It is recorded in the parish register, that all the seven children were brought together to the font of the church and there baptised. The Americans no doubt "smart," as they claim to be, but this record they have not yet beaten, with a their palents."

SAYS the Japan Gazette of the 7th inst.:--At an early hour this morning the dead body of Mr. H. Waller, the marshall of the German consulate, was found in the Creek near the Nichi-no-lasht. Upon examination no traces of violence were found on the body, the only mark being a small bruise near the left eye. The deceased was icen alive at midnight by several people. It is presumed that he must have fallen over the boundary chains, probably striking some obstacle in the water which would account for the bruise on his face, Mr. Walter had been engageri si the German Consulate for over four

years.

Thus the Chinese Times: Signs have been given that the constant résidence in the capital of the British Minister, at least, is unwelcome to British subjects, and it is hoped that next year he may see his way to personal conference, An annual visit to the treaty ports should be rather a relaxation than a burden to H.M: Minister, and as the Foreign Office invariably sends to China a first Secretary of more than Crosvenor, O'Conor, Goschen, Howard, there average ability-witness Messrs.

In respect of those diseases which may owe their origin to insanitary courlitions, we see that the European table of deaths keeps alatt the, average, while the Chinese table shows a very marked reduction, in fact the latter has never been so low for the previous ten years. The improved methods of surface scavenging and the thorough cleansing of tenements at certain eriods," insisted on by the Sanitary Board for the last three years, appear to be doing a great amount of practical. good. In 1886 there was a decrease in this table of nearly 400 deaths as compared with 1885; this year there is an- other de rease of 400 deaths as compared with 1886. With these facts before us the Sanitary Board must have every reason to be satisfied with the result of their work in the practical sanitation of the town, although thoir best efforts will be, I fear, but of little comparative avail until their hands are strengthened by the new Public Health Ordinance, which it is very deeply and brought into operation last year. to be regretted should not have been confirmed

During 1887-8 fever has prevailed extensively in the extreme Western District along the upper levels of Victoria, and a Medical Commission has been appointed by His Excellency the Governor jo enquire into the nature and cause of the disease and to suggest preventive measures. This Commission, has not yet submitted its Report.

In November, a very serious outbreak of small-pox occurred; there were 15 deaths among Europeans and 233 deaths among Chinese from

this cause up to the end of the year. There was for a time a very large demand for vaccine, and the latter was telegraphed for to Japan, Australla, and England. The call-lymph procured from Japan was found admirably put up for travelling, it arrived in excellent condition, and was effective and satisfactory.

Although the political situation is as strong as even so far as the conservation of peace is con- cerned, matters in Germany are not as they ou hit to be, and there are signs at hand indicat" ing that the Emperor Friedrich was subjected to the influence of a party which, in the pursuance. of its own private interests, ya wa regards the welfare of the Empire, One of their latest moves came to light during the past week, when. the Vice-President of the Ministry of State, Ilerr von Putkammer, was suddenly dismissed from his office without Prince Bismarck being asked his advice, or being advised about the proceeding. Indeed, asitiswell known that Prince Bismarck, as President of the Ministry, and not Von Polkant mer, haids the reins of Governinent when he is at Berlin, this abrupt proceeding on the part of the late Emperor was regarded as a "demonstration against the Chancellor, and, consequently, will popular disfavour. As a likely successor to Herr. voa Putkammer, the Governor of the province of Pasen, Count von Zedlitz Tructabler has been named.
