subject, Mr. Shioda made a few more remaiks which are worth reproducing here as they are hghly interesting. He said-Towards the 4th year of Gen Kel (Yuan Ching), correspond- ing to 880 years A.D., one of the Imperial Princes of the Emperor Hei Jo (Ping Chêng) named. (Kao-yuch-chin-wang) who came to China and resided for over 20 years in the city of Ch'ang-An, the ancient capital of the Tang lynasty, had conceived the ides, in order to complete bis study of Buddhism, of undertaking THE GRAND CONGLOMERATION PAID UP CAPITAL

(India) was then called Wu Tien Chu), But unfortunately when he reached as far as Lo Yuch Kwo (ancient state lying in the eistern_part Nepaul or somewhere be tween Burma and Nepaul) he met with an accident and died (history, says he was attacked by a tiger). Although, as is already known, many missions were sent to this country, for the pur pose of studying Buddhism from distinguished Chinese priests, notably under the Tang dynasty, the above is the only one instance of a Japanese mission attempting to reach fadin by the over- land route through the south-west of China.

belongings to their homes, hoping to get some thing to eat till the wheat is ripe. Such persons beg the privilege of occupying any untenanted buildings, such as cart-sheds, &c, and many of them make their abode is temples. By day they roam about in bands of considerable ste, and it is greatly to the credit of the Chinese that they have given food so liberally to support so many persons In many cases, however, there is much disturbance, because the number of upplicants for food is so great that it would require all the time of one person le wall on them. At the present stage, the aid afforded by foreigners must be very slight to each applicant or it will have the inevitable effect of massing a great body of most distressing cases, which there is no adequate means of relieving, and the Chinese will promptly withdraw from their previous generosity, on the ground that if the rich foreigners take it up it is useless for natives to trouble themselves about the matter. Aside from the usual sporadic relief, which the Chinese annually extend to all applicants on the bighth of the twelfth moon, we hear of very little done for the swarms of lamishing refugees, At the provincial capital there is a yearly attempt to do a little toward relieving a small part of the misery which is collected there. In the sub-prefecture of To Chou, at the north-sent time thinking it may be of interest as this west corner of the province, there are two is not much known even among the literary relief yards each year, but the number relieved societies. appears to be a fixed one, and it is complained that the gruel is so thin that it is not sufficient to support life, and many who have gone there prefer to take their chancer in ordinary begging. At Tung S'ing Chou, in the prefecture of Ti The major accomplishment, if I may so An, there is another establishment of this sort, translate it, is that part of the Buddhist doctrine where wheat cakes have been served out, With which exclusively comprises the philosophical these exceptions we do not hear of any organised system of teaching, or in other words, the relief, though it is quite possible that there may principle of instruction by the process of rational be other places of the same sort.

lack 'of communication between adjacent parts of the same province, that nothing whatever is known in this region as to what may be taking place only a hundred miles to the south. The proclamations which were issued in the late Autumn forbidding the expon of grain to other districts were of course enforced for a short time, and as is usual in such cases were made the basis for exactions by the yamên underlings from grain merchants. But at pre- sent it does not appear that any attention is paid to them. The singular absurdity of such pro- clamations, from the point of view of political economy, does not strike the Chinese, who never heard of political economy. But the practical incompatibility with the classical dictum that within the Four Seas all are brethren, is obvious to the dutiest intellect. The principle that every tub must stand on' its own bottom is a well recognised basis of Chinese society. A man who calls himself a scholar from the province of Honan, and who lives within seventy or eighty miles of the great breach, was asked the other day as to the progress of Wu Ta-ch'èng in his arduous task, and replied simply that he knew nothing whatever a cut it, as he had never thought to inquire. Yet his home was in a farge market-town at which all supplies for the river works, coming from the north, must be debarked.

The winter has fortunately not been a severe one, and there have been several falls of snow, 50 that the prospect for the next wheat crop is 'excellent.—N, C. Daily News,

BUDDHISM.

(A paper read by Mr. Shioda, Japanese Minister to Peking, before the Peking Oriental Society.)

The Buddhist religion was introduced into Japan for the first time by the Corean mission Beat by the King of Hink-Sai Pai-chi (Corea was divided at that time into three little King doms viz: Kau Li, Pai-chi, and Sin-lo) in the 13th year of the Emperor Kin-mei Ching-ming corresponding to 552 years A.D. The chief of the mission was a man named Nuri-su-chi who brought over with him an image of Buddha together with many Buddhist books translated into Chinese. Thus the introduction. of that religion into Japan took place 487 years later than in Chins, where it was introduced in the reign of the Emperor Ming of the dynasty How- han, corresponding to 65 years A.D. Cores wIS at that bistorical epoch in many other respects in the position of à medium of communication between Japan and China unili Japan had begun to communicate directly with China

The Corean Mission' above mentioned came over to Japan with the obfect of strongly recom mending the Emperor Kia-mei to adopt Bud dhism as a national religion, as they stated that they were fully convinced as to the superiority of that religion over any other that might exist in this world, and of which even such great men Chaw Kung, or Confucius, never had any conception. It is therefore, said they, destined In the future to become the universal" faith from which an unbounded amount of all kinds of happiness is to be bestowed upon the whole of mankind.

The Emperor was highly gratified with the recommendation set forth by that Mission, but not without much hesitation began taking the decisive steps for adopting it..

I mention this historical incident at the pre-

The religion of Buddhism is, as is already known, divided into two broad and general lasses of (Ta-chéng) Major accomplishment, (Siao-chèng) Minor Accomplishment.

Hence this part of the Buddhist religion was only attainable by those who had already gone through the preliminary instruction in the minor in uniform, 20 Cents part of the principles and is therefore more suited to highly educated minds, being in such a state as to be fully prepared to grasp the most subtle and intricate reasoning,

Whilst the minor part includes those which are much simpler in their nature, and is there. fore, naturally suited for easy comprehension by uneducated minds which require no reasoning, but simply to follow the precepts in which they are taught; as to believe in the existence of the future world, such as Paradise or the future abode full of promise of sensial pleasure, to be given as a recompense to those who while they were in this actual world behaved through- out in a righteous manner; and Hell wherein every sort of imaginable torture is inflicted on the souls of those..who, being marked with wickedness in their conduct while alive, are condemned to deserve eternal punishment. The former aims at leading mankind to the highest degree of morality by means of profound and argumentative persuasion or philosophical process, if I may call it so, while in the latter The same object is saught by means of compul. sion or fear to be imprinted on the mind, by picturing to itseif some state of eternal punish- inent awaiting them in the world to which they may be supposed to go after death for the vices they bad committed white alive. Such is a rough outline I have tried briefly to sketeb showing the historical facts connected with Buddhism in our country as well as the broad divisions existing in that religion.

THE MARIA CHRISTINA CIGAR FACTORY.

1

THE Melbourne Argus, referring to the Tobacco exhibits in the Melbourne Exhibition, thus descibes the exhibit of the above factory

In the minor courts proper there is a stead of Manila cigars, for which Mr. Matthew Mitchell, of Gordon-buildings, Flinders-lane, is the Melbourne agent, being the Maria Christina Factory, established in Santa Cruz in 1883, and following also closely upon the Government relinquishing the monopoly in cigars. Of the 25 brands of cigars, ranging in value (wholesale, of course) from $50 to $7 per thousand, the company divide their cigars into two classes, the one of a dozen brands being endosed in a spiral wrapper, while in the other thirteen the wrapper is laid on straight. The first lot include all the more expensive cigars, seven of the dezen, which are all packed in boxes of 50 each,

varying in price from $10 to $50 per thou:

sand. The finest cigars sent by the company to Melbourne are the Alfonsinos, and after it in order cone Primos de Estella, Breves de Perez, Imperiales de Estrada, and Regalias de Jimeno. The Primos de Estella are the heaviest cigars made by the company, a thousand of them turn- ing the scale at 2216. Spanish weight. The ordinary trade cigars are very attractively dis- played in this case, and, as far as appearances indicate meri, there would seem to be little

room for choice, as much the same trouble has been taken with them as with the more expen- sive brands. The variety of the patterns in the case is not less noticeable than the sameness in colour and shape of cigars from the same box and bundle, showing that the labour is expert and the sorting cleverly done. In the 13 brands, varying in price from 9 to 16 dollars per thou- sand, there is wide room for choice without any material alteration in prices. In buying whole. sale, however, the cost varies very materially in proportion as the number of cigars in each box is increased. Cigars which in the price list of the company cost $14 per thousand in boxes. of 100 each are reduced to $10 per thousand when the number in each box is încreased to goo: The whole of the cigars in the case are made entirely from the Manila leaf grown by the Company. Two of the brands, Leoneses and Moriones de Oroquiels, each quoted at $20 per thousand, are said to correspond very closely with the quality of good Havannahs.

Meisn. BRANDAO & Co., of this Colony, are the local Agents for this factory, and have samples of all the different brands.
