New ROUTE FOR CHINA PRoDUCE.-Mr. Garrett, Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Road, has made An ar
rangement by which goods exported from China
are transported ria San Francisco over the Pacific
Road. and from Omaha TO Baltimore by Mr.. Gar
rett's road, and thence to Liverpool by direct
shipment, This is the FIRST step in the effort to
bring the English trade with China and Japan by
the trans-continental route; and as it is a great
saving of time to English merchants, it is probable
that 4 great portion of that trade will, as soon as
its advantages are apparent, be turned in this
direetion.-Briish Trade journal.

SILyER.-This lately deprecated metal has got
back again in London to slid. per ounce, and
among the causes Of lis recovery are mentioned a
sudden demand for silver in China. At Shanghae
alone there was recently said to be $4,000 bales
of silk, valued at Sl5, 600, 900, which could not be
moved for want of silver to pay the native mer-
chants. At the tea ports, there was a corresponding
scarcity of silver, and it was impeding the export
OF tea. According to a speech Of Lord George
Hamilton in Parliament on the Indian budget,
the loss on Indian exchanges for the current year
is estimated at fully Fl millions.

wife who was left to mourn his sudden
loss was nearly distracted. For many
days after her husband was buried she
continued to deplore his death, and went
nearly wild whenever she thought Of 1t.
Her nights were passed in restless raw

cheerless. It was feared by her friends
that her mind would become diseased
IL her grief was not in some way assuag-
ed At last she dropped to sleep one
sunny afternoon. and while thus at
rest she dreamed that her husband came
to her. and bending over her, implanted
kiss upon her brow. She asked him
to remain with her, but he told her that
he could not, that he was too happy
where he was, but that they would meet
again hereafter in the better world. The
vision passed and she awoke. Since
then her thoughts have been at rest and
she is thoroughly impressed with the be-
lief that her husband is happy, and that
she will 60 to him when she comes to

a Touching Romance.

The following touching story is vouch
ed for as being strictly true by Captain
NJ. c. Wilkinson of tais city, who is an
intimate friend of Lieut. Rcadc's, they
having served for several years in the
same regiment, The San Francisco But
bttn says:
More than year ago the Bulletin pub
lished under the head of "Charming
Romance one of the truest stories of
worthy love and laudable ambition ever
told. Briefly related the facts were
these Lieut. Philip Rcadc, a young
army officer, heard in Topeka church
choir voice so sweet and musical, so
tendcrly sympathetic, that his soul was
touched to know more OF the sweet singer.
He sought her acquaintance, was intro
duced, and found young lady strug-
Cling against the hardships of pecuniary
misfortune to make headway. She was
ambitious to go abroad and study under
great masters in the foreign lands of po-
etry and song. Her genius, her aspra-
tion, and more than all, the nobility of
her character and her modest worth found
ready admiration in the mind of the
young officer. He made her cause his
own, and so readily responded to every
aspiration of her young lite that he
pledged his own fortune to enable her to
go to Italy and there finish her musical
education in the best schools of Florence
and Milan. Poor in purse but rich in
womanly pride, she declined to accept
the gift of so much money. Alone, and
with the aid of money she earned in 10.
cal concerts and private tuition, she Wis.
tied Boston and further progressed to.
ward the fame she wished to achieve.
Her refusal to accept the money increas.
ed rather than diminished the young off
GERS regard for her, and he renewed the
offer to aid Minnie Beals, for such was
her name, with a proposal Of marriage.
They were married in New York one
morning more than four years ago. At
noon on the wedding day the bride sailed
for Italy and the husband started for
Arizona, where he had been ordered on
military duty. frequent letters brought
him tidings Of her success. Her voice
was like a "string Of pearls" said one re-
nowned impressario. Time wore on, and
she made her debut in the finest theatre
OF Florence to dense assemblage of
music lovers. Fortune seemed to smile,
and she secured an engagement to sing
in the leading theatres of Europe. Her
singing in Constantinople elected the
highest praise from the press and the
populace,
During the past year every letter ex.
changed between the two referred to the
happiness reserved tor their reunion.
The aim of their lives seem to have been

Elder Evans, of the Mount Lebanon
On. " Shakers, sent recently this orig.
inal note to the Tribune! 81 propose that
the American government change the
Sabbath to any day of the week except
the Jewish or Mohammcdan Sabbath day.
The Pagan Sunday is, of all others, the
most improper. As Shaker, and my
people observe it as day of rest, as rig
idly as any people. As an American
citizen, proclaiming liberty of conscience
to all mankind, 1 protest against the
seCtarian superstition Of closing the
Worlds Exposition on Sunday. 1t is
not the true scriptural Sabbath. The
government did right in blowing up He'll
Gate on the sabbath. Now let the Christian
clergy blow up the Gates of Hell, open
the Worlds Exposition, free of expense,
to the worlds poor, on the remaining
Sabbath days. Then we may keep any
day, and as many Sabbath days as We
please, unmolested. And we Jews, Qua
kers, Catholics, Materialists, Atheists, and
Protestsnts-will all unite and keep any
day the American government may ap-
point as day of rest to man, beast, and
cook. +. w. EVANS
