THE FLORAL CANTATA.
The Floral Cantata given by te gifs of the Union Church Sunday School entitled "The Coming of the Flowers" was a great success, Union Chorch being crowded last Tuesday evening with a large and fachlorabio audiencă. Both the body and gallery of the Church were crowded and even then some went away unable to obtain a sight of the entertainment. The Church was prettily decorated with large lger lilier, the effect being most pleaslog to the eye, for the background was filed with well selected palms. The children all përsonified flowers and fooked just as happy as children can look, as they sal round in semi-c'rold below the pulpit.

He goes on to say: New, I would point out a fact which, I would add, I am not the first to be struck by, that Kwel-in-foo can be reached from Canton in direct boats carrying up to foo plculs, while the goods rent from Hankow have to be carried over a large stretch of mountaloons country before they reach the Fo-ho. One glance at the man of Chi- whit, besides, show that the distance from Ha kow to Kwel-ling.foo is three or four times as 'great as the, distance from Cunton to the same place,
Respecting the export of native produce, Mr. Schroeter says:"I believe I can safely predict that the greater part of the trade in cassia, enovia bods and oil, Nan-uing-foo produce, vie ; gallants, ater aniseed and oil, cow hides and hers, bristles and feathers, paper, cases, galargal, and many drugs now exported only ola Shanghal; possibly also tea, besides tin and copper from Yan-nan, and a lot of other produce which has hitherto not been accesible, or, perhaps, even known to our markets, will concentrate at Wa-chow-too, when this place has been opened, and after the Transit Pass business has been given free scope."
Mr. Schroeter clases his interest'ng report with this pregnant sentence-“ To sum up beley, when Wu-chow-foo has, been opened to foreigners and the Transit Pass business han been developed, the trade of Canton will have Ilved to see a new era l'

In announcing the collection the Pastor (Rev. G. J. Willlim) remarked that he was sure that beth children and parents felt very proud of Union Church Sunday School that day. This was the first performance of the klad, and though no special tickels were issued the Church bad bern almost entirely filed both below and in the gallery. The Sunday School hoped in futuro by giving similar performances to make them selves self-supporting, Instead of being supported by the Church, and hoped on all such occasions the collection and audience would be equally a large.
The whole credit and success of the Cantata is due to the efforts of the Rev., and Mrs. Willams who is both organist and teacher of the 1st class girls in the School, and who has devoted a great deal of labour to the details of the Cantala; her labours in training the little mites who played the part of violets must have been very firing, but she must have felt well repaid when the audience demanded a recail. The Violets had a capital leader in Miss Polly Kasten. The collection, which seemed to be chiefly in small colos, amounted to about $50,"

It has already been pointed out that a con« siderable trade exists between Pak-bol and Wo- chou, but in spite of the obstacles presented by kin stations and slow boats painfully tracked up stream, "a lively trade already exists between Woo-cbow-foo and the Delts, and this affords proof of the vitality and importance of that port. "I am convinced," says Mr. Schuster. "that, if Woo-chow-foo be constituted a treaty -port, European steamers will monopolise the whole of the trade carried on in janks between that city and the various districts of the Canton Delta." "We need not be afraid of witnessing a similar state of things to that which happened at Pak-hot after that port had been opened to to foreigners In the trade to Pak-bol the Daly advantage steamers had over junke was in apted and safely of the goods carried.
