The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. 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. It is of vast national importance :
commercially, politically and evangelically. * j
stock of this Company has been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
artieles in the New York Herald, Tribune,

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

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.

THE following is from the New
York Methodist . We have no dispo
sition to make any comment, says the
Baltimore Episcopal Methodist, and
lay it before our readers as we find it,
I asking them only to remember that it
j is an extract from a published sermon !
by the leader of New England Met ho- !
disrn, and that Mr. Haven confidently !
claims Dr. Eddy as a co-iaborator and I
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 sign and seal of the in
visible grace. The first part of the ex- i
tract will b© read with disgust; tlie ,
last paragraph with horror:
THE REV. GILBERT HAVEN'S SERMON, j
We promised in our last to give a
fuller specimen from the sermon of
tiie editor of Eton's Herald that was
contained in our first extract. We do
this injustice to Mr. Haven, inasmuch j
as we characterized the entire passage
as "wild aud foolish talk
"We shall be attracted to this hue
i because it Is tine of God's creatures,
; and a beautiful one too ; because, chief
ly, we have most wickedly loathed
and scorned it. He will have his re
venge, and will yet compel us to dis
cern the loveliness of this most abhor
red virtue, and to become enamored of
it. The song of songs may have a
more literal fulfilment than it has ■
ever confessedly had in America; and |
the illegal but divinely implanted ad
miration of Southern Solomons for ,
black but comely maidens be proudly |
acknowledged and honorably gratified i
in the life of Northern and Southern j
gentlemen.
"But this law rests on no mere quip i
of the fancy, nor is it a rebound of a
vehement passion, as wrongfully right
as it had been wrongfully wrong. It
is the grand under tone of all marriage, j
It is the Creators mode of compelling
the race to overleap the narrow
boundaries of families and tribes, into
white blood, so called, invariably de- I
generates.
•Not like with like, be like with difference,
is the law of marriage. The light eom
plexioned turn to the dark, and the
dark to the light, as day to night and
night to day. The tail seek the short
and the short the tall; the same the
large and the large the small. Oppos
ite temperaments also thus incline to
each other. Bishop Morris says that j
lie can select husbands and their wives I
in a large company by this law of like ,
and difference. * * * * * j

Let their youths follow their instincts,

riers of eternity will become magnets
of eternity. Thus, too, will our divi
diugs cease. The lightest and darkest
of the children of Adam and Noah are
divinely planted together iu this land !

which God has planted, work out the'
perfect oneness of the race of man.
"Already, too, our romancers and 1
poets, tiie imaginative foreflyers of the !
slower-footed fact, are putting this !
strange future into their fascinating |
tales, and all the greedy crowd of nov- 1
el-readers are finding their richest
morsels flavored with this celestial j
truth. The stage makes an octoroon a j
heroine, and wins thousands to the ad- ,
miration of a color on tiie boards which !
they still falsely profess to detest in tiie j
parlor. Mrs. Child, in her 'Romance j
of the Republic,' gives a vivid portrai- !
ture of the wrongs and rigiits of this '
married life and love, in conflict with j
the curse of caste. Anna Dickinson !
waxes yet bolder, and, in her 'What
Answer?' shows how inevitable, how \
beautiful is this true affection, despite, i
nay, including this difference of color.
And the hour is not far off when the
white-hued husband shall boast of tiie

j tion of her lighter tint. Desdciuona

That iiour is not coming—it already is.
Not a few of these marriages which
God has made, and whose validity
man, in a few instances, has reluctant
ly acknowledged, are already filling
homes with happiness, and both pro
phesying and leading the way to the
future unity and blessedness of A
merica. Amalgamation is God's word,
declaring the oneness of man, and or
daining its universal recognition.—
Who art thou that tightest against
God ?"
The passage in which reference is
made to the "complexion of our Lord,"
is the following: "But equality at the
polls is not the only work laid upon
the coming government. There must
be such a disposition of its patronage,
such a steadfast expression of its con
viction, such an employment of its in
fluence, as will tend to the abolition
of the 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
! the very complexion of the mother of
iof our Lord—nay, of the Lord himself,

NO BEAUX ANYWHERE.
No beaux! Absolutely no beaux!
Well young ladies, stop and consider,
if, after all, you yourself have not pro-
J nounced the sentence of banishment.
"We? We banish them? Good
i gracious! Is it not for them we havede
: vised all this elaboration of adorn-
merit? We, indeed! Were we not
for weeks, before we came to these
j odious mountains, where men are as
i scarce as French hair dressers, closeted
! with our dressrnarkers and milliners
to produce these bewitching 'suits,'
long and short, for morning and eve
ning, out-door and in-door wear?—
Have we not cool dresses and warm
dresses j dresses for rain, dresses for
sunshine, dresses for neutral weather,
with gloves, sashes, parasols,
hats and fans to 'match,' to the mi
uuest shade? For whom should we
take all that trouble but for the beaux ? !
And how are we responsible for their !
disgusting abseuce ?"
Listen, my dears, for in that which j
you have just said lies your offence.
Can damsels thus arrayed walk in the
woods, climb the iuountaius (except in
poetry?) Can they take even an or
dinary, mild walk, without mortal
terror of periling their millinery?—
Must they not, therefore, "ride," inor
ning, afternoon and evening, every
where, to the delectation of the stable
keepers, and the consequent j>ecuniary
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 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.

The culture of Trees.-The reef nt re
port of 'he IT. S. 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

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

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.
