on which he rests his case. The absurdity of an outsider trying to force a fragile exotic like international law, which being without roots can scarcely sustain its own weight in its own home, into the relations between old countries like China and Cores, must be patent to any person with the slightest sense of humour. But even on his chosen "quicksand Mr. Denny entirely falls to make out any case 'at all for the

Likewise her dainty figure and complexion.

The pamphlet of Mr. Denny, the advisor to His Majesty the King of Coren, presents some collateral points of interest apart from its main theme, which we disposed of some weeks ago. So long as the instrument remained hidden under ground, it had the portentous reputation which often surrounds occult potentialities, but like the organic poisons which, scientists tell us, are decomposed and rendered harmless by the nxygen of the atmosphere, this dynamite of Mr. Denny's is no sooner exposed to the light of day than it loses its lethal properties and becomes an innocent plaything,
|
There is something peculiarly unfortunate in the circumstances of Cores, that makes her politics the sport of every foreign dilettante. The King and Queen are scarcely treated with greater ceremony than those African sovereigns of whom we hear by every steamer, who become the puppets or the partisans of rival explorers. Every adventurer who alights on the coast seems to be seized with the idea that he, or she, is a discoverer of a country without a policy, and forthwith they set about providing one. Consuls and Consuls-General, forgetful of their limited
oblivious of their missions, all the oddities whom civilization throws off at a tangent from her busy wheels, who happen to have a taste for plotting, seem at once to set up shop with the stock-in-trade of a Corean policy of their own. And they work away at it with the zeal of an inventer working out a new patent. Of all this tribe Mr. Denny may be taken as the most favourable specimen, inasmuch as he is honest in intention and outspoken, and, if his attempt to carry the King on his back appears so ridiculous, we may be sure that the other intriguers would put a much more disgraceful figure if the light were let in on their proceedings as it has been let in by Mr. Denny on his Moral baseness and moral blindness amount to nearly the same thing, and whatever be the avowed intentions of the parasites who are demoralizing the Corean King, they are busy preparing the way for strife and bloodshed, merely to provide themselves with a game to play. Unhappy King to be saddled with such counsellors Chinese Times.

The second crop of rice is said to be very promising. This is good news, as the natives bitterly complain of bard times.
With the arrival of the little Fuh-Ching, the long intended line of steamers to run between
this and Wenchow, has now become an accom- plished fact. The pioneer steamer has already left for Wenchow with a full cargo and a crowd of passengers.
One of the most ruinous native lotteries, the Huak-hui, bas lately been established at this port, and we regret to fearn that numerous families have already been totally ruined. A married woman, who had saved a few thousand from needle-work, not only lost all she saved, but ber jewellery and clothing were also pawned to try her good luck. The nest of this lottery is said to be in some distant village, and agents are sent all over the country secretly selling tickets. The drawing takes place daily.'
We are glad to hear that some gun-boat officers who went up to Kushan recently were treated with the utmost civility by the priests, who, instead of trying to extort money as often was the case in late years, did not even ask for any money at all. It is evident that the whole some lesson taught these priests by the Russian Consul, has been thoroughly taken to heart, and we sincerely hope that foreigners will not spoil everything again by being extravagantly gene- rous when paying for the loan of the hall. A few years ago dollar was considered more than ample compensation, and it was only the brain less extravagance of a few foreigners that taught these priests a system of extortion which at last was put a stop to by the energetic action of the Russian Consul,

and the Italians are defeated, these hopes will be strengthened and emboldened, and in either case the Sacred College will probably choose one of its most uncompromising members. In these conditions Cardinal Monaco, the ideal CATHAY Pope of the majority of the Sacred College," would probably be chosen. Should very severe national disasters, bowever, bring the extreme wing of the Intransigeants to the fore, Cardinal puzzle" and "the leader of all that are most. immoderate among the flowers of the Vatican," would stand some chance. But if, in consequence of a great victory, or some other circumstance, the Sacred College should feel inclined to desist from the struggle for the temporal power, the choice would lie between thice men," saintly, pious, learned, and charitable," namely, Cardinal Sanfelice, Archbishop of Naples; Cardinal Alimonda, Archbishop of Turin; and Cardinal Hatinglini, Archbishop of Bologna. Among these the gentle, benevolent, and widely popular Battaglini stands conspicuous; but notwithstand- ing his great erudition, ability, and virus, it is admitted that the Archbishop of Bologna does not enjoy the sympathies of the,higher hierarchy, who are said to dislike him on account of his moderation and liberal-mindedness...
Such are the views of best informed of outsiders in Italy regarding the future history of the Papal power. It will have been seen that they involve a good many contingencies.
THE LUXURious romanS.
In "Society in Rome under the Caesars we find some particulars of the luxurious habits of the inhabitants of what was then the Empire city of the World. Their extravagant customs at the dinner table would seem to have been a leading feature in social life. Soon after rising a light breakfast, called jentaculum, consisting of bread, grapes, etc., was inken. Then followed a late 'dejeuner, or early lunch, at which meat, fish, eggs, etc., were placed on the table. The dinner (cena) began as early as 3 o'clock in the after- noon, and consisted of several courses. Eggs, shell-fish, of various kinds, fish, birds and vegetables, wild boar or other joints, hare, capons and fancy dishes of many kinds were commonly served up.
The meal was protracted for several hours. Pliny the elder, a man noted

It is obvious that we have here the habits of a thoroughly idle as well as wealthy and luxu- pious aristocracy. Business was over so early in the day that the whole afternoon and evening could be given up to amusement. An invitation to dinner was supposed to include the whole day from 3 o'clock or thereabouts till late at night. And this inordinate space of time seems reallyTHE MAN ON INSURANCE COMPANY, to have been spent, if not in actual cating and drinking, yot, generally in reclining at table. When we remember that a fairly substantial meal, the prandium, had shortly preceded the dinner, we must admit that the amount of food consumed seems to be excessive.

To turn from the quantity to the quality of the food consumed, we ate less struck by the variety and costliness of the viands than by the vulgar ostentation which showed itself in providing them. Dishes had a fictitious value through their rarity. Thus a mullet, which when of ordinary size was cheap, commanded some- times as much as 6,000 sesterces when it attained an unusual weight. Wild boars were served up whole. "Peacocks, though not of very good flavor, were placed on the table with their tails spread. Dishes composed of the livers or brains alone of some bird or animal were much prized, chiefly on account of their extravagant costliness. A banquet was not a success unless it was the talk of the town. The greater the waste, the more absurd the extravagance of the feast, the more certain was the giver to win the notoriety be coveted.

Mr. Denny is by no means the first satellite of China which has run into wild and wayward courses in Cores. It was from the observed aberrations of Uranus, we believe, that a French and an English astronomer deduced the existence of a hitherto unknown planet of immense volume on the outermost circle of the solar system, and the telescope soon after proved that their calcula tions were correct. Is there some such silent, secret, but potent disturbing element which causes these emissaries from China, one after another, to deviate from their proper orbit Some more exact data may perhaps enable the great unknown to be localized, and the question is not devoid of interest. The pamphlet throws Do light whatever on the subject; indeed, the preamble sets out with a proposition to parallel which we should have to search act the realm of the operation of known physical laws, but the veracious history of Alice in Wonderland; where everything was upside down.
