It appears that there has been considerable ex citement and apprehension felt in Amoy for some litle time owing to a threatened attack of some rloters who, goaded on by a number of Kolao Hwel men, were advancing upon the post from the country, Connois, aided by the Taotul, managed, however, to intimidate them sufficiently to alter their plans and arrest thele further progress, and now all seems qufet again, but aman-of-war would give a sense of security that la now seldom felt by the numerous foreign residents. Although have spent some of the unhappiest days of my life to Amoy, yet there in something about the place which recommends Itself to one's sympathy, Being so reposeful and so quaintly picturesque it arouses my warmest feelings, and in departing I can, but say again and for the last time
Farewell, Amoyt In sadness I depart,
For mid thy rocks reposes still my beart My flecting hours upon your tranquil shore
W be remembered till my days are 'er
With mild regret.
Farewelli sequester'd nooks and sunny scenes
Remembrance for a moment intervenes,
And, touching Then and Now with
Fast setting in the sky of bygone days
Brings peace of mind, Farewellt snug harbour, with your old-world ships And antiquated asilors from whose lips Strange droway chaunts I've heard at noon
and are
That into melody the wind would weave The wind and tide.
Forewal, half-hidden homesteads grandly graced
By Nature's fairest foliage interlaced, Where weary eyes and hearts Gad happy essa
Beneath huge boulders ando'erhanging trees
Near to the sCL.
Farewell malesite highlands when the crown
Of dying Day reclines upon a gown Of unseen flowers, lone graves of wind-swept fits And little quaint time-hallowed sepulchres
Watch'd o'er by Death.
Grim sentry, keep your silent watch until
Above the rugged crest of yonder blil,' Far Eastward, in the carly morning skies The everlasting star of Life shall rise
To give you rest, Great Death my wond'ring mind doth often rest
Upon 'your si'ent home, and in the west Can pleture you alone in calm survey
Of countless ages, locking far awaymaka
Whence Life shall come.

Last night the second meeting of the Peking Legation,hen Dr. Forke of the German Oriental Society was held at the Japanese Legation delivered a very entertaining lecture on "Peking Street Pedlars and Hawkers " he proceedings were highly amusing and instructive. Many of the street sounds, both vocal and Instrumental, so familiar to dwellers In Peking, were reproduced by the lecturer to perfection, and created rones of laughter. In address, a good deal of curius information was the discussion that ensued at the end of the

Amusing discussion he once heard between a barber and a chiropodist, as to which of them took precedence in the community. After the birber had stated his case the chiropodist selled the matter by orguing that he must take precedence of the barber because he could. sit in presence of the Emperor while carting his Majesty's corns, while the barber had to stand while shaving the meanest colle.
