tion as we have described, the magnitude of the "evil may be faintly apprehended.
The cases here referred to are those of extra ordinary banks provided by the people, in dis- tinction from the regular ones which are found along water-courses, which flow through the plains In the season when an inundation from any of the rivers is threatened, the, river banks are lined by an excited throng of villagers, repre- senting the region liable to inundation. There ssless danger of fights than in the circumstances already described," as the interests of all those engaged are substantially the same; but there are various characteristic phenomena, which serve as illustrations of our subject. Upon such occasions, the Imminent pubile peril is supposed to swallow up all private considerations, and the "triumphant democracy," of which in China there is a great deal, rages almost unchecked. Large bodies of excited peasants, most of them threatened with the total ruin of all their 'stard. ing crops, however, law-abiding they may ordinary be, are not at such times easily con trolled. They make their appearances in the villages which are nearest to the river bank, and under pretence of stopping an opening chasm in the river-bank seize on whatever they happen to see, and take whatever they demand. la a case reported to the writer during the present month, a band of this sort confiscated the entire furniture of a drug-shop-counters, expensive chests of drawers, cic, to throw into a hole in the river-bank, apparently out of a spirit of mere wanton mischief. A few years ago at the same point on the river, the local subordinate (erà và) repe senting the district magistrate, was r ported to have been dragged out by the queue, and much of the furniture of his yamen, down to the very ten-rups, taken with it, all "to stop the break in the bank," The salt-hongs which in ordinary times oppress the people by forcing them to pay full price for twelve ounces of salt instead of sixteen are, at times like these, open to reprisals of this nature. In short, any spite can be vented upon its victim with comparative impunity, if it is only done by n considerable number of persons, and under colour of using materials for the public good,..
The manner in which the village bully domi. neers over all within his territory has been aiready illustrated. It is an instructive fact that sometimes the village itself is a buily, and its victims are the smaller villages lying around it, which dare not provoke their adversary. Among such tyrannising communities are to be num. bered some-though by no means all-villages which have for the principal surname either K'ung or Meng, the inhabitants of which make it their boast that they are the lineal descendants of the two great sages of antiquity, and there fore fe 1 themselves entitled to enjoy that variety of liberty, outlined in the descriptive expression, 'doing as I please, and making everything else do so too. A few months ago a company of men belonging to a bully village near the home of the writer, having occasion to die earth from their land, did so in such a way as to encroach a little on a grave-lot belonging to a family in another village. The latter, family reman- strated in vain, but as thelf surname was Meng they did not feel altogether helpless. After the brawl had gone on for a long time, with every prospect of serious fights and an interminable lawsuit, the aggrieved party prepared to send a messenger to Tsoa Heien, the ancestral seat of the descendants of Mencius, to invoke their powerful aid to resent an attack upon a graveyard of a branch of, the clan. At this point the peace talker emerged, and by a vast amount of palaver the maiter was adjusted. The assumption by these great families of extraordinary premigatives is in striking contrast to the pre-eminently bumble behaviour which is obligatory on those families who happen to be the only ones of their names in a good sized village. Such families always expect to eat imposition and they are seldom disappointed. It has already been remarked that the Chinese contempt for the 'outside' nations, although under conditions necessarily different, is of the same type as their contempt for an outalde village. The fixity of residence of the Chinese is such that it is cénerally difficult to move from one village to another, especially to a village at distance. Such transfers are indeed constantly taking place in consequence of the stress of poverty and other causes, but it is to benoted that the incoming man is not regarded as identified with the village where he 'stays,' but at an out, aider. Even if he has been for a long time in the new home, he still tells you that he lives in the old place, no matter what its distance, and quite irrespective of whether he intends to return.”. In

from a relatively large one. The latter is mainly composed of a single family, preud and overbearing. Like, every other family of any sise, it has many poor members, and among them are many bad characters. In fact the whole village is termed by its neighbouring villages a bad one, that is, it is among villages a bully. Now this young man happens to own six acres of land, which is surrounded by land belonging to the large village. Strangely enough, this land is situated in the bed of a river, which is mostly used as a viad,ct for the surplus waters of the Grand Canal when the latter averflows.. During the first part of the year this land is quite dry, and may be rulivsted, but during the summer the waters are liable to come down at any time and inundate the crops. it is customary, therefore, to plant mainly tall millet and hemp, or in raise the arunde indica, reed out of which the ordinary mats are made. All these growing to a great height, the two former are able to keep their heads above water for some time, while the latter is an aquatic plant. Now in the bed of a river there are no regular roads, and the only way in which the young man is able to get to his land to cultivate or plant it, is by passing across the edge of another piece of ground, being care- ful, however, to do no injury to the standing crops. In these villages there is ho public system of crop-watching, but each villager makes his own arrangements. Knowing the risks towhich be is subjected from the contiguity of his land to a bully village, the young man was particular to employ n man from that village to watch the six acres. According to the ordinary programme in such cases, the man hired to watch the crops himself stole a part of them, but was detected in the act, and according to the usual course of

In a letter to the New York Herald Rosina Vokes; one of the most charming and vivacious women on the stage to-day, offers some kindly advice to stage struck young girls. Miss Vokes is so intelligent and so highly respected for her high character and fine womanly qualities that what she has to say to her sex should be read A. R. MARTY, Esq., Haiphong and Hongkong, consider certain matters which will be brought
with interest. She says:
"Hundreds of young girls come to me in the course of the year --and goodness knows I would
course I can only take a small percentage ofthem. Now think thatall these young ladies should come with some marketable commodity to offer a man- ager. We will suppose they have good looks; that is one and a very important one. But that is gene- rally the only one, and they frankly admit that ex- perience or accomplishments (stage accomplish. ments) they have none. Now, a manager cannot afford to make experiments and take on trial a purely inexperienced young lady. At the same time, when they ask what they are to do to gain experience, I am at a disadvantage. I should like to say, 'get an engagement, but as that is virtually proposing that some other manager should or might do what I refuse to do myself, it does not sound either satisfactory or logical. I think however, they might prepare themselves a lile more and diminish the manager's risk, and make subsequent instruction less difficult.

In reply to a question, it was repre- sented that she had only lived there about twelve years 1 A. similar attitude, it may be observed, is entertained in regard to a child which has been adopted from an 'outside village. It makes no difference that, the parentage of the child is perfectly well-known; he is only picked up and so he co- tinues as long as he lives. Indeed, we have known instances in which the same treatment is extended even to the second generation. The clannishness of a village is frequently ex- hibited in the most insignificant affairs. The principle of the 'boycott" lá perhaps as old as Chinese society, and is nowhere more perfectly understood. or practiced than in China. The Doctrine of the Mean does indeed recommend "With the young lady who wishes to keep it 'indulgent treatment of men from a distance,' in a secret from ber father and mother but intends order that they may be attracted, but the Chinese, to adopt the profession,' I have nothing to do. like the United States, have reached the point In the first place, the disapproval of her parents where men from a distance, are by no means is enough for me; in the second place, I am sure to be welcomed.

The property is held under a concession from the French Government and is of 60 acres in area with sea frontage and is admirably situated, having an approach where vessels of any size can anchor easily. There is also a practically inexhaustible supply of lime and other materials required for cement making on the spot. Coal, the principal item, is to be had near and cheap. As a matter of fact'veins of coal have been dis- covered on the property to be purchased by this Company. It may be stated that the Charbon-ENGINEERS, LAUNCH nages du Tonquin's property is immediately opposite that of this Company.
Highly satisfactory reports on the cement and hydraulic lime have been given by the French Government and local authorities here, and these can be seen at the offices, where samples also may be had. Samples are now being submitted to the Government for approval. Whilst this Cement is considered as good as that supplied by the Green Island Company, as regards cost it is cheaper.
The cost price is $1.15 a cask in Haiphong and $1.50 here. It can be sold in Indo China for about $5.zo a cask and In Hongkong at $3 5o.
Without taking into consideration the Hong- kong market, there is consumed in Indo China alone, according to official reports, 27,000 casks per annum.
