The dangerous and destructive diseases
that nave afflicted these islands-syphilis,
Ieprosy. smallpox and measles-are all
foreign, and have entered and ravaged the
Archipelago, either through lack Of knOwl-
edge, or lack of vigilance; eXcusable to
some extent i'm the past, but no longer so,
i'm these times of advanced knowledge and
perfected administratiOn-and we touch on
the subject at this time, to call attention to
the dangers of a farther introduction of the
dread disease of leprOsy. 1t is well known
that Norway has a somewhat painful dis
ti~nction:in Europe, owing to the prevail
enee within its borders of his disease
having a large hospital at Bergen, where
over one thousand patients Were treated at
"a time-and then it is stated on medical
authority, that probably N thousand
other lepers were in the country, cared for
in isolated places by their friends. Norway
sends Us some good people, and faithful
workers but we must be careful that she
does not send US any lepeTs.
And again, leprosy might come to us
from another of our sources of immigra-
ton, the Island of Madeira. According to
a statement that appears in our European
letter. i'm this issue:-" Leprosy is found in
the southern and western parts OF the
island, (Of Madeira) and it is estimated
that between 400 and 500 persons on the
island may be afflicted with leprosy." We
want more people, and we must makee en-
deavors TO import more men, women and
children but his little country cannot
afford to import any contagious diseases
We trust the medical staff of our Board OF
Health will examine carefully every i'm
migrant that arrives for any symptoms
Of a disease with which this country is
already 30 severely infected.

-THE CoMET.-We announced last Saturday
that the Comet reported as seen by residents on
Kauai, on several mornings, had been seen both
morning and evening here. AS a contemporary
would have MS believe that the brilliancy of GER
tain planets, now morning stars" had given
rise to the idea that a comet was visible. We nsy
make our former statements more circuInstantial
by saying that the Kauai observations and those
by the Captain and passengers of the JamesMakee
we're made under circumstances which admitted
Of no mistake, that the passengers by the ID. G.

their arrival here, that Mr.. Jas N. Robertson (the

reporter saw it the evening Of the same day,

EgT Mrs. Turner Miss Mary Cooke Mon
tqEkue) continues to win golden opinions and
golden prizes in Sydney. It is said that . the
success of the Montague-Turner English Opera
Company's season in Sydney has scarcely any
parallel in the history of opera in these Colo
MES. 80 :. Their career has been an unvarying
run of successes, and We quote one incident at
the Gaiety.
Between the operas u presentation was made
upon the stage to Miss Montague, in the pre-
sence of a number of citizens, and the members
of the company. Mr.. T.sM. Slattery, NJ. l.. A,
presented Miss Montague with a valuable
diamond-Studded locket, and gold necklace,
which he stated was offered as a token of the
adm ration she had won from a number of
citizens by her undOubted artistic excellence,
and as some return for the pleasure she and her
talented husband (NIr. Turner and the members
of her company, had afforded the lovers of music
during the past few months. (Applause.) Mr..
Slattery referred III neat e~ulogistic terms to the
merits of Miss Montague as an operate artist in
a varied range of characters, whether as Airline
or Leonora, Elvira or Marguerite, Mariana or
Martha. She had often had to play the part of
u queen, but in every character she had under
taken she had proved herself in the kingdom of
high art Il veritable queen of song. Prolonged
applause Mr.. Slattery then presented Miss
Montague with a highly complimentary address
printed on satin, and bearing the names of
Messrs. W. Neill (manager of the City Bank,
Nicholson Nicholson and CO.., Jones (D.Jones
and Coz, and several other well-knOwn citizens.
Miss Montague in replying, - To you Mr..
Slattery, to the other gentlemen associated with
YOU in the movement, to the audience, and to
the musical public of Sydney, / have simply to
say-thank YOU" Miss Montague then retired
amid enthusiastic cheering. Sydney Bulletin.
We are glad to give publicity to these triumphs
of an accomplished lady and artist, and make
them known to a wide circle of friends in her natal
land and home where she is so warmly remem-
bered.
