There is a strange ceremony performed at the opening of the riding course on the examination ground at Wechang. Afer the usual sacrifices of incense have been offered to Heaven, Earth, and the God of War, a second sacrifice, co smaller scale, takes place, accompanied by buin Ing a pair of now sandals. This custom daten back for many years and people have forgotten "how it originated. It is said that long, long ago, while the examination was progressing and the students were riding furlously along the course, abooting their atowa, a sandal hawker, "In his eagerness to get a closer view, was knocked down and kille! by an unmanageable steed From that day is spirit haunted the place. No doubt it wished to enjoy a sight of the examina tions every three years.

In Yangchow there are many establishments where story-tellers are hired to relate to an admising audience tales of battle.or slege, and beroic achievements or love episodes of ancient China. One day recently, while the audience was deeply interested in one of the complicated inigues of the Three Kingdoms, stalling ere of "Murder," "Fle," eta, eta,, were heard from the apartment file proprietor of the establishment. The crowd rushed lo. and soon ⚫found out the cause of the disturbance. It seems that while the proprietor was quietly smok ing oplum, a stranger, whooptly entered and lay down to take a whiff The proprietor was astounded and demanded an explanation. The stranger said that he was the leader of the 18 provinces, and that it was not too much liberty to rest on a common fellow's couch. The pro- -prietor gave the alarm, and his son, armed, with a sword, lesped in. The stranger also drew bis weapon, but was soon overpowered. He refused toutter one word after that, and was sent to the yamin for examination.

QUEER OFFERS OF EXCHANGE. London only could telerate such a paper as the Exchange and Mart, ä’weekly journal with a large circulation, a most comfortable income, and devated principally to a system of exchange of goods between Britisher and Britisher, male and female both.
