Some weeks ago, I sent the Mail an account of anisttack on the American Mo- Athodist Girls' School at Nguchung, near
Toscow, and promised to toil later what action was taken by the officials. But fow words are needed le tell that. The offi- dials have done nothing. The United States Consul reported the cano to the American Minister, and that gentleman pressed the Tsung-li Yamén, and the Yamtu promised to instruct the provincial officials, and they, in turn, promised to instruct the local tungistrite, and to report edhat there was no trouble at all, and the rioturs remained free, and free they romain to this day. The Magistrate has lately been removed, but, of course, not legruled," and there are no signs that his successor is any better. It is a miserable business from hegiuning to it, but what can be done to retnedy it? The Consul have no barking, and the Chiness Offeinls know it and do as they please.

It is small business for the French Government, however, to he a petty employer of labour in a Chiness areona!. Another thing also shows how the star of France is rising. It is reported that there is an agreement with the French that if the English School at the Arsenal is closed a French School will ha spened instead. But how childish it all is. The poople of Chim do not want French, and they will not have is. They wint tho language of commerce, the language in which the businuas of the world is moru and more being done. English they will have in apto of Tartar Generala or French Governments, and all eflets to change the current and turn it into Gallie channels are doomed to dieppointment, So may" it be.
