A syndicate residing at Cantou his formed from the Viceroy the monopoly for farlan gamlding for the whole of Kwangtung provino o at the large sum of $1,800,000 for ons year only. The aforementioned syndicate has anbfarmed the monopoly for the local prefectures of Chowchown, inslading Swatow,, Kinying chow and Huiskow, toɑn faw Ipeal contry for the sum of $120,000. This is the first time in the annals of the above districts that gambling has been legally permitted, and ita attendant evils are now beginning to be felt.
THE CONSEQUENCES.
Although gambling 'dens bure dxisted here for a considerable time, they could on the least complaint be made to close up; but now com plaints are of no avail whatever. Since legal permission bus beon oxtended to it, gambling has become a public naisance and a great los- to the nativo merchanta Of late when employers of Hongs have been entrusted with money for transmission to various places, Grustend of delivering the money at its destina- tion they have often gone and lost it all at the gambling dens which ure now sentterod all over the phice. With a view of ubating this evil, the antive merchants collectively sent at pofition to the

AN EFFICACIOUS CURE FOR PLAGUE,

Biz-For the sake of humanity I hope you will kindly allow me a small space in your columns to bring to the information of those who have to deal directly with plague cases in
general a treat particular and of the public ment of this fell disense which I have found to
he most efficacious. I vog to state most distinctly that I have no pretention to the slightest idon of medicine, but whilst I was in Hongkong I heard from a man of experiexes of the treatment which I am about to make generally known through
grounds to firmly believe in the good results attained; I could not, however, attempt to bring the facts before the public because of the unger which I would provoke amongst the local practitioners, and because of the consequent persecution which would be started by them, for they will not allow any treatment of afiseases outside the pale of their sapience, and conse- quently the man who, not belonging to their clique, pretends to try his hand at doctoring, must necessarily be an ignorant and a tool who should at once be run down.

GOLD AT LEITH: WAS IT

On the other hand, the English flag is being driven from certain trade routes, and the question.is asked why British owners prefer to part with their ships instead of making them pay by a management as enterprising as that of foreign purchasers who can afford to give smeh large prices for them.
