On Monday at 8:30 we left, and reached Hong Kong at 11. a. m. On the 22d Mr. .Harlan told me there was to be a public flogging of two Chinese. I have often seen the backs of persons in the United States with marks of the lash, but this ik tle frs time I ever had a chance to dee the cat-'o nine tails applied. ' The whipping 1)ost there is in the street at the base of a smuall triangular s pace, made by three streets, and immediately in front of the Harbor Master's oflice. A slab of granite rises .about ten feet above a stone platforim, and leaninig against it is a wooden senl'Id. Ileto the men arofastened by a belt around their bodies and their arms extend ed at full length above themu and hold secure by a slip loose aroluinl the wrists. Each inuii received twenty-ll ve las]es, and up to the eighteenth thiy wi itied, but after that. drooped, and I I hemughit the first one held f.iiatI, Ibttt as the second aeloth in the s:a1m1 mttnnler T came to the - coileiiin that tihe strain uiipotn the nerves had reached its climax aund that neither felt the lash. '1ho backs, however, were a fearful sight. These fellows are to receive seventy-five lashes, twenty five each, at three different times, for violence and robboi-y and pull ing ear-rings out of China girls' cars. Aubstitutes for Coffe. To show how different men's minds naturally run in diffe rent channels on slight suggestions, we will repeat an amusing conversation we once hoard between an Episcopal preacher and a bon vimant On the occasion spoken of the Rev. Dr. was the guest of a wealthy planter who had an elegant residence about two and a half miles south of South Florence, and who was notori ously hospitable in that hospitable section of people. Hoe alwanys kept the best of wines and liqIuors in his cellar, and never failed to say "here goes it." It was in the early part of the great war , when the scarec ity of 9ee adtthe people to tryingY.V osustittes. Rev. D.-(stirring his coffee,) "I see, Mr. J., people are now drinking ia good deal of rye." Mr. J.-"Yes, sir, ryo is very good. I nmch prefer it to corn." Rev. D.--"Neither do I liko tihe flavor of oorn. I've tried .that. Mr. J.-"Corn does very we'll if it is old." Rev. D.-"Ah ! does that make a difference 1" Mr. J.-"Why yes; indeed, it is mlot lit to drink under three years old. I have taken quite a fancy of :late for .apple," R~ev. D.--"Apple? Why I never heard that it wvas made from apple, but I ami told that the p)otato makes a rich and palatable drink." Mr. J.--"And I never heard of that. It must be Irish. -I think 1 must try some. But after rll there -is nothing like good peach Aweeten <ed with a little honey." Rev. fa-With honey? Why, that is. riemaurkablo. While I am ,with yalii,'if it is not too much trou~. ie to .have it1prepared, I would lke sto taste it." Mi:. Jiu'Ol.Qh -no trou ble .at all.

The -de&netoi - vyro brought, when it was disovyeredl that eaich party had his mouth set for an ens tirely different beverage, but mu tual understanding was reached, and Mr. J. tried the peach, wvhile the parson stuck to the Brazilian berry.

It has been named "Plhytolacca Electrica." It is said to possess ve'ry )ro noun1cedl electro-magnetic proper ties. The hand is sensibly benuimb od upon touching the shrub, and the magnetic influenco is felt at a dis tango of seven or eight feet. The magnetic needle is sensibly portur bate(, becoming more and more so until it reaches the centre of the shrub, when the disturbanco is transformed into a very rapi d gyra tory movement. The intensity of the p1heflnmenon varies with the hours of the day, and at night it is hardly perceptible. It attains its maxinum about 2, p. in. in stormy weather the energy of the action is augmentol. ' No insects or birds have been sen on the shrub.
