When in China. land became. purchasable and bequeathable, the industrious, thrifty, intelligent and frauchilent became its possessors, and then with competition she started on a career of prosperity, which is regarded as one of the enigmas of history. This stimulus lo industry ant: comemy bax ・nly partially existed in this country; impotence and squalor have resulted,
Prospects of Tongking-It is sad to contrast the present aspect of affairs at the Metropolis o French Indo-China, with the sanguine auticipa tions entertained concerning its capacity a score of years ago. Here, in Tongking, the colonials are also sanguine, but indubitably their hope and confidence are based on more solid ground or tangible facts. With an area one-fourth that, of France, with two-thirds of the population of that country, with alluvial lands of exaordinary fertility, with highlands of inexhaustible Finæval forests and affluent in almost every variety of minerals, certainly this Procctorate promises to be a cornucopia for its possessors.
Under certain conditions three rice crops are procurable aunually, and it has been found that vegetables and fruits of south ern France are readily acclimatisable: two successive crops of excellent potatoes have been produced in a single cust season. Three million hectares of marshland are reclaim ible, which it is believed will yield milliards of francs to the exchequer, A hundred million francs judiciously expended on public works would go far towards industrial progress.
Our obtuse morning contemporary must have been unusually mud-headed when it copied this missionary advertisement from the Shanghai paper; some of the staff must have known that the two wamen sought to be elevated as first rate martyrs were common cocottes of the second class. But the worst of rubblah is good enough for the Daily Press; nobody ever expects to see anything in its columns worth reading, outside its law and Legislative Council reports; the test, for all the ability in it, might be. put together by the Chinese office boy.

In their day they were a common topic of discussion everywhere, and if it be actually true that they managed to gull the soul-saving missionaries, why, the general opinion will probably be that the mission aries were gulled with their eyes open. But the shepherds should not have given themselves away by trying to make a New Magdalen business out of it.
GLIMPSES OF TONGKING.
(Concluded) Farming of Opium.-Annamese kings were before Chinese Emperors in interdicting the bane of their race, and both were equally impotent in suppressing the importation and consumption of the drug.
At the commencement of the present year i syndicate to whom the monopoly of importing, fabricating, transporting and vending opium was conceded, commenced its operations, and already forty balls, or a picul of opfum is boiled daily on the premises of the Company-eighty charcoal furnaces and as many huge brazen bowls are required for that work and about a hundred
men.
Importation of oplum is restricted to Laokal and Haiphong--the former is situated near the head of Red River navigation on the borders of Yunnan, from which province the drug that it in common use is imported-Indian opium is imported into Haiphong.
Last year the imports into Tongking were

| afterwards, he died. Three surgeons gave three different opinions ns to the cause of death. One said it was not through the immediate effect of the blow, but that of general disease. This opinion was accepted by the jury. It was, however, admitted that, under ordinary circum stances, and due care and attention, the poor man might have lived some years longer. To our thinking, this was tantamount to declaring that life had been shortened through the excuement caused by the violence of the attack - made upon him by the police, as well as by the effec's of the blow he had received at their hand. The coroner and jury, however, took an ST. opposite view of the matter, and returned a verdict that Curner died through natural cases, and not by reason of violence. Had the inquest- been held on the body of a policeman who had received an injury at the hands of some one of the crowd assembled in Trafalgar-square, and. died shortly afterwards, when it was discovered that the man was really in a bad state of health, would the corener and jury have taken a similar view of the maiter?. We doubt it. In all likelihood a verdict of manslaughter, or even wilful murder, would have been returned, and the delinquent, if found, sent for trial on one or both of these charges.

What at present chiefly attracts attention at Hahoi is the projected railway to the Yiinnan frontier up the Red River valley which is designed to make this city the entrepal of Southern China, by tapping the vast mineral region of Yunnan, and to supply it with European, Indian and Chinese commodities, an end contemplated by Anglo-India through Siam,the Burmat route not being feasible. In this commendable, rivalry and competition, the physical difficulties which French engineers have to surmount are less formidable than those which confront the British. | Tokia Meanwhile it is not to be supposed that the Chinese will remain supine ; the avenue to Yün- nan by the Yangtse which is capable of being improved, and further supplemented by rail- ways, will enable her to compete with the Bay of Bengal' and the Gulf of Tongking for the commerce of her south western province-The world at large cannes but regard this pacific contest of three great nations with lively interest.
