ever may have been trae of the palmy days of the Chou dynasty, and of those which preceded it, there can be no doubt that very little praying in done in the present day, either by husband men, or any other private individuals, for rain which is to be applied first' on the public fields.' The Chinese Government, as we are often reminded, is patriarchal in its nature, and demands filial obedience from its subjects. A plantation negro who had heard thesaying * Every man for himself, and God for us all, failed to reproduce the precise shade of its thought, in his own modified version as follows, 'Every man for himself, and God for himself)) This new form of an old adage, contains in a nutshell the substance of the views of the average Chinese, with regard of the powers that be. I, for my part, an obliged to look out for myself,' he seems to think, if indeed he bestows any thought what ever on the government at all, and the govern ment is old enough and strong enough to take care of itself without any help of mine. The government, on the other hand, although pat- riarchal, in much more occupied in looking after the patriarch, than in caring for the patriarch's family. Generally speaking, it will do
very little to which it is not impelled by the danger, if it does nothing at first, of having to do all the more at a later date. The people recognize distinctly that the prospective loss of taxes is the motive force in governmental efforts to mitigate disasters such as the continual outbreaks of irre- pressible rivers. What the people do for them- selves in endeavouring to prevent calamities of this sort, is due to the instinct of self-preserva- tion, for the people thus make sure that the work is done, and also escape the numberless exactions which are sure to be the invariable concomitants of government energy, locally ..applied.
"No more typical example could be selected of the neglect of public affairs by the government, the absence of public spirit among the people, than the conditions of Chinese roads. There are abundant evidences in various parts of the Į empire, that there once existed great imperial highways connecting many of the most important cities, that these highways were paved with stone and bordered with trees. The ruins of such roads are found not only in the neighbourhood of

thereof, to keep the important arteries of travel passable at almost all seasons, but it is doubtful whether this idea ever entered the mind of any Chinese official. Not only do the Chinese feel no interest in that which belongs to the 'public,' but all such property, if unprotected and avail- able, is a mark for theft Paving stones are carried off for private use, and square' rods of the brick facing to city walls, gradually disappear,
wall enclosing a foreign cemetery in one of the ports of China was carried away till not a brick remained, as soon as it was discovered that The place was in charge of no one in particular. It is net many years since an extraordinary sensation was caused in the imperial palace in Peking by the discovery that extensive robberies had been committed on the copper roofs of some of the buildings within the forbidden city. It is a common observation among the Chinese, that within the Eighteen Provinces, there is no one so imposed upon and cheated, as the Emperor. The question is often raised whether the Chinese have any patriotism, and it is not a question which can be answered in a ward. There is undoubtedly a strong national feeling, especially among the literary classes, and to this feeling much of the hostility exhibiled to foreigners and their inventions is to be traced. But that any considerable body of Chinese are actuated by a desire to serve their country, because it is their country, aside from the prospect of emolument, is a proposition which will require much more proof than has yet been offered to secure its acceptance by any one who knows the Chinese. It need not be remarked that a Chinese might be patriotic, without taking much interest in the fortunes of a Tartar dynasty like the present, but there is the best reason to think that whatever the dynasty might happen to be, the feeling of the mass of the nation 'would be the same as it is now : a feeling of profound indifference. The key-note to this view of public affairs was sounded by Confucius himself, in a pregnant sentence, found in the "Analects;
"The Master said: He who is not in an office has no con- cern with plans for the administration of its duties." To our thought these significant words are partly the result and to a very great degree the cause of the constitutional unwillingness of the Chinese to interest themselves in matters for

But the greater ning to provoke us, when one of these worthy part of the roads do not belong to the Emperor, Chinese, getting up from his seat, came in any other sense than that in which the farms and laid his two hands on our shoulder in
of the peasants belong to him, for these roads
are merely narrow strips of farms devoted
to the use of those who wish to use them, not with the consent of the 'owner of the land, for that was never asked, but from the force of necessity. The entire road belongs to some farm, and pays taxes like any other land, albeit the owner derives no more advantage from its use than does any one else. Under these circumstarices, it is evidently the interest of the farmer to restrict the roads as much as he can, which he does by extended system of ditches and banks designed to make it difficult for any one to traverse any other than the narrow strip of land which is indispensable for communication. If the beavy summer rains wash away a part of the farm into the road, the farmer goes to the road and digs his land out again, a process which combined with natural drainage and the inces
dust-storms, results eventually in making sandad anal. Of what we mean by 'right of way' no Chinese has the smallest conception. Travellers on the Peiho river, between Tientsin and Peking, have sometimes noticed in the river little flags, and upon inquiry have ascertained that they indicated the spots where torpedoes had been planted, and that passing boats were expected to avoid them i A detachment of Chinese troops engaged in artillery practice, hus been known to train their cannon directly across one of the leading highways of the empire, to the great interruption of trafic and to the terror of the animals attached to carts, the result being a serious runaway, accident,

That is very conformable to reason,' cried the rest of the company, and, thereupon they pointed out to us that our tea was getting cold and our pipes were out" When it is remembered that in the attack on Peking, in 1860, the British army was furnished with mules bought of the Chinese in the province of Shantung; that Tientsin and Tungchow made capitulations on their own ac count, agreeing to provide the British and French with whatever was wanted, if these cities were not disturbed; that most indispensable coolie work was done for the foreign allies by Chinese subjects hired for the purpose in Hongkong, and that when these same coolics were captured by the Chinese army they were sent back to the British ranks with their cues cut off, it is not difficult to perceive that patriotism and public spirit, if such things exist at all in China, do not. mean what there words imply to Anglo-Saxons. That was a typical Chinese, who being in com- mand of a Chinese war junk in the war of 1842, hoarded one of the British gunboats before hos tilities began, and asked to see the captain. On meeting that officer, the Chinese commander proceeded to remark that he himself was a good flen' of the British captain, and he had no doubt that the latter was also a good filen' to him; under these circumstances, bis proposition was, that since it is evidently undesirable that one *good flen' should injure another 'good flem,' when the impending attack began, each captain ST. JOHN should have his guns loaded with fire physic' only, and no balls. This, he said, would make pleaty noise, plenty smoke,' and the incidental advantages would be obvious and metual
