A Chinese Hotel.


Hotels vary in China, and one or two
in Manchuria had spacious dignity
about them, and rooms that were bright
and fairly kept; and some are worse than
that we entered now, for we were on a
high road where foreigners are becoming
frequent. At the upper end there was a
small building for superior guests. 1t
was divided into three compartments,
with earthen floors; the eating den had
broken table and broken chair; the 9th
er two were for sleeping, and lamp cast
dim light into the darkness-a tiny
wick that hoated in sea of oil in an iron
saucer crustrd with the dirt of centuries.
A meal under such circumstances WAS
not exhilarating. The beef we had car
ried with us was so manipulated in the
cooking that it looked exactly like dish
of caterpillars; there was eggplant stewed
in pork broth-but pigs and dogs are the
scavengers of China; there was seasoning
of sea slugs Cat 8 shillings a pound) and
of other condiments that were spread at
an open window in reach of the cooks
brawny arm; there We're messes in bowls,
balls of soft cakes like putty from a
glazer's shop, and there was mus
ty rice. The trusty Ii changed
the uneaten courses with evil
dent concern and at last carried in
triumph hot water for the tea; but
against the bowls which he suggested for
tea-cups, lip, nose, and stomach revolted,
and we withdrew to bed, cold and supper
less, like NAUGHTY children. A mattress
was stretched upon the hollow brick
counter which serves as bedstead, and
underneath which we forbade the usual
fire, afraid of what the heat might bring
forth. We shivered through the early
hours of the night with our feet to the
bare repulsive wall and our head tor the
passage. In the dull light it seemed as
if hideous things crept along the ceiling,
shining things rested on the walls, and
crawling things gnawed among the paper
and straw ON the fooT fingers were
thrust through the piper panes
Of the little lattice-w ndow, and
probably eyes peeped in, and the rush of
chill air was welcome because it was
pure; and ms we dozed and watched, the
mules munched outside, and the carriers
talked, and the querulous song of some
yer spirit rose above the other voices.
There was a patter of little feet, squeak,
rat, more rats: "They sometimes fall
down through the thin ceiling" friend
had said. We could stand it no longer.
The "HaIl of Ten thousand Fclicities"
had become to us "Temple of Horrors"
and in tile third watch of the night we
had taken to the road once more, and
SAW, below the frosty stars, the lamps of
other carts as they sparkled over the
plain.

New York Times.1

An Anglo-Indian writes from Massoo-
RE to the London News in regard to the
feeling in India toward the home gov
ernment He says:
81 am persuaded that for forty year,
past no Government has produced SO
much distrust in the native mind as the
pr sent. The entire machinery of the
Administration is detoriated, and is
moral tone lowered to such an extent as
to endanger it, stability. Corrupt as is
the state of your finances in England,
ours are ten times worse.
A 'license-tax' wrung from a Starving
population with incomes as low as Sd. per
dav, and then spent on an unjust war to
obtain scientific frontier belo lging to a
neighbor, the resources of the country
eaten up by large native army, necessi-
tating the presence of large European
army to keep it in subjection; semi
military Police, hated most intensely by
the entire population, and beyond doubt
one of the most terrible Instruments Of
oppression ever brought into existence
by any Government among civilized ma
tions; Public Works Department, organ
izel at the cost of millions, and then
nearly destroyed by its organizers in a
financial panic.
might go on to any extent pointing
out the evils of our Administration with

for the present. My object is to warn

Gated him without the controlling and
subduing influence of religion. He is

coming uncomfortable. / do not think
there is spirit of sedition among the
people, but rather one of grief, at the
reckless and useless expenditure and the
inhiction of taxes unsuited to their
habits.
The present fit of economy inspires no
confidence. The clipping begins at the
bottom instead Of the top. The poor
beer-taster is to be cut down or dismisse |;
but what about the Governor-General,
who receives more than the highest-paid
functionary in EuropeS Engineers of
different grades are dismissed or pensioned
wholesale; but what about the Bishop Of
Calcutta, with his more than 10000 per
annum? The promise to introduce ma
tives into the civil service inspires the
people with more confidence than the
promised scheme of economy. A few
sycophants may be promoted-men whose
Ionly claim to distinction rests on the
amount of Aattery with which they sup.
tply their superiors. Honest men have
no chance whatever and there is no hope

Wanted, Some Education.
Penn MOnthly.l


The Hon. Ebenezer Blatherskite has
gathered his class in the town square, and
is giving lessons free to oall who will come.
The sum and substance of his teaching
is that the great contention which has
divided the American people since the
very first period of their united action is
simply struggle between the pure
patriots who rallied to the support of
Blather kite and the knaves and rogues
who dare to differ from him. In the les
sons given by such men this great war of
principle between national authority and
local initiative is reduced to paltrv
squabble between the Gins" and "outs."
The first lessons of economic science form
an equally needful branch of neighbor-
hood education. do not mean that the
teacher is to clear up our ideas on hard
and soft money, or on the comparative
merits of Treasury notes and bank notes.
But, whichever side of the recent conlro-
versy any of my hearers may have taken,
he must have been struck with the
ignorance of first principles which char
acterized those who took the other side.
Their ideas, you observed, were never
clear on the greatpfimary question which
lay behind the currency controversy; and
this shows that there is field for teach
ing quite independent Of the points on
which we differ.

the British officer ofgrenadiers who thrice

Mr.. James Redpath, lately missing, has

Mr.. James Redpath, lately missing, has
been heard from, though there is still
some mystery about his reasons for going
away. And apropos of this, writer in
the Atlantic Monthly for November
states that in Boston alone, during the
last year, there were five hundred and
tifty-five cases of missing persons report
ed to the police, and of these one-third
were women. Though many of them
have been heard from, quite a number
are yet unaccounted for 1t is stated by
Boston detective that there are proba-
bly, two thousand girls in that city to-day
whose place Of living and way of living
are unknown to their friends. The num-
her Of boys who annually disappear and
may or may not be found, is very great.
Unless man has stringent reasons for
mysteriously absconding it is about the
most cruel thing which he can do, except
indeed he happens to have no family and
no friends; and the same is true of wo-
man. There is an intense selfshness in
such an act, for which there is no ex-
cuse.
