nese have rendered terms of settlement
to the French for the massacre of French
subjects at Tien- Tsin. They are not,
however, satisfactory to the French Am.
bassador, who leaves their rejection or
acceptance to bis Government. The
Chinese offer to pay 100000 as indem-
nifty, to be divided between the families
of the sufferers and the French Church
lat Tieu-Tsin. Twenty Chinese engaged
in the massacre have been condemned to
death, sixteen of. whom have been be,
headed, and six have been banished for
ten years to the confines Of Tartary for
stealing and wouDdIng, and nineteen
others Tor three years for the same crimes
in minor degree.
The course adopted by the Chinese
Government Is, however, far from being
indorsed by the people. One popularity
of the money satisfaction is that half of
the fine is to be paid out Of the revenue of
foreign trade collected at Shanghai and
Canton, instead of it's coming out of the
pockets of the people and officials OF the
guilty city. This has created great dis
satisfaction at these ports among foreign
ers, as we'll as natives. Regarding the
executions, the people look upon the
'cul prits as martyrs, and the authorities
are denounced playing the people false
Their dissatisfaction was Shown by the
fire brigade, who were conspicuous in
numbering the Sisters of Charity, refusing
to turn out subsequently on the occasion

burned to the ground. ga IS ma
The opposition to foreigners is not at
all decreased at Tlen-Tsin. 1t is only
temporarily repressed, and, therefore,
unsafe for an oltsIde barbarian to move
about much. At other places, also, the
same ole feeling of hatred of the "barbar-
ians' still exist, and a wide, spread con
viction is said tn prevail among the Chi
.nese that far bIoodier war than ever
China was engaged in is inevitable, and
which belief is shared in by foreigners
In proof of the truth of this, it is stated
that despite the peaceable protestations
Of the Chinese, they are buying up arms
and ammunition in all directions, their
agents having lately purchased ten thou

Ia view of this, it behooves our Gov
eminent to keep naval force in the
Chinese waters strong enough to afford
protection to, and TO prevent the outrage

How GOLD is CREATED.--A practical
engineer in Australia, who is described
as having Literally dug up his facts"
puts forward a theory concerning the for
nation of gold veins in the quartz rock.
In the course of his experiments IN gold
mining, this gentleman strdied the geo
logical as we'll as the lucrative side, aud
he arrives at the following conclusions:
That the auriferous quartz lodes never
continue their course into the granite !;
that they are. on the contrary, invariably
broken off as it were at the point o con
tact that they are twisted and turned
from their due course, or else broken up
into fragments ; that the quartz lodes
are intersected by granite dykes; that
fragments of granite are never found
in quartz lodes, and that in some in
stances these last have been subjected to
the metamorphic action of granite.
These facts, when viewed sequently and
logically, prove to demonstration that
the quartz lodes are of date anterior to
the eruption of the granite rocks There
are quartz lCdes nevertheless sitting in
granite, and which are said on doubtful
authority, to be auriferous. Should this
latter position be established, it would
certainly argue in favor of the more 1e-
cent formation Of quartz lodes. At pres
ent there is no good reason for anticipat-
ing that that position can be maintained.
The quartz lodes, when forcing their
egress, often disturbed, fsured, and rent
assunder the enclosing schists, the ope-
nings so affected being instantly filled by
the quartz stone, and thus giving rise to
those capricious, irregular or zigzag
shapes vulgarly termed East and West
veins But. there are other than the
cosmic and geological conditions men
toned at the time of the formation of the
quartz lodes, and they also indi-
cate the pleutonic character of this
dyke formation. Under this head il to
he reckoned the occurrenceof feldspar in.
quartz veins, for it is an established sci
entiic truth that mica, feldspar, and am.
phlbole or angite, are all minerals which
cannot be formed apart from igneous
chemical action. This single circumstance
alone goes far to prove the original mol
ten state of the SILICA of quartz lodes.
Another argument to the sad end may be
drawn from the fact that the aurifer-
Gus quartz lodes have exercised a mani
fest metamorphic action on the adjacent
walls or casing. They have done SO part
ly in meteorological sense, but generally
there will be found a true metamorph1c
alteration of the rock
