These ports have foreign commerce of $780,
100000, and an enormous domestic trade besides
which we have the immense internal commerce Of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and naYigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the cOmmu-
nisations of the Government, of business, and Of
social life especially in China. She has postal
system, and her only means now of communicating
Information Is by eouriers on land, and bv steam
eFs water
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peOpled; but
few yet resliZe that she contains more than third
of the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population -Four hHs
ayea and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate
Nearly all Of these, who are over ten years old
not only can but do read and write. Her civili-
zation is peculiar, but her literature is extsn-
siye that Of Europe. Chna is land of teach
and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every profered faeili
ty for procuring early Information. 1t IS observed
ia California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone To-day great numbers Of feet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and
used by them exclusively for the Transmission Of
early intelligence If the telegraph we propose
connecting al their great seaports, were now IN
existence it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the first two years Of its sue
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. 1t is Of vast national Importance
commercially, politically and evangelically.
.y@The stock Of this Company has been
qualifedy recommended to capitalists and bust
ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial
articles in the New York Herqia, Tribune,
IForkd Times, Post Express, independent, and
in the Philadelphia North Ameylean, Press,
Ledger, Inquirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
Shares Of this company, to a limited number,

ADVICE TO GIRLS Young ladies,
the whole secret with nine-tenths of
you, of not being able to secure good
husbands, is simply that you do not
know how to work. You have no
knowledge of practical house keeping,
and consequently are useless as help
mates. Instead of being an assistant
to husband you are an obstacle to his
success. Your style of living, too, is
incompatible with his means. You
want to begin house keeping as your
parents left off, not as they began, and
there are few young men who have
not already good income, can afford
to marry you.
There are no possible objections to
the accomplishments of music, paint
inc. and the like, as such, but the idea
is to be able to set these prior amuse-
ments aside, for the stern duties of
married life call for your practical
knowledge. Show the young man that
you can do your part as double busi-
ness, and that you will not be dead
expense to him through life. Believe
US, young friends, as many true, patri-
otic, womanly hearts beat over house
hold duties as futter beneath the soft
light ola parlor chandelier. Your kiss
is just as sweet, your smile just as
bright, your heart as happy and tender
aftera days eXertions ina sphere worthy
of true womanhood, as in the place of
dissipation, frippery and silly amuse-
ment. Have an ambition TO do your
part In life, cultivate industrial habits,
aud let the parlor accomplishments go
with the higher accomplishments we
have roughly enumerated. 1t is as
tonishing how soon a domestic young
lady is found out and appreciated. 1t
| is because she is such rare exception
to the general rule.

IT is asserted that very ''loyal" and
very pious editor in Troy, New York,
whose sympathies have always been
deeply moved in behalf of the suffe ring
negro, has suffered his own father to
die in an Iowa poor-house, without
sending him the aid he was amply able
to furnish. The poor old man had the
misfortune to be white.

is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum, Orange, etc. 1t
is used for the same diseases the Btters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You will bear in mind that these remedies are en-
tirely different from any others advertised for the
cure Of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations Of medicinal extracts, while the 9th
ers are mere decoctions Of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. It's
taste is exquisite tits pleasure to take it, while
its lfegiying, exhilarating, and medicinal quail
ties have caused it to be known the greatest of
all tonics.
