DRAGON FESTIVAL IN CANroN.-A cor
respondent in Canton, China, gives soma
account OF the great Dragon Festival cele-
braled every year in that city. 1t may be
interesting 10 such Of our readers as have
looked on the famous dragon lantern in
the CHINESE Museum of this city, without
comprehending its use. The letter is da>
led June lst, 1916:
''For three days last week the river about
Canton was in state of great connection,
caused by the yearly commemora,ion of the
| Dragon Festival. The incessam firing of
cannon and crackers forcibly reminded me
of the uproar Of one Of our fourth Of July
celebrations. The city was crowded with
country peop'e, and every body seemed to
be in extaeies OF delight. 1t was really
amusing TO walk out, just to see the c;owa
that would surround you, and such nose
of tongues, do not think was ever heard
out of China. The principal part of the
show was that Of the dragon boats. OF snake
boats, as they are called. These are up
wards Of an hund ed fee, long, surmoun
ted at either end by dragon's head or tail,
and painted to initiate snake body, and
the appearance is not dissimilar. These
boats are puddled by abont fifty men on
each side, banners and lanterns are dis
played in every par, OF the boat, and they
are furnished with n multiiude of drums
and gongs, upon which men are incessant-
ly pounding and making most fearful din.
Those boats are pulled with great deal of
speed up and down the river; and as near
as can understand, are supposed to be
chasing The dragon. Their course is "chin
chined" as they pass, by the discharge of
guns and crackers. To foreigner the
whole show seems like farce; but sup
pose there is a meaning in it all, which the
Chinese compr ehended

AN AMERICAN Observation-Disclosures, OF

led him 10 the market place, where their
king was sitting in judgment
a citizen Just then appeared before him
and said: 81 bought from this man,O king,
sack full of chafi, and found a'ge Il.
mount of treasure In it. The chaffis mine,
bu, no, the gold; and this man will rot
take il back again. Decide accordingly.

And his opponent, also citizen OF the
place, replied: ''Do you fear 10 keep what
is not your own, and should not fear the
like? sold you the sack and all that was
in it; keep what's your own. Decide for
him, O king"
The king asked the first whether he had
son. He answered, 'yes,' lie asked the
second whether he had u daughter, and Ie-
ceiyed ''yes" for an answer. "Well,"
sad the hihg, you are oolh upfi9ht men;
unite your children in marriage, and give
them the treasure for a marriage gift. This
is my decision
Alexander was as; onished when he heard
this Judgment.
"Have decided unjustly," enquired the
King Of the distant country, "that YOU are
astonishedW
SPY no means,' replied Alexander; 'blt
in my country The judgment would have
been different"
"And how?'' asked the African King.

have fallen to the King"
Then the King, striking bis hands to
geher, asked, ''And does the Sun shine
upon you? and does Heaven send its rain
upon you!"

"Then it must be-" he continued, ''for

A Doc STcRy.-We have published some
very remarkable stories at various times, but
really this anecdote told 10y the Camden
Mail is more remarkable than most dog
stories.
ian cd house dog, whose misfortune 4
had been~to outlive the sympathy OF his
frieads, was found to be quite a trouble ITO
the family to which he belonged. Ho was
often driven from his sunny haunt at the
front door step, by the broomslick of the
housewife, who felt him 20 be much in the
way of her accustomed tidiness. Having
put up with this indign,y, time and again,
10 the annoyance OF the good woman, no
less than TO his own discomfort, poor Tray
began 10 show evident signs of saddened
snrit and a broken heart. At last the mat
ION, finding that he still presumed TO take
his wanon place at the Front door, drove
him forth with angry looks, and the bitter
words that be swas worthless fellow, ana
had better drown himself at once.' The
poor old dog, like many another on:casts
knew not where 10 60. and appeared 10 UNI
dersiand aud feel, if dogs my fesl, the
bitterness of his lot. With his tail between
his legs, and his head bowed down 10 the
earth, he took his melancholy way to the
river side, where his subdued and disconso.
late demeanor attracted tie noi;ce OF ouf
informant, who watched his motions as he
proceeded to the edge Of the stream. Here
he seemed 10 hesitate before committing
the final act; casting one more look oil mel
ancholy and mute despair upon world hat
had for him no home, he proceeded deiIb-
rtely into the deep water and sought, as
il would seem, relief from pnmerIted IN,
kindness which Iadimadc life burthensome.

THE GREAT BRira.N The Great Britain
steamer had not been released from her
unfortunate position at Dcndrum Bay A
Mr.. Mclniosh, is said 10 have entered into
contact 10 float he'll off by novel plan
which is stated thus
There is TO be q ridge Of stones, in HI II
circle, placed alta shor, distance from the
stern Of the vessel, aid some hollow iron
shells, in like circle, charged with gun
powder, besides few smaller charges be-
ing placed along tie course to which the
ship is expected to be driven. Upon the
semi circular train being cred by the means
of the usual galvanic appliances, the wa
Ter at tho stern of the ship will be Fled
with such force as to loosen the sandy bed,
and INN edaiely set her aiioat, The con,in
.aance of the wave being accomplished by
The firing Of the sma Her charges, while The
lug steamers are towing in advance.
II is calculate that The waler will he
agitated TO gwen extent, not more ihaa
equal 10 the force already withstood by the
Great Britain when at sea, and that GER
tain number of casks depos ted in the en-
CINE room will give her sufficient huoyancy
The grand point must necessarily be 10
ensure such Il precise arrangement Of the
explosive materials rs 10 prevent any out
ward INJURY to the ship, and at the same
time 10 accomplish simultaneous action
of the ug-aleamers, should the suspicious
event come off, and The noble ship lie once
more ahoat.
1t is understood that the G;eat Britain
was only insured for Els, 900, TO cover a
mortgage. At meeting of the propri
etnrs before she left Liverpool, the ques'
ton Of insurance was brough, up by pro
prie.or, and it being stated that there was
some difficulty in inducing officers 10 write
upon her, an understanding was had ,ha
the chairman should notify the proprietors
if she sailed without any further insurance
being effected, that each m ght gel insu
rance for himself. They received Motif
cation, however, and some Of the propri-
etors conceive that they may hold the chair
man responsible for their loss.
