is apparently no marked diminution in the number of Ancestral Halls, the existence of which all over the land serves as an indica- tion of the vitality of the State Roligion, yet, nevertheless, the more the country is permeated with Western knowledge the moro are the minds of the educated class becoming alienated from the teachings to which before unquestioning obedience was accorded..
The reason for this state of things it is not dificult to comprehend. It is gradual- ly dawning upon the educated young men of China that a knowledge of the Confucian classics is no longer what it was from a com mercial point of view. And the com prehension of this fact, while human nature is what it is, is sufficient to account for the diminishing interest that is being taken in the acquisition of Confucian learning. At the same time, however, it would not bo fair to assume that it is altogether due to this, for it must be adinitted that, ns, the broader and deeper knows

DIRECTIONS.
As the narrow part of the deep water channel across the Woosung Outer Bar is abreast of the Lismore Wreck Light-boat, extending from 2 cables outside to 2 cables inside of her, inward bound vessels can afford to open the leading marks to the northward as soon at they are 2 cables inside the Light-boat.
Outward bound vessels should steer to pass cable off the Fort Buoy, and then gradually come on to the line of leading

CAUTION.
There is from 2 to 3 feet less water than that signalled between the 10-foot buoy off the Woosung Spit and a point 700 feet north of the Lismore Wreck Light-boat Vessels taking up an anchorage outside Woosung are requested to avoid to doing near the line of the Oater Bar Leading Marks

The question, however, as to whether the decadence of Confucianism will prove to bo beneficial to the Chinese depends on what is to be substituted in its place. It does not appear to ho at all certain that the Chinese, who are breaking away from Confucianian are inclined, at least to any marked extent, to embrace the doctrines and ethical teachings of Christianity in its place, and if this be a correct diagnosis of the case, the outlook is not by any means a very hopeful one. Any religion is per haps, better than none, and for the Chinese peuple to discard, to any considerable ex- tent, the ethical teaching of their great Sage, without attempting to substitute for them a higher and Fobler faith, would

I shrieked aloul in horror, and the ruffian bolted from the room as if he had been shot. Jumping out of! hed I began to dress hastily to report theį alarming occurrence to the hotel manager, when a glance in the mirror showed my face smothered with lather, and a suspi eion began to dawn on me that the rascal had only been trying to shave me, after all. This proved to be the case. It seems that my.,predecessor in the room had been in the habit of being shaved in bed early overy morning, and as he had departed suddenly the day before without giving notice to the native barber, bo (the barber of-course) had come as usual, and had in his ignorance placidly set to work on me until my screams scared him out of the

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The fact that the new Filipino dollar is to be a coin of the same weight and fineness as the British dollar coined at the Bombay mint, and circulated in the Straits Settle- ments, Hongkong and Southern China, may tend, it is said in the 'Journal' of the American Asiatic Association, to facilitate the international agreement which is being sought after in regard to the regulation of oxchange hetwcon the gold standard countries and those of Eastern Asia. In the present movement to introduce stability into the value of the silver coins of Indo-China, Siam, and British Malaya there is a notable absence of any genoral understanding as to the coinage valuo whic is to be placed on a certain number of grains of silver. The most competent French authorities, are in favour of fixing the exchange value of the pinatra at f.2 c.30 to f.2 c 40, while the latest sugges tions from the mercantile community of the Straits Settlements apparently con- templates the adoption of 40 cents, as the equivalent of the British dollar. But it may be found, before long, that 22d. por ounce is too low an average for the price of the white metal. On the whole, the basis adopted in the Philippines of making the dollar of 416 grains, fine, worth 50 cents in exchange value, seems both a convenient arrangement and one possessing a fair pro

Another Insurrection
Threatened.
(From Our Ovm Correspondent.)
MANILA, April 1.
I have just been informed that yester- day the various Consuls in Manila received copies of a very imposing-looking docu ment, sealed and signed by officials of the Katipuneros' (the name of the old insur rectionist secret society) advising that this Society had been re-formed, and that, driven to desperation by the cruelties and injustice of the Americans, there would be a general uprising very shortly. The Con- suls were therefore informed that as they (the Katipuneros) did not wish in any way to interfere with the lives and property of
foreigners, advice would be given to the subjects of the different nations to have their national flag conspicuously displayed
on their places of abode !
