Many instances of this art were reported in far in the latitude of Peking thermometer ranges connection with the T'aip'ing rebellion, and through about one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, more recently the family of the chieftain Yakub which ought to afford sufficient variety of Beg, who led the Mahammedan rebellion in temperature to any mortal. But in China these Turkestan, furnished another. These atrocities alternations of heat and cold do not follow one are not, however, limited to cases of overt re-¦ another with that reckless and incalculable law- bellion. In the year 1873 "a Chinese was ac- lessness' witnessed in the great republic, but with cused and convicted of having broken open the an even and unruffled sequence suited to an grave of a relative of the imperial family, in { ancient and a patriarchal system, The Imperial order to rob the coffin of certain gold, silver almanac is the authorised exponent of the and jade ornaments, which had been buried three-fold harmony subsisting in China between in it. The entire, family of the criminal, con: heaven, earth and min.

Mail Stearnship
but in those regions with which we happen to be familiar, the almanac is itself a signal-service. At the point marked for the establishment of spring, spring appears. In several different. years we have remarked that the day on which the establishment of autumn fell-was-dis: tinguished, by a marked change in the weather after which the blistering heats of 'summer,) returned no more. Instead of allowing the frost to make irregular and devastating irruptions in every month of the year-as is loo often the case in lands where 'democracy' rules-the Chinese calendar fixes one of its four-and-twenty 'terms
a few months old was exterminated. Thus eleven persons suffered death for the offence of one. And there was no evidence to show that any of them were partiesto, or were even aware of his crinic."
The Chinese theory and practice of responsi- bility has been often cited as one of the causes of the perpetuity of Chinese institutions. While we, arc impressed with flagrant violations of justice, which it involves, it is impossible to be blind to its excellencies. In, western lands where every one is supposed to be innocent until he is proved to be guilty, it is exceedingly difficult to fix responsibility upon any parti-as frost-fall.' cular person. A bridge breaks down with, a heavy train of cars loaded with passengers, and an investigation fails to find any one in fault. A lofty building falls, and crushes a number of people, and while the architect is criticised, he shows that he did the best he could with the means at his disposal, and no one ever hears of his being punished. If an ironclad capsize, or a military campaign is ruined because the proper preparations were not made, or not made in time, eloquent speeches set forth the defects of the system which renders such events possible, but no one is punished. The Chinese are far behind us in their conceptions of public justice, but might we not wisely learn again from them the ancient lesson that every one, should be held rigidly responsible for his own acts, in order to the security of the body politic? The relation of the Chinese theory of respon- sibility to foreigners in China is a topic with which we are all familine. The "boy" into whose hals everything is committed, and who must produce every spoon, fork or curio; the ste ard who takes gederal charge of your affairs, suffering no one but himself to cheat you, the comprailere who wields vast powers but who is individually responsible for every piece of pro- perty and for every one of hundreds of coolies these types of character we still have with us, and shall always have, as long as we have any thing to do with the Chinese. Innkeepers in China are not noted for flagrant virtues of any kind, especially for consideration toward foreign travellers. Yet we have known of a Chinese innkeeper who ran half a mile after a foreigner, bringing an empty sardine-tin which he supposed to be a forgotten valuable, 1e knew that he was responsible, unlike American' hotel-keepers who coolty notify their guests that "the proprietor is not responsible for boots left in the ball to be blacked."
Responsibility for the character, behaviour and debts of those whom they accommend or introduce is a social obligation of recognised force, and one which it behoves foreigners dealing with Chinese emphasise. If
few years ago, this term fell
on the 23rd of October. Up to that day no lightest frost had fallen. On the morning of that day the ground was covered with white frost, and continued to be so covered every mom ing thereafter. We have noted these correspond
ences for some years, and have seldom observed a variation of more than the usual three days of grace, with the exception of the year 1888 in the northern part of Honan, where frost fell eleven days in advance of schedule time. But further inquiry showed that this was a pure irregularity, undoubtedly due to the depraving influence of the great breach in the Yellow River only a few miles distant. With the resumption of imperial control over this errant stream, these breaches of climatic uniformity may be expected to disappear. It is not inanimate nature only which in China is amenable to reason and to law, but animated nature as well. For some years we have noticed that on a particular day in carly spring the window frames were adorned with several flies, where for many months no flies had been seen, and on each occasion we have turned to the, imperial almanac with a confidence justified by the event, and as. certained that this particular day was the one assigned for the stirring of insects"! It has been remarked that there is in the blood o the English-speaking race a certain lawlessness, which makes us intolerant of rules and restraints. "Our sturdy English ancestors," says Black stone, "held it beneath the condition of a free-. man to appear, or to do any other act, at the precise lime appointed." But for this trait of our daughty forefathers, the doctrine of personal liberty, and the rights of man, have waited long for assertion.
But now that these rights have got themselves tolerably well established, might we not judi ciously lay somewhat more cimphasis upon the importance of subordinating the individual will to the public god and upon the majesty of Law? And in these directions have we not something to learn from the Chinese ?—N, C. Daily News

Contrast the Chinese inherent respect for law with the spirit often manifested where republican institutions flourish most, and manifested it must he said by those antecedents would least lead us to expect in-college laws, municipal ordinances, state and national enactments, are quictly defied, as if the assertion of personal liberty were one of the greatest needs, instead of one of the principal dangers of the time.

or defend the existence upon our statule books' of multitudinous laws which are neither repealed nor enforced, laws which by their anomalous non-existent existence, tend to bring all legisla tion into a common contempt? By what means shall we explain the alarming increase of crime in many western lands, the last thirty years? How shall we explain that conspicuous Indifference to the sacredness of human life, which is unquestionably a characteristic of some western lands 2. It is vain to dogmatise in regard to matters which from the nature of the case are beyond the reach of statistica. Still we must confess to a decided conviction that human life is safer in a Chinese city than in an American city-safer in Peking, than in New York. We believe it to be safer for a foreigner to traversa the interior of China, than for a Chinese to traverse the interior of the United States. It All Parcels must be sent to our Office and must be remembered that the Chinest as a whole should be marked to address in full; and the are quite as ignorant as any body of immigrants same will be received by us until 5 P.M. the in the United States, and not less prejudiced, day previous to sailing.

ADAMSON, BELL & Co. occurred more frequently and have not been
Agents more fatal to the lives of foreigners. It is a Chinese tenet that Heaven is influenced by the acts and by the spirit of human beings. Upon this principle, depends the efficacy of the self-mutilation on behalf of parents, to which reference was made in speaking of filial piety. That this le a correct theory we are not prepared to maintain, yet certain facts deserve mention which might seem to support it. The geographical situation and extent of the eighteen marked resemblanca provinces of Chinn bear a
that part of the United States of America cast of the Rocky Mountains. The erratic eccentri- cities of the climate of the United States, are, as lille Marjorie Fleming remarked of thé múlti plication lable, more than buman nature can bear." It was Hawthorne who observed of New England, that it has "no climate, but only samples.". Contrast the weather in Buston, New York or Chicago, with that of places in the same Jatitude in China. It is not that China is not, as the geographies used to affirm of the United Sister, subject to extremes of heat and cold,"
