CANTON.

[FROM A, CORRESPONDENT.)

CANTON, 11th December, 1891, There is very little going on here at present Business #11 round is the reverie of flourishing, and New Year. próspresince anything but bright, The only noteworthy event that has bappened here lately was the bar held last night at the Masonic Hall under the auspices of the Wesleyan Mission, and even that would not have been in any way remarkable but for a row that took place between the Masonic fraternity and 'Miss John- stone, a missionary lady from Hongkong. It appears that some time ago Miss Johnstone wrote a letter that was considered offensive regarding the Rev. J. B. Ost," "who ́ls a member of the Craft, and in consequence was prohibited from ever again having the privilege of using the Masonic Hall for her bizaars. To get round this prohibition in the care of last night's bazaar, au | arrangement was made with another lady to take charge of and sell Miss Johnstone's things; bat the Masons, an discovering this, had the whole of the Hongkong Indy's exhibits turned out of the hall." Mrs, Glover camÒ to the rescue and had an exhibition and sale of Miss Johnstone's articles in her own house; 30 the people on Shameen were treated to two opposition bzzars. A storm in a teacup all this fooith squabbling, but it is far too common with our missionary friends and hardly redounds to their credit.

Building proceeds but slowly on the Freach concession, but it is said that renewed activity In this direction will be displayed early next year. Mr. Marty has just commenced the servants' quarters for the residence he intends building, and other lot-holders are said to have lately been arranging preliminaries to utilise their purchases. There is still a great lack of comfortable house accommodation on Shameen, and I am sure that inexpensively ballt five or six-roomed residences would return good interest on their cost, as rents are still exorbitantly high. There has been some talk of Fire Brigade bail at the Shamees Hotel about Christmas tike, but I have not heard whether auangements have yet been completed,

The weather continues all that could be desired.

THE PERSECUTION OE CHRIS-

TIANS IN SZECHUAN.

A correspondent writes to our Shanghal morning contemporary as follows :--

Your Chungking correspondent states in his letter of October 28th, that the local authorities bad just sent soldiers to Tatsion to arrest the ❘ murderers of the Christians who wera killed in the persecutious last year; but that, fearing a revolt, the troops had not ventured to arrest any one. In this connection the following Informa- tion as to what has been done to obtals justice. may be of interest A man named Chang Sun-slao, whose brother had been killed, and a womann who had lost ber husband, only son, and brother-in-law (their bodies were barnt when the church was set on fire) had appealed to all the tribunals of the province to obtala justice against the murderers. Having not even secured the arrest of the incri. minated persons, the poor people travelled sil the way to Peking, where they laid the case before the Board of Censors. That body sent them back to their own province, and instructed the Viceroy to arrest the accused at Tatsiou and love the sent to Chent, the provincial capital, for trial. The Viceroy accordingly sent a deputy, who had already arrested two of the a gased when the Teotal of Chungking ordered him to release them, under the petext that if they were kept in custody there would be danger of trouble in the district.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

November atit, 1891.

The present season, seems to have been peculiar in several respects. Several heavy ralus fell during the ninth moon, some of them accom- | panted with loud and continuous thander, a most unusual circumstance. In this particular district about a month ago, there was a sudden and violent rainfall which lasted for about two hours, filling up all the gaps in the loam soil, and making the roads almost impassable. Yet this downpour was but the thin edge of a knife, and balf a mile distant, north and south, there was practically no raie at all. No wonder the natives | said that the sixth moon had broken over into the aluth, The effect of so much Irrigation is to advance the prospects of the wheat, and to make the sifting out of peanuts much more difficult then common, being always a task that only people of a patience practically infinite would think of undertaking. A destructive bail- storm, toward the end of the fifth meos, ruined vast areas of cotton lands, which had to be replanted. The result was to make the cotton crop much later than usual, so that even in the last third of November there are persons to be seen in some of the neighbouring counties still gathering cotton pods, or cutting up the stalks. Another idiosyncracy of this year of Grace, is the absence of any frost-fally an evant which the almanac sets for the 24th of October. But so far as we have been able either to see or to hear, for a great distance hereabouts, there was no such thing as a frost at all, but on the night, of Nov. 15th a cold wind lowered the temperature, so that water frose, and the patient leaves, tired of waiting for the over-due congelation of dew, quietly curled up and died as well as they could

BONBONS and CRACKERS,

A few days ago, zwh the Sydney Bulletin, Peter Howe, M.P., and James Miller, both of the Intely gone bung Australian Mercantile. Loan and Guarantee Company, were daly sentenced by Judge Innes to seven years' gaol for undec fooling with the assets of that lost corporation. In the light of the evidence the sentence seems. to meet the case admirably ; and if sundry other directors, representing various companies that' are already burst, and various others that ought to be burst, should presently go the same road, the results will probably prove beneficial to the peblic at large. The average director docan't get lato gaol often enough. In a large number of cases he is an Indvidual with no qualifica. tion; he beglus by holding the smallest number of shares which will qualify him for a stat on the Board, and when be gets his sent, he sells, but does transfer them, and thereafter he draws hils fons under. false pretences, and plays with other people's money joyously, having none of bla own at stake. No director that we ever heard of has got into gaol for this, though" several hundred most assuredly ought to get there. Then he votes blasself bandsome over- drafts and loans on so visible security, and FRENCH, GERMAN and ENGLISH TOYS. | TOOLS for BOYS. this is as strictly wholesale, stealing as if he took his overdraft out of the "bank by means of a crowbar and a jemmy, Very few directors get into gaol for this either-In fact, at the present moment we can't recollect one. Also, he votes for the purchase of his own land by the company, and values the land himself, whereby it occasionally happens that a hunk of rock In the back-blocks, worth something like to on a liberal estimate, is passed off on the share. holders for 6500 or 1,000. It is very seldom indeed that a director gets locked up for this elther, but Messrs.
