The Doctor is at Cham berlla's and bears with even equanimity the adverse fate which bas overtaken both him and his successor. It is regrettable that Col. Hoga did not reach Amoy, for, judging from the style of saake stories which the hard-headed and sleely-nerved here of many Clover Club dinners brought back from China Col. Roge was fitted to land the most paralysing and Intlcate com- binations of serpentine visions which have ever been jugged, and the snake lore of America newspaper literature is the loser thereby.
