political capital forgot the necessity OF
sober judgment. Their abolition Of the

was totally uncalled for, aud many other

RAILROADS IN CHINA.

Various things Of no mean Importance

the inventor have in these days pr, tty
much the entire world for their quarry,
and enterprises are seeking far.oT vic.
tories. Tie one great country which
has s,outly and successfully resisted
railways down to this time has
succumbed to the great progress Of events
aud we Just read 10 an exchange OF i've
miles of railro IN operation. and Ave

il is truly enough "ths first step that

road linz s-tbat is the ultimate meaning
OF the little line which has gained lods.
ment on her eastern coast. The Jnp,.
n.se are already accustomed to the
steam whistle and the HIndoos have
been so for many years. 1t was much
harder task to persuade their neighbors,
the Chinese, but il is done. Tue vision
Of great railway lines str tching across
the Flowery Land. through those thick
clusters OF population which, together
swell the vast total Of four hundred mil

not, perhaps, the Russian Imagination,
but the Russian ambition Of commercial
monopoly. The universal expsri noe OF
