BROTHELS OR NOT BROTHELS ? To Tax EDITOR. Of the "Nashuang Telegraph." SIRA the Tiltgraph is the only paper published in China whose guiding principle is fair play and no favor and also because Ita columns are ever open to those who have legitimate grievances to redress_I, with all confidence, appeal to you to give publicity to the following well based complaint. For many
years past one of the greatest of public pulsances in this colony bas" been that engendered by the many so-called coffee-houses which flourish in this City, Now, It is a well known fact that many of these establishments are but common brothels and unlicensed drinking dens of the worst description which flourish and wax wealthy at the expense of the legitimate and licensed publican who contributes a pretty heavy impost to the general revenue and who is entitled to all the protection that the authorities can extend to him. Hotels, by law, are forced to close their doors at IT p.m.
and should any of them fall to this respect the police would quickly be on their track (at all times, of course, excepting the palatial Hongkong and the popular "Vic.) but these infamous "shebangs which under the luring titles of “Coffee-houses " and "Temperance Halls" are allowed to revel in pandemonium-like riot, well Into the "wee sms, hours o' the mora," making the neighbourhood hideous with discordant music and ribald song. As all this goes on apparently without let or hindrance, one may be permitted to speculate as to whether there people are under the special protection of police, or not? Again are the latter empowered to interfere with the practises of these houses, they being of surposed private character. Feeling certain that attention has only to be drawn to this glaring and disgraceful evil Í leave the matter entirely in your hands and those more immediately
concerned.

SIR-I read with mingled amusement and disgust the religious Billingsgate, which some. missionary wrote in your columna yesterday. It serves to prove what I have alware sald, that the detestation with which missionaries are regarded in the East is due to their ignorance and 11-breeding. The language which he employs is what almost every one of them uses regularly. A few years ago, one of that ilk named Talmage, at either” Swatow or Amoy Interrupted his sermon to greet some late- comers with the pleasant remark.

Some iden had suddenly struck Dr. Mackenzie He was not given to thinking usually, but t' making up his mind all to a moment, and t acting on the resolve thus made. He had been acting hitherto, towards this girl, on one of these resolutions: that it was right that she, the only marriageable person in the Mission, should be given to the most promising convert from heathenism. The convert was ready, willing, gled; but, was it possible ? . .
There was a great flesh of doubt in that "Ah!" which somehow sounded down the room, seemed to entangle itself in a hideous Joss in the dusk near the door, and catas back uncomfort- ably to the doctor's ear. He was speaking his strange new fear aloud,
It was uncomfortable work, this thinking. Dr. Mackenzia stood up, and shook off his mood. It must be tea-time." So he went out, and into the parlour, to be free from himself.
There was Gregory King, sitting in his arm- chair, Mrs Brown opposite, and Peter Wong biting his nails furiously. standing near the door, like a shy schoolboy, Dr. Mackenzie walked to the fire-end of the room, and asked Mrs. Brown for a cup of tea.
He was not half through it when Maggie's voice sounded close by.
"Here is your picture, Mr. King. I have quite finished with it."
The doctor turned round with a siart. Mrs. Brown nearly dropped the teapot. And Peter Wong walked up and looked over Gregory King's shoulder at the mysterious b't of paper.
It was plain every one was confounded. Mag- gle herself was crimson. Mr. King alone kept his presence of mind.
