CHINA.-With respect to Chinese af-
fairs, the correspondent of the London
Times says that, in Paris, it is pretty
confidently affirmed that war is not so in
evitable as it has been thought to be-
1t is said that the expedition will be sent
out, but not for the immediate and un-
conditional commencement of hostilities !;
that it will have the Ambassadors with it,
and that, should these be received, and
proper and ample satisfaction given for
the Peiho affair, conflict may be avoid
ed. M. de Bourboulon's recall is said to
be beyond doubt, and it is reported that
he will be replaced in his mission by a
military man.

"Don Carlos Henderson, the sage and
venerable Editor of the Allegan Journal,

lesson on political wisdom AMI propriety.
1t is profitable and refreshing to receive
reproof, and instruction in professional du-
ties, from one whose age, Editorial expe-
rience, maiden modesty and child-like
simplicity withal, so eminently qualify
him for teacher. We yearn for the

ton of Noah's Ark unless he prove it by

More than ever is the book n necessary ar
tice in the ool-house, and in the family where
learning and literature have q place.
We had the curiosity to examine with magni-
fer some of these engravings, and compared
them with steel engravings in bank notes, and
found the illustrations often equally good, some
times superior. None but n teacher, or an intel
hgent parent, can estimate how valuable these
eighty pages Of Illustrations are. The placing
all the illustrations in n separate part of the
volume has allowed the printing of them 10 be
executed in much better style than if they had
been incorporated in the text-Hlinois Teacher,

THE PRESIDENTS LIBEL SUIT.-A dis
patch from Washington states that the
President authorizes the emphatic denial
of the truth of the dispatch from Phila-
delphia, which stated that Col. Forney
has received notification from him of
his intention to institute prosecution for
libel on account of the article in the Press
Of Monday last in relation to the death
of Senator Broderick. The report was
circulated by one of those lying Wash
ington newsmongers, who sacrifice every
thing in desire to create sensation.

PEACH TRADE.-Peaches are "played

single one can be found in the Market
During the season the most of our supply
came from st. Joseph, Mich. II is est.
mated that 100000 baskets have been
shipped from there this season. They
sold at st. Joseph for from 80 cents to
$500 a bushel, ranging all along between.
The trade must have been worth at least
100000 TO that place.

of the Express Office in this city, in place
of I. H. Lyon, sen. Mr.. A. has been

A STRONG REsEMBLANoE.-Now that
Daniel Webster is dead and out of the
way, the abolitionists and black republi-
cans in and around Boston are venting
their spleen upon him, who were always
sure to keep out of his way when he was
alive. They are demanding that his stat
ue shall be removed, and petition to
that effect is now being circulated, and
Wendell Phillips in late address said
that the man who would strike the head
from the statue would do a great service.
The whole proceeding reminds one very
much of the fable of the lion who was
sick, and the ass that went and kicked
up his heels in his face.

WHEAr.-A small advance in the price
paid for wheat, in our market, has been
made within a day or two past. A good
article now brings one dollar per bushel.
For the benefit of all parties-producers
and consumers-we would be glad to see
this staple grain remain at its present
price, year in and year out. 1t would
then pay the farmer well for raising it,
and would still be within the reach of the
poor. Whenever wheat varies, material
ly, from this figure, either going above
or falling below it, it is pretty good in
dication that something's wrong some
where, and that sort of panic may be
expected as the result.
