He effaced, as far as he could, his station from the chronicle of nobility. Boy though he was, his existence was as much a tragedy as the play of Zola's which sent a thrill of horror and disgust through Lonklun, and few people can regret that the curtain has now fallen.

HONGKONG, SATURDAY, JULY 29; 1882.

The way in which English newspapers can speak qut honestly, and for the public "good, about the private lives of those in high places, when private life becomes a public disgrace, without the slightest fear of being indicted for libel, forcibly reminds us that the Hongkong Tilegraph is published in Hongkong. In many well known high class London periclicals an amount of plain speaking prevails which must greatly astonish those gentlemen who take their

critic.
