A Chinese History, in eight volumes, of
the French and German War has recently
been presented to the Library Of the Brit
ish Museum, The authors, Wang Taou
and Chang Tsung- -leang, as stated in the
preface, collected the materials for their
work from foreign newspapers, and the
account they have compiled from these
daily utterances is highly creditable to
their critical and editorial abilities In
the present state of Europe the authors
find parallel to the condition of China
about 500 Years before Christ. and as that
was one Of the most disturbed periods in
Chinese history, they evidently consider
that peace is not likely long to continue
among us. In fact. the only prospect they
see of avoiding hostilities is in firm ALI
ance between England. France, Russia and
Prussia The history begins with a gen.
eral sketch of Europe. and then proceeds
to the immediate causes of the war. The
celebrated interview between Benedict,
who is called "Peen- ni-teh-ti," and the
King of Prussia, at Ems, which appears as
"Imsze," the various battles, with the
crowning disaster at "Sze-tan" (Sedam, f.,
and the siege of Paris, are all fully de-
scribed. and the book closes with the cleo
ton of "Mak- -ma-han" as President of the
French Republic.

Cooking Bread for Almost Nothing.

There was exhibited in Hartford last
week recent invention, which may rev.
olutionize the cooking stove 1t is an oil
cooking and officiating and Illuminating
stove, made of galvanized cast and Rus
sian iron. 50 that it will last Tor years
without repairs. Ordinary Kerosene oil
is used, and the combustion is SO perfect
that the gases are consumed, and no
smell of oil, gas, or smoke is emitted a
child can work the stove. and accident is
well-nigh impossible, as the stove is insu-
lated from the oil reservoir, and heat can
not radiate to the oil At trial of the
cooking stove recently, the first batch Of
bread was perfectly baked in 25 minutes,
and the second batch in 23 minutes, at a
cost of less than one halt cent for bak-
ing, and cold flatirons were made Kissing
hot in six minutes.

Across the Canada border come notes
of discomfort at the working OF reciprOci-
ty; of So much of it, at least, as is pre-
served in the treaty OF Washington. The
fishermen of the extreme easterlv pro-
vinces are soured about it; the owners of
inland shipping complain the backwoods-
men Of British Columbia are malcontent.
They agree in thinking the advantages
of the compact all accrue to the Yankees,
and while they do not gird lis directly

rendered their interests in negotiating the

If the home government comedies ary-
thing to the colonies, it is upon a careful
calculation that the benefits OF the con

and taxable power. To England its col

II is also the year in which an Opposition
lIouse,of Representatives, the first since the

the wear of the tWenty-thrd election OF Il
President of the United States. All OF these
events are sure to be OF great interest "nt.
importance, especially the two latter; and
all OF them and everything connected with
them will be fully and freshly reported and
expouLded in TIE Sun.
The Opposition House of Representa-.
-tiyes, taking up the line of inquiry opened
wears ago by THE Sun, will stcrnly and
diligently investigate the conceptions and

for a new and better period in our national
history. Of all this THE Sun will contain
complete and accurate accounts furnishing
its readers with early and trustworthy intor-
nation upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-tlliId Presidential election,
with the prepati lis for it, will be memora-
BILE as deciding upon GRANTS aspirations
for a third term of power and plumber, and
still more as deciding who shall be the al.
didate of the party OF reform, and as clectng
that candidate. Concerning all these sub
iects. those who read~'TH Sun will have
the constant means Of being thoroughly
well informed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readcrs'ih every State and

will see their numbers doubled. 1t will

U The New. York Republican
State Convention met at Saratoga,
August. %, to nominate their eandi-
date for Governor. Gov. Morgan
was nominated on the first ballot as
follows: Morgan, 242 ; Eyarts, 1876;
Robertson. "a /; Townsend. IS. Whole
number of votes, 40; necessary for
a choice, 2O6. The selection. of the
old war Governor, despite the weight
he must carry, renders it essential
that the Democrats should make an
equally wise and prudent selection,
and they will carry the State by an
Overwhelming majority. The secret
of Morgan's success was his money.
The chief source of his wealth is
from railroad jobbery in and about
the Legislature when the State rail
roads were consolidated and the
very large commissions he won out
of the Government during the war.
But for all this Mr. Morgan will have
to face the music. -

THOUGHTS FoR THE PEOPLE.
BY GREYBEARD.


To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Once on a time, and that time
during the present Centennial year,
two gentlemen, strangers to each
other-the one Baptist, and the
other a Presbyterian minister, found
themselves in stage coach, running
between two Virginia towns. The
Baptist preacher mistoolx his Pres
byterian brother for Philadelphia
drummer, of whom he had heard, and
for whom he had conceived dislike,
so said but little during their ride,
while the Presbyterian said still less.
On reaching their destination, the
Baptist noticed the Presbyterian
whispering to the landlord, and
pointing at.him.
As soon as opportunity offered,
he asked the landlord what his COM
panion de voyage had said about
him, to which the landlord replied
he said this: "I want a room. and
please. do not put me in the same
room With that Baltimore drummer
do not like his conntenance."
These men stand high in their. re-
spectiye churches, and only had to
know, to love each other. Do not
form hasty conclusions; little civ
ility at least, is due strangers. An
oyster possesses no more dignity
than any other fish.
Some fanciful writer's seem fond
of projecting them mseIves into the
next century, aud describing things
as they imagine they will then ap.
