approached within 200 or 800 feet of the

surface of the water. AS the boat drew
nearer and nearer, the huge head was raised
six feet above the water and two glistening
eyes could be plainly seen. 1t then quickly

Sl,VoO. Rents are low, as the numbers
housed on given space of ground in
Cuiha are much more than in the United
states; our buildings for the masses are
not generally costly, and the taxes.
though almost wholly laid upon the land,
are not high
acre is no tax on personal property,
none on production, none on income, and
only DER cent. on land, We have one
species of tax in addition, however, that
IS not looked upon with favor by the best
Judgment of the country, and that will
PROBABLY be greatly modified, if not al
together abolished. That is the inter-
provincial tarlf on goods crossing the
boundaries of the provinces of their pro-
auction into other provinces. That tax
IS about one-half of per cent, and may,
II goods have to cross aud enter different
provinces, be imposed two or three times.
The system, which was created at the
time of the Tapping rebellion, about
thirty years ago, has been modified con-
slderably from time to time, and will
doubtless before long pass away alto
gether. Our tariff upon lmportations
from abroad is low, the highest imposi-
ZION being that upon opium, which
amounts TO ~ per cent. Such thing
as high tariff for the protection of
home industries we have as yet never re-
sorted to, but it is possible that ere long
our government may deem something Of
the sort advisable to protect our cotton
goods manufacturing industry thai is
now about starting. The duty on i'm.
portation of cotton goods is only 2 per
cent, and at that England has easily I'M
dersoid our Northumberland cotton
cloths. Now, machinery has been taken
to China from this country, and cotton
mills have been established in Shanghai.
To protect the infancy of that enterprise

pays all that he possibly can, though the
amount may he insufficient, the creditor
strikes his pen through the remainder of
