after making Glass Governor of the Island
fell on the soil, part OF which Lambert had
cleared. and harvested vast quantities of pota-
toes. Now and then stray seaman joined the
colony, and two women came among them
from the distant cape. Seven years after
GLASS and his folks were left alone; the colony
had grown INTO twenty-five mel and three
women. Glass told the captain of H. M. &.

more women to make the place an earthly

colony exists without either governor or gov

A MID-OCEAN COLONY.

From an article in the London Athereun1
on tho recent voyage Of Prince Alfrsd In the

count Of curious little community dwelling
IN mid-o ,ean:
On quitting Rio the romance Of the voyage
began by call at Tristan d'Acunha, tho largest
rock in lonely group Of islets ia ,hs great
waters-a gronp whoa is said to hs fnrthar
away from other settlements than any 0tber
land in the wolld.. Here is o prime fact for
romance. One or the three rocks is called "Iu.
ACCESSIBLE" o cond .sNiglrtingale,' and the
third Tristan" The Arrest spot on which
men hve ~ ST. Helena, and that dwarf
islet is o tr do of, twelve hundred miles to
tie north. IA little story, eornething like tat
OF the Pine Islandera--like that Of the Ptoairn
Islanders---lends charm to this lonely group
During the early days Of Napoleon's. oaptivity

to stand. They ate their meals and enjoyed
their symposiums in state of recum6 sncy
on seats prepared for the purpose. We think
that Americans would be all the better off,
both physically and mentally, if they were to
follow, changing what ought to be changed, the
Roman example in these particulars. The con-
sequence of the abnormal activity into which
American energy runs is an abnormal degree
Of reaction. The great achievements which
such people may accomplish are purchased
at the risk of fatal depression and lassitude.
The oscillation and the friction are too g-eat'
There is danger of complete exhaustion, in
which despotism, anarchy or ruin might ap-
proach without arousing the lethargic facul-
ties to resistance.

The Associated Press dispatches last even-
ing contained the following:
LONDON, Jan. 2.-Burlingame departed for
Paris, after agreeing with Clarendon on the fol.
lowing principles for the future British policy to.
wards China
/. That it viii be necessary to observe the ex
listing treaty.
2. Negotiations to be conducted with the GEN.
trail government, not with the local authorities.
3. Before inaugurating war disputes should be
referred TO the home government.
The general principles of the American we're
discussed.
We have heard il said of some things that
they were as "clear as mud" and it really
seems to us that mud would be as transparent
as celestial ether in comparison with the
above telegram. If the reporter had written
and transmitted it in Chinese it would have
been quite as ineligible as in its present
shape, and we might then have fancied it to
have some sense-a stretch of the imagination
which is now entirely impossible. We can,
however, excuse this lack of signifcsncy in
the present case, as any sort of nonsense is
quite congruous with the character of Bur-
lingame, and his troop of itinerant mounte-
banks.

1t is now stated that the contracts for the
New Orleans and Mobile section of the Chat
tsnooga railroad will be given out on the goth
of this month and that the work will be
pushed forward with all due celebrity. This
is good news, and quite important, if true.
1t is certainly to be hoped that we shall soon
have direct railroad communication with Mo-
bile, and that all efforts to prevent the con-
summation of so desirablean object will fail.
The city of New Orleans has granted large
privileges to the Chattanooga company-in
fact those privileges were granted nearly two
years ago, and, up to this time, we have seen
no indication of any design, on the part of
the company, to carr out the pledges which
were then made II is gratifying to see that
they are now going earnestly to work.
