The hasty recall of the Chinese youths who

The new press law just voted by the French
Chambers presents curious features, according
to The 81. James, Gazette: Private persons, and
the private characters of public men, will be well
protected; but the prosecution of newspapers for
attacks upon the public dongs of officials has been
subjected to so many conditions favorable to the
accused that practically the French press will, so

INN unity from State indictments. Prosecutions for

that causes touching public acts are to be tried in

railways, has used foreign machinery, and the
army is equipped with European guns and ar
tillery and drilled by European officers. In
short, he is quite willing to make use of Amer
lean and European appliances to help China
upward, but he does not intend that China shall
become an inferior imitation of either America
or Europe. The Chinese lads are brought home
before they are too much imbued with the
leaven of democratic ideas or the Christian
faith
There is no more singular problem now be-
fore the world than the question, which very
likely will be settled in the next forty years,
as to how far the ancient civilizations of
India, China and Japan will be influenced by
modern thought and religion. Eastern thought
is that of an old man; it has passed out of
the consideration of every day practical duties
and rules it is slow, subtle, philosophc its
religion rises away from the commonplace to
a profound, gloomy communion with the alb
straction of life and death, or contemplation
of vague impersonal Deity. Eastern prac-
tce is, too, the habit of life of an aged man
in his second childhood it is tardy weak and
trivial he is blind, his hold is feeble on the
real things about him, but he is Obstnately
cOmplacent in supreme faith in himself. There
is the East, with mighty truths in its brain
anu uecfepiI III Douy ana mere is the west,
with its new blood, its practical religion, its
aggressive driving fury of work, machinery
and ideas. The young man may go on plum
dcrng the old, as he has done for two gener-
ations, but we doubt if he will ever convert
him to his ways of thinking or practice, or
put new alien blood into his veins. AS far as
China, most decrepit of all Eastern peoples, is
concerned, General Tso will probably decide
her fate for the next generation, and keep her
where she is.

The Virginia Bourbons set trap for the Republi-

this State that 1t viii not be WISE to lay too much

Anything which makes the Democratic party nm

Mr.. Parnell is on historical ground when
he pleads for the establishment of Irish
manufactures One of the darkest pages of
English history is that which records the tyran-
meal measures whereby the industries of
the island were stamped out and the people
forced back upon the soil to satisfy the greed
of British manufacturers. That Ireland would
be peculiarly benefited by the development of
home industries requires little argument. A
country which is exposed to periodical fam
ines by the failure of successive harvests is
the one of all others to have population
trained in various empoyments. The diversi-
fication of national industries, which was
Systematically INSTRUCTED generation after gen.
Grafton, would have rendered the island as
prosperous as it is now unfortunate.
