of the Cabinet, and, under escort of the polier, proceeded to the Vice-President's residence Vice-President Morton entered President Harri- son's carriage and the procession moved down 'to St. Paul's Church. At the Vedey-street gate the party was met by the committee of the vestry of Trinity Church and the President was con ducted to the Washington pew. The edifice was filled with the wealthiest and most promin ent people in the country.
During the service the new British Minister occupied a seat in the pew allotted to the diplo matic corps. The Spariish Minister sat near him. The President and Vice-President oc cupied the large pew midway up the side aisle under the south gallery..
After the singing of hymns and the reading of appropriate selections from the Scriptures, Bisbop Potter delivered an eloquent address After dwelling on the exalted character of Washington, especially the deep religious feet. ing which governed him, as shown on the day of his inauguration, when he came worship in this very church, the speaker touched upon the Constitution of the United States and the vast work which had brought its members Into one body. The Bishop then said "But it is a somewhat significant in part fact that it is not along lines such as these that the enthusiasm which has flamed out during these recent days and weeks as this anniversary approached, seemed to move. One thing has, I imagine, amazed a good many cynical and pessimistic people among us; that is the way in which the ardor of a great people's love and homage and gratitude bave kindled not before the image of mechanism, but of man; that it celebrates the beginning of an administra. tion which, by its lofty and stainless integrity, by its absolute superiority to selfish or secondary motives, by the rectitude of its daily conduct in the face of whatsoever threats, blandishments or combinations-rather than by the ostentatious phariseeism of its professions-bad taught this nation and world forever what Chistian rule of a Christian people ought to be.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, MAY

in their erucity. It is popularly believed by the Chinese that the Mohammedans in China are more cruel than the Chinese themselves. How ever this may be, there can be no doubt in the mind of any one who knows the Chinese, that they display an indifference to the sufferings of others, which is probably not to be matched any other civilised country. That children home are almost wholly ungoverned, has been already mentioned. Yet the moment their career of education is begun, the reign of Vast crowds occupied the neighbourhood. At

pression of the extreme disgust which such in. convenient attacks excite. It is not difficult to perceive that mothers who can best children because they fall into convulsions, will treat any of their children with cruelly, when irritated by special provocation. The lot of Chinese con- cubines is one of exceeding bitterness. The homes in which they are to be found-happily relatively few in number-are the scenes of in cessant bickerings, and open warfare. One of the last periodicals which has come to hand con- tains an article by a resident of China of wide xperience containing the following passage: "The magistrate of the city in which I live was a waliby man, a great scholar, a doctor of literature, an able administrator, well acquainted with all the good teachings in the classics; but he would lie, and curse, and rob, and torture people to any extent to gratify his evil, passions. One of his concubines ran away; she was esptured, brought back, stripped, hung up to a beam by her feet, and cruelly and severely beaten." The Governor of Honan, in a memorial published in the Peking Gazelle a few years ago, showed incidentally that while there is responsibility in the eye of the law for the murder of a child by a parent, this is rendered sugatory by the provision that even if a married woman should wilfully and maliciously murder her young daughter-in- law the murderess may ransom herself by A money payment. The case reported was that in which a woman had burned the girl who was reared to become her son's wife with incense sticks, then roasted-her cheeks with red-hot pincers, and finally boiled her to death with kettles full of scalding water. Other similar instances are referred to in the same memorial, the source of which places its authenticity beyond doubt. Such extreme barbarities are probably rare, but the cases of cruel treatment which are so aggravated as to lead to suicide, or to an attempt at suicide, are so frequent as to excite little more than passing comment. The writer is personally acquainted with many families in which these occurrences have taken place, and even while these lines are committed to paper, details of an other instance are given by a mother, who wishes for sympathy in her trouble, In this. case, the mother-in-law, whose family consisted only of herself, her son and her son's wife, exercised such a tyranny over the two latter, that they were never allowed to eat or to sleep together. If the son wished to please his mother, be did so by beating his wife. The latter being accused of having appropriated to her own use a skein of thread which did not belong to her, was so abused la consequence, that she threw herself into a well, whence she was rescued by her husband. Her mother brought her to the foreign house in which the mother was employed as nurse, and the daughter having passed a few days in this seclusion, remarked, with a bitter reference to her previous abode, that "it was so peaceful that it seemed like heaven"! The woes of daughters-in-law in China should form the subject rather for a chapter than for a brief paragraph. When it is remembered that all Chinese women marry, and generally marry young, being for a considerable part of their lives under the absolute control of a mother-in-law, some faint conception may be gained of the intolerable miseries of those daughters-in-law who live in families where they are abused. Parents can do absolutely nothing to protect their married daughters, other thanremon- strating with the families into which they have married, and exacting an expensive funeral, the daughters should be actually driven to suicide. If a husband should seriously injure, or even kill his wife, he might escape all legal conse- quences, by representing that she was "unfilial" to his parents. Suicides of young wives are, we must repeat, excessively frequent, and in some regions scarcely a group of villages can be found where they have not recently taken place. What can be more pitiful than a mother's reproaches to a married daughter, who has attempted suicide and been rescued; "Why didn't you Bie when you had a chance ?"
"The conception of the national Government as a huge macbine existing mainly for the purpose of rewarding partisan service was, at conception sa alien to the character and conduct of Washington and his associates that it seems grotesque even to speak of it. It would be interesting to imagine the first President of the United States confronted with some one who had ventured to approach him upon the basis of what are now known as practical politics, but the conception is impossible."
The Bishop here quoted from a letter of Washington to a friend who sought a pledge of office during the campaign, refusing any such pledge, and declaring that neither tles of blood nor of friendship when in office would sway his Judgment. The speaker then proceeded to contrast such political methods with those of to day in scathing language, and declared: "We bad exchanged Washingtonian dignity for Jeffersonian simplicity, which was in truth only another name for Jacksonian vulgarity," The speaker then closed with a prayer that the nation be led to follow Washington's noble Christian example..
After the ceremonies in the church were concluded the Presidential party, escorted by the committee, was driven to the Sub-Treasury bullding, where the literary exercises of the day were held.

In two instances they were bound as a preliminary, and in one case the pit was actually dug, and in all cases the burial was only pie vented by the intervention of some older member of the family of the attacking party.

MORGANATIC MARRIAGES.
*There are some crimes committed in China for which the perpetrators are often not prosecuted before a magistrate, partly an account of the difficulty and the expense of securing a convic tion, and partly because of the shame of publicity, Many cases of adultery are thus dealt with, by. the law of private revenge. In such cases the offender is attacked by a large band of men, on the familiar Chinese principle that when there are many persons, their prestige is great.' Some times the man's legs are broken, sometimes bis arms, and very often his eyes are destroyed by rubbing into them quick-lime. The writer has known several instances of this sort, and they are
