"If we could but reduce the rents," They said, "it would be grand.": "If all the tenants of Hongkong Decamped for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Landlord said, "Twould make a house less dear?" "I doubt it," said the Company, And shed a bitter tear..

"Tenants, come and walk with us?" The Landlord did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each,”
Then four poor Tenant's hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their hair was brushed, their faces wathed, No shoes were on their feel,
This was nos odd, because, you know, They were too poor to eat.
Four other Tenants followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more and more—and more-
All issuing from the tenements,
And every villa door.
The Landlord and the Company
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock.
Conveniently low:
And all the ragged Tenants stood
And waited in a row.
"The time has come," the Landlord'said,
"To talk on many theses.
Of Taxes, Rents and Mortgages, Ejectments, Writs, and Leases, And why the landlord damos his sox! The more his wealth increases. "But wait a bit," the Tenants cried, "Before we have our chat; For most of us are out of breath, And none of us are fat!"
"No burry" I said the Company. They thanked him much for that.
"A rise of rent," the Landlord said,
"Is what we chiefly need; Ejectments and Evictions too Are very good indeed
Now, if you're ready, Tenants dear, We can commence to bised,"
"But not from us," the Tenants cried, Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do!"
"That house is mine," the Landlord said,
"Do you admire the view?"
"It was so kind of you to come !
And you are very nice!"
The Company said nothing, but
Charge them a higher price:
I wish you were not quite so deaf-
I've had to tell you twice.".
“It seems a shame," the Landlord said,”
To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far
And made them trot so quick."
The Company said nothing but
"Our tonements are brick !"
"I weep for you," the Landlord said:
"I deeply sympathise."
With sobs and tears he raised the rent
Of those of every size,
Holding his pocket handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"O Tenants," said the Company, "You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we commence to lower rents?" But answer came there none-- And this was scarcely odd, because They'd ruined every one!

(Captain Superintendent of Police), Dr. Bell, (Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer), Liett Col. Hughes, RA.и.C., Mr. J. McKie, Dr. Hari- gany Mr. E. Osbome, Dr. F.

The President moved the adoption of the last meating's minutes and then said-Gentle men, this being our first meeting since the news received of the death of the Queen, it is but fitting that I should make some reference. to the event, which has: plunged the whole *Empire in grief and mourning.

the right to declare any section of the country in a disturbed state, after which they will not be responsible for any damage done by lawless parties. Until such a declaration is made, travellers have a right to protection.
INCREASE OF FIRACY,
Piracy has increased to such an alarming extent that the Consuls have demanded of the Viceroy, that better police protection be given on the water-ways. The Viceroy replies that he is doing all he can, but this does not satisfy the Consuls, Soldiers are being disbanded in. large numbers and go to swell the ranks of the robbers. It is not unusual to hear of a dozen robberies on the North River in one day.
SOLDIERS IN TROUBLE.
scarcely credible, however, and in spite of the fact that it appears well authenticated, we fenl sure it must be an exaggeration. It is more probable that they have been arrested and held] for trial, and that no death penalty would be passed on civilians by the authorities of a country not their own.

NEWCHWANG,
A PROTEST.
January 10th..
At a meeting of the Consular body, held on j the roth instant, it was stated that during the Russian occupation, so private houses and 74 out of 348 substantial firms have been attacked by robbers, several persons killed, and more wounded; that the merchants fear that as soon as the ice sets firmly, brigands will cross the river to attack them; that several firms have closed their doors, and a gèneral cessation of business has been discussed; that all the other towns under Russian control are comparatively peaceful and secure; that the Russian-speaking Chinese interpreters are thoroughly corrupt and in some instances in league with the rob- bers; and that the Chinese police are insuffi- cient and untrustworthy.
"It was decided, therefore, to address a re- presentation of these facts with various remedial recommendations to the civil administrator, Mr. Ostroverkhow, and to Vice-Admiral Alexieff.
THE RESULT.
It appears that two Russian officers have been sent here (from Port Arthur to investigate the discrepancy between official and unofficial statements as to the tranquility or otherwise of the town that an interpreter has been arrested; and that the entire police staff, Chinese and Russian, are to be dismissed.
PEACE.
*The local Guild is said to have received a notice from Moukden issued in the name of the Tartar General and four other officials, to the effect that the preliminaries of peace have bean signed and that Chinese rule will be soon restored, whereupon the brigands will be punished, and asking the co-operation of the people in maintaining law and order.
PILOTAGE FIES,
.The Consuls and Customs have decided that the doubling of pilotage charges expired with the closing of the port.
REFORMS.
A telegram has bees received from Port Arthur cancelling the past of Co-Commissioner of Customs, and one or two other appointments have been cancelled and salaries reduced. It ig uncertain whether this is due to personal reasons, or to a desire to reduce expenses, or is preliminary to Russia's withdrawal in the Spring.-N. C. D. News Cor.
