There is very loud commendation on the part of these of the work of their compatriots in the lower posts of the river; the only cause of disappoint- ment in their part is that the work was not done more thoroughly.

These riots are taking place all the time and if the wires are closed to those in danger all immediate means of procuring safety are gone, It is time the foreign powers taught the Chinese a sharp severe lesson by bombarding a town or two. The paying of indemnities does not amount to anything. The parties that make the disturbance almost always get off scot-free, and the innocent well-behaves people, who really dread arist as much as the foreigners, are the ones who have to pay.-N. C.

We often see newspaper accounts of the wonderful way in which China is governed. In every big city in England and America there is a policeman on almost every comer, while in China there are only a few tipaos to a whole city. If the truth ware known, however, China's government is rather pega tive than positive, as
evinced recently in this city. A big idel procession was appointed for a certain day, to wind up with feasting, &c. but because there were in the vicinity a large- number of bontmen with the Emperor's rice boats, they did not dare to have the procession, and so it was postponed till the boats leave, so

Yet, with all this anti-foreign venom flowing from Human, there are signs that the spirit of the age is killing it even in that province.. It is true that Hunanese visitors tell us that Kuo Sung tao, the first Ambassador to England, now in retirement at his Hunan bome, is still so despised for his foreign residence that he can't venture to pay New Year calls, and that many respect able people there will use no foreign cloth, foreign matches, or anything else that is foreign.
