PARTY LGNEs.-The Buffalo CONNER
cial holds "the following talk
But although of little real Importance to
the Wings, the detection of Mr.. Greedy. is
a significant occurrence in the present con
dition of affairs in both the great political
parties of the nation. The old party lines
have beengradually growing more and more
indistinct, until they are almost entirely OBJ
liberated. We need not now pause to in
quire why this is so; it is sufficient that the
fact is undenable. Men no longer feel dis
posed to be bound, as once they were bound,
by party nominations, simply as such; but
will pause to enquire whether the candi-
dates presented to them by convention
are deserving their support, and competent
to discharge the duties assigned to them
in an efficient manner This feeling has
been brought about principally by the reck-
lessncss of tactlonists, who having attained
positions of influence and power, have used
them for their own personal ends, and have
forced upon their party, men selected from
the ranks, not for their integrity and ability,
but for their devotion to the fortunes of the
intriguers, by whose efforts thcyare advan-
ctd to offices ofemolument and honor.

China,

We take the following extracts
from an authentic work, published by
Mr.. Williams, who, from a long res
idence in China, has been enabled to
write knowingly upon the various
subjects embraced in his work:
ANIMALS OF CnISA.--The dense
ness of the population has long since
entirely driven out all wild qualru-
peds; and there are also few domestic
ones such as are f1unl in eastern coun-
tries. Beasts Of burdenare in a great de-
gree superseded by tine means OF trans
port afforded by the numerous rivers
and canals, and by the coolies or por-
tiers. class Of athletic men, who take
the place Of animals in carrying bur-
dens and in dragging boats. An
imals are excluded, to leave more
food for men. There are no mead.
ows for feeding cattle, but the entire
soil is used in raising feed for the in.
habitants. Wild cats are sometimes
caught, and are considered great
dainty. Monkeys are found in the
south wset provinces.
What few horses and asses are
found in China are small, AMI very
inferior in every respect. The buff
talo is som times used in ploughing.
Dromedaries are nsed between Pckin
and Tartarv. TIL re are also hogs,
goats, and sheep. There is but one
variety OF dogs in the country. an
animal about one foot high and two
long, resembling a small spaniel
Rats are very abundant, and furnish
tn, common people with meat.
They are very large, AMI destructive
to crops.
OF the birds of China, there are the
eagle, the falcon, the magpie, crows,
sparrows, cormorants, curlews. quails,
pigeons, larks, pheasants, the rice
birds, an many species Of aquatic
birds. Cormorants are used by the
Chinese for catching fish. The fall
con is imperial property, and the
magpie is sacred to the reigning
family.
Fish form very important part
of the food of the Chinese, and
great care is taken in raising them
in artificial fish ponds. The gold
and silver fishes are kept in glass
globes as ornaments. Among the
fish eaten, are the cod. sturgeon,
mullet, carp, perch, sea-bream, &c;
crab-fish AMI oysters are common
on the coast.
The larger species Of the reptiles
are unknown in China. Frogs, liz
ards, and fresh-water tortoises are
common. Venomous serpents are
very rare.

Carson League.

The CARSON LEAGUE, as it is Gale,
has been found efficient in bro ak IN.
up the unlicensed rum traffic in West
crn New York, SO that without thu
"Maine Law" it is emptying theil
,jails, and in great measure putting
an end to the blight occasioncd by
some. The league combines the
money, the political and legal pow
er, against the rum power. It is
proved, says Mr.. Carson, by incon.
testible statistics, that on every fifty
cents OF tax income, thirty-five cents
goes to support the results OF rum
selling.
The rum power has the assessors
and collectors, and compels the pay
ment of the taxes. Now the statute
law of that State prescribes that at
least $25 can be collected for every
glass Of liquor sold. Another law
also makes it a misdcmeanor to sell
liquor, and any citizen can, by going
before Justice of the Peace, get a
warrant issued for the individual.
guilty OF the offence. and the Grand
jury can indict, and Judge fine
him in the sum Of $3.50 and i'm
prison him likewise.
The league proposes to assess the
property OF each town, and take the
IS cents out Of every so, to suppress
the Rum traffic. In Penn Yam.
where there were torty-six illegal
rum sellers, by this process of volun-
tary taxation sum of $500 was
raised. The directors of the league
hired man whose sole business it
was to prosecute unlicensed rum sell
ers. The drunkarJ's wife and chill
dren were notified that if the hus-
band or father got drunk, the infor-
nation as to who sold the liquor, could
be left with the agent ofthe league
IN short time throughout Yates coun-
ty every unlicensed grog shop was clos
ed. In some counties it is certified
that by this process jails have ceased to
be occupied except by rumsellers; and
ifthe people of New York City, said
Mr.. Carson, at the Worlds Con-
vention, are willing to pay small
tax on their property, they can COM
pletely break up the unlawful traffic
in 60 days. Near0rh Adr.

A Singular Case.

rather singular case OF incapacity has
lately been brought to the attention OF the
Grammar School committee. BY law Of
the public schools, all the pupils are requir-
ed to engage in each and every study of the
school. In one of our schools is young
miss belonging to most respectable family,
andin every respect bright, intelligent, and
most active and energetic girl, who is wholly
unable to learn arithmetic. Her present
master has for three years been constant in
his cndeavors to instruct her in the science
OF figures, but all to no purpose, and she
now is unable, without hesitancy, to add
seven and four together, while multiplied
ton and division are entirely beyond her
power. She seems to be wholly devoid of
mathematical powers, having not even any
talent to be cultivated.
In view of these facts, the school COM
mttee has decided to permit this pupil to
refrain from studying this branch, she being
allowed to be promoted after having been
kept down for months ON account of her
arithmetical knowledge. The case is one
which has never been brought to the atten-
ton OF the committee. The course adopted
with regard to the matter seems, however,
the most eXpedent
We have case in mind where family
of four boys attended one of our grammar
schools, and all were unable to learn to
spell. The greatest pains were taken with
them, and no trouble spared to instruct
them in the art; and yet after course of
study Of six years duration one of the boys
could not even spell his name correctly
And yet in every other branch the boys were
most excellent scholars, and would have re-
ceived medals but for their spelling. -Bos-

EIGHTY MILES AN HoUR.-The Pennsyl-

speed of 81 miles an hour. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad have l4l locomo-

This immense velocity has been attained by
the active competition OF the railroad COM

warding constructors for costly experiments.
