THE BANKRUPT AcT.-The Albany
Advertiser Of Monday last says
We are much gratified to see that there
is some reason for believing that tho
Bankrupt Act viii! no, be repealed after
all, and that the National Legislature
will, in this case al least, escape sell stul-
ti6caton.
The law Is no doubt susceptible OF a.
mendments. and If the movement on the
subject shall result, in some provision Tor
embracing private banking corporations
among those TO whom the involuntary
principle shall apply, we are inclined to
believe il would exert a very whole.
Some restraining influence on the ,cnden.
cy TO over action, and we should be well
con,en, to see il so done--proyided there
be proper guards against abuses in driv-
ing such corporations into liquidation, for
the SAKE of making jobs for partizans by
making them ossignees, or receivers and
managers OF the assets.

CHINESE DIPLOMACY.

One Of her Majesty's naval officers
writes TO the following effect fom Chin.
keang- foo, Bis, August, 1912:
"Three high mandarins, the empe-
ror's uncle Yung, the governor Of these
two provinces, Elepoo, and The Tartar
general, lsaphen, commander in chief
came off on the 20th attended by nu-
merous train Of mandarins Of various
classes, TO pay their respects to the plen.
ipo, admiral and general. The Cornwall
lis was appointed the place Of meeting
A steamer was in attendance on them, to
take them from The shore 10 the flagship
When they stepped from the shore TO the
steamer they were saluted with three
guns from the CORVALLIS, The number
they FIRE themselves on such occasions. -
When they came on board of the big
ship they were met at the gangway by
two naval captains and the Secretary Of
the Legation, who conducted them aft to
the poop, or rather near the poop, on the
quarterback, where the plenipo, admiral
and general stood as stiff as crutches, in
the full dress and togeery OF their Offices;
when the fokles approached near, our big.
wigs advanced couple Of steps toward
them, with majestic mien, the iokips chin
chnned, the English took off their cas-
tors aud bowed, and when both parties
were sufficiently approximoted, they
shook paws mostcordiaIy, and then re,ir-
ed to the cabin TO rest after so much la
Dor. TRe marlnfs we're dawn up on the
quarter deck us guard ofhonor, the sea-
men dispersed around the upper deck,
and the ship ives full Of naval officers, all
in their full uniforms, which gave every
thing a brilliant appearance. When they
came IN the side they had not time to re-
cover from the dazzling effect Of what
they saw, when the band struck up ''God
save the Queen, and completed their
bewlderment. They we're really aston.
ished and amazed. They were o afterwards
shown round the ship, which they admired
and wondered at much; you may fancy
people who never before saw anything
larger than one of their own iunks,
brought for the first time to see llne.of-
battle ship. They had some tjflin, a,
which Some Of the mandsrns got drunk
on cherry cordIaland brandy, and all then
left highly delighted and pleased. Our
people went few days after TO return the
visit to the Celestials. They were rece.

good earnest in this city. We took
turs amongst several ofthe establishments
last Saturday, and find there are twenty
now IN full blast, at one Of which II not
more, upwards Of 1000 Hogs have been
daily packed for more than week past.
The number packed at each house varies
from 100 10 1000 daily. Extraordinary
care appears TO be- taken this year in the
business. Large quantities Of the Hams
are cut and carved 10 the peculiar man.
ner preferred ln the Eastern markets.
The salt used appears to be better and
whittier than heretofore. The barrels af
ter being packed, are generally rolled on
clean pianks, under cover, and no. soiled
either by mud or rain. as purchasers will
have little reference to the condition OF
the outside as we'll as the interior Of q
barrel of Pork. In fine, the greatest
neatness, economy and system prevail in
the Cincinnati Pork Establishment. Tie
prices of Hogs continue at our Saturdays

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1912.

The Bankrupt Bill is the great ques-
ton now before Congress. So far, there
are no developments as TO the probable
fate Of the bill. Public opinion, how
ever, judging from the Petitions which
nov day by day swarm Congress, IS
changing as TO The policy of the Law,
and with the notifications proposed, 10
include Corporations which issue paper
money, and strike out the voluntary Prn
cple, il is possible that the law may be
continued. The debate upon the bill so
far has not been very profitable, and the
remarks of Mr.. Gushing yesterday miro
duced matters SO foreign to Bankrupt
Law, that the merits OF Bankrupt Law
are not likely to be reached again during
the session until the bill is brought TO a
vote.
OF news there is none, and the city, in
or out of Congress, was never more dull
than now. Until the present debate there
we're DO signs OF party asperi;y in the
House, and there are none very strong as
vet. A party debate, however, upon a
Bankrupt Law, is at best great waste
Of time.

CnoosING A WIFE.-Very wise phIos-
ophers have given to the world their no
tions about choosing a wife; but some Of
these same philosophers never had wives,
inasmuch as some couldn't and some
wouldn't get them. Philosophers no.
tons abou. malrimony, however, are en-
titled TO no confidence, for, being hen
pecked set, what they say is always sour
and severe. But lady lays down the
following instructions, which are worthy
of considerations. She lays it down
strong, for her words are as follows, to
wit +: clay broomstick in her way-if
she steps over it, don't lake /; if she takes
il up and carefully puts it in its place,
brush end up, take her, Hyou can gel her'"
Pretty good advice. A 6roomsfck not
unfrequently has good deal to do in mat
rimonlol life, AND the lady's behaviour in
connection herewith should not be lightly

A SMOKING ANECDoTE.--At Frank
fort, Germany lately curious circum-
stance occurred, Illustrative of the ebay
acters OF the surly English and the dull
German. Ia coffee room, an English
man was standing too close with his back
to the stove, and German kept close TO
him p fling the unsavory fumes OF his
cigar into his face. The Englishman re.
monstrated, but the quiet German kept
putting away as # he hao not heard the
Englshman's voice. At length the Eng
lsbman showed fighting disposition, and
maintained that no man had right 10
puff smoke out of his mouth into another
mans face, and that the smoking ought
to be confined 20 smoking places. The
heavy German with all the slowness and
gravity of his nation, coldly replied. in
the worst Of Englsh--" Va, va, Sir Jone
Bull, what right have you to complain to
make Of de slinks Of my smoke, when
your own coat have bin burnt, and make

great discontinue, found that his coat or
rather cloak, was shrivelled and burnt up
