What Chinese Ancestor Worship Costs.
IC. F. Gordon Cumming in British Quarterly
Though, of course, this is a subject on
which it is extremely difficult to obtain
anything like accurate statistics, enough
is known to prove that the sums annu-
ally expended throughout the empire in
connection with offerings to the dead
are altogether astounding. In the first
place, the eighteen provinces of the en-
pire are divided into 1920 counties,
and it is estimated that III each of these
an annual average of S18,0 900 is given
as public charity for the destitute dead,
making total of $50, 900, 600 thus ex-
pended at their three annual festivals.
Secondly, the population of 400, 900, 900
persons may be said to represent 80,
900, 600 families, each of which expends
annually on its own ancestors an aver
age of $3.50, making total of $780,
600, coo. Further calculations of the
sums expended in each province for the
Precipitation Of the Hsien deities and the
Foo deities, all on behalf of the dead,

A Successful Colorcd Man.

On Monday, the 9Th instant, the last
will and testament of Samson Hall, col.
ored, was admitted to probate before the
Probate Judge of York County. The
document is plain, business-like paper,
and names Mr.. Peter Garrison as exec
utor. The testator was an industrious
colored man, and while his example is
we'll worthy of imitation by all of bis
race, it should serve as an encouragement
to any of them who may be aspiring to
true citizenship. At the time of his
death Samson was possessed of 1873 acres
of good farming land near Rock Hill,
81 900 in cash, and personal property OF
the value of $500. This is equitably de-
vised among his heirs, consisting of wife
and eight children. Until the close OF
the war he was slave, and his posses
sions were acquired after his freedom by
good management, economy and indus.
try. He worked industriously and raised
his children to work. He was uniyer-
sally respected by the white people Of
his community as honorable and fair in
all his business transactions and with the
merchants of Rock Hill his credit was
always good. He, however, resorted to
the credit system in his purchases very
spariugly. As one example of his
