The following is from Lockey,s History
of European Morals descriptive of the
bloody spcctacles offered for the amuse
rnent of the ancient Romans: The single
combat became at last insipid. and every
variety of atrecity was devised to stimulate
the tagging interest. At one time bear
and Q bull. chained together, rolled in
fierce contest along the sand at another
criminals, dressed in the skins Of wild
beasts, wera thrown 10 balls which were
maddenod by red hot iron OF by darts that
were tipped with burning pitch. Four
hundred bears were killed on single day
under Caligula three hundred ca another
day under Ciaudius. Under Nero, four
hundred tigers fought with bulls and
elephants; four hundred bears and three
hundred liens were slaughtered by his
soldiers Ia a single day, at the dedication
of the Colosseum by Titus, FIVE thousand
animals persisted. Under Trajan. the
games continued for one hundred and
twepty>three successive days. Lioas,
tigers, elephants, rhinocrnses, hppopot-
an,i, girafes, were bulls stays, even croco-
.diles and serpents, were employed to give
novelty TO tie spectacle. Nor was any
form of human suffering wanting. The
first Gorbisn, when edible, gave twelve
epectacles. in each OF which from one hun
dred and fifty to FIVE hundred pair of
gladiators appeared. Eighty hundred
pair fought during the triumph Of Aure-
Ian. Ten thousand men fought during
the games of Trajan. Nero Illuminated
bis gardens during the night BY Christians

Domitian an army Of feeble dwarfs were
compelled to fight, and more than one

do the women ever speak Of the men, :
less relatives or intimate associates of the
family. There is no such thing as social
life, in our sense Of the word, among the
Chinese, and all their social and domes.
tic theories and practices are based on
the idea of woman's inferiority and in
significance.
They are astonished to see the free
dom and equality allowed between the
sexes among Europeans, and argue siren
uously against il; and, when vanquished
in the argument, they reply in their usu-
al stubborness aud pertinacity: "May le
good Englishman Chinaman, no good"
Since the coming of European ladies
into China, some Of their own women
have begun TO entertain some little idea
of their rights, and it is now, become a
proverb among Cinnamon, that "twU
most dangerous things that can be i'm
ported into China are foreign women and
foreign gunpowder." Yet, on the whole,
the weaker sex are kindly treated, and,
in general, are not much abused.
