SOUTH FORMOSA.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDINT) (With a view of discovering the actual state of hits in South Formosa we have caused erquires to be made, and our readers will find she following a reliable summary of the present condition of matters in that part of the Island,)
With reference to the enquiry as to the real "state of focal politics here it will faciate luation and perhaps be, at the sathe time, the shortest way of imparting the information desired, 36, staiting from the beginnnig, an' outline is given of those changes which have led to what can only be looked on as the com- merial, decadence of South Forminga. It is annecessary to do inore than aliede to the steady and prosperous progress which this island made, from about 1868, to 1883, or 1824.
During that period, it seemed to lease the Chin se to lock on furmosa as a sort of experi- mental field, where foreigners might be treated as though they were really friends, and not intruders to whom treaty concessions were to be grudgingly doled forth. When questions arose between the foreign officntis and native author. ties the treaty was, not so much referred to as a guide for adjustment as the fact-whether what was asked for, on either side, sesined reasonable and feasible. The utmost cordiality, and even intimacy, at-last-in-South-Fawasa, prevailed- between foreign residents generally, and the oficial. Taxes and regulations were, ofcourse, imposed, but these were strictly based on what rising trade. Thus, while the taxes were made night seen conducive to the cucouragement of a as light as possible, the regulations were expanded, or relaxed whenever necessity suggested. Telegraphs, and other foreign improvements, peremptorily tabooed on the mainland, met with favourable reception here. Even the Woosung railway, when transferred to Taiwan Fu, would, but for financial difficulties, have been taken up here. At any rate, no prejudice was shown, each The master then turned to Tsing and said-ruler, in succession seeming cheerfully to adopt And You, Tien ?—Tien, who was playing on his the cordiality and good fellowship of his pre- guitar, said—My wishes are different from those decessor. of my fellow disciples.
Yenyu said-IfI was given charge of a country of only 'some 60 or 70 li square or any of so or When Yen-yuan died Confucius gave way to the people, but I should have to Inok for

but for whom should I mourn if I did not mourn now as I do ?'
"If he could bear on great a grief uomoyed, all lesser losses were not worthy of a thought.”
Section X.
When Yen-yuan died Confucius, objected to the disciples giving him a grand fañeral, but they doing so, he said-Hul looked on me as a father, but I have not dealt with him as with my son it is my disciples' fault, not mine.
"Confucius did not think true love was shown by disregard of fitness,"
Section XI.
Chilu asking him what duty was due to the -dead, he said-Until-you-know-your-duty to the living you cannot do your duly to the dead. Chilu then questioning him about death, he answered-Until you understand life you can- not take in death.
"The present should be our care; do your duty in life, and all must needs be well in the bereafter."
Section XII.

'One day, surrounded by his disciples, the prim and gentle Min, the bold and manly Trělu, and Yenyu and Tačkung, types of frankness, the sage, amid his satisfaction, let drop the words Tēlu will not die the death he should.

"The original lodges were square; Confucius probably did not know why the form of the pre- sent tracing-board is preferable, and be hated change without good reason."

Section XIV

Confucius saying What business has T-Ju's harp at my door? the disciples began to hold him cheap, on which he said-Though he, has not entered the inner apartments Is already in the hall.
"Tre-lu was going ahead a little top fast, and all Confucius meant was to run him "in, ngt to disparage his ability and future promise!
Section XV.
Tze-kung asking" which of the two, Sze or Shang, was the better, Confucius said-Ste roes too far, but Shang not far epouch. Then sald Tze-You mean Szé is the better man. No said the sage, to go too far is just as bad as to fall short:

At this juncture the foreigners offered to give bonds for the payment of fekin on all cargo Z ET LAN Ü shipped by them, these to be redeemed after wards, if it was decided at Peking that lekin could be levied in treaty ports. This question, along with the sugar one, was at once forwarded to the Northern bourne, and up to date remains unsettled. The authorities have made several attempts of late lo recover on the bonds, assert ing boldly that the questio has been decided in their favour at the northern" capital." No! communication of any kind, nor as far as we know, even notice of the receipt of the complaints having reached this, of course, the claims are still unmet.
