them were thrown into the river, all of whom, with but few exceptions, were drowned. One of the stone rails of the bridge also gave way, caused by the pressure of the crowd, and fifteen men were precipitated into the river and drowned. Some sixteen corpses were fished out and a lot more are said to be fast stuck in the stone foundations of the Bridge. The numerous Mandarins who witnessed the review were not only delighted, but quite proud of the maneuvres of their "braves" especially the attack upon the enemy's junks, when some twenty of the "braves," armed with life buays, jumped into the river and awam to the enemy's junks and pretended to set fire to them. This part of the programme afforded much amuse- ment to the vast crowds of spectators,-Ecko.

REMENFI'S TİTAN.

There is an old adage to the effect that every thing comes to him who waits. Remenyi, the emineat Hungarian violinist, who visited Hong kong four years ago, has still many friends In the colony who will be glad to hear that he has succeeded in the quest which was the special aim of his life. The "old gentleman," as he was familiarly addressed, was a great curio collector and devoted all his spare fime, and more money than he could con- veniently spare, in collecting works of art of every description, intended as a gut for the muscum of his native city, Buda-Pesth. But Remenyi's one all-absorbing ambition was to come across a rare Stradivarias violin, and he had fruitlessly spent years in the search. When performing in Macao he came across a fiddle of exceptional excellence-he refused to give us further details the property of a priest, and left no stone unturned to become its pos- sessor; but all in vain, the reverend padro refused the most tempting offers, and Remenyi, who had made a special trip to the Holy City on purpose to secure this treasure, had to return to Hongkong a disappointed mat. And he never fairly got over his disappointment so long be stayed in the colony; the Macao viollo was his bite notre.

She was, therefore, a very fit subject for a thorough test of the three charges most commonly brought against our great guns and their mountings, which are that their hydraulic loading machinery

not to be trusted; (5) that these monster guns cannot be fired rapidly; (c) that they are liable to knock the ships to pieces. The Admiralty, we are told with adorable candour, have hitherto been reluctant to subject a ship to the inexorable conditions of a naval engage ment for merely experimental purposes." This is not aj ke; it does not mean that the Admiralty has been unwilling to fire into ships, but only that it has been unwilling to fire from them in certain ways. At last it has struck the Admiralty that really till you know whether your ship will endure the inexorable conditions aforesaid you do not know whether she is of any use. So, greatly daring, the Director of Naval Construc tion took his courage in both hands, and ordered a thorough trial. Let us see what it came to,

Having been a great sufferer from pulmonary attacks and gradually wasting away for the past two years, it affords me great pleasure to testify that the above medicine has given me great relief, and cheerfully recommend it to all suffering in a similar way to myself.

It was highly sailafactory for the following reasons: (a) The hydraulic machinery did not break down. A box of new divisions and new valves having been introduced, the loading machinery did not collapse. Four guns fired among them twenty-one shots, and no part of their own machinery carried away. This is a subject of great satisfaction and some surprite to the Admiralty. () Then four rounds were fired in nine minutes-under very easy circumstances, by picked mea-which is held to dispose for FROM good of the assertion that 67-ton gens could not be rapidly handled under trying conditions in action, We wonder whether the Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Thomas Symonds, will think so. But the most convincing demonstration of all was giren under the head we call (c), in answer to the question whether these monster guns do not hurt the ships which carry them. They do not says the Report, and this shows it. We fired nine shots from the fore turret and twelve from the after. It is the fore turret which would be most used in action, so we fired the greater number of times from the after one, in our thorough experimental way. Of the nine dis charges from the three-quarter, and full charge three were right ahead, with half, respectively. The first two, fired at a degree and a half elevation, did some trifling damage, whiffing away chocks from under the cathead, and detaching a whelp on the barrel of the capstan "things of no account. The third was fired heroically [we quote the Report] with a fall charge, at an elevation of three degrees, right ahead, when the immense rush of gas caused a depression of about two inches in the deck near the water-ridge in front of the turret, bending a beam below and fracturing one of the stanchions on the forward mess-deck. This was the only important injury suffered by the app. and as none of the steel work permanently suffered, the result was an agreeable surprise for all concerned." The italics are oure, and we put them in to use the good old-fashioned style of There were no strings on either of the violins, calling attention to something worth nothing.
