· CHINA'S SORROW."
Another great inundation of the Yellow River has occurred, this time in Shantung, as will be seen by the following translation from the Hupao "The Relief Committee at the Shang hai Wen-pao Küb, a postal agency, have received the following telegram from Sheng Tactal of Cheloo, dated 25th July :—Telegram received from Yen and King as follows: On 22nd July,
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1889.
GRAY'S INN.
THE PLACE IN, WHICH BACON LIVED AND IN
·WHICH HE WROTE.
Bacon's chambers were at what is now No. 1 Gray's Inn Square. There he stayed from thi time he became a member till he was made Lord Keeper.' Hero he lived, when not in the country, after his fail. From here he dates his 8 o'clock a.m., the Great D'm at Chang-ku | "Essays" and many of his letters: Here be flowed over, flooding the Hiens (districts) of composed many of his great works. Here be Chang-k'iu, Tsi-yang, Tsi-ho, Taing-ching,hed obtained the sumait of his ambition, and Tsow, Chang-shan, Kao-yṣan; Loh-ngan, and had the Great Seal in his possession, He carried Poh-shan, Boats hired to save life, increased, it home here and hence wrote the first letter to expense. Sheng Taciai is begged to telegraph which he appended his new title. These rooms are to charitable societies for help."
also connected with the very darkest part of his career, his share in the fall of Essex. This is. not the place to tell in detail that shameful story, Suffice it to say that Essex had done everything
"Viceroy Li has allotted Tis: 20.000, which Messrs. Yen, P'an, and Sie will distribute în *Tai-nan Prefecture. The Tis, 30.000 from Shang-
hai transferred to Tring-chow Prefecture. Dis. tress great, funds insufficient.
Another telegram from the Total to the Relief Committee of same date, says;-"Mr. Pei-king, the delegate to Tsing-chow, Fu, telegraph that the Hoang Ho never ran before with such velocity and force in Shang! tung as now. "On 22nd July at 8 a.m. a breach in the dam opened over 2,000 feet long, and the Ho xiver Siu Kinng flowed into the Sino Tsing H over to feet deep. Great numbers of houses destroyed and people drowned. Over ID Chew and Hien Districts South of the River turned into Inke. At Ts'ing-chow there must be much water as it lies very low. Mr. Pei-king begs me to wire to you and to Soochow and Yangchow for help, urgently needed to save life Seven or eight experienced distributors wanted in Shantung at once.",
The district of Chang-kiu mentioned above is specially referred to in the Rev: Gilbert Reid's "letter on the Yellow River in Shantung. par. 4. which appeared in these column on the 20th of June. Mr. Reid then said: Above Cbi-tang are four villages ofthe wealthy district of Chang- ch'lu inside the outer embankment, but like the cities before named, they have been specially mided to form a separate embankment around their own little territory. The inner embankment on the northern side continues to be a solid structure. Expecially is this so in the district of Huimin, some 25 fi above the city of Ch'i-tung, where a few years ago ocdurred an immense gap. The gap of the outer embankment is still open, and a large stretch of sand extends even beyond; but the inner embankment is some 50 feet high and zo to go feet wide, a very praise- worthy work," The efforts of the villages in the weakly district of Chang-klu have not sufficed to save them from the relentless Huangho, which, the telegram tells us never ran before with such velocity and force in Shantung." The Chinese officials, it will be seen, have been very prompt to send help, as the calamity only occurred on Monday; we shall," no doubt, soon bear from the Missionaries in Shantung whether foreign assistance is wanted, and it will be forthcoming. Surely this will convince the Throne of the advisability of listen ing to Wụ Ta-cheng's request that he should be allowed to form a proper board of survey and undertake a scientific examination of this irm pressible, scourge, Changklu appears on our map as a little to the south-east-Chi-nan Fu. **.

trial for high treason. Bacon had already deserted him, but he now pressed eagerly forward to be engaged as counsel against him. He was. given a subordinate place among the accusers. Then he that himself up in his chamber at Gray's Inn for ten days and devoted all the resources of, his great intellect to THE Company's Steamship carefully weaving the net, that take his friend in the fatal fold. Nothing was neglected. The law of treason was carefully examined; the facts, alieady too damning, were marshaled in terrible array; both classic and contemporary history were ransacked for striking parallels. One telling illustration, at least, was drawn from scripture. "So prepared, he confronted Essex in Westminster Hall on that falaf day, all shame lest in his desire for a conviction. The management of the case fill a great deal | to him, for we can gather, from the meager report that remains that it was skilul, wr may say atful to the last degree. It was suc cessful; Essex was condemned to be "drawn on a hurdle through London streets" and die thr death of a traitor. He died on the scaffold, bur Bacon's vile work was not yet over. There was still a lower depth of infanty by which he might merit favor, he could blacken the memory of his dead friend'; and so in due time ther appeared "A Declaration of the Practices and Treasons of. Robert, Late Earl of Essex," in which his career was commented on with malignan severity. He seems to have overreached him- self.. Elizabeth did not show him the expected favor, the people murmured at him. After ward, he tried to defend himself in his apology, but neither his own nor

The police, however are not very strict in enforcing the law. Only at times, when an accident has happened by carelessness, a more vigorous effort is made to suppress them. The duels are generally fought at some country ina, within a few miles of the university city, and as the country policemen are not very numerous it is casy to escape their attention. Besides, guards are placed on all roads leading to the village, and the peasants, who are all on good terms with the students, will notify them long before the "gensdarmes," or country police men, can approach. Hacks are always on hand, as they are used to bring the wounded back to the city, and in case a 'signal of danger is given they drive off rapidly, with the wounded and the weapons.
The gendarme generally finds nothing but what appears to be a pleasure party. When he leaves be is closely watched, "the hacks are recalled, and the fights are continued. In some cities students who serve yeats in the army, an application can receive leave of absence for the purpose of fighting a duel, and in other cities the duels are going on under the very eyes of the police, who are notified that a fencing exhibition is to be given. In fact the officials are not at all anxious to suppress the sport, as they know

of having fought's duel, a student is sentenced to three months' imprisonment in a fortress..
The duels have at different times called forth debates in the German Reichstag, and there have always been members who, baving fought numerous deels themselves, would plead in their behalf," On one of these occasions, only a few years ago, a member prided himself on being the only one who ever defeated Prince Bismarck while he was a student. The Chancellor almost | Immediately, and amid loud applauso, stated be ̈ had never been defeated. On the occasion mentioned he had been prohibited from continu- ing the fight, as the blade of his opponent had broken and he was injured by the place broken off.
The Chancellor, while a student at Gottingen, by his skill and strength gained the; reputation of being a crack swordsman. It is staled that be challenged two students the very first day be came to Gottingen, and afterwards defeated both, although they had had much experience. A very cuening trick, in escaping an attempt made by a "pedell," a university officer, to break up a fight, is credited to Bismarck, While he was at Jena on a visit arrangements were made for him to fight a duel at Woellsite, a small village. The pedell-Kabic by name was very much disliked by the students, as he had often Interrupted their fights. He had gotten knowledge thereof, and on the morning fixed for the fight had gone to Woellnits and hid himself under a large barrel uued in a brewery. He had placed the barrel in such a position that he could overlook the dueling place through the bang hole, intending to see all the fight and get the names of all principais. Kable's presence was noticed, however, by some peasants, and by Bismarck's suggestion the barrel was suddenly turned around so that the hola sood against the wall. Several, students then seated themselves upon the barrel and „remained there antil all the fights had been finished, when the unlucky "pedeff was released from his prison and was beaftily laughed at... It is a fact that Blimurck shortly afterward was ordered to leave the "chy by "the university authorities.~-~- Dallimiri Skni
