CHINESE MORALITY. The strong feeling caused by the abolition of the CD. Ads is again aroused to-day by the interference of the local Government, at the instance of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, * with the Chinese system of polygamy, It is therefore of peculiar interest to read the opinions ofthree high authorities on Chinese mora ity-Mr. T. Cl Hayllar, Q.C., Dr. Eitel, and the Hon. W. Keswick, the Commissioners appointed by Sir John Pope Hennessy in 1877 to enquire into the working of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance. The opinions they formed with respect to the operations of the Ordinance are not within the province of the question to-day--we have been told that that is settled already-but as showing the condition of women-kind among the Hongkong Chinese, the following extracts will. be of interest :--

Nothing in connection with private gambling, can possibly have been more lamentable than" the scandals that have occurred of late years in Paris. The scandal of the Cercle, de la Rue Rovale must be fresh in the 'memory of moni

one of the most exclusive clubsin Paris Its inem bers were all rich men, and of high social standing. The Cercle in question stood accond inimportance only to the Jockey Club. The gambling at the Rue Royale was very high about ten years ago, and consisted, for the most part, of the game of "Quinze," at which large sums of money changed bands. One of the play rs, who. although 'a rich man, had neatly been ruined at this game, began to suspect that something was wrong, and upon closely examining the cards. be discovered that some of the most important ones had been undoubtedly tampered with. The game was at once stopped, and the servant who supplied the cards was summoned. The answers this servant gave were considered to be sa unsatisfactory that a descent was made on his house, where quantities of cards, all marked in the same way, ready to be delivered at the club, were found hidden about in different parts of his room. Of course the servant was only a tool in the hands of some rich man who must have bribed him largely to work for him. The fellow abso lutely refused to divulge the name of his employer, and his wife, who was also implicated, was equally silent. The upshot of the affair was that the servant was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and the club was disbanded poor consolation for those who had lost fortunes through some cheating meniber. The Rue Royale was reformed, and every member had

It must not be supposed that the Chinese, as a people, view prostitution as a matter of moral to be re-elected, and it is needless to say that HE Spanish Steamer

indifference. On the contrary, the literature, the religions, the laws, and the public opinion of China,all join in condemning prostitution as immoral and in co-operating to keep pro- stitution under a certain check. The literature

of the Confucianists, which as regards purity and utter absence of immoral suggestions stands unrivalled by any other nation in the world, does not countenance prostitution in any form. The religions of China-Tauism and Buddhism-unite in holding up before the people the ideal of absolute celibacy. The laws and public opinion pat certain pensities on prosti- tutes and agres in keeping prostitution rigidly out of sight. Although the Chinese are a pagan nation, they have no deification of vice in their temples, no indecent shows in their theatres, no orgies in their houses of public entertainment, no parading of lewd women in the public streets. The brothels are confined to the back slums of towns and a man may even pass a street of brothels without noticing any. thing offensive. In short, as far as outward and public observation goes, China presents a more virtuous appearance than most European

countries.

EX

Nevertheless, high as the moral standard un- doubtedly ja among the Chinese, the practice of morality is very 18w, and prostitution is very rife, because there are natural causes at work, which almost necessitate prostitution. Such are, for instance, the excessive over-population of the large cities, the national system of poly- gamy rampant all over the Empire, legalizing concubinage far as the offspring of concubines are concerned, but leaving a childless concubine liable to be sold or sent adrift at any moment, the law of inheritance. neglecting daughters in favour of Bons, the universal practice of buying and selling females combined with the system of domestic slavery. There is no organie tendency in the Chinese to practical violation of their own moral theories and deals, but the coexistence of over- population, with a social and domestic life based on polygamy and female slavery must of necessity be a perennial source of immorality and prostitution, against which mere prohibitive legistation must be utterly powerless,

Gambling has always been high in Paris-P... higher, perhaps, than in any other capital of Europe. In the days of the Second Empire it way of its highest; but most of the members of that generation have either passed away or been ruined, or are now too old to play. The Cercle Imperial, at the corner of the Place de la Con. corde and the Champs Elysdes, has now been united to the "Mirlitons" and is known as the on to a large extent, especially since the fusion of "Epatants," and here gambling is still carried the two clubs. Baccarat and poker are chiefly In vogue, Play, begins in the afternoon and goes on again after dinner until the small hours of the morning.

Among gambling tragedies, Prince Melissano's death stands out as a warning to those who make too free with "la Dame de Pique.". Here was a man popular in all classes of society, well born and possessing a considerable fortune, but the day came when "Quinze" and baccarat left him high and dry, and he was unable to pay his debts of honor. Then his name was posted in the looking-glass of the Salon of the Rue When the Prince caught sight of it Royale. he smashed the looking-glass to atoms with one blow from his cane, and then there was Frince Melissano, who occupied a scandal. a room at the club, sent a few days later for his coiffeur, and, having been carefully shaved and in American parlance-"fixed," he dressed himself in evening clothes, and then put a bullet through his heart. Thus was another life-and the life of a deservedly popular_man-sacrificed to the demands of Dame Fortune.

To descend to a lower scale of club in Paris than those already mentioned, we may refer to certain magnificent establishments far easier of access than the Rue Royale and the Jockey Club, where gambling- especially, baccarat is played for every high stakes. Of these the principal ones are the "Presse," the "Washington," and the " American "the last generally called the Colonel," from the sufficiently well-known fact that all Americans are colonels, The "Presse "

As to polygamy, that other fruitful cause ofis frequented by the better class of journalist- prostitution, the legislature of Hongkong has never yet attempted to deal with it, as far as non-Christian Chinese are concerned.

The rationale of all this, is, that the Chinese population of Hongkong, although nominally separate from the people of China, and politically under British rule and influence, form practically one living social organism with the population of the adjoining provinces of China. As long as polygamy and female slavery form the very life blood of the social organism on the mainland of China, it will be in vain to try and suppress these evils among the Chinese population of Hongkong by any legislative enactments.

Then there are rich stockholders, financial dabblers, le tout boulevard-that unknown quantity which cer- tainly exists, but which it is so difficult to define, All these mea are prepared to risk a thousand louis in the bank, and at the "Washington" and the "Colonel the play in even higher. Here Americans--and, indeed, all strangers-are admitted with less formality than in other clubs, and it was at the "Colonel" that Mr. Benton, in sporting pa lance, skinned the lamb" to the extent of some £12,000 during his stay in Paris two years ago. These clubs are openly spoken a tripots, or "hells," by those who frequent members gambling, and indeed they are founded for no other purpose.

During the month of May the Trustees of the British Muscum became possessed of a Chinese bank note, which was issued from the Imperial Mint just 300 years before the circulation of first paper mony in Europe. Whatever doubts may attach to the priority of certain other inven tions claimed by the Chinese, it is impossible to deny that they were acquainted with the art of printing many centuries before the days of Gutenberg. According to native records, the art of printing was in use in China la 593 AD but it does not appear to bave been employed in the preparation of bank notes until the ninth century. From that date notes were periodically Issued until the middle of the 15th century when the practice felt loto disuse, and was only revived about 40 or so years ago,

The note of which we are now speaking is one which was issued in the first year, or one of the first years, of the reign of the first Emperor of the Ming dynasty, after the overthrow of the Mongol dynasty established by Kublai Khan. It was of the notes issued by the last-named Sovereign-who was a proftia.floater of paper money that Marco Polo speaks when he says: "The Great Khan caused the bark of trees, made into something like paper, to pass for money, over all his country. According to the Venetian traveller, the notes were made "of the bark of a certain tree, in fact, of the mulberry tree, the leaves of which are the food of silkworms-these trees being so numerous that whole districts are full of them. What they take is a tee white bast

Baccarat is one of those games which, in the long run, means certain ruin. The banker pays per cent for the advantage that he has in dealing-namely, that when his adversaries ask for cards, the cards be gives them are turned up. and he can therefore gather very clearly what points they have, and can make a very shrewd calculation as to whether or not he ought to take a card bimself. This 5 per cent goes to the benefit of the club, which thus makes enormous profits during the evening whether the members win or not. If a given number of players were to sit down and play baccarat, each with a stated sum of money, it would only be a question of time for the united amount to have passed into the cagnotte or pool, and for no one to be Saturday Review. any richer save the proprietors of the club.

None of the notes seen by Marco Polo, and indeed none earlier than the present one, are known to exist, and of these only three copies are. said to survive. The interest attaching to this rarity is, therefore, very great. It is older than
