new work on China, says:
"The only taste which the Chinese exhib-

That sentiment Of harmony, which throbbed
like musical rhythm through The lie OF
the Greeks, never looked out Of their OBJ
lique eyes. Their music is a dreadful dis
cord; their language 10 composed OF nasals
and copsonants; they admire whatever Is
distorted or unnatural. and the wider its d.
vergence from its original be auty or sy mme-
try, the greater is their delight
This mental idiosyncrasy includes NOR
al one, OF a similar character. il is my de-
lberate opinion that the Chinese are. NOR.
ally, the most debased people on the face Of
the earth. Forms of vice which in other
countries are barely named, are in China
so common, that they excite no comment
among the natives. They constitute the
surface-levei, and below them there are
deeps on deeps of deprayity 80 shocking and
horrible, that their character cannot even
be limited. There are some dark shadows
in human nature, which we naturally shrink
from pene rating, and made no attempt to

almost daily to the notice of every foreign
resident-to inspire me with powerful
aversion to the Chinese race. Their touch
is pollution, and, harsh as the opinion may
seem. justice to our own race demands that
they should not be allowed TO settle on our
soil. Science may have los, something, but
mankind has gsined by the exclusive policy
which has governed China during the past
centuries"

Of one Of the elephants, we believe, belong.

ing too unwcll to go upon her usual sum
mer tour, it was let at home we believe,
TO recuperate for a season. The result is
this addition TO the elephantine domestic
circle.
These bady-eiephants are very interest
ing objects. They are perfectly formed
throughout and differ from their parents on
ly in size-but that difference is so amaz-
ing, that it becomes ludierous; and when you
see the baby walking to and fro under its
mother, you cannot resist the impulse TO
laugh at the oddly of the comparison. And
then the bulky mothers care OF her baby is
so human-like and affec,ionate. Give the
baby an apple, for instance. The mother
elephant first takes il in her trunk, exam

HORRIBLE SACRIFICE OF LIFE ON THE
WESTERN Waters IN FoRrY-FouR YEARS.
From Lloyd's forthcoming Steamboat
Directory we learn that since the applica-
ton Of steam on the Western waters there
have been thirty nine thousand six hundred
and seventy-two lives lost BY steamboat
disasters, three hundred and eighty.one
boats and cargoes lost, and seventy boats
seriously injured, amounting in the aggre-
gate to the enormous sum OF sixty-seven
millions Of dollars. II is to be hoped that
this forthc' ming work will have the effect
Of arresting the attention of the Govern
ment to the Importance Of Western inter-
ests, so far as our great rivers and lakes are
concerned.
