Dear Sir,-We, being the whole of the saloon passengers on the steamship Guthrie from Port Darwin to Hongkong, cannot allow the occasion of our leaving your ship to pass without availing ourselves of the opportunity to place on record our high appreciation of the many good quali ties displayed by you under the very trying circumstances which 'have arisen during the voyage; for what could be more distressing to you than the command of a.steamer stripped of her propeller in the midst of one of the most awful typhoons ever known in a sem running mountains high, and helplessly drifting on to lea,shore.
We are deeply sensible that under Providence we owe our lives to the pluck, determination and good seamanship which you evinced day after day, and night after night, for over a week at a stretch, and that in fighting as it were to the last gasp, in which you were nobly seconded by your officers and crew, you succeeded in saving your ship and one hundred and forty lives, it a

4th October, 1890, The German Legation affords a pleasing practical proof of the interest it Intends hence forth to make in the welfare of the Catholic Missions by making an appeal to the German community for contributions to the relief of the distress in the Vicariate of South Shantung, which is under the care of a German bishop, Anser, THEATRE Now on a voyage to Europe. The notification appears under the signature of Mr. von Brandt in the Ostasiatische Lloyd, and the German Bank in Shanghai is the authorized channel for the receipt of contributions. The quality of mercy is not strained,, and famine contributions are always understood to have results extending heyond the immellate subjects of relief. There is doubtless a certain significance in the appeal made direct by the German Minister expressly for the German diocese of South Shantung, and if there be a double motive, we hope for the sake ofthe poor people concerned that the benevolence doubly stirred to action thereby. of the German residents in China will be

27th September, 1890. The Artificial opening which the people of the inundated district had the sense and courage to make in the bank of the Grand Canal, has released the region from water in an unexpected and indeed unprecedented length of time. All the higher land is now visible, and much of it is so dry that the villagers are straining every effort to put in as much wheat as possible, Owing to the firm faith in the theory previously mentioned, that the locust is evolved from the spawn of fish, it is regarded as certain that by next year the locust plague will be upon that district. But it is hoped that the wheat may be ripe before the locusts are most ravenous, and as wheat is the most profitable crop, every available acre will be planted with it. The distress will be much less than we feared, and it does not seem to be necessary for many persons to leave their homes as refugees, though many have gons elsewhere to bide for a time with their relatives. The soil is so thoroughly saturated, -that in several instances, a month or more after the water had began to subside, houses fell with no warning, the earth beneath them being unable to support the weight of the structure,
Intermittent fever of all types is extremely prevalent, and the call for quinine at the dispensary is five hundred times as great as usual.

Going first to the wickets Campbell's men made a fair-show, Sercombe-Smith (27), Frank Lammest (32), S. Coxon (23), and J. W. Jones (13) doing most of the execution. The innings eventually closed for 130. 1. S. Exekici took three wickets for 25 runs, and Blair and L. Taverner two each for 23 respectively, Anderson kept wicket in promising form.
The first three batsman of Blair's team were easily got rid of, but when Ezekiel and the captain got together the bowling was severely punished, the former especially hitting out in capital style At gun-fire the score stood at 125 for four wickets, Ezekiel carrying out his bat for 64.
