We have no Magazine reading like Black
wood, nor any Reviews to match the British
republications. They keep us posted up in
the worlds literature and great political
movements as regarded in their philosophi-
cal aspects. We need such eIponents OF the
thought Of the age. Each of these great Re
views sheds a light and cooring of it's own
over the subjects of which it treats, and each
maintains it's own side of some world .mOoted
question. The reading they furnish is in.
struotive beyond the books of the time, for we
drink 10 them of the spirit of letters. They
have gone throughout the length and breadth
OF our land, and visit every Greslde where
the arts and literature are cherished. The
fsshy prints Of the day may afford an hours
amusement, but the Quarterlies and Black,
wood are conned more carefully during leIs-
ure, and laid away for the preservation Of
their rich contents.
BlackwOod needs no "llustrstiOn" to re
commend its stores Of erudite and popular
writing. ltJ circulation, even 10 this clun-
try, has not been diminished by preteDtous
rivalry. By the enterprise Of the American
publisher, we obtain the numbers almost as
soon as they are issued abroad, and at rate
sstonishIngly cheap.

THE CHINESE PASSION FOR OPIU

THE CHINESE PASSION FOR OPIUM
Yet there never was found, in any age
or in any cline. tribe q race, or na.
tion, which had not some stmulaat in which
they hahitually INDUCED. Mrs. Chinaman
takes her mundungus; her husband varies
the same pleasure with an occasional drink
of beer, OF whiskey, gin, or British brandy.
for they are all recognized means of in
tox;cation, and British manufactures. But
he steadfastly refuses Que rOutez conS'
esl tdH CONNIE celia. A CbiusmaD loves OPP
um as be loves nothing else. The head OF
a Psrsee house at Hong Kong was 50 civil
lis to take me tito bis warehouse and TO
open two chests of opium, that might see
the drug as it passes in commerce The
first consisted Of balls. the size Of large
apple dumpling. and when cut open the
mass was found to be solid; the other was
full Of objects which commander in the
navy not long since ordered bis men to re
turn to the owners OF captured junk
"Arn't you ashamed, my lads, TO loot lot
OF miserable Dutch cheeses," The Dutch
cheeses" were fine Patna opium worth about
IS eact. They are globes of thick dark
jelly enclosed in crust, not unlike the rInd
of cheese. My Parsee acquaintance tap
ped one with fragment of an iron fasteu-
ing Of chest, and drew forth about u
spoonful Of the evil-snelling drug. 1t was
not the opium which engaged my attention;
it WAS the effect produced by it upon the
surrounding coolies. | never before saw
real excitement in Chinamau's face. I've
seen them tried for their lives and Condemn
ed to death, and I've seen them test the

gentleman is daily engaged in laborous
endeavors to extract truth out Of collecting

friend, tradesman ofreputed wealth among
a crowd of prisoners in the dock. But these
coolies, when they saw that opium, opened
their horizontal, slit shaped eyes, till they
grew round and starting, their limbs, so
lax and limpid when not 10 actual straint
of labor, were stiff from excitement, ey-
cry head was pressed forward. every hand
seemed ready to clutch. There WAS o pos
sibility that it would be put down upon
the window sill near which We were
standing | could see the shadow of fingers
ready to slide in. 1t was almost certain
that it would be thrown sside-there was
the grand hope Of an opium debauch gratis,
and this was the state Of mind that hope
created. The Chinese governments have long
ceased to strive against this passion for opium.
| doubt whether they really did ever strive
against it. At one time, when the balance
Of the trade was against China, the opium
was drawing the Sycee silver out Of the couu
try, and Lin thought it absolutely necessary
as matter Of State policy to stop the traffic.
A Chinese official is the Joseph Surface OF
diplomacy; be bis deeds good or evil they are
certain to be concealed under mass of fine
sentiments
