War in the East.

Itappears that the United States as wei
as Great Britain have canse of complains
against the Chinese authorizes, and the
man ofwar Portsmouth, upon the refusal
Of the authorities to make reparation,
opened fire upon the forts of the Celestials
The insoence of these Eastern barbara
and is becoming unbearable, and it is high
time they were Taught better manners
Respectful communications addressed to
the Chinese Government by both the
United States and England have been con-
temptuously returned without even being
opened. The trade of China is confined al
most exclusively to the Americans and
English, and it is right and proper if the
citizens of these nations are not treated
with common humanity that the arrogant
subjects of the ''Son Of Heaven" should
be taught good manners at the cannon's
mouth-if they cannot be taught any 9th

THE SOURCE OF THE NmE.--The las
expedition to discover the source of the
Nile, was sent by Mehcmet Ali, the en-
lghtened and energetic Viceroy Of Egypt
and occupied the years of 1871. '42 and
'43. The expedition penetrated to tho
fourth degree of north latitude. And ali
along this immense distance of more than
three thousand miles for which the Nile
has been traced, it presented the same un-
varying prospect as in upper Egypt and

On the subject of Kansas, the New York

show that it has bid adieu to Black Repub-
licanism, and is sailing on the other tack
at is a pity to see Governor King yiel-
ding to his party SO far as to recommend
moral and material aid for Kansas, as we
understand he is to do. Why on earth not
leave Kansas alone? What have we TO do
with the people Of that Territory? What
impertinence it is for us to want to dictate
to them what sort of institutions they shall
havel Let individuals go to Kansas if they
choose, and when the right time is come,
vote for or against slavery, as their humor
or opinion leads them; but the Government
of the States has no more to do with the
SUI ject than the Queen of England. 1t
might have been hoped that the Governor
of the great central State of New York
would have set the more thoughtless and
less important Governors of the other States

AVERAGE DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE
Professor Buchanap, in a recent lectute
before the Mechanic t1nstitute at Cincin-
natl. said that in the latter part of the six
teenth century, one half who were born
died under five years; the average longeyi-
ty of the whole population was but Is
years. In the seventeenth century one
half Of tho population died under 12
years. But in the first sixty years Of the
eighteenth century, one half of the popu-
lation lived 27 years. In the latter forty
years, one-half exceeded 80 years of age
At the beginning of the present century,
one-half exceeded 40 years; and from
1887 to 1845 one-half exceeded 49, The
average longevity at these successive peri
DDS has been increased from Is years in
the sixteenth century up to 43.7 by tho
last report.

The seizure of the boats of the Transit

that route, are acts of direct hostility to
the United States, while they innict little
