Thereupon the man's laodlord stepped in, and preferring a claim against the deceased for money lent, demanded that the bones should be transferred to him as was complied with, and the relatives are now said to be considerably perturbed about the matter, but truly we think that they might do worse than leave the creditor in quiet possession of his osseous security.

THE U.S.S Swatara left for Yokohama on the 19th, inst, under urgent telegraphic instructions from Admiral Belknap, of the U.S.S. Alliance, now in Yokohama, under orders to proceed to the Caroline Islands in consequence of trouble having arisen there between the Roman Catholic and Pretestant converts. Owing, however, to three or four of her officers having been granted sick leave, she will make up her complement from the Alliance. It is somewhat extraordinary that a vessel attached to the Asiatic station should have to proceed on the lengthy voyage the Alliance now has before her. Owing to the absence of coal in the Carolines, the vessel will proceed under sail the whole way, reserving her capacity in Yokohama, for use on the way back, when the prevailing winds will be more or less adverse. The nearest coaling place is stated to be Brisbane. Under ordinary circumstances the Swatars would have remained here until Yokohama was declared 'an uninfected, port, when she was to have proceeded there to get a new shaft

IT may interest Western readers to know that John Chinaman takes quite kindly to cycling. Yesterday evening a middle-aged Celestial, with the end of his queue tucked into his belt, wabbled along Queen's Road Central on wooden-wheeled tricycle of the bone-shaker " type. His erratic steering caused many a narrow shave with rickshas, and at times he had the far-away yearing look that we have seen on the face of the Western, wheelman when he would like to get off and walk.
A NEW literary venture--or rather a resuscitated on-has reached us frem Daf Nippon the Tapan Review, published at Kabe. The original publication was started in 1888, and in its new form bas incorporated with it the Revue de Fepas. The main idea is to combine the features of a newspaper with those of a magarine, ad in so doing, having the larger clientele of both English and French readers, it should be a success. Two very fair photographs embellish the pages, and the get-up is extremely creditable.

COMMENTING on the reported loan of. Tik 30,000,000 to the Chinese government at 53 per cent.,, by a German syndicate at Peking, the C. Daily News says:-As it stands to reason that the paltry interest mentioned is totally inadequate to remunerate the lenders under such circumstances, it is obvious the El Dorado is to be looked for elsewhere; and the only possible direction in which to look, is indicated in the clause which stipulates that the loan shall carry with it the exclusive privilege of supplying a certain quantity of railway materials, If it is to the profit to be drawn from this contract that the Germans trust in order to insure them selves against the risks, of loss we have enumerated, and to secure a satisfactory return on the capital they are about, to invest, we are sorry for the railway. Nothing, however, can be said to be absolutely settled as yet. Whilst, from the information before us, there is reason to believe that a preliminary agreement in connection with the lean has been actually signed, there are no doubt still many matters of detall to be arranged. If the attention of the Imperial Censori is attracted in time to the pro- posals new under consideration the well-known adage that "there is many is, and the whole edifice so carefuly and perseveringly reared collapse after all. And in the event of such a catastrophe, we are by no means sure that either party would have any genuine claims to condolence.
