This sphere of the Commit bes's action covers probably every corner of the earth's surface whither Chinese have gone to live and to die, Agencies of the Hospital exist in every Country to which Chinese go,, tad money is collected from the passengers of every ship taking emigrants from this Colony the motive power exercised being more the transport of the dead was the cure of the living. Little ob- jection, bowever, can be taken to tuke feature of the Committee's work, as the desire to repose in the bosom of his native earth is one of the strangest long- ings of the Chinese soul. To be buried with their fathers, the Chinaman is pre pared to sacrifice much that is dear to him during life. At the same time, it cannot be denied that the report of its Hospital working might be more fully given than it is. All that is vouchsafed is the amoust expended for the upkeep of the Hospital; and while that is put down (roughly) at say la. 10,000, the corporation to waxing rich, and has oredit balones of Tis. 87902, or a sum of over $120,000. The feat that tie. Hospital Corporation is now owning house property to a considerable amount is not a thing which in itself is objec- tionable, so lung is the proper work of the Hospital is faithfully carried out. The interest in the Colony, which is thus inada în a certain manner perun Dent, leads to increase the hold which the Hospital has upon the native publis; and if such guidance and control as we have suggested were but exercised over the Cuinmittee's action by the local Go verainect, all the prosporcus features of the Corporation might be viewed with
