Orient Relieves Us Lazy.


1t is startling to learn from thu
greatest living authority upon the
japanese, Prof. Chamberlain, that
from hints dropped by several of
the educated, and from the still
more interesting, because frankly
naive, remarks made by japanese
servants whom have taken with me
to Europe at different times, found
that the travelled Japanese consider
our three most prominent character
istics to be dirt, laziness, and super
stition."
That we should seem relatively
lazy to the Japanese and Chinese is
Iintelligible when we consider their
dogged and indomitable industry. l
remember being greatly struck by
the following instance Of Chinese
industry given in Sir George Staun-
tons account of Lord Macartney's
experience as ambassador to China,
compiled from his lordship's papers.
Lord Mccartney in passing through
one part of the Chinese empire no.
ticed a man suspended by rope
hanging halfway down a precipice.
Thinking that he was collecting
birds eggs, like the men who are so
suspended from the cliffs of Moher
in Glare, Lord Mccartney stopped to
watch and to find that he was culti-
waiting a little plateau of few yards
OF land. He grew vegetables upon
number of these jutting out coigns
of vantage, but all of them
together did not amount TO
extent to half an acre. At
the bottom of the precipice he
lived with a wife and a large family,
whom he supported by his industry
hanging daily halfway down the
dizzy cliff, like one that gathers
samphire, dreadful trade!"
Apropos of the embassy of Lord
Mccartney to China, l cannot resist

celestial intellect was feebly Hum
mated. and it became necessary TO
call a cabinet council on the grand
state question, where was the
emperor to sit?' The hammer clotn
bappened to be unusually gorgeous,
and partly on that consideration,
and partly also because the box Of
fered the most elevated seat, was
nearest to the moon, and undeniabiy
went foremost, 1t was resolved by
acclamation that the box was the
imperial throne, and for the scound-
rel who drove, he might sit where he
could find a perch"
4 "The horses, therefore, being har-
nessed," De Quincy proceeds,
"solemnly his imperial majesty as
ccnded his new English throne under
flourish of trumpets, having the
first lord Of the treasury on his right
hand and the chief Jester on his left.
Peking gloried in the spectacle; and
in the whole fowery people, con-
structively present by representation,
there was but one discontented per-
son, and that was the coachman.
This mutinous individual audacious-
" shouted, Where am l to sit?' But
the privy council, incensed by his
disloyalty, unanimously opened the
door and kicked him into the inside.
He had all the inside places to him
self; but such is the rapacity OF
ambition that he was still dissatis-
fed. 4 say, he cried out in an ex-
tempore petition addressed to the
emperor through the window I say,
how am to catch hold of the reins?'
Anyhow was the imperial answer,
don't trouble me, man, in my glory,
How catch the reins? Why, through
the windows, through the keyhole-
anyhow Finally this contumacious
coachman heightened the check
strings to a sort of jury reins COM
municating with the horses, and
with these he drove as steadily as
Picking had any right to expect. The
emperor returned after the briefest
or circuits. He decended in great
pomp from his throne, with the
severest resolution never to remount

thenceforward as a votive offering to
the god Fo-Fo-whom the learned
more accurately call Fi-Fi."

less country than a continent.
China, indeed, is so vast, SO
