The Chinese and silver.

"Burleigh, writing from a Pacific
Mail steamer, bound for China, and
loaded with Celestials returning to.
the Flowery Kingdom, says:
"Six hundred dollars is the fortune
the average Chinaman marks out for
himself. He knows nothing but sil-
yer He won't touch checks, green
backs or nickle. The common dol
lar he viii have nothing to do with.
The California coin alone has CHAINS
for him. When his $500 are earned
he takes his bag on his back and
starts for home, to marry and live az
a nabOb. Quite as many Chinese
leave for home as arrive st San Fnsu-- /
ciscO." -
Here are 400 millions Of the most ,
conservative people on earth. Ey-
erything else is subsidiary to silver.
Gold, jewels, articles Of use and lux
ury are all valued by the quantity of.
silver it viii take to purchase them.
This 400 millions Of active, industri-
GUS, thrifty, trading people, Is a
greater number than there Is IN all
Europe. They do not use as much
silver per capita as the more ad7ane-
ed nations Of Europe do, but still
the aggregate quantity used among
such a dense population is simply so
immense as to defy calculation.
That they viii continue to so val
ne and use silver is as certain as any
thing human can be. Even ifsH the.
world should demonetize the metal
it would produce no appreeiable ef-
feet upon China. We would profit
by the fall Of the price Of silver to
buy our teas and silks and fre-erack-
ers cheaper, but Chinese would 20
ahead heapingup their silver fortunes,
passing the barbarian dollar" from
hand to hand in the way Of trade,
reaping immense commercial advant-
ages from the increased trade which
would spring up from the cheaper
circulating medium.
What is true Of China is also, but
in a less degree, Of India. The pop
ulation there is fully two hundred
millions, but it is not so wealthy as
that Of China, nor hardly so impervi-
Gus to new IDEAS.
Here we have six hundred millions
Of people, or nearly half the popula-
tion of the globe, in one mass, who
/. are and practically always viii be, as
de7out believers in the value Of sill
yer es they are in their own exist
ence. They viii form bulwaEk for
the support of the monetary char
aeter of the metal against which the
oristic crudities and financial combi-
nations may dash as vainly as the
waves against the stom-beaten rocks
of the Toledo Blade.

How He Startled Her.

A wboop-bang sort of boy, with feet
as broad and fiat as a pie-tin trotted
along the Central Market yesterday
till he reached a stall kept by single
woman about thirty years old. Halt
ing there, he yelled out:
Say! say! Your little boy has been
run over and killed up by the City
Hail."
"Ohl OIL -Heavens-Oh! OH" she
screamed as she made a dive under the
counter, came up on the outside, and
started to follow the boy. After going
ten feet she halted, looked very foolish
a of a sudden. and remarked:
"What a goose I am! Why, I amt
even nqTried!"

The banyan tree Of India is some
times found to spread out so as to show
with one parent trunk three hundred
and fifty stems descending, and again
taking root in the ground, each stem
equaling a large oak tree, while there
are thousands Of smaller ones. This
tree is so expanded as to form a small
forest Of itself, wherein 1000 persons
could stand.

You know my opinion Of female so
ciety. Without it we should degene-

plies with tenfold force to young men
and those who. are in the prime Of man
hood. For, after a certain time Of life.
the literary man may make shift, {,
Door one 1 grant, to do without the So
cietv of ladies'. To the young man
nothing is so important as the spirit of
devotion. next to his Creator, to some
amiabIe woman, whose image may Oc-
cupv his heart and serve to guard it
from pollution, which besets it on all
sides. A man ought to choose his wife,
as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding gown
for qualities that ''wear we'll" One
thing. at least, is true, that if matri-
monv has its cares, celibacy has nc
pleasures. A Newton or a mere schOl-
ar NAV find employment in study; a
man Of literary taste can receive in
books a powerful auxiliary; but man
must have a bosom friend and children
round him to cherish and support the
dreariEess Of Old aga.-J9lIp R1nGoiDF.

The oak can never be cut so profit
ably as when at maturity, having plenty
of heart-wOOd. The timber is seldom
of much value until the tree is 100 years
old. The ash, on the contrary, can be

elms should not be cut until eighty or
one hundred years old.
