An interesting Letter From China.
Air, Win. Wellwood has anothe
letter from his daughter, who a awe
of writing the letter, was stili on ho
tedious river journey into the interim
of far-off China, whither she has gone
4ai a inissfonatry. .Miss \Vofwooci
writes on date of Jan. 23rd
It is two months since I read m..
last letter frons borne, at Victoria,. 13,
0., as no mail has overtaken us yet,
and we shall have to wait three weeks
more until we reach Chungking,
where we stay for a few days or
week, as it is the Chinese New Year,
and you can't do anything during
their holiday,
We Ieft Ichang the evening of 15th
.Ian. It was quite an exciting time,
as our four vessels with an extra
t
ca boat, r 4 o t, two lila boats manned U
g
Y
Chinamen with red jackets, and a
small boat attended each large one,
moved out from the city amid the
noise of fire -crackers, drums, and the
noise of the coolies employed to tow
us up the river. Imagine it, in a
small boat that ties np at our side at
night, sleep about 45 or 50 trackers (as
they call those that pall us up the
river). Their ropes aro fastened to
our boat, the other end reaches to the
shore, with 25 or 30 coolies pulling.
Sometimes they aro up quite a dis-
. tance on the side of the mountain,
"#.avelking along a little ledge of rock.
There is one man who has charge of
them to see that they do their work ;
we call him the "slave-driver." Be
carries a piece of cane rope, and if
they don't pull to suit hhn, they get
it over the back. Sometimes they
only wear the coat the Lard gave
them, and sometimes they put on one
of man's making, without any trous-
ers. Some places, we are between
high rocks, where there is no plaee
for the truckers, and then they come
on board and use large oars, two on
each side, and about six or eight pull
on each oat'. Then yon hear noise,
for they always make rakealnr
a d in
y r t sound as
they work, and once in a while a
shrill whistle which means they are
calling for wind.
In the middle of the deck there is a
hole where they have a stove with an
immense pot on top, where they boil
rice and vegetables for the coolies,
and when they all pilo in for meals,
they more than shovel in the rice with
their chopsticks, bolding their bowls
right up to their chins.
The scenery is gorgeous all along
here, and it is hard to do anything
but enjoy it, Every evening, when
we tie up for the night, we go on
shore for a walk, for exercise.
Last week, when I was cooking I
did not study much, bot this week am
having a lesson in Chinese every day,
and enjoy it very much, although it
seems like a tremendous taslc, and I
expect to have an aching brain many
times before can
tdo much a it.
f t
After we left Ichang, everything
went smoothly, with the exception of
one day, when we got into a sort of
whirlpool and turned completely
round, until we anchored at the foot
of a zooid ; they pronounced it very
bad indeed, and we 'found 22 boats
anchored before us, to go over one by
one. Suck a time as we had ; our
boats swayed backward and forward,
and there was not much sleep that
night. Some of the ladies were quite
sea -sick, but I managed to keep
steady. Such a time as Mrs. McAm-
mond and I had, trying to do cooking
to last us over Sunday, with the water
splashing out of the pots. Sunday
forenoon, we moved neater the foot of
the rapids. As we were eating dinner
to go on shore that our boats might
be pulled up the rapids, they crashed
against each other, and a hole was
broken in both sides rdes of 'our house
is
boat. However, it was high enough,
so that very little water came in, and
after we had piled all the dishes (that
would break) in our beds and fixed
things up so that. they would not fly
around too badly, we made for the
lir-rocks, and sat down to watch our
"all" pull over the rapids in safety,
One boat lost its rudder and had to
stay behind. I certainly was grate-
ful, when we tied up in a still, quiet
corner Sunday afternoon,_ and after
we had the holes patched up, we set- '
tied down to life again. We were to
have had service in the evening,but 3
everything was. in such a tumult, we
could not think of it, so several canis
r • to our boat and we baa a helpful ser-
vice of song and prayer, The rapid
r we had passed is called the Clxtntan,
r bub we named it "Tinpan," because
Mrs; McArmnotrd lost' a pan out of
the window, as she wits washing it.
It is very exciting to see the boats
y come down over tate rapids; one was
upset while we were there, with two
Chinamen in it. The life boat went
out and saved one; the other went
down with the stream.
a Yesterday we passed another rapid
that at times is very bad, but it scorn-
ed so man, they said we need not
leave the boat. As we were getting
supplies front under the floor, all at
once the boat swung to one side and
sent the organ stool and two chains
on topofMr.1
1cA s
.t m nova who
"down below." Our boy, 'Oosi, Was
on his knees doing a little washing,
when he received half a pail of sugar
on his head, with some cooked meat,
sweet potatoes and other things. He
got up as if Itis end had come, such a
sight and what a laugh we had, not-
wtthstanding we lost so much sugar.
They think we have passed the worst
rapid, and I hope so, but I have not
been nervous, and have every confi-
dence that all will be well. The
bachelors' boat was the one that made
tate biggest hole in the side of our
boat, and how they laughed over it,
for they said they were forcing an
entrance into Tibet.
Feb. 20d --As they tell us there will
be an opportunity to -night to mail
letters home from Wan Hsien, I must
finish this. They are trying to reach
this place to tie up for Sunday, conse-
quently we were disturbed before four
o'clock this morning by the noise of
trackers getting their ropes ready to
move ou, and by 4.30 we were on our
journey by the light of the moon.
Imagine how tired those men will be
when night comes, pulling our boat
up 'Yesterday, stream against the wind, all day.
Yest
e y, ive passed the third and
last of the big rapids. They tell us
the rest aro small. We thought we
should have to unpack our boat to go
over the Last, but one Iittle home went
over gallantly, The other boats took
the other side of the river and were
not so fortunate, and slapped against
the rocks, and holes were broken in
their sides, which had to be speedily
mended. We packed our breakable
things and left the boat at 0 a. in.;
conte back to it again at 12.30 noon,
in good shape for dinner. I spent a
day on the Robertson boat and had a
lively tiine with their little boys, as
we call them. Two of the boats got
behind, and when night came, my
home was nowhere in sight. Dr. Cox
brought axe home in one of the life-
saving boats. The noon was perfect,
and the tall rocks seemed to reach the
sky on each side of the river. The
current very was a e 3 swift and the six
men had hard work to row us.
On Monday evening, we had a
party ; it was Mr. Robertson's birth-
day, and their company made the
party. The program was furnished
by the bachelors, and was original.
Mr. Wallace wrote up a prophecy for
each of us twenty years hence. Of
coarse none of ns ended up in mission-
ary work. I have forgotten my des.
tiny, but among the photos hanging
in the Hall of Fame were Joliiffe,
Wellwood and Mortson.
I had almost forgotten to tell you of
my experience yesterday. When we
left the boat, we had to wait a while,
and I wandered on by myself, and sat
down to study Chinese. After a
while, a band of coolies came toward,
rite. I thought I would not raise my
eyes until they passed, but their
curiosity was not so easily satisfied.
I looked, to seethem h to surrounding me,
and after they had examined my cap,
my coat and book, and eyed are from
head to foot, they passed on. The
natives never seem to tire gazing at us
as we pass. The message goes from
lint to hut, and whole families appear
to see the sight. We only need to
stand about five minutes to have an
audience of 100 or more.
NOTE.—Miss Wellwood closes her
letter, saying that it is difficult to
write on the river boat, She is to
good health, and possibly by the time
this is in the hands of our readers,
the missionaries will have reached
their destination in the interior of
that thickly populated heathen land.

met Dr. and Mrs. Towler, who are

covery.
Patent Cattle Guard.
Air. Wm. Bolt of Wingham is of an
inventive turn of mind, and has per-
fected a device, that appears to be ex-
cellently adapted for tlhe paa'pose for
which it is intended, viz., a cattle
guard. It consists of three sections
of wire guard—one between the rails,
and two others, ono on the outer side
of each rail. As the train approaches
the crossing, it touches a combination
of leversh
t t causes es theivir''
e gnarls
to fall below the rails. As soon as the
last ear has passed the levers are re-
Ieased and the wire guards resume
their upright position, forming a fence
across the track. The contrivance is
ingenious, and a. patent has been ap-
plied for. Should a railway adopt it,
there should be a competency in ib
for Mr. Bolt. Many that have seen it,
declare that it is the best device they
have seen for the purpose.
Baseball Organized.
An enthusiastic meeting of Wing-
ham Baseball team was held on
Thursday evening. The books were
examined, showing a successful sea-
son last year, and a snialI balance on

Did Not Go High Enough.
Our esteemed friend of the Ford-
wich Record says that recently he
donned angelic wings and (in imagi-
nation) visited a celestial sphere. He
reports that he clid not see the Howick
Connell there; no, nor even the editor
of the Winghatn Advance. The Coun-
cil was shut out because, in their
judgment, it was not wise to give the
.township printing to any who ten-
dered for it. The editor of 1 his great
family journal was denied aulthittance
because he committed the unpardona-
ble sin of accepting the Howick print-
ing when it was offered him, in bis
own office, without tender. The im-
maculate editor of the Record was,
however, allowed to enter and gaze
on the ineffable glories of that celes-
tial sphere. The only reason that can
be assigned for this was that lie re-
ceived last year $70, for the work that
(with our better facilities) we can do
for $65. The inference is, Ibat this
extra $5 secured him admission, and
perhaps a reserved seat. Now, we
have our own version of this thing.
The reason our respected brother did
not see the Howick Council or the
editor of the Advance in those tipper
regions, is easily accounted for. He
did not go high enough up, but stayed
his aerial flight in the lower atntos-
pherio regions, and mingled among
the small fry chaps, Psha,w, he could
not expect to have his search reward-
ed there, Yet even in that inferior
place, he was not permitted to i e -
main, lint was condemned to return
to this sublunary sphere until better
fitted to soar to higher altitudes. The
next day he was found in his sanc-
tum, raving incoherently abort How -
ick Council—township printing --the
Wingham xnglam Advance. Finally, his ex-
citement subsided ; he took his eat.
torial pen in band, and penned a good
Advertisement for the AV Y

Washington press, and sent the ad-
vertisement throughout the township.
