tions, which have to him no more meaning than so many exclamation points. A Chinese teacher, in the employ of the writer, was in the habit of using opium, for which he was likely to be discharged. He not enly promised to give up this indulgence, but he emphasised his assurance by the earnest syngestion that if his employer should ever at any time hear of the repetition of the offer ce, he should take a club and beat the native pundit there withal! When Rastelas wat attracted by the philosophisings of the teachers of morality whom he met, his wise old mentor, Imlac, warned him that though they discoursed like angels, they lived like men. Dean Stanley remarked that the world has added to the decalogue an eleventh commandment, which urs, Thou shalt not be found out in breaking the other ten." Even while considering this characteristic of the Chinese, an incident has occurred within the writer's experience, which may serve not only as an illustration of the trait, but also of the observations both of the sage Imlac, and of Dean Stanley.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1889.
at night in Canton can easily be imagined, for not only are there two gate keepers to be fée'd at each barrier, but unless oŋe pays handsomely these men are very likely to cause trouble by making impertinent questions, nod even going so far as to take the poor fellow who does not "pay up" to the Po-kap-kok (Police station) of his district, to be interviewed by the petty civil officer there, and although one may get off eventually, the trouble and vexation of spirit arising thereltom are sufficient to deter many a would-be pleasure seeker from leaving
his home of an evening.
People in Canton have always been remark- able for their carelessness in engaging servants; taking them on withr ut the least knowledge of their antecedents, and then without even asking for references from the applicant for the situation of a cook or valet de chambre. A severe lesson, however, has been lately read to the careless, and it is to be hoped the publicity of the matter given by all the native papers may have the salutary effect of making families more careful in the future about engaging 'anybody 'ne house- servants. A very wealthy family in Canton hap pened to engage a man by the name of Lisa an ordinary family servant to wait upon the male members of the family. The man came without reference or recommendation, and as his ap pearance was neat he was duly engaged. This was about two months ngo. In the meantime Lishowed himself a zealous and energetic menial, and while giving satisfaction his employers gave himself still greater satisfaction by obscrv. ing all the bearings of the house he was going to betray and noting down the regular comings. in and goings-out of the male members of the family. Waiting when none but the women of the household were at home, Li opened the ponderous, hall doors of his master's house on the night of the 23rd of October and let in a gang. of robbers with whom he had been in communication ever since entering the service of his benefactors. All the members of the family, including the women servants," were he und and
Two Chinese students, aged eighteen and twenty-two respectively, came to the foreigner's premises, and paid a visit to a room occupied by a writer in a dispensary, with whom they were well acquainted. As he was, out at the time, they stepped into another room niso occupied by afiispensary nasistant where they were observed and addressed by a servant on the premises. They also visited the dispensary, where they engaged in conversation with a teacher, who politely inquired their names, ages, and residence. Soon after, they left the premises. They had departed but a short time, when the dispensary assistant, into whose room they had last gne, entered it, and missed a fine nickel-plated water-pipe of Saochow make, which cost about, five dollars. At the time of their entrance it had been standing upon table.
The dispensary assistant, certain that the two students had stolen the pipe, which was quite unlike any in use in that region, and which he valued as a present at once went to a village lived. Here, some difficulty, he succeeding years old who escaped observation by

NEWCHWANG,
*
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
19th October, 1889. The weather for the last week has been un usually mild, but we may lack for a great change at any moment. Several ateamers and sailing. vessels are in' port; some of the latter according to charter-party having to wait for a few days. yet before laydays commerce. It is rather an anxious time for shippers who wish to avail themselves of the new crops of peas or beans, of which it is said there is a plentiful supply in the Interior, unable to come down by boats on ac- count of unfavourable .winds. It is therefore hoped that the long prevailing south breeze may turn to the north, when the river will be alive with small native craft.
Mr. M. Boyd Bredon arrived per Taiwan and succeeds Mr. W. B. Russell as Commissioner of Customs. The latter leaves with the best wishes
in seeing the father of one of the young men, and stated the loss which had been incurred, and also that it was certain that the young men must have taken the pipe, since no one else had been in the room. He also judiciously suggested that it had no doubt been "borrowed" by the students, under the impression that it was the property of the man whom they knew. As such proceedings are very common among the Chinese, this offered a perfectly feasible mode of ercape for the youths, and one which they would have done well to adopt. It would then have been only necessary to return the pize, with the apelegy that it was a mi lake, and the matter would have been at an end. They chose, how- ever, to rieny all knowledge of the affair, and the owner of the pipe returned baffled. The next day, according to the invariable Chinese usage, intermediaries were employed representing each sidde. Sume of them became entangled in the malter until they would not go further, and then .turned over their commissions to others. In a few days nearly a score of persons, residents of four different villages, had been drawn into the affair, upon one side or the other. The preceptor of the lads would not for a moment admit that scholars of his could commit such a disgraceful act (as to be defected in stealing a water-pipe); if they had really done it, he would "beat them severely, and turn them out of school.". But the chain of proof was so unexpectedly strong that it became hopeless to deny the charge, at the same time that it was more and more out of the ques- tion to admit it. It was a case of an irresistible prjectile impinging upon an invulnerable target. The owner of the pipe feared, that with the obstinacy of character for, which many Chinese are noted, the culprits would continue to protext their innocence, even if subjected to tortures in the district yamen, and thus after all succeed in saving their face. Besides, who ever heard of driving so triding a matter to sodire an extremity? Ench side would have been glad to get out of the difficulty, but neither side could retreat. It was now admitted thatthe young men did takethe pipe, but as it had been soon after stolen from them, they were wholly unable to produce it 1 At last it was agreed that the matter should be com- promised, as all Chinese matters must be, by a feast. At this there were present all of the principals and intermediaries who could be. collected, to the number of nearly twenty. To add to the moral effect, two foreigners occupied seats of prominence. Before the feast began, the two young men appeared at the front door, and made theit ko-low in abject humility. They were sternly addressed by their preceptor, who warned them to be careful what they did next time; they were categorically naked by the owner of the pipe whether they took, and they admitted that they did so. After this they retired. But the pipe was not produced, because no one knew where it was! Its value in full was paid in cash as a part of the festivi- ties! This whole preposterous transaction filustrated that splendid mendacity for which the Chinese have become so famous, but it illus trated still more that quality of Chinese ethis In application, according to which it was thought better by all the friends of two young Confucian thieves to act a palpable lie with a view to saving their face, rather than openly to admit and at one for their fault-and. this, too, when the fact of the theft was publicly and expressly acknow.nt the mercy of an enemy, whether banditii, dir- ledged. Two graduates and several other lite tary men took part in this adjustment, the real object of which seemed to be to enable the part cipants to lie out of the matter afterwards, by a pretence that they had been forced to make reparation for an imaginary loss, driven thereto by dread of foreigners |—N.

CANTON.
'(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Capton, October 31st. If the measurea now. inaugurated by the new Namhoi Magistrale, Mr. Yang, become enforced Canton City, or rather that part of it specially
under bis jurisdiction, will be a source of delight
of the whole community, and has during the last few days been obliged to listen and reply to the hearty linle after-dinner speeches, which were given vent to by his sundry hosts. Every body is delighted at Mr. Russell having gained the much desired position of Commissioner of Customs, not only for his own sake but for that of Mrs. Russell. Her "At Homes", will, be always remembered not only as good, very good, but perfect. All the cold-with the thermometer 15 degrees below zero, and the snow and bitter wind for which these regions are famous from November to March-did not prevent our good dancers and others from enjoying the pleasures of the well warmed and lighted rooms of the Commissioner, nor did one sleep the less happily returning home sleep the less happily for return- ing bome in small hours, after braving again the very hard weather outside.
Just about this time last year we had hopes that H.M.S Cockchafer would winter here; but we were doomed to a great disappointment, for although the vessel arrived in good time she was obliged to leave, because the dock had not been prepared for her early enough. We have not heard whether a vessel will come this year i or not; and it is too late to agitate for one now. The feeling with some is that this should not be the only part to be left unprotected during four months of complete isolation. There may not be any necessity for a gunboat; but it is always on the cards that the necessity may arise. In such case it would be impossible either to obtain assistance or to escape from any attack that could be made. The residents would be entirely
banded soldiers or regular braves, and it has been proved at Chinkiang, Canton, and other places that the local military are rather worke than no defence at all. Anyhow, one may ask why the port of Newchwang should not be as well taken care of as Tientsin, Cheloo and others.-N. C. Daily News.
