his terrible' tribunal must be the constant witness, to pass the entrance of that prison without a shudder. Nothing so illustrates the proposition that though the Chinese have bowels 'they certainly have no mercies, as the deliberate, routine cruelty with which all Chinese prisoners are treated, who cannot pay for their year, since the exemption. It is less than preas of Shanghai chronicled the infliction upon two old prisoners in the yamen of the district of that city, of a sentence for levying blage trail of a sew prisoner. They received between two thousand and three thousand blows with the bamboo, and had their ankles broken with an iron hammer. Is it strange that the Chinese adage advises the dead to keep out of hell and the living to keep out of yamêns?*
Since the preceding paragraphs were written, an unexpected confirmation of some of the state ments made, has appeared, from a most unim- GREAT EARTHQUAKE AT MANILA. peachable source. The following is an extract from a translation of the Peking Gazette of Feb. 7th, 1888. Comment is superfluous-
The Governor of Ylinnan states that in. some of the country districts of that province the villagers have a horrible custom of burning to death any many caught stealing corn, or fruits in the fields. They at the same time compel the man's relations to sign a document giving their consent to what is done, and then make them Hght the fire with their own hands, so as to deter them from lodging a complaint after- wards. Sometimes the horrible penalty is exacted for the breaking of a single branch or stalk, or even false accusations are made and men put to death out of spite. This terrible practice, which seems incredible when heard, put into use during the time of the Yunnan rebellion; and the constant efforts of the authorities have not succeeded in extirpating it since. Lost autumn a case of the kind occurred in the Chiching Pielacture.. One evening a man named Peng Chao-sheng was going down to watch his own field. His path led him along the side of a patch of maize belonging to another. man. As he passed he pulled off a head of corn. The owner saw him and shouted out, upon which he dropped the com and fled. The owner went and told his landlord, upon which the later proposed that the pilferer should be burned. The two men having agreed, next morning they laid the matter before an assembly of the advised that it should be let drop, but their opinion villagers. As the matter wys so trifling, some was not listened to. On the following day the two mea reized their victim and bound him. The poor man's mother came with all her relations and begged for mercy. She offered to make'atene
Advices from Manila report that a terrible earthquake visited that city at 2 a.m.on Sunday morning last, considerably surpassing in duration and violence the great one of 1880, but, fortun" ately, without doing anything like so much damage. It occurred, of course, without giving the slightest warning, and shook all the houses in a most appalling way. The inmates rushed into the streets, shrieking and praying, our correspondent saying that the scene passed des- cription. The ships in the Harbour seemed to be violently struck, but probably this was the vibration of the cables. Both ashore and afloat
people were turned quite sick with the undulating motion. The wave lasted eighty seconds-ten seconds longer than the disastrous tremblement de terre referred to--but the oscil Jation was all one way, and comparatively few houses fell. The extent of injury is not stated.

a stranger, a travelling doctor, who cannot be identified, to write the required paper for her. They then piled up a heap of brushwood in an emply place outside the village, and the next day at noon carried the man out and laid him bound upon it. The woman was compelled to set fire to the faggots, and her son was burnt to death, Afterwards, as soon as she could, she stole away to the town and gave, information to the authorities. The two men were immediately arrested. One of them, the landlord, died in prison, but the other was, sent to the provincial capital for trial.. The memorialist finds that in the fifteenth year of Chien Lung (A.D. 1750), at the request of the Governor of Szechuan, it was decreed that in the case of any person being burnt to death by a body of men, the principal offender should be executed by the fingering process and participants in the crime be be headed. The landlord, who in this case was the principal, has already died. His Tellow offender has been condemned to immediate deca- pitation, and the sentence has been carried into effect without delay.

The following incident will illustrate the subject only too well. It happened in a village within tea iniles of which the writer lived for many years. The details were furnished by a resident of an adjacent village, himsell a participator in some of the preliminary proceedings. Although it occurred thirty years ago, it is fresh in the memory of all the survivors of that generation for a distance of twenty miles around. The occurrence itself has given occasion to a rhymn ing proverb, constantly quoted. There is no doubt of any of the facts, though it is to be hoped that they are not easily to be matched, but on this point' it is not possible to be sure. A man named Wang was notorious as a 'blackleg,' and a bad character. He lived in criminal intimacy with his son's wife. He had incurred the enmity of all his neighbours far and near. But he was rich. He was the proprietor of a cash-shop in the district city, and was at the head of the local troops, liable to be summoned by the district magistrate. He was a person of such impor. tance, that when his mother died, the district magistrate himself attended the funeral, wrote on the tablet of the deceased the dot which allers the character for King' into the character for 'Lord, and also assisted at the sacrifices to the dead. A protige of this man Wang got into a' dispute about a basket-full of manure, which he had agreed to buy, but which some one clac secured instead. The total value of the material was about fifteen cents. Having reviled the man who had bought his load of manure, the protégé was beaten. He fled to the man Wang who at once took up his defence, and with the village braves, attacked the family of the man who had beaten his protégé, in Bicting severe injuries. The clan to which this family belonged, named Li, in a large onc, and resolved to avenge the insult They stealthily assembled time after time, only to find that their enemy had been warned, and secreted himself in the city, at his shop. After more than a year had elapsed, a secret message was brought to the Li family, that their enemy' bad ventured to visit his home. He was attacked at daybreak, and after a long resistance the honie was broken into. Wang fought with fury being a man of great strength and a graduate in military practice (Wu Hoiu-is'ai). But he was overpowered by numbers, tied securely, and carried to a short distance from his home, his body covered with more than three hundred wounds, thany of them severe. At first he had defied his assailants, reviling them with extreme bitterness, but finding himself at their mercy, he begged to be spared, offering any satisfaction which they might demand. But they were so thoroughly exasperated by his long and to famous career, as well as by his stout resist ance, that they refused to listen to a word, and deliberately proceeded dig his eyes out with a bamboo scraper. Finding this indequate to their purpose, a pair of scissors was procured, thrust into each eye, and worked around, like a pestle in a mortar, until it was supposed he was forever incapacitated from identifying his assallants. But lest he should still testify against them, his mavage foes tried to pull his tongue out, but failing in this, contented themitives with cutting it into strips, so as to render speech Imposible. Arain coming on, he was abandoned, but on looking back, it was perceived that be still had sufficient sight to distinguish the way to his house, toward which be was trying to crawl. Upon this, his enemies returned to the attack, repented the process of gouging out his

China has many needs, among which her leading statesmen place armies, navies, and arsenals. To her foreign well-wishers it is plain that she needs a curicacy, railways, and scientific instruction. But does not a deeper diagnosis of the condition of the empire indicate that one of her profoundest needs is more human sympathy ?. She needs to feel that sympathy with childhood, which for eighteen centuries has been one of the choicest possessions of races and peoples which once knew it not. She needs to feel sympathy for wives and for mothers, a sympathy which eighteen centuries have done so much to develop and to deepen. She needs to feel sympathy for man as man, to learn that quality of mercy which droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven, twice blest in blessing him that gives and him that takes, that divine compassion which Seneca declared to be a voice of the mind' but which the influence of Christianity has cultivated, until it has become the fairest plant that ever bloomed upon the earth, the virtue in the exercise of which man most resembles God.

An example of the frequent and impudent frauds under the transit pass system has just come, to, light, and as the case, in its circum- stances, is of the usual kind, we give the details, A respectable storekeeper of this place, who since his establishment here has ever evaded his legal obligations, or smuggled, or brought in goods for Chinese, asked for and obtained through his Consul in Tientsin a pass for some 135 packages of goods. The goods only came here on the 12th instant, about five or six days overdue. On enquiring into, the cause of delay it appears that the cargo boat was detained at Ho Hsi-wu, and probably fined. The boatman, before leaving Tien- tsin, had surreptitiously taken on board 15 packages of foreign goods, from a Chinaman be says, but probably on foreign account, judging by the nature of the goods, which are foreign and for foreign use. No transit pass was given for these extra 15 packages, and at He Hil-wu, where the boat was examined, the excess of cargo was discovered. It was also discovered that the Tientsin Tautai's pass had been manipulated. In this case the respectable storekeeper is the sufferer though he had no part in the fraud. It would have been well, therefore if the Chinese authorities after providing for the legitimate interests of the honest trader, had confiscated both the boat and the 15 packages. The wrongful alteration of the pass should also.. be held as a serious offence, and the Chinaman fa Tientsin who committed it should be sternly
dealt with. It is not surprising that the Chinese authorities have become irritated and suspicious but they are to blame for laxity in dealing with cases like the present-Chinese Times.
