In a singular letter he avowed that he
had "made a mistake" in accepting the
Office, and, with characteristic promp-
titude, he withdrew from his false po-
sltion. He avowed that he dreaded
becoming a turbulent" secretary, and
with these explanations the world was
forced to be content. MT. Primrose
succeeded to Colonel Gordon, and the
affairs of our Eastern Empire were
apparently undisturbed. But Colo
mel Gordon's treal motives were
Don disclosed. Chinese troops were
reported to be moving on Russian
territory from Kashgar and Chinese
Turkestan. The Chinese seem de-
termined to make Russia evacuate
Kuldja either by force of arms, or by
dint of the apprehension which a war
between China and any European
Power may we'll cause at St. Peters
burg. In this crisis of events Colonel
Gordon probably felt that he could
not remain q distant observer, that he
could not leave the great Empire
which he rescued from anarchy with
out his counsel, and perhaps without
his assistance. 1t is said that he was
refused official permission to go to
China, and he therefore resigned his
commission before he left India. No
thing can be more romantic than the
position of Colonel Gordon, FIVE ear
fancy him at the head of a Chinese
army. The testimony of English
officers makes it probable that the
Chinese soldiery are difficult to mobi-
lise. The army of each province dis
tinctly objects to being sent to fight
in any other province. The men are
not uniformly armed: Neither they
nor their officers lack courage, but!they
all lack dash, resource, and ''initiative."
If a battle is going against them, or if
the line of march is precipitous and
difficult, they resign themselves to
fate. They do not run away, but
they wait the course of events, which
can hardly be favourable. They have
no stiffness, no ready wit, they in
vent no sudden new mode Of over
coming or evading difficulties or dan
gers. Colonel Gordon supplied the
mind which without him the Over
Victorious Army would have lacked.
By virtue of this he was, and perhaps
again might be, the conquering leader
OF a Chinese army"

There is good news for lovers of
English beer. Mr.. Gladstone has
taken off the malt tax. Mr.. Bass, the
celebrated Burton upon Trent brewer
says that the removal of the vexatious
restrictions upon brewers which the
excise laws imposed will enable them
to reduce the price by one third OF
"what is even better, to improve its
quality in the same degree without
increasing its price"

Lord C~arnarvon, (says the Spectator)
on Friday week, 4th June, brought
forward the subject of compulsory
insurance against old age and sickness.
His idea, which on this point is, we
believe, original, is that every man
should insure himself before he reach
es manhood, by paying to the Trea-
sury a sun of f10. He would then
be entitled to a weekly payment dur
ing sickness and in old age. He

A valuable bank of red coral has been
discovered on the coast of Naples. It is
said to be richer than another similar bank
discovered off the SAM coast FIVE years
ago. The finder has made his discovery
a little too soon. 1t appears that the new
Italian fisheries law gives the discoverer of
a coral bank the exclusive right of fishing
on it for two years. The law has not yet
come into force, and consequently several
vessels are already on the spot in the hope
of making o rich harvest.
