3. Old People: Let us call those, whose ages begin from thirty years old up to fifty, the old, people. Most of this sect of people are quite harmful in our country, because they keep their old bad custom very firmly, and try as hard as they can to prevent the progress of the young people. And it is very hard to influence them with the new ideas. But I have found that the wars between the yellow and the white races have aroused their minds very much, and those who have gone to foreign countries once are much wiser than before, And indeed, some of them try to be reformers, So, to study abroad in Japan or in other

WUCHOW NOTES.
[From Our Own Correspondent.]

On the following day the Viceroy re turned the compliment, inviting to the Tactai's yamen (where His Excellency is putting up) Mr. and Mrs. Kahn, the Commander and chief officer of the Vigilant, and Mr. Von Strauch, Commissioner of the Chinese Imperial Mari time Customs at this port.

PIRACY IN THE HARBOURÄ Remanded from yesterday the case against the five men for piracy in the harbour was continued before Mr. Gompertz this morning.
Of course, to the initiated this is all mere "talkee-talkéo." It is like speaking of a circus to the average child who knows more about circuses in general than the speaker. But it bas a strange and uncanny fascination for those whosee it for the first time. It is a record. Tell the plain man-in-the-street-who knows every- thing, of course, and whose judgment is beyond cavil that such things are to be found in Hongkong at China New Year time and he will probably answer" Bosh." Now, where do
aft these apparitions go during the remainder of the year? People who have been round China, that is to say, those who "do" the Celestial Empire in a hop, step and jump, these people confess that they are face to face with some- thing new. So that the resident's journey to the "Strand" is not without its compensations from several points of view.

Kwok Sau Chi gave evidence corroborating the testimony of previous witnesses, and added that she also had pepper rubbed in her eyes, which hinded her. One of the robbers broke the rattan of a gold-mounted bangle she wore on her right wrist, and tried to pull it off,bably if one only had an interpreter names
but as they could not do that they seized a chopper, and laying her hand on a batch chopped the bangle off, and also broke her gold ring. She was then forced down the hold. At first she refused to go, but they threatened to stab her if she did not, and produced daggers. After the pirates left the junk witness went up on deck, and then she missed her box. It contained about 50 pieces of clothing, and a-gold-mounted bangle valued at $7, and four other gold rings, valued argo, besides 74 gold beads valued at $72. Witness then identified a number of pieces of clothing as her property all of which she said were in her box on board the junk. The case was again adjourned.

STREET FLOWER GARDEN,
Flowers everywhere, as a matter of course, Trim gardens and hot house plants flooding the gaiters. Oranges in myriads, blossoming on trees a foot high. Teggy wintry like trees, in bad and blooming, and dahlias, the eternat chrysanthemum, and almost everything con- ceivable in woodrous variety. It bewilders the spectator. The Britisher begins to realise what an outsider he 19. He realised before, how strange are the varieties of human novelty, and what an extraordinary country is this China of which he has heard so much and may
at the best see so liule.
And all this quaint scenery and unusual things, the Chinese gentleman and beggar, banker and coolic, crush and squeeze in the gayest humour. The chat, chat, chalter goes on interminably. The thickly-doubletted "snob" if there be such a thing in Chinese Hongkong-jokes with the tattered vagabond. till we are only on the verge of the New Year -the glory of anticipation is in the ascendant, and so we jostle along as happy as a China- man whose debiors have paid up ikke men.

HIGH REVEL.
It does not seem to matter where We go in this quarter of the city at any rate, high revel holds the day, Lanterns and "good joys" are all around. The cookshop, with its stricgs of roasted ducks and browned pigs, drives a roaring trade, for Karty calls for good cheer and there is nothing full stomach to induce good humour, unless it be sauchu and that is curiously absent. In the average British crowd of the same di- mensions it would be impossible to pass along the street without meeting a host of "blands," recking with liquor, jovial in their cups, or morose and quarrelsome ready to find offence in the averted eye. Perhaps the Chinaman who indulges in the national drink of his coun- try hides himself away in some obscure nook when the fit comes on. He is not on the street, that is certain. And all this is before the New Year as we have said.
THE NEW YEAR WISH.
From Flower Hill, as it is beautifully called, to Wing Lok Street, up hill and down dale, the scenes vary till the eyes get tired. What it will be like when the day of days in the Chi. nese calendar has really arrived remains to be seen. Is it proper to say now:
"KUNG HOI FAT CHOY?"

Let me point out some of the most important education and discuss about each of them.
There are three kinds of education: the education of virtue, the education of knowledge, and the physical education, which are needed in China as well as in every nation. I expect
to discuss much about the education of know. ledge. U course, three of them are equally useful, so one is important as the other. If we hare but knowledge then we are the most
harmful men in the society; if we have but virtue then we are just like wooden men; and if we have but strength then we are just like
wild animals.
SWATOW.
ITS IMPROVEMENTS AND WANT OF THEM.
I:
20th January.
Swatow has been awakening somewhat out of its lethargic state of late and we hope it is not the turning of the sluggard in bed that Dr. Watts compared to a door on its hinges. It now boasts of a regular and nearly uniformed Chinese police force that with a little more At present training may become efficient. they have a slouchy way that takes from their smartness. They seem idlers amidst the busy
throng and their dignity fits like a giant's robe.

move in the right direction, and Swatow has need of a new broom to sweep away its many peculiarities and shortcomings. The cobwebs are thick in its corners and revived energy is welcome. We can take more of it with much satisfaction.
Now I am going to discuss a few words about the education of virtue first. The doctrine of Confucius is being corrupted, so the bad cus- toms are full everywhere. At present, China needs a great many native Christian ministers, in order to destroy the bad customs. I think it is not very good for the foreign ministers to preach to the people, although they are much wiser than the native intnisters, because it is

THE VICEROY,
All those who have personally known the Viceroy speak of him as an official of gentle manly manners, most affable and enters thoroughly into sympathy with the spirit of any subject which is brought to his notice. His Excellency is in excellent health and spirits, contrary to most reports that he had been very seriously ill.

The Education of Knowledge: To-day, there are three sects of people who need different kinds of education.
1. Young People. Let us call those, whose ages begin from seven years old up to twenty, the young people. They ought to be educated with the new method and the western books which have been translated into Chinese already.
