anything whatever may serve as the cause of a quarrel, or in the apt metaphorical expression of the people, there is no dipper that does not at times strike the edge of the cooking-boller. The writer once happened to see in a neighbouring village and abandoned vineyard, and the idea occurred that as these vines were wholly neglected and useless, they might be bought at a cheap rate, and transferred to a situation where they would be more appreciated. A native of the vilinge who was in the writer's employ, who had a turn for intricate diplomacy, was instruct- ed to open up negotiations. This he accomplish ed with skill, and in due time the vines were delivered. But no transaction of this sort la finished in China, until one has seen the end of it, and no one can ever tell when that will be The field turned out to be the property of several brothers with one of whom the bargain had been made. One of the other brothers soon made the discovery that it was a species of sacrilege to part with grape-vines which had been originally planted by a now deceased grandfather, Ench ofthe brothers, who had not been principale, took the same view of the matter, the truth being that in the divison of the spoils, they had been insufficiently considered. The only way to adjust the matter was for the agent who made the original prop-sal, to procure additional funds, which he divided among the various brothers, giving to each his share privately and as if it were the only one! In cases of this sort, the middleman occupies a position which cannot be enviable, He will not infrequently be revited, simply for not helping on a bargain in which there was to have been the most outrageous fraud. This is specially likely to be the case where foreigners are concerned, for the heaviest profits are expected. Foreigners themselve are often reviled behind their backs, especially if they do not speak Chinese, because they have not spent as much money as the cupidity of inn-keepers and others had led them to expect. In such cases, the servants of the foreigner have to bear the brunt of the abuse, To a Chinese it seems unaccountable that foreigners take it so coolly when they have been informed that they have been reviled. "What of it 7" is the natural reply for an Anglo Saxon. I can stand it if he can." But to a Chinese the man who is reviled and who feels no pain, is a kind of monstrosity, lost to self-respect. Foreign indifference to such abuse is generally laid to gross incapacity and hopeless stupidity, and the foreigner's unwillingness to have a tempestuous row over every trifle, is set down to his utter ignorance of propriety 1 How easy it is for the poor foreigner both to mis- well understand and to be misunderstood, illustrated in the experience of a friend of the -writer, who visited a Chinese bank, with the proprietors of which he was on good terms, and in the neighbourhood of which there had recently been a destructive conflagration. The foreigner congratulated the banker that the fire had not come any nearer to his establishment. On this "the person aldressed grew at once embarrassed and then angry, exclaiming. What sort of talk is this? This is not a proper kind of talk! It was not till some time afterwards, that the discovery was made, that the point of the offence against good manners lay in the implied hint that if the fire had come too near, it might have burned the cashshop, which would have been most unlucky, and the very contemplation of which, albeit in congratulatory Inaguage, was therefore tobonl
Whenever social storms prove incapable of adjustment by the ordinary processes, in other words when there is such a preponderance of ch' that it cannot be dispersed without an explosion, there is the beginning of a low-suit, a teria in China of fateful significance. The same blind rage which leads a person to lose all con. trol of himself in a quarrel, leads him after the

that the question has never been raised again in that State.
New Hampshire tried Prohibition for thirty. four years. April 12, 1880, an effort was made to incorporate it into ber Constitution. This was voted down by an enormous majority, only two counties in the State giving a majority in favor of Prohibition.
Delaware tried it in 1855, and after two years found that it so seriously affected the welfare of the State that it was repeated in 1857.
The IndependentAnti-Prohibition Republicans and Democrats of Iowa are uniting for the purpose of overthrowing Prohibition.
The law was twice passed in Wisconsin, and twice vetoed by the Governor, with support of the people. That was in 1855. Since then the
State has been untroubled by fanaticism.
Rhode Island enacted Prohibition in 1853. and after ten years' trial repudiated the law in 1863. She again enacted it last year, and has just got rid of it, after one year of financial and moral disaster.
Michigan passed the law in 1853, and kept it for twenty-two years, when, finding the futility of attempting to enforce prohibitory measures, she abandoned it in 1875. The fanatics tried io saddle the law upon her again this year, but her people would not have it, and overwhelmed it at the polls.
Indiana and Nebraska in 1855 passed probi- bitory measures, but neither of them kept Pro- hibition upon their statule books for any length of time, Indiana voted on the question again in 1882, and the amendment was defeated by the biggest majority cast in that State for twenty years.
Texas cast 93,000 majority against the effort force a prohibitory amendment into her Constitution,

An effort was made to force the law on Ten- PR nessee in 1887. The peuple, after a thorough discussion, resolved not to put it into their Constitution.
Oregon submitted the amendment in 1887, but the amendment was buried under an avalanche af votes.
In November, 1988, West Virginia voted on Prohibition. The question was thoroughly discussed and the amendment defeated by a vote of 3 to 1.
Canada has tried Prohibition, The law was passed a few years ago, and on a reconsideration of the question April 3. 1889, the voters slaughtered Prohibition from Lake Eric to the Bay of Fundy. Every city and town in Canada which voted that day repealed Prohibition.
In Iowa in 1880 there were 3,034 Govern ment licenses issued for the sale of liquor. In 1886, under Prohibition, the number bad increas- ed to 4,033-an increase of 999.

There is sound sense in the proverb which praises the man who will suffer himself to be imposed upon to the death, before he will go to law, which will often be worse than death. We smile at the fury of the immigrant whose dog had been shot by a neighbour, and who was remonstrated with by a friend when the resolution to go to law was declared. What was, the value of the dog?"

for generations yet to come. The 'Sacred Edict' contains a great deal of wise advice about the folly of going to law over trifles, wasting time, money and strength, and engendering enmities, but good advice is one of the commodities of which the Chinese are never destitute, and which has very littleeffect on actual life. We have known a dispute between a rustic customer and a pawn- as to a few bad cash, the total value of which did not amount to five cents, to be follee ed by a reviling match, a fight, an organis- ed attack on the pawnshop by a band of villagers, the dispatch of troops by the district magistrate to restore order, the interruption of the business of the shop for half a month, and a ruinous lawsuit in which the rustic was of course defeated, severely punished for his factions attempt to get his rights, and for indulging his ch' at the expense of a powerful corporation, In another instance, a trifling dispute be tween some children about the fight to & few dates, led to a fight and a lawsuit, which dragged on its destructive way, until one of the witnesses died in the Yamen, resalt. ing in fresh suits and ultimate ruin to all parties. - NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES.
