Forgetfulness.

A great deal of harm is done through
forgettuness. A little thoughtfulness and
care with respect to Others would often save
them from great deal of suffering, and aid
them in their work. A man is discouraged
III consequence of the difficulties he meets
with. An encouraging word may be all that
is necessary 10 revive his energies aud cause
him to persevere. That word We're easily
spoken. There are those who are perfectly
willing to speak it, but they do not think OF
it. They are busy with their own work
The discouraged one sinks deeperin despond-
ency, not through their heartlessuess, but
their want of thoughtfulness. A young man
is exposed TO temptation lie is about to
take step IRON which little influence OF
the right kind will save him There are mum
bers among his acquaintance who could ex
ert that influence, but they do not see the
danger, or are so busy that they must leav,

little effort rightly put forth would have

Of Unionism throughout the entire land.
When the people are SO aroused to the du-
plicities and dangers OF Democratic rule as
they were In Warren County, In that State,
for example, where the Democrats have
had control for twenty-seyen consecutive
years, as to throw of the yoke and assume
new political burdens, there must be some
strong and lasting motive at the bottom Of
it. Aud this motive exhibits itself all over
the country in a determination to put an
end to the subserviency OF Northern Dough-
faces to the Southern Democracy. The lat
ter have ruled the Democratic roost just
long enough since the war TO expose the
true inwardness OF Democratic national
supremacy. The people are beginning to
understand what they must expect If they
permit the Doughiace Democracy of the
North to hand tho Government over TO the
bourbon Nullifiers Of the South. This ac-
counts for the Republican majority, on the

The Chinese Question,

To The Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Our childhoOd's knowledge Of China
was gained from geography, which declared
that the earth was round, and that this coup-
try was at our antipodes.
The blue china dinner set OF our grand
mothers, of the willow pattern" represented
a pagoda, a bridge, and a willow tree, with
boats and men that wero all marvels of art to
juvenile eyes. Tho products of Oriental lux.
ury have been closely initiated by Europeans,
but still the looms and potterios of France and
England fail to give the embroidered silks and
Grape and exquisite china Of the Celestiais,
while at our own Centennial and the Paris
Exposition the "Heathen Chinee" took the
front rank In household decoration Of carved
wood aud ivory and in ornamental bronzes
Exclusiyeness has been u marked character
istic Of this nation but the Chinese wall that
guarded them from Tartar msrauders and out
side barbarians did not exclude the Anglo
Saxon race from their scaboard and the most
skillful diplomats of England and France WED
with each other In Openinga channel for trade
that would Gil their own Golfers with the treas
ures Of Cathay.
America did not know when she sent tho
young republican, Anson Burlingame, In 1865,
as Minister PlenipOtcntiary 10 China, that he
would accomplish what Sir Henry Cram ptOn
and the French Embassy had failed TO do-Ob.
tain the confidence Of the Chinese government.
But SO it wus. Not only was the proposed
treaty agreed to, but the position was offered
to Mr.. Burlingamo Of ambassador from Chin a
to represent the interests Of that country at the
courts of Europe, which, with the consent OF
our Government, he accepted.
The six Mandarins, with Mr. Barlingame as
their chief, first visited the United States, aud
those who witnessed their reception by the
Senate and House of Representatives In 1855
will remember the impressive occasion. 81
anxious were our authorities to consummate
the treaty then formed that they could mol
wait for tho approval of the Emperor of Chiua
and Mr.. MOri, the Minister here. was induced
to pledge the consent Of his sovereign long be.
fore the paper could obtain the royal sigma,
ture. The result has been that American
merchants are protected In the ports Of China
and prncely fortunes have been made by til.
increasing trade. OF course the advantage.
were reciprocal; the Chinese came, not a,
coolies, but as laborers, TO the Pacific coast
where their patience, industry dociity, and
skill have made their services invaluable
The objection 10 them now made Is that they
demand small wages and spend but little o
their earnings" but their skilled in
duStry is developing tho resources
