CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.

THE ABSENCE OF ALTRUISM. VI

And if they cannot do it themselves, it will not be done at all, so that the great mass of those who are poor must remain so. Yet there are enough exceptions toexplain the process by which great wealth is dissipated, as the proverb says, in three generations; but these exceptions form no considerable proportion of the whole number 'of cases. As a rule, the poor man in China bas no chance to better himself. Those who have wealth, especially if they have gained it them selves, are oftener than not deeply marked by the struggles through which they have passed. The world has shown them no favours, and there nie very cogent and convincing reasons why they should not do so. That figure. of speech, which likens the permanent moral improvement of the rich man to the progress of a camel through the eye of a needle, when Chinese life is attentively considered turns out to be a sober and mathematically accurate statement. Within three miles of the writer's house, lives a wealthy Chinese, who has a pawn shop and between two and three thousand Chinese acres of land. Yet in the famine year, he not only did nothing for the poor of the district out of which he has made his money, but even the hamlet.composed of the hovels of those who work his own land contained starving families who were relieved by foreign money, in default of which the poor people must have died. In a region where about ten thousand dollars were distributed from foreign sources in aid of the victims of famine, scarcely an instance was heard of in which the local rich families took part in alleviating the distress, which was such that it was estimated that on an average one person in every family died either

of starvation or of disease. Under these circum. stances, it is not strange if the employés of these wealthy families maintain toward them an atti- tude of secret hostility, seizing every opportunity to do them an injury, when it cannot be traced.. A pawnshop, situated in a village near to the writer's residence, had a wall which was built on the outer edge of the land owned by the firm. On one occasion it became necessary to repair this wall, which could only be done by placing a staging on the land outside, for the use of the masons. The owners of this land refused to allow it to be used for this purpose, and as the pawn shop, which is the hereditary enemy of the poor, was for once in their power, the managers were compelled to pay a squeere of about three hundred Mexican dollars for the right to use for a few days a bit of ground the market value of which was perhaps two dollars. It is one of the concomitants of the social solidarity of the Chinese, that any man who has become rich is exposed to the devastating levies of all his relatives, of whom there are invariably an immense horde, and also of his 'friende,' who are in danger of proving to be as numerous and as needy as his relatives. The most conspicuous examples of this state of state of things occur in the southern districts of China, from which the emigration of Chinese to foreign countries chiefly takes place. Each returning emigrant is already weighed in the social balances, and the assess- ments are soon fixed. By the time he has been plucked for the benefit of relatives and friends,' and taxed for the repair of temples, the spirit is so far gone out of him that his male anxiety is to get some friend to lend him a sun sufficient to get back to the foreign land whence he came, In order to begin the process of accumulation all over again. If a man who has land is unable to till the whole of it himself, his remotest cousins feel authorised to complain, if the work is given to some one else. One family warm and well-fed,' says the popular adage, is the envy of ten others. The writer is acquainted with an elderly man, who has a well- to-do neighbour with whom he was formerly associated in one of the secret sects so common in China. On asking him about this neighbour, whose house was at a little distance from his own, it turned out that the two men who had grown up together, and had passed more than sixty years in proximity, never met. "And why was this 7" "Because the other man is getting old, and does not go out much." Why, then, do you not sometimes go to see him, and talk ever old times. Are you not on good terms?" The person addressed smiled the smile of con- scious superiority, and shook his head. "Yes," he said, "we are on good terms enough, but he is well off, and I am poor, and if I were to go there it would make talk. Folks would way, What is he coming here for 1a

city of China, was welcomed with apparent cor diality by the people, the neighbours ever volunteering to lend them articles for house-keep- ing until such time as they might he able to procure an outfit of their own. Other examples there doubtless are, but it is well known that these are wholly exceptional. By far the most usual reception is total indifference on the part of the people, except sa far as curiosity is excited to see what the new comers are like; a spirit of cupidity to make the most of the 'fat geese' whom fate has sent thither to be plucked; and sullen hostility. In the case of foreigners, who may have been reduced to disness, we have never heard of any assistance voluntarily given by Chinese, though of course there may have been such cases. We have read of it stances in which sailors have attempted the journey overland from Tientsin to Chefoo, and from Canton to Swatow, and during the whole time of their travel they never once succeeded in getting a lodging or a mouthful of food gratis.-N. C. Daily News.

SWATOW.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

Swatow, 28th August, 1889. The steamer Tamint arrived here n the 26th instant from Newchwang and Chefoo. The vessel left Chefae on the 19th, and experienced fine weather as far as: the Salles. The rest of the passage was very rough, although without high winds. A sea which came on board carried away the companion ladder, and smashed the hen-coops and ice-cheal. Owing to the beavy sea the vessel was obliged to anchor in Buffalo Nose Channel for twerty-four hours. On the 24th, whilst off Pih-ki-shan, some wreckage was observed, to which a native was clinging. The vessel steamed as close to the wreckage as possible, but the poor Chinaman, doubtless through weakness, was unable to catch n life-buoy which was repeatedly thrown towards him. The second officer, Mr. King, volunteered from the very first to swim off with a line, but Captain Williams would not consent until every other means had been tried. A boat could not be inucched owing to the tremendous sea, so Mr. King very bravely swars off with a lead line, which he made fast to the unfortunate Chinaman, who, together with his rescuer, was safely got on board."

Such an act deserving of a testimonial from the Humane Society.

A few months ago the Tamsus picked six men off a water-logged junk near Swatow.- Mercury.

TIENTSIN.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)

Tientsin, 26th August, 1889. Sheng, Taotai of Chefoo, arrived here yester day to transact business in connection with the Kiathka Telegraph line, and also with respect to the Telegraph Convention of 1887.

The two breaches above Tientsin, one in the west, and the other in the east bank of the Pelho River, have made the eart and west plains

one vast sheet of water as far as one can see.

The water rushes through these gaps which such a force that it can be heard half a mile off.

Li Hong chang has enjoyed excellent health during the hot weather and is determined to attend to nothing else but what is required from him as Governor-General of Chihll and High Commissioner of Northern Trade, as before.

Wu Ta-cheng has not as yet arrived in Shantung, though he was telegraphed for by His Majestly, nor has Chang Chihtung sent his final reply about the Hankow Railway as proposed by him. His Majesty's kind request to their Excellencies Wu and Chang don't seem to soothe them--Shanghal Mercury.

Still, occasional cases render us disinclined to deny its existence, and thus our minds are left in what Macaulay termed "an uneasy and interminable state of abeyance." We know that there is truth; but we cannot decide exactly where it lies.
