ABSENCE OF M1Np.--We have iiis, .,

ABSENCE OF MIND:--We have Just got
our finger upon an old case of absence of
mind, that is infinitely better than any
thing modern we have ever seen. In some
respects, La Fontaine was not unlike
Oliver Goldsmith; both we're forgetfuI,
generous, unaffected. The French poet
almost forgot he had wife: and when
his friends told him it was a shame to abb
sent himself from her, promised to call
and see her. The servant not knowing
him, said she was gone 10 church; upon
which he returned to PARIS in the COM
Pany of his friends. Being one day at
house, his son came in; but not having
seen him for some time, he did not re-
cOgnize him, but remarked TO some of
the company that he thought him a very
promising lad. He was told that this
promising lad was his own son.
"Aha!" exclaimed the poet, "upon my
soul, I'm glad to hear it,"

Important from ChinG.-By the arri-
val Of the Steamer BrilanIa, at Boston,
the important and unexpected informa.
zion is received, that China had submit.
ted to the British Arms, and agreed TO
Treaty dictated by the Conqueror!-
These terms are--the payment of FL
millions Of dollars 10 the British TO de-
fray the expenses OF the War-lree in
tercourse upon just terms with all the
principal ports Of China-the cession to
England the Island Of Hong Kong to the
unconditoGal release Of all British sub.
jects-full and entire amnesty to all
Chinese subjects, brought under sus2i-
Cion-perlect equality In The correspon'
dence and intercourse oil officers Of both
Governments-and the occupation of the
two islands Of Cbusan and KoIangsoo un-
I'll the indemnity be paid or secured,-
The Chinese were compelled to submit
10 these most humiliatng conditions by
continued disasters to their efforts, and
TO save the city of Nankin which the
British were about 10 batter down.
The British arms appear to have been
equally successful in India of late, and
very important triumphs are announced
there. In Affghanstan the British troops
had taken Ghuznee and CabuI, routed
Akbar Khan, and the British flag now
waves over the citadel.
By the subjection of the Chinese their
ridiculous pretensions 10 superiority are
exploded, and their territories opened to
ingress in every quarter.
The English papers are almost literal
ly filled with the official and unofficial
details of the military operations in
China and India, and Of the rejoicings
in England, in consequence Of the i'm
porlant results of these operations.
The release of the female prisoners in
AffghanistaD, is one Of the most interest
ing features 10 these important transac
tions.

warmth upon his subject, as may be seen
from the following passages:-
We are nation of erpaGriGted foreign.

bounty, under the great Charter of NaS
ture. Hail, then, to the Alien! Wei.
come to the Alien! Honor TO the Alien

zen, who can renounce his birthplace for
Heavens Charter; and choose his abode
where freedom, the presiding kgenius of
happiness, has erected her banner, as a
protection to life, property and con.
science. -
The classes of emigrants who peOplGd
originally this proud continent, were the
same who still continue to fill the spaces

FrSt.-Pilgrims, or dissentels, who
suffered persecution for the sake of con-

PROTECTION AND PRICES.

The Journal Of Commerce admits thai
Protection does not in all cases increase
the price Of the Protected article TO the
extent of the duty. Where the article is
produced at home, and no longer imported
the price may not be advanced al all
But, says the Journal:
"When the article continues 10 Be i'm,
ported IN spite Of the duty, the price is
enhanced 10 the FIJI extent Of the duty"
Here is broad rule laid down not an
exception limited. We join issue on this
statement; we say there is not merchant
in this City who cannot retute il by album
dant, incontroyertible facts. Take the We.
~ cases picked out TO support lis theory
by the Journal we have repeatedly urged
1t TO show that Brass Kettles, Linseed Oil,
and Loaf Sugar have been increased in
price TO the American consumer TO the ex-
tent of the increased duties upon them, but
it stands mute--lt knows better than 10
make the attempt.
But while the Journal dare not attempt
TO substanstlate lis assumption, we can We.
ry easily reiute it. We have before us a
Circular from leading English Iron house
to its correspondents IN this Country, dated
Oct 20, 1912, and issued upon the news OF
the passage OF our present Tariff. This
Circular proiiers 10 the former customers
of the house here a reduction in thu price
of their goods fully oqudl 10 The increase Of
the dufy--ihat is, the duty being raised
from % TO 30 per cent. the English manu-
lecturers offered 10 reduce the prices OF
their wares so as TO make them as cheap
as ever 10 the American purchaser. And
they sent along bill Of prices on two or
three hundred articles (their whole assert
ment) which plainly showed that, while
our Government would receive nearly sew.
en- dollars more on every hundred dollars
worth imported, the purchaser would still
receive moro goods, duty paid, than be-
fore. This Circular We will show TO who.
ever desires il.
Again: Bleaching Powder, or Chloride
Of Lime, had always been free Of duty up
10 the passage Of the present Tariff, BY
which IT was taxed one cent a pound
The same importers 1ho before imported
and sold heartily al SIX and half cents a
pound, are nop paying The duty and selling
The same article freely al FIVE and a halt
cents per pound. The reason for this is
the activity and stability given 10 the Home
production by the new Tariff.
We might multiply these facts indefin.
itely but to what purpose The Journal
would disregard them, and re.asscrt It's
exploded ictions dozen times within the
year.-Netp York Tribune.
