The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of connecting the great sea
ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele
graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
miles at once, between the following port s, viz :
Population.
Canton 1,000.000
Maeoa... 60.000
Hong-Kong 250,000
Swatow 200,000
Amoy 250,000
Foo-Chow 1,250,000
Wan-Chu 300,000
Ningpo 400.000
Hang Cbean 1,200,000
Shanghai 5,006,000
Total .5,910,000
These ports have a foreign commerce of $900.-
000.000. and an enormous domestic trade, beside*
which we have the immense interna' commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through j
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes i
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which mast
command there, ae everywhere else, the commu
nications of the Governmont, of business, and of
social life especially in China Abe has no postal j
system, and ter enfy mesne now ofeommuuicating
information is by I—*, — 1 '-• j
era on water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled ; but
few vet realize that ehe contains more than a third j
of the human race The latest returns made to j
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four hun
dred and Fourteen millions , and this more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate, j
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, J
not only can but do read and write Her civili- i
zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten
sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach- j
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly j
quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili
ty for procuring early information. It ii observed
in California that the Chinese rnaka great Gse of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-dav great numbers of fleet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the transmission of
early intelligence If the telegraph we propose
connecting til their great seaports, were now in
existence, it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the first two years of its suc
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater i
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importance
commercially, politically and evangelically *
stock of this Company has been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
artieles in tho New York Herald, Tribune,
World., Times, Post, Express, Independent, and

j Prepared by Br. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia,
j Their introduction into this country from Ger

1825.
THEY CURED YOLR
FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from W T the many preparations
n-.w in (ti. oomitxy cat I—l leil Killer aor Tonics.
Tbey are no tavern A -"-preparation, or any
thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi
cines. They are
I The greatest inou/n remedies for
\ Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA,
Nervous Deliilitv,
JA UNDUE,
Diseases of the Kidneys,
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN,
and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,
stomach, or
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fullnes
of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach,
Nausea. Heartburn, Disgust for Food. Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc
tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the
Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the
Head, Hurried or Difficult Breathing,
Fluttering at the Heart, Cnoking or
Suffocating Sensa a I tions when in a Eying
Posture, Dimness of V 7 Vision, Dots or Webs
before the sight, Dull Paiu in the Head, Defi
ciency of Perspiration. Yellowness oftbe Skin
and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest,
Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imagi
nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.
All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di
gestive Organs, combined with impure blood.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It
is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,
Herbs, and Barks from which these extracts are
made, are gathered in Gerraauy. All the medi
cinal virtueus are ex tracted from them by
a scientific Chemist, i ft These extracts are
then forwarded to this country to be used ex
pressly fvr the manutauturo of these Bitters.
There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used
in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only
Bitters that can be used in esses where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all tho ingredients of the Bit
ters, with pi'Ri Santa Cruz Rum, Orange, etc. It
is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
\ on will bear in mind that these remedies are en
tirely different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth- I
era are mere decoctions of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public Its
M.ste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it. while
its life-giviug. exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of
•11 tonloa.
DEBILITY.
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic -> in cases of Debility.
They impart a tone 1-4 and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen JL the appetite, cause an
enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di
gest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound, ;
healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge i
from the eye. impart a bloom to the ohecks, and
change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci
ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced. !
stout, and vigorous person.
Weak and Delicate Children are
made strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. In j
fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be ;
administered with perfect safety to a child three
months old, the most delicate female, or a man of
ninety.
These remedies are the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from bad bloed. Keep your blood pure; keep
your Liver in order, w- keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I healthy condition by
the use of these rente XI dies, and no diseases
will ever assail you. The best men in thecountry
recommend them If years of honest reputation
go for anything, you must try these preparations.
FROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia.
I'tt. LADCLPHIA, March 16 : 1867.
I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters" iB not
an iutoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use
ful in disorders of the digestive organs, and of
great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner
vous action in the system.
Yours Tnil v.
GEO." W. WOODWARD.
FROM IION. JAMES TAOMPSON.
Judge of the Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA. April 28, 1856
I consider "Hoofland's German Bitters" a valua
ble medicine in case . of attacks of Indiges
i tion or Dyspepsia. I \ can certify this from
my experience of it. Yours, with respect,
JAMES THOMPSON.
FROM REV. JOSEPH H. KENNARD, D D ,
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Dtt. JACXSOS — DEAR SIB: —I have been fre
quently requested to connect my name with rec
o'mmendationa of different kinds of medicines, but
regarding the piaotiee as out of my appropriate
sphere, I'have in all eases declined ; but with a
clear proof in various instances, and particularly
in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoot
land * German Bitters, I depart for once from
my usual course, to express my full conviction
that for general debility of the system, and es
pecially Tor Liver Com -far" p'aint, it is a safe
and valuable prepara (Vi tion. In some eases
it may fail; bnt usual-i- a ly, I doubt not, it
will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the
above causes. Yours, very respectfully,
J H. KENNARD,
Eigth, below Coates Street.

THE following is from the New
York Methodist. We have no dispo
sition to make any comment, says the
j Baltimore Episcopal Methodist , and
j lay it before our readers as we find it,
asking them only to remember that it
is an extract from a published sermon
j
| by tiie leader of New England Metho
! dism, and that Mr. Haven confidently
| claims Dr. Eddy as a co-iaborator and
Charles St. Church in Baltimore as the
chosen scene for the beginning of the
great reformation in Maryland; a re
formation in which a mulatto complex
ion is to be the sigu and seal of the in
visible grace. The first part of the ex
tract will be read with disgust; the
last paragraph with horror;
THE REV. GILBERT IIA VEN'B HKKMON. I
We promised in our last to give a
fuller specimen front the sermon of j
the editor of Eion's Herald that was j
contained in our first extract. We do
this injustice to Mr. Haven, inasmuch I
as we characterized the entire passage

The passage in which reference is
made to the "complexion of our Lord,"
is the following: "But equality at tHo

the coming government. There must

such a steadfast expression of Its con
viction, such an employment of its in
fluence, as will tend to the abolition
ofthe whole mass of prejudice that
still defies the national heart. I am
aware that this evil cannot be utterly
abolished by any enactments. The
leprosy lies deep within. It dwells in
our churches, in our souls, iu our ed
ucation, in society. It still makes us
look at a face with repulsion which is

NO BEAUX ANYWHERE.
No beaux! Absolutely no beaux!
Well young ladies, stop and consider,
if, after all, you yourself have not pro
nounced the sentence of banishment.
"We? We banish them? Good
gracious! Is ;t not for them we have de
vised ail this elaboration of adorn
ment? We, indeed! Were we not
for weeks, before we came to these
j odious mountains, where men are as
' S(> arce as French iiair dressers, closeted
with our dressmarkers and milliners
to produce these bewitching 'suits,'
, long and short, for morning aud eve
ning, out-door and in-door wear?
I lave we not cool dresses and warm
dresses; dresses for rain, dresses for
sunshine, dresses for neutral weather,
with ribbons, gloves, sashes, parasols,
hats and fans to 'match,' to the ini
nuest shade? For whom should we I
• take ail that trouble but for the beaux ?
j And how are we responsible fur their
disgusting absence ?"
Listen, my dears, for in that which
you have just said lies your offence.
Can damsels thus arrayed walk in the
woods, climb the mountaius (except in
poetry?) Can they take even an or
dinary, mild walk, without mortal
terror of periling their millinery?—
Must they not, therefore, "ride," mor
ning, afternoon and evening, every
where, to the delectation of the stable
keepers, and the consequent pecuniary
depletion of the "beaux?" These
beaux, whose fathers may be rich, but
whose sons have yet to fill their in
dividual coffers; these beaux, who have
just so much to expend when they get
away from a summer holiday, and
who do not desire to pour it all into
the pockets of the stable-keepers; these
beaux, who can get vastly more fun
oat of their purses, and make them
last longer, with a party of "the fel
lows"—this is the reason that, with
rare exceptions, you have to throw
away these ravishing toilettes on your
own sex, when you play croquet, or sit
on the piazza, dreaming of the "com
ing man."
My dears, he won't come! He
knows too much. He has seen his
sister's millinery and mantua-maker
bills, aud heard the family discussion
thereon ; and though he acknowledges
your fascinations even through all the
absurd toggery you are doomed by
fashion's slavery to have and to wear,
lie lias yet to make the fortune to en
able him to foot his angel's bills. So
be runs away from you, discreetly;
runs off fishing, or gunning with the
fellows, ant], wiser than you, conies
home brown, hale and hearty for the ;
winter months, instead of perspiring
at joui side in tight boots and yellow
kids,
IVv vn.. ®
my dear, if you have been ushered in
to the world in coach and six, till your
feet and hands have become paralyzed
for want of use, that is your misfortune,
and your fault. Because that necessi
tates a rich husband. And as there
are very few rich young husbands, you
will have to bid good bye to your
girlish ideal, and marry the bold-head
ed, gouty Mr. Smith, who was born
at the same time as your own father.
This, my dears, you will have to do,
or face your nightmare, single blessed
ness.
I have looked at you playing cro
quet, without a coat-tail among you ; :
i have seen you driving yourself out in ■
your pretty little phaetons; and j
thought you put a brave face on it. 1
knew very well what is going on under :
that gay little sash of yours; and I j
think it is a pitty that you should J
have been brought up to many artifi-1
cial wants, that your heart must go ;
hungry in life's spring-time because of
them.
My dears I never lacked beaux at
your age. But a walk in the woods, or
in the city either, involved no expense
to my beaux. I could climb a fence,
where there was no gate, or where
there was either ; I was not afraid of
dew or rain because my dress was sim
ple. My gifts were not diamonds, ;
but flowers, or books. My mother j
would not have allowed me to ride
with gentlemen, had they asked.—
When they came to spend the evening
1 our tray of refreshments did not in
: volve a "French cook."
So you see my dear, though I had no
I silk dresses, I had plenty of beaux, and
a gay heart; and I enjoyed a sail with
! an old sun-bonnet over my curls, or a
j moonlight ramble with a merry party,
much better than you do "the Ger
man;" and half an hour was sufficient
warning for me to "dress" for any
kind of party—in doors or out—be
cause, unlike you, I was not bothered
to choose from twenty dresses which to
wear ; an : 1 will give you leave to ask
of my beaux, who are now granfathers
if 1 was not able at that timo to settle
their accounts! And it is because I
had such a good time that I feel vexed
that your youth and prettiness should
so often go a-begging—through no fault
of yours; and you may show this to
your mothers, and tell them I say so.
Sometimes a girl says no to an offer,
when it is as plain as the nose on her
face that she means yes. The best
way to judge whether she is in earnest
or not, is to look straight into her eyes
and never mind her noes.

| The culture of Trees.-The recent re
port of 'he U. S. Agricultural Depart
ment contains a valuable essay, contri
buted by J. M. Edmunds, late Commis
sioner of the Land Office. Great evils
i will result to the country, it is predic
i unless the axe of the woodman is
i restrained. It is asserted that, except
in the mountain regions, nearly the
entire surface from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi has been despoiled of its
primeval forest growth, and that no
j where have flat arable lands been al
lowed to reproduce the forest growth.
Fhree-fourths of the original store of
timber, it is believed, have already
been consumed. The untimbered sur
i face of the plains between the Missis
i sippi and the Pacific amounts to four
teen hundrod thousand sou are miles,
and it is asserted that, by a little arti
ficial effort, forests may be gradually
extended over this large area. Expe
riments thus lar made have proved
successful. Trees to the number of
millions have been produced from the
seed to almost every forest species by
the unaided efforts of a single associa
tion in Nebraska.
Prepared Seasoning.— A writer on
cookery gives the following recipe for
preparing a delicious seasoning. Place
in a paper bag one-quarter of an ounce
of thyme, one-quarter ounce of bay
leaf, one-eight ounce of majoram, and
one-eighth ounce rosemary; put the
bag into a moderately heated oven, till
the herbs are dry ; then mix them in a
mortar with half an ounce of nutmegs,
half an ounce of cloves, a quarter of an
ounce of pepper, one eighth of an ounce
of ceyenne pepper, pound the whole
and press through a hair seive. Keep
this mixture in a dry, well-corked bot
tle. These spices are to be used either
alone or with salt added ; the propor
tion for mixing with salt is one ounce
of the mixture to four ounces of fine
salt. Oue ounce of the spiced salt is
sufficient to season three pounds of
forcemeat.
Some } ears since a wild-goose was
shot in Washington Territory, and a
few grains of wheat were taken from
his craw. Being very large and full,
they were preserved and planted. The
yield was found so great as to lead to
its propagation, until this variety
which is known in the territory as the
"Goose wheat," has become a standard
one in that section of the country.
Samples of this wheat were recently
sent to the Agricultural Departmental
Washington. Upon examining the
samples at the Museum, of which there
are some 2,000 varieties, the same
wheat was found, being one of the sam
ples sent from the Paris Exposition,

We have great faith in corbolic soap,
and this may be applied without fear
of injury to the animals. The wool
should be parted, and the solution
squirted in from a bottle with a quill
in the cork, or poured from an oil can
with a small nozzle. If ewes yean early
have a care that the iambs do not get
chilled; visit the pens frequently.—
Chilled lambs, apparautly past succor,
may often be revived by bringing to
the fire, giving warm baths, followed
by friction with dry cloths, and a lit
tle mild milk punch.
A Maine man gives his method of
treating balky horses: "Let me in
form humane men and hostlers, and
all who hold the rein, that the way to
cure balky horses is to take them from
the carriage, and whirl them rapidly
round till they are giddy. It requires
two men to accomplish this—one at
the horse's tail. Don't let him step
| out. Hold him to the smallest possi
| ble circle. One dose will often cure
; him ; two doses generally will; three
doses are final with the worst horse
' that ever refused to stir."
Breeding Animals must be well fed.
I A quart or two of oil meal daily, or an
! equivalent of rye bran mixed, is good.
If loots are plenty, cut up and feed four
! to eight quarts a day with the meal; if
j not, save them until just before calv
i ing, and after that, to be used until
i grass comes, or the rye for soiling is fit
i to cut.
I
Mares should be treated in very
much the same way ; a few carrots are
an excellent addition to the diet, and
roots and oil cake may be fed freely if
care be taken that they do not induce
too great laxuess of the bowels; consti
; patiou is to be always guarded against
I in animals approaching partuition.
The disease known as glanders con
sists essentially of ulceration of the car
tilages of the nose, distinctly develop
ed. There is scareoely a chance of re
covery when once fully seated, and, as
the disease is contagious, there is lit
; tie inducement to keep the animal.
Red Ants.— Wash and wipe thorough
ly your safes, cupboards, &c.; then sprin
kle on salt, and rub it well into the
wood, not neglecting the cracks and
crevices. This application, properly
applied, will relieve you of their an
noyance.
Cows. —Prepare roomy, loose boxes
for cows to calve in, and litter them
well. The cows may be kept tied un
! til the time actually comes, when it is
I best to give them the freedom of the
; box.
To Restore -WE—When milk has
become turned by heat, it can be made
sweet again and perfectly restored l>y
mixing with it a small quantity of
carbonate of magnesia.
To soften hard water. —Dissolve two
tablespoonfuls of quick lime in nine
quarts of water, and stir this well into
a barrel of hard water, and let it stand
twenty-four hours.
forest leaves make an excellent
mulch, and when rotted an excellent
manure.
Good fences pay better than the law
suits with neighbors.
