provenient of the city, neither officials nors in Canton, or he who luda. Ibs ability people deserve to be immortalized for works and anterprin of the Cantonese ? of tuerit. Rip You Winkle could have slept his 20 years here, and awakened without discovering a Carton remodelled by the enterprising activity of its rulers and in-
habitants.
The trests ar paved chiefly with granite blocks, often badly laid together; they are narrow, except in a few cases for short distances; the main thoroughfares a kopt tolerably free from refuse, but aro ovil smelling; the back and side streets in same parts of the city aro clean, but others rook with filth. As for the canals which wind through thickly-populated districts, thoy are too foul for the daily tides to cleanse.
In Canton the drainage is cliccted more by natural forces than by human ingenuity. The rain-floods do goud, so also do the tides, and much is done by intitration-let! sanitary officers my whether this in good or bad. It is true that many streate laye what fro called draius; and for the information of the, Western visitor it may be added that in such streets the pavemont is the sole partition between him and leathsome pestilence-breeding gut- ters beneath--yaritable stagnant ditches of the worst kind. Anyone who doubts this is invited to view the state of affairs when the granite alaba from a "drained:" street are removed for some purpose of repair. Then there is no dustman in Canton, The householder can damp his rubbish at the front door, and leave it there a foster- ing heap as long as his neighbours are dis-. posed to ondare it, without dread of a Sanitary Inspectoris consure.
The way in which Canton is lighted at 27,night. yields as credit to a city of such
dimensions and business prosperity. Paper" lanterns, kerasons lampa, suspended half- pint tumblers with a wick floating in oil-- these in limited supply are the contribution, of the Cantongas to the public convenience.
