The bullies of certain cities enjoy a national reputation, and are dreaded all over the empire. Thus it is said that in certain parts of China there are notices posted over the doors of inna, No Tientsin men admired. The black legs of that port are notorious for their violence, and are even cailed by a peculiar nickname (hun-hingstae). It was by their means that the Tientsin massacre was carried through, and such men are everywhere the leaders of the dangerous clases. xtended experience in many provinces has shown how easy it is to stir these elements into a blaze at any time and on any prelext, especially in any matter 'relating to foreigners. Itis, largely due to them that the foreigner inChina, or in any part ofit, literally never knows what aday or night may bring forth.

yamens. He can prosecute a law-suit with little or no expensé, because it is to him that the yamén runners owe their living; that is, the persons who are obliged to go to law and whom the yamen people fleece in the process, are brought to this externity largely through the help of the bullies who get up rows, or take charge of them after they have been got up by others. To a bully of this special type, a row of some sort is the normal condition of lite. When there

is no occupation of the sort on hand, he is spoiling for a fight. In the metaphorical saying

The reason popularly assigned for the theatre on this occasion was that it was designed to celebrate the har mony of feeling of the whole village, every family in which was now sincerely desirous of co-operating 1 During the four days of the per- formance, the village hully, by whose autocratic word all this bustle had sprung up, sat at the receipt of custom, keeping account of the amounts handed in. It was remarked as a pleasing test of the unanimity of feeling in the village, that no one had to be asked for his tax, a most unusual phenomenon, but everyone bought it and laid it at the feet of the bully with Joyful willingness

It is well known that there are some species of wolves which hunt in enormous packs. If a hard pressed traveller should shoot one of them so that he is disabled, the rest of the pack, or'n part of it, will suspend their pursuit for a few moments, while they devour their companion, That there should be any phenomena at all similar to this among so peaceable and amicable people as the Chinese, does not nt first appear probable or even credible. But it often happens that a single fact, seen in all its relations, is

sufficient to explain a great variety of ather facts. The Chinese bally in his various forms of mani- festation is responsible for many of the evil of Chinese society in a manner which it is by no means difficult to understand. The national dread of giving offence has been already described, Once postulating a man of the tyre here represented, furnished with occasions for a quarrel, there is no force in Chinese society which is adequate to deal with him. Public

sentiment is indeed against him, but which he care for sentiment? It is a phrase which is of the Chinese," such a person, if he has been In constant use in regard to such a person, that he is one whom we dare not provoke.

No one is ever caught setting these fires. By the time several of them have taken place it has become sufficiently evident who are the ones whom the fire-god does not favour.

There is always a per- fect mob of spectators, but very few who do any thing towards the extinction of the flames, and the amount of yelling volunteered is to the amount of water as ten thousand to one, In fact a village fire is frequently put out without any water at all, or any to speak of being simply buried under a quantity of earth which is thrown upon it, for dirt is unfavourable to combustion, and has the great advantage over water of being always at hand in sufficient abundance.

An example of his mode of procedure is afforded by the village to which reference his just been made. For a whole generation no theatrical performance had taken place in this village. This was because on the last occasion when such an event occurred one family in the village had advanced money, which had never been repaid, and whenever it had proposed to hire a band of players, this family has always insisted that their stale debt must first be repaid, s pro- position which invariably quashed il farther proceedings. But in the year 1888, the local Bully, perhaps feeling in need of assistance for his exchequer, which was chronically low, renewed the proposlilon that no one dared refuse. The family who bad the sum owing to them did not decline to co-operate, but succeeded in setting off their old debt against the present assessment upon them.
