HOW TO SAVE FIFTY

'Really, my dear, don't see IT,
The above reply made to my wife. who
had been endeavoring to show me. for the last
fifteen minutes how could save fifty dollars

The Burning Of CantOn--Eeeling
Of the other Chinese Cities to.
ward the Cantonese.

CANTON, Jan, i3-The only active move
ment that has been attempted was on yester-
day. The day before arrangements were made
Tor firing the whole Of the suburbs OF the city
on the north bank Of the river. Our orders
were to Are the suburbs from the west eoraer
Of the city wall, In direction westwards.
All the bullets saw were made Of iron, ve-
ry anshapely, and like what we would call
slugs. II was with difficulty We could prevent
the men from shooting every poor devil they
surprised 10 the houses, and had we not exer-
ted every attention, every one Of them would
have been murdered. This burning proceed
ing is very horrible, and wish we were dsne
with it. which, am happy to say. think is
the case st least Tor the present. The Admi-
raj had great forbearance in not attempting It
before, which he might easily, and perhaps,
justly, have done. The extent which has been
destroyed is line Of perhaps two miles along
the north bank Of the river, an! penetrating
inwards from 200 to 400 yards A consider
able part Of the city has also been burned BY
the firing from the fort, which is held by US.
The FIRE lasted about twenty four hours
The Admiral has written for about 5000 men
from India; we also expect 500 men from Sim
gapore. We have not yet heard what effect
these proceedings have had on the Chinese
garrison; the extraordinary thing is, that what
we do here does not in the least affect the 9TH
er ports Of China with which we trade. All
accounts show that they are quite indifferent
to this place, and rather glad than otherwise
that the Cantonese-wnom they hate--are
getting touched up. The so-called rebels are
quite close to uss and made ovsrtures to US, to
become our allies, but as the general impress-
ion 10 that they are only band Of thieves, we
have not entertained their advances, or listened
to them in any way. 1t is extraordinary that
TIE constant pressure does not make the Chr
nese Governor giveis asthese rebels are play
ing the devil with the whole nsighborhood-
