HOME AND CHINA AFFAIRS.
(FROM OUR "CORRESPONDENT.)
London, 17th January,
A TURTLE STORY.
So much has been said about the Oriental emigration to the Pacific Coast of the North American continent that I desire to leave for a moment the atmosphere of high politics and introduce to your notice a new uffender who is alleged to have attracted the attention of the Californian authorities. At the same time I would besitate to be recognized as tife parant of this little tale, so let the paternity be laid justly at the door of the Central News agency Horo is the story exactly as it came to me on Monday:-
Boatmen in San Francisco. harbour yesfar day captured a large turtle which on bel examined was found to be a wanderer from Chins. Atlashed to its abell was a tablet bearing s Chinese inscription proving that the turtle was a saored one belonging to Feking. How it reached San Francisco is a mystery, sening that its home at Peking is some 6,600 miles away,” ---Personally I see very little mystery about it, for a turtle which is considerale enough to carry round its visiting card showing what church it belongs to has undeabtedly intelligence enough to proceed to America in pursuit of its study of curious specimens of mankind. A note of thanks should, however, be added to the "Central News" editor for so kindly indicating that Peking is a considerable distance from San Francisco,
