We have vety bad news about the bursting of the west bank of the Yellow River, below Tal- nanfan, on 21st February. It' is reported that thirty villages have been destroyed and that hardly say men or taints excaped with their lives. It de dreadful, but it is what the hard- heatled" "oficials „Üks They make a den! of money out of it Money will now be supplied by the Government and the charitable for those who have lost
property, although they are nearly all dead, which will find its way into the pockets of the mandreios. The poor people who have escaped will sto very little of it, unless they work at the repairing of the banks, for which they will get very poorly paid. Money will be supplied by the Govern ment or collected from the prople, two-thirds of which will alsɔ be grabbed by these rapacious officials. Truly Chloeso officlaldom is very roticn,

WHAT SEA-POWER DID FOR FRANCE IN 1871. It must not be forgotten that i France in 1871 was able to prolong her resistance, and sayo by this protracitiva of the straggio, if not her Kerritory, at least her honour, it was due to her liberty of action as hr as the sea was concerned. Communicating by ber coasts with the whole world, she found in the ocean an inexhaustible agurce of life.

The torpedo boats scattered in our paris af rafage in the Channel will constantly sally forth to make raids on the southern coast of England. From Calsis to the mouth of the Thames the distance is but Portland, and Torbay, from Roscof to Plymouth, thirty miles. From Cherbourg to Portsmouth,
and from Brest to the Lizard, is not over too miles. French torpedo boats can, therefore, with the greatest esse, reach the mouth of
the Thames and the coast from Dover to the
Scilly Islands by nightfall, craise there several out, and return to their poris under coraz ol darkness. Moreover, they will often be able to make the same excursions in daytime, when favoured by the logs, so frequent in these waters. From Brest our cruisers will lasue forth on the Allantic to the Jauction of the great maritime lines leading to the English and Irish Channels.

FORMOSA.
IVEN-HANDED JUTTICE. At a banquet in Tokio = fortnight ago, Mars quis Ito made some interesting remarks on the subject of Formoss. Referring to the grave responsibility Japan has assumed by the annexation of Formoss (says the Japan Times) he said the eyes of the world turned to her con- duct to that inland. Whether or not the de- | tlonil fag of the Rising Sun-will-for-ever-wave- high and proudly in the world is to be decided by her success or failure in the management of her southern colony. The Marquis referred with admiration to the eminently successful policy pursued by England in India. What that Power doing la India, Japan ought to imitate, though on very much smaller of Formosa br scale, in her governmen! abstaining, as far as possible, from interference with the native beliefs, customs and manners,

Is diversity of race absolutely incompatible with the Ides of a common nationality? He did not thick to. The dissimilarity of race, at all events In the present case, le no serious obstacle to the formation of a homogeneous nationality. He was therefore convinced that the native Formosans, even if allowed to preserve some of their racial peculiarities, will form an important integral part of the Japanese nationality,
