tcmptible city tO n stranger | ever saw IL is
built upon perfectly level plain Of mud, so that
there is no drainage, the Peiho, into which 1t
might be turned, being IL miles distant, and 50
sluggish In Its current II would not carry what
was thrown into 1t away. There are no latrines
or any receptacle for filth the public and crowd
ed streets supply all demands without regard TO
deccncy. Two or three Of these are as broad a.
Regent or Oxford street, but the majority Of
them are very narrow. In tho broad ones a
mud cartway runs up the centre with ditch Of
stagnant sinking water on either side, then
comes deep pathway, on which itinerant VEN
dors OF every thing, more particularly OF old
Clothes mended shoes, travelling " old curo-
sity shops" and the man who has "killed his
pig" and brings 1t to market, erect their stalls,
or spread their " res on the ground. Here you
may havo your dinner from u portable
cooking shop, selecting your luxuries from pup
py dogs, cats, or other suspicious looking things
which no one but Chinlmln has any name for
in the larder vocabulary. Here the barber with
his shop on his shoulder stops makes room for
himself, tiukles little bell aud soon has several
heads TO shave and tails to rcplait. Here is a
blind fellow playing full band Of Instruments,

drums, altogether with hi. arms and legs q
little further on, you came upon two or three
boys yelling forth Chinese songs like our own
folk at home, and selling little books Of them,
no doubt, at " three yards penny" The shops
on either side the street only one story high,
and amid all the mud and iilth, arc made as
gaudy as gilt and the primitive colors can make
them. They have no windows, the only light
being given by the door, which in windy weather
is closed by curtain Of mating to keep out
tho dust, which, by the way, Is very peculiar.
Outside the city 1t Is common brown mud, but
inside tho walls the ground is black like pow
dered coal, and on hot, windy days, blows about
in clouds. Tho day the treaty was signed, the
whole Of the Embassy, and those who accom-
panied Lord ELGIS to see the ceremony, were
like US many sweeps.

The Cheap Wine Remedy.

II is n favorits theory Of soms benevolent gen-
tlcmcn that drunkenness will be diminished
among US by encouraging tho sale Of cheap
wines. They regard the total abstinence move-
ment as failure, and recommend an indulgence
which they deem less dangerous than that into
which 40 many are constantly falling. Men
will nave stimulus it is said, and fcrmsnted Ii
guors are proved to be comparatively harmless.
Intcmpcrance Is not common in countries whore
wine is an ordinary drink
IL the facts were as these arguments represent,
there would be little difficulty in accepting tho
practical conclusion. But tho evidence needs
sitting. T.. G. DrLAvAs, Esq, tho veteran adj
Nocate Of abstinence, has collected and published
the testimony Of valuable witnesses against the
assumed fact that wine is so innocuous. For cx-
ample, Cardinal WISKMAS says:
Though, compared with other nations, tho
Italians cannot 10 considered a. unsObcr, and tho
lightncss Of their ordinary wines docs not no
easily produce iShtncss Of the head as heavier
potations they are fond OF tho nsterid and the

coursgcd Ivy the very sobricty Of their drinks.
There, time is lost, and evil conversation cx-
changed; there, stupid discussions are raised,
whence spring noisy brawls, tho jar Of which
kindlcI fierce passions, and sometimes deadly
hate. Occasionally, even worse cnsucs. From
the tongue sharpencd as n sword, the inward
fury flies TO the sharper steel lurking in tho vest

wound, stretched on tho threshold Of the hostel

over cups may lead.
llORArIo GREEsouGH, the Amcrici III sculptor,
wrote:

iins abstain ffOm the use OF wine several Of tho
most eminent Of the medical men are notoriOusy
