It interests me intensely to end' that at this eventful era in the Jewish world, at the close of eighteen centuries of Messiah's rule on earth, that this remnant of the tribe of Asher should so suddenly and effectually disintegrate. I hope yet to meet some of these scattered Israchten. I can not now, however, plan for a return to Kai- feng Fu at an early date. In coming away. we tried another city gate, but was again repulsed, and shown a notice that each of the five gates had my name and description, and were prepared to incet any adroit or forced attempt at entrance on my parts Under these circumstances I thought it best to take the matter patiently, remembering what the Chinese often meet in America, and what I should experience if I attempted to go undisguised into Mecca and other places guarded for outsiders. The Manchu was told that two of these people (the Jews) had gone away, it was believed to Shanghai.

Without doubt, thero-must-even-in. the best regulated families be many occasions for well grounded complaints, and mutual recriminations. The younger generation of children furnish prolific source of domestic unpleasantness, Troubles of this nature are far from being vucommon in well ordered homes in Western Janke how much more in the complex and Compact life of the Chinese. It is a generalisation of antiquity that the weaker goes to the wall'; but where as in China, the weak are extremely weak, and the strongxtremely strong, it is accessary f the preservation of society, that
_fur when the stronger has actually pusher the wenker to the wall, the former should be prevented from crushing the latter to a pulp. The means by which the, Chinese seek to accomplish this end, are two-fold, the Row am the Peace-talker. The term. Row,' is adopted, not as an adequate, but as perhaps the least inadequate equivalent for the Chinese phanie, ta ch'ao zu. The inherent idea in This expression, is that of clamour, disturbance, of uproar. The instinct the Anglo-Saxon who who has a grievance, is to get it redressed, and to panish, if he can, the person to whom the grievance is due. The fistinct of the Oriental shi of the Chinese among the rest, is first of all to let the world at large know that he has a grievance. In Dickens" " "American Notes," is a description of a journey taken more than forty years ago, across the Alleghany Mountains to the Ohio river. The unhappy passengers who should have been transferred to two canal bots, were, in the most unjustifiable manner, all crowded, upor one boat. The travellers hu see, like the Americans whom Mr. Heber Spencer saw forty years later, to have heen too i
indolent to claim their rights-made no other remonstrance, than the very negative one at gambling One tall figure, however, appeared upon the ileck, striding back and forth, address ing his remarks to no one in particular but rather to the Universe at large. He cleft path among the people on deck, and soliloquised as follows," This may suit you, this, may, but it don't suit me. This may be all very well with down-ensters, and men of Boston raising. but it won't suit my figure nohow; and no two ways about that; and so I tell you. Now I'm from the brown forests of Mississippi, Tam, and when the sun shines on me, it does shine a little, it don't gliminer where I live, the sun don't. No. I ann brown' forester, I

No. This company wants a little fixing, it does. I as the wrong sort of man for them, I am. They won't like me, they won't. This is piling of it up a litle too in tuitious, this is" "It's impossible," says Mr. Dickens, "for me to say what terrific meaning was hidden in the words of this brown forester, but I know that the other passengers looked on in a sort of admiring horror, and that presently the boat was put back to the what." This "brown forceter" although hailing from. Mississipi, was in temperament on iental. He had discovered, as all Orientals have done ages ago, that a grievance, like any other commodity, diminishes by being shared with others. "It is on this principle, that a Chinese who has been wronged, will go upon the street and roar at the top of his voice. This peripuinance, is called bawling a krievance (hanyan), or ballooing the street (Ann chih). A small bay sent out to gather manure, leaned his fork against a building and went inside. When he came out, his fork was gone, and he began to weep bitterly. Have you hallooed ?" he was asked, "Go and halloo," He accordingly posted himself upon the edge of the crowded fair: Found screamed as one..

The uf haileving, is very seldom dissociated from another art, which the Chinese have carried to a degree of perfectian, known only among Orientals -the art of reviling.

begins, abusive words of this sort are heard, poured forth in a filthy stream, to which nothing in the English language offers any parallel, and with a virulence and pertinacity suggestive of the fish-women of Billingsgate. The merest contact is often sufficient to elicit a torrent of this invective, as a touch induces the electric spark, and it is in constant and almost universal use by all classes and both sexes, always and everywhere. It is a common com plaint list women die even viler language than inch, and that they continue it longer, justifying the aphorism, that what Chinese women have lost in the compression of their feet, seems to have been made up in the volubility of their Longues... Children just learning to falk, learn this abusive dialect from their parents and often employ it towards them, which is regarded as extremely amusing. The use of this language has become to the Chinese a kind of second nature. It is confined to, no class of society, Literary graduates, and official of all tanks up to the very highest, when provoked, use it as freely ds their coolies. It is even used by common
people on the street, nu a kind of bantering salutation, and as such is returned in kind. N. C. Daily Newṛ.

Kai-lag Fu, Capital of Honan. This city, one of my objective points upon leaving Peking five weeks ago, is at length reached. The road from Tsi-ming chow has been the opposite of flood and inundation. The leading to the Yellow Sea due east, has been dry and cultivated as farming land for long years. There were no houses or walls to be seen in this long narrow valley which the retired river has made for it is probable that the people fear a return some time of the water. There were no little streams or lakes to refresh the eye on the way. The road is not one of great traffic, and a foreigner was a rare sight. People constantly enquired whether I was going to the break in the Yellow River, about forty miles west of Kal-feng Fu. There is a relief station for those' driven out of home by the

EXPERIENCES IN SEEKING FOR THE JEWS AT KAI-FENG FUS
In the middle of May I visited the City of Kai-feng Fu, the capital of Honan province, where Jews are reputed to have been for hundreds of years. With two Chinese companions I reached, the east suburb of the city in the. evening, after the gates of the city, were shut By sunrise the next morning two of us were ready to enter the city, and in a few steps from the inn where we had spent the night we were upon it and were quietly entering when stopped by the guard and forbidden entrance, I returned to the inn, and allowed the Manchu with me to go alone to investigate the matter of the present condition of

He learned of a family named Chao, who were said to be of this gect, and intra- ducing himself made enquiries. The old lady and her son and daughter-in-law composed the family. The house was a little to the cast of the synagogue grounds, nod they probably were the ones, if any, who would be able to give information of the place. The woman, however, - spoke of God as heaven.
