JOIN CnINAMAN IN CANADA.--The
prejudice against the Mongoliau race has
recently manifested itself in an attempt
to induce the Legislature Of British
Columbia to prohibit the employment of
Cinnamon on the work of the Canada
Pacific Railway 1t is urged by the en-
cmies of the Cinnamon that they are not
likely to become permanent settlers in
the country through which the railroad
passes, the Chinese labor is not, as is
generally supposed, cheaper than white
labor, and that it is slavery not far re.
moved from the recent African slavery Of
the South. Inasmuch as it is extremely
desirable for the good of the country
through which it is to pass, that the
Canada Pacific Railroad should bo COM
pleted as speedily as practicable, the
managers of the road must be the best
judges of the expediency and economy Of
employing Cinnamon. We think the
Victoria Legislature has done wisely in
refusing to sanction this exclusion. 1t is
quite time that complaints against
Monaghan labor, founded in mere pre-
judicc, and arising from pure selfshness,
should be disregarded, and that our
mutual needs should make us forget those
unreasonable traditions born of ignorance
and nurtured in the narrow-mindcdncs
of n past age.

A MYsTERY.-Peter Little, Cauadi-
an about % years Of age, living at Mil
ton Falls, disappeared on Sunday last in
a mysterious manner He, together,witb
a boy about ten years Of age, went down
to the Teddy" at the foot Of the fall, fish.
ing. While fishing he took Of his hat
and laid it on the bank of the river; af-
ter remaining short time he told the
boy he was going up the hill to fish in the
rapids, telling him to stay by his hat till
he came back; at the same time lie took
from his pocket small cord, saying he
was going to hang himself. The course
he took was ~ the river towards the riv-
er towards the village. The boy waited
about an hour, when he went in search Of
him, but not finding him, went home and
told his story. Search was at once made,
but no trace of him has been found. He
was an industrious, steady young man,
had been married but few months, and
no one can imagine why he should drown
himself, or disappear in this unaccounta-
BILE way. .-.----- 80 ---- .---- - ---

Editorial Notices are SO common that It is al
most impossible for an editor to express his hon
est opinion Of the merits of any article without
being suspected of interested motives. This fact
however, shall not deter US from saying what we
think Of new addition to the Matoria Medica to
which our attcnt on has been recently directed.
We referto DR.. Walkers California Vinegar Bit
tiers, q remedy which is making its way into moro
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together There seems to be no
question about the potency Of its tonic and alter
alive properties, while it possesses the great neg
alive Recommendation Of Containing neither alco-

Indigestion, Billiousnoss Constipation, md many
complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to
know; and we arc assured on good authority that
as a general invigorant, regulating and purifying
medicine, it has no equal. 1t is stated that its
ingredients, obtained from the wids Of Caifor-

FALL OF THE BosToN CoLIsEUM.--About
quarter before eight o'clock Friday
evening people in various parts of Bos-
ton were startled by hearing what seemed
like peal of thunder coming from the
southwest People living in the vicinity
Of the Coliseum for the coming Jubilee,
were quickly aware of its cause as a
gigantic truss wall and towers of the
building were Frustrated in mass of
ruins.
The report of the terrible crash was
heard for miles. One of the end towers
had reach the height of | 10 feet, and the
truss, destroyed, was 140 feet high and
had clear span Of 800 feet nearly fifty
thousand feet Of lumber having been used
in its construction. -
The wind was blowing at the rate Of
10 miles per hour when the disaster &C.
cured 1t had been blowing more or
less throughout the afternoon and about
four O'Clock one hundred and fifty feet of
the eastern wall of the building, next to
the Providence Railroad, was blown
down. Several watchmen were in the
vicinity of the building and a train of
cars was passing but no one was injured.
The accident will cause only a tenn
porary delay in the building operations.
A large force of men will be set at work
to clear away the debris and an increas-
ed number of workmen will commence at
once to put the structure in shape again.
Nearly dozen of the large trusses are
already finished and ready to be placed
in position.

the istas with which Spain is afflicted, are.
driving him mad with Revolutionary at.
tempts. The sturbulent nlinoritics', bid
fair to be too much for him, although
he has Infinite troops at his command,
and all the railways are at his disposition
to instantly move men aud artillery wher--
ever it may be advisable. The Ministry
will stand as Grm as Spaniards OF the pres
cnt epoch can stand, but they cannot hin.
der the departure of Amadeus, which is
as inevitable as was the wretched con-
dition of affairs out of which he dritted
into Kingship. The strength of the Car
lists, the faction concerning which we
constantly have so many conflicting and
exciting telegraphic reports, is probably
not very formidable in numbers; but the
moral weight against the stranger King
is Almost overpowering. The Spaniard
adercs revolution, and the ebullitons of
Carlist enthusiasm here and there stem
the flood Of even ;he ofiice-loving and
tcmporizing Madrilenos. At the same
time the republicans continue their occa-
sional protests, descending from the noun.
tains from time to time to barricade
city and burn place. Down with ANA.

repuJlicanoS. and the factions almost for.
get their cnmities and differing aims in
the oneness of contempt which they OK
pericnce for the present sovereign, and
their unquenchabe desire to be rid of him.
Amadeus processes in his latest speech
that he will not thrust himself on the
people save as the representative of a
majority, but hints that he does not in
tend to allow any minorities to expel him.
All of which reads very prettily and
seems quite fair, but it gives the Spaniards
food for thought Did they not make q
mistake in accepting him at all and can
even a satisfactory majority long hold
him in a country where a minority can
make as much disturbance as did the
traditional epraged bull in the china shop?
These are questions which make thought

F An impression has long seemed to
prevail among the students of Middlcbury
College, and we believe is not peculiar to
this institution, that the duties and obli-
cations and restraints Of citizenship do
not and should not be made to rest upon
them. This feeling is manifested in
many ways. But in none more objec.
itonably, than in the lawlessness of their
general bearing, and their frequent def.
anse of law. 1t is well known fact
that very few, even of the more worthy
young men, have the courage to refuse
to Join with their class in the enjoyment
of their Sophomore stolen turkey supper.
The puerile practice of giving tin horn
serenades is quite generally participated
in. Bolts, so called, often embrace the
whole College. And that demonstration,
each year recurring. of distributing an
onymous papers at the Junior exhibition,
devoted to personalities upon one another,
the faculty, and latterly upon the citizens
of the town, has had run entirely unac-
ceuntable except upon the theory of gen.
eral approval. So long as this foolish
custom was confined to themselves, the
people had no desire to interfere with it,
though no less recognizing the wrongness
of the principle. But when attacks are
made upon the citizens and it becomes
the vehicle for obscenity and blasphemy,
and to cap the climax, the fair names of
our best young ladies are coupled with
obscene illusions, then, certainly,it is time
active measures were taken to bring the
young men to their senses. And if an
appeal to their courtesy, gratitude and
manliness, has no effect, let the law take
them in hand and deal with them as with
other criminals. Such is the feeling now
prevailing in this community.

How TO TEST KERosENE.-But how
can we be positively assured of safety in
the use Of kerosene? How can we know
of the quality of character of the article
offered us by dealers? These are i'm
portant questions, which will naturally
arise in the mind Of the reader. We
answer there is poSitire assurance of
ety,ifpure, well manufactured kerosene
is consumed We do not balieye a seri-
Gus accident ever occurred from kerosene,
the inflammable point Of which was above
ll00 f., and this is the legal standard.
During the past fifteen years the writer
has made large number of experiments
upon burning fluids, and Investigated
thoroughly the conditions under which
accidents occur in their use. Personal
investigation has been made of the alleg-
ed cases of explosions, many of which
have been reported and therefore opinions
are expressed upon the subject with
confident feeling Of their correctness. "
Purchases made direct, of long estab-
lished, reputable manufacturers, afford
assurances Of safety. But such are not
readibly accessible, and in most cases a
supply is sought from the nearest dealer,
without any definite knowledge of the
source from whence it comes, or its char
acter or quality. If consumers are will
ing to be put to little trouble, simple
experiment will determine the safety OF
the kerosene they purchase. Fill a pint
bowl two thirds full of boiling water, and
into it put a common metallic theonome
ter. The temperature will run up to
over 2000. BY gradually adding cold
water, bring down the temperature Of thu
water to l10', and then pour into thu
bowl a spoonful of the kerosene, and ap
ply lighted match If it takes fire, thu
article should be rejected as dangerous
if not, it may be used with confden
feeling of its safety. In this experiment
which is the most simple that can be de
vised, the fire test is directly applied
Upon practical trials il has been found /,
afford correct results: s-2-- -ia 4JsAa. 4'.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.-The founda-
ton for the uneasiness which prevails in
Europe regarding the relations between
France and Germany, which is even said
to be exercising some effect upon the gold
market in New York, has not in any
overt act of either power, but in the gen.
eral belief that France is only waiting the
hour, and that her people and rulers
would welcome war if it gave them an
opportunity for revenge. The report that
Bismarck had sent an ultimatum to Paris
proves untrue, and the French minister
at Berlin reports himself on good terms
with the Imperial Government but the
cautious Theirs was overruled by the AS
sembly at the reopening of the session
and the Army bill was given the second
place on its calendar in spite of the Pres
idents protest. The proposed reorgan-
ization Of the army is on a scale of great
magnitude. Even now Theirs is said to
have more men ready for active service
than Napoleon had when he entered upon
his late war, and the new scheme propos-
es to divide the country into twelve dis
tricts, each with corps d'armee, giving
a force Of l 100000 men, capable of easy
increase to over million and half At
present the Germans can put only mil
lion and quarter fmen into the field.
Of course such an extensive war prepar-
alton, in the present enfeebled state of
Erapoa apd uifh har ovartava1 rasour
ces, means but one thing, a threat to her
conqueror, and all the fair words that
may be exchanged between the two ma
tiens cannot hide it. How far Bismarck
will permit the French to 60 in this mad
enterprise time will tell. The security
of Germany and the safety Of the French
war indemnity will furnish him sufficient
justification for any repressive steps he
may take. France may cherish her hope
of revenge, but the day of its realization
is yet far distant.
