Total very important character indeed and one the use of which is apparent in every relation of life, It is related of Sir Edwin Landseer, that a pig 52-dealer of his acquaintance, once asked him if he knew the Quee. Why, yes," he answered everybody knows the Queen." But what the pig-dealer, meant, was not this general know- leilge which is common to all her subjects. but a speaking acquaintance. Being informed on this point, and asked why he raised the question, the pig-dealer replied, "well sir, you see there must be such a lot of pig-wash from Buckingham palace and them sort of place, most likely thrown away; and my missus and me thinks that if you would just tip a word or two to the Queen, who is a real kind lady, one and all says she would give her orders, and could fetch the wash away every week with my barrer." The man of pigs had gained a comprehensive perception of what the Chinese mean by, the character . t means to get some one elie to 'do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

THE RC. CHURCH PEWS.

The whole scheme of Chinese government, we
386 need not remind the reader, is a gigantic example of the employment of intermediaries. Not only 368 does the system involve gradations of extreme 356 elaboration, but the intervention of members of cach grade is a necessity for those who hope to rise from below. The relation between one who wishes to improve his official position, and the person through whom he hopes to accomplish ilis end, is the relation between the fish and the water; if the one dries up, the other dies,
SIR, Relative to your paragraph in a recent iue touching on the question of the hiring of church pews, allow me now to place my obiec tions before your readers.
It would seem as if some sires of Portuguese families here had nothing better to do than 110 engage in a fashionable' squabble for seats. Such 110 is the ardent devotion of these gentlemen that 109 they have carried their petty quarrels into the 108 church. It is a very common thing to see a 108 stranger who bas accidentally plumped on one of these varnished pews to find himself thrust bodily out of it the text minute, and I would like to ask those who have any control in the matter whether this practice has led to any good result.

If a man, as I trust, goca to church for the purpose of saying, his prayers, a seat anywhere 119 would sufficiently answer his purpose. As it is, 118 however, it seems to be a very pretty farce, and 117 as such it will probably continue.

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS,
EMPLOYMENT OF INTERMEDIARIES.. (Continued.)
In speaking of the peaceableness of the Chinese in describing what we have called 'social typhoons,' attention has been already called to the fact that Chinese society is very far from being in a state of equilibrium. The excessive solidarity of Chinese social life, the intricate and immun57 widely ramifying relationships, the compactness Staff Surgeon R. F.

These Vary from the merest 'trides, up to those Ba hurricanes which devastate homes, and reduce whole families to ruin, a result by no means 87ancommon.

The equivalent of intermediaries is essential to the foreigner in China, to a degree far beyond what is true of a native Chinese. Among the servants there is frequently, some one who is the medium through whom all orders are com- municated to the rest. Nothing can be done without him, elther by the other servants, or by the master. He may be dislocated from his position by a violent wrench, but as long as he holds it, he is supreme. The same phenomenon is seen in all kinds of commerce, where the tea guilds, ibe silk guilds, and other dealers come into connection with foreigners. In all such cases there is on the part of the Chinese that perfect solidarity of which we have so often had occasion to speak. Whenever the interests of the foreigner and those of his Chinese dealers come into collision, a dead- Jock ensues, and like other locks, this can be opened only by the key of the combination, which is always in the bands of the Chinese. Consider for a moment, whether the foreigner be a merchant, consul, missionary or traveller, bow very small a part of what he does in China, can be done effectively, not to say' done at all, without the assistance of some Chinese. Tò struggle against this inevitable necessity, is only to make, ourselves ridiculous, for we might as well resist the pressure of the atmosphere. Our skill will be shown, not in the attempt to dis- pense with the indispensable, but in the use of it to attain ends, which without this aid would have been unattainable,—N, C, Daily News.
THE " PREACHY MAN" OF THE ISLES.
Down among the sun-fit coral Isles of the great
|
South Sea the cause of Christianity keeps marching on. The cheap tomahawk trade is active, and copra is looking up, and there is a boom in coconuts, and firearms and run are in demand; and so long as all these great essentials of salvation are moving the cause of holiness will never die. "Gib it bacca 1" is the cry of the saved Islander-the whining, thieving, drinking, abject savage who, soaks himself in prayer and rum and Sunday-school and is the pride and ornament of the native mission, and this abared and wallowing disciple stands before the world as the choicest flower and product of the great system of which the white fellow preachy man is the founder. The South Sea Islands are the favourite home of the soi-disant Christian missionary. Far away in the remote and frozen, north the Green- lander feasts on bis whale fat and oil, and lives in his snow but, and shivers on the surface of his ice-bound seas, and the plous teacher leaves him to go to Sheel in his own way; and in a hundred other waste and barren places the idolator is being damned with palafal regularity, but as these places afford no scope for land-Jobbing, 86 rare, nor a literary degree, which la still rarer, and there, are no coceanuts to grab from the nor weight of years, although this may bellan faithful, and no sandal-wood or hides or frukte Important help, but the capacity to talk.
