Is CANTON TAKEN THE reports by the Arago and
AngIoSaxon leave us in doubt upon this point. They
say that the city was bombarded and then stomed but
still the troops were restrained from entering the city
We presume that the forts and deences of Canton have
been taken, but that the city itself is still occupied by
the Chinese forces But inasmuch it is wholly COM
manded it is regarded as taken Even the capture of
Canton will goa very little way towards producing
submission on the part of the Chinese authorities
Canton is only remote point of the Empire
1t was virtually taken and ransomed at high price du
ring the opium of 84l, but no peace followed until
Pekn, the imperial capital was threatened. We rather
think that an advance into the interior will alone settle
the matter this time. The heart of China the Blue
and Yellow Rivers the main channels of their interior
trade and this heart must be struck ut before the blow
will be felt.

Bs~ The Halifax Representative asks after the Deep

But when the began to get low she began to think
about her supper and started for home passing skiu

safety with her load He put her in the stable and fed
her if nothing had happened She refused to pull at
two other times, but she received the treatment
each tme-so she found it no use, for she had to
pull the load in the end After that she became as good
beast to work as ever was hitched
