China.

The following extract from DR.. Gutz-
lafrs work exhibits the Chinese in some
what new light Thousands are emigra-
ting to other countries. California is
thronged with them, and they are, in gen
eral, peaceful and industrious people.
Foreigners, who know nothing about
the internal state of the country, are apt
to imagine that there reigns everlasting
peace. Nothing is, however, more erro-
neous; instructions of villages, cities, and
districts are of frequent occurrence. The
refractory spirit of the people, the oppres-
sion and embezzlement Of the mandarins,
and other causes, such as dearth and dem
agogues, frequently cause an unexpected
revolt.
"In these cases the destruction Of prop
erty and hostility against the rulers of
the land, ESPECIALLY if these have been ty-
rants, is often carried to great excess; there
are instances Of the infuriated mob broil-
ing their magistrates over slow fire
On the other hand, the cruelty of Govern
ment, when victorious, knows no bounds;
the treatment of political prisoners is
really so shocking as to be incredible.
if one had not been an eyewitness of
these inhuman deeds.
Gone of the most common evils is star
vation. The population is very dense
the means Of subsistence are, in ordinary
times, frequently not above the demand;
and it is, therefore, nothing extraordina-
ry to witness, on the least failure of the
crop, utter wretchedness and misery
To provide for all the hungry mouths is
impossible and the cruel policy of the
mandarins carries their Indifference SO
far as to affirm that hunger is requisite to
thin the dense masses of the people.
Whenever such a judgment has come
upon the land, and the people are in want
of the necessaries of life, dreadful disor-
ders soon arise, and the most powerful
Government would not be able to put
down the rising and robberies which are
committed on the strength Of this prevail
ing misery There seems to be a total
change in the peaceful nature of the in
habitants, and many patient laborer
turns fercely upon his rich neighbor, like
a wolf or tiger, to devour his substance
No one can have an idea of the anarchy
which on such occasions ensues, and the
utter Generalization of the people
"Yet, as soon as relief is afforded, and
a rich harvest promises fair, the spirit of
order again prevails, and outrages are
put stop to. The people then combine,
arm themselves, and proceed in thousands
to catch marauders like wild beasts. No
mercy is shown on such occasions, and
mandarins, on account of their weakness,
cannot interfere. Scenes of this descrip-
tion very often occurred, without giving
rise to severe reflection on the character
Of 'Tabukwang's administration

oh laborer! bending DER thy toll,
With earnest heart and mostened brow,
Thy work is holy; life 5 turmoil
is full of meaning, even now.
Grieve not that It's thy fate to earn
BY labor hard thy daily bread;
Nh, when will man the lesson learn,
On natures every page outspread,
That all must labor. ali must how
To Heavens stern, We; wise decree,
And earn each JOY with moistencd brow,
For idlencss is misery.
Say, is The rich man happy, vino,
Though gratifying every sense,
To natures hoiest law untrue,
Spends all his life in indolonce?
Go, gaze upon his care worn face,
And catch his eye, so cold and dim;
Each discontented feature trace,
And tell me if You envy him!
No! no! they only can be blest
Who patiently, while here they stay,
Fulfilling Heavens high behest,
Toll patiently from day to day.
Then labor on, thou child of toll!
Work with thy hands--thy head--thy heart
Mans glorious destiny fulfill,
Its purest zest to life impart.
And when each evening hour shall come,
Oh! with what unalloyed delight
Mayest thou enjoy thy peaceful home,
And soundIy sleep the livelong night.
Yes, honest labor gives to rest
What neither wealth nor power can give
The conscience pure, the quiet breast,
Tired natures best restorative.
All hail to him who understands
And does the work be finds to DO;
But woe to those who fold their hands
To God aud to themselves untrue!

In the Journal 0f PSychOlQglcaL ItleCll-
cine there is an extremely interesting pa
per on "Homicidal Monomania, in which
we find another example to be added to
the long list Of those who like the Cenci
and the Borgia, were at once diabolical
and devout. The notori Gus Burke, who
was hanged for murder in Scotland, which
he committed for the purpose of selling
the rem aims Of his unfornate victims to the
anatomical schools, was very partial and
kind to children. He preached religious
sermons, and the whole series Of his mur-
ders was suggested by his confederate,
Hare, reading aloud one winter evening
the death of Benhadad by Hazael, in the
Second Book of Kings. The writer adds
in a note: "This is very curious fact
The diabolical suggestion arose from
Hare reading the account given (verse Is,
chap. viii.) of the death of Benhadad,
who was thus killed by Hazael: "And it
came to pass on the morrow, that he took
a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and
spread it on his face, SO that he died. p
Burke and Hare adopted the same plan.
They made their victims drunk, and then
covered the mouth and nostrils with wet
cloths. Sometimes, by knecling on the
epigastrium, they forced deep expira-
ton, which emptied the lungs, and the
wet cloths prevented the re-admissionn of
the air. This murderous method was so
physiologically scientific, that it was sus-
pected to have been suggested by some
anatomist. This was not true; the above
statement came out in evidence"

respecting the use OF vegetable stand which was

employer, M. Blain. He hired it from shop
keeper for So year. Hulihan pushed aside Mar.

LORD DUNDONALD AND THE FIsHE>
RY QUESTION.

we call attention to the letter of this dis,n.
guished parsonage, which will be found in an.
other column. 1t looks more pacific than ,pv
thins we have yet seen. Itexpans, we have
no doubt, with perfect justice, the cause of the
decline OF the British fishing interest. Ii is
not because the Americans intrude upon tbei,
bays, creeks, rivers inlets, etc., but because
the British fishermen are not sufficiently nro.
tected by their government.
Lord Dundona!d has had long experience in
the waters of America. AS Sir Alexander
Cochrane, he commahdeda British fleet on The
American coast. during our last war with Eng
land. Suspended from the British NAVY on
account OF certain stock-jobbing operations
imputed 10 him, he afterwards served the pa
tnots in South America for many years. Upon
his restoration, he again assumed the CON-
mand of British squadron in the gulf of New
foundland. He is, moreover, a man of very
great abilities-Alison says he had more nau-
teal talent than Nelson-and is therefore we'll
aware OF what he is talking about. There can
be no doubt that SO great seaman and so able
man, could not have been placed in such a
situation as he occupied for long time, with
out studying, profoundly, the causes which
have led 10 the decay of the English Fisheries.
Ii his view be right, the Colonial leeisla.
lures are completely re -enacting the dog in the
manger. They catch, comparatively, no fish
themselves, and they wish nobody else to catch
any.

Singular Fact piA regard to the Great

One of those phenomena which have never
been accounted for, is alluded to in the follow

tervals. There is something truly remarkable
in these "ups and downs" of river and lake.
The small lakes also in Michigan and niiana,
rise and fall in a similar manner, which sug-
eests the idea that all these beautiful sheets
have subterraneous communication with Lake
Michigan. "CIear Lake. near which the vii.
lage OF La Porte is situated, has risen, within a
few weeks past to such height that il has sub
merged the plank road between Michigan CITY

hardly possible by those who know the relative
