pocedure entirely at variance with their former actions when they never allowed a single appor- tunity to escape to get a Corean punished for the slightest misdemeanor.
A feeling of insecurity has lately prevailed amongst natives who have to travel between Sécul and the towns on the north-west of that city, owing to the presence of a numerous band of out-laws who have lately made the rocky fastnesses of Kao Yang district the base of their operations against the peaceably-inclined inhabitants. The leader of the band is a young noble who being dissatisfied with the present state of the political situation of the country organized the band, intending, it is said, to obtain recruits this way and also obtain the necessary sinews of war by a wholesale plunder of the rich, traders who come to the capital for goods to the interior. Having obtained the necessary funds to do so it is reported that this enterprising young bandit will
hoist the red flag of rebeilion and declare war
gainst all nationalities. His prescat mode of action, however, will only contribute failure instead of success, as instead of getting popularity by gentle treatment of those who have been unfortunate enough to fall into his hands, all his proceedings, so far, have been characterised by the utmost ferocity.
While I am writing this, there have already been continuous rainfalls for twenty one days, so that we have almost forgotten what the sun looks like, and the present prospects of sunshine seem as far away as ever. Notwithstanding this, the weather has been and is exceedingly sultry for the season, and fears are entertained that sickness and epidemics will be the natural outcome of
so much rain and heat.
A man was found dead, one day, lying in one of the principal thoroughfares of the Capital, and neither native private benevalence nor Govern ment duly was found ready to bury the dead vagrant as it lay unclaimed, rotting under the rain for three whole days, until a philanthropic Chinese bought a coffin and engaged a few coolies to bury the fetid corpse in the "strangers' grave yard 1
As the East and South Streets in Seoul is mainly occupied by Chinese traders, the Fesident Yuan has thought it best to order the Chinese living in West Street, Ling Sin and ather sircels to move within a month's time to East or South streets in order that the Chinese military patrols may be not be too mach bur- dened with the inconvenience of patrolling so many streets-There's laziness for you! This order is a very unpopular one, and it is said that a petition has already been forwarded to H.E. Li Hung-changprotesting against thearoitrary order. on the ground that made is already so dull that extra expenditures occurred in buying land, and building or renting new houses would drive many petty traders into bankruptcy.
The Chinese Residency is at present under going extensive repairs, there being no less than two hundred carpenters and masons engaged on the work. Yuan, however, is not expected to enjoy the benefits of this renovated Yamen as it is reliably reported that a new Resident is shortly expected, named Chao Taolai, who appears to have had a pretty good record in his „former official career,
CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
CONCI USION. V.
There are not wanting those who are firmly persuaded that what is needed by China, is not merely admission into the family of nations, but unrestricted intercourse, free trade, and the Brotherhood of Man, The gospel of Commerce is the panacea for China's needs; more ports, more imports, a lower tariff and no kikin taxes. l'erhaps we do not hear so much of this now, an a decade or two ago, during which time the Chinese have penetrated more fully than before into Australia and the United States, with results not always most favourable to unrestricted in tercourse, and the Brotherhood of Man." Have there not also been loud whispers that Chinese tea and Chinese straw-braid have been defective in some desirable qualities and has not this lack been partly matched e defects in cerisin articles imported into
China from the lands of the West! As an auxiliary of civilisation, Commerce is invaluable but it is not by itself an instrument of reform. Adam Smith, the great apostle of modern political economy, defined man as "a trading animal"; no two dogs, he says, exchange bones. But supposing they did so, and sopposing that in every great city the canlae population were to establish a Bone Exchange, what would be the inevitable effect upon the character of the dogs? The great trading nations of antiquity were not
the best nations, but the worst, That the same I not true of their modern successors, is cer- tainly not due to their trade, but to wholly different causes. It is sufficient to point to the continent of Africa, with its rum and lis slave traffic, each introduced by trading and by Christian nations, and each unspeakable curses to show that taken by viszlf, there la no reforma tory influence in Commerce,

he affirmed that they will do away with many risks incidental to river transport, "such as stealing by the crew. Will the accumulation, then, of funded civilization, diminish moral evils? Do railways ensure honesty in their employés, or even in their managers? Have we not read "A Chapter of File," Showing how that great. highway between the States was st len bodily, the stockholders helpless, and nobody to blame"? And will they do these things better in Chinn than it has es pot been possible to be sure of having them done in Enelind or America? Is funded civilisation an original cause by itsell, or is it the effect of a long train of complex causes, working in slow harmony for great periods of time? Would the introduction of the ballot-b-x into China make the Chinese a democratic people. and fit them for republican rule? No more will "funded civilisation" produce in the Chinese empire those conditions which accompany it in the West, unless the causes which have produced the conditions in the West are set in motion to produce the like results in China. Those causes are not material, they are moral. How is it that with the object lessons of Hongkong, of Shang- hai, and other treaty ports before them, the Chinese do not introduce model settlements" into the native cities of China? Because they do not wish for such changes, and would not tolerate them if they were introduced. How is it, that with the object-lesson ofan honest administration of the Imperial Maritime Customs before their eyes, for more than a quarter of a century, the. Government does not adopt such methods else- where? Because in the present condition of China, the adoption of such methods of taxation of Chinese by Chinese, is an absolute moral impos- sibility. British Character and Conscience have been more than a thousand years in attaining their present development, and they cannot be suddenly taken up by the Chinese for their own, and set in operation, like a Krupp gun from Essen, mounted and ready to be discharged. The forces which bave developed Character and Conscience in the Anglo-Saxon race, are as definite and as certain facts of history, as the landing of Julius i resar in Britain, or the invasion of William the Conqueror. These forces came with Christianity, and they grew with Christianity. In proportion as Christianity roots itself in the popular heart, these products flourish, and not otherwise. Listen for moment to the great advocate of culture, Matthew Arnold. "Every educated man loves Greece, owes gratitude to Greece. Greece was the lifter-up to the nations of the banner of art and science, as Israel was the lifter-up of the banner of righteousness. Now the world cannot do without art and science. And the lifter-up of the banner of art and science was naturally much occupied with them, and conduct was a plain homely matter. And this lack of attention to brilliant Greece perished conduct; for want of conduct, steadiness, character.
Nay, and the victorious revelation now, even now, in this age when more of beauty and more of knowledge are so much needed, and knowledge at any rate is so highly esteemed the revelation which rules the world even now, is not Greece's revelation, but Judæa's; not the pre-eminence of art and science, but the pre-eminence of right-cousnesi." In order to re- form China, the springs of character must be reached and purified, conscience must be practi- cally enthroned, and no longer imprisoned in its own palace, like the long line of Japanese Mikados. It is a trath welli'stated by one of the leading exponents-of modern philosophy, that “there is no alchemy by which to get golden conduct from leaden instincts, What China needs is righteousness, and la order to attain it, it is absolutely necessary that she have a clear perception, and a deep conviction that there is a power that "makes for righteousness." The perception of such a power, gives a meaning to History, other than that of a blind evolution of unknown and unpreventible causes. Marcus Aurelius expressed the feeling of the best part of Paganism, when he said in substance, “hings | are repeated over and over from eternity," "whatever happens, or is to happen, has in fact already been. It is only the same show re- peated." But the thought of progress, toward an end divinely contemplated, by agencies of new and transcendent effectiveness, this was common to
NAVIGATION COMPANY'S Steamship Christians and "it formed the contrast," as Nean-T VENINSULAH AND ORIENTAL STEAK der has exid, "between the Christian view of life, "COROMANDEL," Captain J.
