The Chinese who are with Mr.. Bur-

tire suite is composed of Confucianists,
no Buhdist or Tauist being among the
number. Confucian temples have no
idols. They are not places of religious
worship, for Confucius taught nothing
in respect to God, or mans relations
to deity. lie taught only mans duty to
man. These men know and respect ouI
missionaries. They have seen the trans
lations of the Bible and know some
thing of Jesus. One of the interpret
ers said he was taught English by Rev
DR.. Martin, missionary from Amer

university established in Pekin by i'm.

seemed to think much of his teacher.

If there were no parties and no political

about to choose President and Vice President
the rival candidates being, as now, Ulysses
5. Grant against HoTatio Seymour tor Presi-
dent, and Schuyler COlfax against Francis p.

receive at least two thirds of the votes 7 What

Now there are parties and political divisions;
and these sway the votes OF many peoples but
not of all. There are very many thousands
who will vote with primary reference to the
candidates-for that ticket which, ON the whole,
they deem composed OF the filter and more de-
serving men. Who doubts that these will tell
heavily for Grant and COlfaxH
Again:-
Let us suppose the election were over, and
Grant and COlfax duly elected beyond csvil.

The Enquirer adds explanations, whereof
these are specimens
1--WE carried Nevada at the last election. Indi-
ana and Illinois are old Democratic states,
which the war caused to swerve from their
moorings."
-"The War;" which caused Indiana and
Illinois to "swerve from their moorings,' was
that waged by the Democratic party, through
its leaders and representatives, on the rights
of free labor in the Territories. They SO
"swerved" in 1884, and they went heavily for
Lincoln in 1860. What "War' do you refer to |!
We can't help asking the Enquirer'S atten-
tion to little circumstance which it seems to
have overlooked. A gentleman we'll known
to us, after looking on at the late Democratic
National Convention, left $4,000 a. the St.
Nicholas Hotel to bet on Grant and Colfax, as
we mentioned ten days ago. And George
Wilkes, in his Spirit, remarked that he had
$4,000 or over to bet on the same side. We
haven't yet heard of any one going after either
of those amounts. If this implies Chat the
Democratic blacklegs have all repented, burnt
their sweat cloths, and joined the church, we
are heartily glad of it, and family hope that
their change of heart is permanent. We are
afraid, however, that it wouldn't stand the
strain of decided Democratic victory in the
October elections.

The Great Issue of the Canvass-General
Blair's Letter Of Acceptance.

From the NJ Y. World.
The Sun, with the success which commonly
attends unasked advice, is fond of giving the
Democratic party the benefit of its counsel,
while reserviDg for the radicals its equally
unfrutful good wishes. Advising the Demo
cratic party is perfectly innocent amuse-
ment, and we hope the Sun will never be
worse employed, even though it constantly
experiences the fate OF Tam o. 'Shanter's faith
full wife Kate:-
at gars me greet,
To think how mouy cDunsels sweet,
How mony heightened, sage advlces
The husband from tue wife despises."
We fear the Sun is getting discouraged and
is about to give over its volublo good Offices;
and in the hope OF averting such a calamity
to the Democratic party, We take this occasion
to explain why its tender soicitude for the
success Of the party has not, as yet, been bet
ter appreciated. In an article on General
Blair's letter of acceptance, the Sun makes
these remarks:-
General Blair tx both right and wrong. He is
right in announcing that "Lhe issues upon
which the contss 81 turns are clear and cannot be
obscured or distorted" and that they are those
to which he gives prominence In his letter. But
we take the liberty of assuring him that the
Democracy commit "a fatal bluuder In fighting
their battle on this ground. 1t Is the very mode
of carrying out the contest which most gratines
the Republicans Tney desire that the princi-
pies involved should be rs nearly Identical as
possible with those that entered Into the last

compel them to support him for the Presl-
dency"-we say, this is presenting the issues of
the campaign precisely In the shape in which
the Republicans desire 10 meet them; for IL is
exactly here that they feel strong while on
some OF the financial problems raised by PEN
dleton, and which Blair wholly ignores, they
are weak, especially in the great States Of the
Northwest.
We have often announced that the road for
success TO the Democratic party lay in the dl.
rection of ignoring those embarrassing topics
relating TO reconstruction.
The sum of these structures is, that the
course of the Democratic party is honest aud
straightforward, but inexpedient. The Demo
cratic party, Judging from a different stand
point, thinks that nothing is so polite or SC
respectable as sincerity and mAnllness. ThC

IdeAIIsmin woman.

Woman's nature and woman's life,
void of idealism, want the special, the
inner loneliness which sweetens all
other qualities with the soul of femi-
nine inspiration. 1 do not account
mere weakness womanly, or mere
strength manly; but unideal weakness
becomes Stiffness, and unideal strength
coarseness. A lofty soul is not un-
feminine; on the contrary 1t may be
most womanly, rich in fancy and sem
sibility. She that has rich, womanly
soul, however moderately gifted with
talent or beauty, has q lustre around
her of purity and grace more engaging
than any brilliancy OF talent or splen-
dor of beauty.
1t is never coarse garments or plain
features that offend; hearts the geutlest
and the noblest have beaten against
homespun, and features not of Grecian
mould have been shrines to genius
worthy of the gods. That which really
does offend and shock is the harsh
voice, the ungentle look, speech mind
less and unmusical; these things in
women give us more than common
pain, because they disaPpoint, because
they disenchant, because they contra
dict the faith which we cherish, in the
diviner humanity that we attribute to
woman's nature. And there Is no
stage or relationship of life in which
idealism is not a primal element OF
godliness in the woman. 1t is so in the
matron as in the maiden; in the devo-
ton of the mother as in the dreams OF
the girl; in the wife as In the virgin as
holy in the memories of age as 1t Is
glowing in the affections, the passions,
and the hopes of youth.-GiLeS' Human

a scene In the. Speakers Room at
Washington.

Washington Correspondence Of De Detroit .Post
During the time the Convention was
balloting for Vice President, the Speak
er's room in the Capitol was the scene
of intense excitement At least fifty
Republican Senators and Representa-
] tiyes were present. Mr.. Colfax was
seated at table in the centre of the
room, with General Paine, OF Wiscon-
sin-the one-legged hero of Port Hud-
rapid succession announcing the pro-
gress OF each vote. and expectancy was
on dp-toe as TO the result
As the several ballots were taken
ColfaS's friends grew confident, He
seemed to be the only unexcited man
in the crowd. In his calm, quiet,
pleasant way he would read the tele-
grams as they We're received, and hard
ly two minutes elapsed between them.
AT last came the result of the fifth bal
lot. The speakers voice betrayed a
little excitement as he read it. General
Paine reached forward and grasped his
hand with the warmth of an unsel6sh
friendship. Others gathered nround
him. In an instant General Paine rose
and proposed three cheers for the next
Vice President of the United States.
And then, in that Speakers room on
the walls of which hung portraits Of
all the men who have been pre-

GOOD ADVICE FOR CoNSUAPTIvEs.-
Let, then, those dreading consumption,
as well as those attacked, give TO the
pure, fresh air every facility for invig-
Grating their constitutions. Let them
be out of doors to breathe 1t, of course,
with sufficient clothing, whether the
weather be warm or Indictment; let
them admit the air freely into their
sleeping apartments. One.third, or
Whereabouts, of our lives we spend in
bed; do we consider what our physical
frame must lose in being deprived of
pure air for so great portion of our
lives? Would you admit draft
Yes; as soon as the system has gradu-
ally become habituated to it, let the air
blow in freely, without let or hinder
ance, If not across and through the
room, at least from one side. Little do
those sleeping in close, confined bed
rooms suspect the refreshment and in
vigoration OF nights rest with the
pure, cool air passing over the sleeper's
face; and still less, having once enjoyed
it, would they return to their former
habit.
But let us not, by any means, UNDER
rate the vital importance ola sufhcien-
cy OF hearty, wholesome food, or of
fatty articles of diet. In our land of
plenty but two classes in good circum-
stances are likely to suffer in this re-
spect-infants, about the time of wean-
ing and onward, who, giving up their
animal food, their mothers milk, are
often restricted in the use of fats and
animal food, and those tending toward
phthisis, who voluntarily restrict
themselves. The latter class, indeed,
might almost be pointed out by their
uniform rejection of fats. 1t is very de
sirable that such be habituated to par
take freely of butter, cream, milk and
fat meats-if tho stomach can be
trained to receive the latter. would
never press the eating OF fat meat;
other forms of fat may be substituted
for It. and experience has convinced
me that the difficulty with which in
the stomach the gastric juice reaches
through to the albuminous envelope
of the inner oil globules ere they ca
be set free to pass into the duode-
mum, renders the digestion of fat meat
so slow a Process as to tease the stom-
ach, often causing It to entirely reject
the offending substance.-Dr. Charles
II.
