THE DEAD "MARINE"
The following verses appear in a new perlot icsi called the Globe & Laural, written by Masines for Marleen. King William uxt in his banquet-ball,
With a goodly company, The merriest fester among them all,
And their leader in revelry.
Ho solsed a bottle and turned his head,
'Twas a long-remembered scene, "Go fetch me a bottle of wine," he said, "And remove this 'Dead Marine,”” An old man rose, and his face was wAD,
"Mid the laugh at King William's Jest, His hair was white, but his eyes still-shono
Like the medals upon his breast,
"I have travelled far bath by sea and land,
And in many a bloody war,
Bat that fasult I cannot understand,
Which you cast on my gallant corps," Up rose the King and towards him bent,
O'er the table that stood between. "It was with a purpose and fall intent, That I called it a "Dead Marine."*

"Mr. J. C. Quina, Collector of Internal Revenge at San Francisco, has prepared a table of statistics which many claim reveals the real causes of the present depression in the United States. Mr. Quina himself claims that the fancial crisis is directly cansed from the revalt of a drain by Chinese of two and a quarter millions of gold, without any return in the perchase of American emmodities. He estimates that $800,000 and have been either carried out er set to Chins during the last 30 years, to which depletion he asigns the vexed questions which are now agitating Congress and the people at large: 'The circalating_medium of the Inited States," he saya is about $1.300,000,000. During the 30 years mentioned China has abrorbed in wages paid to coolles and the difference between exports and losports the sum of 1960.cc0.000. How long, he asks, will it take for them to get all we have? The Custom Heuse records show that from 1860 to 1893 there was shipped from this country to China $134 000,0oo He Is confident that a mach Jerver suni was sent to Lauren by exchange an Landoa bucks, such exchanges belog very desirable in Cuina, But the larger, sum has gone to China with the Chinese who have returned.

They hange gold in America for Mexican dollars and ship them, to China, and we are com- pelled to send gold in Mexico to parchate the ailver for them.

Very little over two years since the World published retains show. ing the amount of money being carried away by one steamer, I view of which the statistics pree pare! by Mr Quinn may, 0`la avserted, be ac- cepted without mitation."

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT)
January 16th, 1894.
Of all the countries in the world in which to transact bu⚫iness, China will take the lead as the
most difficult place. This remark does not apply to the open ports where Chinese come in con- fact with foreigners, but to the interlor where one sees duplicity in iis quintessence, and where the common adage among buyers and sellers is, "If you do not chest you cannot mak a living.". The settling of business difficulties is so hard to perform that often by a comparatively small trouble man's whole business wil reloed. A mercbanthere recently had just such a bliter pill to swallow. On the East Gate street of this city, where most of the business is done, there was a man who had a silk and antin store, and his trade was good. One afternoon á roll of silke was missing from the counter and a laflor standing near by was suspected and his person searched, but no silk was found. In civilised countries this would have gone no further so far as the suspected party wAI concerned, but not so la China. This was the tallor's big opportunity and "face" must be preserved, and some returns must be gained if pouble beside. The silk man shook brth hands (d to Chinese) at the tailor and apologised, hut this was not enough and the taltor, af er some ineffectual attempts to get a more sub. stantial apology, left and woread his grievance among his friends and fraternity, the latter taking it up at once. Instead of one tailor to deal with, now the poor silk man bed several, four of whom made themselves at home in his store

There is a further analogy in the fact that both backs were resurrected from unfortunate predecessors, and it is open to question whether the poet's words can ever really and properly be adapted to such fastitations-that banks may risa on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher

How was this remarkable fund formed? By adding £63,000 to the value of the premises acquired from the quidators of the old Oriental, and £33,129 to the value of the furniture, by counting twice over a sum of £37,000 paid to the liquidator of the old concert, on account. This brought up the "Rest" by soma £96,000, and the arrangement was so satisfactory to those who devised it that they straightway created another 653.333 by writing up at pir the shares in the Orlectal Bask Estates Company, pa which only 10%, per share was paid. premium, but it was awkward that they forgot to It was clever thus to invent so handsome a
