poles will interfere with the Fung-Shuey,
"wind and water" species of geomancy,
or belief in the good or i'll luck attached
to particular local situations that the poles
may have struck.
An event has just occurred which will
hasten the erection of telegraphs. The
grand Pckin Council Of Scholars have Just
awarded two competitive prizes to two
Cantonese scholars, the highest honors of
the empire. The news was sent from
Shanghai by sea telegraph to Hong Kong,
and reached Canton days before the news
could come overland. The Cantonese were
astounded, and discredited the intelligence
until the long-looked-for Pekin Official Ga
zette came overland and confirmed it.
Then there was wonder and marvel over
that intelligence, and all China, from North
to South, is asking if it will do to give for
egners the means of more rapid intercourse
with the exterior of our empire than we
ourselves have. Interest, their trade and
commerce, think, will soon dispose of
that Fung-Shuey, and give China the tele-
graph.
We have opened their great river, one of
the greatest rivers in the world, and by
steam we Americans do nearly all the coast
ing trade there, with Shanghai. Manda-
rims now prefer our boats to their iunks to
travel in. Europe and America have
taught Cinnamon how to cast cannon and to
make rifles. Their factories, under our
auspices, are almost equal to ours. Their
rifle IS as good as our Springfield rifle
Their ships of war are new putting on for
lnidable fronts. If England again comes
into conflict with China it will not be so
easy conquest as in her last two Chinese
wars.

An American in China--Confucius a jefferson
ian Democrat-ImperiaI Matrinony.
Congressman James Brookes, writes
from Pekin, under date of August 81, some
interesting notes on Chinese polity. lie
says:
Before / leave Pekin must try to con-
vey to you my impressions of what this
government is. 1t seems to be Democrat
ic despotism, and hence, perhaps, the Sc
cret of its old age and long preservation.
Confucius was a sort Of Thomas Jefferson
or Ben Franklin. He laid down great prac-
teal Democratic principles, and they have
ruled emperors and mandarins hundreds
and hundreds of years. Confucius created
public opinion and a system Of precedents
that no despotism could ever safely
ignore. Then, the common people,
through their instructed mandarins,
guide and overawe, if they. do not
ever sway the Emperor. He is afraid Of
the people, and the mandarns are afraid Of
the people, too. There is as much pub
lie opinion here to be respected as in Great
Britain or the United States, No heredita-
ry aristocracy of any kind exists. No man
DARN can transfer even his buttons, to say
nothing Of his post, to his children. When
these mandarins are made governors of the
provinces Of China their power is quite alb
solute, but the Emperor is omnipotent, of
course, over them. The provinces are like
our States, with certain provincial rights
that mandarins must respect when sent
there. Hence the government is nowhere
absolutely absolute--that is, with safety to
itself.
THE RAILROAD AND TELEGRAPH.
Intelligent mandarins would like to build
railroads and telegraphs, it is thought, but
they dare not, it is believed, as yet. No
mandarin feels potent enough to advise the
emperor to run a railroad over the graves
and through the graveyards of Chinese
revered and worshipped ancestors. The
trouble in erecting telegraph poles is, that
asuperstitious Chinaman believes land all
are more or less superstitious) that these
