FOREIGN SUMMARY y.

The journals announce that Turkish
troops attacked a body of insurgents at
Apidia, Thessaly, and were repulsed with a
loss of forty men.
A DISPATCH from Airolo, Switzerland, at
the south mouth of st. Gothsrd Tunnel,
reports three cases of gun-powder for blast
ing in the tunnel exploded on the 25th of
September. Ten workmen were instantly
killed and several terribly injured.
A VIENNA correspondent telegraphs that
trustworthy private advices mention the
fall of Zwarnick, but it has not yet been
officially confirmed. 1t is known that three
thousand insurgents deserted during the
last few days. The six thousand who
evacuated Tuzla fed in the direction of Novi
Bazar.
IT is officially confirmed that General
Budich occupied Bjeliua, without resist
ance, on the 22d inst. According to AL
accounts, Austrian troops, within two or
three days, will be at Zwornick, whittier the
remaining insurgents have retrea'ed. Cen
eral Jovanovich has arrived before Klobuk,
the last Herzegovinian stronghold. The Joy
| in Austria is universal.

Men Who Make Journalists.

1t has been remarked that very few
men who get into journalism start out
with such intentions. They drift in ac-
eidentally and are prompt as they de-
velop capacity. Money, wealthy par
ents and influence are of no sort of SER
vice in getting young man a place on
newspaper. There is no business that
is SO entirely independent of these con-
siderations as this. A wealthy farmer
can easily get his son location to read
law, medicine, or push him forward in
almost any rank of life he may select;
but he is utterly powerless to do any,
thing for him in journalistic way. To
be sure he may buy newspaper, and
set him up in that way, but unless there
is something in him called Journalistic
knack," natural knowledge of what to
write and how to write it, he will be a
failure in that line, and all the money
and influence of wealth and perhaps
powerful relatives will count for moth
ing. Some fond parents educate their
sons with the special view of making
journalists of them; but it is rare that
we hear of these young men after few
years. Meanwhile, some youth born
! among our hills, having nothing more
than a common school education, and
the knowledge scraped up in a country
printing office, will advance to the front
rank in the profession. He has the
journalistic knack, and forces recogni-
ton because he has it. He gets into n
good position not because he has wealthy
parents to influence the proprietors of
leading newspapers, but because he
knows what to write and how to write
it. His articles go in because they
supply demand while perhaps the
elaborate essays of man educated on
the continent are cast into the waste
| basket.

TRADE WITH CHINA.

J.J. Henderson, United States Consul
at Annoy, China, reports that there is
not only ample room for American trade
in China, but there is large and rich
field for the reception of many Ameri-
can inventions. The people of China
clothe themselves with cotton. No less
than eight billion yards of cotton cloth
are required annually to cover their
nakedness. The annual imports of cot
ton goods are less than one billion yards
The Consul enumerates the various ad-
vantages the American manufacturers
have for obtaining the Chinese trade,
and at the same time shows wherein they
fail to improve their opportunity. The
demand for cotton cloth in China must,
for wears, be almost illimitable. Trans
portation enters largely into-the prob
lem of supplying China with American
goods. The construction of the North
ern and Southern Pacific Railroads and
more especially of the Darien Ship
Canal, are enterprises of the greatest i'm
portance in this connection. A line of
steamer from New York to China by way
of Suez Canal is suggested. If the trans
portation cannot be in American, vessels
then let the fifteen or twenty British
steamers, for instance, that clear from
Annoy for New York annually, be in
duced to return to China direct with
our cotton goods, machinery. etc.
American lead finds large market in
China and might be used as return
freight. The best thing, in the opinion
of the Consul, would be to alter our
navigation laws and throw the ocean
open to American trade and enterprise.
Arrangements for doing our exchange
business with New York instead of
London are much needed. The best
banks in Annoy are not prepared to draw
on New York. More American mer.
chants of modern ideas are needed in
China. Cheap cable communication be
tween San Francisco and Chinese sea
ports is another want. 1t seems to bt
demonstrated that American goods car
be sold in China as cheaply as English
yet no effort has been made to sell ou
cotton cloths of the proper texture il
Annoy. 1t is of the first Importance tha
: American manufacturers and merchant
should know the partic cular styles which
the Chinese people prefer and demand
An expert visiting China would acquir
valuable information on this essentia
I point.

Chronology of Tobacco.

496.-Romanus Pane, Spanish
monk, whom Columbus, on his second
voyage, left in America, published the
first account of tobacco under the name
of "Cohoba."
1535.-The negroes on the plantations
in the West Indies began to use it,.
1559.-Jean Nicot, envoy from France
to Portugal, sent some of the seeds to
Paris, and from him it acquired the
name of Nicotiana. When it was first
used in France it was called "Herbe du
Grande Prieur," of the house of Lorraine,
who was very fond of it. 1t was called
"Herbe de St. Croix," from Cardinal
St. Croix, who first introduced it into
Italy. ...
157O-At this date in Holland to-
bacco was smoked in conical tubes,
made of palm leavs plated together.
1575.-First appeared print OF the
plant in Andre Thevet's Cosmographie.
1585.-The English first saw the In
dams of Virginia use clay pipes, from
which time they began to be used in
Europe.
1604-James the First of England
sought to abolish the use of tobacco by
very heavy imposts upon it. t..s..
lOlU.-1ue SulOkluS VI 1opdCCo was
INDUCED in at Constantinople. To
render the custom ridiculous, a TUX,
detected thus using the plant, was led
through the streets with pipe thrust
through his nose.
l6l5.-The cultivation of tobacco was
begun in Holland.
16l9.-James the First ordered that
no planter cultivate more than one hun
dred pounds.
162O-Smoking introduced into Ger
many.
163l-First introduced into Austria
by Swedish troops.
1634-The use of tobacco forbidden
in Russia under the penalty of having
the nose cut off.
I653.-First used in Switzerland
where. the magistrates at first punished
those found smoking; but the custom
soon became too general to be sup
pressed.
l690.-Pope Innocent MI excommu
nicated all who should take snuff or u.s.
tobacco while at church.
1724.-Pope Benedict revoked tn
above Bull, as he himself used tobacc'
immoderately.
