This empire has an area of about 200, 900
square miles, and so is over four times as
large as this State, while its population of
10, 900, 600 is as great as that of all the States
east of the Alleghenies and north of the
Potomac.
The portion of the Indo-Chinese peninsula
which belongs to the empire of AMMAN is
somewhat similar, in some respects, to Italy
in its shape, with mountain range running
along the whole length, about thirty miles
distant from the sea coast and long and
large river, the Cambodia. draining the west
ern slope of the range. The mountains fur
nish ship timber, ebony and other valuable
woods. They are the natural homes of a
hardy. but idle people, who maintain their
own aboriginal customs and are more like
the Malays than like the Chinese.
The portion of AMMAN that is best known
to the world and to commerce is that at the
lower end of the empire watch has always
been called Cochin China, and which in
cludes the rich delta formed by the outflow
OF the Camboda The French hold on the
country was due wholly to the heroic daring,
devotion and enterprise of the French Jes-
ults, who are now prosecuted by the same
French government which is so indignant
about the Entertainment of French Roman
Catholic missionaries by the Emperor of An
nam. The grim humor of the whole idea of
French war for glory" against AMMAN is
enough to make a horse laugh. But the
carrying out of this eccentric idea will be a
costly joke for the poor French people, who
are wandering like sheep without shepherd,
and stumbling into pitfalls innumerable.
