The officials at different hours of the night patrol the streets before midnight, and in the early morning small bodies of soldiers are seen hovering about, and two pickets are still stationed opposite the Romanist property.

Her acting was good and her singing was absolutely correct and in good taste.. The choruses as usual were good, but the absence of tenor and bass voices was very noticeable. The opening chorus was very correctly rendered, but lacked volume. In concerted places the Company was at its best, keeping good time and singing with great precision. This is no doubt due to the exertions of the excellent conductor, Mr. T-Z-plin, who has the choristers well in band, and who works like a Trojan.

THE HONGKONG ATHLETIC CLUB. TO THE EDITOR or sur "Ilouckano Telsarati.

Although Athit, Cum 10s have elapsed the Club has
not yet been honoured with a reply.
In view of the keen interest displayed by the public when the Club was formed and of the distinct promises both written and verbal-made by the Govermest to provide a site. for it, is difficult to understand why this matter is being shelved..
Considering that fifteen months have passed without the fulfilment of the promises referred to It is not surprising that the members of the Club are getting impatient,

JAPAN.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Yokobama, July and. In no country bave such momentous political and Industrial changes occurred in a brief period as in Japan. Frier to 1869 It was an absolute despotism based upon divine right. The com mon people and above all the labouring classes were mere property attached to the soil. Socially and politically the Japanese coolic of the past generation was lower than the negro slave of the United States prior to 1865, the Russian serf prior to 18:6, the feudal villela, or the Saxon thral. A dalmio or prince was justified in killing
one for an insolent look.
To-day Japan is a constitutional monarchy under which the laborer has almost the same privileges as has an American citizen at home. He can own land and bring suit against the most powerful prince or richest arch-priest; his life, liberty and property are as secure as law can make them.
Unlike us in France and America, these changes have come from the governing and not the governed. The people still cling to and love the old forms and usages. If on the road when on horseback or in vehicle they meet a superior, they dismount and kneel or bow until he is a hundred yarr's away. If one of a higher caste enters their home or store, they express their delight and gratitude at his condescension by salaaming and ketowing until to the American mind it becomes utter weariness and vexation of spirit. If a prince or noble takes a fancy to a young girl, daughter of a tradesman or farmer: the parents hand her over to the admirer as if i were the greatest possible favor to be allowed so to do. In the theatres, although they are passionately fond of all forms of amusement they give up their seats without a marmur to any late party of social superiors who chance to drop in for a few minutes to see the show.

Up to 1870 society was purely patriachal. The patria potestas was almost unlimited. A man could self his wife, daughter, daughter in law, and even granchildren. Within the family his will was law. He bad the power of life and death over all the other members, and used it at his discretion. Among curlous powers possessed under this system, he could pawn his wife and daughters for concubines and his sons and grandsons for slave laborers for a period not mentioned has instituted the domestic relations of Europe and America and has abollshed the pairia potestas.
