THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA BY THE
CHINEsE.-Fourteen hundred years ago
even America had been discovered by the
Chinese and described by them. They
stated that land TO be about 20, 900 Chinese
miles distant from China. About 500
years after the birth of Christ, Buddhist
priests repaired there, and brought back
the news that they had met with Budd-
hist idols and religious writings in the
country already. Their descriptions, in
many respects, resemble those Of the
Spaniards a thousand years after. They
called the country "Fusany," after a tree
which grew there, whose leaves resemble
those of the bamboo, whose bark the ma
tives made clothes and paper out of, and
whose fruit they ate. These particulars
correspond exactly and remarkably with
those given by the American historian,
Prescott, about the maquay-tree in Mexico.
He states that the Aztccs prepared a pulp
, 1869-09-03

pany placing a line of steamers of not less
than 1900 tons register, making the voy-
age from Halifax Uia Portland and Bar
bados to Demerara in twelve days. The
United States and Dominian mails would
be collected at Portland, so that, practi-
cally, Montreal letters would reach De-
merara in eleven days"
This letter, he continued, he regarded
as an authorized proposal on the part of
the two most important British posses
sions in the West Indies, to contribute a
fair proportion Of what may be required
to subsidize a line Of Steamers TO connect
them with the Dominion ofCanada. The
honorable gentleman went on to show
that if this proposed line were connected
with the projected mail service between
Great Britain and Newfoundland $50 that
the steamers shall start monthly from
Liverpool or Glasgow, and thence pro-
coed, via St. Johns, Newfoundland, Hall
fax and Portland, 10 the West Indies. the
British manufactured goods for Barbados
and Demerara, which at present 60 by
way of Southampton to St. Thomas, and
are there transhipped, may be sent with

charges, as eXpedltiously, and without
any transhipmeut direct to Barbados and
Demerara. He believed that the Govern
ments of the two West India colonies
named, were still willing to act on the
proposal made by Mr.. Barr, and hoped
that if new contracts fer ocean mail ser
vice to Newfoundland were TO be made,
that the opportunity would not be lost to
provide for the service which he had out
lined. In concluding a somewhat lengthy
speech on the subject, Mr.. Ryan showed
that by a proper arrangement of the days
of leaving Great Britain, the departure
from Portland for Barbados would alter
nate with hat Of the Brazilian line of
steamers from New York, which carry a
West Indies mail, sand thus a fortnightly
transmission of mails from the Dominion
TO the West Indies might be secured"
The proposal was supported by several
members, and at the close of the discus
sion, the PoSt-master General promised
that the subject should engage the atten-
ton OF the government.

its roots yielded a nourishing food and
its sap, by means of fermentation, was
made into an intoxicating drink. The
accounts given by the Chinese and Span
iardS, although a thousand years apart,
agree IN stating that the natives did not
possess any iron, but only copper that
they made all their tools, for working in
stone and metals, out of a mixture of
copper and tin and they, in comparison
with the nations of Europe and Asia,
thought but title of the worth Of silver
and gold. The religious customs and
forms of worship presented the same
characteristics to the Chinese fourteen
hundred years ago as TO the Spanl"rdS
four hundred years ago. There Is, more
over, "a remarkable resemblance between
the religion of the Aztecs and the Budd-
hlsm OF he Chinese, as well as between
the manners and customs Of the AztecS
and those of the people Of China. There
IS also a great similarity between the
features OF the Indian tribes OF Middle and
