NOTES FROM CHINESE PAPERS.
The Governor of Formosa has bought two fish torpedo-hoats from the Boochow Arsenal, for the coast defence of the Island.
Two kidnappers caught at Hankow on 24th June in the act of stealing a little boy 8 years old, were sentenced to 2,cod blows of the bamboo and exposure in one cangue at the Yamen door for a period.
Not-long ago a telegraph pole was cut down by some persons unknown at Fang-hu Hiang, and the Taot'ai Liu, finding the spot was on the confines between Fang.hu Hiang and Kao-k'i She, exacted the cost of repairs from both these villages jointly, with a fine, in addition, of $400.
Sii Ta-shih, an interpreter between the Chinese and the natives in North Formora, it will be remembered, was condemned to death for
guiding them in their marauding expeditions against his own countrymen, the Chinese. The Governor having discovered that he has an old mother of 80 years of age depending on him for support, has granted him a reprieve,

West of Kal-ping city, Kwangtung provine, in a wild mountainous locality lies the little villages of Ta-kang Trun. The jungle all around is infested with tigers to such a degree that the villagers are afraid to go out at night, Outside the village is a little old temple of Wu-ti, and the man in charge, who is not in shaven priest, carefully locks himself in at night; but two holes drilled in the door afford him a means of looking out and a guarantee against suffoca tion. One night a tiger came and crouched just outside the door for a long time, as if he knew there was a man inside. He then first put a paw in through one of the holes and clawed around, and next inserted his tail to feel for his prey with this sensitive member. The temple guardian maddened with fear, got a chopper and waited for the animal to renew and cut the tail through. The tiger gave a roar that shook the tiles on the roof of the joss-house, Governor Liu Ming-ch'uan har engaged at and then charged at the dour repeatedly, finally Tokio two Japancic weli-sinkers for the dry lands knocking it off its hinges, and on to the man in the, interior of Formosa.

One statement made, however, by one of your North Formosa correspondents, is open to correction; it is the assertion that the Austrian Corvette Fasana was the first man-of-war of that hatlonality that visited Formosa; as a matter of fact it may be mentioned that in former years both the corvette Friedrich, the cruiser Albatross have and later on visited our beautiful island; at the time of their visit perhaps your correspondent did not yet reside in Formosa, The Fasana is likely to pay your port a vigil in a month or two Her Commandant, Baron von Unterteicher, is said to be an eminent scientist; a few years ago he was

In addition to these points of interest to foreigners and especially to missionaries, there are a few other fhers worthy of attention. The other day, the 13th of this month, accured two earthquakes, one at 20 minutes past 4 in the afternoon, and the other al 6 minutes past six No harm resulted, but the commotion among the people, immediately after was something remark able. A general hum was heard to rise up from all over the city, and more or less of enquiry as to the import. If something would arise to bring the officials to a consciousness of duty, whether earthquake, Tsung-li Yamen, or American Go vornnient, it would be a blessing over which the missionaries would hold a rousing praise service.
