county, near Harrisburg, in this State, on
September 6, 1873, and since 1888 has been
more or less in public life. The first posi-.
tion which he held was clcrkship in the
office Of the register Of Dauphin county in
1870 he was chosed Secretary o; the Electo-
raj College Of Pennsylvania, and in ls4I
was elected Clerk ofthe State t.oase of Rep
resentatives. Two years thereafter he was
elected from the Harrisburg district to the
lower House OF Congress,in "a which he served
tive terms, retiring in ls47. In ls4O he was
appointed Governor Of the new Territory of
Minnesota by President Taylor, and contin-
ued in that office until 1858. Mr.. Ramsay
was chosen Mayor Of St. Paul in 1855 and
Governor of the State of Minnesota in 1858,
continuing in that Office until 1862, when
he retired only to take his seat in 1868 in
the Senate Of the United Stases. In 1869 he
was renominsted into the Senate by the Re-
publican legislative caucus on the first bal
lot and served second term in that body,
retiring in 1875. In the early part of that
year there was a protracted struggle in the
Minnesota Legislature over the SUCCESSION of
his seat, which resulted in the choice of S.
j. r. Mcmillan, independent Republican.
While not one of the most brilliant men ia
the Senate, Mr.. Ramsay was a faithful
worker, attentive D. his duties and general
ly sound in his views on public measures.
For some time he served as Chairman Of
the Senate Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads. Since his retirement from the
Senate in March, 1875, Mr.. Ramsay has not
held any public position.

1T is boldly predicted in an article in the
Annales de r Extreme Orient, that before
many years the Chinese question will be-
come as urgent in Europe as it is now in
America. The isolation Of China is thing
of the past, and in a century, II not sooner,
We are told, the Chiuese will become the
principal workman element not only IN
America but in Europe. In fifty years steam
navigation will transport the Chinese at
fabulousy low prices to all parts Of the world.
We shall see arise in the cities Of Europe
Chinese quarters which will cause discon-
tent amonnguur working CLASSES, with whom
they will have seriously to reckon, and the
Chinese element will end by fixing itself
atnonp us like the Jews.
