of the river,
At Lan-yistung, near the entrance of Ichang Gorge, some curious effects of the flood are to be seen. Here, there and everywhere are a series of eddying circles-whirl-pools in fact-whose vortices are in many instances more than six fect beneath the encircling currents, Many of them seethe and froth like huge boilding cauldrons and cast up various coloured earths, amongst which a dull red predominates, traceable to the red river below Chunking. Navigation is precar lous work amongst these miniature maelstroms and boat-men take good care to give them a wide beth, well-knowing that-if-their-frail-craft-should come within-only their outer circles they would- soon be drawn with terrible force into the yawning vortex from which escape would be impossible. Judging from the force with which water issues,
from the gorge, the current must run at the rate of at least 9 knots an hour. The steamship Kiangtung, when sighted in Tiger's Teeth Gorges, was making very slow progress and tacking from side to side, to avoid the stream as much as possible.
The condition of the river is exciting grave fears, and questions are anxiously asked as to its probable decline, but few are sanguine enough to anticipate a speedy change, much as they may hope for it. Scores of families are hiring boats as temporary homes. From the 11th to "the ̄gth ̄instant the river fall to feet, and there" was a great rush of water to join the waters from the Tung-ting and Poyang Lakes, which will no doubt give the lower river its benefit.

that that convention was a sad mistake, and that it was lucky; both for France and China, that it was not ratified; because to divide Tongking and Annam, between France and China would have been anjust to that nation, and might have given rise te intentions as China may have had the same intentions as: regards Korea. This may account for Korea's present attitude to China. It would have divided trade, which is bad enough, instead of ex panding it, which is the object of France; and of China, through the medium of the China Merchants' S. N. Co. The worst feature of all would have been the neutral zone, with the results thereof: namely, the part proposed by Mr. Bourde, which was inhabited by the Hill tribes; one-tenth of Tongking, and which contains the mines, to be allowed to be worked by the French,
who were to be free to trade with Yunnan.
These tribes as described by Mr. Colquhoun, are hardy and resolute; and if France received nine-tenths of Tongking, both China and Annam would be compelled to expel the Black Flags, and where could, they or would they go to, but to the neutral zene; so that the neutral zone, instead of bringing peace and facilities for trade by the Songkoi into Yunnan

CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ON THE
RIGHT OF REVOLUTION.
In the year 18yg, Pope Lxo wrote an encyclical" in which he called the attention of all Catholics the English included-to the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. The following is a quotation from the letter of the Holy Father-
"Domestic and civil society would subsist much more securely and peacefully if the doctrines inculcated in schools were ́sounder, more accordant with the authoritative teaching of the Church, such as the works of St. Thomas contain. For the opinions therein, set forth, re- specting the true nature of liberty, the divine origin of every form of authority, respecting laws and their binding force, and the just and paternal dominion of sovereigns, have very great power. for the overthrowing of those novel principles of legislation, which are so destructive of peace and happiness."
We quote from a textbook on Ethics published in 1878 at Baltimore, edited by Rev. Walter Hill, S. J. St. Thomas declares that:-
Law is an ordinance of reason, for the com- mon good, and promulgated by him who has the care of the community,"
Again
It is of the essence of human law that it be ordained for the common or general good of the nation."
He asserts also what Irish landlords deny, namely, that
The good of the whole nation is something far better than the good of one man."
St. Thomas Jikewise inform us who should decide what is for the public good, as against
the private interest of individual monopolfite, in
the following words —
"To ordain anything for the common good belongs either to the whole multitude or to some one acting in place of the whole multitude; and, therefore, to enact law either pertains to the whole multitude, or to some public person that has care of the whole multitude."
The Angelic Doctor, as St. Thomas is called, could find no arguments in support of tyrants, He says:-
