II mas Deen the pOIlcy OF congress 10 create
homogeneous communities. Its first great
territorial act, the ordinance of 1887,
which has by its fruits been the salvation Of
the nation, has been followed by Others in
general harmony Herewith. The successive
territories and states have been given natu-
raj and reasonable boundaries within fair
differences Of climate and latitude. This
measure proposes all the incongruity Of a
state reaching from the eouth line Of Ten
nessee to Michigan, from Washington City
to northern New York, from the gulf OF
Mexico to southern Illinois, to make two
narrow strips over four hundred and fifty
miles long.
To bind the different portions Of either Of
these together there would no travelled route,
no commerce, but on the other hand every
diversity Of climate, productions and In
terests. Their people are received from
different sources and their habits, customs
and usages of local government are diverse.
But the division We ask for would give our
length with the degrees Of Longitude, with
lines Of migration and M and with
uniform climate; neither part would then bs

ArzoNA-Tbis Territory is fast advancing IN
material progress, and but a very few years will
see IL constitute another star In the glorious con.
stellaiion that symbolizes the Great Republic.
The construction Of the railroad 10 the Colorado
river facilitated communication, induced many
capitalists and experts "a, visit The mines In tho
basin Of The Colorado, and was followed by a large
increase Of production. Arizona journals claim
that the treasure yield Of The Territory was
$1,000 900 in 1877. and will be 5000 900 Ia 1873.
These Ggures are probably much exaggerated, but

WOMAN IN THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE "A novel and
striking feature in connection with the Chinese
Minister'S entertainment in London was the new
departure taken by his Excellency from the estab-
lished custom Of his country in allowing bis wife
to be present TO do the honors as a hostess. What
will his fellow-countrymen in China cay TO such n
concessions TO the foreigner, such a deviation from
their social system? The higher classes Of Chinese,
like true Orientals. keep their women strictly
secluded from the vulgar gaze. Woman's position
in China is not an enyiable one. She is looked
down upon as an inferior, is seldom educated, and
is regarded more in the light Of an appanage than
as q helpmeet, counselor and friend. Even as early
as her entrance upon life she receives G chilling
welcome. Chinese parents invariably desire sons,
no matter bow many children they may have

A CASE OF CoSsCIEscE ?-The following singular
affair occurred in San Francisco recently. Some
may doubt that the ~priekiDgs Of conscience had
anything to do with Johns conduct, and unkindly
hint that be was simply forelaying for comfortable
winter quarters at the expense Of the county
yeII-dressed Chinaman came into the Police
Station Monday night and Informed the Sergeant
in charge that two years ago he had stolen $40 from
the house Of DR.. Joseph Haine, where be was then
employed as q servant. He further stated 10 the
Sergeant that he had been troubled about the matter
ever since, and now was DESTROYS Of being locked up
for his ofense. On being told by the officer that as
two years had elapsed be could not now be punished,
the conscience-stricken Celestial refused 20 leave,
and reiterated bis demand for his share Of justice
az melted out TO offenders in the City Prison.
Finally DR.. Haine was sent for. lie, however,
declared that he did not remember the theft, and as
the Chinaman persisted in his story, told the latter
that il was no matter now, and that he could keep
the money. The penitent heather. however. de-
clared that this would not do, aud again demanded
to be placed behind the bars. Finally he was
persuaded 10 postpone the matter Of his chastise-
ment until Tuesday, when he would have an oppor-
tunity Of laying the matter before the Prosecuting
Attorney. This gentleman declined TO take action
in the matter, and the selfaccused thief, failing TO
secure q prosecutor, finally left in disgust.

OPIUM.-The notorious cases respecting the smug-
CLING Of this drug into the country, in which the en-
gineers Of certain steam coasters are charged with
being implicated, were thoroughly investigated in
the Police Court On Wednesday last. The story was
a long one, and the evidence very conflicting. The
result was a committal Of all three persons charged.
Two hundred tins of opium we're quite a capture; but
the question recurs,-hoW much has come in without
capture. We are told however that the " price Of q
smoke" is now at double the price it was when
opium was licensed. May there not be tricks Of
trade in opium az well as in other commodities, and
may not operators bull and bear the marketl As a
general thing, we find the Asiatic as shrewd as the
Furopean.
