| In an article in a London newspaper' on the subject of the recent no<s m ( ■ China, the writer TH E makes it clear that CHINESE mots, tb^y are less anti missionary than' anti-foreign. He statss that tbe abuse ©oured upon missionaries by the rougher element as they walk the Streets has never had any reference t:» their religious tenets. The cry is always •' foreign devils." The reason why missionaries (with the exception of a Customs officer at Wusuch) have hitherto been singled out as victims, is the fact that tbey are foreigners in the interior, comparatively isolated, and nearly always unarmed. A few years of residence gains them the good will of the populate, which may itself mark them out as the object of official jealousy. They represent countries where justice is known to be more than ft Egure of speech, and their presence reveals the corruptions of mandarin dom by contrast. These corruptions have been responsible for the fall of every dynasty which has fallen. Ihe system of mandarindom has survived through the centuries because the ■ Chinese, as a whole, have no notion of any other form of government. The Chinese everywhere are perpetually Inquiring of any foreigner who can speak their language as to the prin ciples of government in his country, and they receive the information which no Englishmen, however averse to revolution, can well refrain from giving them. The anti-Mandarin Taiping rebellion is not a very dis tant fact, when the intervention of Great Britain was on the Im perialist side.
