The magistrate then took him in band and got $too out of him, and another $100 is demanded, I hear, before they will let him eff. The families that have been enrolled have the character ch'a, written in red on the aids of their door.
Fortune seems to have favoured the malcon- tents by pacing in their hands an Instroment wherewith to work their designs. A ceniale foreigner recer t'y contracted with a Chiusman to | build him four tenement houset, and then departed the place. The Celestial has fulfilled the contract, but, unfortunately one of his works I men, at the last moment parily despoiled a grave in search of earth for the finishing teuch to the houses. The grave is elt, the earth removed was not much, but, was fut sufficient handle for a wily rld woman who had watched the uprising of the lenements with great solicitude and enmlly of soul. That grave contained the bones of her ancestors no matter how re- mote, and, had now been descċrated and its an- clent soil used in the construction of a foreigner's house. Such an oppre unity was not to be lost, so arming herself with a gong she paraded the streets, banged. it, ad announced to ali ber Countrymen who wou'd listen the outrage that had been perpetrand by foreign agente.
The Bettish or su porested to the authorities analost this stirring up of animosity, and the affelt was 5 vestigated and found to be con- siderably ex ggerated; an the old lady was warned as to her fu me hehayirut.

Accordingly, the nxt day the law shiding citizens within the walls to show they believed these dreuments opéersphal, or how much they respreitd Buch-preclamations if they were genuine, replied by mobbing Mr. Cockbum, the head of the Presbyterian Mission here, whose duty call him to the city each day. First they staited with sợ ff and fer, but increasing in number they fallowed him nut of the city gate and pelted bim with mud and stones, through the stee's into his own compound, and continued their brutal conduci right up through the grounds to the very door of his house, within twenty yards of Consulate. This was on Sunday, the 17th.
The following day the old weman appeared with her gong again and paraded the streets with berald story, happily without any further mis- chief. It is genitally believed now that the old dame is being run by a city syndicate wha hope to get an extorifenatz price for the land, which she now offers to sell, and then "squeeze "her for the lion share of the spill.

If they were left alone, they would have a hand-rail all along over the bar to find their way in, which would be the finest thing in the world for some of them; but unfa tunately for them this is impracticable, and the old bot safe plan-that the Taku Pilots will have to go out and find out the little shif-« | and changes on the bar for themselves—#11 | have to be stuck to for some time to come yet There la nothing like, personal knowledge after all, hot, like everything else in this world, it his to be paid for, on the Pelho as well as on the grander Whangpon; it is just a question of live and let live, and all concerned would fare better in abiding by li.
