THE CITY OF t4ONGKONG.
1t Is One of the Most Unhealthy
Spots ON the Globe.

1t Is One of the Most Unhealthy
Spots on the Globe.
In spite of all the precautions that
have been taken, the perfect sanitation
Of the city, the fine natural drainage,
the cleanliness of the streets, Hong
kong is one Of the most unhealthful
spots on the globe. With it's tropical
heat the lofty peaks that half encircle
it catch the clouds that the rapid
evaporation create, and they are
squeezed like a sponge, the floods of
rain pouring down ip streaming tor
rents.
The houses lack light, although they
are built as we'll as they could be, with
perforated ceilings, through which the
air circulateS, admitted from openings
pierced by the outer walls. The floors
are brilliantly waxed. carpets, owing
to the great dampness, being dispens-
ed with. The great difficulty is to Sc
cure light and proper ventilation. The
streets are very narrow, and the tower
ing walls of buildings opposite OBJ
struct the light in front, while at the
rear the courts of terraces crowded
with foliage cast a heavy shade from
that direction. In the gardens, while
plants flourish luXuriantly there is no
grass, but the ground is green with
moss, just as it grows in damp. shady
places in cooler climates. The heat
and the great humidity are destructive
ito health, and it is doubtful if there is
a ssinrle normal liver in the whole of
Hongkong.
English women who come out with
compilations of cream and roses grow
thin and sallow The Hongkong com
pleXion is a startling grayish green,
and the old resident has with this pal
lor dark blush circles under the eyes.
The least exertion includes exhaust
ing perspiration, and people become
gaunt and thin.-Boston Transcript.

Oh TINES. OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE.

There are nc days like the good old days
The days when we were youthful;
When humankind were pure Of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'ern--
As buXom and smart and clean OF heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em.
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
piety all supportn;
They could bake and brew and had taught
school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin.
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together,
When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather,
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whippoorwill
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love-
The love that mother gave us.
We old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us.
So we dream and dream of the good old times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing CLEANS
OF heaven away off yonder.

Come, He Did Not Hesitate.
Badajos lies in Spain five miles from
the Portuguese frontier. 1t was the
key of a situation. Wellington's chance
was to strike at Badajos before the
French marshaIs could combine and
crush him. His task was both in front
Of him and behind him. He lacked
transport; he lacked food for the men;
the soldiers were eating cassava root
instead OF bread; the bullocks were
weak and emaciated. All this was the
doing of the parliament at home
But Wellington knew that the mo-
ment to strike Lad come, and he seems
to have hesitated very little Placing
no faith in the tongues Of the Portu-
guese, he made his plans with all pos
sible secrecy. The guns for the siege
were loaded on board the transport at
Lisbon and consigned to fictitious adj
dress. But in the river Sadhao they
were placed upon smaller vessels. and
finally they were again landed and
drawn by bullockS to Eloas, post in
the possession Of the allies Having
stationed two-thirds Of his force under
General Graham and General Hill to
prevent most probable interference
by Soult and Marmont. Wellington adj

March, 1872. He had made the most

ment at home. Wellington had been
carrying the preparation for the cam
paign upon his own shoulders. If he
was to win Badajos. he was to win it
with no help save that from gallant
and trustworthy subordinates. He was
i'll withal. Even his strangely steel
like nature had bent beneath the trou-

Millions OF Eggs Stored.

CHICAGO, September l0.-SiX hundred
thousand cases of eggs have been placed
in cold storage at the stock yards within
the last two weeks Each case contains
thirty dozen eggs, and each egg has been
carefully 'candlcd' before being put
away The firms storing them are
Swift & Co., and Armour Il Co.
Two years ago small fortunes were
made by handling cold storage or packed
eggs. This led several into the business
under the impression that it was a get
ting-rich. quick route. Then the prices
went skyward and when the contents of
the storage rooms were placed on the
market last winter losses were hcwailcd
on all sides. The spectators dropped
nearly $4,000 on eggs alone. This year
Swift and Armour have been active in
buying up the supply in the West, and
they have now in the "chill' room some
thing like 2lG,OOO,OOO eggs. The prices
paid range from q to +" cents a dozen,
and in few instances as high as II
cents.

The century memorial number of the
Lutheran Visitor, of August 30th, is on
our table. 1t is a handsome publication
of thrty-six pages, all devoted in setting
forth the claims Of the Theological Semi

pose is to raise at least $4,000 us a
twentieth century memorial seminary

claims upon all Lutherans.
In reading of the life and work of the

the following extract from the diary of
the late DR.. j. p. Smcltzer, of precious

pathetic entry, eloquent of the faithful
