as honest an Institution as the Chinese know how to maintain. Its objects are most noble and charitable, and its members and officers adhere to the

principles of benevolence and integrity as well as they know how. There are hundreds of equally good institutions throughout the length and breadth of the Celestial Empire, all administered in the cause of charity by really good-hearted men, according to their lights. Their lights are strangely different from ours, however, and it is human nature to condemn as wrong all of apposite views. For instance, Mr. CHOU HAN, of the Benevolent Hall" of Changsha, no doubt belleves in his own religion as sincerely as we in curs (those of us who have any); he has a right to put his faith in the national creed, and has a right to resent attacks on it; but his resentment literature, in the benevolent cause of takes the form of publishing Inflammatory
