How to Reach a chinaman,s Conscienc

How to Reach aChinaman's Conscience
Mr.. R. D. Caldwell, gentleman thor
oughly acquainted with the Chinese cha
racter, being asked by the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, as
to the best mode of swearing the Chinese
so as to get the truth. replied as follows ::
think that cutting off a cocks head
would be the form of an oath likely to
elicit the greatest amount of truth from a
Chlnaman, but,
!. This oath, to be administered in a
manner at all binding, must be taken be-
fore the patron idol of the swearer; but
Chinese have different idols, and those
idols are feared most. which are supposed
to be able to punish most therefore an
oath before one idol would not be so much
dreaded as an oath before another idol.
Q. The Chinese have no belief in God
or future state, as We understand them,
and it would be superstitous and not a
religious fear which would restrain them.
Most of them believe in idols possessing
power superior to men, and believe that
after death they will inhabit the bodies Of
brutes or of other men.
3. The idols they invoke are not all
considered to hate vice, inasmuch as pi-
rates constantly invoke their assistance in
their piratical expeditions.
4. Lying in the abstract is not consid-
cred a sin among the Chinese. If pro-
secutor believe the defendant TO be gull
to, he will swear to any false collateral
facts which he may consider necessary to
prove the guilt, and he will not scruple to
cut off cocks head for that purpose.
s. The fear of an oath is to be attribu-
ted to a superstitious dread of some con-
sequence attendant on the act itself in this
world, than to sny fear of punishment in
future state they may think that they
will be unfortunate here.
6. This superstitious fear of performing
the act would probably deter most respec
table Chinese from taking the oath in
small matters. For the recovery of a
small debt of the punishment of a small
crime, such persons would not take an
oath. Thus debtors and small criminals
would escape. Some Cinnamon, perhaps,
would not be willing to take the oath I'M
der any circumstances.

A FUNNY LErrER.-A friend has hand
ed US a letter from the country, in an
swer to a dunning epistle he had written,
which is too amusing and original not to
be handed down to posterity along with
the choice literary nlorsels of the day
We suppress names and dates, of course ::
My Dear ISir:-H ours Of the - ult,
has been received, and if l have not yet
answered it, you may lay the account to
its strange contents. Twas much surpri.
sed at your simplicity in writing to me to
ask the payment of the small sums l owe
you. How you can imagine that l can
scrape together any money in this part of
the world, where there never was, never
is, and never will be such an article ? l
don't understand you city folks writing up
to US country folks for money. Why don't
you go to the bank and borrow it? That's
the way I'd do, if l were living in a city.
The bank don't ask any better fun than
to lend its money to whoever wants it
But up here we can't borrow money; we
haven't got it to spend, much less to lend.
Hou4l appreciate this when you get poor
and come to the country to live. There's
nothing like the country for modesty and
virtue. But I'm sure | don't know why
/ you should be bothering me for money.
My notes ought to pass current, for YOU We
got an almighty number of them. ifthey
don't and You never get paid. you will al
least have the satisfaction of having me
for your faithful friend. ~. 0. PIC.
