The Shanghai Courier learns that, owing to the creat amount of smuggling going on at certain River stations, which are not treaty ports, the | Customs authorities are considering the advi. sability of establishing stations, in charge of foreigners, at several non-treaty ports, such as Nganking, Nanking, etc.

TUR statement in this morning's Daily Press that "the Punjom Gold Mining Company are likely shortly to lose the services of Mr. Becher. the present manager," is not correct. Mr. Becher merely carries out the arrangements he made prior to joining the Company, and will remain in the sèrvice as consulting engineer. THE American Musical Comedy and Opera Company have underlined "The Mikado" for to-morrow night, and announce that it will be a

perfect reproduction of the opera as produced in London. This modest promise ought to "fetch" the play-going public, and no doubt it will. Judging from their previous performances we should think that the Company will appear to great advantage in "The Mikado,”

THE proposal to establish a 'Litery Society, in this colony is another proof that we are rising, from the status of matter-of-fact merchants and shippers to a more elevated atmosphere of Intellectual refinement. Culture generally follows material prosperity, and it is an auspicinus sign when it does so. Wers men to turn their wealth into mere means of gratifying the senses mankind would soon return to that stage of animality from which it is said to have sprung. The tendency towarda mental and moral culture is an all-redeeming quality in man's progres through life. And it is gratifying to see that given a sufficient competency and means of independent subsistence, men as well as cities take to mental refinement as instinctively as fiihen take to the watery element. Our ultimate end being the development of intelligence and the enjoyment of superior vision, it signde to reason that no sooner is an opportunity given us, than we rush at those recreations of the mind which we thirst after and must eventually attain. The future of the human race on earth is as - sure, to, be; ■' brilliant and bappy one, as long as there reigns among us the indomitable desire after intellectual pleasures. The establishment of literary societies is one of the many proofs of our general and innate
