already discussed, accounts for the facts that a Chinese will often talk for a very great length of time, saying practically nothing whatever. Much of the incomprehensibility of the Chinese, so far as foreigners are concerned. is due to the insincerity of the Chinese. We cannot be sure what they are after. We always feel that there is more behind. It is for is reason that when a Chinese comer to you and whispers. to you mysteriously something about another Chinese in whom you are much interested, you are not unlikely to experience a sinking sensation in the pit of the stomach. You are uncertain whether the one who is speaking is telling truth, or whether the character of the one of whom he is speaking has caved in, One never has any assurance that a Chinese ultimatum is ultimate. This proposition, so easily stated, contains in itself the germ of multitudinous anxieties for the trader, the tra- veller, and the diplomatist. The rent reaten for anything is hardly ever to be expected, and even when it has been given, one cannot be qure of this fact. Every Chinese, the uneducated not less than others, is by nature a kind of cuttle fish, capable of distilling any amount of turbid ink, into which he can retreat with the utmost anfely so far he pursuit is concerned. If you are interviewed on a journey, and invited to contrl- bute to the travelling expenses of some impecu- nious individual who hopes to exploit a new field, your attendant does not say as you would do, "your expenses are none at my affair, begone with you," but with a smile, that a child-like and bland, he explains that your allowance of money is barely sufficient for your own use is rather short indeed, and so you will be deprived of the pleasure of contributing to your fellow traveller. We have seldom met a Chinese gatekeeper who would say to a Chinese crowd, as a foreigner tells him to do, 'you cannot come in here,' but he will observe | instead, that they must not come in, because the big dog will bile them if they do. There are few Chinese who have any well developed conscience on the subject of keeping an engagement. This characteristic is connected with their talent for misunderstanding, and with their disregard of time. But whatever the real reason for the failure, it is interesting to see what a variety of alleged reasons exist for it: the Chinese in general resemble the man who being accused of haying broken his promise, replied that it was of no consequence, as he could make another just as good. If it is a fault for which he is reproved, promises of amendment flow in limpid streams from his lips. His acknow ledgments of wrong are complete, in fact too complete, and leave nothing to be desired, bus sincerity. A Chinese teacher who was employed in diting and commenting upon Chinese aphorisme, after writing down a fine sentiment of the ancients, made an annotation to the effect that one should never, refuse 2 request in an abrupt manner, but should on the contrary grant it in form, although with no in- tention to do so in substance. Put him off till to-morrow. Thus, he remarked in his note, 'you comfort his heart!' Have any of our readers ever been the recipients, of this species of comfort, given on the Chinese plan, and if so have they refused to be comforted" on the occidental plan? The Chinese have a strong desire to say what you want said if they can find out what that is. Was this water boiled? asked the mistress of a servant. It was not thoroughly boiled' was the reply. Dia you not take this water directly out of the water- jar was the rejoinder. 'Yes', was the un- willing admission. It is a Chinese tenet that one should not push things to extremities, so as to get too severe realities. They have long ago made the discovery so difficult for the Anglo- Saxon to act upon, that an ounce of taffy is worth a pound of epitaphy, so that their monu ments to the dead, unlike those in western lands, Arc. distinguished for their sobriety and the accuracy of their statements. There is a story of the dramatist Sheridan, who came into a church and having attempted to enter a pew, found the pew door locked. Returning, he was asked why he had not gone in, and replied, *pudor, retal? The same obstacle to which Sheridan humorously referred sometimes per vents the Chinese, from telling the truth; as in the case of a wealthy Cantonese, at the time of the war of 1812, who was asked by a British officer why, since China claimed to be so advanced, she had no railroads. He instantly replied, Canton side no kave got-Peking side kave got! This was almost fifty years ago, and Peking side' is still somewhat deficient in this line. Is it that shame forbids,' as it forbids the tellin" of the truth ?– N° C. Daily News.

Chemulpo, 13th July, 1889. - We have had plenty of rain this month and the crops may be said to be safe, not only in this province, but also in those to the north. Fing Yang, Kang, Wen, Wang Hai, Kiung Kih and Chung Chong provinces have more beans planted this year than ever before. This may be said to be due to the fact that the farmers find they can sell at remunerative prices in this port all that they lay down in the market, and without delay of any kind. No sooner do the bean-laden junks arrive. in port than either Japanese, Chinese or foreigners are after them. An anangement is quickly made, and in a day or two the vessel is able to return to the agricul tural districts carrying piece goods, kerosene oil, cheap lamps, matches, dyes, etc, etc., which the owner can retail at highly profitable rates to the people of his district.
It is regreltabic that the laige, well-watered south-western province of Chulla Do cannot be properly tapped. Its chief port, Mokpo on the Montang river, is just 200 miles south of Che mulpo, Steamers of 400 and 500 tons register have been there several times to load Govern ment tribute tice and beans, and their com.. manders have found the barbour all that could be desired, with but two or three obstacles near the entrance, which can easily be avoided. Mokpo is also about 200 miles from Fusan. The province of Chulla Do, is pretty thickly populated, well watered, contains numerous large and well-cultivated plains, a peaceable population, and could be largely developed were Mokpo thrown open and the people able to get imported goods to their districts at moderate cost, and and a ready market near at band for disposing, of their farm products.
At the present time all but the upper "classes of the population of Chulla Do are clad in home. made materials, owing to the high cost of Manchester goods subsequent to long and risky transport by land, or in rickety, leaky, Unseaworthy junks, from the open ports. The

TIENTSIN.
20th July, 1889.< Baron von Seckendorff' took. charge of the German Consulate at Tientsin on the 11th Inst. We understand that the traffic on the railway is so great that it has been found necessary to increase the staff of drivers, one now being on his way out to j in the China Railway Company: Mr. Feindel, German Consul, and family left Tientsin by the steamer Hacting on July 15th, to assume the duties of the Consulate at Amoy, whither the best wishes of the community follow them.
Another industry of Fasan, just invented by the enterprising onese there, is the prepara. tion of dried potatoes for China Fúson grows potatoes of excelent flavour in great abundance The tubers are washed, rut into slices on which the rind is left, sur-dried, then packed. Nearly every vessel from, Fusin brings from 20 to 50, tons of these dried potatoes to Chefoo and Tientsin. The Chinese who buy them, first soak the pieces and then buil then, and thus obtain a new variety of pilaiable, wholesome, and nutritious food at a cost much lower than maize
or millet.
There has been scarcely any rain this week. till to-day, and the temperature kept wonderfully cool and fresh until Friday, when a real moist summer heat set in which, according to custom, ought to have insted about a week, but has already given way to a cool temperature. The heat generally comes in waves, like the poetry of the Chinese Times; and the natives divide the summer into periods called, which roughly correspond to these fines of great heat, three of which of about ten days' duration each qsually fill up the measure of our North China summer,
Owing to the illness of one of the drivers, the evening train from Tientsin to Tongku did not make the journey on Tuesday last. The driver had been suffering from fever and ague for some time, and had only lately returned from a fortnight's absence due to this cause, and although on his engine up to time was really unfit for duty. The Chinese station master, under the impression that the man was drunk, refused to give up the staff to enable the train to depart, but despatched the staff to Chun-linng-Chêng by trolly, where, it arrived at 7:25 and the Tongku train left immediately for Tientsin. A dose of quinine having been given to the driver in about an hour he was sufficiently recovered to have proceeded. The Chinese station master and passengers were too ready to assume intoxica. tion was the cause of the driver's indisposition, a charge that the railway officials, both foreign and native, say was unfounded, and under the circumstances exceedingly unjust to a man who was, though ill endeavouring to do his duty.- Chinese Times.
