China as a Comm erciml Nation.

China as a COmmercimI Nation. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 As matters now stand the future of tle East, especially of China, may we'll com mand the attention of the most practical American citizen. Indeed, the truly prac- tical is much oftener found watching by the cradle of the future than weeping in the graveyards of the past.
 Our fears of Chinese immigration arc al- layed for the moment but we do not thereby escape Chinese competition. The New York Heral6 of Nov. 15 says of the people of the Pacific slope: Now they are growing fear full that the excluded Ch1namen will soon be- come successful competitors, although re. stricted to working on Asiatic soil and ac- cordingly they are preparing to petition Congress further to shut Chinese manufac turars cut The San Francisco papers are looking forward to time when Chinamen at homo will manufacture for themselves, and so cheaply that they will not only supply their own market, but ours as well, unless Congress comes to the rescue with protective customs duties which will eclipse the most extraordinary provisions of the present tariff"
 The San Francisco Bulletin of the same date, ill the course of reply to some utter ances of the HeTd2d, says: ''If, by reason of the cheapness of labor there, they can undersell other countries, the tariff on their SoOdS VIII nave tO De increased, unless It can be proved that we ought to concede excep- tional advantages, etc." And the strong language (not quoted) with which these statements are enforced shows that the ques- ton is not one of mere sentiment but of present practical interest.
 The foreign trade of China is not large ;; but it is increasing at quite rapid rate. According to the London EcOn0miI of July go, 1882, the total value of imports and ex- ports for the treaty ports in 1881 was over $227, GOO, 900, against less than $21G, GOO, GOO in 1879. The aggregate tonnage of vessels entering and clearing from the treaty ports in 1876 was little over O,O00,G GOO. Of this the Americans claimed 2,4OO, GOO tons, and the Chinese 1,40O,O 900. But in 1881, of over G,G00, 900 tons the Chinese had f, 767, 183 and the Americans just 224, 730
 These last figures are not pleasant reading, but they may be profitable. At least they show the rapid growth of the Chinese mer- cantile marine. Chinese foreign minister is reported to have boasted that in twenty

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Professor D. Cady Eaton has had publish cd in pamphlet form his paper on ''The Arts of Design in American Colleges.' Professor Eaton in this paper ably and sharply dis cusses the relation of the American college to Practical Art, the relation of the American college to Esthetical Art, and the relation of the American college to Correlative Art, by which is meant all that is left to Art when the prac tical and the aesthetical elements are no longer present. He would have every college have a chair of Art History and hasten to recognize the cultivation of the Artistic Sense us factor in education. Those who read his pamphlet will be instructed and entertained, and they will find it hard to answer his reasoning.

4 Prize Fight Retween Women.
 L EI- TIL


 A Twickenham correspondent writes: "A novel prize fight has taken place at a small suburban village not many miles distant from Hanwell. For some time past considerable i'll feeling appears to have existed among 6 certain section of the market garden women employed ill the neighborhood, and recently it was decided to settle the matter by stand-up fight between two of the most prom inent and pugilistic members representing the two classes at variance. Accordingly at the midday meal the rival parties quietly ad journed to field at a goodly distance from the public highway, where ring was formed and various preliminaries carried out, to the satisfaction of all. The feminine pugilists with their seconds, then presented them selves, the one being a buxom Shropshire lassie who is said to have gained proficiency in the noble art of self-defense while travelling a few years ago with boxing saloon com pany, and the other stalwart daughter of Erin, who boasted that she had been en gagged in hundred fights and had never been beaten. The two fought for a few minutes only, for in the third round the Irishwop1en (who up to that time had gained slight ad- vantage by blackening her opponents eyes) received a blow ill the ribs which incspacita ted her from continuing the fight and her second threw up the sponge, amid the ap. plause of the other side. In the evening the two parties sat down to a substantial supper of beefsteak and onions, and afterwards swore eternal friendship over 8 gallon of whiskey, provided at the expense of the woman who had been vanquished."

 We think he made the time too short by d. lowing too little for the capacity of western nations for growth. But we must bear in mind the terrible persistency and endless numbers of the Chinese, and the compact ness and varied character of their immense territory We must remember that hitherto they have made no real effort to cultivate either friendly or hostile intercourse with the rest of mankind. And if ever nation which includes quarter of the human fam fly, with all the advantages which arise from unity of race, of institutions and of training, should abandon it's policy of seclusion and pour out it's energies in the channels of com merce, the present masters of the worlds trade, whether Americans, British Jews or whoever they may be, would have to bestr themselves in earnest if they would keep the championship from passing into Mongolian hands. +*

The recent visit of the Emperor and Em- press to St. Petersburg was attended with extra precautions on the part of the authori- ties. All along the route, from the Warsaw railroad terminus to the Annitchkin palace, police officers in sledges and on foot were met with at every half dozen yards4 and all the house portors of tho streets crossing khe main route were collected in groups at each corner, for the double purpose of keeping a watch for suspicious persons and cheering the imperial party. Policemen were posted at intervals in the centre of the atreet, while the bridges over the canals were closely guarded by the marine police, in some cases an officer patrolling on one footway of the bridge and private on the other, Where there were any barracks along the way, the soldiers, with their bands and singing choirs, were turned out to make a show. The num- Der of secret police agents and detectives on the alert it was, of course, impossible to tell, On the whole, there was marked contrast with the former free and unceremonious vis- it's of the imperial family to the capital.
