THE SEA-LIGHT TEMPLE AT TIENTSIN.
The Tientsin correspondent of the N. C. Daily News writes under date the 19th October :-
The "Sea-light" Temple or Mirage Temple," as some have poetically translated the characters, has attracted the attention of most sight-seers visiting Tientsin since the port was opened. It is commonly spoken of among foreigners as "The Treaty Temple, because in one of its quiet rooms the Treaty of '58" was signed This temple is said to have received this name because when built some centuries ago it stood but a short distance from the sea. It is thought by others that the sea had long before its creclion receded far beyond the site of the south, that the mirage frequently seen in the direction of the Gulf, suggested the name, It is situated in the open plain, about two directly south of the city, and perhaps a mile and a half from the foreign settlement by the winding roads. It can claim no special importance as temple over many others, hor is there anything In its history or possessions to attract attention, save the one fact above referred to..
About twenty years ago it was selected as a suitable locality for the establishment of foreign machine shops. Suitable buildings were erected, a smelting furnace was built; and a tail smoke- stack towered above the highest of the temple roofs, and a "whistle" daily sounded far and near labour's call and release. One would have supposed that of all places this was the last that
could, by any possibility, have been selected for works of this kind. But apparently the Fung It is believed that the Senate will advise the shut has neither done any harm, nor been harmed United states to take over the entire debt of in the least, degree by this innovation.

Formerly cannon were cast, and several small steamers have been turned out at these works. At the present time the principal energies of the establishment are exercised in the repair of small arms, and in the manu. facture of cartridges. Gun carriages, are also made, but I was told on a recent visit to the place, that no cannan or other important casting had been done for some time. Electric and telephonic instruments are manufactured for official tise, but not for sale. We were shown some of these instruments, which appeared to be well made. In general the machinery seemed to be in good condition, and doing good work to external observation.
A visit was also paid to the historic room in which the Treaty was signed. In it we found a company of bonse: lounging about on the chairs and divans. We were told that there are about thirty connected with the temple now, whereas, in the good old times when Fung thu was undisturbed by these high chimneys and the whirr of shafts and wheels, there wore not more than six or eight. They appear to have

minutely described; the name of the steamer and her gallant commander, however, being studiously kept out of the publication. The im- pression here is, that the whole thing was written. pro doma. Much amusement was caused here, by the con sander's statement (a more naif one' cannot be conceived) that he thought it was high water when he went for the bar, while in fet the ebb tide had been sweeping out for three solid hours. His ludicrous statement that there is a tidal rise and fall of 36 feet in Chemulpo harbour, shows his, perhaps pardonable, but certainly deplorable, ignorance of the port. But, considering that the channel across the bar runs within about a cable of Observation Island, with high-water mark as plain as a pikestaff, any tyro in navigation could have told if the tide had gone down 15 or 18 feet; and I am confident day Shanghai ship master, committing an error of judgment of such a grave nature, would be promptly rewarded with a "pair of shoes" by his employers, and his name would be Walker.
Strange rumours are afloat about the Signals | I hear it stated from different quarters, that she was never injured on the bar, but has "smelt the ground" repentedly elsewhere. The Signal is now in Nagasaki repairing-the third time, within twelve months, I believe-having under gone about $30,000 worth of repairs, on dit, which efforts of the master of the.
