A New Metropolis.

It is said that plan will be pre-.
eented at the next session Of the New
Jersey Legislature for the formation
vf new Municipality. embracing
withiuin its limits, Jersey City,
Newa.k, Elizabeth, Railway, Eliza.
bc,hport, Bayonne. Grecnevillo,
Hoboken, Scacausus, Orange, Ru,hcr.
ford Park, Pa5saic, Paterson and the
intermediate small villages. The
proposed new district comprises one
hundred and twenty-five square
miles the same area as that covered
by London, and already has popnla-
tion Of four huuhred thousand. II is
traversed by steam railroads in all
directions, upon which four huhdrcd
and fifty passenger trains are run
daily. and, besides having tho llud.
sun River on its eastern front, it has
two hnc rivers and II canal running
through it. A number of main lines
of railway from the Sonth and West
now concentrate at Jersey City, aud
from its warehouses vossels can be
loaded for foreign ports tho city
having tho same port facilities at
New York. Ali these facts, coupled
with u remark made recently by
Governor Parker, of New Jersey, that
"in fifty or seven,y-fvo years the
creates, city of the continent would
DO on the west side Of the Hndson,"
has inspired New York to renewed
agitation Of proposals to build bridges
across tho Hudson River, to Improve
the harbor and to provide meaos of
rapid transit between tho Bnttefy
and Harlem River.

to conduct tho service in porlicu,

he came to tho sermon, he broke COM

of tho congregHtion, and not a LITTLE
to their chagrin, announced that all
that he had had to cat or drink during
that aud tho previous day, hal been
bread and buttor and tea, and that
when h, should 60 home after service
was oycrhe would not feel certain OF
finding oven that much. The seusa-

indescribablc. Many Of the congrc-

a Brilliant Scheme 'cr the Conquest OF
Mexico,

The first project for tho conquest O
Mexico i'll our day and generation
we heard Of at Appoma,tox Cuur
House at tho surrender. The projcc
then, as reported, was substantial,
that tue Federal Government woult
trau.ter such mem bers of the Army
of Northern Virginia, as might cou
sent thereto, to its service and march
upon Mexico.
Since tuen, annually, if net often.
er, schemcs for Mexican conquest au0
annexation have been brought before
tho public.
The latest project embraces the
conquest of chihuahua, roahuila,
New Leon and Sonora aud their SUBJ
sequent annexation to tho United
States. a number of capitalists Of
this country, aud many wealthy ci:i.
zeas Of Mexico, arc said to be con-
nectcd with the scheme.
A brief outline Of the project is as
follows: The Texas Pacii, Railroad
is in the course Of construction from
boil tormini, and tho track will be
finished about the middle Of the route,
somewhere near El Paso. Some fiji
teen thousand laborers will be en-
gnged Oh the road and when tho
work is completed, they will be dis
charged in country where It will
be impossible for them to obtain en-.
pl" Yucnt, and as such men are gem
craliy improSidcnt and without
money, they will be glad to accept
anything that they may offer. How
these men are to be utilized is thus
stated. y society has been organ
lied, with headquarters at New Or
leans. composed exclusively OF officers
OF the Union and Confederate armies,
no ono bciog eligible who has not Oh.
tanned the rank Of Captain. Some
weeks before tho completion of the
railroad these gentlemen will be sent
forward in dctachmcnts to make
thcn& elves personally acquainted
with tho laborers and on the dis
charge of the latter they will attempt
to organize them into an army.
Commissaries and camp cquipage
arc to DO furnished by the capitalists
who back them. They will then
march over tho Northern States of
Mexico and raise the flag cf indc
pcndcncc in each Of them. The poo.
plr Of these States arc to look favora.
bly, on the enterprise, and offor no
molcs,ation or interference, and the
government of Mexico will be power
less to prevent it. Tho next step
will be annexation to tho United
States 10y vote Of the peopie, us was
the case with Texas. Tom Scott and
General Grant are mentioned as
connected with or favorable to the
scheme.

A Chinese HOrCr.r

When,the dreadful st ory Of the Mas
sacro of twenty thousand people in
! the Chinese tity Of Tall (Tali.fu).
was announced by telegraph, some
three mouths ogo, there was Il generai
; expression Of incredulity. 1t seems
hardly possible that such a vast de-
struction of life ha, been accomplish.
ed, even among the tiger like and
vengcful tribes which inhabit the
southwestern frontiers of the Chinese
Empire. But later details Of the
bloody collapse Of the Mohammedan
rebellion iD Yunnan con6rm the
dreadful tidings. Is Tali-fu Ho Far
away from the local points of the
Western civization that the butchery
Of it's entire population rouses rot
even languid Interest Modern bis~
tory gives 40 suoh record of any suoh
,noustrous sacrifice Of human life {;
Tor the number slain, according to
she most trustworthy accounts, is
more than forty thousand peup!e.
The pitoous tale may never be told
% US in full but we are slowly and
ob-cnrc!y learning enough to assure
rs that the Mohamm mcdan rebellion in
iunnan, has, after eighteen Of huc-
tnating vifor, gone out III blood.
The Mohammedans Of tho province
Of Yannan have maintained their re-
iialous faith for many centuries
Ill 1885 they were stroug enough to
deiy the Imperial goeo.nment, drive
oat tho representatives, of the enipe-
ror and establish a quasi authority
Of their own. In 1885 the central
authority Of their empire was vested
IN Sultan Sulrimnu, as he was called,
and the capital WAS tixcd Mt Tali.tu,
now made mournfully famous. The
Chinese government, then distracted
and hartassed By other rcbc!l;ons
which threatened the integrity of tho
empire, as we'll as by alarming
foreign complications, was forced to
leave the Mohammedans of Yunnan
to their own devices.
Finally, relieved from more immi.
nent peTils, the imperial government
cent strong force against tho PAM
thays, NJ tho Yunnan rebelsare somes
times iuaocurately called; and last
February, an army Of 10000 Chinese
after siege of seven months, cartur.
ed the city of Tall. The "Sultan" ie
said to have surrendered himself on
condition that tho people should be
spared. Poisoning his wives and
chi!dron (of which, we make no doubt
lie had an abnndancc.) he entered mis-
and was borne to the camp
of the vigorous boseigers. When
the curtains of his cquipago were
drawn, he was found dead. He had
swallowed fatal draught before
leaving his capital. The pornlace Of
Tali-fu we're given over to the
sword. Momien, tho next important
city of the rebcllious province, sub
seqnently shared the same ate which
befel the scat of the hapless Sulei-
man.
