ROMAN CATHOLIC MISSION m
CHINA

- L.
Some important statistics have re-
been furnished on the subject Of
the meaus adopted for tho advancement
Of Catholicism in China. The whole Of
China has been divided into twenty-four
Catholic missions, directed by nineteen
bishops and ave projects apostolic Of
different nationalities, viz: Italian,
French, Spanish and Belgian. Each
bishop has under him not less than five
European missionaries, and some OF
them have upwards of twenty. Each
mission is divided into districts, with a
European missionary at its head. The
number of Christians varies in each
mission from 1000, which is the lowest
number, up to 10000. In each mission
q colleges for natives has been estab-
lished, where they are taught Latin,
philosophy and theology. There are
schools and orphan asylums in every
mission. The most important is the
college kept blythe Germans and Italians
at Si-ka.wi, distant from Shaughae
three or four miles. There are nearly
three hundred pupils who are taught
trades, painting, drawing and Chinese
literature, and several of them are sent
up to Pskin to take the degrees. Print
ing Offices, directed by the missionaries,
have also been established at several Of
the missions. The printing Office at
Shanghai has issued many important
publications.
Several works have been composed
and printed in Chinese, among which
are tho Gospels, with explanatory notes;
works on mathematics, theological
books, which, as far as regards the id.
IONS, arc kept as classics by tho Chi
nese. Several parts Of the Bible have
been translated into Chinese, but always
with explanatory notes, to adapt them
to the uativss' mental capacity, with a
dictionary in Latin and Mandarin. A
new dictionary has been printed in Paris
in Chinese and French by a French mis-
sionary. Different maps of China are
printed at Naples, in Italy, under the
direction OF the missionaries, in the
Chinese College and a map Of the See
non district, near Hongkong, has been
printed at Leipsic, having been drawn
by an Italian missionary. The Sisters
Of Charity have eight establishments,
situated as follows: One in Canton,
where they direct an asylum for found
lings and orphans two in Hongkoug,
with an asylum for fouudlings, day aud
boarding school, and an ~orphanage ;
one in Ningpo, with an orphanage one
in Shaughae, where they direct a hos
pital ; one out Of %Shanghae, in the coun-
try, with an o~rphanago; n in Tient-
sin, where they have m orpanags,
schools and hospital; n in Pekin,
with hospital and o~rphanago. Two
more arc going to be opened this year,
ono in Hangkow, a branch of Italian
Sisters in Hougkong, and one in Han
chow, a branch from Pekin.

HAVING hold "the highest Office in
the gift Of the people," Mr.. johnson does
not propose to retire into private life
and rest upon his honors if he can help
it. Tho great principle Of his life is,
that there is no human happiness out of
ONCE, and 30 ho is making arrangements
now to break the force Of his fall from
the White House on the fourth of
March, by tumbling into the gubernato-
rial chair Of the State Of Tennessee upon
a Democ ratio nomination. This is the
regular order Of descent. Tailormau,
Alderman, Governor, President then,
Governor, Alderman, Tailorman. When
he is kicked out Of the gubernatorial Of
fce-if no ever gets in-his fsllow.eiti-
zens cannot do less than make him q
justice Of the peace ; at the expiration
of his term those Gresnvillains who af-
feet coats Of the claw-hammer pattern,
will, of course, install him town tailor
again. Having swung completely
around the circle, nothing will remain
but to continue his senatorial labors
until no reaches the cold and silent
grave. When his thread OF life is cut
by the shears Of Atropos, his fellow
townsmen can comfort themselves with
the reflection, that this departed shipper
Of shreds and patches did not live in
vain. As n Of the "awful examples"
of history, his life, and the contemplate
obscurity Of its close, will serve as a
warning for all time to come to small
men who permit their ambition to run
away with their honesty, and claim tho
right to defy the wishes add opinions Of
their fellow-men.

MARYLAND is often spoken Of as a
State in which the Republicans are in q
hopeless minority. But the late cleo
ton shows that Notwithstanding the
national and State administrations have
done all they could to strengthen the
Democracy, and Notwithstanding they
have been aided BY the votes Of thou
sands Of returned rebels, who were alb
sent in 1864, whom the State voted for
Lincoln, there 10 q healthy growth Of
Republication in Maryland. This
growth 10 best shown BY comparison
Of the. late election with that Of 1867 for
Governor lss7-Demoeratic vote, Co.
694 Republican, 22,o5O. ls6s-Dem-
~ocratie, 62,437; Republican, $1,000.
Democratic majority in 1861, 1854 in
1868, 3l,s47. This shows that in one
year the Democratic vote has fallen of
1887, while the Republican vote has
increased s,54o. If anything like this
ratio Of progress can DO kept up, Mary
land will, in . few years, be added to
the list Of Republican States.

A Southern Paper en- Grant. Election

A Seuthern Paper on Grants Election.
The Mobile Tribune contains the fol-
lowing graceful remarks upon the cleo
ton Of General Grant:
The majority of the Northern people
have voted themselves slaves ; and were
it not for the fact that the noble minor
ity who have combstted in the cause Of
freedom through goo0 and bad fortune /;
in foul weather and in fair ; rising after
every disaster that has befallcn them
with hearts undaunted and hopes unex-
tinguished-were it not for tho ever to
be honored "Copperhead" minority at
the North whose liberties ARE sacrificed
with those Of tho british and scottish
majority, we would regard the course
pursued by The latter with unmingled
satisfaction.
Impelled by n spirit that would dis
grace q pack of wolves, they came howl
ing Union |" through the Southern
land, while they burned dwellings, stole
property, insulted women, robbed
churches and broke into collins. Now
like a pack of wolves they show them
selves incapable Of self.government.
May they speedily find a King S;ork to
pull their bowels out with his long bill;
to swallow them without greasing their
heads.
We'll, the child is born and his name
10 Ulysses. May his entire head become
q bleeding wart il he fails to grind his
heel into the very hearts Of the rufians
who have elected him.
The Southern people hayo really had
little moro interest in the late contest
thar they had in that between Disrasli
and John Bright. at is none Of our
funeral" Here in Alabama we have
proved ourselves the power in the State,
and we ought to be fully satisfied with
that. And tho power that we possess
va will not surrender to less than fifty
thousand bayonets. Fifty thousand
troops here would be worth nearly as
much to the State as any other sort Of
immigrants. But the troops must be
white. There are not enough negroes
in America to hold Alabama should she
take . notion to shake herself.
Taking the result all in all, we feel q
great deal better pleased now than We
did in October. The result then dashed
to the earth what hopes we had in the
election Of Seymour and Blair, and
gave US no assurance Of securing Ala
bama. Now VIC are certain Of the State,
and to tell the truth, with the State Sc
cured, we need not trouble ourselves
about the condition Of politics in the
North, in England or in Franco.
To US they are all equally foreign
countries. -. rs
Now, We have not the least doubt
that il the rebels Of Alabama need an-
other thrashiug, General Grant will be
tho man to engineer the job-and he
can get plenty Of white men to do it.
The buster about Alabama "shsking
herself p'-why, the people heard of
tha, befors-but her shaking herself
amounts to but little more than a tenn
porary stink. No one fear, Alabama.
Shaking herself! A joke.

TIE recent earthquakes in South
America and Cslifornia were not accom-
panied with volcanic eruptions. This
fact has given rise to tho surmiss that
those countries may expect a recurrence
Of these shocks. Heretofore, IN cosu-
tries where volcanoes are to be found,
tho earthquake preeedes tho eruption,
and as soon a. the subterranean COM
motions are relieved through the era
tiers, the shocks cease. The volcanoes
appear to be escape pipes, and when
these vents are choked, the internal
forces endeavor to break out in other
spots.

WHITE PINE DISTINCT.
GEOLOGICAL roRAArbA

AS yet, it is impossible tolkive n clear
and reliable diagnosis-ifJwe may be
permitted the exprcssion-of tho geo.
logical formation Of this wonderful dis
trict. No shaft has been sunk mor
than sixty feet .perpendicularly into the
hill, and nowhere has the horizontal
drifting extended more thnn 100 feet ;
so that the geological formation can
only be judged from tho superficial indi-
cations and ~outcroppings. The entire
country east of Austin (where the conn
try rock is granite) shows the effects of
remote volcanic disturbances, and
abounds in igneous rock and lava. The
formation of the White Pine District Is
an anomaly, and it sets ut defiance nil
known laws and rules Of geology. To
begin with Treasure H~ill-starting up
the steep activity above Hamilton, to-
ward the bench on the summit, on which
Chloride Flat is located, you come first
upon deposits Of silver ore ut tho Vir-
GINA mine, some four or five hundred
feet above the town. There is no out
cropping ledge visible here, but numer-
Gus masses of rich ore were found at the
surface, and following these down, the
country rock has been found.
THE cLIuArE-NEcEssARY OUTFIT.
Treasure Hill is from 5000 TO 5000
feet above the level of tho sen, and eX-
posed to the full sweep Of the winter
winds, which are fearfully scvere Mt
times between the Rocky Mountains and
Sierra Nevada. Spring is late, cold
and wet summer short, dry aud toler.
ably pleasant; autumn longnndpleasant,
with fine days, and cold, frosty, freezing
nights. It is reported that snow falls
to q depth Of fifteen Feet on the White
Pine Range in winter, but thus story is
not so we'll authenticated, aud the veg.
citation and general appearance Of the
country would lead to the belief that
the annual fall is not very large. Up to
the goth instant there was but II few
inches Of snow on the highest peak OF
White Pine Mountain, and only mn inch
or two, in scattered patches, on Treas
ure Hill and the Base Range. II was
showing on the Goth and 2lst on the
Toiyabe and other ranges south and
southeast of Austin, and probably also
at White Pine, but the storm did not
appear to be Of long duration. The
winter, however, must be intensely
cold, and those who propose to remain
there until spring must be well prorid.
