THE CHINESE JEWS.
Mystery Surrounding the Origin oi the PeopIe-A sinagogue In
 Nae-FunE-Eoo.

Among the most remote colonies art the Jews of China, who have arousei interesting inquiry and been the theme of many French writers. Early ir the seventeenth century, and short ly after the Italian missionaries had come to Peking. one of them. Matthew Ricci, received morning call. His visitor wore the gorgeous Chinese dress, including the queue. but the figure and face were not Mongolian, and the smiling countenance was not in keeping with the dignitied solemnity of Ghinaman. The gentleman's name was Ngai. and he had heard of the ar. rival of some foreigners who wor shiped one Lord of Heaven and earth and who yet were not Mahometans: he belonged to the same religion. he eX. piained, and had called to make theIT acquaintance. Now, Master Ngai made it clear that he was an Israelite native ot Kae-fung-foo, the capital of IIonan. He had come to Peling to pass an examination for Il mandarin degree. and had been led by curiosity and brotherly feeling to call at the mission house.
 In his native city. he said. there were ten or twelve families of Israelites. and u synagogue which they had recently restored at the expense of 10000 crowns, and they had d roll of the law 400 CT 5o0 years old The missionarys letters described this synagogue. It occupied Il space between 200 and 4OG feet in length by about 150 in breadth md was divided into four courts. Ii had borrowed some decorative splendor from China. The inscription in He. brew: Hear. 0 Israel; the Lord our tod k one Lord, blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom for ever and ever" and the Ten Commandments We're emblazoned in gold. Sill>en eur taiHs iHelosed the "Bethela which en- shrined the sacred books. and which onlN the rabbi might enter during he time of prayer. Every detail of this place. with it's incense. its furniture and all it's types of good things yet to come. is interesting. There in the last century the children of Israel at Kae, fung=foo Worshiped the God of theil fathers with the rites that pointed to the Messiah. of whose advent, as far as il can be ascertained, they never heard until the arrival of the Italian mission aries.
 Learned men have entered into dis cussious as To whether these people were Jews or Israelites, whether they came to China from the AssXrian cap. tisity or the Roman dispersion. They themselves say that their forefathers came from the west; and 1t is probable that the settlers arrived by way of khorassan and Samarcand. They must have been numerous in the ninth cen tnrN for two Mahometan travellers Of that period describe q rebel. named Bae-choo taking Canton by storm in A. D.
