finished for $50,000,000 or $70,000,000. In lis preliminary report of two years ago the present Commission made an estimate of $118,000,000* though Colonel Hains of the Army added on his own account a statement of probable cost at $135,000,000 Now the Commission raises. the figures to about $200,000,000. But there is The local magistrate has issued a notification ample, explanation of this great incrense: The ordering the nation to avoid going out after Commission now reports in favour of the canal dark, and any one round perambulating the having a depth throughout of thirty-five feet, streets after midnight would be arrested and instead of thirty feel, as in its project of two punished; the gates in the town's re to be parti- years ago. The Commission is prepared to ally closed after 9 pm, and completely closed report that the Panama canal can be completed after midnight. This step was taken as a pre-ata cost of about $140,000,000. It is not willing ventive against a night attack by the thieves to concede, the correctness of the claims made who are reported to be secretly congregating by the French company that this channel can both in Lim-chow City and here. I hear that be finished for $100,000,000.-Chicago Times the French Consul sent a protest last week Herald. to the Prefect of Lim-chow regarding the bad policing of this town requesting him to send a few more soldiers to guard the place, failing which the Consul would order the landing of same marines from the two gunboats in the harbour to patrol the streets. As the result of the protest, one hundred braves were sent here immediately.
The Chinese gunboat On-law, having received informations regarding the whereabout of a certain plate chief surnamed Su-for whose arrest a reward of $6no has been offered some- time ago-left here on the 14th instant and returned the following day with no less than five pirates, including the long sought for Su. The pirates were surprised while feasting in a near village, called Tui Tat. Owing to the importance of the capture and the present'state of apprehension regarding the pirates and thieves everywhere, it was thought prudent to retain the prisoners on board and telegraph The sub-prefect Lim-chaw for instruction. ordered the local magistrate to try the prisoners on'board the gunboat instead of ashore, fearing the prisoners might be rescued by members of the thieves fraternity.

and, if need be, he feeds it to the plethoric wastebasket with a keen feeling of regret. In the words of the poet-notongfellow:
"There is a man the printer loves, and he is wondrous wise; when'er he writes the printer man he dotteth all his i's. And when he's dotted all of them with carefulness and ease, he punctuates each paragraph, and crosses all his t's. Upon one side alone he writes, and never rolls his leaves, and from the man ofink a smile and mark "insert", receives. And when question he doth ask-taught wisely he hath been he doth the goodly penny stamp, for postage back, pul in. He gives, the place from which he writes his address the printer needs-and plainly writes his honoured name, so be that runneth reads. He writes, revises, reads, cor- recte, and re-writes all again, and keeps one copy safe, and sends one to the printer man. And thus by taking little pains, at trifling care and cost, assures himself his manuscript will not be burned. or lost. And so he speaks through all the land, and thousands hear his word, and in the coming day shall know how much he served the Lord.
So let all those who long to write take pattern by this man, with jet black ink and paper white, do just the best they can; and then the printer man shall know; and bless them as his friends, all through life's journey as they go, until that journey ends,"
