Word eomcs from the Atlant

Word comes from the Atlantic side that American and British ship masters are concerned at the proba- bility of the Chinese becoming ocean carriers, owning and running ships and steamers in inc trade with foreign nations. In view of the tact that the Chinese have become masters of inland navigation in their own coun- try, and that nearly all the steamers employed in Chinese waters are own- cd and managc&by them, the con- tingcncy now debated cannot be re- garded as impossible or remote. It Is rot very many years ago that steam navigation was introduced on the rivers and in the ha1bors of China, and Americans and Europ- cans eontcnded in active rivalry for
 .
 the possession of the lucrative traffic Heavy merchandising houses, with. immense capital invested, established in Chinese ports, by men fIom the United States and Great Britain, and these possessed the rich trade in teas and silks and opium. Already all this is changed. The great rivals never dreamed of any competition except from each other. They cer- tainIy did not suspect, d,nger,,from the Chinese. Yet, this was exactly the source from which it did como, and so powerful has been its effect that not only have the Chinamen driven the Americans and Europ- cans from the rivers, but they have forced the last remaining large Amer ican house in Chinese ports into bankruptcy, and now mOnopOlize the enormously rich trade which in early years proved so profitable to mer- chants, of whom the once famous house of Russell, Sturgis & Co.,, was the last type. It is impossible for Caucasians to contend with the Mongolians in the walks of trade and labor. And it is not an inop- perfume time for those who wonld force cOolie labor and Chinese immig- ration upon the country, merely for their own profit, to the great damage of tradesmen and wcrkingmen, to learn this important fact. The com merce between the United States and China has ineontrovertibly demonstrated that for every dollar drawn from that Empire ten goes thither from this country.

In the whole range of sacred and profound literature, perhaps there is nothing recorded which has such staying properties as a good healthy mortgage. A mortgage can be de. pended upon to stick closer than d brother. It has mission to per form which never lets up. Da. af- ter day it k righ' h TO, no. do. h slightest tci:deaev tT sigm .er -mIai it's vi="r ill tfc -hl \ gnt q day, on the sabbath, and at holiday times, without a moments time for rest and recreation, the biting of spring fits existence, interest, gaes on. The seasons may change, days run into weeks, weeks into months and months be swallowed ur into the gray man of advancing years, but that mortgage stands up in sleep ful vigilance, with the interest, per enial stream, ceaselessly running on. Like a huge nightmare eating out the sleep of some restless slumberer, the unpaid mortgage rears up its gaunt front in perpetual torment to the miserable wight who is held within its pitiless clu;ch. It holds the poor victims with the relentless grasp of giant; net one hour of recreation; not a moments evasion of its hideous presence. A genial savage of notifying aspect while the interest is paid; very devilof hope less destruction when the payments tall. ~

An Ancient City.

Ayodhya is one of the sacred cities of
India in the province of Dude, and is
the cradle of the Hindoo and Buddhist
faiths. Three thousand years ago it
was in its glory, but it is now consider
ably run down. Nevertheless some of the
principal temples and other objects of
interest are kept up. One of the chief
attractions is the Hanomangarhi, or
Monkey Temple. Within its walls
dwell 600" Disciples of the Silent Sect"
They live as monks do, and pass most
of their time in solid incidence. There
are in Ayodhya seven cloisters of this
order, each of which is presided over
by an abbot. These are the "Silent
Sect" the Standardization" Sect,
the /" Naked" Sect, the +" Ash. Besmear-
ed" Sect, the Dumb" Sect, the " Pa
tient" Sect, and the +" Provisionless"
Sect. The men who compose these
sects are supported by, the revenue of
land set apart for the purpose and by
the gifts of pilgrims. AYodhya contains
a tomb of Seth, one of Job, and one of
Noah. Noah's grave is "a feet long
and 2 feet wide. The great Fair Of
Ramnammi, which is held annually at
Ayodhya, has recently closed. It at
tracted this year nearly q million of
pilgrims. The name of the place
means "The uncomfortable city of

Some Habits In Madeira.

The Portuguese are not a clean peo-
pie, which may be one of the causes OF
English repugnance to them. Some OF
their customs are very nasty. They ex-
pectorate continually, and before doing
SO make horrible, long-drawn, whirl-
ing noise up the throat, which is very
annoying. They seem to do this once
in every two or three minutes, and make
quite an art oft; for little boys practice
it, and young men seem to take pride in
doing it well. There is also great deal
of hat lifting to one another among the
men, and from observation should say
that the art of expectoration, with the
proper noise, and the art of lifting the
hat, were two things that the native
male youth of Madeira first learned.
The presence of lady does not deter
the men from the former nasty habit,
and the Portuguese ladies have been
known 10 indulge in it also, as they
hang over the balconies, so that it is
well to keep the middle of the street in
walking. There is small public prom
enade called the 'Praca, laid out with
trees and seats, where band OCCASION
ally plays. The English seldom fire.
quent it, but The Portuguese gather there,
the men in groups together, and the
women in groups. The horrible noises
and expectoration going on all around
one there are sickening. The band
might be termed a performance on
drums and cymbals, with an accompani-
ment of wind instruments, for the Por-
tuguese love noise.-Iemple Bar. =

An Ingenious Thief.

A quickwitted rogue has recently
managed to rob the director Of q Lon
don banking establishment of q travel
ing bag, containing $4,000 in gold,
while on his way from London to Paris.
Having remarked that . man seemed to
follow him with suspicious persistency,
when he arrived on board the Calais
boat the director took the precaution
to place the precious bag on one of the
seats of the cabin, and to use it as q
pillow. In this position he fell asleep,
but was suddenly awoke by . tug at the
bag. He jumped up, but as the man he
found near him simulated drunkenness
he kept his suspicious to himself. On
reaching Calais the traveller placed the
bag on the seat of . first-class carriage,
and as he was its only occupant stood
Is sentinel at the door. But the ingen-
ious thief was not to be outdone. Slip
ping round behind the train, he entered
by the opposite door and possessed him
self of the treasure, while the bank di-
rector was looking for him among the
crowd on the platform. The police
were immediately informed ofthe affair,
but no trace Of the thief could be found.

had been thrown over the fence by a

So he called that afternoon, and Edith
managed to get remarkably well ac-
quainted with him in so short time.
After that there were morning calls and
afternoon rambles to the s'cliffs," and
Of course it was the old, old story over
again. One day, Just on the spot where
they had first met, he told her he loved
her, and won q similar confession from
her sweet lips. And then-but of
course you know-they forgot for the
next hour that they were not the only
persons in the world. Finally, Edith
told her lover of MIR. Chester, and that
her father expected her to marry him.
ssBut I shall not marry him now"
said Edith, s'unless," with q rOguish
look, ''you particularly wish me to do
do So" ~, 20 '.-'
He did not answer, except to fold her
more closely in his arms and kiss the
red lips so temptingly near.
And you will not marry that man?"
"Of course not!" said Edith.
"And you are sure you love me, dar-
ling?"
Having been assured on this point, he
proceeded. 81 ~

free herself from his arms. "The fact
is, I saw you before you started for Scar

with you, dear; and when your father
told me you had rather romantic no.
tons on the subject of love, we entered
into plot against you. Fate seemed to
favor me; and, after all, it was much
nicer, wasn't it?"
But Edith told him he was a wretch,
and that she would never forgive him.
We rather think she changed her mind,
though, as there was q wedding at Mr..
Darling's in few weeks, at which Miss
Edith changed her name not to Smith
but to Chester.-English Magazine.
