ABSCONDING CHINAMEN.
They Klin Awuy from "lrelihre" wilb SlH.OtfO.
The readers of the Sau Francisco Ilorald (ays
that paper of the lkt instant) will recollect the
shrewd swindle perpetrated on the 5th of Feb
ruary last by two Chinamen, Hons Kee lind Aa
Tine;, who mulcted a lartfe number of Clay street
Train dealers and rout street liquor merchant
in about the mra of .KS,000, by makiuir exten
sive purchases of flour and liquor, and abscond
ing with their flour on tho China steamer. The
chief sufferers ainou' the flour merchant were:
(ieorge Kabcock & Co.. Sperrv Jc Co., George
W. Stewart Sc Co.. and Kinnev 'Brothers. They
emploved Vernon 8eauian, agent lor Oliiihaut iV:
Co.'s line of ve.-eU. to telegraph to that house,
in hone of seizing the Hour as it was lauded.
The despatch va. .sent to Liverpool: thence to
Point de italic, at the sontaern extremity 01
Ceylon, which is the tcrminii of telegraphic
eoi'umuulcntion: thence It was taken to Hong
Kong by steamer. Little hope was entertained
that either the flour or the thieves would be
overtaken: for it was feared that they would
land their ill-gotten booty before tlie'steamer
reached it liual destination; or else, antici
pating that the telegraph niiht be called into
requisition against them, would transfer it to
other hands and tlielimelveh escape in the crowd
at the landing. It i therefore pleasiug to note
that a d.patch was rcsterdav received by
Vernon Scamau from Hipliant V: Co., Hong
Kong, iiiioiiuing him that the llour was ceized
at tiie jilaee of lis destination. The slippery
Celestial, however, succeeded in sliding into a
crowd of their moon-eyed countrymen, and
made good their escape into the interior.

would bevery well but that it lacks the esseutial
quality of news, to wit, truth. The Secretary
authorizes a contradiction of its main
points, and says he never authorized such a
statement to be made. He has not yet deter
mined upon establishing a sinking fund, and
docs not intend to cancel tho bonds recently
purchased by sales of gold. On the contrary, he
intends to ue these bonds in payment of indebt
ncss. should the demands of the Treasury re
quire it. The whole story seems to have been
gotten up in the Interests of speculators,

A bit of Indian history, w hlch throws light
on the present state of rural life in Bengal,
comes from Seramporc, the well-known station
a few miles above Calcutta. Six wealthy zemin
dars were charged before Mr. Ryland, the ma
gistrate, with oppression towards a small land
owner nnd ryot in their village, named llalirau
diu Shaik. The rvot had a small piece of land
to sell in another village, and the chief zemindar
wished to buy it. But he spoke too late it was
already sold; nnd then the zemindar determined
to seize It without further parley. He and his
laborers went to the ryot's hut's, bound one of
his relatives to a tree outside as a caution to the
neighlKirs not to interfere, and at once proceeded
to carry off everything the poor man possessed.
The cattle were driven off, the brass pots und
other indispensable articles of the native kitchen
taken nwny. Some money and papers were also
stolen. All this was openly done, and two of the
zemindars were present on tho scene, while tha
others looked on from their houses hard by.
Mr. Ryland committed the defendants on "a
charge of dacoity, and they were brought to
trial. But the native police did all in their
power to suppress or mutilate the evidence, and
the jury acquitted the defendants, although the
judge summed up for a conviction. Mr. Ryland
said in his memorandum: "The ditliculty of
getting any independent evidence at all in such
a case can only be appreciated by those who
have experience of the terror exercised by an
unscrupulous landlord in the Mofussil, and upon
which, together with a corrnpt police, the of
fenders in this case doubtless trusted for im
punity." It is quite evident that the laws have
not vet put au end to that relentless tyranny of
the landlord over the tenant which was tho rule
in native life until the appearance in the country
of the English.
Says the PallMall Gazette: The later returns
of metropolitan pauperism have not fulfilled the
promise of diminution which the earlier ones
field out. It was not unreasonable to anticipate,
when at midwintar the numbers on the uuion
relief lists were considerably less than iu the
corresponding season of 1IS(18, that tho early
spring would furnish at least as satisfactory a
statement. But tho fact is unfortunately other
wise. Towards the middle of January the
claimants whose wants the London guardians
had to satisfy amounted to 14!(,b85, or nearly
tiO.OOO fewer paupers than in the same week of
18(18, nnd, although several of the subsequent
returns of the present year exhibited considera
ble decreases, the favorable comparison has
been slowly changing to an unfavorable one. A
table published lately shows that in the first
week of the present month the London unions
relieved 1500 more paupers than in tho first
week of April, 1808. There is something dis
heartening in this result. In spite of all the
efforts made bv emigration and otherwise to re
lieve London distress, in spite of better prospects
of trade than the winter of 1807-8 could show, It
would seem that a permanent 40 per cent, or so
has been added to metropolitan pauperism. If
not. how can these figures be explained for the
first w eek of April in the four consecutive years?
At that date in 18tiG the total number of Indoor
and outdoor paupers was 104,8113: ln 1807,
140.78!; in 18i8, 145,537; and lu 18C9, 147,08(5.
In January last year, as already 6tated, pauper
ism was much higher than at the commencement
of 18(i!; but 24,000 paupers went oft the lists by
the 1st of April, 18(8; in the same interval of the
present year the decrease has been less than
3000, in the third week of January the numbers
being 141I.885 as against 147,080 iu'April.
Ilcrr Wessely, inspector of domains, has
just published, by order of the Austrian Govern
ment, nu interesting pamphlet on "Austria s
forest treasures and exports of wood." It ap
pears from this pamphlet that there are at this
moment in Austria about 3.000,000 vochs
(3,000,000 acres) of virgin forest, containing
numberless trees. Near the sea some of the
wood has been cut, but in the Croatian nnd
Slavonian 'military frontier" the woods are still
very thick only a few miles from the coast. The
value of the wood, which has so long remained
unproductive, is estimated bv I err Wessely at
several hundred millions of florins. It may of
course be had very cheap. Wood for shipbuild
ing costs on an average 23 kreutzers (5d.) per
cubic foot; elm, 19 kreutzers (4d.); oak, 18
kreutzers (4,'..,d.); fir, 25 kreutzers (.(i'j'd.); pine,
2C kreutzers ((i.' id.). For a whole oak trunk the
price is often from 4 to (5 kreutzers (from Id. to
lJad.) llerr Wessely adds that the wood is in
excellent condition, and adapted for the most
delicate kinds of carpentry as well as for the
building of ships, houses, and machinery.
