A GIGANTIC SHAM.

Puncture the Chinese empire by
any foreign power, and 1t would be-
found to be Gigantic sham. The pop.
ulation of the cities, as enumerated
by Marco Polo, has given an exagger-.
ated opinion Of the population. Pek-
ing, stated at eleven millions, does
not contain more than seven or eight
hundred thousand ,and Nanking, stated
at the same fabulous population, does
not contain at present population
of more than two hundred thousand ;;
while as to the population Of the entire
empire, no actual census has been
taken for more than eleven centuries,
and no reliable basis exists for maxi
an estimate of the population. The
opinion Of, the wealth Of China is
equally exaggerated, for in what does
this wealth consist? In the agricul-
tural regions, the improvements are
of an economical character; there are
no fences, and the farm houses are a
mere trumpery collection of mud and
straw. There are no great manufac-
tories requiring the investment Of
capital; the mines are not worked to
any considerable extent; there are
no railways. but few steamship COM
panies, and no foreign shipping inter
est. The houses in the cities are very
fragile constructions the boats
upon the rivers and canals are
Of inexpensive material and rude
finish the carts and wagons for trans
portation are of the rudest workman
ship, and there is not road in China
ten miles long over which spring
vehicle can pass in safety. In what,
then, does this imagined wealth re-
ally consist? The masses Of the peo-
pie are miserably poor, and the stras.
gle to maintain life is so great that it
ceases to be boon. AS the Chinese
people prepare their defences with a.
painted curtain screening dummy
soldiers and wooden guns, which be-
come ludicrous when exposed, SO, we
imagine, if the curtain were raised
from the interior Of China, and the
poverty of its resources exhibited, the
fabulous Cathay would be found to be.
a sham .......

Lottie was obliged to interrupt him
that she might throw her arms around
Mrs. Warde's neck, and congratulate
her rapturously. Then Charlie him
self had to be thanked in loving, tear
full ulwhispers; and then SO many pleas
ant little plans were discussed for the
widows future that some time elapsed
before they recurred to the explana-
tion.
"When I had completed my own
business, Messrs. Smithson desired
me to go to Sheffield and make some
inquiries there for them. The drift OF
these scarcely understood when
started, but I soon discovered that
they had reference to certain suspi-
cions they were entertaining"
"But not of sJu, Charlie?"
"No, love; they have never had any
reason to doubt my integrity, and they
have just proved their confidence in it,
by promising me an increase OF
salary. But another of their clerks.
led into temptation by a love Of
gayety-"
IT see it all now," sighed Lottie.
poor AustinP
Charlie resumed:
"My father, for whom, as an old
friend, Messrs. Smithson sent, to as
sist them in breaking the news to his
parents, can scarcely bear to speak OF
the scenes he witnessed. Mrs. Craw-
ley is very ill. The truth was CON-
cealed from her as long as possible.
1t was not until late last night she
learnt that it was to hear the tale Of
her sons guilt that Mr.. Crawley was
summoned to the city and it appears
that no one had suspected how, while
Austin was believed to be quietly
sleeping, he had packed portman-
teau and stolen out of the house in
the dead of night, to embark for
America"
And so Lottie'sjo JOY in her betrothed's
innocence was tempered by the knowl--
edge that il his parents had been hap
PLY spared such deep sorrow, others
were enduring it. .~...
She spent her Christmas eve at Clap
ham, but not in the dove-colored silk.
She was clad soberly in the dark
merino, and heard with dropping head
and troubled conscience, Mrs. Mori-
son tell her how fully she and her
husband approved their sons choice,
and how her conduct as daughter
and sister had won their esteem,
long since. ..
ct am not half as good as you think
mel" Lottie tearfully confessed, and
deepened their interest in her by her
honesty.
After all it was Mrs. Warde who
wore the dove-colored silk at her
daughters wedding. 1t was made up
for her by Lottie herself, who as her
needle passed in and out Of her work,
drew from the events connected with
her purchase the lesson every wise or
foolish deed conveys to the heart
that is opened to receive it.

Two Lovers.

Two lovers BY moss-grown spring;
They leaned soft checks together thera
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,

Two welded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings.
White petals on the pathway slept. .

Two hands above the head were locked:

But all the heads by slow degrees

THERE are statesmen and statesmen.
Every civilized country has double
crop of them. In General R. R. Hemp
hill, of Abbeville, the State of South
Carolina possesses an unique specimen of
the order. The General is a member of
the Lower House in the Legislature of
that State, in which he has introduced
the following concurrent resolution: "Re-
solved, That our Representatives in Con
gress be requested, and our Senators in
structed, to use all proper means to
secure such legislation in Congress as will
prevent any producer of cotton in the
United States from planting more than
six acres Of cotton to each horse or mule
used by such producer in cultivating the
soil" Hemphill (GeneraD is also in
favor of repudiating the State debt of
South Carolina. Hemphilrs head is

FLAT MONEY EXAMPLE.

That "hist0ry repeats ITSELF is as true
of finance as of politics. The doctrine
that money may be created by the fiat of
Government, now recently enunciated, is
not new As long ago as l715 the same doc
trine was promulgated and the expert
ment tried by that military hero and &C.
centric mailman, Charles XII, of Sweden.
In his incompatible history of that
wonderful warrior, Voltaire records that,
after his return from his self-imposed
captivity among the Turks, Charles
found his country almost depopulated by
his wars and altogether ruined in its
finances. Relying on the ready genius of
Baron Gortz the Swedish King appointed
him his Minister of Finance, with in
structions to raise money in some way or
other to meet the exigancies of his king
dom. Baron Gortz, being quite unable
to borrow, proceeded to adopt system
of fiat money.
His procedure was, as the historian
tells us, "to give to copper the value of
silver, 50 that piece of copper, whose
intrinsic value was only halfpenny,
should, when stamped by the Kings
mark, pass for forty pence. This fcti-
tious kind of money (says Voltaire) which
owes its birth to necessity, can be rem
dered current only by being punctually
paid in coin; and is like bills, the
imaginary value of which may easily
exceed the solid funds of a nation.
When this occurs the people become sus-
picious; the ideal money multiplies
space; private persons hide their real
money, and the whole machinery of
government fails into confusion, which is
productive of the most pernicious conse-
quences."
After this general comment on the ma
ture of fat money, the historian proceeds
to inform us of the consequences of this
financial experiment in the case OF Swe-
den. He says: "At first, Baron Gortz
issued his new coin Copper, stamped
with the Kings mark, as silver), with
equal discretion and reserve. But, by
the rapidity of a motion that he could
not restrain, he was soon hurried beyond
the limits which he had originally pre-
scribed for himself. All kinds of goods
and royisions having risen to an inordi-
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-12-26

nate price, he was obliged to increase the
quantity of his fictitious copper money.
But, the more it was increased, the less
was its value. And, finally, Sweden,
deluged as it was by this false money,
set up universal outcry against Gortz's
financial system, which had deranged all
values and ruined all business"
Such is the example afforded by Swe-
den in her experiment of fat money
We commend its study to all modern
expounders of this ancient doctrine.

went to Sheridan to consummate his mar
riage. After arriving there he found that
a marriage license issued in Yuba County
would not answer in Placer, and they re-
solved to return to Wheatland that even
ing. A handcar was procured and the
party started ON their return. Unfortu-
natelv, another party started from Wheat
land about the same time to go to Sheridan
on another hand-car to attend the wedding.
Neither car carried light, and somewhere
between the two places the cars came to-
gether, and the intended bride received in
juries to her legs while sitting on the edge
of the car which rendered the amputation
of both limbs necessary.

steamer Georgia, which was commanded
by Captain Howard, who was charged
with drunkenness at the time the vessel
was wrecked on the coast of South
America. $4,000 worth of bullion and
much of the cargo was rescued, but the
natives stole every thing almost as fast

Later the wreck was sold at auction in

twice that value was recovered, while
there were still thirty-seven barrels of
