Chinese Scw Year Customs.

Thecusfom of giving presents and par
ticularly that of exchanging New Years
calls il essentially Chinese. The coinci-
dcnce Of these two rather peculiar acts
Of brothorly love consisting in Holland
and Scotland should furnish cause for
thought. 1t il a little singular certainly
that the Chinese, who are not an over
charitable or :orgiving race. should en-
Join the forgiveness of all debts ut the
beginning of the new year.
1t is an amusing spectacle in China to
see the creditor mercilessly hunting down
the debtor during the few days that re-
main. 80 one is exempt from the neces-
sity. for in order to pay his own debts he
must in turn collect what is due to him.
The debtor VINO cannot fulfill his obliga-
tons by New Years goes into bankrupt
cy by the operations of custom stronger
than law. He undoubtedly earns the con-
tempt of his fellow men. but at least no
is free from their persecution. His debts
are forgiven with quite as much sincerity
as could he expected under the circum-
stances.
Besides this painful phase of Chinese
Yuletide there are other preparations to
be made for the fitting celebration Of the
great three day festival, beginning with
the first day of the first month. The
red peach paper which has been removed
from the doorway must lie replaced, and
therefore about this time the profession
al letter writer of the Chinese quarter
takes his station on the street corner and
is busily employed in writing sentences
of good omen. Naturally some Of these
gentlemen are more popular than 9TH
ers. letter writer vino claims to have
passed one Of the inferior civil service
examinations, or who mt one time has
been connected with fashionable Joss
house, being norc in demand than Inc
who has picked up his smattering Of
knowledge Mt school, or by what is an
important factor in Chinese education
| self help.
1t is quite customary also to bring
these red paper slips to the josshouse,
| where for trifling fee they are stamped
with the seal Of the joss. Certainly it is
worth taking some trouble with n little
piece Of paper which is to do duty for
| nn entire year, for as soon rs the slips
have been prepared and stamped they
are glued TO the doOrposts against the
time when the evil spirits shall return
and make the last state Of the man worse
than the first. The moral which the
Saviour pointed out to his disciples. that
spasmodic effort is inevitably followed
by reactions unfavorable to the true
spiritual development, is fully borne out
by the history Of the Chinese people,

which Mr. Willis was unable to promise. This
proposition. 1t is asserted, is among the matters
which Mr. Willis has laid before the State De-
partment and asked instructions upon.
wILLIs's REPORT TO GRESHAM.
In brief. 1t is said, Mr.. Willis reports:
"A condition of things in the islands which
makes 1t impossible for him to restore the status
quo without direct resort to force. which is
forbidden to him.
IAN indisposition the part of the Queen
to resume the Government without guarantees
OF protection from the United States.
"A proposition to condOne the wrong which
the United States. by It's Executive. admits has
been done and to relinquish all her titular
rights. we'll whatever claim she may have
upon the valuable crown lands. for the lump
sum Of $500. 000.''
This theory Of the situation. as already said.
has been pieced out from disconnected hints
derived from the best sources Of information.
and is generally accepted as being very near
the truth.
Mr. Thurston has gone to San Francisco so as
to be close at hand when the next steamer ar
rives from Hawaii and ready. II the necessity
appears, to return to Honolulu and take the lead
in another revolutionary movement, If there
should be any apparent necessity for this course.
