The population of the city itself is at least 800,000 and that of the suburbs about 400,000. As a seat of learning it pre-ominently distinguished. No fower than 5,200 literary graduates—a term that closely corresponds to that of ‘senior wrangler’ at the university of Cambridge, in England -or more than a quarter of all the scholars in that part of the empire, reside in Foo.Chow. It is also the home of 7,000 ‘literary students, seedy but clever young fellows, who are supported somewhat in the same manner as the ‘poor scholars' of Ireland that is, by teaching and simllar scholastic pursuits. Foo-Chow has considerable inland trade and has greatly enlarged her commerce, especially since the extirpation of pirates. As well as 1 can remem ber, the imports of opium last ¢ 00,000; of food stuffs, 21,000,000, and of foreign goods $45,. 000,000, Special attention is paid to the tea trade, as the Bohea leaf flourishes in the neighborhood of Foo Chow. Per- liaps the most important industry is nav- igation, The Min River, which is navi- gable for 250 miles, to a city called Shau- nai, where a canal connects it with a tributary of the Yang-tse-Kiang, is the home of over 50,000 boatmen. Thou- sands of fishermen also make a good liv- ing by selling sharks’ fins, birds’ nost soup, devilfish, dragonfish, gourami, sea- worm, greenfish and many other species of fish, THE HOME OF PROFESSIONAL The mendicants cf Foo Chow are al- most as famous as its scholars. Indeed, I doubt if any other city has so many professional beggars. The majority are members of two religious societies —that of ‘The Brothers of the Heavenly Rest,’ and that of ‘The Ascociation of the Hea- venly Flower.” An old man who has lost ove log by the disease and who has palsy in the other, is the king of the beggars, His seat is a huge box supported on four wooden wheels, and with a hole in front through which his shrivilled limb is por- truded. He propels himself during the by means of a pole, and at night turns the box over on its side and uses it as a bed-chamber. His woalth is esti- mated at $10,000, which is a large sum in China. ‘It is hard to say why there are so many beggars in_Foo-Chow. Perhaps they are a result of the Tartar conquest. Foo-Chow, you know, was strongiy gar- risoned by the Tartars,and its conquered inhabitants were reduced to slavery and kept so for many generations, At present, though the distinction botween the Chincse and the Tartarsie obliterated over the greater part of the Empire, it can still be plainly observed in Foo- Chow. Indeed, one quarter of the city is inhabited by the descendants of the Tartar conquerors, and 1 ean tell you that, in spite of universal education, a rigorous civil service and competitive ex- aminations, they are excessively proud and arrogant, and much inclined to look down on the less warlike Chinese. STREETS CLEANDR THAN IN NEW YORK. ““Foo-Chow is finely paved with granite blocks, and most of its streets are as clean as Broadway, while none of them are as filthy as Mott and Pell streets in this eity. The drainage is also adrairable considering that the city is built on a spacious, level plain and is even to-day liuble to be inundated by the spring tor- ronts. For this reason the city walls are built of extraordinary strength and the gates in them are fow and small. When a heavy flood comes the gates can be blocked up with banks of earth in a few minutes and the city made waterproof. Thero is never much danger of a famine, a8 the food supply is largely furnished by boats. The city could certainly hold out for many months. A suggestion was wado to us by foreign enginoers that it would Bo well to erect levees, but wo did not ast on it as oxporienco has taught us that the efloct of lovees is gradually to raise the river bed, and thus to increase the evil which they are intended to cure, The municipal government of Foo-Chow is excellont and the people aze very liboral and broad minded.
