Edict Against the Use of Opium.

WASHINGTON, August 2O.-The
United States Minister to China has
transmitted to the Department of
State copy of an edict issued by the
Imperial government against the use
of Opium, on the representation of the
Minister of China in London that it's
use was bringing destruction on the
Chinese people. From this edict it ap-
pears that, Notwithstanding the strict
laws forbiddiug the use of opium by
the officials, gentry and soldiers, its
use is extending day by day, and its
terrible results are extending in the
same ratio. The United States Minis
ter thinks that vigorous efforts might
limit the cultivation of the poppy in
China which is increasing rapidly, and
the use of the drug b. officials, gentry
and soldiers. but does not think that
more than this need be expected. In
addition to the home production, opium
is imported into China to the annual
value of over S40,O0O,OOO, principally
from British India. More than ST.
100000, is annually imported into CAL
ifornia for the use of the Chinese of
that State
Another dispatch from the same
source reports that machinery has arr-
we'd from England for the working of
the coal mines near Keeling, Formosa;
that engineers have been sent to con-
struct telegraph line from that port
to Talwan Foo and shat an expert has
been sent to the UNITED States to re-
port upon and develop the oil resources
of the island.

quarters telegraphs as follows 1t is
nervous time for the Russians unit
their strength increases sufficiently to
put them mparatlvely at ease. Any
day blow may fall aud strain their re.
sources to the utmost. The Turks are
actively menacing Russian positions all
around, and by no means allow the
Russians to build on the assurance
that there viii be hard fighting until
the Grand Duke Nicholas gives the
signal to begin Defenders of Schipka

consisting of relays of the Bulgarian

sian division. The second division has
therefore been diverted from its In
tended destication before Pleyna, and
is marching on the Scblpka pass, one
brigade being at Gahrova to day and
an other at Tirnova.
In a visit to the front before Plevna |
was surprised to find that so few rein
forcements as yet had reached the Rus
sian troops holding it. They are un-
questionable inferior in plumbers to
Osman Pasha's army. Compared with
before the battle there is but an addi-
ton of Roumanians and Ithe sixteenth
division. But to-day are crossing the
Danube 5000 reserves to fill up the
gaps in the ninth corps. On the 9TH
er hand, Prince Schackoskoy has
marched his brigade of the 80 infantry
division back to his original position
confronting Osman Pasha. According
ly on the Plevna front, when the ninth
corps gets its compliment the Russians
will have two army corps, the fourth
and ninth, including the forces watch
ing Lovatz and Selvi. I roughly es.
innate the Russian force confronting g
Plevna at from $4,000 to $4,000 men.
There can be no question of their anx-
ious eagerness to be allowed to fight
again. Indeed they do not smother
their murmur at the delay, which I
think will not be as long now as most
people imagine.

The Senate.

A Washington correspondent says
that the political complexion of the
next senate, which meets in special ses,
sion Oct. Is, is as follows: So far az
the politics of the Senators is at pres
ent defined there may be some doub,
about some of the members
Senator Davis, of Illinois, for instance
In this list is put down as an indepen
dent, although he has been placed upon
Committees as a Republican. The total
number of Republicans is 80; Demo.
Gratis. 33; Independent Republicans, /.
There are three vacancies, one from
South Carolina, caused by the retire
ment Of Senator Robertson, and two
from Louisiana, one being the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Senator
West, and the other being known as
the Pinchback vacancy, which has ex-
listed for four or.fve years past. The
applicants for the South Carolina va.
cancy are David T. Corbin, Republican,
and M. G. Butler, Democrat The
applicants for the two Louisiana vacan-
cles are William Pitt Kellogg, Republi-
can, and j. B. Gusts and James Lew
is, Democrats. 1t is expected that these
three vacancies will be filed by Dem
ocrats. In that event the Democrats
would have thirty-six members in the
Senate. Should Senator Morton not
survive as is gravely feared here now,
his successor upon the appointment OF
the Governor, would, of course, be
Democrat This would leave the Res
publlcans with the scanty majority O
two In the Senate, with Davis as an
Independent, and in case of the death
or resignation Of any of the Republican
Senators from the States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi or South
Carolina, the vacancies would be filled
by Democrats, who would thus have
the working control of the Senate.
The way the roster now stands, there
certainly is very fair chance in any
event for Democratic majority after
march 8, 1879.

Brig ham YOung's Political EcOnOms

Brigham Young has been issuing "a
circular embracing various econonic
topics. A few years ago the prophet
had revelation commanding the saints
to kill off all their hogs, which they
did, and pork became as scarce as pietr
Now the Prophet says "Pork Is
imported by the quantity, while With
any degree of care thousands of hoes
might be raised on lucerne, for which
our soil is admirably adapted. The
question too frequently asked, if any
enterprise for the good and prosperity
Of Zion be proposed, is, will it paw =
This is the sel6shness of those who have
means. The welfare of Zion is the Sc
condary consideration, the Immediate
dividend is the first; while Zion shonla
be the first consideration and the diyi-
dend the second. The laboring man IS
next given a slap for asking the 'larg-
est and best wages, which, according
to the circular, results in waste of the
elements around US. The storing OF
grain is strongly urged, as families
will visit the Garth, according to the
word of the Lord and the best me,
| thod, as advised in this circular, is
putting it up in ffty-pound boxes.
Finally, this well-driven spike to hold
the old hulk of Mormonism toge,n-
er, is clinched with the quotation from
the doctrine and covenants, "that the
rights of the priesthood are inseparahly
connected with the powers of heaven,
and that the powers of heaven cannol
be controlled nor handled only upon
the principles Of Righteousness.

The Famine in India.

Although the latest reports of the
Indian famine are somewhat favorably
modified. there is still enough in them
for melancholy speculation. la large
part of Southern India it seems impossi.
BILE to avert great suffering and mortal
ity. But on the other hand, it is
thought that the calamity will not touch
Bengal, and Bombay appears to be tol.
erab;y protected against it; the North
west Provinces and Rajootana are still
in danger The intelligence from
Southern India is the least assuring.
The districts threatened with famine,
unprecedented in severity, cover tract
OF territory seven times as great as that
of England. Their population numbers
from 100000 to 25,000,00O of a
people of peculiar character. Nine
tentbs of them have no property what
ever and are utterly dependent upon
the crops for a subsistence-by no
means plentiful in the best of times.
When the drouth comes, and the small
wages payable in grain caunot be paid
at all, there is literally nothing for
these millions to eat. Already in the
Madras Presidency there have been
about 500. 900 deaths from starvation,
while 100000 human beings are de-
pendent on daily relief, with the pros
pect that the number may be increased
to 20,000,0O0 This, it may be un-
derstood is the second year of want,
and for six months to come there will, /,
In all these districts, be nothing to eat,
nor even grass. Nothing, at least ex-
cept what by difficult transportation
can be carried to these furnishing
bordes. Moreover, this is a weak and
fragile people, which does not stand up
vaIantly against adversely, and though
industrious, has no natural energy to
fall back upon. Finally the country is
a hard one to traverse 1t has no nav
igable rivers, and the greater portion of
no railways Food must be sent to it
by carts drawn by oxen, and the beasts
themselves consume almost as much as
they can draw The population,
brought together in relief camps, will
also escape cholera, if at all by a mira
Gle. The grim estimate is, that after
the best has been done to rescue them
at least 1000 600 Of men must inevi-
tably perish.

For second time the strip of silver sea
that parts England from France has
been passed by a swimmer, with no
other aid than his own strength and
buoyancy This is great achievement
in an athletic sense, and beyond its
mere athletic aspects it implies a won
derful vital power, fol we have no doubt
that the greatest obstacle to its success
ful performance is not the fatigue, but
the refrgerating influence of the sea
operating for so many hours The
men who can endureIthat and have also
the requisite SIX II as swimmers for such
a performance are not numerous. Cap
rain webb's success in swimming the
channel brought him rich reward
from the admiration cfhi countrymen
and that fact can scarcely remain out
of sight in considering the motives of
the present swimmer. In fact, unless
a man ,an 81 upward of $4,000, as
Webb did, for swimming over, he had
better 90 by steamboat. But if people
get in the habit of swimming the chan
nel-which is about twenty eight miles
wide-we shall perhaps get rid OF
that great bore, the referance to Lean
der and Lord Byron and the Hellespont
when swimmers are dicussed, though
we shall have those horrid South Sea
Islanders who swim around outgoing
ships for the first or second day of the
voyage, like so many sharks -Nceo

The peasants Of Roumania are gath
ering their wheat and Indian corn while
the harvest of death is going on in Bull
garia. They live in Villages, and there
are no scattered houses dotting the land
scapes, so that one may travel for miles
over the fat grain covered prairies and
not see single human habit A
correspondent of the London Times de-
scribes the effect upon the traveller as
wearisome, especially when the sun
shines like fiery furnace and the roads
are covered with several inches of dust.
The villages are collections of mud buts.
covered with thatches Of species of
reed to thickness of two feet. The
houses are nearly destitute Of furniture,
and the principal food of the peasants
is lndian-corn meal mixed with water
and half baked into species of rough
pudding. The average Roumauian
peasant is emaciated and water.eyed /;
he looks abject and stupid, he has none
of the sturdiness of figure, brightness
of eye, or healthy appearance of the Bull
garian or servian peasant.
