In the course of the drainage work to be carried out under the Sanitary Board's scheme down west there will be an immense amount of solid rock to be cat. We must beg the Board's officers (it fe no use talking to Chinese contractors) to make a note of Tang King's punishment, and to keep a very strict watch over their blasting work, in the interests of humanity and of their own safety, physical and otherwise. AMONG the distinguished persons now visiting Hongkong is Mr. Lople Duble, who yesterday got magnificenty drunk, and rushed into a black smith shop and threw things about generally, to see if they were harder than the village black with's own head.

ACCORDING to a Northern contemporary the following story is told as to the examination at Wohu of one of the rioters: we do not vouch for its truth, but it is at least very probable. The prisoner was being forced under torture to give the names of the leaders of the Kolao Hai ho had organised the sint at Wahu: "All the military officers in the province," he said. Nonsense," said the judge. 'give us some "My life," he said, "is forfeit in any case. Il T give up the names, the Kolaos will kill me and the whole of my family, and wine my name off the face of the earth. If I remain firm, you will kill me, but the Kolaos will take care of my family, and see that they come to no harm." And he refused to give up the names.
