For the Upper River

The French launch has now left for the West, also under the pilotage of Captain Plant who returned to our port after having successfully navigated the Dry to Chungking.

A German " Tramp."

We have had a strange visitor in our midst—a German on tray: He is not like the usual globe-trotter, paying his way, but does not pay, and expects to travel to his journey's end on the good will of those whom meets. We hear he has not a good opinion of Ichang, as he was not well taken up uor much furthered for his westward journey. We don't see the use of encouraging a species of boggin; under the name of hospitality. He left Jast week for Chungking under the care of a native official.
