appealed to the hard bead and keep- minds sharpened by contact with the Chinese, Mr. Sale laid down the law that British interests in China needed no explanation, Commerce was our sole object.

It was a pity that bir.

Are gards the Chinese language school' estab labed in London and the opportunities afforded to acquire the vernacular in fapan we may have occasion to refer to these on another occasion. There can be no question that Mr. Sale's speech was the event of the gathering, for, Mr. Gersham Stewart's witticisms and veiled suggestions excepted, the remainder of the formalities were of the usual namby pamby character. It is only to be expected that the battled-up impressions of the members of the China Association will find full expression at the next busiomas meet- ing, which, if only because of the "tams and domestic" character of the social gathering, should prove of exceptional interest. Daly one farther question might be asked: How did the members manage to muzzle Sir Robert Hari, who has emerged from his retreat at Peking to become the acknowledged silver- tongued orator of the Orient?
