YESTERDAY afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a portion of the verandah of the house No. 109, Queen's Road East, fell to the ground but luckily without doing injury to any one.. The amah and child had a narrow escape, bowever, as they had just a few minutes previously been rested on a sofa in that part which gave way. A few months ago the adjolaing house was destroyed by fire and is now being repaired; it is believed that in removing the old woodwork and masonry for this purpose, which were tlod into that of No. 109, the verandah was weakened, and its stability lessened. The bressummer is also much destroyed by white aute, but not sufficiently so to account for Ita giving way. All traffic on the road was stopped for about an hour as a considerable portion of the scaffolding of the house under repair, which was attached to the pillar which gave way, was also brought to the ground and blocked up the roadway. The remaining portion of the verandah is now shored up to prevent further accident.

On the contrary, I always held and still hold that modern alavery, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, whether domestic or otherwise, is contrary, not only to scripture and to the Christian religion, but to that universal religion whose essence is the common father hood of God and the universal brotherhood of man. It is an entirely different question whether the condition of a servant girl in a respectable Chinese family can be called elavery.
