January 20th, 1892. There is little news stirring. Occasional paper hunts, athletic sportą, skating, pantomime, and the usual round of dinner parties, have made eddies in the very quiet and even flow of time and we are beginning to look towards the re-opening of navigation. There is nothing new from the seat of war, beyond the report that several of the leaders of the rebellion have been captured, and are being brought to Tien sin for execution, and that the rising has been com- pletely put down.
