The IRISHMAN. utterances of Jacob, of his wives and ofeLaban, were certainly nos made continuously, as the lorni of the narrative would lead one unacquainted with Oriental ways to suppose. The words in the text, are merely the substance of the arguments on each side, spoken whenever the speaker could get a hearing. Before Jacob had got half through the second of the seven verses (36-4) assigned to his indignant speech, Laban had burst in with, the taunt of verse 43.

Hongkong, July 5th, 1888. [Our correspondent's letter doubtless has refer. ence to some remarks we made about Irish scamen in connection with the Childwall case, but as to the explanation he asks for we are not quite clear what it is he wishes to have explained whether he wants to know why Scotch sailors "are too fond of whiskey," why English sailors are prone to grumble about their provisions," or why irish sailors should be excused by all shipmasters who are fitting out for a long over-sea voyage. Assuming the last to be his objective point we will say, As far as time and space will permit un, that what we said on that head was the expies

SEAMEN'S WAGES,
Mr. Chas. T. Russell, United States Consul al Liverpool, has compiled most interesting tables showing the wages and cost of maintenance of merchant scamen of the chief maritime nations. They will be found elsewhere in this issue. The information thus collected is most valuable,

coming of it does at a time when facts about shipping are wanted and not simply bald state- ments with no evidence to support them. The tables will, we have no doubt, be welcomed by subsidy advocates as showing the value of their plan for helping merchant shipping. They will however, be able to extract that great comfort from them, which they may at first expect.
The tables show that vessels of the United
"tes pay more for wages and inaintenance of their "seamen than those of any other nation. This fact is generally known, and has been. put forward as one reason for the decline
of American shipping. Even after allowing for the rates of wages for all vessels being abou the same in neutral party, the American is accustomed to pay the most in the end, Norway. and Sweden, Russia, Germany and Denmark pay about the same rate for their men and average about 47 to 50 per cent. lower in wages comparison than do the United States. The between the latter country and England does not show so great a difference, it being in the case of seamen 32 per cent. in favor of England," Officis, cooks and stewards of vessels are invariably much better paid than those of other vessels. Cocks and stewards are parti cularly favored, showing that these most important individuals are more appreciated by Americans than by people who pretend to higher. Spain apparently comes next culinary skil to the United States in the wages of scamen and the smallness of her merchant marine will probably by many be attributed to this cause.
The cost of maintenance is against the United States also, but contrary to general opinión, not so winch as in the case of wages. Norway and Swetlen show the lowest, each man costing only think, excite surprise to find that Germany and between 22 and 24 cents per day. It will, we Austria pay as much for the maintenance of theit semen as does England, Italy, we are sorry to note, is not included in these tables. Her merchant marine has not held its own of late years, but it is generally believed that both de wages and maintenance her seamen cost less. than those of any other nation. If this is so, it has not enabled her to hold out against ther competition of more expensive, merchant services,
These tables are especially valuable for strange as it may serm--what they do not show? They do not show that the cheapest merchant service in cost of seamen is the most successful or leads in the carrying tride of the world. Norway and Sweden, or Russia, or Germany ought apparently to be the leading maritime nation, for they can buy vessels in the cheapest markets, and have the advantage of the cheapest grews. That Great Brit in, which pays much more than nay. of these nations for be seamen, does the most of the ocean carrying trade. This peculiarity in shipping economics is not singular, for when the United States was driving English shipping to the rear by successful competition, American seamen cost more for wages and inaintenance than English,. The difference in favor of the English. was not then greatly feared by America Ship- -owners,-arïlid-other causes than this is attributas
ble their lass of trade. Wages and maintenance are certainly most important factors in the ship. owning business, but it is evident from the bistory of the United States merchant marine and the success of England at present in the cariying trade that, the greater cost in these items of American vessels over those of other Pople is no bar to the United States ship-owners becoming again leaders on the ocean.-N. | Afaritime Register.

Occidental curses are sometimes not loud, but deep, but Chinese maledictions are nothing if not Jeul. An English oath is a winged bullet, Chinese abuse is a ball of filth. Much of this Statement, showing the rates of monthly wages paid to officers and seamen on vessels at the Captain C. Pohle, will leave for the above. abusive language regarded as a sort of spell or curse. A man who has Had the beads removed from his field of millet, stands at the entrance of the alley which leads to his dweiling, and pours volleys of abuse upon the unknown (though often not unsuspected) offender. This proceeding is regarded as having a double value, first as a means of notifying the public of his loss and of his consequent fury, thus freeing his mind; and second as a prophylactic, tending to secure him against the repetition of the offence. The Gulprit is (theoretically) in ambush, listening with something like awe to the frightful imprecations levelled at him. He cannol, of course, be sure that he not detected, which is often the case. Perhaps the loser knows perfectly well who it was who stole his goods bus contents himself with a public reviling, as a formal notice that the culprit is either known or suspected, and will do well,:o avoid the repetition of his act. If provoked too far, the thief will, if thus tacitly pro- claimed, retaliate. This is the Chinese theory of public reviling. They frankly admit that it not only does not stop theft, but that it has no necessary tendency to prevent its repetition, since, among a large population, the thief, or other offender, is by no means certain to know that he has been reviled. The practice
revling the street," is often indulged in by women, who mount the flat roof of the house, and shriek away for hours at a time,' or 'antil their voice fails. A respectable family would not allow such a performance if they could Pacific prevent it, but in Chinn as elsewhere, an enraged woman is a being difficult to restrain. Abuse Atlantic delivered in this way, on general principle, attracts little or nonttention, and one sometimes comes upon a man at the head of an alley, or woman on the roof, screeching themselves red in the face, with not a single auditor in sight

If the day is a hot one, the reviler bawls as long
as he (or she) has breath, then proceeds to refresh himself by a season of tanning, and afterwards return to the attack with renewed fury.
