During the embroglio between Russia and China in reference to the Kuldja question, a well known military general named Liu Kanchan was deputed to take charge of the Chinese troops at Shanhai Kwan. An Imperial decree has now been issued ordering him to return, with his

Archibald Forbes is a designation which carries its own suggestions of intrepidity, dash, and cap- acity. Mr. Forbes, clerk to a corn chander, requires the courtesy of the prefix. It is all the distinction he can ever have. Archibald Forbes," the War Correspondent, can afford to concede it to him. Archibald Forbes is the son of a Presby terian minister, the Rev. Louis Borbes, D.D., and, while his father lived, went through the

The Chinese are taking practical steps in the matter of foreign education. According to a paragraph in the Shen-pay, a school for the education of Chinese boys in foreign matters has been established in the Pun-yeu district of Canton, and it has already fity scholars. A Mr. Tangis the superintendent, and a Mr. Lino is the scere tary in connection will the undertaking. · So far the school has been, a success, and to meet the demands of would-be scholars it is proposed at the hext Chinese New Year tosolicit subscriptions to enlarge the school premises. The teachers are Chinese well versed in English, and the school in every way bids fair to have a beneficial effect on the rising generation of Chinese.;
One of our correspondents in the north writes to the effect that serious inulations have taken place in Chibli, owing to floods and breaches in the embankments of the waterways, The dis- tricts of Hokien-fu and Shien-yuen are said to be submerged, while at Whang-kic-kow and War an the water is level with the house-tops. Great damage has been done to the crops, which are represented as having been completely destroyed, and many lives have been sacrificed. The office fals are at their wits ends to appease the Tamentations of the sufferers, and to devise menne wherewith to repair the damage to the water courses. The flood in the Yangtsze Valley, a few weeks ago, caused wholesale, destruction to life and property, and it is worthy of note that large sums have been subscribed in
in Shanghai towards the relief of the sufferers. Most of the Guilds
sent contributions, and-it has been a condition on which some of the recently-formed native com. panies have been organised that on each share allotted the sum of one tael had to be paid to wards the relief of the sufferers.-Courier.

zoth September, 1882. The following are the principal gallops which tock place this morning-
Wild Eddy and First Cornet, for one mile in amin. 133secs the former having the best of it at the finish, but no weight up.
The skewbald and White Dash next appeared, and went for a mile and a half, the griffin finishing considerably the fresher of the two in 3min, z8jsec-very fast time, taking into account the alow state of the course. Mr. Smarty's dun griffin and Black Thorn galloped three quarters of a mile in min. 36sec. The latter had not much left in him at the winning post. Mr. Smarty's grillin is one of the best on the course. Sweet-Brist and White Thorn galloped together, but the distance, escaped me. The way White Thom finished has depreciated him a good deal in the opinion of the "railing gentlemen."
. Fearon's 140 tact chestnut galloped three quarters of a mile in tinin. 38 sec., finishing strong; not a bad performance.
Mr. Ring's one mile and three-quarters, at the break of day, with Repeater and company, is 4 min. 15 sec., shows that this stable is well in for the St. Leger...
Me Bill had Innumerable gallops; but really at the present time there is no use in "watching" this stable. We can safely leave Mr. Bill to shroff his own ponics, and we shall be favoured with his selections when the Race Books appear, Prejudice is going in his own form, and no higher praise can be given to him.-Courier.
