THE GOSSIP PLAGUE.

Among the minor discom forts of
life, most people will agree to rank
gossip in the foreground. 1t is idle
to say that gossip is too contemplate
to be noticed as an ingredient of dis
turbance in ones life, because, though
this is theoretically true, the reverse
is the case among an overwhelming
majority Of mankind. We cannot all
be so lofty as to ignore and despise
our fellow-men's opinions and esti-
mates of ourselves; in fact, most of
us have too much of the "old Adam''
to be able to help noticing gossip and
being in some way impressed by it,
Of course it is a pity that one cannot
rise above 1T; but only one person in
hundred, perhaps not more than
one in five hundred can do so. This
very sensitiveness to gossip is the
best argument to persuade any in
dividual to give up gossiping about
his neighbor. If he is SO keenly alive
to its discomfort when directed
against him, he might remember
that the same is the case with his
neighbors and acqaintances.
Church coteries are the most fruit
full of gossip of any associations; each
member uneonsciously acts as censor
on principles in themselves unex-
ceptionable, and to the cravings Of
the lower nature delighting in per-
sonal narrative, no matter how trivial
is added certain sense of response

ABOUT IMMIGRATION.

Between the Portuguese and Ja-
choice. The one is assimilative, the
other is not. The Portuguese has
been brought up in those ideas of mo-
rality and civilization which are in
keeping with the progress of this
age. The Japanese, no matter what
his education may have been, will
always remain the oriental. Why
then does it appear that so many of
the gentlemen of the Opposition show
q positive disInclination to POrtu
guese immigration? We shall en-
deavor to explain, because the AD-
vERTIsER is the journal of truth, and
never hesitates to speak it's mind on
all topics.
The Portuguese is a Roman Catho-
lie, and the Fort Street Church has
the same affection for Roman Catho-
lies that Satan is supposed to enter
tain for holy water. Not perhaps all
the members, because in so large
congregation there must be some lib
erality, but it is safe to say that the
have no love for the mem
bers of the Church of Rome. The
and the other denomina-
tions, who have never mixed in poll
tics, but attended to their own af-
fairs, have no feeling whatever about
the matter. The Fort Street Church
has. 1t does not want the Catholic
and it gags fearfully at
having to swallow him. The Japan
ese immigrant might be converted,
but the Portuguese never. He sticks
to the religion of his forefathers, and
turns deaf ear to the Establishments
of the Fort street sanctuary. We are

THE Pacific
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1884.
NEWSPAPER WRANGLES.

1T is with much regret we announce
that the beautiful and sympathetic
union betwixt the Saturday Press
and the Bulletin has met with a most
disastrous fate. The Press was alto
gether too naughty. 1t regarded the
Bulletin as political wart, and it
esteemed the existence Of that wart
solely dependent on its own possible
reputation.
This led to difference of opinion.
The Bulletin objected to being wart
upon the Press. and the age and res
pectabiiity of the Press forbade it's
concession to being wart upon the
Bulletin. Thus it is that the fairest
newspaper alliance ever foreshadowed
in this Kingdom is marred by a most
damnable Indifference of opinion.
The Bulletin, with the foolish and al
together wrong idea that it has pre-
served its virginity through these
clamorous times, crooks coquettish
finger at the Press-that hoary old
missionary organ not to be beguiled
by such Babylonian seductions-and
says to the Bulletin in brief, my lit
tie dear, your connection with the
members of the Opposition has been
so f1agrant that it completely rules
you out of our set. Politics are one
thing, Deary, but morals are an
other" Thus we behold that most
interesting little circular, the
BatIetisa, abandoned by it's late legal
lessees, in a most Arctic atmosphere;
it is left out in the cold. Our cher
ished little mud-slinger must, per-
force, grow respectable, and with it's
respectability it loses all it's interest.
That clumsy, muckY old mud-scow,
the Gazette, whose hide is Mosaiced
with million barnacles of prejudice
and religious hogwash, will insist
upon kicking away the Bulletin from
it's antiquated bosom, and thus throws
our feverish little newspaper coquette
on the town. What will
be the end of this Heaven only knows.
This clash of hog-learned editors, if it
does not result in revolution, will
surely bring down upon the commu-
nifty the Scotch itch or some other
ID fl epidemic.

bility which dignifies gossip by dis
guising it as the outcome of anxiety
for the moral perfection of society.
This and other more barefaced kinds
of gossip, if you know where to look
for them. would face you in every
street of large city, no matter how
busy or how respectable. Sometimes
men utterly buried in business are
saved from the pettiness of gossip
simply because they are too tired to
indulge in personal speculations
about their acquaintance, but the
women of the family generally make
up for his shortcomings.
There are many varieties Of gossips.
There is the innocent gossip, thought
lessly retailing anything he has heard
concerning any one, giving no heed
to accuracy, but never intending to
distort or alter a word of what he re-
peats, talking merely to amuse others,
and earn a small superiority as the
best-informed man for. the time being;
the mysterious gossip, who never
commits himself to any statement,
but torments his friends by rousing
curiosity which he never satisfies,
asking if they ''have heard about So
and-so," and when they answer in
the negative, sighing and shaking
his head, ever on the brink of reve-
lation, but too much delighted by his
show of power to vulgarize the power
itself by giving commonplace details;
the malicious gossip, who, on the
contrary, delights in details and not
seldom invents them, who has a
theory ready for any occasion, and
gloats over the downfall or the loss
of influence of any individual on such
and such a transaction becoming
known; the imaginative gossip, who
takes hold of the merest on dit and
weaves a romance out of it, always
flying to the most utterly improbable
before thinking of q common-sense
explanation; the sympathetic or par
rot gossip, never originating any
rumor, but always ready to amplify
a given subject and to agree with any
strange tale.
Some day when even Satan him
self grows weary of these gossips, he
will swing his scoop net, and there
will be a gaping void in this commu-
lity.

In the Police Court on Friday, Kanui was
tried on charge of stealing two pair of
pants the property of G. Walters, valued at
