She went and related the story of the apparition to Mrs. Liu; who,, however, did not take at all kindly to the idea of supplying brides from her daughters for Awer, flew into an objurgatory passion, and drove her visitor out of the house. The daughter, whe wax-si-eping in another room, here suddenly. awoke, and observed, "Chu's messenger has been here. Tell her to fix an early lucky day for our wedding."

Peking, 7th August, 1889. The latest news about floods, independent of thase of Canton and Shantung, are those at Shanse and Shingking. I hear also that the Newchwang tiver has burst its banks, the same as last year.
The Viceroy of the 'Two Kiang Provinces (i.r. Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Anbui), Tseng Kuo-chuan, has endorsed the following rescript in response to the petition of the Soochow gentry Sung Tsun and others—The Petition represents that is consequence of the destitution to which the people of Shantung Province have been reduced by recent calamities, certain unworthy characters are taking advantage of their poverty to buy from them their wives, daughters, and children. with the view of bringing them up to disgracefal lives for the profit of the buyers. This is most sad and most hateful. The gentlemen who are the signatories of the petition have contributed Tis. 1,000 which they forwarded to Total Sheng. Intendant of the Circuit comprising, Teng-chow, Lai.cbow, and Ting chow Prefectures Shantung, to be distri buted by the Taotai among the members of the Relief Committee in all parts of the affected districts, to be used by them in buying back the victims of this wickedness; and Mr. Sung and other gentlemen of influence have been invited to proceed to Shantung and open a home for the rearing and education of the young persons so redeemed; whence their bond fide relations will have the opportunity of taking them back to their homes in beiter times on signing the necessary guarantees. This shows more than proceeded on the 9th instant to the Summer ordinary good feling on the part of the promoter Palace to inspect the railway there.
