Feverieh activity WaS manifeet from the enter wart to the inner eanctuary. Black slaves from Cueli hurried noiselesely ; they carried food for the family ; they sprinkled the floors with perfumed water ; a few paced the high wall that eurrounded the house. Of these the chief was watching for the risitag of the sue, while the othere peered down the dark street toward the bridge and the city wall as if awaiting honored guest. It was the month of the Altar of Right- eousness, and, the fourteenth day of that meet)/ was nearly at herd, That waa the day and night of all the year dedicated to the worship of the moon -god Harai. Thous- ands were already encamped within and about the gatee of 'Ur, the capital city of the Chaldeans, ready to participate in the splendid ceremoniaaa of the oared time. The worship of the gods demanded a pro - fes -ion which has, gradually faded away until it has become extinct, It was an oc- cupation which was the very foundation of the arts of painting and of soulpture ; it was a mystery rather than a craft; it was a charge tbattbe state committed to the hands of one family only; it was a vocation that demanded a rigid adherence to rules the origin of which was boat in the mists of his- tory. It also called for a creative fancy that was fitted to inspire the fervor of a fanatic people. He who followed, its pursuits, though admitted to the esoteric secrets of a jealous idolatry, did not share in admin istra,tion. He inspired the influence of an erosive priesthood, but did not wield it, Without him even the gods wereimpossible, and religion was dead. Men must see what they worship, and Terakh, like his family before him for many generations, was a carver of wood, a hewer of atone, a maker of gods. Even now, in the black of the day, while it was yet cool, he was standing before a terraele image in atone upon which he was chiseling the finishing touches. • The room was square and high, A flick ering lamp suspended from the ceiling made the grotesque face of the sitting statue scowl and grimace as if it were alive. Its life-size stone arm, were extended with a gesture at once horrible and caressing. Its stone facet bending forward, had been cut into feromous lines by Terakh, and was as much the embodiment of malignity as rude art could make it. A blood -thirsty god this Hurki, impatient for the ghastly sac rifice which every year placed upon hip arms a living babe, the first-born of a help less household, the darling of some doomed home. The old man stepped beak, viewing his masterpiece with a grave smile of satiefac- tion. He wee a tall man, as lean as a lost ideal. His straight white beard swept his waist; his low cep, which had been at one time ornamented with two red horns' that toed upright, had lost one altogether, while the other had a listless droop ; his robe had been originally an elegant garment, flounc- ed and striped and fringed, but now it was dingy andfrayed, and the holethrough which his left arm protruded had a gaping rip., It was the, costume of a man indifferent to opinion, too old teat -flake dress a matter of moment, who lived for achievement rather then for luxnry. Yet Terakh was one of the princes of Ur. He was a friend and counselor of the great king, he was beloved by the priests, he was a patriarch in the land, and his family had preferment among the people. In a nation that worshiped images, what might not be given to him who alone was the maker of the gods them- selves? Terakh had a curious expression of great pride and of passionate longing. It was a face of sorrow and disappointment. His was a countenance in which religious en- thaslasm was lacking. Was it because tbe maker of gods coald not worship them? The curl of his lip as he stood there alone, admiring and disdaining his handiwork, • seemed ready to atter the hearts of all the priests of antiquity-" Thou art a god for the people, but not for me." With a breath of relief Terakh oast his bronze hammer and his chisel upon the tiles. The moon - god was finished. And now, before the dawn, a caravan could be heard approaching the house of Terakh. Riders on velvet -footed camels preceded the motley cavalcade with great dignity; while behind them wild -looking retainers upon atallione, drove a cloud of sheep and goats up the narrow streets, until they huddled, trembling and panting, before the gate that shut off' the huge court and the house of Terakh from the city. Situated next to the temple wall, Teriekh's establishment was & village in itself. It had courtyards, &large inn for guests, a garden, and fountains -enough room for a regiment of men and cattle, By this time the city was awake, and the un was about to rise. Citizens gaped at he unusual sound. "It is the son of Terakh from the desert," they said one to another. 4' ft is he I It is he I" cried the slaves n the lookout. In the confusion of `answering shouts the ate opened. A young man upon the fore- most camel rode impatiently in. His etinee remained impatiently behind. With he ease of an athlete he swung himself from his high seat before the camel had time to kneel. When he touched the round he was seen to be a mighty man. yen in the dark of the dawn he was seen o he a Man of beauty. His face quivered with expression. Be had the eyes of a hinker ; some might have called them the yea of a mystic. These were set deep, fter the manner of those who meditate on he problems of life. They indicated a ature that was contemplative, and at the artie time capable of great practical force, in 1.1 ages a rare combination. Bounding the he threshold, he fell on his knees before woman. "My mother !" he cried in ones of Oriental reverence, 'Arise, my son. Thou comma with the lensing of the light of the gods." " Shainshu is atisen " "The Lord of Vire liveth I" "Great is Shamshu 1" The cry went from Mouth to mouth. netently men and women, freeborn arid levee, struck attitudes of devotion, an a worshiped the risen sun, Like a mira.ce e he Oriental dawn had come and gen., Suddenly, as if awakened from a tame-, be birds etarted to sing, and the life ef nother day in sacred Ur began, "My brethren, are they well?" "They are at worship, and they are well," said Antelai, wife of Terakla ' " And my father, is he well? at tamale ast upOn my Bps, for my heart faileth me o e,s1r. Is rtiy father ?" " rfe is well, my eon, and waiteth for bee in the presence of his latest god." " May un be thanked for thy good words, dear mother, I go to say fether. Be- -told, heVes brought five hundred of the rstaborn of my flocks for my father and for he etteriace," Be waved his hand toward he bleating herd which the men were pen - sing in its quarters. " Thine hands drop fatness," said Anto- ai, adoringly. Mr son iltrocie over the threshold. As he id so, Anteled poured water upon the sill ith omen of prosperity, and muttered an voeation. Through well known passages lie yetieg man hurried, heett beat high as he stopped before the eneregice and the familiar tapestry. The oid *mare who had trail led his own it/islet/epee elinest to rate/ nitrirses*te with 01610 aSeaesesaassesse, Terakh for his portion of the inheiitancet This he had taken, aed lied changed into flocks the singe and robes, the slaves and lands, the wheet and barley, the gold and Silver, that had come to him, end had gone to the desert. There, sheltered by his rov- ing tent, and protected from robbers by Site courage which he tegglit hie followers, ha bed. increased his wealth tenfold; and had made hie influence among the wander. lug tribes of the region act powerful that they called him Abu -realm the "exalted father." This name Mtn* to Irina during all his stirring adventures until hie death, For by birth, by intelligehoe, by imagination, and by fortune, the son of Tereleh was a prince among the people; and Arnraphel, the king of '(Jr and of Shiner, feared the independence of no other man in his king- dom as he did that of the young owner of man -servants and maid-servents,a,nd of mit- tie like the stars in number, who already, in his youth, was respeetfully called " the father of the plains of Shiner. Even Te- rakh felt a secret awe of his eon when he looked into the young man's unfathomable eyes -eyes fearless under the might and blight of a priesthood that multiplied omens and incantations and gods until the people trembled under a despotism more withering than that of the Whip. It was even possible for a man to flee from the slavery of Amra. phel ; but who could escape theeurses of Hee, or Teletex, or Zamaina, or ebo, Or illamash, or Hurki, and the persecutions of A hundred other minor gods, who made themselves dreaded and dreadful under the rapacious guidance of the priests? it is my will that thou serve Hurlci,the god of the gods, in the great temple," Terakh had said to his sou when the lad :eased to cut his forelock and attained his majority. The youth had looked at Terakh ear° ihgly, and for a while remained sil- ent. Then he said slowly, and with the reverential accent due to his father, who had over him the power of life and death;' Oh my father, is It not enough for thee -o make the feeds'? When I see from „what thou makest them a voice within me forbids me to interpret them to the people, Indeed. I knew not how. I would be a shepherd, uncouinsed by many gods, or else I would iepart to a far country." • This remarkablereply was not braggadocio,. tint the expression of a heroic conviction; and Terakh, being a wise man, had given his son his own way. ' Now Terakh turned to the completed -tatue and looked at It significantly. He was a man vain of his skill. He was the greatest sculptor of his race, and his gods commanded fabulous prices. Abu-ramu understood what was expected of him, and inspected Hurki attentively, Be regarded the god as a man might a toy that he hadonceplayed with end caressed. "He is a very terrible god. I should think that he was your best." The sbn, thinking he had done his duty, turned from the god he despised to the father he loved. " You did not bow before him when you entered," said Iera,kh, trying to look stern- ly at his favorite boy, "It is well that only I noticed the neglect, for the king enforces his decree against those who do 'not . bow down and worship Burka the shining lord of the month." Ahn-ramtt turned his penetrating gaze upon the old man. Terakh had not the moral courage of his son. Abu-rienu had known the emancipation of solitude he had the education of the desert, "Hurki has not yet been set upon his throne, my father. And thou, 0 my father, ought to know Hurkas power, for thou haat 'made him. As for the king -a greater one than Ainraphel or Hurki is my guide. I am not afraid." As Abu -remit said this, he made a sudden and beautiful cibeisance something invisible that silenced the elder man.* What new god had Abneramn dis- covered Terakh did .not ask. He changed the conversation, but questioned himself whether he had what is worse than the overflow or the dirought-a heretical ,on. " Islath becometh a priestess of Hurki- that is the only new thing I have to relate." Terakh looked upon hisstatue doubtfully and lovingly as he spoke. Ells son also looked upon the god, but darkly. "I have not seen the little maiden ler many years. She was visiting Sippara when I was here last. Where is she ?" "She is no loegeret little maid.. She is as stately as a royal. palm, and as beautiful as a lily. She heedeth not command or ad- vice. She will uot bend to her parents,nor to thy mother, nor to me. Baran bath given her to Hurki. He can do naught with her." Abu-raneu smiled. The old man had evi- dently found out that it was easier to mold a god than a girl. Abu remembered a dark skin and a darker eye, a light laugh and lighter feet, and gestures and smiles that had mocked him for his gravity; and yet he thought that Iskah, his half -brother's daughter, had always respeoted his prefer- ences after her own way. He used to play with her and fondle her as he would one of his greyhounds. She used to be a eri:da pretty thing with once in a while a look -as if loeging to be tamed, The recollection of those days was pleasant to Abu-reenu. He had man -servants and. maia-servants, and, they had wives and husbands, but the exalted father" of Shiner had neither wives nor concubines. "What a priestess!" he repeated to himself with a twitching lip. "What will Hurki think of her ?" Aloud he said again: Where is she, my father?" , "Karen is within the gate, and Iskah is here, too. She feedeth the birds in the garden about this hour. Go and seek her for I think that in her heart she beedeth thee." And Abtnreme 'went into the para- dise of palms to look for Iskah. Shamshu, the morning sun of life, had arisen only a few minutes, but the sacred city of Ur already smoked with the heat. To -morrow was the seventh day, the white day of the year,and thin columns of incense, ascended like dark petitions from the huge ziggurat. The house and the courts and gardens of Terakh adjoined the vast mobs - sure of the temple of Mirka Already the confused cries of merchants and votaries, and the authoritative shouts of priests and soldiera were shrill upon the motionless air. To -morrow would come the ceremonies, the sacrifices, the dedication of the new god mirs,culottely bestowed upon/ the temple ; to -Morrow the full moon and the inearcer. ittion of 'shale (To bit cowritqu.go.)

Three voyagers on that coca - Sion! made au ascent in Prance with the Intention of erossing the `6/1 (Ahem/wan and landing in Algeria.

Walhen In Hese°, Two or three teronauts have proposed to cross the Atlantio in a balloon, 'but so far it has begun and ended in talk only. Terrill° Combat in the Ocean, right to the Death between, Three °roast mad a wilefe. ilisnk Welsh, who has followed whaling for many'years, was lucky enough to be one of a crew beyond the gulf of the Holy Cross lad spring that came upon large whale in distress, eurrouncled by three mon' Ster circa*, or billers, whioh had him wiud. ed and badly wounded. The story is best told by Welsh.; "We sew a big broadheed half a. mile away teaseindvre,rd, and he kept a -jumping so hard that we knew he wise in trouble, • When we got closer we saw some the -sabers or billers afoul of him, and the water for an acre or two around was bloody. The °roes were pretty big ones and very vicious, espeoially one winch was fully twenty feet long, and, when the whale went down a few fathoms this old boy rushed down after him and gave it to him hard. You see a whale can Stay under about half an hour, and he cap go down 410 or 500 fathoms without minding the pressure, but he can't de a single submarine triok ahead of an ores, These omit sometimes ohms a whole so hard that, when he hits the bottom he breaks his jerboa& Well, this old once, followed the whale so savagely that he did not stay down over five minutes at a time, and when he came up he was jumped on by the other two, which kept watch on him like two. hungry wolves. When he saw the ferocious gang he [teemed to lose heart, for they were too quick for him. I think he re.a just about worn out or downhearted or some- thing for he anchored for a second. This gave the big oroa a chance to slide up and catch him by the under lip and bits a piece out. The old fellow lashed and, dived, but down went another ores, after him. " When the whale came up the orce had hint by the lip, and the. third one caught him by the tongue. Now a whale's tongue is six feet long and weighs as much as a man. The way the onus jerked it all out of him piece by piece and, then ate off his low- er lip in spite of all he could do, heat all the fights under the sun How that whale did suffer till e got up and let a dynamite bomb into him. • When Bill Peters lanced him he seemed to enjoy it, for he turned over and died easily." It seems to be agreed amonag all whalers that no fight ever seen equals the awful combats which these sea monsters wage against one another with unflagging fero- city. The once is the only grampus or warm-blooded • animal of the ocean that constantly preys upon the warm-blooded creatures of his own kind, preferably the -whale, the largest of his shecies. • The orca's habits are predatory, and his strength and ferocity are remarkable. "The cams often travel with swordfish," said Capt. Thompson, an old whaler, "and I have sometimes seen a whole school in combat with four or five oreas and a few swordfish. When the swordfish get under a whale and the oreas commence to tear his under lip and tongue, which are choice morsels for them, he seems to know his days are numbered. r don't know how long a whale can live after these savage creatures attack him, but our crews have found several carcasses of whales which had bled to death front the wounds thus inflicted by. their enemies. I have also seen broken. backed orcas which had been struck by a whale's flukes." When Was the Telephone First Thad? An Bnelish officer in India, named Har- rington, with a fellow traveher, discovered In that country a working telephone be- tween two temples at Panattbout 200 miles from. Madrae This telephone, between these two temples, which were a mile apart, acted by means of vibratory action on a diaphragm with an underground wire con- necting the two stations. The system is said to have been in operation at Panj for over 2,000 years, and the remains of worm- eaten transmitters and wooden conduits (whioh had been replaced by new ones) were shown to them which must have been hundreds of years old. Of the modern im- proved telephone, now so largely in use in Great Britain, Canada and the United States, the first used was on an experi- mental line from the house of the inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, (on the outskirts of Braritford, Ontario) across his gar- den, which, on being found work- able, was extended to the residence of the Reverend Thomas Hendersotain Brant- ford. The first commercial telephone line was established at Hamilton, Ontario, in October, 1877, by the District Telephone Company. Mr. Preece, the well-known electrician of the British Post Office, beought over from America two telephones which he exhibited at Abe Plymouth meet- ing of the British Association in 1877. In the following year the first telephone company was established in that country. The principle of the telephone appears to have been understood, if not reduced to practice, in Great Britain nearly three centuries ago. A bookseller in London has a book printer' in 16 09 which contains picture of a man speaking at one end of two long lines, while paople are standing at St great distance away with the ether ends to their ears apparently listening to what he says. The letterpress consists of tome Latin verses, the substance of which is that the sound is being conveyed along the lines. ' The Origin of the Name America. The much -debated ghestion of the origin of the name America is considered by Da John Murray, of the "Challenger" expedi- Mon, in a most interesting article in the Scottish Geographical Magazine for Nov. ember. He palate out that in the Centime • mere -the oldest but one of the New World, prepared in part, it is believed,by Vespucci -the name Tamarique oeours " towards Darien mid in the direction of Nicaragua." To this day a little to the westward of Nicaragua is a range of mountains called Sierra, Amerrique, inhabited by a tribe (once widely extended) called Amerriques. Again Amaroe, or America is shown by their Sainted Beek to have been the nation - el name of the Pertiviana, Tarnariame, is, therefore,supposed tosta,nd for TerriiaArtieri.. quo, 'It was an age of nicknames, What more natural than that Veripucei should be called America Vespueoi Its Christian, name of Anierigo would lend itself to, or even suggest, the nickname.

The Illileeettels Vegan When a Barber Was • Lathering Me Chile -Seven Phyeicianti Puzzled -The Pattent Anxious for • Death. A New York special says ;---Ten weeks ago John Carberry, of Webster street, Newark, was a strong, robust, medium- alaod Man, weighing just 147 'pounds, and in the enjoyment of perfect health. To- day he is a mere shadow of hie former self, weighing less than ninety pounds. and hardly able to talk, much less move. Re is lying on a coeob. at his Parente' home aoxiously Awaiting death to relieve the agony he endures. His sueeringe are clue, apparently, moiety to en attack of hie - coughs which hoe baffled the skill of seven eminent physicians of Newark and appears to grow worse daily, despite their efforts, as well as the one hundred and one home remedies usually applied in similar oases. The -most peculiar phase of Carberry's effitc- tion is the manner in which it was con- tract's& Ten weeks ago he stopped at his barber's, according to his usual DUESOITA on Wednes- day, to get shaved. While applying the lather, Carberry' says, the barber used un- usual force on the chin, and he Was suddenly seized with an attack of the hiccoughs. It became so violent i watt forced to leave the chair before he had been shaved, - After sippipg water, and trying sever a other old-fashioned remedies without ob- taining relief, Carberry left for Labor's saloon where he was employed as a bar- tender. He was rapidly growing worse, and un- able to obtain relief he went home, and after his mother had tried mustard plasters on the chest and throat, potato poultices, sugar and vinegar and several other house- hold remedies, he summoned Dr. Chapman. The latter prescribed and cheerily /said when leaving that, the patient would be all right the following day. But he wasn't, and then Dr. Wendell was *ailed in con. junotion with Dr. Chapman. Another day passed without relief, and Da Corwin etas added to the list of attendants, without any better results. " • The doctors were puzzled, the patient grew despondent, and the parents becom- ing greatly alarmed, added in turn to the list of physicians Drs. Lony, Zeh, Towle% and Hawk. The seven physicians held consul- tation after eonsultation, applied all known remedies, internal and external, without af- fording the patient any apparent relief. So it continued from day to day, with the patient rapidly growing thin and emac- iated, unable to sleep, eat, or drink, s'aid the hiccoughs recurring at regular intervals of thirty seconds, until the sufferer actu- ally began to pray that death might come to his relief. • The doctors say 'that such a case is &boo- lutely without precedent. They presumed he might be &Maned with inflammation of the stomach, arid have used hot water as an emetic and douche, but without afford- ing the patient even tempt:may relief. • The case has attracted widespread atten- tion, and hundreds of visitors call at the house daily to ascertain the condition �t the patient. The outcome is watched with great interest by medical meta and every one of standing in the vicinity has been consulted as to the probable "end of the malady. Carberry, notwithstanding his occupation, is r a temperance man, and was always regular in his habits. He worked as a ship carpenter until five months ago, when he began to tend bar. OUR HAT TRADE BRITAIN. An Increase or 50,020 Tens Epxorted Last Year. A London special says :-The statistics of the hay trade of Great Britain for last year, which was one of failure of the home crop, and of consequent ;opacity, have just been published. They ‚will interest Canadians as they show that Canada, to a. greater extent than any other country, with the exception of the United States, has taken advantage of the situation to extend her trade. • The quantity of hay imported during the year was 263.050 tons, compared with 61,- 237 tons during the previous year. Of the whole quantity the United States supplied 101,132 tons against 11,588 in 1892, Canada 55,175 tons against 13,120, Holland 28,332 tons, Russia 27,694 tons, the Argeneine States 24,594 tons and Australia 49 tons. The importations from Holland and Russia are regarded with much apprehen- sion, the fear being that they may bring disease, and especially the cholera which has been more or less prevalent 'in both countries. English oonsumere express a hope that the Canadian and American exporters will in future discard wire binding, as there is danger to the animals from the swallowing of fragments of wire, which are occasion- ally found in the hay which has thus been tied up. Feeding the Sultan - It requires just twice as many slaves as there are courses to serve the Sultan's dinner. He usually sits on a divan near a window, which looks over the Bosphorus, and takes his ease in te loose pembazar and geglik with his sleeves turned up. He never uses a plate, He takes all his food direct trona the vessels in which it 'is cook- ed. Each kettle is sealed with a slip of paper and a stamp, and this is broken in the presence of his Majesty by the high chamberlain, who taste.; one spoonful of each separate kettle before the royal per - 'senesce takes it. This, of course is to pre. vent the Nultan, from being poisoned. -These vessels are sometimes gold. But when of baser metal the kettle is set into a rich, golden, bell-shaped holder, the handle of which held on a golden tray by another slave. The Sultan hever uses a table and rarely a knife or fork. A spoon, his piece of bread, pancake or fingers are farhandier. The whole household are at liberty to take meals when it suits him or her best, and then everyone is served with a small tray, with a spoon and a great chunk of bread. The higher officers only get the pancakes. After his Majesty is satisfied he takes his coffee and chiboult and indulges in a quiet reverie. His permanent order is that he be not disturbed during this restful spell, Sledge DOTI igortemsstsea a. Six or eight doge are used on each sledge. They are only fed once in twenty•four hours and that is in the morning before the start is made and after the dogs -are in harness. At that Mine about four pounds of frozen fish are given to them. Everything must be in readiness for the start and the Men muet look to it that they are at hand to jump on the sledges, for at the very instant the last morsel of ffeh disappears the dogs aro off at a breek-imok speed, Strange as it wily seem, the drivers do not dare to fend the dogs unlesh they are in harness.

She met a terrible storm on Tuesday last, in wi.ich the Beta and other vessels were damaged. Those on boar had been through some terrific weather lint remember nothiug to beat this.

The gale lasted throughout the night, and the matte were continually doing damage. When the tarpaulip was tore cet the hatches, Capt. 'Bruhn, the chief Oilier and a nernber of men attempted to secure it. They had got it down, hut had no wedges handy, and a gust of aind lifted it and almost took it away from them, but theysecured it again, when an immense wave towered over the ship, and, falling jest in front of where they were working, washed the vessel from stein to Stern, carrying the men with it along the decks. Some of them feared their end had come, and one lad was engaged in prayers, while others founa themselves with such injuries that they could hardly move. Captain Bruhn had three ribs broken, the chief mate had his, head split open, while the others were more or less bruised, and one had a severe out on the top of his bead, from which the blood flowed freely, pour- ing down over his fates. But the worst of all, after they came to count up, a seaman named Wm. Carney,who hadbeen at work with the others, was missing.

He belonged to North Shields. This did not end their troubles as others were afterwards injured. Thos. Morgan, one of the seamen who had received the least injuries of any when they were struck by the wave, was working at the after hatch when another wave boarded the vessel and he was knocked against the side of the ship, where he remained for some moments and then managed to crawl to the wHhaeliefla-x.house. The weather 'Moderated slightly next day and they bore up towards THE ST. PIERRE'S ROUGII TIME. The steamer St.- Pierre has also arrived from the south coast of Newfoundland. Capt. Angrove reports the weather very stormy. On Saturday, January 27th, she met a very heavy gale from the east south- east, with snow squalls. The steamer left January 29oh and arrived in Burin and proceeded to St. Pierre.

The gale continued all day, and during the night veered to south-south- west and blow with tremendous force, with a heavy sea. The ship was kept head to the wind all night. and in the morning bore up for St. Pierre. She left St. Pierre February 1st, Chanel, February 3rd, and after steaming 30 miles encountered large strips of ice, which got heavier as the ship proceeded. Altogether she. ran through about 60 miles of ice. The latest fishery reports are that bait fish are scarce, but on the whole the bay fishery has been more successful than the preceding one. THE FEENOR IN CHINA.' The Paris rapers Fear a Counterpart or the CPSR1011 or Canasta. So, then, the territory between the Nam Hou and the Upper Mekong is to be given to China. We all know well enough that ! China would gain by this, and England' would gain still more. We should pay for both. In the first p ace, for our Tonkinese ; and Annitmese possessions. There would be a permanent danger in the presence in the region of the Upper Mekong of the Chinese authorities. This would render the pa.oifi- cation of the 'Rea River basin impossible; it is already difficult enough. It would be handing over benevolently to China a terri- tory which for two reasons belongs partic. ularly to us: it is the Tonkin "Hinterland," and it has always been a dependency of Annam. We have no reason to be so gen- emus as this without compensation, Sec- ondly, when China is settled in this region, the English will shortly obtain the core cession for the famous railway which, passing through the western valley of the Wain Hou, must link Sernao, the great southern China market, by way of Moulmein to Rangoon, the capital anti commereial port of Engl sh Burma. The English will thus have carried out the pur- pose they have been pursuing for 20 years -ever since our original plan of taking Tmikin-namely, the purpose of -obtaining by the establishment of a railway the com- merce of Southern China, Which, according to Lord Dufferire is worth 17 milliards of fames. They will succeed in turning aside this commerce to their profit, yet its natur- al centre is Leo Kai and its natural route the Red River. We should then have nothing to do but to hand over to China the protectorate not only of the Upper Me. knee but of Tonkife Anniten, Cochin hi a, and Cambodia, and return home. If the information of the Times is true, if Devel le has really been thus duped by Lord Dufferm and Lord Rosebery, Ma 'Casimir Perier must lose no time in disowning an arramgement which is all to the advantage of England and the detriment of Prance. It wotild be the counterpart on the other side of the World of the cession of Canada, -[Paris Le Soir.
