Much is now said about lekin and its stoppage, but what would happen to the trade of the coon- try if there were no tekin stations? Why, it would ran riot, and railways would deurish; people could wear decent eothes; linos would be opened up; the foreign indemnity would be paid; end China would become a rich country! All this and much more calatuitous things would happen if those Saviours of their Country, the lekin collectors, did not exist. Long Kve the lekin collectors," say the skin collectors. Case in point. Koapangiza is the station on the Chinese Imperial Railway nearest Kuanguiog, which district is, or should be. supplied therefrom. It was so supplied during the Bussian occupation. There was an attempt made then, and lekin was collected for a fow days or even British goods, but our vigilant Cousul, Mr. Husie, had a word to say and the lekin passed away and "left not a rack behind." Now there are three lekin stations flourishing in that one spot, and another gentleman without improve the shining hour is endeavouring to serve bis country by inventing some good reason for another (and yet Chinese are supposed to be deficient in patriotism). The resalt is that the country is safe from gou's being poured in by that line, and the railway is saved from too large dividends, and when one railway is so, others needed cannot be made.

A telegram to the Tempe states that when the police authorities entered the grounds of Count Robosinski both duels were over and the wounds of the Italians were being dressed. The police commissary, thinking the duel had only beea interrupted and might be rested, informed the Italians that bis orders were to take them to police headquarters in order to notify to them a decres of expulsion. Signori Pessina and Vega, whose wounds were not dangerous, made no opposition, asking only that shake hands with their opponents, and the seconds declared that none of the Italians had the slightest animosity against the French professors.
