The Chinese Government having (through

Company the privilege of connecting the great
seaports of the Empire' by submarine electric

nine hundred miles at once, between thel fol

nIY means now of 'communicating informa
on is by couriers on land, and by steamers
on water. . .
The Western World knows that China is a
very large country.-iu the main densely peo
pled but few '',:y . et; realize' that shia contains
more than a third* the human' Mee. , ,The
latest returns nriaddio'her central aiithorities
for taxing purposes by the local magistrates
make her population Four Hundred and Four
teen Millions, and this is more likely to, be
under than over the actual aggregate. Near
lyall 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 ex
tensive its that of ? Europe. China is a land of
te-tchers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early inforisa
don. It is observed in California that the
Chinese make great use of the _telegraPh,
though it there transmits messages in English
alone. if the telegraph we 'impose, connect
ing all their great seaports, were now in ex-'
istence, it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the next two years of its
succesikal: operation, and would steadily in
crease thereafter.

The little matron shook her head iaga.cious - - -

whole matter in plain - figures. Now,' for
instance, There were my two bonnets,
last year. Ned thought as ho* I should
have something better than the' hideous
things Miss• Smith gets, up, in the village,; so
I went to New York. Well, there were
two days lostjusi going and coming at the

self almost todeathloOkinifor ' something

never cost less than twenty-five dollars in
the city. • I mean that gray-velvet she had
last fall." •
"I know all about it. It didn't cost but
six dollars, and it didn't come from the
City."
"Six dollars ! You must be dreaming !
And where, in the name of creation, could
any one get such a bonnet in Maysville ?
Then, again, when I was in the city I saw
a dress something like that blue merino of
Susie Wells' everybody i lliked so much. I
thought I'd enough left to buy it for Ada.
I knew the stuff wasn't more than fourteen
shillings a yard, and it takes just four yards
but besides, there was the making and
trimmings. I went in and priced it.. It
was eighteen dollars."
"And Susie Wells' cost her mother - only
about nine."
"That beats me. out and out. Where
does she go to get such bargains ?!'
"Not very often out of Maysville."
"Why, I never see them. When Igo to
Miss Smith for anything new, most likely
it.'s•some notion she's borrowed from the
Wellses. Ido believe they set the fashions
for this village for dressmakers and a 11.7

"Yes, and what's more, Mrs. Wells does
not buy half those new thing ready-made ;
she makes them herself."
"Oh! it's all in gumption, then. _I never
had any."

"No, not That alone. , I went down to
the house yesterday:to take , tea, and we
got chatting, and somehow we come to talk
about economy, and I said I didn't see - hoW
some folks managed to make such a show
when others, doing quite as well 'in the.
world, couldn't. "Now, you don't mean
me ?' said Mrs. Wells, laughing. 'Why,
yes,' said I bluntly : I do : I can tell you.
Mrs. Wells; I went On, 'Maysville . people
do think you are awful extravagant." Why,'
said she. 'Because you have so many new
'things, and made so costly, and, the child

s he, 'that all mine and the children's new

said I. 'Because I make every penny tell,
and just because Pve got an .invaluable aid

me acquainted with the newest fashions.
It furnishes patterns and ideas, and tells
what to get, and how to make up, so ex

of going to the city, for all I have to do is
to consult my Mentor for shape, style and

boys either. If my means are limited,
there is sure to occur an idea that helps me

At this juncture Mrs. Brown chanced to
glance out of , the window. ".1 have just
finished my story in time;": said she, her
voice subsiding. "There - Is Mrs. Wells
coming up the garden path ;yon shall have
her own testimony.'? ; .
Mrs Wells entrance had been the signal
for the •resolving of the several little groups
'of talkers into a general conversation. Not
a few listened anxiously for her sentence
upon Mrs. Brown's narrative.
"I am quite prepared to indorse all I said
.yesterday," returned she its , conclusion,
smilingly surveying her auditors, "and I
can even say more: • Mrs. Brown kindly
complimented me yesterday upon the 'ar- .

"I have just been testifying to that beforb

"And .I. remember a recommendation from,

And I," chimed in the minister, . "My

gravings. It has• inculcated a taste for art
among them. I think its retlnding influ

dress,.render it an ornament for any parlor
table in the village."
"Any 'one of its peculiarities—its full
sized patterns, its braid' and embroidery
sheets, or twelve excellent sheets of music
is worth far more than the cost of a year's
subscriptimi," suggested Mrs. Wells. "And
besides all tliis, each 'subscriber recives a
able premium:!
A shall subscribe,'." exciamiod Mrs.
Brown.
• "And I," said
.her neighbor.
The words were echoed from all parts of
he romn. . •
." Why not make up a club," suggested
he pastor," and give your orders to Mrs-
Wells ? "
‘Jshouldlike that very much," resumed
the latter.•
"I will tell you why, frankly. • There are
great inducementi offered for this purpose.
For twenty subscriptions at • three dollars
each, • while every individual receives •a
premium, I should come into possession of
a FA3ULT SEWING-MACJIMIL Such a
treasure !"
"You are quite 'deserving ofstich a prize,
as the first to establish the merits of the
Magazine here,". said several. In a. few
shint Weeks Mrs. Wells's sitting4oom
boasted.Jif 'a sewing-Machine and • each.
member of the club a copy of the
magazine
"How do you like it—how • do you like
it? " asked the . various llefaysvilleites, as
they met after this important event. "It
has all the virtues claimed for it. It is, in
truth, an actual, mirror of &Mons." Soon
so said all Maysville, except Miss Smith,
who had hitherto been quite successful in
palming off her antiquated styles upon the
villagers, and-, who • now, found her
"occupatiott gone." .
"What shall Ido ?" said she, wringing
her hands in despair, to• a sympathizing,
gentle sonl, who chanced to be a member
of Mrs. Wells's club.

DOMOREST'S MONTHLY 31.ku.A.zvoll, when
you will be likely to find sugge - stions to
help you out of your difficulty as I most
always do in my own case. Miss Smith,
you had better think of it."
The result of this counsel was that Miss
Smith sent in her subscription.
Early one bright Monday morning the
good people of Maysville remarked that a
marvellous change had come over the mil
linery and dress-making establishment
they had almost ignored.
•
"low beautifully you have fitted up,
Miss Smith," said her friend, who had
been invited to take a look within.

Demorest's Emporium of Fashions, the
headquarters of Demorest's Monthly.
Pme very thankful to you fm mentioning
the Magazine
. to me, for you see it has
helped me out of my trouble."
Time flitted swiftly by, and again the
sewing circle had met at Widow Mays.
What a vast improvement there has
been in our village since we have taken
Demorest's Monthly !" exclaimed Mrs.
Brown; during a pause in the converser
tion. "Mrs. Hart did you take Mrs. \Veils's
advice and subscribe for the county paper?"
: • ceYes, and I mast say it was just as she
said—Mr. Hart and I have resolved never
'to do without it again. He.thinks it saves
.him a great deal more than his false notion
of 'economy ever did."
"That is my opinion Of the Magazine.
There is now one thing for which I have
a great ambition... That is, to get up a
club, large enough .to get, as a premium,
,an organ for the church. I have already
set about it by applying to some of my
friends. I find I have only to show a copy
of the Monthly •to convince them of its
merits. Will any of you aid me ?
Every voice chimed in assent. As wo
men always do when they have a pet pro
ject at heart, they went to work with wil
and energy, and found their task so easy,
that in a few days the• entire supseription
was •on its way to the Publisher of DE3t

THE NEWSBOYS OF NEW YORK.
The industry and activity of the News
boys of New Virk by no means goes un
reWarded. Though their earnings vary a
pod deal, they having their good and bad
days like, the rest of the world, they can
generally realize from 50 cents to $3 a (lay,
accerdiug to' their age, activity, and capital.
On the arrival of important news, however,
when what are called "extras" are issued,
some of theta make considerable sums.—
During the late elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana,
.when dispatches wdro
'Constantly arriving till a very late hour,one
•boy sold 560 papers •between 11 and 12 1-2
o'clock at night, realizing $ll net prat in
one hour and a half; his mate sold 540 in
. _
the same time. I. These same boys, each
about 15 years of age, sell 2,000 papers
hetweeri- them when the telegraph an
nounced the capture of Jefferson Davis;
and, on the evening that Mr. Lincoln was
assassinated,-they sold the enormous num
ber of 2,400.
His last batch of papers disposed of the
newsboy trudges down to. Park-place, and
Merrily borinding - up the wide staircase of
one Of the largest buildings in the street,
finds-himself at home. This is the "News
boys' Lodging-house." /
Here, every_evening, about 6 1-2 o'clock
are congregated nearly 200 representatives
'Of humanity; in inud, rags, and tatters,
from' 7to 17 years old. On entering, each
bciY gives in his name to the Superintendent
• at,the sametime paying 15 cents, in return
for which he receives a ticket for his supper
bed, ann'breakfakt; and the key of a kicker,
'which is his for the night. Having placed
:what Money he wishes to save in the
Home mone?-box, be goes to the lava
tOries,:where there are baths, hot and cold
.water, and every appliance for washing in
alnuidance. It does one good
. to see, the
hearty way in which these youngsters go
for a scrub,-with a piece of yellow soap
and a rough towel. Some of them must
have taken a lesson from that chapter in
Pickwick where Mr. Weller "has a rinse."
Every boy is compelled to take a
bath. One by one they assemble in the
large hall and although very orderly and
well behaved, commence a series of antics
and chaff with one another; the practice of
the Grecian Bend is jest now very much
in vogue, and 'causes much amusement.—
They appear. 'to have a peculiar slang
hing,uage of their own and most of them
.rejoice iusoine whimsical soubriquet, such
as: "Mickety," "Rinind Hearts," "Horace
Greeley," " Wandering Jew," "Fat Jack,"
"-Pickle Nose," " Cranky Jim," " Dodge.
me-John," • "Tickle-me -foot," "Know-
Nothing-Mike," " o,Neffl. the Great,"
" Professor," and many others equally rid
iculous. At seven 'supper is sired,
consisting of bread and butter or sytup,
coffee or soup, and sometimes stewed
meat and plenty of it. After supper some'
attend the night school, generally about
SO ; some go to the:gymnasium a fine lofty
room adjoining the ball, with every ap
pliance for amusing the boys ; again others
go into the streets either for amusement or
to sell extras. On Saturday night a great
many of them attend the theaters. At
nine all those who are then in the home
go to bed: those who are out after nine
are fined one cone fbr every hour they
remain out, and no boy is admitted after
12 o'clock, under any pretext. whatever.—
They sleep in two magnificent dormitories;
each 100 feet by 50, lofty, well ventilated,
and scrupulously clean. The boys not
boasting • any particular night clothes
they nui about the streets in. They all
haye a good wash in the morning, one of
the boys acting is barber for the whole es
tablishment, and, judging from the short
length of hair of many of the boys, he plies
scissors well.. They have a substanial
breakfast, and start once more on their
Bohemian career. ; Every alternate Tues
day the Home forward a batch of those
boys who are anxious to do well to the
Western farming districts, under thr charge
of an agent, by whom the boys are placed
with the more respecable farmers, who un
dertake to feed, clothe, and educate them
and are obliged to give satisfatcory re
ferences to character, &c. Seven hundred
and nine boys were started in life in this
way during the past year, and are all well
cared •for, happy, and contented. Lads
who left the Home ten or twelve years ago
for the West are well-to-do farmers or pro
sperous shopkeepers, some of them actually
independent; and it is a common oc
currence for applications for boys to be
made by young men who commenced their

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE bE.X.E.S.
—What makes those men who associate
habitualy with women superior to others?
What makes that woman who is accus
tomed to and at ease in the company of
men superior to her sex in general ?
Solely because she is in the, habit of a free,
graceful and continual conversation with
the other sex. Women in Ibis way lose
their frivolity, the faculties awaken, their
delicacies and 'peculiarities unfold all.their
beauty and captivation in the spirit of
intellectual rivalry. And the men lose
their pedantic, rude, declamatory, or sullen
manner. The coin of the understanding
and the heart is interchanged continually.
Their asperities are rubbed off; their better
materials polished and brightened, and
their richness, like fine gold, is wrought
into finer workmanship, by the figure of
woman, than it ever could be by those of
men. The iron and steel of our character
are laid aside, like the harshness of a war
rior in the time of race end recurity.

We do not generally give much credence
to ghost stories—but the following which
we find in the Lynchburg News appears
so intrinsically reasonable in view of the
wretch that would swindle an editor, that
we cannot for a moment doubt its truth.
"The.story," says the News," dedicated in
an especial manner to all newspaper
readers." That apparitions do not always
wander, without sufficient cause is proved
by the well attested .fact which we give
below:
"Last Tuesday night, as Mrs. —, a
lady of taste and studious habits, sat
reading in her drawing—room, the clock
on the mantle—piece struck twelve. As
the - last stroke reverberated through the
apartment, the door was flung wide
open. In the act of raising her head to
repel the intrusion (mining for) of her
servant, her eyes rested on the form of
her late husband. She screamed and
fell senseless on the carpet. This brought
up such members of the family as had not
retired to rest. Restoratives were adtnin
istered, and when Mrs.—had regained
her suspended faculties, being a woman of
strong mind and highly cultivated intellect,
she felt disposed to consider the whole
distress she had imdergone as the result
of certain associations between the melan
choly tale she had been perusing, and her
loss, operating upon a partially deranged
system. She however, considered it ad
visable that her maid-servant should repose
in her chamber, lest any return of what
she considered a nervous affection, should
distress herself and alarm tke family.
Last Saturday night, feeling stronger and
in better spirits than she hadi for some
month past, Mrs. - dispen with the
presence of her attendant, retiring alone
to her chamber, and weri, to bed a little
before ten o'clock. Exactly as the clock
struck twelve, she was awakened from her
sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparation
she had seen before, advancing from the
table (on which stood her night lamp,)
till it stood opposite to, and drew the
curtain of her bed. She described her very
blood retreating with icy coldness to her
heart from every vein. The countenance
of her beloved in life wore not its benevolent
aspect : the eyes once beaming with love
were now fixed with stern regard on the
trembling being, who, with the courage of
desperation, thus ajdured her:
"Charter! derr Charles! Why have you
come again ?"

"Jessie I" slowly and solemly gasped the
shadowy form, waving in his hands a
small paper, "Jessie, pay my newspaper
manta, and let me rest in peace !"
THE following story may serve to illus
trate the assertion that Russians arc abso
lutely incapable of understanding or ap
preciating a joke : An English gentleman
was relating to a Russian friend that he
bad once seen on a country road a pest
with this inscription : "This road leads to
the town;,all persons who cannot read
this may apply to the* blacksmith." To the
great anguish of the narrator his friend re
mained perfectly composed, and thanked
him for his story with a studied politeness
which showed that he had not understood
it in the least. But the next morning the
Russian burst into his room in convulsions
of laughter, exclaiming, "My friend, I do
understand it now I Fool that I was not
to think of it ! As if the blacksmith might
not be away from home!
Ix his late speech at Carlisle, Ohio, Mr.
Stanton said : "I have been told by those
visited their friends in Europe, shortly
after the close of the war, that' in every
household, in every place, by every fire
side, there hung tag portrait, more or' less
rude, of Abraham Lincoln." Mr. Lincoln's
portrait is found in Asia, as well as in
Europe—and in parts of Asia where Amer
icans are rarely seen. Mr. Thomas W.
Knox, in his journey through Siberia, two
years ago, frequently saw portraits of our
martyred President hanging on the wills
of the wayside stationglignd in the hands of
the wealthy citizens. At Eyaterluburg in
the Ural Mountains, he was shown a buo
of Mr. Lincoln, that was being made to till!
order of a wealthy Russian. The bust wa ;
five or six inches in height, and cut
topaz, from a model procured front Amer
ica for. the purpose.
TUE RED SEA.—The Red Sea is to bt
the hottest placein the world. The attnos
phere for about sixty miles on that sea is
steamy and sticky. Everything in the
shape iron or steel about a ship takes on a
coat of rust, During the stuumer month
no one travels on the Red Sea unless com
pelled by business or military orders to do
so. In the winter and spring, the passage
is delightful. Yet navigation in that body
of water is always attended with many
dangers. The Red Sea is long and narrow
with sunken rocks and projecting reefs; and
counter winds prevail, which produce
dangerous currents. There are three
light-houses in the sea, which must be
kept by salamander-like men since the
thermometer runs up to one hundred and
twenty degrees in July and approaches
ninety in early spriug.
