posing freshly caught fish Of any species
to the rays OF the moon for a short time,
and the indulging Of their appetites

for higher degree resort TO the university to
undergo a preliminary examination, and pre-

which occur once in three years, the lodgings
are sometimes filled with students who are
"cramming" for the occasion. At other sea-
sons they present the appearance of deserted
village.

the twelfth century,; in that Of China the sci
ences are neglected altogether. The subjects of
study and OF competition are all engraved on
those granite columns, which are thus an
nounced to be unchangeably fixed. According
to rule, the professor ought TO attend once in
three days, but in practice they only appear at
the full and change of the moon, at which
times they perform a kot0D before the tablet of
Confucius, and watch the students shooting
with bows and arrows. Archery is the sum to-

On the accession of the Monchu Tartars, two
centuries ago, eight large schools or colleges
were established for the benefit of the eight
tanners" or tribes into which the Tartars are
divided. These were projected on liberal
scale, and affiliated to the central institution.
At present, however, the buildings are in ruins,
and there is not one of them in which youth are
assembled for instruction, though the professors
(6ye for each schol) are still appointed and con-
tinue to draw their pay.
The post of professor is sought because the
title is deemed respectable, and offers stepping
stone to higher preferment; but its enoluments
are rather slender. These sinecures are certain
ly not pampered by over-pay. They receive, ac-
cordng to the official register, 1.-TWO suits of
clothes per dnnun1, and a fur jacket once in two
years; two bushels of rice per dnnuDl, and two

This pay was thought liberal two years ago;
but at present it is scarcely sufficient to supply
the professor with tobacco, to say nothing of OPT
um, which is a more expensive luxury. This
salary, paltry as it is, is paid in deprecated
currency.
Minister Dow has had an interview with the
viceroy Of this province, in which the latter in
forms him that arrangements are nearly COM
pleted for sending a corps of young men to
America for education. This movement is due
to the efforts of Yitng Wing, graduate of
Yale, and the youth who may be selected will
probably be placed under his care.
In a word, this old university, venerable as a
relic of antiquity, is utterly efete for education
al purposes, and Prince Kung and his counsel

reform, are endeavoring, in the face of much OPP

The required proclamation will not probably be
issued, but the whole police force, it is said, will
be on duty to prevent an outbreak if possible.
OF this precaution, however, the New York Post
says: "But.a small degree of reliance is placed
on this precautionary measure by many persons,
who argue that large part of the police force
is composed of Roman Catholics, who openly
sympathize with the malcontents, and will not
modest them should they again attempt to beat
and kill unoffending citizens and defenceless
women and children"
There can be but one opinion of the wisdom'or
propriety of perpetuating by these celebrations
feuds wholly foreign to our country and in.
situations. 1t is foolish and wrong, and the
0rangemen, by needlessly cxasperating their
Catholic c5untrymen, make themselves n
nuisance, but they are far less blameworthy
than those who attack them and endeavor, by
threats and murderous violence, to'prevent their
exercising perfect legal right, however un-
wise its exercise may be. The Orangemen have
precisely the same right under the law to pa
rade on the twelfth of July that the other Irish
societies have on the seventeenth of March, and
they have the same right TO protection from
violence and insult. 1t would be praiseworthy
in them to waive this right where
its exercise might lead to breach of the peace;
but it would be too much to expect Of men,
even less combative than Irishmen proverbially
are, to abandon venerable custom at the in.
solent dictation Of band of awless ruffians.
1t is all very well to dissuade them from their
purpose to celebrate the day; but if they per-
sist, they should be protected by all the power
of the city, police and military, and the de-
fensive arrangements should be so well organ
lied beforehand as to be sure of preventing a
riot, and not merely of dispensing it when its
ugly work wrs nearly done.
