They know this, and en- deavor to stem these influences in all we a in their power, hoping to keep the peop e 'bmkward and in ignorance. and to retard their progress to the some pace (sic) they themselves go, if it can be called a pace at all. "It may be asked. How can the present state of things be altered I How can China maintain the high position that the wealth, industry, and innate goodness of 'the Chin- ese people entitle her to have among the nations of the world 2 Some may say b the revolt of this Chinaman or of that 0 ins.- man. To me this seems most undesirable, for, in the ï¬rst place, such action would not have the blessing of God, and, in the second, it would result in the country being plung- ed into civxl war. The fair, upright, and open courso for the Chinese people to take is to work. through the press and by peti- tions, on the central overnment, and to re- quest them to move tom Pekin and bring themselvesthns ’into mom“ nnfson‘wit‘n‘ the Chinese people, and thus save that people the constant humiliation they have got to put up with owing to the seat of the central government being at Pekin. This recom- mendation would need no secret societies, no rebellion, no treason. “taken up and persevered in, it must succeed, and not one life need be lost. “In spite of the opinion of some foreign- ers, it will be generally acknowledged that the Chinese are contented and happy, and .the country is rich and prosperous, and that the people are au fond united in their sentiments and ardently desire to remain a nation. At constant intervals, however, the whole of this human hive is stirred by some dispute between the Pekin Government and some foreign power. The Chinese people, proud of their ancient prestige, applaud the hlgh tone taken up by the Pekin Govern‘ ment, crediting the government with the power to support their strong words. This goes on for a time when the government gives in, and corresponding vexation is felt by the people. The recurrence of these dis- putes, the inevitable surrender ultimately of the Pekin Government, has the tendency of shaking the Chinese people's~ conï¬dence in the central government. The central government appreciate the fact that little by little their prestige is being destroyed by their own notions among the Chinese people: each crisis then becomes more accentuated or difï¬cult to surmount, as the central government know; each concession is an- other nail in their cofï¬n. The central gov- ernment fear that the taking up of a'spirited position by any pre-eminent Chinese would carry the Chinese people with him. and therefore the central government endeavor to keep up appearances and to skirt the precipice of war as near as they possibly can, while never intending to enter into war. The following memorandum w'aa drawn up by Gen. (Chinese) Gordon in.1881 for the information of- the .Chinese Government, and has many points of interest in the pre- sent situation :â€" “It is therefore a maxim that ‘no progress can be made by the Pekin Government.’ To them any progress, "- whether slow or quick. is synonymous-with slaw of'quick ex- tinction, for they will ngver mov'b. “The term, 'PekinGovel-nment’ is used advisedly, for if the central government Were moved from Pekin into some province where the pulsations and aspirations of the Chinese people could have their legitimate effect, then the central government and Chinese people having a. unison of thought, would work together. “The central government at Pekin could not answer the Chinese people except in the afï¬rmative when the Chinese people say to the central government :â€"-‘By you residing alooffroni us in Pekin, .where you fire ex- osed to danger; you éépnmte 35:. interest rom yours, and you bring on If! humilia- from yours, and you bring on 'tfs‘ humilia- tion which we would never have to bear if don resided in the interior. Take our ap- pIioation into consideration and grant our winhes.’ ' r How to divide ï¬ve eggs between three people is a problem which might fairly puz~ zle a philosopher, but ,the practical genius of Prince Bismarck has Solved that. as it has many other difï¬culties which have proved too much for profound thinkers. The only wonder is that, as he made the discovery as manyes thirteen years ago, it should only now have been given to the world in the pages of the Deutsche Revue. It appears that it was on the evening 0 Gravelotte, after a day when the prinpe, li e everybody else had had nothing to eat, and was hungry â€"hungrier, we may presume, than anybody. He had, however, the good fortune to secure ï¬ve eggs for twenty francs, and the gener- osity to share them with two of his compan- ions. But foreseeing the mathematical dif- ï¬culty which would arie were he to attempt an equal division, he took the precaution to eat two of the ï¬ve himself ï¬rst, and then dashed off to his comrades, and with a great show of magnanimity made a. fair distribu- tion of the remaining three, keeping to him- self all knowledge of the two he had so con- veniently got rid of. A repacious statesman would have kept all the e as, and a Quixotic statesmen would have ept only one of them. But it is Prince Bismarek’s peculiar distinction to combine sedulous attention to the interests of'number one with an effec- tive display of unselï¬shness. He has div- ided countries ere now on the principle on which he dealt with the ï¬ve eggs.-â€"Pall Mall Gazette “I have been kindly treated by the central Pekin Government and by the Chinese peeple ; it is for the welfare of both parties that! have written and signed this paper. I may have expressed myself; too strongly with respect to the non- progressive state of the Pekin Government, who may deire the welfare of the middle kingdom as erdently as any other Chinese; but as long as the Pekin Government allows themselves to be led and directed by those drones of the hive, the censors, so long must the Pekin Govern- ment bear the blame earned by those drones in plunging China into difï¬culties.

I had heard vaguely of the existence of a. spot in Galilee where a community ovaews lived who claimed to be the descendants of fami- lies who had tilled the land in this same 10- cality prior to the destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent dispersion of the race; and as it had never been suspected that any remnant of the nation had clung to the soil of their fathers from time immemorinl,and as" it is certain that this is the only remnant that has, I took some trouble to eseertsin the name of the village, and felt that it was worth a pilgrimage to visit it.
