children of the Emperor belonging to one family,
equal in rank and in blood Birth and wealth are
more dsrcgnrded there than IN any other p1rt OF
the world more even taau in this country. Except
the immediate relatives Of the Emperor who enjoy
the privilege of welrnr the yellow sash, and the
followers of Conlucius, who have similar right,
no man is better than another; and even the En-
peror's relations rapidly lose rank with every de-
scent
In theory and in practice. the highest stations are
the rewards of good conduct and of scholarshlp.-
Schools are universally established, and education
Is provided for even the poorest and most obscure
W eath Is regarded solely a means Of useful
ness which Is freely dispensed for purposes Of be-
uovolcnce. 1t is SAID that recently, since the royal
treasury has been empty, the dIgncs OF the Col
lege which always open the way to high Offices IN
The state, have been purchased for money; but any
one who thus obtains high places, when it is known,
does Mt Cuuy the respect and honor winch the
place would confer on one who had won 1t by his
own merits AMI cXertiuns. OF tins Mr.. w. gnve
