THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
endeavoured to describe in a previous letter, there are some lakes about seventeen miles from this, that repay a visit. The first six or eight miles of the road is inexpressibly dull, but, as the foot of the last hill is neared, the scenery becomes prettier with each step. At about three miles from the nearest lake, the mountain pass with a volenno in the distance makes a very charming picture. The first lake renched is a pretty little piece of water; but there is a second and larger lake in the woods. A glimpse of this latter is caught as we descend the hill, but I failed to find my way to it.
If you ever come to this out-of-the-way corner of the world, and feel dispu ed to climb the volcano, take my advice and don't. Part of the ascent has to be made on hands and knees up a steep bank of cinders. (So I was told by an adventurous brother officer; I was careful not to go myself). When you get there, there is little to see.
There are two Japanese inns near the first Jake, where you can procure fowls, eggs and rice, but you must bring your own bread with you. Next week, I hope to be able to give you a full (1) and faithful account of the Ainos and their babita-N. C. Daily News.
NOTES FROM CHINESE PAPERS.
•
A letter from Sungklang says there are 300 men of the Kolas secret society at Sze-ying Tang, and that General T'au Tsing-ai has lespatched Colonel Liu with troops to pastor there and prevent any rising. The Hwating District Magistrate, one of the two District Magistrates under the Suurkiang Prefect, is also patrolling with police in person., Opium diva's have to close at night-fall, to prevent the Kolaos assembling there.
and in the "boom" he sold them, because he did not think they were worth the high prices then offered. Against that little can be said, for it will not do to say that a director shall in no case sell shares, and the point is that Mr. Schst only sold, and in rising market he did not buy, or job, or "traflick," and recently he sold nothin.. Mr. Thomson's came is not so good as Mr. Schst's, We pass the sale of those shares which he held as the agent of his absent principal, and we take him on his own'ground only. He tells us that at the time of the boom he trafficked in 300 shares, and that he did so in joint adventure with other people. Now it might be possible to say some sharp things concerning these joint speculations by one who was not only a director, but also the manager of the firm which kept the Company's books; yet it must be confessed that these deal ings in shares at a time of purely artificial prices can have little bearing on the present circum stances of the Company, and it may be suffici ent to pass the matter with the remark that Mr. Thomson's proceedings were injudicious. Mr. Glass is. in a different case. He was concerned in the original formation of the Company; he was a near relative of the manager, and must have known Mr. Muir's sanguine disposition; he was largely responsible for the trust placed in Mr. Muir; and he should have been jealously careful to give no handle for doubt. Yet he is the only director who has deserted the adventure; he is the only director who was obliged to face the shareholders with the admission that he had sold out all his shares just in time to avoid the smash, Now Mr. Glass's statement divides itself into two heads. About two months ago (we fix the date from a statement of his own) he held 375 shares. Three hundred of these he says he has since sold at from $30 to $10, and the reason of these sales, he tells us, was pressure from the Trustees of the late Mr. Ebenezer McAlister. We will accept that reason unreservedly we will pass these sales as strictly justifiable, There remained 75 shares, and these Mr. Glass continued to hold until Friday, 23rd August, when he sold them at $15. Now what was the position then? Mr. Davidson tells us that in the middle of July be made a minute about the continuously heavy advances, and that on the 26th of July, that minute was discussed, and that then or thereabouts it was clear to him that even if Mr. Muir's forecast of $100,000 of tin was realized, there was but a small margin for profit. Well, on the 22nd of August, the receipts of tin for the half year were published by the general agents, and if Mr. Davidson knew that $100,000 of tin would give at most a small margin, then surely all the directors should have known that $60,000 would give a consider able loss. They should have known that in a sense that the general public could not know it; because the utmost that the acutest of the public could know was that the output was disappointing, whereas the directors knew, or had the means to know, that it was crushingly and ruinously bad. And in these circumstances Mr. Glass sold his last shares. Twenty-four hours later the calls were resolved on; two days later the shares were unmarketable; in a fortnight later. the Company is going into liquidation. Of course Mr. Glass has his explanations. A friend had a joint interest in the shares, and the friend insisted on selling them. That is a trivial plea, Mr. Glass could have said to his friend: My dear Sir, these shares are my only qualification anarlirector; the are the only ones remaining out of 375 which I had two months ago; they are my rnly tie to the directorate, and for me to sell them at this time would be to invite the most disagreeable comments and rather than sell these to an uninformed outsider, I will take over your interest in them at the price of the day." If Mr. Glass had followed that course he would have displayed a just sens of honourable obli- gation; and surely the trifling pecuniary sacrifi- ce would have fallen lightly on one whom a for- tunate combination of circumstances had already caused, to sell in the nick of time, and at good prices, no less than 300 shares. But Mr. Glass failed to take the course consistent with his true interests and be sold his last shares at a time and in circumstances which closely parallel the action of a ship-master who would make off in safety from his sinking craft and leave his par- Bengers to drawn.

In cases of weddings and funerals, when, as we have seen, help is required from all directions, the practical instincts of the Chinese have led to a most accurate system of social book-keeping, by which it is always possible for each host to know who contributed to the wedding or the funeral, and how much.

We have referred to the common neglect of sickness in the family, because the victims are only women and children.' Small-pox, which in western lands we regard ns a terrible scourge, is so constant a visitor in China that the people never expect to be free from its ravages. But it is not much thought of, because its victims are It is exceedingly common to mainly children! meet with persons who have lost the sight of both eyes in consequence of this disease. The comparative disregard of the value of infant life Is displayed in ways which we should by no means have expected from the Chinese, who object so strongly to the mutilation of the human body, Young children are often either not for buried at all, an ordinary expression their death being the phrase thrown out' or if rolled in a mat, they are so loosely covered that they soon fall a prey to dogs. In some places the horrible custom prevails of crushing the body of a deceased infant, into an in- distinguishable mass, in order to prevent the devil' which inhabited it from returning to vex the family: While the Chinese are so indifferent to smallpox, the foreign fear of which they fail to appreciate, they have a similar dread of typhus and typhoid fevers, which are regarded We hope that the disastrous failure of the much as we regard the scarlet fever. It is very Rawang mines will not have the generally difficult to get proper attention, or any attention injurious effects which are anticipated.. Taking at all, if one happens to be taken with either of the story as it is told to us, we find that a number these diseases when away from home. To all of trusted men left almost the management of appeals for help, it is a conclusive reply, "that considerable adventure to one who has proved disease is contagious."

A young lady in America, who lived near a Line of railway on which there was a particularly steep and difficult grade, remarked that she never heard the long freight trains toil by, drawn by a panting and puffing engine, without feeling an impulse to go out and give them a vigorous push from behind. It is this kind of an impulse which characterises to so large an extent Western civilisation as we see it in the last quarter of the nineteenth century these impulses doubtless exist on the part of a few individuals in China.

The so-called "Grand Canal' is at present disusert from the lack of water, and is crossed on bridges. of boats. But as this simple means of transit would abolish the profits arising from narrow, and crooked, planks leading to a ferry, a happy compromise has been adopted, by which the rotten old planks are so disarranged as to lend to the boats, and offer almost as much obstruction as those of a ferry, requiring the uaharnessing of the whale team and the labour of several men to do what ought not to need doing at all. Sometimes ferry-men will condict the traveller to an island in the middle of n. river, and refuse to take him any further, unless the rest of the channel is con sidered as a new and distinct river, for which an additional price is to be paid.
