Archdeacon Grey preached only to some forty of us (there are now not over one hundred foreigners in all Canton, so much, has Hong Kong killed off the for- eign trade of the city), but Archdeacon Grey has been in China now some twenty-five years, and has caught up, or been jnfected by, the rhetoric of China. I could not understand half what he said— nothing, when he was eloquent, and " eloquence," you know, is often the death of all sense. The Shamien settle- ment of Canton is the beautiful spot... of the city. The houses are almost all palaces, the walks and gar- dens as useful and as pretty as taste and climate can make them. Shamien was built up by the English and French Governments from a mud-flat island, and the filling of it up cost some $325,000. All the merchants left in Canton are now there, except the two American houses of Smith, Archer & Co. and of Eussell & Co., who have built upon the old original THINGS IN CANTON. 273 Factory site, associated now with so much of Chinese Canton history.
