Gazette, dealing with the mines of Yunan and the employment of Japanese mining engineers and metallurgical processes for the developnient of the once famous mines of that province, which country, though recovering slowly, is still Buffering grievous impoverishment, the result, of the devastations and depopulations of the Mohammeden wars. Kuangst and parts of Kuangtung have also suffered much from the dire effects of the Taiping rebellion, and the West River banks, once containing large
Dow
numbers of rich and populous cities, are in great part covered with, jungle and deserted A slow and partial recovery is in progress, but nothing will accelerate real and permanent improvement, so much as the full opening of the river to foreign steamers and foreign trade. If the Yangtze had not been opened in 1860 to foreign intercourse it is certain that the cities on its banks, from Chingking to Hankow, would have remained to this day ruinoes and poverty-stricken just as the once thriving cities of Kuangai are now. Foreign steamers will suppress piracy; the regularity, comfort, and cheapness of transit will promote trade; and as interchange becomes easy and 'frequent the fields will once more be cultivated, the towns, will become busy, and the population will gradually nitain order, comfort, and prosperity.
We hope soon to be able to announce that a suitable port for foreign trade has been selected to be opened on the West River, with right of access to it by vessels under foreign as well as Chinese flags. At the first Wuchow seems to be the mole accessible market, as steamers drawing 7 or 8 feet of water can reach it from the sea. The branch that turns off at Wuchow, and extends as fat as Kuei-lin, the capital of Kuangsi, can only be used by small native boats, and is not fitted for navigation even by steamers of the smallest size. Nor is the larger branch that at a point not far from Wuchow leaves the West River and trends in a northerly direction available for navigation, for it is so full of hoals, whirlpools, and rapids as to be practically unnavigable. So that, as far as we know, the river that flows from Wenchow past Nan-ning to P-16 is the only stream that can be turned to account.
Fur many reasons it would be desirable to open Nan-ning to foreign trade but until a thorough exploration and survey is made of the rapids between that place and Wuchow it is doubtful whether the route is, under its existing conditions, practicable. The rapids, of course, can be dealt with by dynamite, and the rocky bed can be cleared away by blasting, but the Chinese will-h slow to recognize the beneficial effects of foreign methods of engineering, and are quite likely to object even to such a simple expedient for making navigation safe and easy as the cable towage or traction system,
The immediate tendency of the opening of the West River would be to benefit Canton, and it may be considered certain that such is the motive of the Imperial Government. The step once have projected would, therefore, at popular acceptance. The Cantonese Guilds, it is said, were much alarmed at the idea that their ancient trading importance would dwindle away for the aggrandisement of French Indo-China and British Burmah, and the opening of the West River will re-assure the Chinese traders that their interests have been cared for by the Imperial Government of Peking and the Viceroy of the Canton provinces.-Chinese Times.
MANCHURIA.
MOUKDEN, August, 1888. Severe drought prevailed during the month of May and June. During those months hardly a drop of rain fell. Gentle and simple flocked to the temple to pray, and many an eloquent appeal with incense and becoming genuflections went up to the Almighty, whom they thus A children in sore ignorantly worship. distress cry aloud to their parents for help and "one such document ran-so those suppliants implored that the ravages of the demon of drought might be stayed by the coming forth of the vapoury Dragon from bis profound abode.

A crop of the poppy can be carried lá a man's
matter of moment to the
wallet and slung over his shoulders, whereas beans and millet or other bulky products require a big team of six or seven animals and a couple of men for transport. In the west, the fands of cause dreadful Autumn every other senson destruction to the late crops; while the poppy ripens and the opium is reaped before the rains come. On this account 1 am told that many farmers in the low-lying regions west of the Lino are going in for it. Then, an important advantage is that the puppy is one of the few crops in Manchuria that admit of a second harvest, and rye or native cabbages have ample time to mature after the fields are clear of the poppy.
That the women favour it is one of the most hopeful (?) signs of the times with regard to opium. They have a weakness for flowers, and a field of full-blown poppies is certainly pleasant to the eyes. Then they the old ladies especially-have far more "say" in the management of the affairs of the farm than is generally supposed. They are the Queens in the farm compounds, and if they Well, the ning speak it is with authority. men have taken the poppy under their own special jurisdiction, and take care of it, just as they care for the children and the chickens.. It is quite a common thing to see half-a-dozen or even a dozen women folks engaged among the poppics, in what seems to be to them a deeply interesting occupation-scraping off the opinn from the capsules. Even little girls of twelve or fourteen may be seen along with their mothers and grandmothers, and each armed with a small cup and lance-shaped knife, It is a light occupation certainly, and coming in immediately after the spring forage on the hills for herbs, and before the cotton harvest comes on, gives them something to fill up-the-otherwise long-day. As one man remarked
"They were better extracting the opium than wrangling in the house." All these things seem to indicate that while the good people outside are fighting over the genealogy of this opium creature, the creature itself is worming its way quietly but surely into the affections of the Chinese people., Were it only. a question of the transference of the monopoly from India to China it would be a bagatelle; but the probabilities, amounting almost to a certainly, are, that wherever the poppy is cultivated the use of opium will follow, and in the case of opium, "how use doth breed a habit in a man 1"

The other side of the shield is by no means exhilarating, even to the most sanguine optimist. You have the Anti-Opiam Societies, and more power to their arm 1 They have the disadvantage, however, of living and moving in an atmosphere of foreigndom, and their influence, we fear, will be confined to a very limited circle of Chinese life. You have the Government. It may raise. the price and fill its coffers with the spoil; byl, as things are at present, it has neither the ability nor the will to put a stop to the thing. You have the native religious systems, which are ethically elfele. I was going to say that the moral sense of the Chinese people had hope in tt. But unfortunately the Chinese are morally senseless. Their morality, like Mahomet's creed, being only in their holy books. It is a frame without a picture, a body without a soul.

ASSURANCE.
HERE is no feature of our civilised life that
Trikes a thoughtful man with more force than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. By payment of a small quarterly subscription any inan of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in coufort- perhaps in luxury--are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many

average. A month ago I had an opportunity of judging of the condition of things in the district between Moukden and Tieling. Among the bills no complaints were made; everything was good except the wheat and poppy, which the people complained of as being somewhat under par.
On the main road, on the other band, ghad suffered more or less from the drought. Beans and millet are light, wheat is another failure, I was told that further
north in the province of Kirin there had been no Jack of rain, and the crops all over were good.
The wheat and poppy crops seem to be the only absolute failures this year. As regards the former, it such an infinitesimal part of Manchurian produce that the loss of a crop is of little consequence. The poppy, while rapidly advancing in favour with the Chinese farmer, is not yet so generally cultivated as to cause the effects of a failure of the crop to become apparent. That losses will be sustained this year, however, in consequence of the out-turn of oplum in certain. In the neighbourhood of Moukden, and between that city and Tieling, the cultivation of the poppy has doubled during recent years.. I am told that the same holds true of the entire province. Not only on the main highway, but away among mountain valleys it is making rapid strides as a favourite product. Not that the producers are the consumers. There is no section of the community who are less addicted to the habit of opium-smoking than the farmer class. In village of 5,000 people I was told there was only one man who smoked, and he was about to go to Moukden, to be cured. Indeed, it would have cheered the hearts of your friends of the Anti-Opium League to hear those simple people enlarging on the evils of the eplum pipe. Their virtuous sentiments ought to have delighted my heart, only there were a lot of poppy plots about, and I reflected that my eloquent friends were after all bul. Chinamen, and in a manner not responsible for their statements. One mag, hailing from Shantung, more intelligent than his neighbours, told me that China had two woes, the Yellow River and opium. This man has the honour of having introduced the poppy the neighbourhood a few years ago, and this year has the biggest field, on his farm set apart for its cultivation, But that, of course, was another matter, and no doubt he will go on
