the calendar is also light; and here it may not
be out of place to state that, last week. Mr.
OBrien's tenantry presented him with an ad-
dress and In the course of his reply he enun-
ciated the following practical and common
sense opinion as to the relations between land.
lord and tenant:-IR my relation to my tenants
L have always taught that they must mainly
rely upon themselves for their prosperity, and
am happy to say that they are distinguished
for their industry, punctuality, temperance
and orderly conduct landlord can do little
for his tenants who are disposed to lean upon
others rather than upon their own exertions !;
but it will always be my endeayor to merit
their confidence by acting upon the good old
maxim of 'live and let live" When the re-
lations between landlord and tenant are car
ried out on these principles we hear nothing of
tenant right, and the tenantry are happy
There is no doubt that to the carrying ont of
this principle Of fair play on an extended scale
past, we owe the altefed state of the country
generally.
A CELESTIAL PECULIARITY.-The Chinese
are, amongst other things, a very grossly feed
ing people. and, notwithstanding that some
pigs are held sacred, fat, fresh pork, is their
great delight, and, strange to say, 1t seems to
agree wonderfully well with them. l remem-
ber, in one instance, 4 boat race was to be
pulled in Hong-Kong between European sail
ors and Chinese, and in making arrant emants

they would prefer. think it was two pounds
of roas ted pork each they requested and this

commencing 1t. to make them, as they express

our ideas, it would have had any thing but that
effect, but not so with John Chinaman-

think, taking the average among the Chinese,
they as little subject to sickness any other
nation; but their ideas, or rather manner of
expressing their ailments, are peculiar. 1t was
invariably too much hot inside, or too
much a-colo" (cold.) "No can chow chow,''

wind inside that bone" 1t was apparently
rheumatism; 4 strong blister was applied, as
desired, and next day the report was that

themselves under the treatment of European
medical men. and indeed, tor anything not
surgical, their own doctors seem to answer
every purpose; they themselves say, "English-
