Redeemed Italy.

The evenness with which Italy is carry
ing herself is matter for as much surprise
as congratnlation. I; is but yesterday that
she took her place among the nations. 1t
might have been expected that the country
would be led away in pursuit of allsorts of
chimeras. But ins.ead of following shadows,
Italy has set herself steadily down to work.
She has accomplished the resump-
ton of specie payments, task achieved
at the cost of enormous sacrifices. She
has built a navy which contains the
three strongest vessels in the world Her
considering the resources of the country. 1t
is, of course, not exactly correct to point to
the strength of nations armament as a
proof of solid progress, but in the case of
Italy it must be remembered that the ability
to defend herself Is the prerequisite of her
national existence. If we wish to ascertain
the real spirit animating Italy We shall find
1t In the answer which she gave when Eng.
land invited her to take part in the Egyptian
expedition. Italy does not lack in the com
ticipation In that expedition would have add
ed greatly to her prestige among the Europe
an powers. But Italy was honest and SELF
denying enough to return TO England the an
swer that she could not afford to take part
in the war, and that her military system was
not such as rendered it easy for her to con-
tribute troops. The italian Government is
In other respects doing its best to encourage
Italians to attend to their own affairs. The
Halia IrredeRta business is being steadily
discouraged. The Government has given its
people to understand that it looks upon the
enemies of Austria as the enemies of Italy,
and that any attempt to promote ill-feeling
between the two countries will be pus down.
Il is significant of a change TO find an Itali
an Government desiring to repress the anti
Austrian feeling among Italians, but the fact
hat such change has taken place is full of
hopeful augury for the future of Italy.

Chinese Temperance Tracts.

Our own temperance tracts are rather
one-sided form of literature. That pint OF
beer (which does not oVer-stimulate'' does
not invariably lead to an early and dishon-

same allowances for the Chinese temperance
tracts which have lately been translated, and
are published, pictures and all, by Messrs.
Partridge & Co. The Chinese moralist does
not warn his countrymen against strong
drink, but against opium smoking. The first
sketch in the Chinese version OF 1.-THE

The degraded wretch now smokes at home,
while his wife weeps. Irritated by her re-

He now lives beside linn in very pretty

moral is that usually drawn from the con-
