Chinese Parental Authority.

A remarkable event occurred at
TsingKiang-Pu. A man by the name
Of King had son who made his ia
Their and mother close face" because
Of the wild. rakish life he led. He
gambled, loafed, smoked opium, etc.
If he stole, his father would be taken
to the yamen, and the whole family
would suffer for the sons villainy, and
the vital question was, How could the
family be protected? At last they ar
rived at the conclusion that the only
way to protect the father and mother
was to take extreme measures with
the son, which they did with venge-
ance. The father and uncle took him
out among the graves, followed by a
crowd Of curious neighbors and
friends, and, putting a rope around
his neck, each relation pulled on an
end. and the son was put beyond ruin
ing the family in this world.-North
China Herald.
