The real hard work of the Convention de-

which the work was transacted. The calling OF

time than it takes the skilled clerks of the
National House of Representatives to call a
shorter roll.

RESTRICTING CHINESE IMMIGRATION

It is fact not generally known that
the United States are not alone in re-
stricting Chinese immigration. Great
Britain has done the same thing. By
an act of the New South Wales parlia-
ment, approved by the queen-the Glad
stone government, December 5, 1S81-it
is made the duty of every master of
vessel arriving in any port of the colony
to report, under penalty Of 81 GOO, full
description of every Chinaman on board
and all particulars concerning his ante
cedents, character, etc. If any vessel
having on board greater number of
Chinese than in the proportion of one
Chinaman to every hundred tons of the
tonnage of such vessel, shall arrive at
lany time in any port, the owner, master,
lor charterer of such vessel is made liable
bn conviction to penalty of $500 for
each Chinese carried in excess of the
foregoing limitation, unless the defend
ant shall show that the Chinese SO car
ried is British subject or one of the
crew or has not been landed in the col
ony and is not intended to be so landed.
Before the number of Chinese thus
limited to arrive are permitted to land
the master of the vessel is required to
pay to the collector of the port $50 for
each one as head money, and any China
man landing without such payment hav-
ing been made for him is required to pay
that sum and $50 additional, or in de-
fault of payment is required to suffer
imprisonment for twelve months. The
act is entitled can act to restrict the in
hux of Chinese into New South Wales"
The title of our act is "an act to execute
certain treaty stipulations relating to
Chinese" The stipulation of the Chi
nese treaty referred to is as follows:
whenever, in the opinion of the gov
eminent of the United States, the COM
ing of Chinese laborers to the United
States, or their residence therein, affects
or threatens to affect the interests of the
country, or to endanger the good order
of the said country or of any locality
within the territory thereof, the govern
ment of China agrees that the govern
of the United States may regulate, limit,
or suspend suon coming or residence,
but may not absolutely prohibit it."

OSTRICH FARMING.

The q. S. consul at Buenos Ayres
has published some facts that may
awaken more than ordinary interest in
the subject treated: ostrich farming in
South America and the prospects for the
industry in the United States. A trade
pamphlet from Buenos Ayres gives the
following facts regarding ostrich farm
ing: A range of 5000 acres, in an open
state, will readily subsist and keep
5000 birds; with suitable Enclosures the
birds cost little to keep, as they thrive

The KremIin of Moscow.

The kremlin of Moscow, with its an
cient and modern palace and its four
cathedrals, has been ruined before now,
and the nihilists would willingly ruin it
again, with the czar inside. There is a
subterranean passage leading from the
heart of the kremlin to the edge of the
river Moskva, intended, apparently,
when first constructed, for escape, in
case of investment, of czar surrounded
by foreign or domestic enemies. This
passage is doubtless well watched, but
the eminence on which the kremlin
stands might be bored in various direc-
tions, especially from the side looking
upon the river, or from the kremlir gar
dens at the foot of its steepest slope.
The preparations for the coronation will
doubtless include careful examination
of tee weak places, in an engineering
sense, presented in the ground adjoining
the kremlin and by the sides of the krem-
lin itself. Besides taking all kinds of
precautions in the personal interest of
the czar, the authoritiesxof Moscow will
be required, as the day for the great
celebration approaches, to see that the
streets are properly paved and kept
clean; to have the fronts and roofs OF the
houses painted; and to catch and contine
the beggars who would otherwise annoy
distinguished visitors, besides giving
the city discreditable. and poverty
stricken look.

WARLIKE EUROPE.

The warlike tendencies of European
monarchies, as evidenced in the recent
sharp resentment by the German press
and people of certain incendiary utter
ances of prominent Russian general be-
fore a gathering of French students,
furnishes food for serious reflection to
the American-born citizen who, from
early childhood, has been taught that
peace between nations and individuals
is condition at all times most desired
and worthy to be fostered. War is a
terrible alternative even when it is rem
dered necessary to preserve national
honor or vital principle, but to precip-
itate a people into a season of carnage
and misery for mere personal reasons
evinces murderous disposition which
lowers the countries engaging in such a
strife In the estimation of Christian
world.
To the close observer of European
affairs it is very evident that war would
not prove unsatisfactory to either Bis
marck, the Gar, or Franz Josef, of Aus
tria. The former remembers how he
was idolized by the German people dur
ing the Franco russian war and COM
pares the past with the present condi-
ton of disaffection and state jealousies.
Alexander LII. also looks back to the en-
thusiasm of the Russian people and the
popularity of his father during the Tur-
ko-Russian campaign and reasons that
another conflict to stir the popular heart
might quiet internal dissensions and re-
store him to the world from his enforced
retirement at Gatschina. Austria covets
more eastern territory and hopes to at
tain the same by combining with some
of her more powerful neighbors.
The present moment, too, finds the
various powers in prime condition for a
struggle with arms. Austria can muster
l 100000 men (regulars), 10, 900 horses
and $4,000 conveyances, or fighting
force of 100000 infantry, $4,000
cavalry and 1, 700 guns, according to the
present law of mobilization. Germany's
effective strength is 100000 men, and
Russia can put 2, 252, 000men in the field
against Germany and Austria, and if
France should go in with her the COM
bination would furnish 3,482,OOO men.
The New York Times, in an editorial
on the subject, closes as follows: ''It is
time for another war. There is certain
periodicity in these matters as well as in
sun-spots and panics. Five years is the
average interval. There was war all
over Europe during the revolutions of
1848-49; from 1853 to 1856 England and
France were at war with Russia; in 1859
France and Sardinia were at war with
Russia; in 1864 occurred the little

on ordinary grass pasturage, although
grain allowance improves the plumage;
amost any soil answers, although one
containing gravel or small stones is pre-
ferable; the birds seldom sicken, Craze
during the day, require little watering,
and lie down to sleep at night wherever
they happen to be; they "drive . very
readily, need no regular herdsman when
properly fenced, breed at four years for
the female and five for the male; one pair
will hatch out a brood of ten or fifteen
four times year; one egg day is laid
by the female, and when fifteen to twenty
are accumulated she sits on them in the
day, the male relieving her in the night;
forty-two days are required, and if the
chicks are removed after Matching, the
female at once recommences laying, in
this respect being very unlike the COM
mon hen. Chicks month old are worth
$50 at Cape Colony. At 6 to 8 months
they are plucked, and at the like interval
progressively; mature birds produce Is
long white feathers from each wing,
worth SIS apiece at Cape Town; chick
feathers are worth only SIS per bird, but
the next plucking yield $40 to $50 per
bird, and at an assured average of $75,
there will be gross income of $3.50 in
sixteen months, or about SIP per year
per bird; with young and growing birds
the least hopeful view must assume at
least IS per cent. annual profit from
feathers, with also doubling in value of
the birds; the gross income from the
chicks produced by one pair is from
1000 to So, 900 per year. The consul
says it is popular error to suppose that
the ostrich is adapted chiefly to the des-
ert; probably it took to the desert to es-
cape it's many enemies, and experience
has so well proved that it will thrive un-
der extreme temperatures that it would
evidently like succulent grasses much
better than desert fare. At Cape Colony
ostrich farming has now been fourteen
years established, and the consul, who
claims to have considerably investigated
the subject, says the business ought to
thrive, especially in the United States.
The tempting figures presented suggest
the possibility of OVERRIDING feather pro-
duction. AS to this, he says that the
feather exports from Cape Colony four
teen years ago were $4,000 in value,
chiefly from wild birds; now the value
is $4,500,000; yet prices have not de-
cEned. All the female sex demand the
feathers; present profits are such as
make ostrich farmers careless of the dis
tant future, but fear of any collapse in
demand is almost absurd. There is a
chance that the above reports may bear
fruit in Parks County, Ind, if ostriches
can be called fruit. A number of men,
encouraged by the recorded profits of
ostrich farms, are planning to go into
the business themselves, and have al
ready figured out magnificent results,
somewhat after the manner of the milk
maid in the spelling book. They intend
to import the eggs and hatch them by
artificial means, and are sanguine that
the climate of Indiana will be favorable
to their enterprise.
