In the House of Commons this afternoon, Goschen, acting as Government, leader, read amid cheers the telegram received by the West African Telegraph Company from St. Thomas, reporting the arrival of Stanley and Emin on the Aruwimi. Goschen stated that the Govern We find the following in the Shin-bao-ment has not received direct news confirming Three years ago a charitable institution called the report. the Yub-ying Tang, or Infant Refuge as established at Foochow, with the object of rearing female infants of poor people, who, without this help, would have recourse to the crime of female infanticide which has attained to terrible dimensions in and about that great city. Already this charity has saved the lives of hundreds of innocents who would without its help have infallibly been drowned.

There are, says the proverb, three classes of people who take the palm for cruelty; stage actors, towards their apprentices; brothel keepers, to girls sold to them to be brought up to a life of disgrace; and gaolers, towards their prisoners; but these step-mothers are, we think, as bad as any of the three.
