Chinese Law---A Court Scene In the
City of Canton,

A correspondent of the New York
Evangelist, in very interesting letter re-
Gently published, thus describes visit to
. court in Canton, China:
The court room was very plain. a
couple of judges sat behind tables, before
whom number of prisoners were brought
in. The mode of proceeding was very
foreign to American or European ideas.
There was neither jury nor witnesses.
This simplifed matters exceedingly.
There is no trial by jury in China.
While we baggle and boggle about inn
panelingg juries and getting testimony,
and thus trials drag on for weeks, in
China no such obstacle is allowed to i'm
pede the rapid course Of justice, and,
what is more, there is no lawyers to per-
pick the Court with their arguments,
but the Judge has it all his own way.
Heis simply confronted with the ac-
cused, and they have it all between them.
While we stood here a number Of
prisoners were brought in; some were
carried in baskets Gas they are borne to ex-

Hints of Spring Styles.

Though we are still iu midwinter, cor
respondents who prepare their wardrobes
themselves are already asking for hints of
the styles that will be worn in the spring.
The indications are that the short costume
with a cut-away coat and vest will be very
popularity worn in wooden materials for
early spring An over-skirt will be worn
with this basque, and the lower skirt will
be without hounces, or else laid in kilt
pleats. Various shapes will be used for
the front of the coats, some of which will
dispense with vests, but there will be
many vests worn. The basques will be
in habit shapes, square cornered or slop-
ing, but with few curves, and very mascu-
line in appearance, therefore very simple
in design, and almost wholly without
trimming except ornamental stitching and
buttons.
For spring wrabs light gray, brown, or
dark blue twilled and pasket cloths will
be made up in jackets very similar to
those just described, though without vests.
They will have rolling collars, and will
button thence to the waist; there will be a
back, and the pocket flaps will be sewed
in this seam, which extends horizontally.
A silk braid binding or else stitched ed
ges will give the simple finish.
The polonaise with broad belts in from
will become more generally worn. At
present they are most used in very RIGHT
materials, but will soon be adopted for
plain woolens. The backwill remain in
princesse shape, but for their materials
the front will be slightly gathered, giving
the full blouse effect that is so becoming
to the figure. The fancy for using fringes
headed with GALLONS for trimming these
polonaises will continue; the firing, how
ever, will be COINED to the front and sides,
while the back will have only the galloon.
For wash dresses the pretty yoke waists
and pleated blouses introduced, or rather
revived last fall will be- the appropriate
designs. Deep sailor collars and belts
with buckles will be worn with such
waists. During the month Of February
merchants make point of displaying
wash goods, such as Scotch. ginghams,
soft finished percales, linen lawns, and
prints, and ladies do we'll to make their
selections then for summer dresses, and
make them up in the. leisure and quiet of
Lenten days. There is noticing. known
! yet about the shapes of skirts and over
skirts, but I'll generally safe to make
| the loEg overskirts that are simply hem
med and easily lanndried. j tits rumored
again, however, that these are to give
place to shorter over kirts, and that many
house dresses, will have but one skirt; still
the long ovor. skirt is too popular to be
sudd denly banished. s Flo wing back
breadths have been sty fish all winter for
trained dresses, and it is probable there
will be more fullness than formerly in
skirts of thin dresses, especially when
worn without an overskirt Haqpeq.'s

ecuton), and dumped on the stone pave
ment like SO many bushels OF potatoes;
others were led in with chains around
their necks. As each ones name was
called, he came forward and fell on his
knees before the Judge, and lifted up his
hands to beg for mercy. He was then
told of the crime of which he was accused,
and given opportunity if he had anything
to say in his own defense. There was no
spparent harshness or cruelty toward him,
except that he was presumed to be guilty,
unless he could prove his innocence; con
trary to the English maxim of law, that
a man is to be presumed innocent until
he is proved guilty. In this, however,
the Chinese practice is not very different
from that which exists at this dav in so
enlightened country as France.
In one case two men were accused of
robbery with violence capitol offense-
but by the Chinese law no man can be
punished with death unless he confesses
his crime, hence every means is employ
ed to lead a criminal to acknowledge his
guilt. OF course in a case of life and
death he will deny it as long as he can.
But if he will not confess, the court pro-
ceeds to take stringent measures to make
him confess, for which purpose these two
men were now put to the torture. The
mode of torture was this: There were
two round pillars in the hall. Each man
was On his knees, with his feet chained
behind him, so that he could not stir. He
was then placed with his back to one of
these columns, and small cords were fas-
tened around his thumbs and great toes,
and drawn back tightly to the pillar be-
hind. This soon produced intense suffer-
ing.
Their breasts heaved, the veins on their
forehcads stood out like whipcords, and
every feature betrayed the most excruci-
ating agony. Every few minutes an Off
Ger of the court asked if they were ready
to confess, and as often they answered IsNo;
never would they confess that they had
committed such crime" They were
told thatif they did not confess, they would
be subjected to still greater torture. But
still they held out, though every moment
seemed an honr of pain.
While these poor wretches were thus
writhing in agony, turned to the Judge
to see how he bore the spectacle of such
suffering. He sat at his table quite un-
moved; yet he did not seem like brutal
man, but like a man Of education, such as
one might see on the bench in England or
America He seemed to look upon it as
in the ordinary course of proceedings, and
necessary step in the conviction of
criminal. He used no bravado, and offer
ed no taunt or insult But the cries of
the sufferers did not move him, nor pre-
vent his taking his accustomed ease. He
sat tanning himself and smoking his pipe,~
as if he said he could stand it as long as
they could. The sight was to painful to
witness more than few moments. and I
rushed away, leaving the men still hang
ing to the pillars of torture. | confess I
felt a relief when went back the next
day, to hear that they had not yielded,
but held out unhinchingly to the last.
