THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1890.

Chinese who, being deeply in debt, was thrown into prison from which he found deliverance hopeless. He accordingly sent word to his re- latives to have his wife sold, which was done, and with the proceeds the man was able to buy. his escape. The frequency of such sales may be said to bear a direct ratio to the price of grain.

There is another method of selling wives, with which the Chinese are acquainted, which can be adopted whenever the pressure of life at home becomes too hard to be borne. The hus- band and wife then start off on 'n begging expe dition toward a region in which the crops have been good. In's bad year, there are thousands of such persons roaming about the country, picking up a scanty subsistence wherever they can. The man who wishes to sell his wife represents her as his sister, and declares that they are forced by hunger to part company. He reluctantly makes up his mind to sell her to some one who is in need of a wife, and who can get one more cheaply by this process than by any other. To this arrangement the woman tearfully assents, the money is paid to her "brother," and he departs, to be seen no more. After a few days or a few weeks in her new home, the newly married sister" contrives to steal out in the evening with all of her own clothes and as many more as she can collect, and rejoins her "brother," setting out with him for "fresh wonds, and pastures new." With that keen instinct for analogy PARIS, June 20th, which characterises the Chinese, they have French police officials state that the Nihilist invented for this proceeding the name of "falcon- conspiracy recently discovered here was fostereding, with a woman," likening it to the sport of by German agents.

It is a popular proverb, that "playing the falcon with a woman" implies a plot in which two persons are cocerned. An inquirer is told that in some districts this practice of "falconing " is "exceedingly common," for the supply of gullible persons who hope to buy a wife at a cheaper rate than usual never falls.-N. C. Daily News.

The children attending the convent school in Tipperary refused to-day to enter the building unless the children of the constabulary were expelled. Two hundred children of the National ists then formed a procession and marched to the school house with banners to request the removal of the obnoxious children. This being refused, they marched through the town all finally dispersed by the police."

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF A CHINESE GIRL.

The next stage in the proceedings was to put the matter into the hands of friends, begging them to undertake what the principal could no! do for himself. (This act is expressed in Chinese by the character te, which means, "to engage one to do," a word for which there is no equivalent in the English language, perhaps for the charac- teristic reason that those who made the English language had never learned to engage one to do," but when they wanted anything done, did it themselves. To simplify the narrative, and to avoid circumlocutions, we shall use t'o as

whom the father-in-law thought to do was a person named Ma, who lived in a village six miles away, but it was first necessary to 'o one of the father-in-law's townsmen to get at Ma, the two being distantly connected. This made what the Chinese call a "circuitous The man Ma passed on the 'o to another man, named Yu, each of them having been salt inspectors in the same district.

The man Yü passed on his fo to another local bully in a village several miles distant. The man Ma had another so to see the head inspector of salt for the district, who is asked to make an official report to the magistrate, reciing the alleged facts, against the sal! inspector, who is the girl's cousin.

no time is the necessity for uniter endeavour on the part of Masters and Officers greater than now. The constant cropping up of new features in the ever-changing surfaci to the shipping world, having many point directly affecting nautical interests,, require the greatest vigilance on the part of the representa tives of our Mercantile Marine.

The work carried on by the combined efforts of this and kindred bodies is increasiny enormously,

Much of this work is for the good of every Certificated Officer in the Service, and in the general interests a large expenditure of time and money is absolutely necessary. While the wel fare of the whole is thus jealously and zealously guarded and advanced, the associated workers reaping distinct and manifold benefits,

The work is necessarily limited, however, but its expansion is simply a question of constituents. Given the adhesion of evory Certificated Mariner and the direct and indirect benefit to the British. Merchant Service will be incaletilable,

The keys of the maritime world await the claim of a United Mercantile Marine to thei possession. The cohesion of every part will undoubtedly constitute the whole the rightful Without possessor of the appropriate power, this a thousand disintegrating fragments play havoc with a splendid heritage. The opportuni, ties for a rallying of forces have been frequently presented, but most have passed by unimproved Again the signs are favourable, the claims are great, the call is clear, and the response should be unanimous.

All the great elements in the composition of the Merchant Service would be healthier, stronger, and more prosperous by reason of a united brotherhood of naulical men. The Goỳ-, crament, Shipowners, Underwriters, Shippers, and all connected with the commercial life of the Service would be invigorated, while the maritime bone and muscle would respond to the head and heart of a full-toned organization.

tainly he would. Upon this the inspector was dismissed, and the second stage of the proceed ings closed with us little result as the first. After these repeated failures of justice, the poor father in-law resolved to make one more trial, a des- perate expedient, but the only one which was left. He seized the occasion of the passing of the district official through that village, to kacel in front of the sedan-chair and proclaim his grievance. The magistrate merely repeated what had been said in court, that he knew nothing about the matter; that it was not his business to find the cattle of those who might lose them, neither was it his function to recover daughters- in-law, He also expressed the opinion that the father-in-law was lacking in proof of his case, and was falsely accusing parties who were inno- cent, and then ordered his chair to proceed. The only remaining hope of tracing the missing person was to follow up chance cluts. For example, a man living in a village near to the home of the father-in-law had a daughter visiting in the village in which lived the mother in-law of the obnoxious cousin. This young girl, while on this visit, saw a cart drive to the door of this mother-in-law, which was directly opposite, and saw a girl who was crying put into the cart and driven away. A persistent effort to follow up this story resulted in nothing more than a declaration that it was only the "talk of children." A visit on the part of the father-in-law to the village to which the cart in question was supposed to have gone, resulted in the discovery In of nothing. In such à care, no one will give any information whatever, no matter what he may know, for the reason that the possible effect may be to drag him as witness into a fearful lawsuit, which is only one step removed from being the principal victim oneself. This is so universal almroat a deterrent in a quest of this sort
