POLITICAL HONORS IN CHINA.
The laws which govern the promotion of can didates for political hours to positions ofdwings. tion and national trust are in China based upon sound common sense, bearing evidence, by the manner in which her laws are administered, of being the very acme of human endeavor in this respeck
The condition of affairs generally, throughout this mighty empire speaks volumes in praise of her wonderfully wise lawgiver Kung Foo Taze, from whose philosophic mind were evolved the leading ideas embodied in the governmental laws of the empire.
Discretionary power is to an astonishingly great degree vested in the nation's honored sons, from the highest official dignitary to the petty magistrate who administers impartially the laws pertaining to the little community among whom he abides, appearing more like some, venerable parent dwelling amid his children, whom he loves too well to allow of their falling into the Ways of CTor unrebuked.
Very seldom, be it to their honor salt, are these powers abused, owing principally, no doubt, to the prevalence of good strong common-sense among the mastes, added to their confidence in being able to secure immediate redress from those higher in power, which tends to make them in a measure independent of their immediate su periors, and insures an outspoken manifestation of their opinions relative to the proper or impro- per adjudication of any point of law coming to their notice.

When Ti Yin was informed of this the lion within him was aroused. "Have I not borne bumiliation enough ?" cried he; and then, in a tone of command, and with great dignity of manner, he directed that the general in com- mand be immediately informed that he desired his presence. "Tell him," cried he, in piercing tones," that 1, Ti Vin, am here basely confined, and that I command him to appear before me and in person loose these fetters from my limbs."
