The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of eonneeting the great sea
ports of the Empire by submarine electrie tele
graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
miles at once, between the following port t, viz :
Population.
Canton 1,000,000
Macon 60,000
Hong-Kong 250.000
Swatow 200,000
Amoy 250,000
Foo-Chow 1,250.000
Wan-Chu 300.009
Ningpo 400.000
Hang Chean 1.200,000
Shanghai 1,000,000
Total 5.910.000
These ports bava a foreign commerce of $900,-
000,000. and an enormous domestic -rade, besides
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 communieation v which mast
command thera, as evarywhere else, the commu
nications of the Go/ernmont, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her ecly means now of commnuicating
information is by couriers on land, and by steam
"The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled; but
few yet realise that ihe contains more than a third
of the human raee. The latest returns msde to
her centra! authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make ber population Four hun
dred and Fourteen millions , and this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.
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 observed
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 tbem 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
pay the coat within the first two years of its suc
cessful operation, and would steadily inorease
thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importance
commercially, politically and evangelically.
LJ~Tha stock of this Company has been un
qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS,
AND
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC.
Prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia
Their introduction into this country from Ger
many occurred in
1825.
THEY CURED YOUR
FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from t-w- the many preparations
now in the country cal I—l led Bitters or Tonics.
They are no tavern-I—Lpreparation, or any
Ullug HKe one , Dui good, tiimcet, iclinlilc medi
cines. They are
The greatest known remedies for
Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA,
Nervous Debility,
JAUNDICE,
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, Choking or
Suff.ieating Sensa | 1 tions when in a Lying
Posture, Dimness of V-r Vision, Dots or Webs
before the sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Defi
ciency ot Perspiration. Yellowness of the 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 Germany. All the medi
cinal virtueus are ex s-v tracted from them by
a scientific Chemist. { I These extracts are
then forwarded to this V/ country to be used ex
pressly far the manutacture 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 cases where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with pure 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 public Its
taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while
its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBILITY
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonicin cases of Debility.
They impart a tone 1-4 and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen -A the appetite, cause an
enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di
fest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound,
ealthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge
from the eye. impart a bloom to the cheeks, 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
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 bload. 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 -1.-i 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.
Philadblphia, March 16, 1867.
I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters" is not
an intoxicating 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 Truly,
GEO. W. WOODWARD
FROM HON. JAMES TAOMPSON.
Judge of the Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania.
Philadklpbia, April 28, 1866.
I consider "Hooftand s German Bitters a valua
ble medicine in case . of attasks of Indiges
tion or Dyspepsia. I \ can certify this from
my experience of it ii. Yours, with respect,
P JAMES THOMPSON.
FROM REV. JOSEPH H. KENNARD, D. D.,
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Dr. Jacksos—Dear Sir I have been fre
quently requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines, but
regarding the piactice as out of my appropriate
sphere, I have in all cases Reclined; but with a
clear proof in various instances, and particularly
in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoof
lands 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 --r plaint, it is a safe
and valuable prepara tion. In some cases
it may fail; bnt usual A-N 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.

CHAPTER ON CATS.
On cats I don't go very heavy. Not
so much on account of their staying out
late nites, dispensing mournful lirrics,
as the habit they have of going intew
fits, and playing Mazeppa on the ceil
ing.
It's a very pecoolar trait of the cat,
them fits. They don't seem to mind
them much, and alluz recover. I give
my old Malty cat fits a while ago, but
she didn't recover. Not herself.
I recovered her.
I will let you into the facts of the
case. I hung her by the neck one day
and one half on an improved gallus,
and then covered her over with dirt.
But I hed only hung eight lives out
of her, and 1 found her next morning
at the kitchen door, waiting for her ra
tions. Istrateway took her remaining
life. She is now one of the things that
wert. The feel in quire have lost a
powerful tenor, and her voice is silent
perpetual.
When cats are first born they are sec
less. A great many go in swimmin
the first thing they do after being born,
in an old bag as a bathing-habit, with
a big rock tied to it—rocked in the cra
dle of the deep as it wer.
Cats are mentioned by poets, as will
be observed by the following eotation:
Hi diddle diddle,
The cst's in the fidfile, & so 4th.
5 Catsliveon mackril heads, cold pioces,
young birds, &so 4th. If hard up for
a lunch they catch a naous. They are
fond of laying under a warm stove*
Give a cat fourteen fish heads for din
ner, and then let her stretch herself un
der a hot stove, and you have a picture
of unalloyed bliss.
They are not ova very loving dispo
sition, and when In trouble are not ve
ry kind to each other. In proof of this
hang two of them bi their tails over a
klose line.
I guess I don't know anything more
about cats at present. That iz to say,
my essa iz over.
N. B.—Cats don't cost anything.
THE other day a man in Montgom
ery, Ala., in biting an oyster, found
his mouth full of pea: Is. Over for y
some larger than a pea, were within
the one shell.
THOSE people who have always
viewed with anxiety and alarm the
accession of military men to high ei.vil
offices may welt be startled as they
witness the proceedings of the military
regime which now has its headquar
ters in the White House. An am
bitious General is our President. The
Secretary of War is a General, and the
Secietary of the Nwy, in point of fact,
is Admiral Porter. The President's
Secretaries append to their signatures
the titles of Brigadier General or Col
onel. Almost the first act of the new
Administration was to make certain
changes in the "military districts,"
and our Washington advices show,
day after day, how completely military
affairs absorb its attention.
Regiments are being consolidated
and regulations about discipline and
uniforms iu the navy are being issued
thus early, as though these things
were of the first importance,. The
President has for years past had u
body-guard, and the citizens of the
Capital are as familiar as are those of
St. Petersburg with thejingleof spurs
and the clank of sabres. Does all this
signify nothing? Does the difference
between Washington as it is and
Wasington as it was ten years ago in
dicate only a change of fashion and
h.\bit, or does It mark the decline of
constitutional government and the
decadence of republican institutions?
When the Long Parliament set aside
the ancient Constitution of England,
who supposed that Cromwell would
soon bo her absolute lord and master?
When the National' Assembly over
turned the throne of Evince, who im
agined that creatures like Marat and
Robespierre would soon rule ever ber
and shed the blood of her best snci
noblest like water? Greece had her
despots in her time, and Rome when
mistress of the world was the slave of
tyrants. Why should we expect im
munity from the fate of all the free
nations that have preceded us in the
past three thousand years? Why
should there not be ten "military dis
tricts" lieie as w-01l as five? Public
virtues and sleepless vigilance are all
that can save this nation from losing
all that is left of the Government be
queathed us by our ancestors, and that
virtue and vigilance as yet are lying
dormant. — Bait. Gazette.
AX OTTRAGEOCS IXSII.T TO OI K COL
ORED SOLDIERS,
From the Boston Courier.
We are informed by the daily press
that "the Indians of the plains will
not take scalps from the h<wl= ofnoir-o
soldiers kiiieu in battle."
Is not this a flagrant violation of the
spirit of the civil i ights bill, of the new
amendments to the Constitution, and
of the reconstruction policy of Con
gress?
This is the crowning insult to our col
ored citizens.
Shall the red skins be allowed thus
to make distinctions on account of
race or color ?
When the colored troops fight brave- >
ly, may those untaxed Indians scorn |
their scalps, as being no trophy worth |
the taking off?
This contemptuous treatment of the !
black man by the red man is not to be
borne.
Senator Sumner must attend to this.
He must prepare resolutions,
lie must fulminate speeches a
gainst the noble red man of the forest,
who, when on the war path, dares to
show a savage disrespect to wool!
He has abolished the word "white"
in the District of Columbia, let him
abolish the word "black" on the plains.
Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaxed red-skin says—
"Ugh, big Indian no scalp nigger!"
somebody shall shoot him on the spot.
It is not because of the difficulty ol
taking off the colored man's scalp.
No such thiug.
Indians scalp very short haired
white soldiers.
It is their contempt for the negro as
an inferior race.
They must be taught better.
Here is missionary work to do.
And a new stipulation should be
made in all Indian treaties, that no
distinction of race or color shall be
made with the scalping 1 nife.
The insult is too cutting.
A celebrated author once wrote: "A
French woman will love her husband
if he is either witty or chivalrous, a
German woman if he is constant and
faithful, a Dutch woman if he does not
disturb her ease and comfort too much;
a Spanish woman if he wreaks terrible
vengeance on those who fall under
her displeasure ; an Italian woman if
he is dreamy and poetical, a Danish
woman if he thinks her native country
the fairest and happiest on earth, a
Russian woman if he holds all west
erners to be miserable barbarians; an
English woman if he is of the nobility,
an American woman if—he has plenty
of money.
IN order to amuse the children on a
Sabbath, a lady was engaged in read
ing from the Bible the story of David
and Golilah, and coming to that pas
sage in which Golilah boastingly and
defiantly dared the young stripling, a
little chap, almost in his first trousers,
said : "Sister skip that, skip that; he's
blowing! I want to know who licked !"
AN exchange paper has the follow
ing : "It is said that there are more
editors unmarrried than any other class
of professional men." For the reason,
we suppose that the majority of them
are men of fine sentiment, and do not
wish to starve anybody's sister.
Composts made now will heat and be
in good order for the corn crop. Muck
got out in the winter will be in good
! condition to be thus used, mixed with

An excellent Fertilizer* —The Journal
of Chemistry says that one of the very
host fertilizers used upon the farm for
all the cereal grains and root crops,
may be made in the following manner :
Take one barrel of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix it with a barrel of wood
ashes; during the mixing add about
three pails full of water. The heap
may be made upon the floor of an out
building, or upon the barn floor; and
by the use of a hoe the bone and ashes
must be thoroughly blended together.
The water added is just sufficient to
liberate the caustic alkalies, potash and
soda ; and those act upon the gelatine
of the bone, dissolving the little atoms
forming a kind of soap, and fitting it
for plant aliment. In this way the
most valuable constituents of the lione
can be made immediately available,
and the addition of potash and soda
aids in the formation of a fertilizer of
inestimable value. A gill of this mix
ture placed in a bill of corn, will work
wonders. It is also excellent for gar
den vegetables and for all kind of roots.
It will be ready for use in a week after
it is made.
Stray Grains for Chickens.— Feed
your poultry on raw onions chopped
fine, mixed with other food about twice
a week. It is better than a dozen cures
for chicken cholera. Fowls exposed to
dampness are apt to be troubled with
catarrh, which will run to croup, if not
attended to. lied pepper mixed with
soft feed, fed several times a week will
remove the cold. Pulverized charcoal,
given occasionally, is a preventive of
putrid affections, to which fowls aro
very subject. Setting bens can be cured
by putting water in a vessel to the
depth of one inch, putting the hen into
it, and covering the top of the vessel
for about twenty-four hours. The ves
sel should be deep enough to allow the
fowl to stand up. This is the best
remedy I have ever tried. Pulverized
chalk administered with soft feed will
cure diarri'cea. This disorder is caused
by want of vaT?ety in the food, or by
too much green foou. Garlic fed once
or twicea week, is excellent iCTcolds. —
English Paper.
Experiment in Feeding Cows. —ln the
of the Chin TTnnmor ru>.
curs the following: "I have had twen
ty-five cows to milk, and found timo
thy and wild grass the boot. To feed
in winter, use shorts, ground oats,
shorts and corn meal; oats ground do
better than either; but corn meal with
shorts makes richer milk, but no more
of it. 1 have fed potatoes largely ; they
,i. toiorabij well,but milk a day or
two old gets strong. .liuta-baga turn -
ips and earots would not do for me to
make butter from themllk; butofall the
roots I ever tried, sugar beet is the
best. 1 heard pumpkins were good to
make milk and tried them. I had
twelve milkers; I divided them;
fed six with pumpkins three
weeks, and all run on grass alike.
Those that had pumpkins gave not
a gill more milk than the others, but
I believe it was a little richer."
A Thousand Dollar Receipt. —Take
one pound of sal-soda and a half a
pound of unslacked slime, put them in
a gallon of water, and boil twenty min
utes ; let it stand till cool, then drain
off and put iu a stone jug or jar. Soak
your dirty clothes over night or till
they are well wet through, thon wring
them out and put on plenty of soap ,
and to a boiler of clothes well covered
with water add one tablespoonful of
washing fluid. Boil half an hour brisk
ly, then wash them thoroughly through
one suds and rinse well in water, and
your clothes will look better than the
old way of washing twice before boil
ing. This is an invaluable remedy,
and we want every poor, tired woman
to try it.
Soil for the Grape.— lt is a curious
fact that very rich and highly manured
land has rarely produced a grape that
would yield a high quality of wine.
The grape that contains the most sac
charine matter will make the best
wine, and the ilitferent varieties differ
widely in the proportion of sugar. In
Italy and in Sicily the very finest and
sweetest grapes grow on loose, rocky
soils, or along hill sides covered with
rocks are often the best. These facts
ought to teach us uot to select the rich
est soils, and not to stuff them with
organic manures, for the grape.
Horses are often injured by their ex
ertions to draw heavy wagons out of
of tniry spots in the road. Spavins are
frequently caused in this way. After
such exersion, the horses' legs ought
to be hand rubbed for an hour a day,
for several days. This is a gentle fric
tion of the hand up and down the iegs.
Coarse horses seldom require it, but
high-bred ones are benefitted by the
operation.
To relieve from the terrible effects of
running a nail in the foot of a man or
horse, take peach leaves and apply
them to the wound, confined with a
bandage, and the cure is as if by mag
ic. A renewel of the application gen
erally does the work. This remedy
has cured both man and horse in a few
hours, when they were apparently on
the point of having lockjaw.
A clergyman in Vermont, being ap
prehensive that the accumulated
weight of the enow upon the roof of
; his barn might do some damage, rc-
I solved to shovel it off. He therefore
ascended the roof, having first taken
the precaution to fasten his waist to
| one end of a rope, the other end of
| which he gave to his wife. But fear
| ing still for his safety, he said: "My
dear, tie the end round your waist."
No sooner had she done this, than off
went the snow, minister and all, and
up went the wife. Thus, on one side
of the barn the astounded clergyman
| hung, while on the other side hung
his wife, high and dry, dangling at
; the end of the rope. At that moment
a gentleman luckily passed by, and
delivered them from their perilous sit*
i uatiou.
