May 5th. The American missionaries having previously urged again the aid of their Minister in the pro- perty difficulties, have receives a courteous reply. and assistance is to be dontinued. It is very doubtful, however, "whether any of the cases of the Americans or English will be speedily settled, awing to the chance for the Governor to excuse himself by the pressure of the literary examina tion in the autumn. This was the mode of delay last year, and may be so this year.
The Governor, anxious to avoid all friction with the students, has been making provision to have a large amount of grain on hand in the city, which may be purchased at more reasonable rates than otherwise.
The Rev. Mr. Richard has arrived on a visit from Peking and it is to be hoped that he may be constrained to take up his permanent abode In this important provincial capital.
Several of the missionarics are now absent fren home being engaged in the famine relief
work to the east and north-east. The people are being relieved in a wonderful way.
The Yellow River still semains the important question. Somewhere, whether in Henan or Shantung, we may expect further floods, and it may possibly be a wise move for the foreigners to kerp back a part of the relief funds for such a calamity. Certainly if all the present funds are at once disposed of, we can hardly expect an- other fund to be started in only a few months hence:
Small-pox has been in the homes of two of the American families here, thus giving a little more diversity to the life endured.
Some weeks since a large amount of money came down from Shansi, the contribution of a wealthy English missionary to the famine work. On arrival it was taken possession of by the English here to be used by them in places and needs nearer at hand.-N. C. Daily News.

May 12th. All sorts of rumeurs are current in the city, we. have been told; ike old Chinese tale of paper men going about and cutting the feathers off people's chickens had been revived, and the people's minds were very unquiet. There had for some time past been an unusual amount of sickness, and the people at first had said this was owing to the medicines foreigners gave natives to carry about and distribute, and which did not kill at once, but after the lapse of months. Now chickens' feathers were cut off and as a man had said to our informant, "you would think it no laughing matter if you understood whoever ents of those chickens, or their eggs, will die." The people were killing the chickens with cut feathers, and looking out for the cutting off ofpigtails, which had been a precursor of the Taiping Rebellion, We were all rather, nenused than impressed, but next day the teacher when he came was most serious about it. His own chickens had their feathers cut, and it had happened during the night, when they had been most carefully shut up, where none could get at them. No the amount of sickness was not attributed to foreigners now; it had been at first, and had given rise to a very bad feeling. But now that people knew that the paper men rode about, they quite understood it. Moreover a woman near by had given birth to a baby without any feet. Distressed by its deficiencies she had thought to kill it, when the new-born babe had spoken, and said "This year Indian corn will grow big like coys' horas. Next year you the rivers will run red. Then the baby had will shovel up rice in basketfull. The year after died, and the woman had buried it, but none knew where, nor had anyone seen the baby. #Before the Tai-pings," said the teacher, "there. was the same sort of prophecy, and it came true then, Who knows, but that this may come true now? The same man on being asked whether he believed the teachings of the missionaries here, exclaimed "No I of course not. Am I not a man of education; could I believe, sach non- sense? Yet he evidently believed in this baby that spoke, and the paper men, who are quite small, like dolls, and are really a kind af Genii. He said also that in consequence of the troubled state of the peoplé the authorities had put out a proclamation which we afterwards saw, to the soldiers:-
"Not to create disturbances,
"Not to frequent wine or tea houses, "Not to join Ko-ti-hui, or the elder and younger brotherhood (of Hunan). Nor risk your 7 fret al body, which is not easily supported nor brought forth without much labour of your parents. If you disobey you will be beheaded, and all your parents' pairs will have been in vain."
This also was in verse.
When asked why 7 feet, when soldiers generally are but s Teet high, he only said "That is to flatter them."

Throne that the railway shall be extended from Tientsin to Tai-nan-fu, and from there to Tain. klang-pu. From that point Li Hung-chang will ute his influence to carry it through his native province, Anhwei, to Wuhu, whence it will cross the Yangtze River.
The Chinese in Peking and Tientsin all say this is the course the railway will take, and, that a branch line is to be sun from Wuhu to Shanghai.
Li is sure to benefit his native province if he can, and it will also benefit himself, as he owns large tea fields in Anhwei, through which the line will run, and Wuhu will be the great sea centre where all teas from Hankow, Kiukiang, and Foochow will be bought and shipped by steamers from that port.-
shoal spots in this direction. A proportion of 6-pounder and 3-pounder Hotchkiss guas has also been ordered for the completion of these defensive works, and they will probably he des- patched in the spring. Another important work, which was the result of Sir W. Crasiman's visit, is the reclaiming of a large, shallow lagoon at the entrance to the "Happy Valley," Beyond Jardine's, called Causeway Bay, It is almost the only flat piece of ground in the Colony bes de the racecourse, and has been reclaimed Az enormous cost. When it is remembered that such spots are the only possible sites in Hong Kong for future graving.docks which are under the protection of our guns, their prospective value can scarcely be overestimated.

accommodation crists for executing the repairs to a couple of ironclads or armoured ships of moderate size. This fact was taken advantage of by the French, in their recent naval war with Tonquin. One regrettable condition obtains in regard to the position of the docks at Aberdeen. This, which contains not only dock. and building slips, but repairing sheds, and steam machinery of recent type, lies on the south west of the island, quite outside the harbour and its adjacent fortifications. Hence it is entirely open to attack from an enemy's cruisers, and might be destroyed without the possibility of shot being fired in its defence. This is a mad blot in the scheme of fortification which has been worked out for Hongkong. But to continue. Another essential adjunct to the completion of the fortress, has been carried out within the past three or four years, out of the surplus £100.008, before alluded to. In a densely populated post. tion, fresh water is, of course, an essential cle ment.

In the last issue of the Chinese Times a deal is stated of what His Ex. Chong Chili-tung, said to the throne in his reply about railways. It would have been much better if the editor-in. chief, the Mysterious One, had first obtained a copy, had it translated, and even facts, instead of his own imagination.
The whole of the replies from the Governors General and Governors in regard to the railways have come in, and the majority have declared to be in favour of railways. All agree on the one point, viz:-That railways ought to be built with Chinese capital, and by Chinese. It is proposed that railway schools and scholar ships are to be established. Some of the head officials are of. opinion that the material for the railways ought to be made by Chinese' with Chinese material, H. 1. H.

Moreover, the establishment of villas right up to the Teak itself, the drainage of which ran into the valley, contaminated the water supply. Conse- guently, it was determined to conduct the water from a copious spring, which existed at a consi- derable elevation near Tv-tam-took, on the south of the island. A heading was driven right through the mountains of solid granite. It was 6ft. high. 4ft. wide, and two miles in length. This stupendous work, which is now completed. was accomplished by means på blasting opera-
tions with dynamite, and pneumatic drilling machines.
It delivers water, without any accessory pumping, as high as Robinson- road, the highest in the town of Victoria. Thus, so far as regards an abundant supply of spring water, the town and anchorage are absolutely independent. The spring head. is, however, outside the radius of defensive works, and consequently liable to the depre dations of an enterprising, foc.

But when it is borne in mind that this "dot" possesses an actual trade influence of 20,000,000 per annum, and that upwards of a hundred large steamers and sailing vessels may often be counted in its capacious barbour at one and the same time; that there are 180,000 permanent residents in the island, including upwards of 8000 Europeans; and that a greater tonnage of shipping is annually entered there, than was registered at the Port of London in 1940-the immense commercial im- portance of the "land of fragrant streams "begins to be partially appreciated. This importance has for a length of time been fully recognised by the heade of great Oriental business houses, not only those halling from the United Kingdom, but from Germany, Portugal, France, and America. When we mention that only a few years ago the Junior mess of Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson, & Co., at Hongkong, received a pecuniary allow ance from the firm of £4000 per annum, the position of these merchant princes in their more palmy days will be understood.
