givings, my manifold mental limitations. One Dandreary, who gave his name to a special brud of whiskers, spoke of the existence of things which no fellow can understand." Things of that kind-the un-understandable, not the whiskers are constantly cropping up in Hongkong to confound my conceit in my own "vvy." I cannot, for instance, understand why, in a city where half the houses are officially stated to in tumbling down, house rent should be so con foundedly dear. I know a moderately salaried person who is living in a house that isn't big enough to swing a cat in. and the monthly ant he pays is $130. If he should ever want to go in for cat-swinging, his employer will have to raise his wages, or the tenant will have to take in lodgers. Either way it is a lile. The employer has enough to do to raise money to pay prosent wages, without raising thera (you know what I mean), and in the other case, lodgers are proverbially averse to cats swing or unsung,

Another thing that I cannot understand-aud podness knows I've tried hurd--is that reply of the Coloufal Secretary to the Hon. R. Showan at Thursday's Legislative Council meeting, anent treo cutting. Ever since I was taught my catechism and its strict injunction to cap the parson' and all set in authority over me. I have maintained a profound respect for those who know more than I do. There have been so many deaths in the last thirty or forty years that I have still lots of rospect in reserve, and Lean lay my right hand over the third-from-the-top hattou of my alpaca waistcoat and declare. truthfully, and without the least suspicion of Hippany, that I have been exhaling double doses of respect for our Colonial Secretary over since I saw what an excellent Governor he made.

The wonderfully tencelous vitality shown by the Chiness has been commented upon by more than one European observer of their national characteristics. A striking justance was brought to my notice the other day. A fisherman was brought down from Baikong, in the New Territory, with both legs and part of his head blown off as the result of a premstare blast when tishing with dynamite.
