CHINESE SISTERHOOD OF SUICIDES.  The RUA Pao of April 26th says :—There is prevailing custom in idiotriet calledithaing-teh, in Canton province, among female society, to form different kinds of sisterhoods, ouch as "All pure" Bisterhoode, "Never-to-be-married" Sisterhood, kc. Rath sisterhood consists of about ten young maidene who MOOS TOWS to Heaven never to get married, as they regard marriage as something horrid, believing that their married lives would be miserable and unholfrand their parents fail to prevail upon them to yield. A sad ease has just happened. A band of young maidens ended their existence in this world by drowsing in; the Dragon River, because one of them was forced by her parents to be married. She was engaged in her childhood before she joined this sisterhood. When her parents had made all the necteassry tafire=toutBtheorotteerr marriage, bers of her rarirhood, who at owe agreed to die for her cause if she remained constant to her sworn vows to be single and virtuous. Should she violate the laws of her sisterhood and yield to her parents, her life was to be made most unpleasant by the other members, and she would be taunted as a worthless being. She consulted with them as to the beet mode of escaping this marriage, and they all agreed to die with her if elm could plan to run away from her parents on the night of the marriage. As there were many friends to watch her movements, it was almost impoesible for her to escape; so she attempted her life by swallowing a gold ring, bitittaaz serious consequenoo that might have was prevented by the administration of a powerful emetic. By bribing the female servants she wee taken one night to her sisters under the cover of darkness. The sisters at once joined with her to terminate their lives by jumping into the Dragon River, with tta mitt (aureate, which rapidly carried them off. This kind of tragedy is not unoomuton in this part of he land.
