The Palice have had orders to act in the sup- pression of public gambling, with as great energy is the law will permit and, if the existing law in not sufficient, the Government will propose a new ordinance on this subject. Meanwhile, I am directed to remind you that Chinese owners of houses should remember that they can help eatly the efforts of the Goverment by not mitting their houses to be used for gambling or other immoral purposes. MARRIED WOMEN DESERTING THEIR HUSBANDS, The Government of Hongkong has much dif- ficulty in dealing with questions of this nature, in consequence of the importance attached by English people to the rights and privileges of personal liberty; and, although this personal liberty may, in some cases, such as the
present, seem to entail undesirable consequences, yet His Excellency is sure that you who have so many proofs of the advantage which it confers on all residents in this colony, will not desire that it should be unnecessarily curtailed. It should be further remarked that the Colonial Government of Hongkong has no power to enact laws repug- nant to the laws of England; and that all persons who choose to take up their residence on English territory, while they are entitled to the protection of the English laws, are bound to obey those His Excellency is of opinion that under all the circumstances of the case, persuasion is the only weapon that can legally be employed. The Re- gistrar General has instructions to give every assistance in his power towards laducing run- away Chinese wives to return to their husbands in China. Recently, he has had two such cases to deal with; and the circumstances connected with them will show the difficulties with which they are surrounded

In one case, a young woman left her husband in Yau-Ma-ti. On complaint being made by the husband, the woman, her mother, and the "go- between were sent for to the Registrar Gen eral's Office. Every effort was made to induce the woman to return" but she remained ob stinate. The services of the Pa Leung Hob were then asked for, and promptly accorded. After some time, the woman seemed to consent to return, but, on coming before the Registrar General again, she solemnly asserted that, if ordered to go back to her husband; she would commit suicide. There was no help for it but to allow her to go away with her mother,
In the other case, the woman had by false representations obtained admission to a regis tered brothel. When confronted with her mother, her husband, and her uncle, she atoutly denied having ever seen them. In this case, also, the Po Leung Hok were good enough to render assistance but all efforts were fruitless. Finally, the woman's name was removed from the register, and she was informed that on no morning for Canton, but stated that nothing would induce ber to return to her relatives She too, threatened to commit suicide if ordered to go back to her husband

DYSENTERY.
Gastric fever is not the only effect of using water of an unwholesome character. in certain systems instead of the evil elements lodging and giving rise to fever symptoms they destroy the tension of the intestinal vessels, and cause the flow of their contents in a way that by and by: issues in the flow of blood itself from the bowels. This flow is, however, caused by other means than such as are found in, bąd water. Long cX- posure to wet and cold, as well as protracted fatigue and defective food, destroy the lives of those who suffer from them by destroying, in a similar way, the tension of the bowels. Soldiers and others are carried off by this terrible disease on their marches sometimes in great numbers. 50 are many who are not exposed to the hard-

When the unusual flow takes place, and the bowels move in such a way as threatens disease of this nature, to throw up, about a breakfast cupful of perfectly cold water will, ig the great majority of cases, produce a perfect cure. The entire disturbance is set to perfect rest by this one application alone. If the same sort of motions occur the same remedy can be applied, and even where a very violent purging has came on, we have never seen more than a third cold enema required. Usually one only is.. called for sometimes two-very rarely three. A vast amount of suffering may be most easily averted in this way. The cold introduced in- ternally by this means instantly braces the re- laxed bowels, and by sympathy braces all the vessels concerned, and the patient feels just righted all over without any other treatment whatever.

When Stanley explored the Congo for more than twelve hundred miles, making his way where no white man had been, or none who had ever made any intelligible record, it was evident, observes the San Francisco Bulletin, that he had practically found a new pathway for commerce. The Upper Conge leads into the heart of equator fal Africa. The whole extent of that mighty river could not be navigated by a single craft on account of cataracts. Large ships had for a hundred years or more sailed into the mouth of the Congo and sailed up that river for more than a bun-

So far, we have before us the first indications that the vessels have been relaxed, and require instant bracing. But even at the very early up- pearance of this relaxation, the case may as- sume a very serious character, and those who are desirous-to-aid-the-sufferer-may-besitate. Blood may appear almost at the very outset. If so, we would still resort to the same remedy.TO As yet, the only thing indicated is sudden re- laxation of the bowels, and the thing wanted is bracing up by cold clean water. But the usual course will be the passing of mere relaxation in the tension of the vessels into more or less of injury to the coats of these vessels, causing pain and great distress.

Stanley started from the eastern side of the African Continent, at a point nearly opposite Zanzibar, and in less than twelve months came out on the western side near the mouth of Congo. His discov eries were of great interest to geographers. His map of the Upper Congo changed the course of that river for a long distance more than two de- grees. He found a zich and populous country there are great resources. Where a dense population can be sustained
The next voyage which Stanley made to the Congo was entirely in the interest of commerce. Following the affluents of the mighty river, the merchant could reach more than thirty million people. These were eager for trade. They had gold, ivary, Indigo, coffee and other products to exchange for manufactured goods. The Pall Mall Gascite makes the following statement of the later development of trade on the Congo:
