Progressive Japan has forestalled her lethargic neighbour in that significant movement which follows the awakening of a nation's soul,-the search. ing for a religion. A Commission of Japanese theologians was organised some time ago to study all the religious creeds ia vogue in Europe and throughout the civilised world, and to report thereon to the Government, which had hit upon the plan of substituting the meagre rites of ancestor- worship by some of the many forms of Western religion. Up to the present lime we have not heard anything about the progress or the conclusion of the Japanese 'Commission's labours, and we need not be surprised at the delay; for the subject of inquiry is almost illimitable, and the debates which it might engender among the corpus theologicum of Dai Nippon, and their countless dependants, would be enough to retard their work for another century

to come.

It consists of property in various parts of the Colony, worth altogether three or four hundred ago, when Tam A Choi climbed the golden stair, thousand dollars. It got into Court ten years and has been dragging on ever since, until now the original legatees, the aons, are dead, and their widows carry on the litigation against each other. To-day the Court was occupied for seven hours in hearing a motion made on behalf of Tam Kwang Shi, widow of one of the sons, Tam Kun Ping, for a re-adjustment of the accounts of the estate, on the ground that the Registrar hadn't made them up right. Mr. who had fortified himself with a wig and a glass Robinson, who was instructed by Mr. Holmes, and of water, was the pleader for the almond-eyed appellant, who mopped her eyes all through the hearing whilst the case was watched by Mr. Hastings, Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Deanys, and Mr.
