The Leeyush, a Chinese lainch which was chartered at $320 per month to take her place, proved anything but equal to the Customs' needs.

VIA by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To-day they are produced with infini tely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed.
No form of medication can be better than a pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as
them, there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his howels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will net its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous matter,

Viceroy's for some months, and is understood to advise His Excellency in all matters of foreign policy, more especially with regard to the kidnapping and rendition cases with your colony, It is noteworthy that virtually the first railway in China, that between Taku, and Tientsin, was opened to public traffic on the anniversary of the capture of the Taku forts. While on this subject it would appear as if Lord Wolseley during his recent visit to Ireland had been residing in the neighborhood of Blarney. To gather from the paper he has just contributed to a loading Magazine, he would seem to indicate that the attack on the Taku forts on the 21st August, 1860, was a formidable affair for the Allies, whereas it was nothing of the kind. Not a single casualty of any kind occurred in the the forts principally pointed seaward. Hardly a single gun in the southern forts could assist in the defense of the northern forts; neither did. the Britisk and French attacking forces lose one hundred men all told. The weapons of the Chinese garrisons were mostly antiquated gingals supplied with ammunition of very inferior quality. This latter fact, I venture to think, is substantiated by the very incident Lord Wolseley so glibly relates, in which he describes Sir Gerald "Graham on horseback within a hundred yards of the north fort, receiving a Chinese bullet in the leg and without discomfort or any apparent outward indication of the wound being visible; or else we may assume his lordship would not have so familiarly slapped bis friend's leg.

The Town Band was also in attendance, which, together with the large con- course of foreigners (including several ladies). to say nothing of the vast array of high officials accompanying made up a scene at once memor able and gay.
His Excellency came down the river in his steam yacht, and was received with a salute by the Chinese gunboat, which was also decorated with flags. On entering the school grounds, the military cadets fired three volleys in excellent style, presenting arms afterwards with great precision. Li was conveyed in his chair across the parade to the reviewing Pavilion, in front of which were drawn up the "Medical
