THE MORAL AND IMMORAL
QUALITY OF DANCING.
There is a conviction in the minds of many good people that round dances are immoral. The waltz is not so popular as it once was. It has Kicetne to be considered a dubious sort of an amusement. Many judicious parents who have given some attention to the subject, have come to the conclusion that it is not a desirable amuse- ment for their children. They assign some rea- sons, which in their minds are controlling ones. In several religious denominations, dancing on the part of members is either forbidden or is
absolutely condemned by the ministers. Yet it is practised more or less by the members of nearly all churches where there is not a positive prohibition. Several orthodox religious bodies have within a few years had cases of discipline where the offender was charged with dancing. These cases have sometimes been treated gin- gerly, because there was not much unanimity of opinion touching the practice. It is impossible to make a declaration that all dancing is im- moral without violating the truth. If the articles of church discipline forbid the practice, that should be enough for the particular member, and the case is closed against him. But dancing is immoral or quite moral, according to circum- stances. Round dances have been carried to : excess. Those who have carefully observed results within the last few years do not need to

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1882.
A NEW METHOD OF DREDGING.
The following description of a new and very simple process of dredging rivers is deemed of sufficient importance to telegraph from Oregon to the Eastern Press: "The steamer Walla Walla began cutting through the bar of the Columbia River at St. Helen's, and in two days had made a channel 1,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, and twenty-two feet deep. There were only about eighteen feet of water on the bar (which is composed of pure sand) when the vessel was put at work. Her after-ballast tanks were filled so that her stern rested on the bettajii, while her bow was away out of water. When she began to turn her screw and reached forty-five revolutions per minute, huge bodies of sand, some of which seemed as large as wagon-beds, rose to the surface and were driven down stream and disintegrated by the strang current, sinking into water from forty to sixty feet deep. When it is considered that the dredge would have required from forty to fifty days to excavate a similar channel, the achievement seems a most remarkable one. The other bars of the Columbin and Willamette are to be dis- posed of in like manner,"
There must have been a strong current to have carried off the loose sand. Suppose the screw of the steamer had struck a sunken log? In that event the screw would have been broken. In still water, where the bottom is mud, the turning of a screw in that way would have little effect. In the

"Now, dear," said Mr. Breezy, leading his wife carefully over the sands, "you must wet your "Do you suppose I have never been in bathing before?" asked Mrs. Breer, giving an extra tug at the skirt of her bathing suit; and looking over her shoulder to see if any vulgar men were taking in her more or less graceful costume. "Mr. Breezy, you talk as though I had lived all- my life in the backwoods of Ohio and had never got a sniff of salt water. I am just as familiar with surf bathing,

"Now, Mr. Breezy, I'm not a baby," said Mrs, Breezy, jerking her arm away from the grasp of her husband, and making a vain attempt to walk gracefully over the rough beach. "I'd like to see the wave big enough to knock me over, and you needn't suppose I'm going to cling to that old rope and miss all the fun. The rope is all ery well for the old people and the children. If you are afraid, Mr. Breezy, you had better go back to your bath-house and put on your clothes." "But you know, my dear, you can't swini, and there is a very strong undertow here, they say," said Mr. Breezy, once more grasping his wife's

I know you will have all you can do to keep from drowning without bothering me. You can't swim any more than I can, and l'advise you to cling to the rope on your own account, and stick to it.

"Forty dollars Forty dollars for licking a man! Why, I can't go that."
“Well, pull his nose, then. The last case I had of that the fine was only $15. That will reduce the gross sum to $30."
"I want to tear him all to pieces, but I can't. afford to pay like that for the fun. How much would it cost to him?

"Well, that's an assault, you know, but the fine might not be over $10. I guess $25 would see you through.”

"Well, about $20 would cover that."
"I can, hardly hold myself, but $zo is pretty steep. Can't I call him a liar?"
"Oh, yes. I think $15 would cover that?".
Well, I'll see about it. I'm either going to: call him a liar or else tell everybody that he is no gentleman, or else 1 give him an awful pounding. I'll see you again.

"But you will stay inside the ropes, won't you, dear?" urged Mr. Breery, stumbling along after his wife, and cursing the luck that ever brought him to the seashore.
"I don't know whether I will or not," said Mrs. Breezy, striding boldly toward the breakers and Tolding her armis in a determined manner.. “It's Just as safe outside the ropes as in, and I can take care of myself anyway, no matter where I am.
