HONGKONG, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1890.

It was but yesterday that the electric cables flashed from one end of the hemisphere to the other the news of the emancipation of the negro on the East Coast of Africa by the Sultan of Zanzibar. This measure, second only in importance to the eman cipation of the West Indian slaves by Great Britain fifty years ago and the abolition of slavery in the United States of America twenty-five years since, has been mainly brought about by British influence, Notwithstanding the continual efforts of enlightened States to put down this mast dobasing of all trades, it would seem that Portugal, (In this, as in almost all progres- sive acts, a century behind the age), in true to her idea of modern civilisation, and countenances Iniquitous measures by the dozen so long as they can be made to contribute to the public (1) revenue. An apt Illustration of this is to be seen to-day in the neighbouring colony of Macao, where efforts are being made by a certain notorious combination to re-open what is nothing more nor less than the coolle traffic of twenty years ago, in its worst forins.

He pressed for a heavy penalty in accordance with the pro visions of Ordinance 4 of 1875. His Worship remanded the case until Monday in order that the employer of the prisoner might be summoned to appear, as it was thought that he was the real culprit, and not the penniless coolle who was put forward, possibly, to bear the brunt of the punishment. The coolle was therefore allowed out on ball in one surety of five dollars. An erect bodily attitude is of vastly more import- ance to health than most people generally imagine, says the New York Ledger. Crooked bodily positions, maintained for any length of time, are always lefurious whether in a sitting, standing or lylag position, whether sleeping or waking. To sit with the body leaning forward on the stomach or to one side, with the heels elevated on a level with the hands, is not only in bad taste, but exceedingly detrimental to your health; it cramps, the stomach, presses the vital esgans, interrupts the free motion of the chest and enfeebles the fanc. tons of the abdominal and thorale organs, and, in fact, unbalances the whole muscular system. Many children become slightly humpbacked or severely round-shouldered by sleeping with the head raised on a high pillow. When any person finds it is easier to sit or stand or walk or sleep in a crooked position than a straight one, he may be sure his muscular system is deranged, and the more careful he should be to preserve an upright position.

RAILWAYS IN SIAM., 'To the Editox, or tus: “ Horɑkond TelegraYİ "

SIR-In this moming's issue of the Daily Press there is a leading article of a character calculated to mislead people in Hongkong anent Siam and the Siamese railways, which I think it my bounden duty to set right. Having been in Slam for nearly two years, and, from my position on the Preis there, of necessity conversant with all the facts in the case, I think I can speak with authority, or at least from knowledge. In proof of this I assert, over my own name, that the paragraph upon which the article in the Daily Press is based, quoted from the Bangkok Times, is neither more nor less than a newspaper fiction, written by myself with the endeavor to arouse the Siamese into action in regard to the railways which are to be, to quote my own words" sometime or other." That the paragraph had some effect I know, but it was not the one so glowingly set forth in the Daily Press as deduced from the Bangkok Times. The real

facts are :-

A spasmodic effort was made to call a meeting of the so-called company, but when the members assembled and the actual source of the "letters was ascertained as is usual in Slam-nothing was done. There are good and solid reasons for this. Neither the people not the Government are rich enough to build railways in Siam, and they never will be built except by foreign capital. There is a good deal of teaming wealth in Stam, but it is like the palaces and wars-mere tinsel. Noris the foreign community either large enough or rich enough to father a railway, even to the extent of the small line from Bangkok to Paknam. The greatest factor to be considered in Siamere affairs is the preponderance and wealth of the

of nationalities each antipathetic to the other, controlled by governments mutually antagonistic, actuated by powerful repulsions, dispersed over the face of the earth, and at present incapable of any combination for their common interest. The Mongolians, on the contrary, have the balk of their race concentrated in one comparatively compact territory, controlled by a single and despotic ruler, For 2,000 years they have been repairing the depletion in their numbers conse quent upon a colossal migration which at that time eccured. Their energies have been native land, while the Caucasians have been compressed within the narrow limits of their diffusing their peoples in vast colonisations of regions previously thinly peopled, or occupied only by weak and barbarcus races, or by multi- tudinous but effete relics of expiring civilisations.. such as the Artec. The waiversal inspiration of movement has, however, of late years affected fa some degree, at least, the fringes of the Chines Population. The Malayan Atchipelago and the auriferous regions of Western America and of Australia have felt their presence. In small oriunities, such as the Friendly Islands, their numbers press upon the original peoples, and threaten to displace them. The United States bave formally repelled these emigrants, and our own thin populations have ventured to enact These preceedings, prohibitive, legislation, while operating as a temporary check, appear, from many indications, to have been effectual in

adverse direction. They have aroused the tention of the Chinese Government hitherto almost unconscious of the outward movement of iufiultesimal fractions of its subjects, to the evidences of pressure upon the bome space, and to the existence of delectable regions without. They have fouther affronted the haughty spirit of high and mighty rulers who have been

customed to regard all the outer world as constituted of tributary kingdoms and inferior Feoples. It is but recently that a Chinese ambassador conveyed to the Court of St. James a peremtory demand from his sovereign, that to the Chinese people should be extended the same privileges throughout the British domlalons, as are extended to the subjects of any other foreiga rateptate.
