The heather Chinee have notions that
might be advsntageously adopted by Chris
sians. The way they celebrate their holi-
days is one of them. The first thing they
do is to pay off old debts and square
accounts to fraction. Money matters have
been thus adjusted, they next make up old
quarrels, and shake hands all round. Hav.
ing thus got square pecuniarily and socially,
they eat, drink and are merry, and finally
wind up with a sparkling discharge of Chi
nese FIRE crackers. The paying Of debts
and the making up of ousrrels is certainly
good way to begin celebration Of holidays.

One of the great triumphs of Homeopathy is the
cure of diseases of DOMESTIC ANNALS. The
Horse, the Gov, Sheep, Deg, and even Hog, are
cured of the several diseases TO which the, are
subject, by the small doses Of Homeopathy, with
q degree of certainty and rapidity that is ANA
ring. Some diseases incurAbie by the ordinary
the ease with which the medicine may be given
and the rapidly Of the cure is perfectly delight

subject them TO the barbarous tort1res and the
liz gering uncertainty of the old system.

GEN, SCUENCh.

| Robert G. Schenck is the Minister of the
United States at the Court of st. James. He
| is Il veteran statesman, whom we met serving
| in Congress nearly quarter of a century ago,
and who was even then eminent and honorcd.
For most of the intermediate time, h. has been
ont of office, and he served with credit through
out the War with the Union Volunteers. He
has ever been esteemed by the public, as by
us, q man of spOtlfss integrity.
The Emma Mine is understood to be a very
rich vein of silver ore opened somewhere in
Utah. We know no.hi z mere Of il than what
we have cleaned from the newspapers; but
every account we have seen makes it remark
ably productive.
1t seems that the owners cf hat vein have
formed q stock company ard .rit an agent to
London to sell part of tie ,!oc.;, on basis
which they say will yield the bu, RS dividends
Of eighteen per cent. p"i ANN. What We
know of mining induces ,is not to want any
of this stock; still, we presume that the rep
reservations of the Ownrr5 Of the mine are
made in good faith, and we hope their expcc-
tatOns will be realized. 1t appears that Gen.
Schenck has been induced or persuaded 20
take an interest in this mine, an! to accept a
III tHC CohI'tHr 't"Cu 'uCi' VII Ia
doing this, he gives the Brit III T.li.c hi, per
sOnal assurance that he fully hcl''c' H." rep
RESERVATIONS Of those who arc tying /" iii 1t,
stock.
Now, if there be any fraud or i',eclton ia
the premises, Gen. Schenck i, guilty Of
great wrong. But this is not even prttrn,lcl
The cry now hot against him docs not assume
this. 1t alleges that it is wroug, prima tacic,
that he, being our Minister, should be at the
same time director in q mining company.
Now. if the regulations Of our diplomatic
service forbid him to assume and hold such
position, We would not gainsay them. The
law is master OF II al and Gen. Sc!cnck, as
a lawyer and Minister, il bound to know
the law regulating his conduct and obey it.
But if lie las done nothing forbidden ly
the rules of TIE service, then we protest
against this hue-and-cry. Gen. Schcnck is too
old and valuable a public servant to BE-
WhiStlod down the wind on such a charge.
If the mine is all that its managers represent
it~(and we are confident that Gen. Schcnck
has taken care not to be nIi,ltd on this point
and if ne has broken no Jegula:ion OF the
service, then we insist that he sliall not be
discrcditcd because of what il at the Wolsi an
error of judgment, whereof the controlling in
pulse may well have been readiness 20
