The son (or nephew) of Mencius was fully equal to the occasion, and sent word to the king, that | although Mencius had been ill the day before, he was now so much better, that he had already gens to court, although it was not certain whether he had reached there by that time. Having sent this message, the nephew of Mencius at once sent men in all directions to meet Mencius, urging him to go at once to court, in order to make good the words of the nephew. Mencius, however, would do nothing of the kind, but went to the house of an officer of the king, and there spent the night, with the 'expresa intention that the king should understand clearly that the sickness was merely a feigned one. This plan would have been frustrated by the lie of the nephew, if Mencius had followed his advice and gone from his visit of condolence to the court.

A lieutenant commanding one of the Military police boats at Shan-ching committed suicide by means of a dose of boiled opium on Sunday The story goes that the man was in the habit of tempting Providence with the monies entrusted to his care for the payment of the soldiers under him. Fortune generally smiled on him, and whenever it did frown on him, the deficit was usually a small one, which could easily be tided over by applying to the various pawn-broking establishments of Shao-ch'ing And this went on for a considerable period, until at last. Providence was tempted too far and the inevitable result happened. It seems that being unusually fortunate at the gambling table last Friday, the lieutenant was enabled to redeem all the articles he had put in pawn, and the surplus was more than sufficient to satisfy the legitimate demands of his men "But much begeis the want for more," and so on the next day he went again to his favorite haunts and--hori. Losing first one sum, he staked another and so on until at last not only had the lieutenant lost all that should have gone to pay his men's monthly wages, but the things that had been redeemed the day before were pawned again and always with the same result. The unfortunate man did not return to his boat, but, buying some opium, poisoned himself in the gambling den, the scene of his ruin.
ONE of the successful graduates in the recent Military Examination at Canton informed, curi reporter this morning that the successful candidates assembled at eight o'clock on Monday morning at the Chief Examiner's Yarado, to go through the usual ceremony of being “crowned with gil flowers."--this being the token of success inboth the Literary and Military Examinations--- after which ceremony they stood in rows and paid obeisances towards the North East (the dire tien of Peking) to thank the Throne for the bonors conferre."
This ceremony concluded: the gradantes were feasted by the Chief Examiner, and the day was ended by the whole party going to the temple of the gods of Learning and War (the Chinese Minerva and Mars, only that in this case thie, former is a man and not a wamin) to thank their patron saint for his generosity.in awarding them their diplomas,

Later on, the same day, the promoters of these ceremonies, in company with others, entered the temporary residence of Jess" and, with willow leaves covering their heads, bowed down before the altar. This," say our Canton contemporary, "was at noon when the sun was at its hottest. But two hours later the clouds itself beard, and a north wind came down in gusts. In a short, time the much needed main fell and kept on for twenty four hours steadily." In the surrounding districts the rain fell in variable quantities, but in the city and environs the main drops came down about the size of pearls."
There is no doubt that the ancient Chinese were far in advance of their contemporaries in many other lands in the instinct of preserving records of the past. Their histories, however prolix, are undoubtedly comprehensive. Many western writers seem to feel the greatest admira- tion for Chinese histories, and place unrestricted confidence in their statements. The following paragraph is taken from an essay by Dr. J. Singer, lector of the University of Vienna, translated and published in the China Review. (July 1888)-Scientific criticism bas long ago recognised and in ever increasing extent proved the historical reliability of the ancient documents, and most thorough going explorer, of China, of China.. Richthofen, for instance, the latest-
in discussing the surprisingly contradictory elements which make up the character of the Chinese as a people; contrasts their strict truthfulness in recording historical events and their earnestness in the search for correct knowledge, whenever statistical facts are concerned, with that absolute and generally sanctioned Jicense in lying and dissi- mulation, which "prevalls everywhere in China," in popular intercourse, and in diplomatic nego... tiations." It should be borne distinctly in mind that historical accuracy may be exhibited in two widely different lines, the narration of explanation of those events by an analysis of events in due order and proportion, and the character and motives. It is said by those who have looked into Chinese histories most exten.
works are no doubt far in advance of the times in which they were written, in the latter parti- cular they are by no means adapted to carry the impression of that scrupulosity which Dr. Singer supposes. Without expressing any opinion on a subject of which we have no knowledge, we will merely call attention to the singular, il not unprecedented, clicumstance that a nation which- is affirmed to indulge in a license for lying, can at the same time furnish successive generallous of historiographers who are reverent of the truth. Do not the same passions which have distorted the history of other lands operute in China? · Do not the same causes produce in China the same effect as in the rest of the world? We have just seen. that those who člaím truthfulness for the Chinese in their historics, are ready enough to admit that in China truth is confined to histories. It is of course impossible to prove that every Chinese will lie, and we have no wish to do so if it were possible. The strongest testimony on this point can be gathered from the Chinese themselves, whenever their consciences have been sufficiently awakened, and their attention directed to the matter. Such persons are frequently heard to say of their race, as the South Sea Island chief Thus far in the consideration of the characa lie is born," To us, however, does not seem said of his," as soon as we open our mouths, teristics of the Chinese we may be supposed to
