1t is boldly predicted that, before
many years, the Chinese question
will become as urgent in Europe as
it now is in America. The isolation
of China is thing of the past. and,
in a century, if net sooner, we are
told the Chinese will become the
principal workmen element not only
in America. but in Europe. The
European race is aristocratic; gener-
ally disliking manual labor, it as
pires to everything except the OBJ
scure life of the workingman. More
over, the future generation will find
itself face to face with the question of
how to procure hands for handiwork.
It is here that the Chinese race will
come admirably in to fill uD the gap.
In fifty years steam navigation will
transport the Chinese at fabulously
low prices to all parts of the world.
We shall see arise IN all the cities of
Europe Chinese quarters which will
cause discomfort among our working
classes, with whom they will have
seriously to reckon, and the Chinese
element will end by fixing itself
among US like the Jews. This Chi
nese emigration is no Utopia, and
we shall see the Chinese workmen in
Europe sooner than we think.

already transpired, that the state
combination feels itselfstrong enough
not to allow Mr.. Hamilton the choice
of his own appointments, without
first consulting the leaders of tn
ring. All who know Mr.. Hamilton
are aware that he has sufficient moral
courage and backbone to decline to
be dictated to by Others. FEis friends
say that he will never submit to any
thing of the kind, and that he pro
poses to consult his own wishes and
desires in the making of appoints
ments. When Mr.. Hamilton was
nominated it was understood that he
would have the naming of Mr.. Cor
mans successor as President of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and
that the other members of the Board
of Public Works would make no OPP
position to whomever he would
name. But the last few days dis
pelled this illusion. 1t is well un-
derstood that Mr.. Hamilton desires
Mr.. John Ritche to be Mr.. Germans
successor and it is equally well
known that the two other members
of the Board of Public Works donot
propose to vote for Mr.. Richie, as
he is understood to be opposed by
Mr.. German. 1t is said that they
may consent to Mr.. Mealy or Mr..
Horsey, but the other memb5 rs OF
the Board of Public Works propose
to have a say in regard to the APP
peintment. There was a rumor on
the streets of Annapolis during the
past week that Mr.. Hamilton had q
private interview with Mr.. Barnes
Compton, the State Treasurer, and
who is one of the members of the
Board of Public Works, in regard to
the presidency of the canal, when
some of these facts were brought out
Mr.. Compton was approached by an
american reporter, who made in
quires in regard to the interview.
Mr.. Compton stated that the inter
view was entirely of a private ma
ture, and that it would be breach
of confidence for him to say anything
about it. One of the leaders who was
spoken to in regard TO the matter,
said that it was well known that Mr.
Hamilton would like to see. Mr..
Richie president of the canal, but
smilingly said that this would scarce.
ly be doue. But, said he, there may
be reconciliation, and some matters
turn up by which either Messrs.
Ritchie, Horsey or Mealy may be
elected to that position. II looks
very probable that there will soon be
a rupture between the new Execu-
tive and the present party managers,
if the latter interfere with his APP
pointments. The Governor-electw will
insist upon the exercise of his prero-
gatiye, and if there is any disposition
shown to thwart his wishes, there
will be trouble in the camp. 1t is
said by those in sympathy with the
leaders that the latter will promise to
carry out Governor Hamilton's re.
form measures, and in return expect
him to conform to their wishes in re-
gard to appointments ;lbut Mr., Ham

Robert Norris Estate Settled.

Seventy-four years after his death, the
Orphans Court has just adjudicated the
estate Of Robert Morris, the great fnan-
cier of the Revolution. Morris voted
against the Declaration Of independence,
but signed it after its ador ton, and then
issued his own notes 10 the extent of
81, 500,000 to pay and feed the Colonial
army. He redeemed every dollar, and
retired from Office a wealthy man.
He speculated in land and died poor, his
principal asset upon his death in 1906
being stock i'll the North American Land
Company. By his will, dated June 10,
1904, he left his estate to his wife and
children. The widow died in 1927.
The estate remained unsettled, and in
1853 all the parties interested agreed to
convey all the property left by Robert
Norris to Robert S. Paschal, In trust for
the Morris heirs. The next year Pas
chal transferred by general consent the
effects to John Moss, who died In 1872
In December, 1878, the heirs selected
Henry Phillips, Jr., as trustee, and let
ters of administration were granted to
him and he proceeded to settle the estate.
Last month he submitted his accounts
to the Orphans Court, showing that a
final division of the estate had been made
by him, So, 692. 80 going to the Hepburn
estate, and $9, 693. 40 to Robert Morris as
next of kin. The court has just APP
! proved the report.

H0rsefesh rs Food.

The subject of using horsefesh as an
article of food has not received much at
tention of late, either at home or abroad
But it is about to be revived here, it is
said, by number of men who are per-
shaded that its adoption would benefit
the poor, because it could be furnished
at a lower rate than beef. They think,
too, that it is, if properly cooked, very
palatable, and would be. enjoyed by
many persons were they not prejudiced
against it. Paris is the sole city where
hippophagy has been and is still practiced,
and where many Americans have from
pure curiosity eaten horse in various
forms. In 1856 and 1856 the topic was
widely and earnestly discussed there,
with view to introducing horsefesh
into the municipal makets. Geoffroy
St Hilaire, the eminent naturalist, gave
the matter due consideration, and de-
clared in public lecture that such food
is wholesome. A hippophagic society
was formed by some. of the. most en-
thusiastic Frenchmen, and they met
periodicallyat dinner over divers elaborate
dishes whose foundation was horse.
Some fourteen years ago horse was
regularly and authoritatively introduced
into market; special abattoirs were APP
pointed for the slaughter of animals, and
certain rules made respecting the sale OF
the meat. The beasts were killed In the
presence Of veterinary inspector, whose
duty is to stamp every joint of meat that
he has approved. Horses that were old
or worn out with work were not rejected,
only those that were unhealthful. The
same regulations still hold. Many OF
the minor restaurateurs have horse on
their n1epaus, and it is in fair demand.
They are obliged to avow' the fact, con-
cealment or deceit rendering them liable
to fine. They use horse mainly fol
soup, bouillon and sausages, but it is
sometimes put into the most delicate
dishes; is 50 seasoned with condiments
and so. disguised by culinary art as to be
relished by great gourmets. Some Of
the artistic forms Of hippophagy in Paris
are terri,aeS de ,foie nlatgre, cje0dtiraeS,

hippophagy at its best must go to Paris.
1t is not likely that horse viii ever be
eaten here to any extent, since beef, to
which it is certainly INFERIOR can always
be had in this country, even by the
poorest class. --Ne1O York Times.

Purity OF Water-Some Interesting
.s,g0 Facts. m ,iee He ~

Some very instructive remarks were
made recently by Prof. Huxley, during
the criticism of a paper by DR.. Tidy, on
water for dietetic purposes. DR.. Tidy's
paper, Prof. Huxley thought, contained
a good deal of what might be called ''bio-
logical trlrbidity, Hand he would, there
FORE endeavor to act as filter, and state
only what were demonstrable facts. Dis
ease caused by what people, not wisely,
call germs, such as splenic fever, pig
typhoid, etc., are caused invariably by
bodies Of the nature of bacteria, and these
bodies could be cultivated through twenty
or thirty generations, and then, whell
given to the OK or the pig, would invari-
ably give rise to the characteristic dis
ease. We have no reason even. to i'm
agine that any body capable of causing
disease by such means could be anything
but body having the nature of q bac-
teriuIn Now, bacteria are just as much
plants as mushrooms or cabbage or the
Welhngtonia gigantea, SO that we know
under what conditions bacteria can live
and what they will do. Bacteria can be
sown, and will thrive in iPasteur's solu-
ton Just as cress or mustard In the soil;
and Prof. Roscoe, an eminent chemist,
thinks it doubtful whether there was any
known method to ascertain whether If a
drop Of this solution were placed In gall
Ion of water its constituents could be es-
timated. Every cubic inch of such
water would contain $4,000 to 100, 600
bacteria, and one drop of it would be ca
pable of exciting putrefactiye fermenta-l
ton in any substance capable of under
going that fermentation. The human
body may be considered as such a sub
stance, and we may conceive of a water
containing such organisms which may be
as pure as can be, as regards chemical
analysis, and yet be, as regards the hui
man body, as deadly as prussic acid. 81
am aware" continued Prof Huxley,
''that this is terrible conclusion, but it
is true, and if the public are guided by
percentages they may often beled astray.
The real value of a determination Of the
quantity Of organic impurity in water is
that by it shrewd notion can be OBJ
tanned as to what has had access to that
water. IF it be proved that sewage has
been mixed with it, there is very great
chance that the excreta of some diseased
person may be there also. On the other
hand, water may be chemically gross, yet
do harm to no one, the great danger
being In the diseased germs.

The Chinese Military Leader.

Tso-Tsung- Tang, viceroy of the pro-
vince of Fooken, with about forty mil
lion inhabitants, who is the present OBJ
iect of Russia's chief thoughts and fears,
is an excellent general, thoroughly con-
versant with European tactics. 1t was
his generalship which subdued the Taip-
ing rebellion, and the Nien-fel insurrec-
ton was crushed by him In person. He
is the recognized head of the anti-Rus-
sian war party In China, to whom all mil
itary and naval improvements are more
or less owing. He reconquered Kashgar,
commanded the integral retrocession of
Kuldja, and upon his own authority ar
rested the unfortunate Chung How, am
bassador to st. Petersburg, and sent him
in chains to Pekin under sentence of de-
capitation. Tso-Tsung Tang is now in

thousands of miles of deserts. awaiting
the Russians.

The Dismal Swamp.

/, The Dismal Swamp, says an exchange,
is not vast bog sunk low into the
ground into which the drainage of the
surrounding country flows. On the con-
trary, it is above the level ground some
fifteen or twenty feet, as was demon
strated by actual surveys. Instead of
being receptacle into which rivers and
streams enter and flow, it is, in reality,
an immense reservoir that, in its vast
spunge-Eke biilk, gathers the waters that
fall from the heavens and porlrs them
into five different rivers, which flows on
ward to the sea. Any one would imagine
that the Dismal 7 was veritable
chanel-house that spread its miasma
throughout the country. On the con-
trary it is the healthiest place. upon the
American, continent. The swamp is
formed entirely of green timber. There
is absolutely no decomposed wood; one
sees large trees lying all around in the
forests and swamps. The two principal
woods that grow in the place are juniper
and cypress, which never rot. They fall
prone to the ground Like other trees, but
instead Of the wood accomplishing it turns
into peat, and lies indissoluble by air
and water for ages perfectly sound
There is nothing in the swamp to create
miasna; no rising of the tides and de-
composition of rank vegetables; no
marshes exposed to. the burning rays OF
the sun. Al is fresh and sweet and the
air is laden with as sweet odors as the
fragrant woods in May, when the sweet
odors of the flowers nlingle with the
pungent scent Of the pine and dogwood.
In the ante bellttna days all the planters
were anxious to hire their slaves to
shingle-makers in the swamps on &C
count of its health. Mr.. Reddick, a
well-known contractor, says he worked
a gang of fifty hands fifty years in the
Dismal getting shingles, and in all that
time there was not a single case of fever
and ague. i have seen numerous aft
davits Of overseers and contractors who
have lived in the swamp their whole life
time, and they never knew death
caused by miasma, OF a solitary instance
of ague and fever. The air is pure and
sweet, and the water, tinged to faint
wine hue by the juniper, is as potent a
medical drink as are the famous Watering
places Of the Virginia (" mountain pass. .
It is often used by naval vessels going
on long foreign cruise, on account of
the healthful properties, and also be-
cause it keeps fresh and clear for years.
It is strong and invigorating tonic,
with very pleasant taste. eldl .Uue
