The society known as the Tsai Li, the head-district, yamên, the lad did not find such quarters of which are supposed to be in Tientsin, has been often suppressed, an often bursts out agalo fato full vigor. Within the past few yeats, it appears to have spread southward, in this direction. It is more than three years since
mention' was made in these columna óf a case in
to
this district, in which the local magistrate captured the leaders of the Tea L fraternity, Just as they were about to hold one of their annual fexsis. In the same place precisely the same thing happened a year or more later, and In the third moon of last year, the experience was repeated in the district of Teches. The magistrate had the five hend masters apprehended, examined them severely, and accused them of belonging to the "White Lily Sect," a name full of terrors for Chinese magistrates ever since the days of the Taipings. It was in vain for the leaders to declare that theirs is a harmless society; the official could not be made to under- stand what the particular · (6) or ʻritual' is, which they profess to observe, and had them all besten for a warning. Since then the sect bas to some extent waned, but at present in the districts next south of this one it is flourishing and the adher cats are said to be counted by many hundreds. The people are all perfectly well aware of the fact of the propagation of this sect but do not concern themselves about it, except with characteristic Chinese prudence to make it a poini refrain from all depreciatory allusions to the society, alfairs or other public places, au its ad- herents are so numerous and widely diffused that a crowd of them might easily be gathered to take vengeance upon one wholly unsuspicious of any evil. The head-master (or shifu) is sid to rerive a fee of about $0.75 from each adherent, which evidently makes it an object to him to spread the new doctrine.There is so little that is novel about mere abstinence from wine, opium and tobacco, that it is impos. sible to persuade the average Chinese that there Is not some deep ulterior design involved in this sect, especially as it is noted that the recruits are nearly all of a bad class, many of them former opium-smokers, gamblers, and otherwise objectionable. They are pledged to reveal the secrets neither "to father and mother above, nor to wife and children below," The maxim never to speak of halters in the house of one who was hanged, is quite Chinese in its spirit. Upon visiting a certain village not long since, the writer was cautioned not to say anything reflecting upon Mohammedans, for, the leason that most of the people in that village were originally members of that race and sect, "but were now perverts to heathenism. As cases of this sort da not appear to be sufficiently frequent to relieve them of novelty, it seemed worth while to make careful inquiries of acquain ances in other villages adjacent. It was the unanimous testimony that the alleged fact is true.
boy lost both his parents, and although several of his uncles were in good situations in the
encouragement as to make him fond of the place of his birth. Accordingly he accompanied a party of soldiers to Tientsio, distant more than two hundred miles, where the soldiers were ordered to work on a new water-way which the Governor-General was at that time making from the Grand Cenal to the 'Peibo at Hainch'eng. Here the bright little lad nitracted the attention of an official, who enquired into the circum stances, and Lok the child to wait upon the efficial's wife. After remaining is this position for some time, the official was promoted, but took the trouble to recommend the lad to another mandarin, with whom the child had a similar experier ce, until he had grown to be a min, and had came into the employ of the Customs Taotsi of Tientsin, by whom he was taken to Shangbai, and many other places. He has now obtained a leave of absence for a few months, and for the first time in eleven years returns to his home. Out of his pay of five or six tacks per month, he is generally able to ave but a small amount, owing to theextravagant habits which inch positions require. But the return of a youth of 22, who ran away a mere child, and who has met with what from the Chinese point of view must be regarded as dazzling success, can scarce.yfil to influence many other children of his native city to repeat the experiment when fortune opens to them the way. The case is of interest, as showing that Lads are sometimes to be met with who have the good sense to fulfil their duties promptly and efficiently, without making constant complaints of the extra libosis imposed upon them. With. out such a qualification, is youth would never bare succeeded, and the lack of it is a very common defect among Chinese who are in the position of servants. Every one is aware that the Chinese have a system of numeration on their fingers, of which they make constant use, and a knowledge of which is almost a necessity as a condition of comprehending, nat so much what is sald, as, what is pointed out, It is also well known, having been remarked by all observant travellers, like Baion Richieten. that on occasions when the Chinese do their bargaining at a fair or other place, where it is desirable to keep the terms steret, the digital plan of notation is employed by feeling the fingers within their long sleeves, which are perfect bar to curious spectators, or listeners, But it is one thing to be aware of this practice, and another to be expert in it, as was recently exhibited in the experience of a friend of the waiter, who for lack of such expertness found himself placed in a strange position. He was offered a hotsestrade, while away from home, and the animal which it was proposed to exchange for his own, was brought forward, hauled around by the tail (to prove its gentleness), and otherwise displayed. Our friend's maloo then Came confidentially forward, followed of course by eager listeners, and grasping his employer's arm, inserted a hand within his sleeve, and began clutching at his fingers, and at the palm of his hand, in a manner which was evidently intended to be full of meaning.

The secession from Mohammedanism teak place about three generations since, and was caured by the circumstance that one of the Mohammedans had taken alterary degree, which requires at Confucian temples devotions not theoretically accordant with Mohammedan pre- Judices. But as many officials are taken from the circle of the followers of the prophet, who for that purpose put their faith in abeyance, the explanation did not seem altogether satis factory. One of the suburbs of the nearest district city was full of Mohammedias, who visited the recusants, reviled them for three daya, and hung pieces of pork at their dears, as a contemptuous challenge. At the expiration of that the reparation was complete, and the clan lapsed into idolatry and the use of coffins. Even the surname was changed in character, but not in sound, from ma (horse) wwa (hemp).
