A CHINESE AcrOR,s ROMANCE.

A life ban hangs over poor Chinese
actor named Yang Yeh-lin, who like the
peasant boy of Lyons loved above his
station, and married the daughter of a
Shanghai mandarin some years ago. Less
fortunate than Claude, he was subjected to
inhuman torture when the mesalliance was
discovered, and was set free only when at
the last extremity. week or two ago he
revisited the scene of his former sufferings
and advertised his willingness to accept an
engagement to perform at one of the
native theatres. This coming to the knowl'
1dge of the authorities, he was again seized
md thrown into prison. It is said that

cused for dropping on the Logan side be-
cause of the credit which Mrs. Logan
would reflect on her State as the wife Of
an Illinois Senator. We believe Illinois
can find better man to represent her in
the Senate than John A. Logan, though
we are not SO sure that his name appears
among the candidates, but we also be-
lieve better reasons can be found for the
defeat of Logan than the fact that he has
talented and handsome wife. The

.t.aE POa.pY IN THE OPIUM DIS
TRICTw.

? Experts tell us that of three varieties of
the poppy, the white, the red, and the pur-
pie, the former, though yielding the least
opium, is known to best suit the climate
and soil of Benares and Behar. The pur-
pie kind fiourishes luxuriantly in Malwa,
and is said to yield three times as much
morphia as the white. The morphia from
the red holds middle place between the
two others. Land can be taken anywhere
for this cultivation, but the neighborlood
Of a village is most preferred on account of
facilities for irrigation and manure. When
the soil is rich it can stand an extra crop Of
Indian corn or vegetables during the rams
Under any circumstance the ground must
be thoroughly worked and cleaned before
the end of October. The seed is sown
broadcast in November, and unless rains
fall in the winter irrigation must be re-
sorted to five or six times; thinning and
wedding GO on in December and January;
but the plant is liable to injury from un-
usual heat, cloudy skies, strong winds, de-
fiant moisture, or what in Behar may pass
for frost. Some time in February the plant
is three or four feet in height and in full
flower, and it then rejoices the cultivators
by capsules, which are about the size of a
ducks egg. Then comes the process of
collecting the leaves of the petals before
they fall, of piercing the capsules with
sharp iron weapon, from two to six times,
of collecting the exuding juice, of separat-
ing the drug itself from o dark unpleasant
fluid called pusse,ca, and of conveying it to
the local factory, whence it is forwarded to
the central agencies at Patna or Ghazipore.
Scrupulous care is taken to record the
weight and quality of each delivery, and
eventually to see that every cultivator is
properly paid. The return per beega-a
local measurement rather below our acre
has been estimated at from / rupee to 80
rupees. But without going deeply into
statistics which vary in each district, it may
safely be asserted that with the Behar peas.
