After sensation of this calibre, a sienta is evidently the best finale. Let us give orders to a chamber "boy" to get us a chair with four coalies for 4.30, and prepare ourselves for further sensations by a nap and a subsequent lounge in the open-air galleries, with Araerican papers, American drinks, and the genial weed. Our plan of ascent is this: We will go right up the face of the hill, passing by the Governor's summer residence to the observatory. Thence we will descend on the other side, down past the water reservoirs to the settlement on the sea called Aberdeen, and so round the base of the hills into the upper terrace of Victoria, and down to the hotel again.

he parts of the chorus were frequently filed by volunteer performers of birth and station. But when the atmosphere of religious solem nity was clested away and dramatic performers began to form a profession apart, they were soon regarded with disrespect. The Roman Prams never had any high standing from the first. The actors were nothing more than buffoons, who tramped about in course and grotesque farces, and at no time during the republic were they regarded as possessors of a single honorable quality. Under the amateur violinist, Nero, they were subjected to that Emperor's erratis patronage, but they could not stand this unaccustomed sunshine, and fought so much among themselves for the crumbs of favor, that they were incontinently kicked out of Italy. Then in another Emperor's spasmodic pleasure THEATRE they were brought back and fêted once more; then banished by Domitian, again coddled by Nerva, and finally expatriated for good and all by Trojan.

The chair is a fairly comfortable mode of locomotion. It is of light bamboo construction, bung on two long bamboos, and gocs easily to the quick rhythmic pace of the coolles. Leconte de Lille, so far our sole poet of the tropics, in one of the most charming of his Polmes Barbares "Lo Manchy," has exquisitely described the poetry of this motion, with all its delicious reverie and case. Going up or coming down a gradient, however, to which the Blue Mountain Zigzag or the Toowoomba scent is comparatively plain sailing, deliciousfuerie and ease are somewhat at a discount. Moreover, of course, the chair in not a palanquin-one sits in it, one does not recline. This ascent, nevertheless, is comfortable enough, and in every other respect delightful. You go up the Zigzag through a continuous little forest, with glimpses of the harbour, the coast, the town, the island. A settled effort is being made now in every way to improve the Hongkang climate. All the hills round the town are planted with pine trees, and these, in some
