Chinese Uiscinline,

Young, Of the New York Herald,
who is with Grant in China, writes
interesting letters from the Flowery
Kingdom. Among other things, he
wrote the following in a letter; it is
illustrative OF Chinese discipline
The incident took place while making
a Journey by boat ON the waters of
the Upper Peiho, between Tient- Sin
and pekin:
oon.e of our party had gone on the
mandarin's boaa, to be polite to him.
The mandarin was very ell, ana, the
admiral acting as interpreter, a gICcc9t
deal of information, mainly geograph-
ical, was impaired Then one of the
party stepped over to another boat
for the purpose of calling on the
General. The way you make calls
while boating on the Peiho is to hop
from boat to boat, for they all remain
within easy distance of one another,
and there is no trouble in going
through the whole fleet when you are
in visiting humor. One of our
party stepped on another boat. Be
fore he had gone fifty PAGES splitting
squall came over the fields and caught
the sail. The boat began to reel and
bIge over against the bank. The
boatInan rushed toward bis ropes,
but too late. The boat was on it's
beam ends, and the best that could
be done WAS to hold on to the sides
of the deck and keep your feet out
of the water. There was nothing
c;ilamitous in the situation. If the
worst came to The worst you had only
to walk ashore in water Up to Your
knees. But the beat righted again,
and not even that harm was done.
Our Chinese mandarin pulled up in
great excitement Nothing could ex-
ceed his concern-his polite express
sions of concern. The idea that
whom the Viceroy was honoring
should be almost tossed into the
water! Terrible And by China
men, too! Horriblei He would make
an example Of that boatnan. The

Hilton has dealt the tlieving prOles-

had been paid to the abductors of
Charley Ross, and they had succeed

from 200 to %. So the unlucky cap
tain was seized by two OF his Own

own deck. One held his head down,
and another his feet, and third.

close of the punishment the whipped
man knelt before the mandarin,

How the railroad business Is on the
verge of being ovsrdope may be learned
from the following brief but cumpre-
hensire articie from the Harrisburg
IsiegTah of August IL : Things really
look az If New York aud Boston arr TO
have nu,ube OF ttrough lines 70 Pitts
burg. The question involved IN these
schemes Is one of chespuess. 1t I've
only say n such through lines are ever
built, aud their construction Is honestly
performed, that IL. no water put in the
stock, So that the roads need only earn
dividends for what they actually cost,
aud their expense of running on the
cheap abor basis, what is To become OF
the roads which have stock and debts
representing twice or three times the
actual cost of their construction . This
questsn cannot be evadei--it Is far
enc, aud us solution must sooner or
later be reached 10 q manner that vii
fiji railroad circles with wonder and
wrath.

The Democracy are hard on inde-
peRdsat Democrats in the South. Re
Gently in IazOo county, Miss, they
invited IN ex-Confederate captain
named Dixon to do one of several
things: FIRST, to withdraw from the
canvass as an Independent candidate
against the regular Democratic nomi-
nee for sheriff; second, TO leave the
county: third, to take the choice Of
resigning as a candidate, leave the
county. or be shot. Dixon had been
a conspicuous character IN driving
out all prominent Republicans three
years ago, and SO long as he stood by
the organization of the party he was
u good fellow, but when he wanted to
CRAFTY his ambition and run for of
flee as an independent candidate, they
propose to serve him as he served
the Republicans. Such is freedom in
the South.

WE-pELL PHILLIPS, the Abolitionist
n former days, is out IN a circular as
an advocate of a Greenback system
II finance in which the central idea
is that the National Government
should issue al tie money that the
Nation needs. What gave Phillips
National prominence was his eloquent
appeals for the common rights of
inividua,s. His idea of government,
when it relates TO a mans work, OF
business, or pleasure, is that all mon
have common rights; that man
msy be a hod-carIier, or q preacher.
Just as he pieases, with nothing to
interfere excepting desire and capa-
city. Bat Philips has not the ability
20 apply his common rights doctrine
to matters Of finance. He steps to
the opposite doctrine in finance, and
takes ar oDe fell swoop the right OF
any and everybody 10 engage in
iirance but the Nation His ldea OF
finance Is the essence o. centralized

UNDER the Buchanan administration
the twin relics Of --, slavery and
Mormouism, received such encourage
neut that each raIscd the band Of re-.
belii0n. There is bond of sympathy
between slavery aud MormonisIn, 10
this. mat lust Is one OF tbe fundamen-
tai features in them both. There is no
such thing as faithful, marriage rela-
tiou IN slavery. 1t was the profit Of
the master TO have the frequent pro-

the master nIESei. often was party to
the sa!e of his own issue. Iu MOrmeIl-

Jse offensive and aggressive attitude
that slavery aud M"rmopI>m assumed
under Democratic rule has been re-
moved by the Republican party. lis
highest honnrs were won by s60lishing
slavery ana MDrnou!sm, which were
outrageous tio:caes on American civil
cation. The sCg5e>SIveness of slavery
con pelled the Republican organization
70 r-svT: - arms TO subdue slavery.
Murmo0ism Was almost as aggressive
when Abraham Lincoln became PresI-
dent. a Republican Congress imIne-
diate.y passed an act Wskl,g the prac-
tice Of poiigamy unlawful, aud thus the
Republican party had death -grspple
with the two great moral inquiries of
tie age. And now, after a period 0:
eighteen years of rule the Republican
party has crushed out slavery and Nor
