When fasued they were placed in the hands of a Crete bank for nego- tiation,and were negotiated with Fitch & Co., of New York, on sixty dayw’ time. ~ Within that six‘y days, Fitch & Co. sunk under the panic wave, and \he county has never received any ‘benefit from tho bonds. It is doubt- fal whether tho county will pay them without litigation. The holder says the Interest coupons have been proper- Iy paid every year, but by whom, he refuses to state. It is possible that the holder has cancelled them withont receiving any money, therefor in or- der o' glve them the sppeasance of AY. COOLIES ANU COCOANUTS. A GLIMPSE AT NATIVE LIFE IN THE FIJT ISLANDS—PICTURESQUE LIFE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC. Contemporary Beview. Our sojourn on the island for the next ten days, however, far more than compensated for the trouble. The house is finely situsted on & spur overlooking the bold hills of Vanua Leva. Thelong Undu point closesin the view towards the north, making the part of the sea visible appear one graat lake, and all_sround u the slopes of the hilla and in the plain the young cocoanuts are waving. Let usgo down to the beach to visit the machinery houses and thus get an idea of the work upon au estato of this description. These vast heaps of cocosnut are gathered from all parts of the island, which has a clrcumference of about 30 miles, and after the kernel has been extracted and dried on the long catas or tables, or in the steam drying house, which is the more approved ‘method, it is packed in bags for trans- port by the inter-island eteamers to TLevuks, or by some of the small craft which the merchants employ to collect their cargoes. The price 1n the island is about £14 per ton. But after the kernel has been disposed of the husk is attacked, and by means of various ‘machines populatly called “devils,” is torn into the fibre of which it composed, and cleaned of its dust (which i8 & valuable compost), and turned into bristles for brushes, or trested as fibres to be packed into bales for export. All the laborers who attend tothese machins ore Polynesisus, many of 1hem on Rambi beivg the wild-look- ing Tokalaus from the Gilbert snd Marshall group. Let us watch for a moment the two who are from the New Hebrides turning the screw preas by which the fibre is com- P into bales, One of them is asurvivor of the Carl massacrs, who refused to go home when one of Her Majesty’s ships cawe to repatriate the remusnt who escaped. Throe of them felt that they had enough of the ses and incidents, and preferred to re- main_where they were. They are naked black giants, and as they throw staud out, and the wholo frame is & model of hercalean power. The storehouse s fall of bales ready for the steamer by which we expect to leave, and these find a market in Siduey, while the bristles go to Eng- land.~ 'Wo pass slong by the laborers’ houses, and thero we find the familiar coolics, and hear agsin the “‘Salaam, bib,” often heard when I sojourned in Mauritivs. Mr. Hill is _the only proprietor as yet who has had the good sence to take up abeut 100 of the first ship load of Indian immigrants. They live quite friendly side by alde with the Polynesians, whom thoy term *“Tun- glis.” A curious traffic has arisen be- tween the: the Polynesisn: pigs, which they sell to the Indians, tter wages than them- selves, fo: a doliar a piz; and on the bread-fe.i, which erows in profusion, {and othe: excras, the coolies are be- i and sfeek. Passiog on, we ge¢ into a cocoannt grove, which strotchea a long distance along the coast, the lap of the fall tide comlng up to the very roots of the first lino of trees On some of the trees the nuts are o thick as to defy computation, being indeed tco crowded for growth. As many ss three hundred have been counted on one tree, but this is ouly when they oroas small as spples, forthey fall abundantly in the_struggle of the fittest tosurvive. Still fuzther along the cost we come to other flats and valleys which are also being cleared out for planting with cocoanuts or cotton, and it is eazy to perceive the exports from this one lsland alone wiil, in not many years, equal the exports from the waole colony when T arrived. On ove occasion, when the _ladies went by o o boat on a pienic to a locality cslled Georgia, where the proprictor has another house, I walked with Mr. Hunter, the chief magistrate of Levuka, along the coast a distance which was_ stated to be six miles, but which in the heat of the day, withou: a breath of wind in the woode, I took to bo double the distance, The fm- menso vatu trees were shedding their long tassela ot pink and white flowers, which filled the wholo wir with deli- cate perfume.

From Iron to Steel. Boston Horald. From the contractsfor ship building that bava recently been made in Great Britain, it is pretty certain that, like their predecessora—wooden ships— theizon ships of the prasent are soon to be displaced. The ship of the future,will without doubt,have a steel hull. ‘The change, it iz true, is not a8 important as the change from wood to iron, and yet it is an improvement of great value. By using ateel plates, instend of iron plates, a groat galn of strongth, are much lighter than the fron plates. Thus, it ia catimated that in actusl weight there will ba a di ence in favor of the eteel ships of about one-fifth. That is when laden with what is termed a freight cargo, merchandise that weighs down tho vessel to her sailing depth without fill- abls to carry oue-fifth more than ships of her dimensions now do. It is obvious that this is & great gain, and would in itself often be sufficient voyage, since the running expenses of a steel ship can be no greater than the cost of maintalning & wooden or iron vessel. Another advantage is in the greater durability of steel, for it is amerted that, where accidents take place, a steel vessel will stand unharmed a shock that would completely wreck an iron craft. Of course, the use ol‘-tcel for this urpose has been only made pos- Fiio by the discovery of the Bessemer process of converting iron ore iato steel at a small expense; but this did not make the change practicable.
