The province of Hunan has

YOCHOW

Yochow, with a population of 15,000 to 20,000, is situated in latitude 29°23′ N., and longitude 113 8′ E. (Greenwich), at the outlet of the Tungting Lake. l'ast it ebbs and flows practically the whole of the trade of Hunan, which, however, adds nothing to the prosperity of the place, as it simply passes by after having paid its inward änd outward taxes. The city is the gateway of the province and nothing more.

Dee to foreign commerce what Tibet is to the explorer-- a Forbidden Land—and its importance has loomed up to the mind with all the charm of the unknown. Its people, too, have had a reputation for savage ferocity beyond all other Chinese. The people are certainly independent, and are anti-foreign with all the feeling caused by the undoubted valour of the myriads of soldiers they have supplied to the Empire during the last forty years, and by the dense ignorance created by their haughty seclusion; but a recent traveller in Hunan, a missionary of over thirty years experience, has returned deeply impressed with their manly and self- respecting character, and other missionaries hold the same opinion. They are intensely patriotic, but their patriotism is rather for Hunan than for the Empire at large.
