The Shia Pau says there has been a frightful, mortality among the soldiers employeras navvies" in making the railway in North Formosa. Always unhealthy, the jungle has been exceptionally so this year owing to the heavy d continuous rains and the violent alterations of heat and cold.

A terrible murder has occurred at Peking. A husband in a fit of age at sonte unbecoming conducts on the part of his wife-the poor woman being tray-killed her, cut her body into minute rijeces and scattered them in different parts of Peking. The wretch has been arrested and awaits trial. -

According to the Buddhist doctrine of Fin kow, the theory that our condition in this life depends upon our conduct in a previous state of existence, we hear that in Hades, or the unseen worldy there are lictors with cows hands and horses Indes, who have ho doubt become more and no Brutaliu'successive lives here, until they have mingled in this fashion. In the Tai Pak Kai (Great North h Street) Canton, a new development has come to light, in the person of man in the native police force whose head has suddenly sprouted into two hores, just like those of a calf. At the time of the Three Kingdoms, (about 250 A.D, calamity was foretold to one who treamed he had a pair of horns, as the character horn "is made up of "sword" and "use." As the worse fuck apparently for our poor friend who is done more tiran merely to dream he had then on his head.

•CHUNGKING. རང་ང་དང་ལྡ་ནང་ཇི་ཡུམ་མང་ཛནད་ཀྱི་མདར་ལྡན་བསྐལ་བ་དོན

Trade at Chungking at this season of the year is rather dull, the wax and silk of last year being About Inished. The new silk is not in yet, though samples are daily expected. The weather has been favourable and the spring crops has generally been good, and there is a fair prospect for a large falt business,

Though thobuminess of Chungking has greatly ingreased late years, the profits realised are very small, owing to the strong competition carried on chiefly by small tradem operating almost entirely, with borrowed money, and to keep up their credit with the banks they have to sell to meet their engagements, regardless of the state of the markets, and not unfrequently at a loss, though there is some consolation in knowing that quite a number of those reckless traders have recently come to grief. At the present time, there is not such a close competition, and better prices are looked fer. The late nuch discussed question a of steamer coming to Chungking has ceased to be talked of and it is generally known that she is not coming, at all events for the present; much to the satisfaction of the local officials, who certainly do not want any steamers or any more foreigners in the interior if they can keep them away.

The examinations are all over and they passed off remarkably quiet. There was no talk about the late missionary troubles; on this occasion every one seemed to have something else to do and no time to discuss missionary affairs. Just previous to the arrival of the literary chancellor the district magistrate, made a raid upon the hoodlums of the city and bagged seven. Among them was the man who issued the faise proclamation in the Taotai's name, and under his seat of office. Upon searching his house the orginal copies of the numerous placards, issued during the late troubles, were found.

Two of the local gentry who sympathised with the authors, of the sald documents, possess official rank, petitioned the literary chancellor on his arrival: pointing out that the offence. committed was only against Christians, and asked for the offenders to be released; but the chancellor did not see the matter in that light: he waxed wrath and called for his stamp and red pen, and there and, then ́degraded, the two gentlemen, and handed them over to the magis trate to be dealt with by him. When they are clear of the affair they will doubtless be wiser and sadder many they will also be pretty sure to have to rearrange their financial matters, a there will, beyond any doubt, be a considerable hole in them,
