He would thus, being known thenceforward as a member of the rich man's household. be left unmolested by people who would have other- wise got the better of him. On the other hand his descendants for all subs.quent genera tions were bound by their ancestor's Cagage. ment, and were at their Hege lord's beck and call, and bound to assist him not only with their -service, but also with their property at need. Their daughters were restricted to the families of other seils for their matrimonial alliances, and in this manner have arisen the tribes of the lanku or tankas,-boat people of Canton,-and to-min of Shashing, These were hideous thates by unborn generations of fellow-men as alaves merely because their ancestor was poor, and we should congratulate urselves that under the glorious Ta Tsing dynasty this hereditary slavery has been for ever abolished.

Mr. Ko Yüb-tung, chief clerk in the Forchow native customs, is held to be one of the richest men in Foochow, and is a Thorai by purchase. His son, a lively young fellow, one day fast month strolled by chance iuto a portrait painter's establishment, where his wandering cye was struck by a likeness of Liu Jung's father sitting RACING BOOTS, in a stately attitude with a peacock's feather in his cap and a string of court leads round his neck. Young Ko was so displeased at this, that he tore the portrait and went away, while the unfortunate anist, still more angry than the uninvited aitic, ran post-baste to Liu's house, and related the incident, embellished with many a term of abuse of old Lia which Ko bad never used, Liu then ́expostulate with Ko, but that, young went off man, far from apologizing for the insult, retorted with words that were oil on the flames of Liu's wrath. Next day Liu, at the head of a body of thirty-four friends, all gentlemen, proceeded to treat Ko to a surprise party at his home in Taishan Street. They smashed up and utterly demolished about Tls. 3,000 worth of ornaments, furniture, and curios in the reception-room, in cluding two magnificent zwi (soup res) of jade, two jade cups, and a laige European mirror about ten feet square and five inches thick, which they broke up with repeated blows of an iron bar.

The fish, however, suddenly cavorted round, and the boatman was washed off and drowned. When the fish was hauled ashore, it was measured and found to be 280 feet long, with a head I feet high and 9 feet broad, and a mouth 3 feet wide.

Captain Woo, who was sent by Governer Liu Liu.

We first entered the mountain pass he failed to find any traces of these aborigines, but by pushing onwards into the inner districts he came upon them. Woo made it so hot for them that the savages had their chief bound hand and foot and sent him with an escort to the enemy's camp. When they presented themselves to Capt. Woo they begged of him to desist fighting for they had had enough of it. They declared that it was their chief's fault, for he would they caught him not give up fighting, and now delivered him up, in hopes that the fighting would cease, and they declared themselves willing to submit to and be ruled by the Governor. Na Ming-lor-wal is the name of the chief, and he is ruler of about ten districts, and there is a chief of each district besides, Capt. Woo had the house of the chief searched, and he found the walls decorated with about two hundred human skulls, all of which the chief had taken. This chief, with his wife and two sons, were sent to H.E. the Governor, who personally interrogated the chief, and after heating all he had to say, Liu Ming-chuan bad him beheaded. The execution took place on the 27th of the 12th moon. The wife and sons of the chief se still locked up in prison at Taepah.
