RESUSCITATION VERSUS TRANS- MIGRATION.
THE Chung Ngui San Po records a curious story of the transmigration of the soul. It is so circumstantially narrated that it possesses a colouring of truth, but whatever credit one may be inclined to give to it, his suspicion must be aroused when he hears eo many versions of the same etory, equally viroum- stantial in details but differing materially
in main points. We have hoard two versions already, and the one now given by our Chinese contemporary is the third. However, we will proseed to give the one that appears in print.
In the Poonyi dietriot, there is a village called Lo Pin, thus designated after the natu of the olan residing there. A Mr Lo, a mon of middling circumstances in life, had a residence there, and at his death he left behind him a widow and two sons, one named Ahoi, the other Apui. The elder son was intelligent and was inclined to literary pureuite, so that at an early age his writings astonished even the learned, but he was unlucky and died when just arriving at puberty. The mother was naturally very much taken aback by this bereavement, but WEB in a measure comforted by the fact that she still possessed another son. The surviving Bob, however, was very dull, so that the mother despairing of his success in literature, engaged him out as an assistant in a shop, In course of time he married a wife and cujoyed the felicity of a wedded life for about two years when he departed this world on the 20th April last. The whole family was put into great commotion and lamentation by this occurrence, especially so with the

The following extract from a private letter from Pinang may be of some
interest':-
"I hear from some of your old coolies in Laroot who have come here that the Indigo plants have thriven nicely, and that the Chinese have been cutting it and have been speaking to Mr. ----- about it. No Chinese would turn their attention and thoughta to planting and other quiet pur suits.

There are known to be gold-fields in the interior of the Island, gold-fields which have been already worked, and which were only closed about. the year 1700 on account of the ferocity of the aborigines. These persons, we are so to say, appear to be not very much more amiably disposed now then they were in the reign of Kang-hi, for we have just heard of some rather severe skirmishes between them and the Chinese; but it is to be hoped that the benign influences of Western civilisation will gradually make themselves felt all over long-closed sources of wealth will be one more reopened for the benefit of both for. eignors and natives.
