CHINESE NOTESA

In one of the Odes of the Shi-king it is stated that widowe possessed certain rights of gleaning in a mowed fold. This fact is interesting, and at once brings to our recol lection the story of the widow Naomi and Ruth gleuning in the fields of Boaz. The words of the Odo run: 彼有不穉 此有不歛櫝彼有遺秉此 有潜穗伊寡婦之利. Jn.the Ful-kien Province the rights of gleaners are yet recognized. K'ak, teu 210, loquial words which mean "to glean."

It has been a wofal year to many thousands of people. We must think of these when we look upon the past days. I know that some hearts are more acutely sensitive than others aro.

No selfishness and heartlessness are not the vices of Socisty here.

But there have been great anxieties in the world; and car little cares pale into insignicance when these are mentioned. There have been gigantic famines, almost at our very doors. The ory of the starving has been heard, and we have had pictures of destitution and minors too vivid and too accurate for us to remember without pain. If gloomy anticipations are ever justifiable, they are in these cases when we remember that neither lodia nor China, are more likely to enoape famine in this year than they have been in past years. We have not been famine stricken heres but we have felt much of the sadness, and mugh of the sorrow, and it is well that we have thus telt,

HOW IT 18 DINE.

Mr Dennys put it that the Reporters heard it, and that everybody at the table must have heard it,

Vincent insisted that he was ready for sea and must go away..

His Worship informed defendant that it was for the Magistrate to say whether or not defendant could go sway. This was a serious charge, though he did not think serious enough to justify the detention of the ship.

Vincent repeated that he had been put to much exponse and could not stay.

Mr Dennys then stated the charge, and expressed a belief that defendants would

admit it,

Vincent (to Mr Dennys): You don't know anything about it.

His Worship cautioned the defendant,

informing him that if he did not address the Beach, and the Pench only, he would be compelled to send him to Gaol

Mr Dennys again referred to the letters, and asked for a heavy punishment.

Vincent (who was with difficulty re- strained from arguing with complainant's counsel), in defence, admitted having as suulted Mr (uot Captain) Riddell; and a sou of a b and a skunk, he would do added that if Mr Riddell again called him

It is rumoured that the negotiation be- tween Hanabusa, the Japanese Envoy to Koren, and the Government of that country, is in such a state as will necessitate his lengthened stay there.

Certain officers of the Government pro- ceeded to Tokohama on the 25th instant to receive a German Prince who was expected to arrivo here. We have not heard of any such expected arrival and suppose that the native papers must have confused him with Lord Clarenco Paget or Mr Reed.

On the occasion of the Takebashi mutiny, two lieutenants of the Artillery of the Im- perial Guard, instead of fulfilling their duty by attempting to suppress the disturbance, conducted themselves pliction of duty rdly
