THREE YOUNG MoNARcHs OF ASIA.

The ancient empires of Eastern Asia
have young rulers of progressive incli-
nations, and this fact is an important
consideration In estimating the immedi-
ate future of China, Japan and Corea.
The Chinese emperor is little more than
a child, but LII Hung Chang, the virtual
ruler Of the empire, is a statesman of
such breadth of mind and acknowledged
ability that. his influence in shaping the
character of his young sovereign may be
decisive, and his policy will bring China
nto more friendly relations with other
nations. The emperor of Japan is a
young man of fine intellect and compre-
hensive views, who is understood to be
in earnest sympathy with the movement
which resulted from Commodore Perry's
achievement IN opening the gates of the
empire to foreigners. And the king of
Corea is represented by United States
Minister Foote to be youth of frank,
prepossessing appearance, who will be
inclined to regard with favor the adj
vances of other nations. The proclama-
ton from Washington of the treaty of
friendship and commerce between the
United States and the kingdom of Corea,
which was negotiated by Commodore
1nufeldt, recalls the bloody instruction
hich followed the discovery by the
Coreans a year ago that their country
was to be opened to foreigners, who for
centuries had not been permitted to en-
ter their ports. The Chinese have been
slow to admit strangers within their
walls, but Coreans will yield still more
reluctantly to change of policy. Never
theless, the fact that the sovereigns of
China, Japan and Corea are young men
of progressive inclinations is to be re-
garded as prophetic of great changes
among the vast multitude of inhabitants
OF Eastern Asia.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

The returns for the first seven months
of 1888 show that France lost SIG, 600, 600
of export trade, as compared with the
same months of 1882, while her imports
increased $11 100000. The contrast
with the situation in this country is
striking. During the fiscal year which
ended with June tie balance of trade in
our favor was $3.50, 900, 900, or five times
as much as that of the preceding year.
The indications are that the excess of
exports over imports will continue to
increase, and year of very satisfactory
foreign trade is before the nation. Gov
eminent securities held abroad have
been rapidly returning, and a large
movement of specie across the Atlantic
to purchase our cereals is confidently
expected. Both England and France
will need an unusual quantity of foreign
wheat, and the demand for the surplus
of our crop is likely to be brisk. For
years the nation struggled to change the
balance of trade from the wrong side of
the account, and now the struggle has
been transferred from the United States
to Europe.

HALIFAX, n. S., August 25.-A ter
rible story is that told by George Gardi-
ner, a fisherman, who, with his com
panion, Peter Dakin, was caught In the
whirlpool of the Basin of Miras, near
Cape Split. The two men were in a
dory, pulling in their nets, and drifted
nearer the whirlpool than they meant to.
However, they took to their oars, and,
putting all their strength into
each stroke, they were making fair
progress toward a safe place, when
DakIn's wrist suddenly gave out, and
the boat foated into the dangerous place
and capsized. Gardiner caught on a
net buoy, but in a moment both men
were sucked down to great depth, and
Gardiner says that the weight of water
upon him was fairly painful. Then
they both rose again, and as Gardiner
was about to advise Dakin what to do to
save himself they both went down again.
That time, says the rescued man,
they were both sure that their time had
come, but, almost sufocated, they arose
once more. When below Gardner had
full view Of his companion and sur
rounding objects. After coming to the
surface of the second whirlpool they had
only time to draw breath or two when
they were sucked down into the third.
Gardiner very nearly persisted while
under the surface this time, but as
cending again he found his companion
near him. He spoke to him, but
found that he was corpse, having suf-
located while beneath the surface. Gar
diner succeeded in reaching his dory
and chung to it all night. Strange to say,
Dakin's body Aoated all night on the
surface, and no matter which way Gar
diner turned his head the corpse ap-
peared always in his view. Shortly
after daylight some fishermen in another
boat rescued Gardiner and the corpse
was recovered. Gardiner was driven al
most insane by his horrible experience,

IT is said $40, 900 has been offered and
refused for the stallion Duquesne, and
still people ask, " Does it pay to breed
trOtter?'
The Turf, Field and Farm says Rich
ball, the great PAGER, little less than a
year ago was helping to herd cattle on
the plains, and was sold under saddle
for S115.
BALL players, like gamblers, are fool
ishly superstitious. Williamson holds
notion that a stone, pitched over the
plate at times when a Chicago player is
at the bat and hit is needed, is certain
to bring that wished for. In a recent
game with Cleveland, during the sixth
inning, he bObbed up with handful of
small pebbles. Gore got pebble, his
base on balls, and run. Arson an
other pebble, a three-base hit. and an
other run; and Ed himself got a single,
but it put him on base where he could
pitch no more pebbles, and, though
Burns secured hit without the pebbles,
Williamson never made run, and Chi
cage couldn't win.
THE bicycle has reached China and is
astonishing the natives. A letter from
Pekin by the gentleman who intro
duced cycling there says the inhabitants
"stare at it IN great wonder. When I
dismount have crowd around me in
minute, which soon increases to J.
hundred If I stay" The Celestials ex-
hibit their wonderment by raising ''a
great shout" as the rider glides swiftly
away, and some try to keep up with
what they term "Tye sing cheh,"
which means a self going cart, but are
soon glad to giveup the contest. " What
astonishes them is that the bicycle goes
quicker than horse" and many have
been the inquiries by curious China
men whether it contains a spring to
make it go.
DURING the past week the relative po-
sition OF the league clubs has remained
unchanged, although Providence has
tied Cleveland on games won but still
occupies second place, having lost two
games more than the 'tGilt-edged.
Chicago is improving her chances for
flying the pennant by winning three out
of the four games played during the
week. Boston holds fast to fourth
place, with Buffalo, New York, Detroit
and Philadelphia following in the order
named. The following table shows the
relative positions of the clubs in the race,
for the pennant during the week:

THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

Persons prominently connected with
the enterprise are free to say that the
proposed Florida ship canal will be con-
structed. The feasibility of the project
appears to have been demonstrated.
Gen. Stone, who has conducted the sur
struction of the canal, in case the COM
pany decides to go ahead with the work,
is a man whose opinion on such matters
is valuable. He asserts confidently that
the digging of this waterway will prove
good investment for the company and
of vast benefit to commerce. According
to Gen. Stone, the estimated cost-he
witholds the figures for the present
sis moderate in comparison with the
volume of business that awaits the
canal" The reason for his faith in the
enterprise may be stated in few words.
The canal, it is claimed would save from
three to seven days time for all the
steamers and sailing vessels going into
and out of the Gulf of Mexico.
This means a direct saving to each
vessel, in salary and running expenses,
of about $1,000. Besides, the naviga-
ton through the Florida Straits is ex-
ceedinSly dangerous, and the annual
losses from wreckage are enormous.
On this account, it is estimated, the ca
nal would save from one to one and a
half per cent. on insurance. And, of
course, with increased safety of naviga-
ton and lower cost, the traffic which
now makes use of the Gulf would large
~ increase. Gen. Stone believes that
within very short time after the COM
pletion of the canal you will find that
very large proportion of the grain and
cotton of the west and northwest, that
goes east by rail, would come down the
Mississippi and through the canal, and
the absurdity of driving cattle from
Texas away up to Kansas and Arkansas,
to be thence shipped by rail to eastern
markets, would also cease. There is no
enterprise now contemplated or in prog
ress that would confer greater benefits
upon the commerce of the world than
the Florida Ship Canal, or that could
depend upon larger business" Per
haps General Stone, in his enthusiasm
for the scheme, magnifes its importance
somewhat. But it is plain enough that
the proposed peninsular canal would be
of wonderful advantage to the COM
merce of this country, and especially of
the southwest.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.

The completion of the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad will annihilate what has
ever since the settlement of America
been a feature of our history-the from
tier. This has gradually moved west
ward, passing the Allegheny Noun
tains, the Mississippi River, the Mis-
souri, River, the Rocky Mountains, and
the completion of this great transconti-
mental railroad will bring it to the Pa
cific Ocean, beyond which it cannot CO.
What the rough characters, of whom
the population of the frontier towns has
been composed, will now do, is ques-
ton. Averse to work and too coarse in
their manners to be contented In decent
society, the civiIizing influences of per
manent settlers has caused them to move
on, and such females as Short and Dirty
and Calamity Jane, who few years ago
were the bellies of Bismarck, Da-
kota, and their male admirers,
have given place to ladies and
gentlemen of good morals and refined
manners. The frontier character, who
is different from the pioneer, is as dis
contented in respectable society as a
rat in a trap. His favorite employment
is drinking and gambling, and when
people came along who were unwilling to
do either, if not both, he began to feel
that he must move on. They may con-
tinue as a class to exist few years
longer by branching out, but this pro-
cess will soon result in their disappear
ance by absorption into the agricultural
or mechanical classes. Every one will
rejoice that their days are numbered,
and will hope that they may display an
industry equal to the reckless courage
for which they have been distinguished.

Commissioners and Passes.

They have model legislature in Ten
nessee, and likewise an admirable board
of railroad commissioners. The legisla-
ture recently passed an act requiring
the railways of the state to furnish free
passes to the board of railway commits
sioners. After its commissioners were
appointed they made request, under
the law referred to-, of the Nashville.
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railroad
Company for passes. The president of
the company refused to recognize the
authority of the legislature to indicate
to the railways of the state to whom they
should issue passes, but told the appi-
cants, that as matter of courtesy his
road would give them permission to ride
free. The commissioners refused to &C
cept the passes as a matter of courtesy,
but proceeded to formally demand them
as their right under the law, and were
promptly refused. Recently, it is stated,
the commissioners went to the railway
managers and offered to take passes on
any terms.

was a surprise to the spectators,
Teemer winning, with Ross second and
Hosmer third. Time, 1928, 1880,
1885. At the first turn, Hanlan,
Elliott and Hosmer were swamped by
the swell from the paddles of an excur-
sion steamer. The prizes, $500, 1926,
and $120, were awarded to the re-
spective winners. In the consolation
race on the 21st, there were eight
starters, Lee, Elliott, Plaisted, Ten
Eyck, Gaisel, p M. Hamm, Mckay and
Driscol. The start was made at 1855.
The water was pretty rough and the men
scattered. Ten Eyck led with Mckay
second, and Elliott third. On the quarter
mile, Mckay pulled ahead, and the men
finished as follows Mckay first, II
minutes and II seconds Ten Eyck Sec
ond, II minutes and 81 seconds; Elliott
third, II minutes and II seconds.
Plaisted was swamped.. The purse was
$50, $50 and $25.
