Advices from Vienna state that the Empress of Austria has been attacked by the family malady-insanity. She suffers from long spells of melancholia and entertains, delusions, accusing herself of having caused the death of Crown Prince Rudolph. She is bent upon committing suicide, thinking to leave the Emperor free to remarry. Sometimes she dandies a cushion or pillow, thinking it a new-born heir to the throne.
The Emperor is greatly affected. He suffers from insomnia and has no zest for work, taking only a languid interest in State affairs.Itis reported he consulted with Count Kalnoky and Count Van Taale upon the advisability of abdicating in favor of his nephew Frans.

At Sie-fu, a village about 30 from Nanchang, the capital of Kiangsi, a white dragon' was seen on the 12th April. Dragons like water, and it had rained since about the middle of March straight on, ending on that day in a most tremendous hail storm, which smashed in the roof of a good many of the country people's huts about their ears. Suddenly a powerful fishy smell became perceptible, and people coming in from the fields ing about two mou, (about a third of an acre) reported the presence of a huge creature, extend- disporting itself by wriggling and squirming in pool of water. The next day a few people ventured out to see it; it was quite white, with scales two The thirty second Pioneer move up to Goatong next Sunday; the coolle corps, two hundrede in size, with horned head, claws, and a long tail, just as dragons are represented in pictures, strong, is to be employed on D mageri Lunglah On the 18th of March fine weather returned, and road during the next few months,
The Shendus are quiet since the withdrawal the dragon was gone. Foreigners do not talk about dragons, but we Chinese do.

Wohui has been visited with an excessive rainfall and unseasonably cold weather, which are very injurious to agricultural prospects and Chen, the Governor of the province, has issued a paternal proclamation on the subject. He begins by blaming himsell for the bad weather, which is no doubt meant as an intimation that heaven is displeased at his incompetency for bis post (from which, however, he does not propose to retire.). He expresses his own desire to re- for o, which he trusts is shared by the officials and gentry and as for the "poor stupid country people," he reminds them of two texts in the Sacred Edict; "Pay the land-tax in good time," and "avoid law-suits and live at peace to- gether;" also of a passage in the Analects of Con. fucius, "The mean man thinks of gain, the superior man of righteousness."

On Recount of the low water in the river, steamers have great difficulty in swinging at the bund. This week the steamship Smith backed down the reach and swung below the junki.
This year there appear to be more accidents than usual among the junks. The salt junk - which sunk in the fairway below the "Everlast- ing Bend" has been floated and hauled on to the bank. Three rice junks in different parts of the river have run on their anchors, but the cargoes were saved and the junks hauled ashore. Last Friday morning witnessed another accident. The tug Peiho, with lighters in tow, came into collision with a salt junk at about 2 am, abreast of the Astor House Hotel, the junk sinking almost immediately. In mid-stream blocking salt boats were made fast to the sunken croft, the fairway of steainers. About p.m. two large and by the aid of two, Spanish windlasses the wreck was most expeditiously beached on the opposite banks, taking only about three hours,
Wednesday last was a disagreeably hot day. There was a hot wind, the barometer fell very low, and the temperature went up to ga. During the night a fresh N.W. wind blew which cooled the atmosphere.
The work of removing the Railway bridge goes on, very slowly. After seven days labour One of the 52 piles, driven about 3oft. into the river bid, has been-lifted only off.

It is grievous to think of all this money now sent to China not being applied in a reproduc tive way, but just given for rice, clothes, etc. Here they have a custom, which possibly may be general thoroughout China, of always giving a garment to anyone who applies for something to cover his nakedness. But as the people who apply would be likely to sell anything sairable, the garment the Magistrate gives is the cotton out of an old bed covering, held together by old fishing nets. The effect is picturesque, decidedly recalling St. John and his raiment of camel's hair. More than that, it looks very comfortable when too much of it has not dropped off or been torn away.
