that dwell in our soul and heart, that linger in our memory, that excite our intellect, are inexpressibly varied." Nevertheless there are ever so many methods of expressing certain emotions which are common to almost every nation of the globe, that, now we come to think of it, we certainly deem it a pity that nobody ever thought it worth his while to complie an Illustrated dictionary for the classification of the different modes of expressions which are universally used by mankind for expressing their emotions when words do not answerthe purpose. What a literary treat such a book would afford. In fact it is hardly possible to over estimate the usefulness of such a precious encyclopedia. If you wish to have an idea of what it will be like, you must, in the first in tance, like Diogenes in his tab, be possessed of a philosophical turn of mind. And in order give free scope to your imagination you should for a certain time give up all other unnecessary pursuits for killing time, and restrict your observations to the study of human nature in the shape of mothers-in-law, morbid-minded old maids, newly married people trying to exist on nothing but the bounties of Cupid lawyers, &c., &c. At the expiration of a month or so you may just refresh youself with a soupcon of cognac, and go up to some quiet place, one fine cool evening, and with a cigar in your mouth attempt to give the necessary shape and coloring to your experiences and mental impressions. You may imagine, for instance, how you would begin to put all your ideas and mind-pictures into a book, and before many minutes are over, you would picture to yourself hundreds of the most Instructive peculiarities of this funniest of all arts.
It might strike you, for instance, that you will have in page 1 of your book the figure of a lawyers nostrils inflated, lips compressed, the eyebrows raised up, the right hand high up in the air, and the left leg well forward. And at the bottom of this picture you may inscribe an explanatory line such as "Expressive of a wicked impulse arising from the untimely titillation of the bump combativeness."

The midnight, bell is ringing, and the light from the chandeller is flickering with signs of extinction, as we write this, and everything around soon becomes painfully still, as the last echo of the noise from the bells dies away; and Just as we are going to conclude our rigmarole a sudden, peculiar sensation as if some one is standing behind our chair, compels us to sit still and square, and explain away this mysterious feel- ing. Perhaps it is the Doppelganger, as Jacob Pocheme has it, or the astral duplicate of some affronted lady, whomay have been unintentionally an noyed by us, come forth to oze out its current of will power in order to paralyse our frame with an ethereal Sniff. It requires a supreme effert of the will to withstand the agonising temptation to sun away. Somehow or other we rise slowly from our seat, and shrinkingly turn round to see whom? Nothing. What a relief! It was only à soit of hallucination, created from the baunting and fearful thought of laying ourselves open to so many different Sniffs from those of the fair readers who may hastily think that a sarcastic tone has been employed in defence of their undoubted superiority.
However this may be we must now put a period to our Odds and Ends, until some fature occasion, as we have had enough illorations in last nights' dreamland of this enchanting art of Sniffing & to last us some time. The least annoying being the ghost of our great-grand- mother baunting our sleep with a grim Saiff, remindful of our having cheated her out of five cents, when seat to buy her a snuff box at the

There is a mysterious fascination in the ideas conveyed to the mind by means of unspoken language which lends the thing a charm no human speech can equal, and especially so in cases of strong love, or strong hatred, when the eyes do all the speaking. When you tell a man you hate him, you simply create an idea in his, mind such as the words, of themselves, convey. But if you focus him (a little vulgar this word focus, but no matter; we must go on for fear leat the other ideas in our head would get confounded) with a soulful glance, in fact, if you slay hi

How much can be conveyed, all in a lump in one single, quivering, fluttering, gance from a pair of love-lit eyes! Cupid, the blind little Imp of an archer, has set down many a charming lesson to be studied by bis victims in order to learn how to express themselves when particularly hard hit.

And of all the methods in vogue for the lawful and satisfactory expression of ineffable disgust, commend me to the encyclopedical comprehen diveness of a heartily delivered Sniff-especially a feminine one.
Here let us pause a while, and reflect on the difference between a masculine and a feminine Sniff. A masculine Sniff, that is to say the Sniff produced by a man when he has to exest himself, is as a rule a somewhat lengtby affair, unrefined, and savoring of perceptible maliciousness. But sniff delivered by a lady
In Peking, in many places the streets are Impassable, the water being on a level with the highest part of the streets, making it an easy matter for travellers (as your correspondent knows from experience) to step into the water- covered openings of the sewers, which is not a pleasant episode, even when on horseback.
At Tungchow, a terrent of water descended from the mountains during the night, and swept away the larger portion of the east suburb, drowning several people. Three of the five gates of the city are impassable.

The property purchased by the Company is as follows
A piece of land having a frontage to the Bund of 246 ft. 5 in. and held in perpetuity from the Japanese Government at an almost nominal rental. This ground was the first selection made when the port was opened to foreign trade, and carries with it the extremely valuable privilege
to use the bench in front of the land for its entire
length d:wn to low water mark, an advantage not enjoyed by any lot in the Foreign Concession, and which effectually secures to the property an uninterrupted view of the Harbour.
The main building of the Hotel, situated at the corner of Division Street and the Bund, and in close proximity to the Hatoba, the usual landing place for passengers from vessels visiting Kobe. The building in substantially constructed of stone and brick, and has recently been repaired and painted, and contains spacious Bar and Billiard Rooms, large Dining Room, Bed Rooms, Wait- ing Room, and extensive accommodation for baths, &c-in abort, all the requisites of a first- class Hotel.

When a member of the fair sex cuts a matter short with a Sniff, she gives effect to it with so much delicacy of control, and unperceivable intensity of expression, that although there is a frightful amount of energy let loose in the effort, the outward effect is such as not to let you perceive openly any unladylike malignity in her christian aspect; at the same time making you very much feel a sensation similar to what you would feel if
