®tte têxztttt&êmrt
education in china.
[Sir John Bowling ia Shilling Magazin».]
Every family in China is ambitious that
at least one of itw members should obtain
literary eminence; to accomplish this ob
ject every sacrifice is made, every exertion
called to action. All bank in the sunshine
of success, and share the triumphs of the
fortunate competitor, whose honors are
concentrated on his raoe, which is raised
in the social scale by his elevation. He
becomes in fact the oracle of his clan, to
be consulted by all who bear the family
name, and the family names in China do
not exceed six hundred. The educational
machinery iu China, imperfect though it
be, constitutes the most efficient hold
which the Government possesses for secu
ring the loyality and obedience of the peo
ple, while it bridles and controls the des
potic tendencies of the local (mandarins.
It is the least corrupted party of the whole
administration.
Writing in China is, to a great extent
pictorial, and the mental process by which
character conveys an idea is not necessari
ly associated with the use of words. In
writing Chinese the camel hair pencil is
held between the middle and fourth finger
perpendicularly on the paper. There are
many varieties of character ; some fanci
ful in the extreme. The vase character,
in which all the farms are rectangular,
was the ancient mode, from the facilities
it afforded in engraving. It is generally
employed in ornamental inscriptions.
The official character, which is about
1800 years old, is bolder, blacker, and less
fine than the ordinal y type, and bears
something the same reference to it that
Roman capitals have to common letters.
The type most Used now for printing, and
imitated in writing, is what is called the
"pattern," and is taught in all schools.
In this "running" hand the parts of a
di&racter are connected'with one another,
and the writing is more rapidily per
formed. The flower or plant character is
still more loose and flowing, and is not
easily read ; it has, however, a graceful
and attractive appearance. In the tenth
century-the character was introduced. It
is stifl'er than the ''pattern," which has
superseded these and other varieties ; the
tadpole character, the bamboo character,
the bird character in which resemblances
to the objects pervade all forms.
The decimal numbers are used in Chi
nese far more commonly than by any other
people. Children are taught to reckon up
to 9y99 on their fingers by making the
different joints of the left hand represent
units, tens, cents, mills, and ten thou
sands. The various parts of the body are
called the hundred members. A decimal
phraseology pervades the whole extent of
language—some tens, some hundreds,
some thousands, some tens of thousands
are the forms by which expression is given
to quantities and numbers.
The Chinese mind, like a horse in a
mill, is ever treading the same dull,
narrow round which has been trod for
ages ; it is harnessed to the routine ex
plored by succssive generations. Will not
a day of emancipation come, and fields be
explored, which have hitherto afforded no
temptation to curiosity or inquiry ? The
cheapness of the means of education will
offer great facilities. Writing materials,—
paper, iuk, pencils, books,—cost but lit
tle. Multitudes of books are sold for less
than a farthing each. The common price
of a printed sheet is a tsien, of which
twenty make a penny. There are abun
dance of book stalls in the streets and
squares of Chinese cities, where popular
literature is provided at rates marvelously
low.
JS®*" A great excitement took place in
tho African M. E. Church, in the Second
Ward in this city, on Thursday evening.
The learn «d sable preacher was in the
midst of an elegant sermon, and he was
giving his flock some good advice concern
ing the Christian doctrine of morality,
when one of the "brederen" arose trom his
seat and informed the preacher that he
had better practice what he preached be
fore advisiDg others This led to a general
row, and the meeting broke up in a great
tight. The "sisters" hurried home as soon
as possible, leaving the "brederen" en
gagea in a wool-pulling battle. We have
not learned which party came out victori
ous, but we learu that several pounds of
w iol were picked up in the church yester
day morning, and noticed several bunged
upand swollen noses on the streets yester
dav, which shows that the contest was
terrible. This was a most disgraceful
scene, and we trust the participants will
be brought to justice.— Houston Telegraph,
An aeronaut in this city is raÄing
a bridal-car balloon. It is intended that
persons so minded can be married and
make the'r wedding tour in it, and the
first marriage ceremony will take place on
or about the first proximo.— Petersburg
( Va.) Express.
If young people cannot mount toward
heaven upon the occasion of their marriage
without the help of a balloon, we think
they had better stay single.- LcmitfiUe
Journal.
a M onstrosity .—Yesterday we ex
amined one of the greatest curiosities
we ever looked upon; it was lia'f
boise itnd half negro. It was foaled
in tlie Government corral some months
ago, the dam having carried it nine
months. The borly is almost a perfect
horse, with a curly pig's tail, and bead
and face resembling a Congo negro.
It lived about eight hours after being
foaled aud was presented to Dr.
•L'oie m s n.— Nashville Gazette.
D octor and D octress .—In coming
down Dauphiue street, a French friend
of ours called our attention to a sign
on wiiich was painted "doctress." "Is
that EngR*h ?" said be. "yes," we an
swered, "Webster has it in his book."
"But suppose we French would say
'medecine if a roan married such a
oni' he would be taking a medecine
(a dose) wouldn't be?" We thought
it quite likely that be would—but pur
sued the object »0 farther !— Mobile
