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, tho communications of tho Government, of busi ness, and of social life, especially In China. (She has no postal system, ami her only means now of communicating information la by couriers on land, and by steamers on wator. Tho Western World knows that China la a very largo country, in the mam densly peopled; but few yet realize that she contains more than a third of tho human raco.

Nearly all of these, who are over ten Sears old, not only can but do read and write.— or civilization Is peculiar, but her literature is as extensive as that of Europe. China Is a laud of teachers and traders; and tho latter are ex ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facility for procuring early informa tion. It is observed In California that tho Chi nese moke great use of tho telegraph, though It there transmits messages in English alone. To day great numbers of lleet steamers are owned by Chinese morcuauts, and used by them exclusive ly for the transmission of early Intelligence. If tne telegraph wo propose, connecting all their seaports were now in existence.

A dressing ■which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick* encd, falling hair checked, and bald* ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can bo saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clcau and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dyo, it does not soil white, cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Wo taavo thousands upon thou* sands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures aro known in every neighborhood, and wo need not publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates j containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may übHitken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them over IVeah and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their uso in any quantity. They operate by their powerlbl Influence on the internal viscera to purify the bipod and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange ments as are the first origin ofdiscasc. Minute directions are given In the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which those I*lll9 rapidly cure For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, listless ness, JLangnor and Xosw of Appetite, they should bo taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Xlvcr Complaint and its various symp toms, Bilious Headache. Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Billons fevers, they should bo Ju diciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which causo it. For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but ono mild dose Is generally required. For Illuinmattani, Oont, Grarel, Palpi* tatlon of the Heart, Pain in the Slue, Back and Xioltu, they should bo continuously taken, as required, to chance the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Propay and Propitcal Swellings they should he taken in largo and frequent doses to pro* duco the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression a largo dose should be taken as it produces tho desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro* raoto digestion and relievo tho stomach. An occasional doso stimulates tho stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores tho appetite, and Invigorates tho system. Hence It is often ad vantsgeous-whoro no serious derangement exists. Ono woo fcols tolerably well, often finds that a doso of those .Pills makes hun feel decidedly bettor, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the dices* live apparatus.

All over the leugth and breadth of this broad land we see and hear of changes— changes from bad to good, from Radical ism to Democracy. Everywhere the tax-payers, the people are leaving the rauk&-6f the destructive party, are withdrawing from under the black flag of the Jacobin pirates, and marshaling themselves under tho protec ting folds of the Democratic standard. Everywhere you go, and the more you travel the more you see, you will*becomH convinced of this most important fact*— The people do not talk so much Radical ism as they did; they do not talk so much about “ rebel” and “ traitor,” and use such shallow arguments in an effort to controvert the straightforward charges made by the Democracy, of corruption, fraud and villainy in the Radical admin istration of affairs. The people have become disgusted with these weak, senseless tirades, and have left them solely to tho lenders of Jacobin ism— tho petty editors and orators of the party. Taxes— Bonds— Tariffs— Negro Bureau — Standing armies — Radical Thieves — Radical injustice and dishonesty gener ally ! These are the questions that now en gage the attention of tho people of the United States, and from East to West, from North to South, throughout the length and breadth of this land, upon tho hill-tops and deep into the valleys, go everywhere, and you will find that the tax-payers unanimously Demand a change / Heretofore it has been their custom to attemUclosely to the business of the shop or farm, resting securely and prosperous ly under the good and economical ad ministration of the Democracy. With the advent of Radicalism they suspected nothing wrong, but they now see much that is not right. They have opene.- their eyes to much within the past year or two, and they have discovered Radi calism in all Us corruption and rascality. They have discovered that while they were busy in the field with the plow, Radical officials were engaged In stealing the money they had paid into the trea-u-- ry in the shape of taxes and tarlffe. They discovered that while they were working from twelve to eighteen hours each day in order to meet the demandant the relentless tax-gatherer, the Radical Rump Congress was industriously en gaged in concocting schemes to Increase the burdens of taxation and put on more tax-gatherers. “ The multitudes in all countries are patient toacertaiu point.” The patience of the American people lias been severely tried, but it cun endure no more of the rule of Radical sin—no more of taxing the poor for the support of the rich;.no more of taxation lo support three, mil lions of hardy, idle negroes ; no more of taxation to a useless and expensive army in time of peace ; no more of luxa tion to support in ollice the Radical pi rates who have destroyed governmenis and constitutions made by Jefferson ami Washington, and their compatriots of that revolution which brought, through fire and sword, our freedom inmi tyran ny, our national existence; im more-of taxation to fill the pockets ot Radical thieves .who hang about the people's treasury ; no more of taxation that It id eal Congressmen may have money to vote away In worthless appropriations. Of these things the people are wearying. Against these things they rebel! Radicalism has taxed, and bleu, and burdened them, until they will no longer stand it, hence we find them taking their f daces beside the yeomau Democracy of he land, and demanding for themselves and their posterity: Equal Taxation- One currency for all. Sovereignty of the States. Economy in public affairs. Union and peace, and Republican Gov ernment forever* * , • These are the live Issues of the pending canvass. Upon these issues are the peo ple arrayed in solid Opposition to the Radical thieves and shoddyitea at Wash ington, and in opposition to the bond holder and aristocrat, the enemy of the laboring men everywhere. 2his is the Tax-layers l Revolution, Let Radicalism beware I BST* “ Comments on the Presidential candidates,” which every voter should read and consider: Blair save 4 Missouri from secession in 1801, and he and Seymour will save the country from the Radicals in 1808. Colfax, in 1804, said that he would not vote for a forelgneror a catholic. Will the foreigners or catholics vote for Col fax in 1808? The Freedmen’a Bureau—a device for supporting the idle negro at the expense of toe white man—sso,ooo,ooo per year. • Blair fought to keep the Southern States in the Union, the Republicans are ligh ting to keep them out of the Union.— Which is right? Grunt says, “ Let us 'have peace.”— Woe to him who.says “Peace, peace, when there is no peace.” The high road to repudiation is the constant increase of the national debt?— Under Radical rule, from August 1,1808, the increased debt is over $12,000,000. “ Arras, give us arms I” cry tho carpet baggers. “ Let us have pence,” says Grant. Radicals and traitors deuy the binding obligations of the- Constitution. Grant has no policy. Seymour’s policy, “economy, reduc tion of tho national debt, less taxes, spe cie payments.” Grunt has “no policy.” Let there bo no more robbing the Gov ernment under tho’ery loyalty. Grant has no policy, consequently his election Is not insured. Seymour has a policy and his election is insured by the people. Seymour saved Pennsylvania from tho Southern rebels in 1803.- He will save the Union from the Radical rebels’ in ms. Tho country cannot afford to elect a deaf and dumb President, said Greeley, in 1807. The people in 1803 say the same thing. •» Temperence, soberness and chastity is the policy of Seymour. Grunt has “no policy” of that kind. If General Grant was “ not" fitted by education and taste” to accept a diplo matic mission to Mexico, is ho fitted by education to bo President of the United States ” Butler indorses Grant. Who will in dorse Butler? Internal debt August 1, 1808, $2,573,000,000. Gold $1.40. Who pays the taxes ? Two Hundred Dollars per Day — We see it stated that the government is paying about two hundred dollars per day for keeping up telegraphic communica tions between Grant and the War De partment. The no policy candidate, it is well known, is simply hidden away in the obscure town of Galena, in the North western part of Illinois. Why is be there in charge of WaahbUrno? Simply because they dare not trust him in Washington. Ho might eay something, or his old in firmity might manifest itself. Hence it is deemed best by his Radical keepers, to exile him till within a few days of the election. All business pertaining to the army, and that is very lieavy, must pass through his bauds, therefore, the oppress ed tax-payers are compelled to pay two hundred dollars per day to keep up tele graphic communications wth him, when he should bo at his office transacting bis business there. His headquarters are flxgd in Washington by special act of Congress— when were they changed f But Radicalism cares nothing about expendi ture of public funds. It is their delight to squander the hard earnings of the peo ple—to push the government to the verge of bankruptcy. What a sorry figure their dumb, no policy, candidate cuts alongside tho elo quent orator and statesman, Seymour.— The latter mingles with the people* speaks to them freely and expresses his sentiments without reserve; the other hides away like a criminal in an obscure village, afraid to face tho people or to apeak to ’hem upon any of tho great questions of- the day, and, in order to transact his official business, for which ho is paid tho magnificent salary of twen ty thousand per annum, spends two hun dred, dollars per day of the people's mon ey ! . Jtiscrfkn«ims. The Editor—A Schoolboy’s Compo sition. —A schoolboy’s composition ou “ The Editor” ran as follows, in a school not far from Cincinnati: “The Editor.— The editor is one of the Imppiestanimala in the known world. He can go to the circus, afternoon and evening, without paying a cent; also to inquests and bangings. Ho has free tickets to picnics and strawberry festi vals, gets wedding cakes sent him, and sometimes gets-licklngs, but not often, for he can take things buck the next is sue, which ho generaly does. I never knew only one editor to get lickt. His' paper busted that day, and ho couldn’t take nothing back.” “ While other folks have to go to bed early, the editor can sit up late every night,laud see all that’s going on. The boys think it’s a big thing to hang out till 10 o’clock. When’l am a man I mean to be an editor, so I can stay out nights. Then that will be bully. The editor don’t have to saw wood or do any chopping, except with his scissors. Rail roads get up excursions for him, know ing if they didn’t he’d make’em get up and git. In politics he don’t care much who he goes for if they are ou his side,— If they ain’t he goes for ’em anyhow, so it amounts to nearly tho same thing.— There is a great many people trying to be editors who can’t and aqme of them have been in the profession for years. They can’t see it, though. If I was a-ked if I had rather have an education or lie a cir cus rider, I would say, let me go and be an editor.” Lager Beer not Intoxicating.—We saw the man last night who won’t be lieve lager beer will intoxicate. .Ho stopped us on Vine street to say “ Mos’ harm’ess bev’ege in the ’orld.— Man can drink lif’y glayae’a never fee it mor’n I am this minlt.

Eat the bread of carefulness, and' you must rise early and lie down late. Care little or nothing about other men’s wants or disappointments. Never permit the fascinations of friend ship to inveigle you into making loans however small. Abandon all other mbit ions or purpo ses. Bull Fights.—lt is asserted that the passion for bull-tightinu is by no means on the decline in rtpa'u. The following llg ures will show Unit the art is flourishing, if not actually on 'he increase. In 18Ut» there were 101 bull rings ; of these 30 he lonued to the caphol towns < f provinces, and the remaining Go in placesof less im portance. The finest bull ring in Spain is that of Valencia, which possesses 10.- 820 seats ; next comes that of Barcelona, which has 11,802 seats; and then the chief bull ring of Madrid, which has 9,- 700 seats. Father,! think you told aflbinthe pulpit to-day,” said a little son of a cler gyman. “Why, what do you mean?” You said, “ one word more, and I have done.” Then went on and saida great many more words. The people expec ted that youM’leave oil ’cause you’d pro mised them. But you did’nt and kept on preaching a long while after the time was up. A minister traveling through the provinces some years ago. asked the old lady on whom he called wnatshe thought of the doctrine of total depravity. “ Oh.
