China.

At the departure of the children of
Israel from Egypt, China was 700 years
old; and when Isaiah prophesied of her
she had existed fifteen centuries. She
has seen the rise and decline of all the
great nations of antiquity. Assyria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
have long since followed each other to
the dust; but China still remains, SOL
itary and wonderful monument of patri-
archal time. Then look at the popula-
ton of the country, roughly estimated
at 4O0,000,000, ten times the population
of the United States, more than thirteen
times the population of Great Britain
and Ireland. Every third person that
lives and breathes upon this earth and
beneath these heavens is Chinese;
every third grave that is dug is for a
Chinese.

NOTWITHSTANDING money is held
stif1y at 6 to 7 on call at New York, and
the interior banks have out full lines
of loans, there is extraordinary buoy
ancy in the stock market and the trans
actions rise to 100000 shares a day,
against 10000 three months ago.
There is the greatest buoyancy in rail
road stocks, and in that interval Union
Pacific stock has risen from rs to 81
Erie from II to 40, Michigan Central

and a great raft of stocks formerly
never heard of have begun to be quot

based somewhat on increased earnings,
especially in the case of new roads, on
the permanency of the pool arrange
ments which afford some guaranty OF
the firmness of rates on the trunk lines,
and on the magnitude of the crops,
which assure full business for the next

the day is near at hand when our
swords will be beaten into plowshares,
and our difficulties settled by arbitra-

horse trod on soldiers bunion, and he
yelled so-the soldier, not the horse

Lieutenant ON the other side was also
