THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1882.
YESTERDAY the 29th ultimo, says the Amoy His EXCELLENCY General Sun Kal-kwa in com Gazette, news reached this, that a royal tiger of mand of the Changchow Division having com- an enormous size (described as large as a bullock)pleted his term of office in Changchow, passed appeared at noon at a place called Simbiateng, through Amoy yesterday, says the Gazette of the district of Kangboe somewhere near the spot 26th ulta, in the Chin Wei No. 19 gun-boat for where a tiger was shot sometime in December Foochisw. The Chinese vessels of war in port Last by the officers of the German corvette and the Forts fired the usual salutes as the Chin Hertha. A man named Sam Hsia, noted for 27 left the harbour. We hear that His Excel- tiger exploits, proceeded to the spot and shot the lency will in all probability be re-appointed to the beast but did not wound him mortally, and the post for another three years. consequence was that he sprang on his antagonist and inflicted a severe wound' about his forehead and oneof his wrists and the man is just now lying in a precarious condition.
WE (Foochow Herald) have received informa tion of a most serious affray having occurred a few days ago at Kwang Tow between the native soldiery-which musters about five hundred strong--and the native population, which is esti- mated at between three and four thousand. Our Chinese informant is rather vague, and certainly not very explicit,-regarding the casus belli'; but whatever the occasion, the fray became so serious as to occasion the chief Mandarin to re-
gard discretion as the better part of valour, and to take temporary shelter in Laochow. During the riot, about six of the inhabitants were killed, whilst the number wounded was very con siderable.
TO-DAY, the Glorious Fourth of July, the one hundred and sixth anniversary of the declaration of the independence of the United States of America, is a red letter day in the calendar of all loyal citizens of the Great Republic through- out the world. In Hongkong our American friends are as usual keeping open house, nd celebrating the great day in right royal style, We have dipped into one or two special brews of real American punch in honour of the occa. sion, and we cannot even guess how many more we may be called upon to "sample" be fore midnight. The American vessels in har bour are all gaily decorated, and the "Stare and Stripes are proudly waving in the breeze in all parts of the Colony. American places of business are closed, and even the Consul has come out
of his shell for once, and has been entertaining
his friends and nationals with the lavish liberality of an ancient Roman. It is but right that an- niversaries of such great events in the world's history should be royally celebrated, and proudly
remembered.

two days has been very cloudy; rain was expected and is stili, but there is none as yet; it is very much wanted; the heat of late has been very among the Chinese. oppressive and there is a great deal of sickness
Trade is very dull, both in imports and exports; it is expected that as the 5th clay of the gik month lay past

Proclamations are out in the N. E. part of Chibli against the cultivation of opium; from that part, which last year produced a great portion of the native opium used here, hardly any will come this year; although some of the cultivators have been bald enough to plant, the majority have not. What has been done here can be done in all parts of China; if the Chinese officials really mean to stop opium cultivation, even the boldest

ACCORDING to American 'papers just receiveda
fatal fight between sailors with knives pecurred on board the British ship Orialla, white on the passage from Liverpool to New York. The voyage was stormy, and extra duty had to be imposed on the crew. A sailor named Kehne complained to the captain of the arbitrary manner of the boatswain, Murphy, who threat ened to "get even" with him for it. When the vessel was about ten miles from the American shere, Murphy ordered Kehoe af to attend to Bome rigging, and the latter retorted that there was nothing to attend to in that quarter. The two
then
stepped back a few paces, drew knives from their waist, and met in a deadly encounter. Murphy's blade sank into the left side of directly under the arm. Kehoe forced his blade into the fleshy part of Murphy's thigh. Kehoe fell dead on the deck, stabbed through the left Jung, while Murphy bled profusely. The fight was so brief that the man at the wheel did not think the combatanta were in earnest. The offence being committed slightly over nine miles from the American shore, there is a difficulty with reference to jurisdiction, as outside that distance is defined as the "open sea," and an offence committed on board an English ship on the high scas is tried in England. The prisoner was brought up before Mr, Commissioner Shields, and alleged that he committed the murder in self-defence, Considerable time was spent before any action could be taken, no application having been made by the British Consul for the extradi tion of Murphy, but on his subsequent arrival the necessary order was granted.

We received our carliest inspiration from the toils and cares of life, when morbid imaginations stage, and when we are worried with the daily trouble our ininds, when sickness makes us melancholy and sad, what better refuge is there for us than the theatre? As Schiller says, dream away the real world in the artificial world. We laugh over our own follies, are ashamed of our weaknesses, proud of our virtues; we weep with the unfortunate; the coward grows brave by seeing his own cowardice reflected, and the hard unfeeling nature softens to tenderness and love."
