THE AMOP CONSULATE.
Under the above heading the New York Daily America publishes the following smoilog satire :—
|
Dr. Edward Bedloe, late Consul st Amoy, China, reiterates big statement about the white ants which infest that city and declares that it is absolutely true. "The most interesting things In Amoy," he says, “are the white ants. They devour everything edible, wk all over the premises, break up dinner parties and bite like tarantulas. The off:ll announcement which I made that they had tackled everything in the consulate except the Iron safe did not keep about a hundred gentlemen from applying for the situation. The conclusion was at once drawn that 1 was putting up a job to keep the place, and the applicants worked all the horder." It will be remembered that of all the good Democrats who applied for the Amor Consulate, and they included men distinguished in many callings and in both civic and military life, the practiced eye of Josiah Quincy selected Virgiri is favorite son, Col. J. Hampton Hoge, of Roanoke, to be Dr. Hedine's successor.
Mr. Qincy claims to be something ola phrenologist, and an expert in passing judgment upon the genus homo. In the gallant Virginia Colonel be saw all the qualities which go to make the ideal consul, There were two bamps upon the Colonel's crantum which in particular
marked enthusiasm in anything which be under- took, and the other great staying power.
Dunk Id was again sent out for an airing but did not seem to relish nor improve under the second drse.

Naturally more interest was taken in the third -day's rcing shan in either of the preceding ones, by the fair sex, anyhow, for by sanctified custom it is on that day that they are specially privileged to display their "borsey" tastes and sympathies. However, if the "field" that turned out for the Ladies Purse to-day can be taken
criterion, the women of Amoy connot well lay the flattering unction to their souls that they are the props and the pillars of pony racing there. For a prize which is usually the most coveted of any at race meetings in China, only two gallants could be found to „d› battle, and their mounts were nominated from the JAMO

Apart from this little force the racing was senin raj yable and the finishes, potably in the Champfen, close and exciting.
