A telegram from_Kwangtung says the Peking Daily News, atates that "singoing and Fengshan were both captured by the Southern troops after a slight resistance. Innumerable Kwangui froops bare now arrived in the vicinity of Chacohow, and an attack will commence soon."

Beferring to cricket, be asked who was there among them who did not remem ber the elation felt at making s brilliant estch which disposed of a dangerous bateman; who did not feel proud of a smart piece of fielding which saved a boundary when runs were precious; who did not remember the trepidation with which he encountered his firat over in a match for fear that be might earn the unenviable
