be strong enough to take posses sion of the islands and make them Chinese dependency. One Captain Oakford, an Amer ican sugar planter, now in Washington, gives this gloomy view of the Hawaiian prospects. There is only one way of escape from the fate which seems to be impending, and that is for the United States or some European
 power to take the islands in charge. Captain Oakford thinks that annexation to the United
 States is the best way out of the difficulties
 which beset the Hawaiian Kingdom, and
 that ninety nine hundredths of the natives
 are of that opinion.
 Joseph T. Pim, in letter to an English
 paper, disposes of one of the stock argu-
 ments brought against the Irish people by
 English writers, namely, that although they are improvident to the verge of pauperism they marry early and have large families. He contends that the idea that the Irish have a mania for early marriages is one of the most prevalent delusions of the day. Legis- lation ought to be based on knowledge of facts, not on fanciful ideas. reference to the 'sStatesman,s Year Book' will show that, according to official figures, the marriage rate is lower in Ireland than in any of the principal States of Europe, and the birth rate lower than in any save France. He is aware that the registration of marriages and births is not altogether accurate in Ireland but the census returns cannot be called in question. They show that in 1871 the pro- portion of the population that was married was smaller in Ireland than in either England or Scotland, that the Irish do not marry at so early an age as the English and Scotch do, and that the percentage of natural increase of population between 1861 and 1871 was only s.1 in Ireland against 16.4 in England. The official figures show that on the last day of 1878 there were in receipt of poor relief 30 out of every 1000 of the population in Eng land, IT in Scotland, and only 16 in Ire- land; and that it cost for the maintenance of paupers in 1878 6s. 21d. per head of the pop ulation in England, 5s. 5ad. in Scotland, and only 3s. Sd. in Ireland. It is question how far the restrictions on outdoor relief in Ire land account for these. differences and also for the discontent and disaffection which have followed on the distress in the west of Ire land

The New York Times says that number of persons more or less prominent in differ ent walks of life have died in that city with in few months from the direct effect of hy- podermic injections of morphine. Most of them had, according to report, begun the injections in order to relieve themselves from pain caused by neuralgia, rheumatism, or some other distressing disorder. The effect was so pleasant, so delicious, indeed, that they were gradually seduced into such use of mor- phine when they had no need of it, and, soon yielding completely to the habit, were de- stroyed by it. Physicians say that this has grown to be far from uncommon among per- sons of wealth and position, particularly among women, who, after having tried it awhile, have not had the strength to relin- vuish the delightful anodyne. Nor is it by any means confined to New York.

German correspondent of Tue Pau MaX Gazette writes that the financial distress in Germany is very great. Selling prices and land rents falling frightfully low. The result is that debtors on mortgage cannot pay the interest of their debts, and are dis possessed and their properties frequently sold at half the value they had some time ago. This depreciation cannot be attributed to foreign competition, as the importation of corn and other produce has been taxed. It is generally believed that the fall in prices is due to the scarcity of cash.
