A MATCH between the gigs of the men-of-war Omaha and Essex took place at Shanghai last week. Bets had been freely laid and not less than $2,000 were placed on each boat. The course was from the Three Mile Reach to the "Marion; an ebb tide was flowing at the time, which rendered the work exceedingly hard. The. crews were well-matched and a fine race was anticipated. A good start was made, the boats keeping well together all the way. When passing the U.S.S. Ester the Omaha gig was leading by about a length, but eventually the Esser repre- sentative forged her way ahead and won by about two lengths. A return match will take place

Wg wonder where the idiot who wrote "St. A drew's Day in Hongkong" for the China Afail was dragged up! In what part of Scot- land, we want to know, is the word 'difficulties' pronounced as if spelt "deefficalties"! Nowhere, we venture to say, from the Solway to John O'Groats, nor from the Inchcape Rock to the Isle of Skye. The broad Doric of the Covenanters is still the dialect of the Scottish peasantry and is quite common in the large towns and cities, but no Scot that ever went to school "Brownie" always specially excepted-could possibly be guilty of such an atrocity as "deeffi- culties.

Private Folwell deposed that about ten o'clock on the night in question he was in his bed when the deceased stumbled against his cot, and awoke him. He spoke to deceased, telling him to go to bed, but heard no reply. Decessed, who seemed to be slightly under the influence of drink, went out on the verandah. A moment afterwards he beard a man shout from below that Nagels had fallen over the verandah. It appeared to witness that he had walked straight up to the railing and fallen over.

Corporal Avery, whe called the roll, saw the deceased in bed, but did not see if he was drunk. It was his duty, since the accident, to wake any men up if asleep, to see if they were drunk or not. Deceased was not a man who took much beer. He was on good terms with all his comrades, If he had been noticed to be drunk he would have been ordered into the guard-room. Witness did not look upon his being in bed early as a algn of intoxication; some men went to bed at eight o'clock to keep from going to the canteen.
