were frequently huddled together in mat-shed', living on food doled out to them by the officials and the agents of a Peking Benevolent Society In places where the damage was less serious the people were busy repairing the roads, reclaimin the little soll that was left, and providing accom modation for the future. The people wen quite nt a loss to account for the caus of th disaster, it was Heaven's will, etc. ctc., an nothing like it had occurred in the memory man. The water rose during the 5th day of yo moon (12th August) to a height which it ban attained in previous years, but during that nigh the torrent came rolling down in a mass thirt Chinest feet high, and swept all before it. Th whole thing was a matter of a moment, and nex day the water had subsided to almost its norma, level. One could see from the great loss of lif the short warning the people must have had, fo every village ad a back-groud of high hill which offered an easy escape. The hills all th way up the valley were scored with deep gasbes forined by the water pouring down their sides.
We had to cross the little river on an average about once every 2, and the process, became after a time extremely irksome, especially a it was raining and the water was already at times as deep as was desirable Once our boy and his donkey quite collapsed and got a good drenching. The second night we spent more than half way up the valley in a wretched little templo at the village of Chang to'ao'th, and the next day we trudged on over these eternal boublers and reached To'ao Chia fang bb, where we found a fairly good temple and friendly old priest who was very anxious that we should share in some coal mining venture in which he was engaged. The place has a very picturesque position, but must be very difficult of access at all times. He told us that he sent his coal to some place where the Lin Li ho became navigable, and that it was thence wafted away for the supply of the outside world. The fourth day we ascended To Hus Shan, taking baggage animals and everything with us as far as the little temple on the terrace just below the summit. The ascent was very steep, and not being particularly interesting was fortunately short. After going up we. tifined' at the litle temple before men. tioned, and started on the downward journey, We came down into the Chait ang valley and. found the descent lopger and far prettier than the ascent had been. Indeed, this was the only really pleasant piece of mountain travelling we had. Night overtook us at Shang Ch'ing shui, where we had to content ourselves with rather poor accommodation in an inn. Daring the fifth day we tramped through the valley past Cliai-tang, Hsun siang, Mei wo erh, over the Tai Taihan ling, and late in the afternoon reached Chuang buang hu, a village about to miles from Mount Connolly, where we were obliged again to resort to an inn for a night's lodging. The Chai-Lang valley was rather pretty," and afforded a pleasant contrast in the material prosperity of his villages to the desolation we had passed on the other side of the mountain. Some water inills, grinding incense powder from the wood of the pine and the bark of some other tree, seemed to be carrying on a profitable bust- ness. We passed within two or three Sang-yü, but were obliged to decline a pressing invitation to visit the Chiao-tang (Catholic Misrion). On this side of the Tai-han-ling we again came across signs of the havoc caused by the foods. Tao-Yuan-erh and two other villages had lost 200 of their inhabitants, and were quite wrecked. We found it hopeless to arrive at any estimate of the total loss of life. The number for the villages through which we passed would be from 1,500 to 2,000, but that would represent a small proportion of the total, as we heard of many mines in the bills being swamped. The people spoke everywhere of 10,000, 17,000, and 20,000, but all these figures must, I imagine, be greatly exaggerated. With out a more intimate knowledge of the hill coun- try it would be impossible to hazard a guess, but I have a vague idea that the total is under
5,000.

CHI-NAN FU
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
24th September 1888. The great literary examination has passed; the wajority of the students have already felt for thei homes; no disturbance has in anyway appeared; and the Governor is to be congratulated on the result. A certain amount of seriousness has been attached to the whole contest, which has acted as a restrainer of trouble. This seriousness has been due to the presence of cholern, or some epidemic of that kind, during the nine days of examination; over one hundred persons died in the quarters, some of whom were students, some copyists, some servants, and a few officials. The pidemic is also in other parts of the city, and in the surrounding country, especially to the The disense is sudden and obrth and west. nainful, and the people daily enquire if any good remedy can be obtained.
During the examination one of the main buildings fell in, either damaging in whole or in part some of the essays. It is rumoured that the Magistrate will suffer in consequence.
',
While the officials have been in the examina- tionation hall, the American Presbyterian Mission has succeeded in renting a house for a dwelling.

is situated on the main street near the centre of the city, and behind a shop.. Being rented from an official, who also controls the shop, there was not much chuse for fear. Furthermore the neighbours are all shopkeepers and have shown në indication of opposition. The other day a feast was given to the neigh, bours, in which some thirteen persons par- ticipated. They all express pleasure at having such a neighbour, and all indicate a desire to cultivate further acquaintance. The house is rented by the half year, and a whole year's rent has been paid over at the very outset, this being certified to by proper parties. It should be said that this rental of property has no connection with the disputed piece, which stiff awaits the action of the Governor.
The Governor is still in.. the Examination Hall, but is expected out soon. The number of students examined this year was something less than 12,000.-N. C. Daily News.

6th October, 1888. Sickness has abated here, and although with choleraic occasionally a death occurs symptoms, the epidemic of the summer and nutumn may be regarded as at an end. The condition of Peking is improving, but although no accurate details are known, there is no doubt the mortality there at the beginning oflast month' was considerable,

Admiral Ting, with the two new Armstrong cruisers, is still on the coast of Formosa, for co operation with the Governor's (Liu Ming-chuan) land forces, which seem to find the rebels very troublesome. The savages are brave, harass the troops constantly, cut off stragglers, and pre difficult to pursue in the swamps, forests, and mountain strongholds.

Letterstealing here, which occurs intermittently butnot unfrequently, is generally affected between mid-day and 1.30 p.m., the usual time of refection, during which the Europeans in charge of offices are generally in their homes. The offices at this time, the keys also, will be in charge of the Ting-chals or office servants, a corruptible race, and an occasional string of cash, judiciously administered, will open the doors, permit marauders to foray amongst Consular letter-boxes or the pigeon holes of steamship agencies.-Chinese Times.
SHE SAID HER SAY AT LAST.
.
A rather prepossessing young lady entered the office of a well-known lawyer the other day
"Is Mr. Brief in ?'
Recently an application was made in the Court of Queen's Bench, before Mr. Justice Hawkins' and Mr. Justice Manimy, arising from the pur- chase of a dog from the Home at Batterrea. A rule #iti had been obtained calling upon Mt. Slade, the Metropolitan police magistrate, toshow | and inquired- cause why he should not issue a summons and exercise jurisdiction with regard to an application by Mr. Yeoward. It appeared that Mr. Yeoward had lost a dog, and that afterwards a Mr. Man- nere called upon him and returned the collar which the dog had on while it was in his posses. sion. Mr. Manners stated that he had the animal

"I thought so" interrupted the clerk with a deprecating gesture. "But it's no use. We never throw away money on subscription books in this office. Didn't you see the sign outside, 'No pedlars allowed1?'”
