In tho lonely island of the Souths Sea*>, Norfolk Island, where Sir J. "W. Heitciprsoii spent some time recentlyduring his visit to the Melanesian Mission, the inhabitants'used to get-little; news 'of tho outside world before the, establishment of the Pacific cable statkn there, as only once a month did a steamer call. "When the cable ■•ame, Mr Henderson told his "Wellington audience on Monday night, the news that came by it began to spreadamong the small community of 1000 souls or so—the descendants of the mutineers of tho Bounty and their Tahitian wives and a handful of Europeans—in such an extraordinary fashion that tho directors on tho cableboard decided to give out something officially instead of allowing all or any,-, thing to go out unofficially, which they could not prevent. So they arranged. to have 100 words a day printed of thecablo news passing through 'to and from Australia, New Zealand and tho outer'world.' Three copies of this'" Norfolk Island Official Gazette " are typed: One is circulated at the Mission Station, the second is posted up at" tho cross loads, and the third in the sa* called "town"—the ruins of the great convict establishment closed in- 1856, but once containing some 8000 involuntary "inhabitants." ; ;.
