at the beginning, and 40 (not 14) at the end of his term. · Now, I am not a personal friend of | Joseph Von Ulrich, nor am I in any way. acquainted with him; but I, being a true-born Englishman, for humanity's anke have taken up my pen to write you this' letter, in the hope that you will publish it in your much esteemed paner in the interest of the nublic.
First of all, this man Ulrich was charged with obinising goods under false pretences by the Secretary of the Hongkong Trading Co. This charge against Ulrich completely collapsed, as was expected, owing to the want of evidenco.. Tha second charge against him was for having stolen a belt from an inmate of the Peak Hospital, valued at the paltry sum of 75 cents, and for this charge alone he was sent to gaol for six months with hard labour and solitary confinements.
Now, Mr. Edlior, do you think that if Ulrich were a Britisher he would-be sentenced to such severe punishment? I doubt it. Ulrich may be a rogue and a scoundrel of the worst type, but a prty theft of 75 cents-worth of property does not warrant a Magistrate to punish him so severely, I agree with you, Sir, when you sald ometime ago that justice, If Justice It may be called, was cock-eyed' in this colony.
Thanking you in anticipation for pablishing this letter,-
I am,
Your's faithfully,
A BRITON.
Hongkong, 29th September, 1891,
THE NAVAL YARD POLICE,
To the Editor or the "Ilonakoma Tuumimayu.".
SIR-Allow the Insertion of a few lines in your valuable columns to draw the attention of the Hongkong public, especially of those connected with the Admiralty, to the grievances of the men of H.M. Naval Yard police force in this Colony, The standard number of members of this Force amounts, all tokl, to 37 men, 25 of whom are constables, 6 sergeants and one inspector.
A man on joining, enenges for a lers of fire years on a salary of $40 a-month and free quarters, boots and clothing included. No increase whatever of this salary is given, no matter however long a man may remain in the Force; it is only on promotion to the rank of sergeant that the addition of $5 is added to a constable's pay. The Thspector's salary is $100 a month and free quarters. The constables and sergeants do six hours daty a day; this is done in periods of two weeks together on night dutý, and two weeks on day duty alternately, the day duties being varied and responsible.
Permilt me, first of all, to show, by way of comparison, the difference that now actually exists between the conditions of the men of the Naval Yard Police, and those of the Hongkong Police Force. Men for the Hongkong Police are Invariably drafted out from home for a terms of fite-years, on a salary of $50 a month and free quarters, they having extras arising from pay. ments for Telegraphy and Fire Brigade. The acting sergeants' pay is fixed $52), and that of full sergeants at $55 a month. Confirmed Inspectors, two classes, $80 and $100 respectively. On the completion of five years service every member of the Force is intitled to nine months leave of absence on half-pay and a passage to England and vice versa, and whilst doing so he receives full pay. Those who have permission to marry and live outside the barracks get $15 allowed them for house rent. A pension is grahied after 15 years service, at the rate of a quarter of each respective salary on the expiration of such service. Rewards and allowances are awarded for good conduct and long service.
Now, Sir, in taking the above statements into consideration, it will be seen by the most curious observer, that's glaring difference exists between the two Forces, although both live in the same place and under the same general circumstances. The one enjoys many advan tages which the other does not the one has something to look forward to in old age, whilst the Dock Yard policeman, whose duties are no less indispensable than those of any other Palice Force, is left to tell an in possession | of mocking mera than ¡bis scanty pay, No prospects await him in the future, but he must ever remain-If something is not done to help him-humbly subservient, and patiently endeavour to forget his pitiful position.
I may mention, too, that an applicant must be strictly of as undeniable character before he can join the Naval Yard Police Force, and I think, therefore, that he ought to be better remunerated for his services. I do not know what those lo power think,
Your faithfully'

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1891.
When parasites like that follower of the Loard, "C" D.," are allowed to go about preaching an obsolete, played-out, worn-out, washed-out creed, they ought to be more careful how they speak of Europeans, who earn their bread by honest work.
And I think that all my fellow workers in the East will agree with me in stating that the least punishment that ought to be inflicted on missionary #C.D. is that be ought to be lifted up by the start of his pants, and thrown over. the battlements of creation.

case of relief or case; hence we wish It would hurry up, and get done with it. The authorities are keeping their forces conspicuous. In every street and lane soldiers may be seen lounging about. A hundred "braves" were told off to perambulate the settlement, and this they falthfully did, when they were not aquatting on the grass, or otherwise engaged in resting themselves. To-day they have been withdrawn at the request of our authorities, for It was found, as usual, that their presence encouraged loafers to be more obstreperous than they otherwise would have been ; besides, they took it upon themselves to interfere with the police in the discharge of their duty. We are quieter without them, and safer too,

I am convinced that the Dritish Consul at Ichang, is a gentleman of the right sort, not only an account of the plucky way in which he remained alone at the Consulate during the late di turbance, but also because of the energy he displayed in dealing with the Native efficials subsequently.
The Ella, chartered by the British Govern ment, arrived at the port at 11 p.m. on the 16th inst, with the sailors and arms despatched in her from H.M.S Archer. Next morning at 100'clock the British Consul paid his official visit to the ship, and a salute of seven guns was fired when he leff. No doubt it was on account of the pre- sence of the officers, binnjackets, and the armed ship that the day passed nit' q letly.
To Count d'Arnoux, Commissioner of Cus. toms bis staff. and Mr. A. Gordon Brown, agent of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, is due the greatest cr. dit for, the brave way, in which they defended the Custom House at Ichang during the riot. There were no half measures taken by them on that memorable occasion, but rifles and sword-bayonets, with zo rounds of eminunition were served out to each man, and the directors of the defence had every intention of u-ing them freely If necessary.

CA Drunkenness is really concentrated selfishness Selfishness-feeds on it till it develops sheer braidah unconcern for others, Hence the wretchedness of the typical drunkard's home; the crimes that are ascribed to drunkenness and the whole train of miseries that dog its steps. Drunkenness is want of self-control. A person of entire self-control may never become a drunkard, He may be á xlv tippler; but. he will always keep within the bounds of discretion. That is why the misguided effects of enthusiastic teetotalers make us despair of any substantial amelioration of the too painfully real drinking habits of a great proportion of the population.
