BETWEEN the heat and the assassination ex-
citement there has been lull in the war OF
the Republican papers over the governorship
question. We are really left in doubt relative
to the fitness of a good many candidates. AT
last accounts McGill and Hubbard were
in the lead as candidates and the p. p. was
abusing them, particularly the latter. AS the
President improves this fight should be re-
newed. There ought to be something warm
floating about besides the weather.

The fact that Garfield was inaugurated on a
Friday is supposed by few superstitious
idiots TO have been warning of disaster that
he ought to have needed and guarded against.
If all enterprises begun or prosecuted on that
day of the week were unlucky, it is to be
feared that disasters would be very general
far more general than successes. The sugges-
ton is only significant of the weakness of the
mind that made it.

IT is very evident that GuIteau had no in
tentlons upon the life of Secretary Blaine, not
withstanding that a special policeman at the
depot claims to have prevented him from exc
cutting his purpose upon the life of the secre-
tary. The secretary will no doubt be gratifed
at learning that his life was never in danger
from an assassin, even with the precedent set
by the murderers of President Lincoln.

IT is gratifying to find from every civilized
country in the world expressions of sympathy
for the President and the republic, emanating
from both rulers and people, and evidently
heartfelt and honest. They are not mere
Msmal expressions of politeness, and will
serve to bind the people of the two continents
more firmly together in bonds of friendship
and unity.

CONFUCTUS and TIE cHTNESE.

The Chinese are supposed to form
about one third of the population of the
world, and there is some ground for be-
lieving that for the last 4, 900 years they
have held much the same numerical
proportion to the entire human race.
Yet it may be said that there is but one
Chinaman who has earned worldwide
reputation-one individual who has been
large enough to lift himself above the
millions of unknown, unrecorded lives,
and force himself on the regard Of the
Western World. He was not conqueror
stamping his name on the terror-struck
imagination Of surrounding tribes. He
was not an inventor whose memory is
kept green by the gratitude Of those who
daily enjoy the fruit of his genius. He
was not a poet uttering mems best
thoughts and deepest feelings for them
in words more expressive than their own.
He was not oven philosopher. or. if
philosopher, his philosophy was on the
level of that of Benjamin Franklin. In
short, no ordinary avenue to fame ems
to have been open to him; and yet, II
numbers 60 for anything, what fame
rivals that Of the man who, for twenty
three centuries, has been worshiped ~
all but divine by nearly one-half of the
world, and whose words arc regarded as
cansnical by people compared to whose
exclusive jealousy the Jewish exclusive
ness is latitudinarian? Tho secret of his
fame is mainly this: that he was the
Chinaman of the Cinnamon, the most
conservative and ancestor worshiping in
dividual of the most conservative and
ancestor worshiping race. twas by his
work that the national tendencies and
popular instincts were recognized and
definitely fixed. 1t WAS he who fOrmu-
! lated the relations of ruler and subject
1t was he who gave utterance to those
maxims of personal conduct which the
Chinese are Justly proud Ct, though they
do not scrnpulcusly observe them.
Especially it was he Who gathered into
Chinese canon all the wisdom which had
been tested by previous generations, and
so set the seal of completeness on Chi
nese life and customs, so far as this car
be done by any man or by any books.

CHINESE REDS.

There are two kinds of Chinese bods,
and both are arranged for complete
shutting in by means of hanging cur
tains and tapestry. The expensive kind
is like sort of cage. having flat wood
en- roof, just the size Of bed proper.
supported at height Of about eight
feet from the floor on four corner posts
and two intermediate ones. Then there
is a sort Of frieze or entablature work
running around horizontally, above and
below, 40 that when you are in bed you
are safely penned in sort of cage, and
cannot possibly tumble out. The cary
ing on these heads is sometimes very
rich, and they cost much; but the Or
binary and cheaper kind is made Of two
frames Of wood shaped something like
the skeleton Of an old-fashioned "set-
tle," which are stood up on the floor fac
ing each other. A mattress is placed on
the projecting parts of these frames,
and couple of slight sticks across the
top: then curtains or hangings shut all
in, and make it look as pretty as the
taste and money of the owner are able.
Inside, there is cotton quilt, laid on the
mattress frame. The occupant of the
bed lies on this, having little roll of
stuff for the head, and for covering Q
very thick cotton quilt.

THE DISCOVERY OF SILK.

The discovery of silk is attributed to
Dne of the wives of the Emperor of Chi
ma. Hoang-ti, who reigned about 1000
years before the Christian era; and since
that time special spot has been allot-
ted in the gardens of the Chinese royal
palace to the cultivation of the mulberry
tree-called in Chinese the golden
treo and to the keeping of silk-worms.
The first silk dress in history was made,
not for sovereign nor Tor pretty
woman, but for tine monster i'll human
shape, Heliogabulus. Persian monks
who came to Constantinople, revealed to
Justinian the secret Of the production OF
silk, and gave him some silk-worms.
From Greece the art passed into Italy ut
the end of the thirteenth century.
When the Popes left Rome to settle at
Avignon, France, they introduced into
that country the secret which had been
kept by the Italians; and Louis nj. es-

fabrics. Francis ]. founded the Lyons
silk works, which to this day have kept
the first rank. Henry H., of France,
wore the first pair of silk hose ever
made, at the wedding Of his sister. The
word "satin," which. in the original.
was applied to all silk stuffs in general,
has, since the last century, been used to
designate only tissues which present
lustered surface. The discovery of this
particular brilliant stuff was accidental.
Octavia Mai, silk weaver, finding bust
ness very dull, and not knowing what to
invent to give a new impulse to the
trade, was one day pacing to and fro be-
fore his loom. Every time he passed
the machine, with no definite object in
view, he pulled little threads from the
warp and put them to his mouth. which
soon after he spat out. Later on, he
found the little ball of silk on the flool
of his workshop, and was attracted by
the brilliant appearance Of the threads
He repeated the experiment, and, BY
using certain mucilaginous preparations
succeeded in giving satin to the world
