The great question is what we are to do, failing a supply of money! To make matters worse, the farmer of the Pork monopoly has got into difficulties with the Municipality concerning the payment of a certain percentage which he was supposed to make. This refinal of payment has deprived the Senado of an item of revenue, and, the farmer is already threatening to transfer his scene of operations to the neighbouring island of Lapa, which is in Chinese territory,
The Silk factory in Hospital Street has been ordered to suspend operations on the ground of its being a nuisance. The owners allege that having invested a large amount of capital in the cancein a sudden stoppage would entail heavy lasses, and that as the Government granted them a license to carry on the flature making at the locality in question, they will have to bring in a claim for damages against the Treasury. Choi-yau, the chief proprietor of the concern, has already secured the services of Mr. Pacheco, the Registrar General, and bas 'intimated to the authorities that he will resist the order to close the factory, and if compelled by force to do so, will transfer the business to Lapa. The other factories promise to follow
suit.

CANTON.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT)
CANTON, 2nd April, 1888. The Athletic and Aquatic sports which formed so great an event in last week's proceedings, passed off as successfully as could be desired as regards the former, and the latter were only prevented from proving an equally enjoyable affair by an almost incessant downpour and by a Scotch mist which made every event a mystery until within a few yards of the goals.
The fogs of last week have not proved so disastrous to the shipping of the port as was at one time feared. Two gunboats and three launches piled themselves up in a medley in a paddy field near Shun-tak, and were eventually released from their exalted positions by ganga of coolies cutting canals. The whole country, on account of the heavy rains, has been considerably inundated, making inland navi gation for some days almost impracticable. The steamer Fatskan, which grounded off Chuenpee Point during the fog, whilst engaged running night and day, also got off, without any material damage owing to the dexterous manage ment of her Captain. A fresh south-easter get in-with-the Blood, which must have.added much to Captain Clarke's anxieties, for if the vessel had swung round bilge on to the rocks, it could not have failed to prove a serious matter. The Hankow, in passing, was able to render assistance at an opportune moment.
The band of pirates or robbers captured by the Macao police are anxiously looked for here by many natives whose homes have suffered from their depredations. At one place, omposite the island of Typo, the home of one of the Yale college students was completely gutted, even bis foreign books being hacked in pieces by these scoundrels, and a
All the machinery of the copper cask mint has been received, and considerable energy is discernible in pushing on the completion of the establishment. The enhanced value of makes the profitable out-turn from this taking a more remote contingency than ever. But it is reported that the Viceroy during last summer made some extensive forward contract through the Chinese Minister In Tokio with a Japanese copper syndicate. Therefore, during the running of these contracts, the loss will not be as serious as it must ultimately be.
juries, though little talked abour, is very det and is pleated as the excuse for lyach law and the justification for vigilance committees. There Is a suspicion that money can be used with effect whenever public feeling is not exciled, and we have noticed in the occasional swindler, that verdicts against powerful inch have been received with a sensation of a relieved surprise.
Even in England we observe that in political. trials there is often a doubt about the jury, nad that lawyers rely a good deal upon the almost pedantic legality which, for some reasons.we cannot now discuss, usually characteriza a jury of common Londoners. There is probably some exaggeration in many cases in which verdicts are condemned, as the jury see the winesses. and the commentators do not; but it is difficult to resist the conviction that, with the progress of the world towa d demeuracy, two other process's are going on, viz., that juries fall more and more under the influence of opinion, of teror, and even of corruption; and that the community is growing more and more doubtful whether the great advantage hitherto gained from the institution may not in time, be over. balanced by the evils inherent in the system, or produced in it by some modern innovations..
There is a belief growing, that what is called opinion that is the mass of feeling produced by incessant discussion, much of it over-excited, and much more very ignorant-is becoming the main obstacle to the just ndministration of the law, and that this " opinion," which is not without its weight even on judges and magistrates, influences jurymen to an injurious degree. They are so affected, it is said, by it, that they can hardly weigh evidence and are constantly tempted to obey the "popular "desire as if it were in some way a "higher law." The "temptation, morcover, makes corruption easy, for it enables the recalcitrant juryman to baffle justice by simply pleading an opinion, say, against capital punishment, or against political trials, or against the police, which his fellow jurymen know to be in other cases honestly entertained: The inclination of juries, in fact, to legislate instead of obeying the law is becoming marked in all countries, and tends to diminish grievously the use of law itself as a means of keeping society together. There is a very stern element in opinion, as well as a soft one; and if acquittals in the teeth of evidence grew frequent, we should soon see one of two results.
A new method of preserving oysters in the shell, so as to transport them to any distance in a perfectly fresh condition, consists wholly in a single turn of iron wire twisted tightly around the shells, so as to keep them so closely shut that none of the juices of the oyster can leak out. It appears that it is the opening of the mouth of the pyetir-when-out-of-water-that-causes-it to "spoil."
The export of butler to countries of which the climate prevents its home preparation has long bren a hope in the chemical mind. This seems how to have become possible by a discovery of Pierre Grosfils of Vervier, who finds that a solution of a small amount of salicylic acid in tactic acid; when mixed with the Butler, will keep it indefinitely without altering its properties or impairing its taste.
A new invention to take the place of stained glass is made of a cotton and linen paper, which is dipped into a preparation of alcohol and camphor, which makes it like parchment. From this point it can be modeled and cut into remark- ably tough sheets; entirely translucent, ant ir can be dved with almost the whole outline colors, the result being a translucent sheet showing far more vivid hues than the best glass exhibits,
It has been stated that since the sunflower has been cultivated on certain swamps of the Potomac. malaria fever, has decreased. At the mouth of the Scheldi, in Holland, it is stated that similar results have been observed. The sun flower emits large volumes of water in the form of vapor, and its aromatie odor, as well as the oxygen it inhales, may have something to do with the sanitary influence in question.
The fair sex owes still another debt to the scientist. A lady who had a mole on her shoulder and who, fora this reason, was unable to display her otherwise fair and attractive corporeal possessions, las had an electrical operation performed with perfect success. The mole was perforated with electric needles in every direction. After a week, the male which had been burnt to a black mass, fell off and left the skin in good condition. The new skin shows hardly a trace of discoloration, and she now wears the most fashionable ball dresses with Impunity and success

The use of the mosquito has been at last discovered. Professor Webster
injurious organic matter in the water, instead of decomposing and poisoning people, is changed into 'wiggle-tails, which in due time become mosquitoes, and the winged matter flies away. leaving the water purified to the extent of their ability to remove the impurities. If fish are kept in the water they eat the 'wiggle-tails,' and grow large enough to serve as food for man. Thus the poisonous ingredient of impure water becomes healthful food. Without mosquitoes most marshy or swampy land would be dangerously insalubrious."

Either the injuries themselves would grow stern under the pressure af opinion-as is the case now in America in regard to anarchists, and in London in regard to rioters-or the democracy would consent quite willingly to the supercession of juries.
