Great was the good man's consterna tion when he found be had been say lng, "Call the pigs, oh, my friends; call the pigs!" f Ills mistake, I believe, was due entirely to putting the accent on the wrong syllable, which altered the whole sense of the words. The Chinese seem to regard a for eigner speaking Chinese like Dr. John son regarded women preaching. "It Is like a dog standing on his hind legs' said the learned doctor.
