The Emperor OF China has issued an edict
abolishing the sale OF Offices Strangely enough.
a writer in the Shen Pdo. n Chinese newspaper
which has gained distinction and substantial
reward by its bold advocacy OF reform. and by
its war upon official corruption, takes ground
against the imperial decree, and urges that
Offices be offered for sale at high price instead
Of being Knocked OF at the comparatively low
figures heretofore bid for them. The writer
urges Ms a reason for tho adoption OF the course
suggested by him that the treasury will be re-
plenished by the large sums paid into it; I'M
1T persons will be unable to buy themselves into
lofty stations. and men OF wealth and ability will
have better chance Of. and greater relish for.
official distinctions" Many Americans may DO
somewhat surprised to learn that the Mandarlns
who come into business or diplomatic relation
ship with foreigners are OF VIGOROUSLY inferior
standing:

Real estate owners in Boston are not sat

chusetts. which holds the owner OF property
where alcoholic liquor is sold responsible for
any damage resulting from the sale 1t is feared
that the law will make drunken husbands. in
tho manipulation OF crafty wives. a profitable
source Of income. and that It will tend to still
further depress real estate in Boston. which al
ready is burdened heavily. The enforcement
Of the law may also result in some interesting
developments in regard to the ownership Of
buildings in which barrooms are kept. The
Boston correspondent Of the San Francisco Call
AYERS that many Of the buildings in which

The project Of n railroad across the Sa-
hara Is still discussed in France. and the plan
some time since proposed by NJ. DuPoNCHEL-
namely. a line running from AlRers to Tim
buctoo. a distance OF some $500 Kilometres
still appears to be regarded with much favor.
He asserts that the principal portion OF the line
which he iavors would rest during its whole
extent nearly on layers Of sand. and toward the
end on primitive volcanic rocks. granite and
gnelss. and no mountainous Instructions would
have to be encountered. The average heat does
not appear TO exceed 73 2-5 degrees. or 75 l-5
Fab. though account has to be taken OF the
great variations which occur in tho twenty four
hours-for instance. occasionally. n very cold
night succeeds n temperature Of l0i degrees
Fab. in tho day time. The great difficulty to ba
overcome will be the want Of water which is
not to be procured in thht region. NJ. DuPoN-
cHEL calculates. however. that for three trains
daily tho amount Of water required would DO
1000 cubic metres and that the engineering
science Of tho day is quite sufficient to supply
even q much greater quantity.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable Observation-Disclosures Man
drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

"A Washington special to the New York
Tribune says: "The resolution of Senator
Window, relative to the migration of colored
people from the South, has had some effect.
The Senator was visited to-day by delegations
of colored people from six of the Southern
States, including among their number Profes-
sor Greener, Senator Bruce and Representa-
tives Cain, Smalls and Rainey, all of whom
said they were disposed to favor Mr.. WINDOWS
scheme if he was in earnest. Mr.. Window
was told that the colored people were not sat-
isfed with their condition; that they would be
willing to move, and that local clubs have al
ready begun to agitate the question. The del
egation thought that 100000 able-bodied col
ored laborers could be induced to leave their
homes if they should have even moderate as
surance that they would improve their condi-
tion. Senator Window assured the delega.
ton that he was thoroughly in earnest, and
that he had no political purpose to accomplish
by his resolution"
