Quincy and mainly in Pike county, is one
nj the richest tracts Of bottom land in the

western farmer raises-have been cultivated
there year IN and year out with unvarying
luxuriance for over fifty years, and the soil has
needed no recuperaton by so much as pound
of manure. Accordingly nearly every acre OF
this teeminz bottom was under cultivation by
thrifty prosperous farmers, and so thickly was
it dotted over with buildings as at distance
to resemble continuous CITY. But the situa
ton of the district was not above the high wa
ter mark of the Mississippi river, and it had
to be protected from overflow by an extended
leyee. To keep the levee in repair year after

big rise for half a dozen years the people
grew careless So when, few weeks ago, the

lussen intended his money to accumulate IN
til it would have reached about $500. 900, 600.
The Government deeming it undesirable that
any subject should possess wealth so colossal,
introduced a bill limiting entail to living per-
sons and tWenty-one years afterward. This
is not much greater than the power of entail
in New York, and almost identical with that
in Massachusetts. Many estates in and
around New York-the Lefferts, Rinelander,
for example-are entailed. In England hun
dreds of great properties are completely un-
entailed, and it is purely the custom, not the
law, OF the country which will cause them to
be transmitted TO the eldest son. Men who
are very liberal in politics favor the custom,
because they think that it keeps up the posi-
ton of a family, and that were an estate di-
vided up in the next generation none would
be better for such division. 1t is not gener-
ally understood here that the law in England
permits a man to leave his property precisely
as be p~leases, and that q Duke Can leave all
to bis footman. The great estates, for in
stance, of the Duke Of Hamilton, Premier
Duke of Scotland, were, up to the time of
his marriage, absolutely unentailed. This
came out Of some law proceedings.

ALL that is at present known regarding the
conditions of the recent treaty between the
United States and China relative to an under
standing on the vexed s'Chinese question" is
that such a treaty has been concluded. The
sense OF its terms in particular is not known,
for its provisions in detail have not been made
public. But it is stated that it contains no
special provisions which interfere with immi-
grafton by any class of Chinese subjects, and
that the treaty simply stipulates that the
American government shall have power to
regulate and control, by its its own laws,
such features as it may deem necessary for
its own interest. 1t is not to be presumed
that Congress will proceed very far in the
matter, but will probably restrict its action to
that feature relating to the importation Of
Chinese who come here under bond, or in
a species Of slavery that has been most detri-
mental to the interests Of the laboring classes
and injurious to our social institutions. 1t is
a matter that should be handled deliberately,
but at the same time with a view to eventu-
ally eliminate this disagreeable element of
our population.
