Anson Bnrlingame) conceded to this Com pany the privilege of conneeting the great sea- j 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 , viz : Population. Canton ~ 1,000,000 Macoa 60.000 Hong-K0ng..... 250,000 Swatow 200,000 Amoy . 250,000 Foo-Chow 1,250,000 Wan-Chu 300,000 Ningpo.... 680,000 Hang Chean 1,200,000 Shanghai 1.006.000 Total 5,910,000 These porta have a foreign commeree of $900,- 000,000. and an enormous domestic trade, besidee which we have the immense internal commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through its canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means of communication, which must command there, as everywhere else, the cominu niaations of the Government, of business, and of social life especially ia China She has no postal system, and her only means newofaoa-muuicating information it h* ° U " J —* k r ers on water. The Western World knows that China is a very large oountry, in the main deutely peopled ; but few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race The latest returns made to j her central authorities for taxing purposes by the loc*l magistrate make her population Four hun- \ dred and Fourteen millions, and this more likely to be under than over the actual aggregate, j Nearly ail of these, who are over ten years old, not only can but do read and write. Her civili zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili ty for procuring early information. It is obeerved in California that the Chinese make great use of . the telegraph, though it there transmits messages in English alone. To-day 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 all their great seaports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would j pay the cost within the first two years of ita sue- I cessful operation, and would steadily increase j thereafter. No enterprise commends itself as in a greater i degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our i whole people.

They are entirely different from -g ~f the many preparations .. i tt. mnnirjr t.l I—l lad Bitters or Tonics. They are no tavern A J-preparatien, or any thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi cines. They are The greatest known remedies for Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA, Nervous Debility, JAUNDI'JE, Diseases of the Kidneys, ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN, and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver, stomaeb, 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, Choking or Suffocating Ser.sa I 1 tions when in a Lying Posture. Dimness ofVision, Dots or Webs before the sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Defi ciency of Perspiration. Yellowness oftbe Skiu 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 Germany. All the medi cinal virtueus are ex traded from them by a scientific Chemist, fl 1 These extracts are then forwarded to this country to be used ex pressly for the manufacture of these Bitters There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only Bitters that ean be used in esses where alcoholic stimulants are not advisable. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC is a combination of all ths ingredients of the Bit ters, with PUR* Santa Crux Rum. Orange, etc. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required. You 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 ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form. The TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the puhlie. Its taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali ties hare caused it to be known as the greatest of •U tonics. DEBILITY. There is no medicine equal to Hoofiand's Ger man Bitters or Tonio in cases of Debility. They impart a tone |q 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 oomplexion, eradicate the yellow tinge from the eye, impart a bloom to the checks, and change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faeed. j stout, and vigorous person. Weak and Delicate Children are made strong by using the Bitters or Tonio. In j fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be administered with perfect safety to a ohild 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, - keep your digestive organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by the use of these reme A d dies, and no diseases will ever assail you. The best men in the country 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. PHILADELPHIA, March 18, 1807. I find that "Hoofiand's German Bitters" is not an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonio, 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 \'ruly. GEO. W. WOODWARD. FROM HON. JAMES TAOMPSON. Judge of the Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, April 28, 1886 I consider '-Hoofiand's German Bitters" a valua ble medicine in case . of attack? of Indiges tion or Dyspepsia. I \ can certify this from my experience of it. -AJL Yours, with respect, 1 r JAMES THOMPSON. FROM REV JOSEPH H. KENXARD, D. D., Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia. DR. JACKSON — DEAR SIR: —I have been fre uuently requested to connect my name with rec | (immendations of different kinds of medicines, but I regarding the piactice as out of my appropriate | sphere, I have in all cases declined ; but with a j clear proof in various instances, and particularly | in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoot j land s 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 for Liver Com -wy plaint, it is a safe and valuable prepara Yi tion. In some cases it may fail ; bnt usual 1 1 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 CoatesStreet.

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 I 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 ateurd toggery you are doomed by fashion's slavery to have and to wear, he has yet to make the fortune to en able him to foot his angel's bills. So he ruus away from you, discreetly; runs off fishing, ur gunning with the "fellows," and, wiser than you, conies home brown, hale and hearty for the winter mouths, instead of perspiring at your side iu tight boots and yellow kids. my&ear, 1 ifyou 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 ; 1 have seen you driving yourself out in your pretty little phaetons; and thought you put a brave face on it. I knew very well what is going on under that gay little sash of yours; and I think it is a pitty that you should have been brought up to many artifi 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 w'as not afraid of dew or rain because my dress was sim ple. My gifts were not diamonds, but flowers, or books. My mother would not have allowed me to ride with gentlemen, had they asked. — When they came to spend the evening our tray of refreshments did not in volve a "French cook." So you see my dear, though 1 had no silk dresses, I had plenty of beaux, and a gay heart; and I enjoyed a sail with an old sun-lKßinet over my curls, or a 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 wa3 not bothered to choose from twenty dresses which to wear ; an.i I will give you leave to ask of my beaux, who are now granfathers if I was not able at that time to settle their accounts! Aud it is because I hud such a good time that I feel vexed that your youth and prettiuess 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. An Irishman who was asked to fur nish proof of 1 lis m.irrige, took off his hat and exhibited a scar on his head. "Here" said he, "is my marriage cer tificate. That's Judy's mark." A man who was shooting "for fun" In Colorado, recently shot an indivdu al who hi says, unfortunately popped his head round a corner and struct the bullet. When is a woman called an old maid?

Agricultural Depart ment contains a valuable essay, contri buted by J. M. Edmunds, late Com mis sioner of the Land Office. Great evils I will result to the country, it is predic- J ted, unless the axe of the woodman is j restrained. It is asserted that, except I in the mountain regions, nearly the j entire surface from the Atlantic to the j 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. Three-fourths of the original store of timber, it is believed, have already been consumed. The untimbered aur j face of the plains between the MLssis ; sippi and the Pacific amounts to four teen hundrod thousand square uiiles, and it is asserted that, by a little arti ficial effort, forests may be gradually extended over this large area. Expe riments thus far made have proved successful. Trees to the numl>er of millions hare 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 ouuee of thyme, one-quarter ounce of bay leaf, one-eight ounce of majoram, and one-eighth ouuee rosemary; put the bag into a moderately heated oven, till the herbs are dry ; then mix them iu a mortar with half an ounce of nutmegs, half au 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. One ounce of the spiced salt is sufficient to season three pounds of forcemeat. Some years since a wild-goose was shot in tYashiugton 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 Department at 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, A"s the weather grows warm er, look out for ticks, scab, and lice. 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 lambs do uot get chilled ; visit the pens frequently.— Chilled lambs, apparently 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 baiky horses is to take them from the carriage, and whirl them rapidly round till they aro 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. 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 I not, save them until just before calv j ing, and after that, to bo used until ! grass comes, or the rye for soiling is tit ! to cut. Bares 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 pation is to be always guarded against 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 scarecely a chance of re covery when once fully seated, and, as the disease is contagious, there is lit tle inducement to keep the animal. lied Ants.— Wash and wipe thorough ly your safes, cupboards,&c.; fchensprin 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 au noyanee. Coics. —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 best to give them the freedom of the box. 7b Restore Milk.— When milk has become turned by heat, it can be made sweet again and perfectly restored by mixing with it a small quantity of carbonate of magnesia. 7b soften hard icaler.— 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. I Good fences pay better than the law suits with neighbors.
