The other day evening at the new bridge, French Settlement, a mad yellow dog bit a little Chinese boy in the face. The child fell and fainted, and the father, mother, and neigh- bows, having picked up the child, pursued the dog, killed it by blows of sticks, and made soup of the heart for the child to drink as an antidote.

GENERAL--BOULANGER. INTERVIEWED.
The following, dated the 3rd elts, is from the correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette in
Paris: --

Certainly answered the general, with mphasis, the advantage rests with me.
Now one last question, M. le Général. In his morning's Figure, which I hold in my hand, 1 st of M. Floquet's new Ministry is given. What do you think of it?
It is not formed; this morning's list is pre- mature.

economy to do so. They last enough, longer, and keep their shape enough better to pay, besides keeping one's dresses so that they always fit as they did when new.
Black silk stockings are the most appropriate 19 well as economical kind for general wear.. The cateur of the evening dress, of course, dictates the colour of stockings and slippers to be worn with it, but a loud, fancy stucking is at ny time in very bad taste, it seems to me. The shape of slippers and shoes is another of my. ads. The misery that some women will endure for the sake of a sipper a grain too narrow is beyond my comprehension. "I want a slipper or boot af short in the vamp ns possible, and full enough so that 1. can walk or dance or even stand still, without tottering about clumsily or stopping now and then to hold up one foot to rest it. There has never been anything so prets made for a woman's foot since I have known anything of such matter's as a bronze slipper and a brosze silk stacking. To me, they ire the most thoroughly 'feminine' things in the world.
"When you get to the skirt, you find my one faible, and that is not so much of a foible as it might be. In my silk skirts, for both street and house, there are two or three reeds run in to hold nut the dress. These skirts do not come up the waist, but button on the lower edge of the corset, to save the extra thickness around the waist. Just below the pocket-hole comes the first small reed, lower down another, and usually one
more.
You may laugh and say "anti-bustic' as much as you choose; it is only to save the extra weight of the material it would take to produce the same effect that I use it. Heaven forbid that anti-bustle should necessarily mean a dress resting on one's heels!
"Starched white skirts, flounced up the back, can be used with the same effect, but I do not like a noisy skirt, and choose the other. The "I shall reserve my plans, and I shall wat reeds can easily be taken out, and the skirt
The interviewer rose, and the general,-with-cleaned perfectly," warm pressure of the hand, bade him good- bye in a pittase of courtesy which was not the Jess pleasant that it had a stereotyped ring, and probably is usually employed by General Boulitiger when he parts with a friendly visitor. The phrase was: 'Je suis toujours à votre ser pice je suis heureux de vous serier la main.!
Then the interviewer bowed himself out, and the at visitor's nine was called."

"I am writing at this moment within a few rooms distance of General Boulanger, who has, just accorded me an interview. For many years the general has maile the Grand Hotel du Louvre his residence while in Paris, and in his large salon, No. 71 on the second floor, he is in the habit of seeing his friends on Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays, from to a.m. to 1.

We have several times referred to the tax of o ahead imposed upon Chinese landing in Australia, and, commented on the unfairness of it. We learn by a letter from Australia that the Governor, has now received a letter from the British Governmens, which is full of the senti- ment of justice, but will no doubt prove moss unpalatable to the Colonial Government, as it Comments severely on its late treatment of the Chinese. The Governor is in this letter recon- inended to frame no regulations regarding Chinese which will impose hardships upon them to which other immigrants are not subject, and reminded that they are amongst the most useful of the immigrants, and have done much for the opening up of Australia,
The festival of Empress of Heaven at Tientsin was celebrated during the most flourishing years of Hien Feng and Tung Chih with great pomp, "incense junke" (as the junks carrying the pilgrims were called) arriving from Chili, Shantung

The pilgrims were allowed each to carry a little merchandise with him, on which duty was not the Jevied, and sell it at Tientsin to help towards expenses of the journey. Although not now celebrated as in those times, the goddess's birth- day still brings together at Tientsin a large fleet of pilgrim junks.

To me, as the representative of the Pall Mall Gazette, General Boulanger courteously accorded almost the first entree. When I passed into the salon I found the general alone standing at the marble mantelpiece glancing over some docu-
inent.
His back was turned towards me as entered, and the first thing that struck me was a certain stoop or roundness of his shoulders, which may be the effect of care or of advancing

I really think I know every line of my body, and can tell in a minute just what I can or cannot wear, and I am sure the time it has cost me has been a cheap investment. A wonian who does study herself can dress much inore cheaply, his no dresses to wear out that she knows make her look a guy, and has always the satisfaction of locking and fecting perfectly well-dressed.

After a reference on both sides to a previous interview with a representative of this journal, the conver satian, conducted in French, took the following turn.

There is one way, though, that do believe in having things alike, and that is in under- wear and in general cutline.
