The contrast between the present senson and the last is very marked. While there have been many and heavy rains this year, there has been nothing like a flood. The crops which of June, were saved by timely showers failing were ruined' by the drought in the latter part just in the nick of time, and in almost all directions the outlook is reported to be extremely favourable. But one is never sure of his crops in this country (or perhaps in any other) until they have been harvested, and not always then. A man, living in a village not ar from bere, had gathered a good crop of wheat, and soon after harvest took advantage of a clear hot day to bring out a few bushels and spread it on the threshing-floor to ing of the craly. Suddenly and without a to prevent beat- moment's warning, a black cloud seemed to fill the sky, and so rapid was the downpour, that in spite of his utmost exertions, the farmer, who was watching his grain, could not recover any of it, before it was carried away by a torrent into the village mudhole.

At last accounts the difference in the level was said to be about five feet whereas last year at this time the Canal was several feet higher than the river. The lack of water in the river is to be explained by the extraordinary drought in Shans, where at the end of June no rain had fallen, and the prospect for crops was of the most dismal description. The banks of the streams on the plains are always so high that the water which falls covers whatever low spots there may be, where it remains until it soaks into the ground or evaporates Thus the rivers are of almost no use as drains for the level country, but only for the mountain torrents, for which be accom- medation is generally totally inadequate.

Since the preceding paragraph was written, word comes that the Linching theatricals have been eminently successful. The river has risen six feet; the locks have been opened; the grals- feet is in full sail for Tungchow !
