STFAM LAUNI H NUISANCE. TO THE EDITOR of the "Hongkong "Telegrafi." DEAR IR,Will you kindly insert in your paper the following facts connected with the baveramed subj et, viz., although the whistling nuisance is suppressed east of the Harbour Office we peos unfortunate individuals residing west of that department every day suffer the most excruciating agony, worse than the tortures There are two launches running of Hades. from the P. and 10. wharf, opposite the Marine Hotel, to Aberdeen (apposition, I believe naned respectively. Po Hing and Chuen On) which start their unearthly screams about six in the morning and keep on whistling without intermission until about 8 p.m. Last Friday morning the Po Hing 'hlew ber whistle thirty times in five minutes." Why should we, becauSO we are residing beyond the regions of the elite, have to endure such a nuisance? Surely the authorities should take some steps to remedy this, although still nothing better than poor
morials,
If you will kindly publish this we will ever pray etc., etc., and remain,

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT).
10th September, 1890. It is reported that a child was eaten by turtles," In this city, a short time agal There is a large pool of water in front of the yamien of the Provincial Treasurer. In this prol, a number of large turtles are kept, in order, as it is said to keep'robbers from barrowing into the vaults of the Treasury. Some of the large eaus have shells that would measure two feet by three feet or more in width and length. People are constantly standing about the pool watching them as they came up to feed or to take breath. One day a nurse with a child in her arms was standing there when the child suddenly sprang into the water. The tarties soon gathered around it, tore it to pieces and devoured it. The nurse flid
The high officials of the province are giving practical evidence of their belief in the doctrine of fing-shut. They have toru down a store or more of houses owned and occupied by families in front of the examination hall The plea is that the hall has an unlucky shape, and therefore few scholars from this province take degrees. This opinion was first expressed by a scholar who made known his views to the officials, They listened the more readily to his suggestion because he had a few years ago recommended that the tower over the gate of the Confucian temple grounde should be raised three feet higher in deference to fing-shui. This was done and to! that year several of the highest degrees were taken in the city.
A few months ago; he called the attention of the officials to the rhape of the hall. It is in the form of a tortoise. Outside of the north wall, there is a bridge spanning a canal and pointing in a northern direction which well represents the tail. Then there are two bridges on the east side and two on the west side which represent the four legs of a tortoise. But at the south, where the head ought to be, there is nothing whatever to represent it-nothing but short neck and a succession of ordinary houses. reaching away indefinitely,
Evidently a thing without a head is dead and therefore in.fficient, The houses have been torn down and a large space has been cleared off, preparatory to erecting something that wil serve as a head to the now headless trunk of a tortoise.-N. C. Daily News.

13th September, 1890.' H.E. the Viceroy has devised a plan to raise a part of the required sum of Th. 2 000 000 for the Inundation Fund, by levying a percentage on all government servants' salarjes..
On Monday evening last a Chinele Junk freighted with kerosine oil took fire on the river above the New Custom House, and drifted slowly down stream with her crew swimming round and splashing water on her. She was presently taken in charge by a sampan, and guided cn her course, but on two or three occasions managed to get uncomfortably close to some Chinese ship ing and the wharves. The wind, however, was fortunately blowing away from the Bund and she was'teken safely down beyond Tr-chu-lin. The beat on the bund The drifted by was Intenie, and the whole neigh curbhood on both banks looked very weird under the illumination.
And therefore Janah is the first case of Tettisoning on scoid-if we bar Noah's discharge of the dove from the Ark.
It is rather curimus, when you come to think of it, that Jetanin should have ben first practiced on the human boly, but it has been often done since and, perhaps, even since the gentlemen of the black red la persuade their excess passengers to "walk the plank."
Funny lot here rovers were, too, if we are to hetve all the tales al mut them For my part I de not, and I took upon Sr Walter Scott's dashing and chivalrous Clement 1:veland as about as impossible a pirate as Mr. Farate Paul Jones, Fancy ans free-lance of the sea ever deliberately tuning up his manly pipe to sing fike this:-
"Upon leche, when a seputer, swept,
Our leker to wreck n'er the tallow, Thro' my watch down below I tranquilly siepi,
Nor knew death stood at my pillow. What was it brightened my lot,
As the sun on the ging font What charm, that chest li posfraught
If 'twas not things of homet
Aye when sloh quick climbing,
"Trinishing a sal,
Dells nimy ear came chiming
Faint through the gala.
And in mere tender radice falling,
Loving accents my heme recalling," Bich nizhegh the seemin
1 wks to find it, seaming."
I should think, so, indeed, and doubtless his to charac'erise such thoroughly unpiratieal sentimentality as ald Eccles did the claret which
he imbibed by mistake-as "rét, beastly rot!"
But, howsomedever, as Jack Bunee's (other wise Frederick Altamont's) faithful and unfortunate fellow-vagabond used to say,-let us return to the subject of lightening the ship.
but is most serviceable ashore. The Arablan Marabuts are supposed to raise storms, and they are ften thrown overboard if the wind comes from the wrong quarter.
Some people say that just as to Odin we owe the modern Old Nick-the demon of the sea- (as has air-ady been explained in these pages)
o to the Indian Deva we owe the modern Davy Jones the demon of the depths. It may be so. The Devil has gone through so many transformations himself that a few twists to his name may be easily allowed.
Bu if Davy was Dera, who was Jones? The prophet Jonah, of course, who was the first instance of Jetssm in the history of maritime enterprise. This also is plausible, but my own belief is that Davy Jones was a Welshman, and my reason for thinking so is that Taffy was a Welshman, and Taffy was also a thief. More- over, the Welsh Coast, has been famous both for wrecks and wreckers, and also for pirates and plunder..
As for the locker-what could be more. appropriate? There is no man so deep as your true Taffy, and you may live alongside of him for a century without ever getting to the bottom of him. But he will precious soon, get to t-c bottom of you, if he has the chance, and turn you inside out and cut you adrift in a brace of shakes,
The original David was a knowing one-be, I mean, who was laconically yet sufficiently de- ! scribed in a school essay as having cild Glia." But he wasn't a circumstance to David Jones, Esq. of Lickwyllgwapwallyn. It is probable
that Taffy is also the same individual as the Duff of the West Indian niggers, but anyhow I am firmly persuaded that Davy Jones was a Welshman, and that his locker typifies the bound- less receptivity and pronounced adhesiveness of the Cymrian nature-Fairplay.

Of course you all know the story of Jonah, and if you don't you had better go back to the Sunday School. But it is as well to remark that the Mahemmedan story of this unfortunate voyager | CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL is almost precisely the same as that of the Bible. Trouble occurred when the ship was 10 many days out from part,-lots were cast to see whose fault it was, the lot fell upon Jenab, and that unhappy wight was jettisoned. A prophet in the olden time seems to have been regarded as undesirable a passenger as a Finn was up to the last century.

For, you know, or, perhaps, you don't-and I hope you don't, for then you will be all the more grateful to me.-Finn wiz uds were supposed to be the aiders and ab-tors of all the storm-fiends in creation The devith art of raising the wind upon a lec shore was their pecular talent, and in consequence they were dreaded and hated by all sailors. Some of them were supposed to carry winds aber with them in baps, to let lose at the most inconvenient and critical times. In Shelland they used to put on stal-kins, and pretesibing to be se·ls, would chase the boats among the rocks, and then raise such a storm as to kanck them to smithereens, Decidedly unpleasant characters were, these mischievous Finns, and it is quite possible, as has.bern sometimes suppored, that they were the "astral" descredents of the old Norwegian sea rirates, whose' drings usid te stir to enibu- siasm the incccent soul of fair Minna,, Troil, of Winte Burgh Westra.
There is a black cock in Dana's capital sca- story, who was morally afraid of are of the sailors because he was a Finn. This cook had known Finnish sailmaker who could do devilish things, such as keeping a rum-gitle which, like the wid w's craise was always being drawn upon withou ever geuing empty. The nan ased to hold e·nversations with this batile, 100, and pparently got altogether too intimate with it for he cut his throat in a thoroughly unseamanlike manner. Blackie had also seen a ship in the Gulf of Findland beating against a strong headwind, when a Finish vessel steering the same course few past her with a fine breeze aft and all sails set.

Foth lawyers and priests used to be accounted risky cargo. As regards lawyers, the objection to them is a congenital one wi.h Jack, who hates the whole profession as a race of land-sharks. But as regards the parson, it is not quite so engy to T understand Jack's feeling.
