The Chinese Government having (through the
lion 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. ■ 00.000
Hong-Kong 250,000
Swatow 200,000
Ainoy 250.000
Foo-Chow 1,250,000
Wan-Chu..... 300.000
Ningpo 400,000
Hang 1,200.000
Shanghai • ..1,000.000
Total 5 910.900
These ports have a foreign commerce oi $900,-
01)0.000, and an enormous domestic trade, 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 communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else the commu
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no jxzstal
system, and her only means nowofeommuuicating
information is by couriers on land, and by steam
ers on water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled ; but
few yet realize that she contains more than a third
of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four hun
dred and Fourteen millions, antl this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.
Nearly all 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 groat 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 ail 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
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importance
commercially, politically and evangelically.

qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS,
AND

1825.
THEY CI'KKD YOIIR
FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from -w -w the many preparations
now in the country cal I—l led Bitters or Tonics.
They are no tavern A Apreparatien, or any
thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi
cines They are
The greatest In own 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,
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

Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the
Head. Hurried or Difficult Breathing,
Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or

Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh, Constant Imagi
nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.
AH these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di
gestive Organs, combined tenth impure hlood.
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 virtneus are ex tracted from them by
a scientific Chemist, fl I These extracts are
then forwarded to this Y/ 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 can be used in cases where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S UERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters. with PCIIE Santa Cruz Rum. Orange, etc. It
is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You -zrill bear in mind that those 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 he known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBILITY
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic -w in cases of Debility.
They impart a tone |q and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen A the appetite, canse 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
from the eye, impart a bloom to the eheeks, 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 art the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from bad blosd. Keep yur blood pure; keep
your Liver in order, keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I healthy condition, by
the use of these reme M. J 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.
PHTLAOKLPBIA, March 16, 1867.
I find that ''Hoofland's German Bitters" is not
an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use
tul in disorders of the digestive organs, and of
great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner
yous action in the system.

BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1869.
THE GRAND WIND-CP IN RONTON.
Boston is about to give out the
hymn; let the rest of mankind handle
their psalm-books. Boston is about to
raise the tune; let "frogpond" clap its
hands, and Bunker hill be joyful alto
gether. Boston is aliout to lead in
prayer; let the gentiles draw near,
pull off their hats, and listen to the
most eloquent petition that was ever
addressed to a human audience. Bos
ton has proclaimed a great National
Peace Jubilee, "to be held in the city
of Boston, June 15th, 16th and 17th of
the present Anno Domini , to com
memorate the restoration of peace
throughout the land. Boston is ar
ranging a grand orchestra of one thous
and musicians, the first to f-lng nation
al airs and hymns of peaiv, and the
last to swell the aforesaid national airs
and hymns to cosmieal dimensions.
Boston iserectingan immense coliseum,
capable of accommodating over fifty
thousand persons, for the occasion, to
be magnificently decorated with em
blems expressive of Boston notions,
sentiments, ideas and emotions. Bos
ton invites the rest of mankind to at
tend and participate in its enjoyments,
at the ruinously low figures of one
hundred dollars the season ticket, ad
mitting three persons, or thirty three
dollars, thirty-three ceuts and a vulgar
fraction for each individual. Boston
is about to do the thing in style ; but
like the thrifty consort of the renown
ed Gilpin, while she is bent on pleas
ure, she retains her frugal disposition,
and intends to realize a profit on her
anthems and thanksgivings.
Boston rejoiced greatly over the war.
She led the timbrels, and headed the
dance which circled around the caldron
when the poisonous mixture which
made men bloodthirsty was preparing.
Of all the noxious ingredients that en
tered into thecompoundi hers was the
most deadly. Although she did not
manifest superior alacrity in sending
her sons to the conflict, she sang the
war song, danced the war dance, and
screamed the war whoop witli a vigor
and persistency that left nothing to he
desired. Her clergy breathed forth
threatenlngs and slaughter frqm the
pulpit. Her learned pundits peram
bulated the land, blowing the war
trumpet from the platforms of lecture
halls; making merchandize of their
belligerent sentinels, at the price of
fifty cents for the admission. Her
senators and representatives took the
lead in every measure which served
to make war inevitable, and to foster
and intensify the evil passions and
cruel hatreds which war is calculated
to awaken.
Boston has attained her ends, and
Boston is satisfied. Site did nothing
to promote the return of peace; she is
doing what lies in her power to make
the people only formal. The country
is only formally at peace, not actually.
It is the peace of exhaustion, not of
consent, the badges of which are the
privations of right, political constraint
ami military despotism. But it is a
peace that is after the heart of Boston,
and therefore Boston proposes to cele
brate it with songs and thanksgiv
ings; with the "greatest feast of su
blime and inspiring harmony that has
ever been heard in any part of the
world." As Boston was inspired
with an ardent love of the beauties of
war, so uow Boston is inspired with
an ardent love of the beauties of peace.
She discovers that all mankind are
brethren. She wonders how they
could have done otherwise than love
each other. She is willing to embrace
the survivors of those whom she sent
forth her bauds to destroy, to admit
to share in her rejoicings—provided
they pay the regular fees for admission
—those whom she labored to impover
ish ; and to show the whole world how
little malice she had against those
whose destruction she sought to ac
complish. Magnanimous Boston, who
takes the lead in celebrating the close
of the temple of Janus when it was no
longer in their power to keep it open,
and who, finding war times no longer
marketable, sets her organ to a peace
melody, grinds qway with the air of
a composer, and passes around the hat
with the confidence of a benefactor.
There is no objection to the musicians
of Boston assembling together and
making qjl the harmonious uproar of
which they and all the machinery
they are able to press into the service
are capable. There is no objection to
putting as high a price as they please
upon their performances, and making
out of them all the profit of which the
thing is susceptible. But a celebra
tion such as is contemplated, upon the
predicate adopted—a grand national
festival on the restoration of peace
throughout the Iqnd—and that, of all
places in the world, in Boston, is, be
yond measure, impudent and insolent.
—St. T/juis Republican.
FEMALE SOCIETY.— What makes
those men who associate habitually
with women superior to others? What
makes that woman who is accustomed
to and at ease in the society of men,
superior to her sex in general? Sole
ly because they are in the habit of free
graceful, continued conversations with
the other sex. Women in this way
lose their frivolity, their faculties a,
waken; their del ieacies and peculiari
ties unfold all their beauty and capti
vation in thespirit of intellectual rival
ry. .\nd the men lose their pedantic,
rude, declamatory or sullen manner.
The coin of the understanding and the
heart is changed continually. The as
perities are rubbed off, their betterjma
teriaD poliKhod and brightened, and
their richness, like fine gold, is
w rough tin to finer work mansh ip by the
lingers of woman than eyeroould by
those of men. The iron and stool of
their character are hidden, iiko the
harness and armour of the giant, by
studs and knots of gold and precious
stones, when they are not wanted in
actual warfare.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.— One
hundred and ten years ago, there was
not a single white man in Ohio, Ken
tucky, Indiana or Illinois. Then what
is now the most flourishing part of A
merica was as little known as the coun
try arouud the mountains of the moon.
It was not until 1767 that Boone left
his home in North Carolina to become
the first settler of Kentucky. The first
pioneers of Ohio did not settle until
tweuty years after this time. A hun
dred years ago Canada belonged to
France, and the whole population did
not exceed a million and a half of peo
ple. A hundred years ago, the great
Frederick of Prussia was performing
those great exploits which have made
him immortal in military annals, and
with his little monarchy was sustain
ing a single handed contest with Rus
sia, Austria aud France, the three
great powers of Europe combined. A
hundred years ago, Napoleon was not
bom, and Washington was a modest
Virginia colonel, and the great events
in the history of the two worlds, in
which these great but dissimilar men
took leading parts, were then scarcely
foreshadowed. A hundred years ago,
the United States wero the most loyal
part of the British empire, and on the
political horizon no speck indicated the
struggle which within a score of years
thereafter established the great repub
lic of the world. A hundred years a
go, there were but four newspapers in
America. Steam engines had not been
imagined, and railroads and telegraphs
had not entered into the remotest con
ception of man. When we come to
look back at it through the vista of
history, we find that to the century
passed lias been allotted more import
ant events, in their bearing upon the
hapiness of the world, than almost any
other which has elapsed since the cre
ation .
THE gontleman at church is known
by the following marks :
1. Comes in good season, so asneitti
er to interrupt the pastor nor congre
gation by a late arrival.
2. Does not stop upon the steps or iu
the portico, either to gape at lhe la
dies, salute friends or display his col
loquial powers.
3. Opens and shuts the door gently
and walks deliberately aud lightly up
the aisle or gallery stairs, and gets his
Beat as quietly, and making as few
people remove as posible.
4. Takes his place either in the hack
part of the seat, or steps out into the
aisle when any one wishes to pass in,
and never thinks of such a thing as
making people crowd past him while
keeping his place in his seat.
5. Is always attentive to strangers,
and gives up his seat to such ; seeking
another for himself.
6. Never thinks of filling a house of
God with tobacco spittle, or annoying
those who sit near him by chewing that
nauseous weed in Church.
7. Never, unless in case of illness,
gets up or goes out during time of ser
vice.—But if necessity compel him to do
so, goes so quietly that his very man
ner is an apology for the act.
8. Does not engage in conversation
before the service.
9. Does not whisper, nor laugh, or
eat fruit in the house of God, or lounge
in that holy place.
11. Does not rush out of the church
like a tramping horse the moment the
benediction is pronounced, but retires
slowly in a noiseless, quiet manner.
Ig. Does all he can by precept and
example, to promote decorum iu oth
ers ; and is ever remly to lend bis aid
to discountenance all intjecornm in the
house of God,
AN AWFUL SNOT v.—"There was
once an awful little girl who had an
awful way of saying 'awful' to every
thing. She lived in an awful house,
in an awful street, in an awful village,
which was in an awful place. She
went to an awful school, where she had
an awful teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out oi awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that she
ate an awful amount of food, so that
she looked awful healthy. Her hat
was so awful small and her feet so aw
ful large. She went to an awful church,
and her minister was an awful preach
er. When she took an awful walk she
climbed awful hills, and when she got
awful tired she sat down under an aw
ful tree to rest herself. In summer she
found the weather awful hot, and in
winter awful cold. When it didu't
rain, there was an awful drought, and
when the awful drought was over,
there was an awful rain. So that this
awful girl was all the timeiq an awful
state, and if she don't get over saying
lawful 1 about everything I am afraid
she will, by and by, come to an awful
end."
I OWE my success in life toonesingle
fact: That at the age of twenty-seven I
commenced and continued four years
the process of daily reading and speak
ing upon some historical and scientific
book. These off hand efforts where
made sometimes in a corn field, some
times in a forest, and not unfrequent
ly in some distant barn, with the horse
and ox for my auditors. It is to this
early practice, in the art of a'l arts, that
I am indebted for the primary and lend
ing impulses that stimulated me for
ward, shaped and modelled my desti
ny. Improve, then, young gentleman,
the superior advantages you here en
joy. Let not a day pass without exer
cising your powers of speech. Ctesar
controlled men by captivating their af
fections and swaying their passions.
The Influence of the one perished with
the other. That of the other contin
ues to this day .—Henry Clap,
Narrow-minded men who have not a

Livrxo IN PEACE.— Mr. Simeon of
Cambridge, having met with injurious
treatment made the following memo
randum : Perliajis 1 ought to take
some notice of it; but my rule is. nev
er to hear, or see, or know, what, if
heard, or seen, or know, would call
for animadversion from me. Hence
it is that I dwell in peace in the midst
of lions. To all the accusations that
were brought against Mm, our laird
made no reply ; "Insomuch that the
governor marvelled greatly." I de
light in that record; and, God help
ing me, it is the labor of my life so to
act, that on my account also the gov
ernor or spectator may marvel greatly.
My experience all this day has been,
and I hope it wili'yet continue to be
a confirmation of that word, "Thou
wilt hide me in the secret of thy pre
sence from the strife of tongues." In
sult an angel before the throne, and
what would he care about it? Just
such will be my feelings, whilst I am
hid in the secret of my Redeemer's
presence.
THE LAST SPIKE. —So much anxie
ty lias been manifested as to whether
the "golden spike" was permitted to
remain where it was driven in the last
Pacific railroad tie, subject to any law
less depredator who might be aliout,
that we print the following to give
relief:
"That silver bound tie and golden
spike! Oh, the prase of it, the plain
prose! The poetry of the operation,
the lie and the spike have ail vanish
ed. Ceremony is one thing and busi
ness another. After the silver bound
tie was laid and the golden spike driv
en in the Pacific railroad—after they
•had got done praying,' and before
east and west had fixed to their satis
faction what these emblematic articles
represented, the tie and the spikes
(there were two of them) were quietly
taken up and deposited with Nevada's
silver hammer in a car and sent to
San Francisco, while a common wood
en tie was substituted, and the last rail
secured hi it by a common iron spike."
Western Correspondence.
THE Baltimore Gazette advocates
the establishment of gold banks, now
that gold contracts are made legal by
acts of Congress. The Gazette says:
By the establishment of a gold bank
and the facilitating of the exchange of
gold checks, we would create an addi
tional gold currency which would be
of great use in business. In ease of sud
den panics, by payment of a small dis
count for thirty or sixty days, mer
chants. who were suddenly called on
for coin, could raise the gold and save
probably five or six per cent or e
veu more. A large amount of gold
which is now in small sums would be
massed together and made available,
and by the use of checks there would
be an interchange of what would lie in
reality coin notes, ten times as large
as the actual amount of gold in bank.
* * It would facilitate and extend
dealings in gold, and pave the way to
resumption of specie payments. Is
not a gold bank a thing worth think
ing of?
DULL times, these. Business men
are complaining bitterly, and many of
them see little hope in the immediate
future. The only thing to be done un
der the circumstances is for business
men to keep up their spirits, and at
the same time keep themselves promi
nently before the public. To do this,
they should select the best advertising
medium through which to announce
their places of business and what they
have to dispose. Amongst the best, if
not the very best, is the BEDFORD
GAZETTE, which goes everywhere,
and is read by thousands who read no
other paper.
Adversity exasperates fools, dejects
cowards, draws out the faculties of the
wise and ingenious, puts the modest to
the necessity of trying their skill, awrs
the opulent, and makes the idle indu>-
trious. Much may be said in favor of
adversity; but the worst of it is, It his
no friends.

Feeding Young (Jhickem. —Consider-
; ing the rojigh fi>od employed in
i ing young chickens and turkeys, it
seems amazing that peqpic succeed
half so well as they do. Young chick
ens and tender turkeys require soft
and rich food for the first two weeks,
just as a netfl;>orn infant needs milfe!
It would tie just as consistent to gorge
the delicate stomach of an infant with
popped corn and candy as to attempt
to rear young chickens and turkeys on
coarse and raw meal and small ker
nals of grain. And yet such feed is
often employed for that purpose where
large numbers of fowls are pro
duced. But the losses of young
chickens would be much less were
soft food employed until the young
birds have acquired sufficient strength
to digest coarse and hard food. In
many instances more than half thQ
turkeys that are hatched are so se
riously injured by improper food that
they die before they are one week
old. Indeed, many people will not at-?
tempt to rear turkeys, simply becaufe
the young birds will die, in spite of all
their efforts to raise them. The first
food that young birds of any kind
should receive is boiled eggs. After
an egg is boiled, cut the shell in two e
qual parts and place them where the
young chickens can have access to the
soft and rich food. After they have
eaten the egg, a mush made of equaj
parts of Indian meal and wheat dour
should constitute their chief food. If
milk can be obtained, let it be made in
to curd. Great care should be taken,
in the preparation of chicken feed, to
exclude everything that contains salt,
only a small quantity will surely kill
young chickens and turkeys.—

Ihird Work and Hard Driving.—Hor
ses were designed as beasts of burden,
to relieve mankind of fatiguing drud
gery. It does not hurt them to work
hard, if they are treated kindly. It is
n)t the hard drawing and ponderous
brads that wear out horses an i make
them poor, baulky, worthless, it is
the hard driving, the worry by
rough inhuman, drivers, that uses up
more horse flesh, fat, and muscle thap
all the labor the team performs.
Consider the ponderous loads that
teams are required to cart every day,
they appear to grow fatter and stron
ger every year. They are treated kind
ly. On the other hand, other horses
that do not perform half the labor soon
grow poor and give out, and the next
thing we hear of them is, they die
with the harness on. Hard work does
not kill them ; but the worrying, get
ting and abuse did the job.
Horses will do all the mowing and
reaping on a large form, thrash the
grain, pitch the hay, turn the grind
stone, saw the wood, and perform al
most all the heavy labor that farmers
have been accustomed to do, and grow
fat, if they are not worried aqd jerked
and kicked about as if they were a liv
ing football.
Keeping Jlams in Warm Weather. —
Make bags of unbleached co,tton cloth
put the hams in, and then put a lay* u
of fine soft hay all around them, so : s
to make a stratum of between the
cloth ad the hams. If merely bagged
the flies will thrust their ovipositors
through the cloth and sting the meat;
but the interposed hay keeps them off."
It is a common practice to whitewash
the bags, but this is not so neat,
and the bags cannot be well used again.
Another mode is to bury them in oats
or some other grain but they, are more
apt to become injured from want of ven
tilation. Charcoal dust keeps the
hams well, hut it is black and disagree
able, and hard to get off. Whichever
mode is adopted, It is of vital impoi
tance that the work is done early iq
the spring, before the flies are stirring.
Country Gentleman.
A farmer correspondent, speaking of
the difficulty of swine driving, says it is
"as whistling, after you know how,"
to wit: to the end of a stout cord, tie
an ear of corn ; drop it in front of the
pig within five or six inches from his
nose, and commence draging it slowly
away, in the direction you wish him
to propel. If his pigship shows evi
dence of hi i ted hopes, or arberration of
mind, from the singular conduct of the
corn, seduce him ' *' ie belief that it
is "all right," by letting him have a
brief nibble at it,and then resuming tl e
line of march. In this (says our infor
mant) the most obdurate pig may be
decoyed any reasonable distance. He
s tys he has deduced this from the fact
that "men require motives for action
—and why not pigs?"
Gaps in Ciik'bena.— When you find

The first milk of a cow after calving
