by the foreign treaties, and, who has seen the necessity of accommodating the traditional ways of the government to the exigencies of foreign intercourse. Many others perceive that a change has come over the circumstances of the country, and sincerely desire that the country should be prepared for the novelties which threaten it. The idea of reform is in their minds, and they believe that some modifications in their educational system, and some introduction of foreign implemen's of progress and so forth are necessary to the country's welfare. But it is the distit ction of Li Hung-chang to have altempted, and in part succceded in, the practical solution of the problem. He is the only one who has taken the bull by the horns, and frankly accepted the conditions necessary to the accom plishment of his purposes. He is not so childish as to say: We will make rallways, but only with Chinese material; we will have a war fleet, but no foreigners to manage it. True enongh, the fulfilment of his schemes of improvement and defence leave very much to be desired, due partly to the Viceroy's inexperience, and partly to the difficulties with which he is surrounded, which would have utterly discouraged á weaker man, and of which foreigners have no conception; but there is the real bond ffde loten tion to put in practice what others, from the security of their bureaucratic citadel, only preach. For the purposes of coast and frontier defence there is no question that LI Hung-chang means to be as efficient as he knows how.

We have not referred specially to the actual ac' levam it offiilung, hang, and would only observe that it is too ently yet to apμm-be the life-work of a man who has still ten good years of activity before him. For another reason also it would be impossible to judge him fairly, for in his case, more perhaps than in most, the hidden difficulties with which he has had to contend can only be known to posterity, whose prerogative it will be to judge impartially of the stately figure. which will be to all time a landmark of Chine e History Chinese Times
NOTES FROM CHINESE papers.
The Foochow Arsenal authorities last year built a stecisplate boat called the Long wa which on her trial trip was not a great success, but after some alterations in her machinery her speed proved faster than anticipated. She has been sent to the north, where Viceroy Li Hung». chang made an inspection of her, and we hear that His Excellency was much pleased with the result.
At Nauchu, near Wenchow, a band of robbers under a leader named Chun, were the terror of the district. On the 16th of last moon the authorities sent Captain Taun with 500, soldiers to capture the leader and break up the band. Captain Taun marched upon the desperadoes and had an engagement with them, capturing

Nor in the art of peace is he lean distinguished the chief and kening, During the fray Taur RACE JACKETS,
A fool-hardy and barren resistance to a foreign enemy never will enter into the programme "of this practical man of business. The hollowness of Chinese bravado and the cowardice of Chinese collapse are alike alien to his nature and either by inherited constitution or from the assimila- tion of the teachings of experience, he is remark ably free from illusions. Better prepared than any of his compeer to resist an invasion of the territory, he has aliose red the secret of keeping invasion at a distance, which is merely a fair, reasonable, and manly treatment of foreigners, whether as governments, officials of government, or as private individuals. To have laid aside, as Li Hung-chang has done, the trippery of Chinese officialdom, and the effete bombast of the stage heroes of dilapidated yamens required no small courage, or, what in this case is much the same thing, common sense, in 'n - country of make-believes. The independence of mind which has rendered Li Hung-chang indif- ferent to the obloquy of his'amali detractors who secretly denounced him as that greatest of all Chinese criminals. the friend of foreigners, has also qualified him for the discharge of the highest functions of the State. The man who was not afraid to face the consequences of his acts was a God-send to a timid government, who mare and more discovered the convenience of makingover all difficult problems to him, to solve them at his peril.
Li Hung-chang bas stood to the Throne some. what in the relation of the Minister of a constitu- tional sovereign taking on himself the onus of all failures and sustaining the convenient legal fiction that "the King can do no wrong." With this radical difference, however, that the power of resignation being practically denied to the Chinese Minister he has to stand the conse quences of action which he may entirely disapprove; as has been Li Hung-chang's own case, more than once. This principle of personal accountability which as much as anything clac emasculates the public service, having been fully accepted by Li Hung-chang, he has never hesitated to stand in the breach when called upon, and to
make himself the scapegoat for the blurders of the Court, which time and again has been relieved from embarrass- ment by the loyal intervention of the Viceroy, And it is the reliance which could always be placed in this essentially practical devotion of the Minister that has knitted him indissolubly to the Throne. Many instances of the fearless- ness of responsibility might be given besides the negotiations respecting Tongking which are fresh in the memony of our readers. On one Occasion his intrepidity saved the life of that well-meaning, but ill-starred ruinister, Chung how, who was, most unjustly, condemned to. death for the Livadia Treaty, among the most ruthless of whose assailants on the occision were two high officials very well known to foreigners.

But a few. days ago a night watchman saw a number of priests, all wearing anintly robes and carrying on their shoulders religious insignia. They were walking along and talking, and the guard noticed that their language was anything but el a religious nature, so he proceeded to enquire into their antecedents and questioned them.
