Thus the effort to eject by force not only falled, but left the foreigners in a much better position than before.

Whatever the true inwardness of the impend ing revolution may be, it will not encounter much opposition from men. Trousers are a wide Tastitution, in which there is room for both sexes. If the dailings want them, they may have them and welcome. They have plenty of example for coveting the forked garment. To say nothing of the "disciples of Mr. Bloomer and Mrs. Swisshelm in this country, and the shining pre- cedent set by Dr. Mary Walker, more than one- half the women of the world are wearing trousers at this moment. An Asiatic or a Turkish lady, or a lady from North Africa, would no sooner go out without her trousers than gentleman would walk down Market street in like dishabille.

Whether trousers are more comfortable than skirts is a question which cannot be answered, because there is no one living who has had suffi clent experience of both to decide. It would take a modern Tiresias to solve the problem. But unless our conceptions of the lines of beauty are

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
September 21st, 1891. The students have all come out from the Hall, and the majority have gone home. There has been a little grumbling at the management of the Frovincial Chancellor, and invidious com- parisoas made with the late Governor, who exerted himself to give favors to the student, class and thereby secure popularity.
The last day, as the students came out of the grounds, books were distributed under the case of Mr. James of the English Baptist Mission, who is again visiting us for a few days. Mr. Reid was also expecting to do something in the same line, books having been kindly sent by the Society for the Diffusion of Christian and General Knowledge, and by some funds left for the purpose by the late Dr. Williamson. Unfor- tunately the agent at Cheloo has failed to get the boxes transferred in time. Other boxes that left In June have not yet reached here for the book shop, and so the opportunity for sales- has been Jost, to say nothing of the loss in money.
A few days since a magistrate near here, who has previously furnished proclamations to Mr. Reld for chapels ia bis district, sent to him, to get a list of all the chapels, the native evangelists,' the buildings at purchased, leased; or rented, and also other lilages where Christians were living. The intent was to afford better protection and avoid trouble. The head- men of the villages named on the list were to receive instructions that so disturbance should be allowed. We presume this is due to the arders issued by the Peking Government to all, the Provinces, to have all chapels reported to the local officials.

I am of opinion that the Missionary lots are much the same as in 1870. They failed in their object then, and will fail in the attempt they are making now.

With reference to your previous remarks on October 1, re a seizure of arms at Taku bar, I now give you the facts of this seizure. Upon the searching officers at the anchorage inside Taku Har finding some 150 arms of all kinds in the steamer Sungkiang, from Foochow and Hongkong, the steamer was guarded to Tientsin and there searched by the whole staff, the result being some 500 more were found, including 30 to do bundles of rifles amongst the cargo in the held, for which the Customs at Tientsin fined the steamer Hk.

WHAT WILL RUSSIA DOF
There would seem to be something very significant in the presence of General Alikhanoff the Russian soldier and diplomat, in Cabul in disguise. He was captured while dressed as s Moslem devotee, and although he disclaimed any direct connection with Russia, having left her military service, he is detained by the Ameer of Afghanistan as a spy, which he undoubtedly is. Across the vast expanse of Russia, along her western frontlet, troops are being concentrated in great numbers. It is asserted that on the Pallah frontier there are now 500,000 soldiers, and that the avenues of communication with the interier of the empire are kept constantly at the diposition of the military authorities, so that even more men can be masted on the frontier to caso of necessity.
