of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. It would be better sald "the true 'system of morality," far of morality there are no two perfect systems. The system we profess dates back to fat earlier ager than Solomon or Moses; and in all arc'ent writing, whether the Vedas or the Bible or the Shee-hing, we find that system veiled in allegory as with us, and illus trated, for its transmission, by symbols, the full beauty and meaning of which are only known to those who are learned in the Mystic Faith. As a Society in their present form the Masons are of modern date, but the essence of Masonry on the traditions of which their rituals and chattes, signs and symbols are in most part founded, we find existing in the earliest times to With us for centuries the secrets lost in part were transmitted by the Free Guilds of Masons who gave us a name, and the two orders of the Templars and the Rosicrucians now joined with us; in Chins they have in uninterrupted order heen handed down from dynasty in lynasty, the reigning Emperor, whether of naive birth, er Tarlar, being recognised as the Grand Master. By the learned in the mysteries the secrets have from age to age been orally handed down; by them each successive ruler has been initiated; and although the veil can be pierced by those that have the wit to do so, to the multitude the Secret has been kept inviolate is truly as with us.

NOTES FROM CHINESE PAPERS.
Major Wang, who on his return from studying the military art in Germany, assumed command of the first battalion of the Viceroy's troops at. Tlentsin, on 30th March took advantage of the presence of Admiral Ting of the Pei-yang iquadron, to invite him, and several Chinese and foreign civil and military officials to witness a review of the forces under his com- mand. They are now drilled in the German fashion, and include a battery of horse artillery and four mountain guns.
At a village near Ningpo there is a fishermen who fishes in the river to earn his rice, Hels fifty years old, and had a wife, but she had never borne him a child. Last month he was out in his boat casting his net, when he heard the voice of an infant crying among the rushes of the bank, and on drawing near to see, found a baby boy wrapped up in a sort of nest of rushes. He at once knew that a child had died, and that its soul had come back to the world of man again and was inhabiting this little body. He took it home, and his wife fed it with soup and rice. water, when it soon cessed crying; and the old couple took such a fancy for the foundling that they adopted him then and there as a son, giving him the name of Shih-lai, "the picked-up one,"
At Wu-chang Fu, the capital of Hupch, inside the Ping-hu Gate, at Tsung-wen-ts'ih certain cloth merchant lately died leaving his són married to a native banker's daughter. The cloth-merchant's business fell off very rapidly after his death, but the banker grew richer and richer; and so that his daughter and son-in-law might be properly started in life, he obtained for the latter a situation in another cloth-shop, deposited several hundreds of taels in the business, and arranged that unless he committed some gross mistake his situation should be a permanency. The mother of the young man, however, lost to all sense of gratitude to her benefactor, as soon as the young wife was brought to her new home, united with her own daughter in oppressing the poor young woman; and on the 23rd March, It is not known for what cause, they beat her cruelly with nailed Chinese boots and completed the horrible work by strangling her with ropes. The cruel sister-in-law of the victim was betrothed to a Chinese doctor's son at the Ping-hu gate, and when he heard an account of the murder be ordered his chair, although it was late at night, fetched her away, and had her precipitately married to his son the next morning. The next day the cruel mother in-law sent a message in the father of her victim, to say that his daughter had suddenly died. When this news was brought to the good banker, he set off accompanied by his wife for the new home into which they had sent their unfortunate daughter. He heard a talking, going on inside, and on entering suddenly saw the whole horrible reality before them,
For
a time, the parents, feeling so sad that they cared not if they lived or died, would listen to no words of palliation or segrel, but were all for informing the mandarins and having an inquest held; but on the relations. and friends dissuading him from this course, and proposing as a substitute a grand funeral, and penitential offerings to the spirit of the dead by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the banker being a man of liberal and magnanimous ideas, forced himself to consent to this arrangement, though with many a groan. But now, the
doctor's wife raised an objection her new daughter-in-law having to make such a confes sinn of her wrong. This was too much for the neighbours who were just going to a doctor's house to bind the young woman and bring her along, when the doctor, becoming alarmed, hastily sent her to assist at the propitiatory ceremony, in order to conciliate the public. When this was over, the banker and his wife returned home, with difficulty restraining their

The complete ignorance of the laws of hygiene which characterises almost all Chinese, and their apparent contempt for those laws even when apprehended, are well known to all foreigners who live in China. To a foreign bserver it is a standing problem, why the various diseases which this ignorance and defiance of natural laws invite, do not extermi-N nate the Chinese altogether. While numbers of people do die every year in China diseases which are cutirely preventible, the fact that the number of such persons is wo
the part of the indefnitely greater, argues Chinese a marvellous cap city to resist disease, and to recover from it. To the total absence of those vital statistics in which we have already so often regretfully referred, wer are obliged to depend upon the recorded observations of foreigners, which, owing to the constantly increasing number of foreign dis- pensaries and hospitals, are becoming year by year more numerous and more valuable. analyse and tabulate the medical reports issued even in a single year, with a view to illustrating the recuperative power of the Chinese, would be a most useful task, and the result would certainly present the object in a fresh and forcible manner. We must, however, be content with the meré statement of a few cases, by way of illustration. two of which occurred within the knowledge 6 1 the writer, while the third is taken from the published reports of a large hospital in Tientsin. The whole force of instances of this sort depends upon the undoubted fact, that they are by no means isolated and altogether exceptional cases, but are such as could be matched by the observation of very many of our readers.

Several years ago, while living in a house, with a Chinese family, the writer heard one afternoon the most dismal screams under the window, where was placed a large beehive, made of adobe bricks, and open at the bottom. A little boy fourteen months of age, was playing in the yard and seeing this open into what looked like convenient. play-house, had injudiciously crawled in. The child's head was shaved 470) perfectly bare, and was very red. The bees either resenting the unusual intrusion, or mis- taking the bald pale for a hue, peny, promptlyTHE Steamship lit upon the head, and began to stine. Before he could be removed, the child had received more than thirty stings. The child cried but a few moments, and then being laid on the kang went to sleep. No medicine of any sort being at hand, nothing ws applied to the skip. During the night the child was perfectly quiet, and the next day no trace of the swelling remed. In the year 1878, a carter in the employ of a foreign family i Peking, was taken with the prevalent typhus fever, of which so many died. On the thirteenth day when the disease reached a crisis, the patient, who had been very ill indeed, became exceedingly violent, exhibiting the strength of several men. Three persons were deputed to
watch him, all of whom were exhausted with their labours. During the night of this day, the patient was tied
