THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COINTY, PA. Miseelaneous. Chinese MmlianH. When the Chinese ports were first open td, the foreign trade, went Into English anil airtcan hand, but in a few yean the flcr una came In and took a large share of It. The could Ike and work cheaper than tbelr cosapttltors, and for a considerable while they flourished. Hut when the Chinese use to the front, all others suQerrd alike, m Us oew competitor could leat each and ry one of them in the ability to get along with small profits. A Chinese official said on day to a friend of mine, "Englishman tad Mel lean man come here makee big pig on; blmeby long come German man eatce p Englishman and Mellcftn man ; China an come now, be maken eat up German van ; sometime you makee see Chinaman eatee every ting." There is every reason to believe that his prediction will bo fulfilled in the main ; that tho "eatee up" U going on pretty rapidly a great many persons can testily. In Hong Kong the Chinese houses are Increasing annually, while the English ntid other foreign ones nre decreasing. Hows of tores formerly occupied by English mer chants have been given up to Chinese, and the number grews and grows with each re curring season. Nineteen-twentieths of the population of Hong-Kong are Chinese, ami there Is not a branch of business into which they have not entered. They have shipping and commercial houses, steam-ship, bank ing, and insurance companies, as I have al ready mentioned, and you can buy in their shops nearly every article of foreign manu facture that you can buy iu the English tores, and almost invariably at lower price. The complete free trade established at Hong-Kong has been good for the English manufacturer, but not so for the English merchant who established himself in the colony. So much for John on bis own soil. Let tt aee what he has been doing in carrying the war into the enemy's country. We are pretty well aware of what be bos done in California, and so I will not, take up that branch of the subject, In all the open ports of Japan the Chinese are thickjy established. Their competition is more. with Europeans than with the Japanese, and tbey have succeeded in making a very large in road into the profits of the foreigner, though less to than at Hong-Kong, Shanghai, or the other Chinese ports. Going west from Hong-Kong, we come to Cochin China, the French possession, of which Sal-goo is the capital. There the Chinese have been stea'd Idly cutting into the trade,- until they have by far the best of it, and have driven some. fersign bouses out of business. During 1876 the Chinese shipped nine tenths of the rice crop, amounting to nearly 6,000,000 plculs (133 pounds to the picul). All oth r articles of export were shipped by them, with a very few, exceptions, and. they, have, at least fire-sixths of tho import1 'tra'de. Much of the shipment is to Hong-Kong, aad a great portion of it is in Chinese ves ts!, while many of the English-ships -find it expedient to employ Chinese agenU.Tbe Hong-Kong agency of the .only, line of . . . Tl 1 Vjf ' w mere running iu uaug-Kyit, Diaui, is Chinese, and when I purchased my ticket by one of the company's ships, .1 was oblig ed to apply to the head of the .Yuen Vat Hong, and make my negotiations' with him. The captain told me that all the rice carried by him or his companion vessels was .on Chinese account, and I found on reaching Bang-kok a Chinese line of steamers run nieg to Singapore. Foreign business, at Bang-kok grows smaller each year, while Chinese business Increases. The Celestial has much of the local trade in Bang-tok I was told that the government licenses for ths tale of spirits were in the bauds of a Chinese, while another had the monopoly of gambling-houses. At Singapore there are more than 100,- 000 Chinese, one-fourth as many Malays, and about 1000 Europeans. The Chinese hare gained in numbers, while the Euro peans have lost, in spite of the steadily in creasing Importance of Singapore. While 1 was there a quarrel arose between the Chinese and foreign merchants or rather it was in progress when I arrived concern ing the delivery of pepper, gambier, and other articles of merchandise which the for mer sell to the latter. The disputed point was on a matter of delivery, the latter de manding and the former refusing to make delivery at the foreign go-downs (ware house). The foreigners united, and agreed not to buy until the point was yielded to them ; the Chinese united, and refused to ell except at their own go-downs. See the advantage of Chinese combination over a foreign one : when I left Singapore two of the foreign houses had broken from the com bination, and wero buying pepper and gam bier on the terms of the Chinese, while the latter were as firm as the rock of Gibraltar. I don't know who won the fight, but I think it is not hard to guess, especially as there had been similar troubles before, in which the Chinese came out head. Certainly tbey are a most indefatigable lot of merchants, and it is really a wonder how so many of the natives of the Flowery Kingdom man age to make a living on the little island of Singapore. There is not much to choose in that city between the Chinese and the Ma lay. Deal with one, and you will generally wish you had dealt with the other or neith er. Harper's Magazine for August. The Bible and its Foes. Henry Rogers, author of "The Eclipse ol Faith," in his work on "The Superhuman Origin of the Bible," says : "If collected from the earliest times to the . . ..J , i i it nraaeui uar, inuuei uuuw ruum uecupy iar i volume against which they are directed and would certainly be much more numer oa than all the works that all other 'sacred' books ever had the honor of provoking eith er for or against them.

For If the book be what these authors say, surely It should not be very difficult to show it to be so ; and If so what wonderful madness to write all these volume." How surprised would he the'n be to learn that tbey were felt not to be enough ; that similar worts were being mul tlplled every day,and never more active than at the present time ; and still to no purpose la disabusing mankind of this same phrenzy, lie would learn, Indeed, that so far from ac conipliibiog the object, the new volumes are little more than necessary to replace those ot this fruitful, yet fruitless literature which art continually sinking into oblivion. "Hut the volume llself survives both friends aud foes. Without being able lu speak one word lu its behalf, but what it lias already said J without any power of explanation or rejoinder, In deprecation of tho attacks made upon it, or to assist thoc who defend It J it passes along the nges in majestic si lenre. Impassive amidst nil this tumult of controversy, In which it takes no part, It might be likened to some great ship floating down a mighty river like tho Amazon or Or inoco, the shores of which are inhabited by savage tribes. From every llttlo creek or Inlet, from every petty port or bay, sally flot illas of canoes, somo seemingly friendly, and some seemingly hostile, filled with warriors in all the terror of war.palnt,and their artil lery of bows and arrows. They nro hostile tribes ; and soon turning their weapons against one another, nun! I each other with great .fury aud loss.

Poets have sung tho delights of the farm er's life in strains so enchanting that one might wonder why nil the world has not for saken every other pursuit and betaken It self to the tilling of the soil. Hut the farm er himself, iu the unshaded hay-held, ur plodding in the clayey furrow at tho plow, with a free-holder's right sticking to each boot, or bending, with aching back, between the corn-rows, or breasting the winter storm lu the performance of imperative duties,looks at his life from n different point of view. To him this life appears as full of toll and care and evil chances as that of any other toller. And true it is, the life of the ordina ry farmer is hard, with too little to toften it too much of work, too little of play. l!ut as true Is what the poet sang so long ago : 'Thrice happy are tho husbandmen If they coulil but seo their blessings ; for they have independence, more than any others who by tbejsweat of the brow earn their bread, and tho pure air of heaven to breathe, and the blessed privilege of daily commuuiou with nature. ,ix . It is not easy for tho .farmer to see any beauty in his enemies, the meadows full of daisies, with which he is forever fighting, or by whchj ,he has been igiiominiously con quered ; the encroaching ranks of golden rods along the borders of bis fields, and the bristling bayonets of those Canadian inva ders, the Ihistles. How few farmers, or oth er people for that matter, see in the climbing blusbes-.of the dawning day, or the gorgeous painifng of its close, or in the perfect day it self, anything but the foretelling of fair or foul weather ; or notice the ways of any un tamed birdor bsajt, except that the crows come to pull the coru.lhe hawks to catch the chickens, and foxe3 to steal the lambs aud turkeys .However, the IVmer generally does feel a thrill of pleasure when, in the hyipness of a February or March day, ue Hears luu caw ui me nrsi jurriuii.-eeKiiii; hungrysrow.

He sees that tho brave little chickadee remains faithful to his po-t, and feels that his cheery note enlivens a lit tle the dreariness of winter as does the ree dy piping of the nut-hatch and the voice of the dowry, fuller of life than of music, and the discordant note of the blue jay, who, clad in a bit ot summer sky, loudly proclaims his presence ; but the singers are gone and he misses them, August Seribner. Perils of the Telephone. The telephone may prove a dangerous matter for some folks. One of our leading merchants, whose home is not a thousand iles from Brooklyn, and who occasionally luxuriates in his leisure hours in mechani cal and philosophical experiments, put up the other day an excellent telephone at his residence, connecting the parlor with the rear of the house. On a certain evening, hile he was at work at ope end of the in strument, there were a couple of young bucks being entertained in the parlor by tho young ladies of the family, and one of them hose wish may have been father to the thought, spoke just for the fun ol the thing of course at the instrument. The quiet gentleman received at his end of the wire this complimentary message: "Old Mr. Watkins, isn't it moat time you went tn bed?" The young sauce box in the parlor near ly jumped from the floor nt the reply that came back : " Yet, Sir ; and guile time you went home, young man I" Harper's Maga zine or A uguit. Lime Kills l'otuto lSugs, correspondent writes to the Xew .'! land Farmer that lio finds nlr-shcked lime ppliotl to the potato tops will kill the larvm f the Colorado potato beetle. This Is ill mi the experience of a correspondent of the Mirror and J 'anner, who says: 'Two yrars ago the Colorado beetle attacked my potato crop. After trying various things without success, I stumbled on a cask of lime which had been air-slacked. I commenced to dust it on the tops, and wherever it fell on the slugs they turned back and soon dropped olf and died, I passed over the field threo times between hoeing and blossom time aud found it not only sure death to the larva? but a ma terial benefit to the crop. Last year I tried the same remedy in another part of the town with the same good reeult." e read of a man who placed 200 potato bugs in a bsttle aud fprinklcd lime over them. Within ono hour not oue was left alive. On the following day he sprinkled lime over his potato patch, and on the next morning found tens of thousand of bugs ly Ing dead. Tho experiment is worth try- ug. It Is an error to suppose that the 'Arabian horse la bred in arid deserts, nuil owes the power of endurance which he possesses in his adult state to tho hardships which he endures whllo ho was u colt, The real fact Is that the Arab selects for their breeding places some of those delightful spot, known only In countries like these, where though all may be dry and barren around, there Is pasture unrivalled for Its succulence and Its nutritious or aromatic properties.
