The depth of such wisdom proved too much for the editor's hearers to fathom, and so every ope collapsed, except the expounder of wisdom. Instead, therefore, of being turned over to the tender mercies of the cook, or being preserved in a bottle of spirits, the captors gently and reverently took froggie back to the place where he had been caught, and there the prisoner was duly discharged."
The Kuang pao relates a tiger adventure which occurred the other day in Micao. A Frenchman arrived from Canton having with him a caged tiger, weighing from fifty to sixtycatties, which was placed at the entrance of the hotel During his stay, the streams of people who came to gaze at the ferocious beast appeared to be ceaseless. In the meanwhile a certain wealthy Chinese, anxious to possess a pair of tiger claws, a highly valuable talisman in the eyes of a Celestial, made an arrangement with the Frenchman, in which the latter promised to Insten up the tiger and, for a consideration, allow the Chinaman to cut off the much coveted claws. Daring the operation, however, the animal resented the liberties taken with him, and knocked down the Frenchman and then walking over the trembling body ofhis would be despoiler, took a quiet stroll through the town, much to the terior of the inhabitants. The owner, however, being a tiger-tamer, re-caged the animal, and ultimately succeeded in extracting the claws.

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
THE ABSENCE OF ALTRUISM,
III.
The writer is acquainted with a Chinese who ignored this superstition, and buried his second wife alongside the first. The neighbours of the mother of the accond wife filled her ears with the prophecies of the most deadly disaster, if this state of things were to be tolerated. She and her friends came to the village where the husband of the deceased woman lived, expgstu. lated, threatened, and besought him by turns, to move the corpse of his late wife, away from the fury of the former one. They assured him that his late wife's ghost was constantly scen In her native village, and that trouble was most imminent. Irritated by their clamour, and being naturally of an obstinate disposition, the husband refused to comply with the request, but at last consented to accompany them to their village, and witness the alleged outbreak of the spirit, which be promised to quell. He remained two days, during which time all was perfectly quiet, but he had not gone a quarter of a mile on his way home, than he was sent after in haste, on the alleged ground that his late wife's ghost had broken loose again. As no external evidence was offered to him of the supposed trouble, bepasi-

did her husband beat her? Because she had irritated the neighbours over the wall by reviling them. And why did she revile her neighbours? Because they had her property in their charge, and she took it for granted that they would not give it up, and revenged herself in advance by reviling them. To be more ex- plicit; the eggs laid by domestic fowls are often considered by the women of the family as their.
perquisites. In this instance a hen had flown over the neighbours' wall, and had been heard to cackie, implying that the egg had been laid over there. No ene appears to have even con.. templated the possibility that the egg could be regained. The woman accordingly reviled the neighbours, with consequences" already den- cubed. The value of the egg, at current rates, was three cash..
As we have noticed in speaking of filial piety, it is a constituent part of the theory that the younger age relatively of little account. They are valued principally for what they may be come, and not for what they are. Thus the practice of most Western lands is in China re versed. The youngest of three travellers is proverbially made to take the brunt of all hard ships. The youngest servant is uniformly the common drudge of the rest. In the grinding. poverty of the mass of the people, it is not strange that the spirit even of a Chinese boy often rebel against the sharp limitations to which he finds himself. pinned, and that be not infrequently

runa away. That he almost invariably steers for some rela tive or friend, has been already remarked is speaking of parasitism. But the boy who has made up his mind to go will seldom fail to find some slight thread by which he may attach himself to some one else. The causes for this behaviour on the part of bays, are various, but so far as we have observed, the harsh treatment of others is by far the most common. In a country like China, the poor have no time to be sick. Ailments of women and children are apt to be treated by the men of the family ns of no consequence, and are constantly allowed to run into incurable maladies, because there the man could not afford it. In one case with which we happened to be acquainted of harah treatment by a father, the lad died several hundred miles, to Tientsin, whence he returned, after a month's absence, for the truly amazing reason that he was unable to endure the smells of that fragrant metropolis! In another case, a boy recently recovered from a run of typhus fever, being possessed by the hearty appetite common to such patients, and finding the coarse black-bread of the familyTHE British Steamship fare hard eating, went to a local market, and indulged in the luxury of expending cash to the value of about twenty cents. For this he was severely reproved by his father upon which the lad ran away to Manchuria, an pufiling resort of lads all over the north-eastern provinces, and was never heard of again.—N. C.

tively refused to move the body, and the CHINA COAST METEOROLOGICAL matter was allowed to drop. It has been already remarked elsewhere that the beat- ing of Chinese wives by their husbands is regarded as a matter of course. One of the first questions which is asked of foreign ladies, by the Chinese women with whom they become well acquainted, is, "Does he not beat you?" The replies are generally received with incredulity. On one occasion when these enquiries had been made and answered as usual, none of the Chinese women present could boast of not having been beaten, except the old grand-mother, who was more than eighty years of age. Her recipe was of the simplest description, but for a Chinese woman most difficult, to wit, to hold her tongue. Anping! There are probably very few Chinese women to whom this method ever occurred, or who would be capable of adopting it if it had occurred to them, "When you are young and just married," said the old lady, "your husband does not like to beat you. When you get older and have a. troop of children, if he beats you they all come out shrieking and making such a clamour Take that he dislikes to face it. And when you are old, he does not care to begin for the first time, and there you are, never having been beaten your life!" Unfortunately this sound domestic philosophy is for the most part theoretical Knowing that one of the sons of this old lady had a wife who was a thorn in the fleali, the writer once enquired a little into their matrimo- nial relations, and ascertained what was indeed a matter of general notoriety among the inha- bitants of the large town in which they lived, that these relations were at times what the di- plomatists term 'strained' The husband was a man of some education, less. than forty years of age, his wife a woman rather taller than him self, and not unpleasing in appearance. There was never anything in beir demeanour to indi cate that they were in any respect differ ent from BOY of their neighbours, indeed, they were not. This semi-literary man informed us that he had beaten his wife times without number, Sometimes he had used a club two feet long and an inch or two in thickness, made of a particularly hard wood, Sometimes he had used an ash-scraper, which happened to be the most convenient weapon. Once he beat her until his arm was tired, and he was all of a tremble. During all this time, she was shricking, "Mother, Mother!" but the moment he stopped, she began reviling him, on which he resumed the beating, and she resumed her invocations to her Niang? On one of these occasions she had been pregnant for four or five "mouths. Two days after, she jumped into a deep well, but was hauled out by a rope. The child lived, strange to say, but was smothered at the age of one month, by being lain upon. On another occasion the hung herself with ber girdle, which broke, leaving her in a heap on the ground from which she refused to rise. „At another time, she ate two handfuls of a poisonous runge-powder, but nothing came of It M. Huc tells a story, which to many of his readers must have seemed an idle tale, of a Chi- bese busband who had a wife with whom hetad lived happily for two years. But having, con- ceived the idea that people were laughing at him, because he never beaten his wife, he deter- mined to make a beginning in such a way as to Impress every spectatord with her, he beat his and accordingly, though wife to such an extent that she could neither move nor speak, and although her hor" and was kind enough to admit that he was in error, shof died two days afterwards in terrible convulsions. In the chapter on the absence of sympathy, reference was made to the daughter of a woman employed as a BUNGO, in foreign family, the husband of which daughter had abused her severely, Within the short time since that account was written, this young woman has again fallen into deep trouble. Her husband came into the hense one day, when she was engaged in some domestic occupation and without any anger in his manner told her to take off her clothes. She dared not refuse, and he then cruelly beat her with a thorny stick, Ull the blood ran. She was more terrified by this experience than by all that had gone before, on account of the deliberate malice and the absence of any cause. A man who will beat his wife till she streams with blood, while, he is careful not to injure her garments with
