(Continued from Thursday), Though these notes are not in any way supposed to be exhaus- tive, or to be anything more than a chat upon clt times in Hong kong, there would be an imprese ion of incccapleteness left if some rolerence were not made to tome of the graver crimes that have been committed in the waters of Hongkong and in the high seas adjacent. And it is at this innoture that the mous Kate Waters tragedy must b recalled. The Kate Wators, a Bri- tish" burgo, left Hongkong for Sydney, Foochów, in October, 1878, under the command of Captain W. Giese, with whom were two European mates, with a crew of ten Asiatics, thras of whom were Chinese, AdverAN

Domestic Servitude. Even now-a-days the sale and purchase of children, kidnapping and domestic servitude come wo the notion of people in dung- kopg, and it is not surprising that, when a question was uskeu about the matter in the House of Commons in 1880, the Secretary of State should reply that he was Batisded that the Guverner would repress domestic servitade, and himself declined to interfere in 'the matter. Attention was called
to the matter in Hongkong by the Chief Justice, and me remarka BO impressed the local Chine-H that they memorialized the Gov- ernor, and through him the Secretary of State, for permission to feraï an association for proieci- | ing women and girle Bud for the restoration of kidnapped obiuron to their relatives. It is an in- tereaung commentary on the atte of affairs then existent that the Government had to be positioned for permission to establish an 10- stitution which had the servIUS of mankind as its greatest and most benevolent object, Tust they obtained the permission goes without saying the Po Leang
