THE FIRST RAILWAY IN CHINA.

The Daily Telegraph makes the following observations on
the opening of the first railway in China :
Intelligence was published in London on Monday to
the effect that the first Chinese railway for the con-
veyance of passengers was opened on the 30th of June
last at Shanghai. The line, it is true, is not of great
length. It will extend only from Shanghai to Woo
sung, a distance of about forty miles; and the portion .
completed goes nearly half-way, to a place called
Kangwan. A hundred and fifty Invited guests belong-
ing to the foreign community participated in the " in.
" of the line; but on Saturday, the lit
inst , the natives were allowed to travel free—a privi-
lege of which they appear to have availed themselves
con amore; since it is stated that six trains started in
the course of the day, and that they were all crowded
with passengers. Advices down to the sth men-
tion that the cash receipts on the Monday and Tuesday
succeeding the free day were highly satisfactory.
Why John Chinaman should have been deemed en-
titled to a gratuitous pass for himself,
.his wife, and
olive branches on Saturday, may at the first blush seem
difficult of comprehension; but the concession was
probably made with a view of conciliating the native
population in the presence of that which promises to
prove the most radical innovation ever introduced into
the social and perhaps into the political, economy of
the Chinese Empire. Our surmise is strengthened by
a significant remark in one of the telegrams from
Shanghai: "It is thought that the railway will not be
interfered with." Imperfectly civilised races are, as we
all know, apt to "interfere" with modern improvements.
The Spaniards of the South—who are not much less bar-
barous than the Chinese—" interfered '! with the
electric telegraph, and nearly tore a telegraphic en-
gineer to pieces on the almost incredibly absurd ground
that he had used the fat of new-born babies to grease
his wires withal; while the Spaniards—or rather the
Basques—of the North systematically interfered with
the Catalonian and Aragonese railways by tearing up
the rails, breaking
.down the bridges, plundering the
trains, and murdering the station-masters. The
Chinese, who have rather a weakness for infanticide,
are not likely to be afflicted with the hallu-
cination regarding the adipose residuum of babies
being used for the lubrication of telegraph
wires ; and, if the Shanghai and Woosung
Railway, yid Kangwan, does not pass through any of
the graves of their ancestors, there does not appear to
be any valid reason why they should mob the trains or
assassinate the drivers and stokers ; unless, indeed,
they regard anything proceeding from a "Red-headed
Devil" to be a " pidgin " which must be forthwith
hurled to the "topside galow " of destruction. At all
events, the momentous experiment seems to have been
begun in right earnest; and its progress cannot fail
to be watched with the utmost curiosity by civilised
nations.

THE PHYLLOXERA.

Several documents on this subject have been re-
ceived by the French Academy of Sciences. One was
a letter addressed to M. Dumas by M. Allies, in which
he describes the results obtained by himself from an
application of sulphuret of carbon, in small doses often.
repeated. Several portions of his vineyards wPre in-
fested by the phylloN era, and the diseased state of the
vine-shoots was visible as early as 1874. In the month
of October of that year these vines received a first
application oT sulphuret, and the treatment was con-
tinued throughout 1875, the vine branches continuing
to be sickly, according as the roots had been more or
less attacked by the insect. In many of these plants
the sap appeared to be completely exhausted ; never-
theless, in the course of the sear, new radicles shot
forth under the protection of the gas emanating from
the sulphuret, and the vines regained their
:-titalitY• At the present moMent, after about
\ft days' vegetation, the effects are wonder-
and the plants that bave undergone) the
treatment manifest externally what has been going on
-nderground. They have not a single phylloxera on
,eir roots or anywhere dee, while those that were
,ft to themselves last year are swarming with those
angerous guests, and present :a painful contrast with
the others. Further information on the above letter is
given by M. Marion to Mr; Milne Edvipids.
vines are planted on triasic Marl, at the top of a small
valley open to a north-west wiEd, the frequency of
which must promote the dispersion of the winged
phylloxeras considerably. Many of the neighbouring
vineyards are already quite devastated; there are a
few eastern ones that are still in a satisfactory state,
but the insect is already on their root. M. Allies'
grounds are distinguishable from the surrounding ones
by them active vegetation. All the vines received
sulphate of potash sown on the soil, but this manure
has proved utterly •Inefficacious. In short, sulphuret
of carbon appears to be the only efficacious remedy.—

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

GREAT BATTLE ON THE TIMOK.

(Reuter's Telegram.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jlly 14.

The following official report has been received
here .—The Wischgard division!stationed in Bosina,
crossed the Servian frontier yesterday, and routed
the Servian army near tie town of Kenterdeman,
which was taken and burnt.

(Standard Telegram.)
BELGRADE, July 13.

According to official reports received by the Ser-
vjan Government, there was a brisk engagement
yesterday on the Timok. General Lesjanin having
drawn Osman Pasha into attacking him, a severe
contest began which lasted for five hours, the
Turks being repulsed in their attempts to carry the
Servian position. The official report says nothing
as to the number of killed and wounded. At all
other points the fighting is limited to skirmishing
between the outposts. It seems evident that in
both camps a movement of concentration is taking
place, and that an engagement on a large scale
may shortly be expected.

Although the campaign was only opened ten
days ago, a large number of the Servian wounded
are now lying in the villages on the banks of the
Save and the Morava. lam assured they number
not less than 7,000. They are most inadequately
provided for. Bedding, lint, medical instruments,
and stores of every kind are sadly deficient. There
is an utter dearth of surgeons, and there are no
trained nurses or medical attendants. I heard
that the Turks take no prisoners and systematic-
ally refuse to give quarter. The Servians have
shown greater humanity, if it be true as stated to
me by an old British resident in Belgrade, that
several Turkish prisoners are now confined in that
city and are well treated.
ALEXANDICIA, July 13.

Three thousand five hundred soldiers have gone
to Constantinople to join the army under Osman
Pasha.

VIENNA, July 13.

The Servian losses up to this date have amoun-
ted to 5,000 killed and wounded. In the interior
there is great depression, and petitions are circu-
lating with a view to ask Prince Milan to obtain
an early armistice by means of Russian mediation.
BERLIN, Jnly 15 (Evening).

Prince Milan is said to have requested the
mediation of Rnssia, in favour of an armistice. In
diplomatic circles here there is no doubt that the
Turks will ere long become so triumphant that
Servia will be obliged to sue for peace.

(Daily News Telegrams.)
BELGrADE, July 10 (Morning).
•In the Widdin district yesterday, Leschjanin
provoked Osman Pasha to attack him, and the
engagement continued throughout the day. The
Turks retreated. General Ostrovich is operating
in the rear of Osman Pasha, and overrunning the
country. The Tuaks shelled his forces at or
point without much effect. Ostrovich extended
his operations to -the walls of the fortress of
Widdin, capturing large number of cattle and a
considerable quantity of provisions.

EXTENSION OF MINERS' HOURS.

On Monday night 0 meeting of minors' delegates was
held at the Shakespeare Inn, Newhall Street, Dudley.
The chair was taken by Mr. Levi Brittain.
_ _ _ _

Reports were received from the whole of the lodges
of the district, and these stated that. without exception,
the men were entirely opposed to any extension of the
wo king hours
It was resolved, on the motion of a delegate, that the
decision of the lodges be approved, inasmuch as the
proposal of the masters was uncalled for, and could
never be submitted to by the men.
A suggestion having been made that the masters
should be requested to adopt the principle of acquaint-
ing the colliers on the overnight when they would not be
required on the following day.
The meeting then terminated.

KIDDERMINSTER.

BURIAL BOARD.—On Monday afternoon a meeting of
the Board was held in the Chess Room at the Music
Hall, the Rev. F. Evans in the chair. The business of
the meeting was to receive tenders for erecting a chapel,
entrance lodge, and boundary wall ' • also for the laying
out of the grounds, and draining the same. A number
of tenders were received, but only two were accepted,
viz., Mr. G. Laws, for drainage and widening Park
Lane, at £1,739 and £2BO respectively; for laying out
the grounds the tender of Mr. Mees was accepted at
£5OO, including four boat loads of soil.—With reference
to the other business the meeting was adjourned for the
purpose of consulting Mr. Meredith, the architect, with
reference to the tenders, the amounts being greatly in
excess of his estimates, and he was instructed to obtain
further estimates for the same.
MI MAJORITY OF MR, CHARLES JEIFERIES.—The
coming of age of Mr. Charles Jefferies, sou of Mr.
Henry, and nephew of Councillor C. K. Jefferies
I (formerly Mayor of Kidderminster), carpet manufac-
turers and millers, was celebrated at the Clenmore
Mills on Saturday, when the whole of their workpeople
were entertained at an excellent dinner pnovided by Mr.
David Lane. Early in the morning the tiring of cannon
announced the event, and later on in the day the St.
Mary's Band made its appearance on the scene of the
festivities, and after the company had diced, dancing to
its strains PM commenced, and kept up to a late hour,
when they separated, well pleased with the day's enjoy-
ment. The marquee in which the dinner took place was
supplied by Mr. W. Coates, of Kidderminster.
COUNTY PETTY SEERIONS.—PROMOTION OF • SERGEANT

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT
PORTSMOUTH.

The Prince of Wales, aclompanied by the. Duke of
Edinburgh, paid a visit on 'Tuesday to the Pandora,
lying in Port smoul h Harbour. 'I he party, who were
received by Captain. Allen Young and his officers, all
in full yachting costume were first conducted to the
deck-how e. Then, paseingatong the starboard side of
the vessel, where the crew were drawn up, some time
was spent in inspecting the gear on deck. A visit below
followed. On leaving the Pandora, much gratified at
what they had seen, their Royal Highneses went on
board the Serapis, and were received at the grand entry.
port, on the port side, by Capt. the Hon. H. Carr
GI3 n. The Royal party was conducted across the
crimson-draped deck to the main saloon, where their
Royal Highnesses were enteztained at luncheon by the
ward-room officers, nearly all of whom were present.
Captain Glyn presided, having the Prince of Wales
and Sir Leopold M'Clintock on his right and the
Duke of Edinburgh and Sir H. Keppel on his
left. The party numbered forty, and among the
guests was Captain Allen Young, of the Pandora.
After luncheon, which occupied about an hour,
and during which the band of the Raleigh played a
selection of music, the party assembled on the upper
deck close to the deck-house, where, at the request of
the Prince of Wales, a photograph of the group was
taken. While this was going on the ship's company
were being paraded along the upper deck and on the
waist deck. All being in their places, the PrinJe of
Wales stepped forward to the break of the poop, and
addressed the men in the following terms :
"My lads, the time has now come when I have to say to
you • Farewell.' I am glad to tell you that you will have a
month's leave of absenc3. I sincerely trust ti at when you
return to your duties 3 on will not forget that you are British
seamen. but that in whatever ships you may be employed in
the future you will make it a point to study your profession.
I have experienced great satisfaction at your uniform good
behaviour during the time I have been on board, and I hope
that that good behaviour will be continued. Now, my lads,
I bid you good-bye."

His Royal Highness then shook hands with the
officers, and shortly afterwards left the ship. Now
was the time for the blue jackets to swarm into the
main rigging. They gave three rinuing cheers for the
Minces, and the c-ew of the Orontes troopship lying
astern followed their example. At the jetty was the
catriage of S:r I_Popold Welintock, which the Princes,
accompanied by Captain Glyn and Lord oharl6s Beres-
fcrd, entered, and they drove to the stal ion, returning
the salutations of those who had assembled to witness
their departure.
Stourbridge, West Midlands, England, 1876-05-27

made upon the broad guage princiPle ; and splendidly
made it war, as all who have had occasion to travel
upon it can testify. Yet this was a case in which
the truth of an old saying has not been exemplified,
Westward the course of empire did not take its
way. The narrow gauge has been steadily driving
the broad out of the field; for hundreds of miles
upon the Great Western system the lion and the lamb
now lie down side by side—the narrow gauge rail
is laid within the broad; and at length the South
Western have appeared at Plymouth, in the very
heart of what has so long been an exclusively broad
gauge district. Brunel and Stephenson did not live to
witness the termination of the long and animated
conflict; they died in the autumn of 1859, within five
weeks of each other, in the full maturity of their
Rowers. But so far as the argument is concerned that
the wider the gauge the greater the sarety, it may be
added that the exprmes to and from King's Cross are
quite as swift as those to and from Paddington; and
that in country districts railways upon a gauge of three
feet and even of two, are now found to be quite con-
sistent with safe and rapid travelling.
The House of Lords has not yet had many late alt.
tinge this session, for thus far bills have not come up
very rapidly from the Commons; and early in the Par-
liamentary year the Peers meet, ask a question or two
of a Cabinet Minister, forward a bill or two on to the
next stage in a formal way, and adjourn. The carriages
which bring the Peers down to the House wait for them
in Palace-yard and Parliament-square, and take them
away again. If it be too early for dinner, as it
frequently is, time is allowed for a drive in the
Park, or a canter through Rotten-row. Her Majesty's
faithful Commons are unable to take life quite
so easily. When they go down to the House at four
in the afternoon, it is impossible for them to form an
estimate of the time of rising, and the only thing
certain about the pericd is that it will nut be for
several hours. Horses and carriages, therefore, are
not kept waiting, and members trust to the chance of
getting a cab in Palace Yard at the time of the ad-
journment. Occasionally, however, the supply is not
equal to the demand, and on many a night the repre-
sentatives of the people may be seen making their way
home on foot frcm the Palace of Westminster.

VISIT OF BRITISH WORKMEN TO 1
BOULOGNE. 1

The Correspondent of the Daily News, telegraphing fromn
Boulogne on Monday night, says :
"Twelve hundred British worlmen, members of
friendly societies, thanks to the liberality of the South
Eastern Railway directors, came over free to-day in
four of the company's steamers, with their parapher-
nalia of scarfs, badges, and banners, and were received
by 500 representatives of French societies, who con-
ducted them in procession to the Tintelleries Gardens.
Six semi-circular tables had been previously arranged
there, with 800 bottles of wine, biscuits, &c., and a
vin d'honneur was offered to the English visitors,
lemonade being provided for the Good Templars.
An interchange of speeches took place in both
languages, full of expressions of welcome, goodwill,
and fellowship. The speeches were brought to a close
by two of the English bands marching off tie play an
aubade before the residences of Dr. Ovion, the acting
mayor, and M. Douault, President of the Sociad de
Bienfaisance, who have taken the lead in this interna-
tional demonstration. During the afternoon the
Soci4t4 Musicale gave a concert in honour of the Eng-
lish visitors in the gardens of the Etablissement. At
ten o'clock the excursionists embarked. The jetties
were illuminated with Bengal lights as the steamers
left the harbour. When the last vessel passed the
pier head two showers of rockets were let eff amidst
much cheering from hosts and guests. The Boulogne
friendly societies are to visit Folkestone on Whit
Monday."

HOME, FOREIGN, AND COLONIAL

TAKE CARE OF THE BATS. —A German paper
warns us against the extreme impolicy of destroying
bats, for in the economy.of nature bats play =import-
ant and henefizial part, as the Germans on one occasion
fend to their cost (tays the Standard). Man, for all
that he is lord of creation, has to accept and be glad of
the alliance of any power against insects, for against
them he is of himself powerless, so he cannot dispenss
with bate. Baron Nolde tells us a story of a forest in
Germany belonging to the Crown. Oak trees well
grown were required for naval purposes, and a notice
was issued that none should be felled without special
orders. Numbers of such trees arrived at maturity-and
fell to decay, and btill the notice was in force. At
length some ardent reformers called attention to the
fact, and orders came to cut down these old hollow
trees for firewood. In the depth of winter this was
done, and many thousands of hats hyhernating in the
hollows were disturbed, and, in consequence, died
miserably, The next year there were no bats to kill
the insects and these latter accordingly bred and laid
eggs which', lathe following spring, became caterpillars,
and the felling of the whole plantation was the only
possible course. Tale moral of which is—Take care of
your bate, and your trees will take care of themeelvea,

CRADLEY.

ANOTHER CHILD KILLED BY BEING Row OVER.—On
Tuesday, Mr. Miller Corbett held an inquest at Cradley
on the body of a child earned Isaac Goodall, aged four
years, who was killed by being run over by a wagon.—
Joseph Christopher, letter earlier, said on Wednesday
last, at half-past two p.m. in the neighbourhood of
Quarry Bank, near Cradley Forge, he saw a wagon
I 'aided with iron drawn by four horses come out of the
forge. It was driven by a wagoner, who was at one of
the horses' head. All at once he heard voices shouting,
and saw a child between the wheels, the hind one of
which went over him. Ile picked the child up ; it was
then alive, and he gave it to some women, and went on
with his lettirs.—Wm. Da-by said he met the wagon,
which was turning out of the way to allow his cart to
pa,s, and saw the deceased fell between the wheels.—Mr.
H. F, ilodoon, surgeon, deposed to the injuries, which
were in the abdomen, P.Nki bad caused death. —The jury
found a verdict of " Accidental death."

HOLLOWAY's OINTMENT A 241) PlLLS.—Rheumatism and
rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases. be-
cause their .victims know that they are safe at no season,
sad at no age secure. Holloway's Ointment, after fo-
mentation of the painful parts, gives greater relief than
any other applicatinn, but it must be diligently used to
obtain this desirable result. It has been highly com-
mended by rheumatic subjects of all ages and of both
sexes for rendering their attacks less frequent and rig-
orous: and for repressing the sour perspirations and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Ointment
and Pills have proved the greatest blessings in removinit
heumatisna and rheumatic gout, which had assailed per-
ons previously healthy and in the prime of life.

THE INCOME TAX.

On Tuesday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
received a deputation from the National Income Tax
League, who urged the total abolition of the income
tax. Sir Stafford Northcote 'aid that the Government
were obliged to deal with every year's finance as it is
presented to them, and it was almost impossible. for
them to lay down great plans or great principles
which were to be their guides and over-ruling
masters without reference to the demands, of that
particular year. The Government did not regard
the income tax as necessarily a permanent part
of their system of finance, but they were not in
a position to say that they saw their way at an
early period to get rid of it. It would be necessary in
any arrangement made to get rid of it to take into con-
sideration the whole system of direct taxation; and,
considering all things, it would be taking a narrow
view of the financial position of the country if they
were to reviie the system of taxation without taking
into consideration the question of local taxation. It
was of the utmost consequence, he thought, that as

had
met with more difficulty in dealing with portions

they had by no means left out of sight the mil?.
ject of the income tax. In order to keep his
hands freo in dealing with the question, h 3 asked the
deputation not to press him then to make any binding
declaration with regard to the income tax. He agreed
substantially with the view that they ought not fur-
ther to reduce taxation upon articles of consumption
until they could deal with this question. With regard
to the general expenditure, he contended that the
Government were acting upon economical principles.
When they entered upon office be hoped to have kept
the income tax at 21., and was very much (reappointed
at having to raise it to 3d.
