and June.
There is something of an epidemic in the city and surrounding country. Among the very poor it might be called famine-fever, but among others it is described as typhus fever. One of the foreigners, Mr. Murray, was prostrate with it for several weeks, but is out of danger now, Another, Mr. Richard, having shown signs of the same disease, was immediately removed to the leas crowded city of Chou-ping, and it is to be hoped no serious consequences will result.
On account of health, as well as from other reasons, most of the Protestant foreign popula tion will soon have left these delightful parts. for summer vacation elsewhere. The Roman Catholics, however, remain as usual.
From this absence the foreign affairs at the Yamen may have a further chance for delay. Hence from this, as well as from a' slight pressure brought to brought to hear upon, us as reporters of the press, we will say very little about these matters in future, seeing that already they bave become so conspicuously diplomatic as to involve the good name-or otherwise of several sations and different persons.
If ever we get a chance to record a final settlement, in which all-may rejoice and none feel ashamed, we may once more speak forth to the general public, but at presem exil.
Having, however, said so much heretofore, we wish first to take this opportunity to record our conviction that the action of the U.S. Minister, Col. Denby, in behalf of the Americans, deserves nothing but the highest commendation, and that
if a few of the cases have not yet met with a successful termination, the fault does not lie at least with him. We only regiet to hear the rumours that possibly during the present year he may find it necessary to return to the States. One of the leading gentry, and the wealthiest man in the city, the son of ex-Thotai of Tientsin, by the nine of Chen, has just died He had returned from the mouth of the Yellow River, where he had been purchasing grain, which
he was intending to sell at cost price in the south suburb of the city. This work brought on sick- ness, and while busy in transferring the graia from the river to the city, his frail constitution gave way, and death claimed him as one of her own. Of all the prominent men in the city he is the only one who in the past has dared at times to show a certain friendliness to any of the foreigners. He has been a man of generous character, and had just been promoted to the rank of Totai. The city could well have spared
others instead of him.
The Taoral of this circuit bas just left on an inspection of the Yellow River and especially of the use of the Famine funds. This is by special request of the Governor, who probably has heard, some rumours about the Chefoo Total. The latter gentleman and the Governor are out of sorts just now. The Taotai-some time since

The Chinese Consul has just gone over to China. Rumour, 'our restless old friend, has it that he has been despatched to Tientsin by His Excellency Yuan in order that the latter's views respecting the advisability of promptly closing the port of Ping Yong may be Flearly laid before the Great Viceroy.

Madame Seredin-Sach tin, the wife of Mr. A. Seredin-Sabatin, and her family, have left Keren. Mra.

Talking of buildings in Saul rentinds me of Monsieur Savabel who lately arrived here. He, in common with Mr. Sabatin, is constructing buildings within the palace enclosure in foreign style. A few days ago the city was full of gossip about Savabel being stoned out of the palace. It appears that he accidentally caused a long pole to fall on a coolie, which nearly killed the poor fellow on the spot,. Some eunuchs then came up and protested against such conduct, whereupon so it is reported-Savabel struck This act one of the effeminate cicatures. greatly enraged the eunuch, who gave orders for the French architect to be driven out. Accordingly all the workmen commenced to pelt Savabe! with stones. He fled, got on his Pony and galloped bome; thus escaping the vengeance of the enraged eunuch and bis under- ling.

When the ceremony of joining together in in Royal circles in this benighted city of huts and holy matrimony came off, the King, or the Queen, Palace sent half a million of cash to the Rev. or both, or conjointly-anyhow it was from the

After the marriage the happy pair started into north-north-westerly direction and struggled the interior for their honeymoon. They took a through Wang Hai province until they reached Ping Yang Do, whence they lately returned, after being mobbed in two or three places.
That Mr., Underwood (who has been some four years in Korea, and should therefore know that it would be imprudent in the last degree to take a European lady Into the interior of Koren under any pretence whatever) should have elected to go into the interior of Korea with his bride appears to most prople an act of indiscretion. I am not exaggerating when I assert that the foreign community here, and elsewhere in Korea, were shocked when it became known that Mr. Underwood and his spouse had one up country for their honeymoon.-Shangkat Mercury.

CHUNGKING.
Chungking, ist May, 1889. The Chungking trade is being vastly overdone on borrowed capital, consequently prices are not remunerative, dealers being forced to sell to meet their engagements. Lately very little has been beard of the steamer coming; there was at one time a report that she had been sold to the Chins Merchants' Steam Navigation Company for one hundred and twenty thousand taels, but that rumour has been contradicted. It is pretty
certain that the steamer is not wanted here at all by either merchants or officials—the two classes chiefly interested, but the people at large do not care a straw about her, either one way or another, while there are many who would like her to come, so that they could have a look at her and gratify their idle curiosity to see what the "wheel- abip" is like. At the time the deputies passed through here there were some fabulous reports in circulation as to the regulations that were to be imposed upon the steamer trading on the upper river. These rumours doubtless originated with the servants of these officials, and increased as they circulated around. It was said that heavy money indemnity was to be paid for every
life, lost in collision ; junk and cargo was to be
pald for, right or wrong, and the pilot of the Eteamer was to suffer death, or such other punishment as the nearest Chinese official should order. These rumours evidently had their origin in the discussions carried on by officials in the presence of their servants and other underlings, as it is a common practice for officials to discuss matters of importance in the presence of their servants. From the way in which the officials have acted there is good reason to believe that the adoption of stringent and vexations regula- tions, to give the steamer trouble, has been duly discussed..
