Ingchovfu, 12th August.
Since last writing many little things of local interest have pissed, supplying their due quota to the conversation of the district, and the opportunity for all the local non such professors to hold forth to their various followers in their usual oracular style.
Schools for Western Learning.
As to local schools for Western learning, they seem as far off as ever, though there was a great deal of talk a little while ago, which to the new-comer would suggest at east one high-class University and number-Jess science and higher schools, but at present the poss word seems to be Don't wurry." Tre Chifu tells mo that Cheng Uen-pain, Admini of the Yangtze, who so home is la this city, has promised is. 1,000 for the est blishment of the new schools, and that Ma Yii-kuen, the General at present operating in Chili who is also us tive of here, has promised Tis, 1509, and that at Inst some-one has gone to buy Tf books for the would-h" students, but so far he has not returned, and one wonders whether the mousy was given him or no.
