COREA.
Co-ea is hardly a desirable country to reside in, judging from the following which is clipped from the Jppan Mail:—"By all accounts the Japanese residents of Fusan are having aoyc'iifig but a pleasant time this New Year. The cold is reported to be so intense that no possible precautions can giinsay it, and as the people lie shivering in their wooden domiciles, the roariog cf the hungry tigers help to freeze their already torpid blood. Up to the present time the tigers have . contented themselves with inactive menace, so far as the Japanese are concerned, but the inhabitants of the neighboring Corean villages ire not equally feature, and from many of them terrible tales of the maneater's raids come to comfort the exiles. Native thieves, too, are apparently quite as nimble and daring in Corea as in Tokio but so far as the policeman—that much maligned product of national progress—has not yet betrayed his countrymen's confidence, so that the merchants of Fusan have not yet added burglary to their nightly discomforts.
