The Postal Service.

The international postal treaty has
been signed. All the changes adopted
look towards uniformity of charges
throughout the world. Except in the
India and trans. United States the SER
vices are uniform. Separate proposals
concerning the use of exchange letters
with declared value and of International
money orders are adhered to only by the
greup of countries composing the cont.
nent of Europe. Book packets OF two
kilogrammes can be sent throughout the
postal union. The right Of Japan to
control her own postal service entire is
admitted in principle. The British and
French postofiees are to be shortly re-
moved from Japan. The postal union
treaty is to take effect in April, 1879.
Switzerland continues administrator of
the postal union with an international
bureau at Berne.

"Spare the Rod"

To spare the rod does not spoil the
child. In the words of Mrs, Malaprop,
"there is too much castigating with
malice before thought" There is not
one child in one hundred that needs the
application of the birch, while seventy
out of every hundred are either boxed,
strapped or thumped every week they
live. Furnishing children ID a relic of
the barbarous ages which has been pre-
served and handed down from genera
ton TO generation without cause, and
greatly to the detriment of the moral
standard and physical development OF
the human race. he who serves from
love serves with greater fidelity than be
who serves from fear. A child that bears
the rump of harsh thimble thunp in
to his Sunday school class may repeat
with apparent enthusiasm the story Of
Abel's sacrifice, but deep down in his
youthful heart beats impulses akin to
those Of Cain. Human nature partakes
more of the spirit of revenge than Of
forgiveness, and child smarting un-
der the lash looks upon punishment as
a spiteful dealing rather than measure
OF parental love. A Pennsylvania
mother who is member OF the Society
Tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, recently punished her daughter in
a most savage manner with horsewhip
because she persisted in keeping the
oompanionship of young woman Trend
whom her mother disliked A short
time afterward the body of the girl was
found floating in the river. A Missouri
father recently threw an unabridged
edition of Webster's dictionary at his
son, breaking his nose, because the boy
innooently broke pane of glass with a
bean shooter. The boys Disagreement
will be constant modification to him
and will tend to dwarf his moral nature
through life, as Byron's deformed foot
soured his disposition and made him an
irascible man. 1t does not pay to bruise
the body of child any more than it
pays to bruise ripening fruit. Bury the
rod as the Indian buries the Ratchet. 1t
means peace-peace to the conscience,
peace to the lody, peace to the hearth
stone. Reconciliation comes not by the
rod, nor pacifcation by hostile frowning.

Chinese Education in America.

An institution of considerable interest
is the Hartford Chinese mission" OF
school, which have been in active ex.
istence for the past six years. It is
situated in a large, handsome building
in one of the pleasant quarters of the
city, and was erected by the Chinese
government at cost of fifty thousand
dollars
Of the scholars belonging to the mis-
sion there are now one hundred and
twelve. The whole expense of their
education, which is no less than one
hundred thousand dollars year, is paid
by the Chinese government, and each
scholar is being trained through course
of study covering fifteen years, his final
destination being to become an official of
his own empire.
The system of education at this
remarkable school is twoafold. They are
instructed both in the Chinese language,
literature, geography, history and other
learning, and in English and the western
branches of study; in western mathe-
MATES, history, grammar, geography,
and 80 ON. They are governed and
trained by body comprising two "con-
missioners,' who have tho chief supervi>
sion and control of the school, trans
lator and Interpreter, and two professors.
The scholars are divided into classes Of
twenty each, and only ore class resides
and receives instruction at the mission
at the same time. The rest are usually
attending school in the meanwhile in
neighboring towns and villages, or
receiving instruction in private families.
The chief commissioner in charge Of
this singular institution, and whose idea
it wa to establish it, is very note>
worthy man. His name is Yung Wing.
Born in China of humble parents, he
received some education at the hands of
the wife OF an English missionary. Then
he entered an English school at his native
place, and made such rapid progress in
our language and elementary studies,
that he attracted the attention of a
wealthy and benevolent gentleman, who
brought him, at the age OF sixteen, with
two other Chinese boys, to the United
States. He attended an academy in
Massachusetts, and in due time entered
Yale College.
In college be showed remarkable tai
ents, and Won sonle prizes tor English
composition, and graduated with honor
at the end of the four years. course. He
became a firm Deliver in Christianity,
and for time thought OF entering the
ministry, but finally determined to
devote himself to his mission, its object
having been the study of his life. After
persuading his government to adopt it.
he was properly selected as the best per-
son to put it into effect. Yung Wing is
now about fifty years of age. and is not
only an accomplished gentleman, but
fine scholar and an earnest Christian.
The result of the education of so many
young Chinese, and of their return to
take part in the affairs Of the government
can not but be very important in its
influence on the future of the celestial
empire" It's, perhaps, one of the first
and most effective steps towards bringing
that ancient people up to the standard,
and comforting upon them the blessings
of wisdom and Christian civilizat ion.

Cultivation Of Spinach.

The French call this desirable vegetable
the "scavenger of the stomach" because
it is 30 healthful an article of food in the
early spring time, and in the city mar
kets it always finds plenty of purchasers,
but it is not cultivated in the country as
plentifully as its merits demand. Cowslips,
dandelions and beet greens supersede it
almost entirely but to my taste none of
them equal spinach in the delicacy of its
flavor. 1t is gross feeder, requiring q
rich, heavy soil to grow it as rapidly as
it demands (it will not flourish in poor,
sandy garden), butjif the seeds are sown
very early they will come forwardly
quickly and make very paltabIe addi-
ton to the table. There are two kinda of
spinach-th round leaf, for spring plant.
ing, and the pointed leaf, prickly
spinach, which is used. for fall planting,
and can be sown early in October, in
rows 60 far apart that they can be kept
free from weeds. When snow threatens,
the beds can be covered with stable litter
or dried leaves, and the plants will need no
care until the frost is out of the ground,
when the soil can be dug up lightly and
a top dressing of manure given.
ute Culture and Manufacture in the South
There is now in progress of organize
ton in Charleston, S. c., a factory for
the manufacture of cetton bagging from
jute, which, it is said, will be operation
in less than two months. Jute seed has
been distributed by the agricultural
society OF that state to about sixty
planters along the coast, 80 that it is be-
lieved that within very short time the
south will raise, spin and weave jute
not only for its own use, but for other
districts. The culture and manufactur-
ing Of jute have become very extensive,
as a million acres of land in India are de.
voted to its cultivation, and one factory
near Calcutta employs 1000 workmen,
"nhO o." OuhACu3 AA 0COsiau0, tucTS aFc
said to be about q hundred iute mills,
employing some 10000 operatives.
1t is believed that the south can grow
jute as successfully as India can, and
manufacture it as proftably as it can be
done if the import duty on jute be al.
lowed to stand until the southern plan
tation and factories are allowed to have
a fair start. To some extent the culti-
walton and manufacture Of iute are an
experiment, and unless there be pros
pect OF handsome returns, neither Plant
ers nor manufacturers will want to have
anything to do with it. Notwithstand-
ing this, it is proposed, just as the plan
tations and factories are about to make
. beginning, to reduce the duty on jute,
and expose such enterprises to compe>
tition that did not exist and was not ex-
pected when they were projected. This
is neither polite nor just, for, so long as
the protective system exists, its benefi-
cent effects should be felt by all young
industries, whether in the north or south. |

A WORD TO CAPITALISTS.

The TRIBUNE has referred several
times in the past to the advantages af-
forded at Cheboygan for the establishing
a dry dock, Each successive season,
with its disasters occurring in this vicin-
ity, demonstrates the necessity of a dry
dock somewhere in this section. We
think there can be no question that it
would prove an enterprise profitable to
the projectors and of economy to the
vessel interests. Every season there are
u greater or less number of accidents oc-
curing in this vicinity, which makes it
necessary for the injured crafts to be
placed in dry dock for repairs. As it is
now, they have to be towed to either
Manitowoc, Milwaukee or port Huron.
This necessitates a large expenditure in
the way of tow bills, to say nothing OF
the expense of steam pumps frequently

to cargoes from delay in getting repairs.
A great proportion of this expense could

could be great saving of time, which is
a mattor of considerable importance, We
should Judge that the business would

with accident i'm the straits. but had
there been n dry dock heie, there would,
doubtless, have been many other vessel
that could have been brought here and

other locality.
In view of the aboye facts we would
invite the attention of capitalists to the
advantages afforded for an investment
We feel satisfied that an Investigation
would convince them that they could
safely calculate on receiving ample re-
turns for the money invested. We are
confident that it is only question Of
time until dock will be established al
this port. If parties with means desire
to secure a paying business, they should
take hol OF the matter now, before 9th
