It was reported by Chiasse this morning that the Wingdong, the first steamer, under the British dag, placed on the Hongkong-Wuchow route, came to grief on Sunday while en route to Wachow from Hongkong. It was said that there was an accident to the machinery and that about fly persons, chiefly, native passengers, were injured thereby. It was also 'stated that the Wingtong's rudder post was damaged,
A reporter of this paper called during the afternode at the offices of Mexers.

Nothing more than a collection of bamboo bouses form ing a Burmese village, a portion of Irrawaddy, and a desolate surrounding Jungle enlivens the eye la this outlandish spot, while a European civilian to the locality is looked upon as a rare avis. The monotonous ille that the unhappy soldiers lead in a place no devold of attracilon can easily be imagined, says the Rangoon TimeS, and one would think that the object of the military antherflex in such a statich would be to at least make the barrack-life of the men as comfortable as possible. Far from this being the exso the men are irritated with a rex ations order compelling them when in bar racks to be scrupulously drested in either white or khaki clothing. All acquainted with the ways of the army know what an order of this description entails. It practically means a dress parade from morning to night, increased stoppage for clasbing, and probable entry to

By getting such a story as the one referred to well into circulation pretty considerable "scoop" could possibly be made by there Interested in the matter of securing freight and affords proof that for downright duplicity and trickery the Celestial is hard to best.. It is a pily that there is, as usual, very little hope of the irky inventors of this very Chinese yura' being run to earth and expand thoroughly. Such "bastners melboda" are exceedingly dis. creditable and indicate the low stratum of com- mercial morality common to the lower classeR.

A man is sald to have been punished for simply wearing a khaki helmet with a salt of white when walking the few yards that separated his bungalow from the canteed! Can anything be more absurd, or more calculated to make a soldier disaalified with his lat, and, whoa trang- ferred to the Reserve, to speak ill of the army before intending and much-needed recruits, than senseless restrictions of the above nature ?
