1T Is NOW about three months since
smallpox was declared epidemic, and this
city placed under quarantine. According
to some medical opinions, a smallpox epi-
demic usually runs about two months; but
we have considerably overrun that limit
and the community still groans under the
weight OF taboos. Some of these must be
maintained at all hazards; but we cannot
understand why our public schools have
been so long closed, when we consider the
following facts: The Government employ
in this city a medical staff of four physi-
clans, who could see to it that the pupils of
every school were vaccinated and re-vacci-
mated; and at the same time, could pay a
daily visit to the schools in session to OBJ
serve the health of students. The policy
now pursued in this matter is ill advised,
and not dictated by q spirit of wise and eff
cient administration anxious and striving
to promote all interests. And the interdict
upon our place of public amusement, the
Music Hall, as affording a possible chance
OF contagion, seems absurd, when we see
the throngs of native as well as foreign
worshippers in all the churches, during the
late holidays. The epidemic is a great
sorrow and misfortune; but don't add to IFS
heavy burthens by mal-administration.

The exercises of the day at the different
churches impressed us with a strong feeling in
respect to what should be the unity of Christian
lty. Surely ali who believe that Christ gave his
life for sinners, that he died on the cross and
rose again triumphant, should be one united
body of believers. ~

com to stay, and treaty or no treaty, he will
keep coming. Uninviiing as the prospect of
tneir competition may appear to our white
l~aborers, they will be compelled to accept
the situation.
The provisions of the treaty looking to the
enlargement of commercial intercourse be-
tween the two nations may be briefly sum-
med up as follows First, The Chinese
government will favoratly consider any pro-
posal for the extension of commercial rela-
tions which it may deem wise and useful to
ask. Second, 1t prohibits the participation
of our citizens or our vessels in the opium
trade in China. Third. 1t secures by treaty
stipulation the trial of all actions between
our citizens and the subjects of China, in
the courts of the judicial authorities of the
defendant, and the application of the laws of
the defendants nationality to all such litiga-
tons. Thu commercial treaty is a good one
for the United States, but the other one it is
feared will prove a most lamentable failure
so far as it can check the swarming to our
shores of the Tartar hordes from the several
British ports on the coast of China. 1t must
be conceded 'John" has the best of the bar

THE Mining Reutew says: "Although the
Monetary Congress is in session at Paris, we
doubt whether the result will be more than
an e%Xchan!e of views upon the question of
finance, and a considerations, in an unofficial
manner, of the different systems of national
coinage. A change in established customs is
hard to make, especially when these CUSTOMS
nave been hardened and uystallized by the
traditions and Use Of centuries. A change in
the coinage of the world will doubtless re-
quire a sacrifice on the part of some of those
interested in or consenting to a new order of
things, and the question Of considerable i'm.
portance is, which one of the great powers,
whose chief characteristic is selfshness, will be
willing to assume the loss and the neon
venience necessary to the adoption of a new
basis. In view OF the fact that the United
States is at the present time not only the
chief producer, but the great center tow ard
which the gold of the world gravilatcs. it may
be aquestion whether, with a treasury hold
ing more gold than the world ever saw be
fore boarded together in one place, with a
mineral bearing territory larger than the
whole of Europe, and a mining industry ell
eaging he forces of the country. ready now
to make some showing for the years of prep
%aration, it is IA question whether our nation is
wise i'll e~vincing any interest in this matter,
which certainly concerns the welfare of other
nations at present more than our own.
Our country was certainly never before in
a better condition to dictate a financial poll
cy, and assume the immense advantages
which could be made to accrue from the pr-
sition which at this time might be assumed"

New York Times, and as such, gave his

it characterized the gentleman as a smod ks
