A NATIVE paper reports that some mere supposed
· Kolao members have been arrested at Klakinng. Among them was a' perfectly inrocent man, arrested simply because of his suspicious appearance. After an examination his release effected, a band belag signed by prominent merchants and the relatives of the accused. "Suspicious appearance" isn't at all had, but if this test of honesty and respectability were only applied here, Hongkong would speedily become depopulated.

Wx learn that the newly founded German Club in Bangkok has proved a great success: there are already some forty-two members who thoroughly appreciate the advantages to be derived from such an establishment, foremost amongst which are the good blends supplied.

A STRAITS Chinaman lately employed as a clerk in the office of Mr. J. P. Joaquim, of Singapore, having grown weary of his sojourn in this weary rain of tears, determined to try his luck in the great beyond and with this object la view put a ballet through himself. The wound, however, was not large enough to allow his "spirit" to go free, so he fixed things up with the aid of a Aris. Upon being questioned in the hospital, he explained that one of his eyes having filled, and is the other was also rapidly following suit, he determined that there was nothing worth living for, and acted up to it like a man.
