Arthur,s Crocodile Tears.

81. Louis Republican, (DeDt.)
President Arthur INDUCES little piece OF
senegambian demagOgism in the closing words
Of his message respecting the recent civil
rights. He is lachrymOse over the failure OF
the Congressional civil-rights act and would
unhesitatingly approve any law intended TO
secure the negroes their rights. This is an I'M
usually thin. if not glitterlDg generality. He
does not even hint what kind Of law ought to
be passed. He knows full well that under the
recent decision Congress can pass no law OF
any binding force on this subject.

Where Power Resides in China.
Iou6on Spectator,

LOHdOH spectator.
We are often, asked wherein, the great
Empire of China, power really resides.
and we believe the best short statement
is this: Subject to certain immOvable
customs. the Emperor, in his capacity of
father of the people, can in theory give
anv order, and can in practice punish
with deeapitatiOn or exile any official or
person who disobeys it. He is, in all Sc
rious affairs, however, obliged to consult,
though not obey, a rather large group of
princes of his dynasty and great man.
darins. who divide the departments and
the great viceroyalties among themselves.
The dynasty. moreover, being foreign, is
compelled to respect the army to
some extent; while this army
is. for financial reasons, so limited
i'm number that it is difficult
to garrison the empire, and impossible
TO hold it down for an hour. 1t is the
tradition of the court, therefore, never
seriously to offend either the army or the
Deople in such way as to provoke
er1eutes, more especially in Pekln. At
present the Emperor is boy, only just II
wears of age. and all real authority be-
iongs to a widow of the last full-grown
Fmperor. Hen Fung-whO is called the
Empress Mother, but is not the mother of
fine Emperor-to Prince Kung, Ii Hung
Chang. the fayorite of the native Chinese,
and two or three less known high officials.
They can send out any order they please,
and are obeyed, but they cannot afford to
risk the Instruction which would follow
any great affront to the pride OF the peo-
pie, such as the cession OF Ion9ui n would
he. China. in fact, is a more solid Turkey,
with Sultan, Pashas, army, and mob
sharing power in unequal degrees. AS in
Turkey, too, all four are bound in the
chain of a law which cannot be modified.

Curious Steam Engines.

Something novel in the way of steam
engine manufactures is being established
at Nashville. The engine to be made will
be very similar to the small ones used on
narrow gauge roads, but are made with
crooved wheels to run on round pine poles
instead Of an ordinary track. The pole
roads are very cheap, as the trees are cut
down, laid the right distance apart and
secured by pegs driven into the ground.
Little or no grading will be required,
and with good force OF hands several
miles can be laid in a day. The roads are
especiallV adapted to hauling lumber.
earth and ores, and for military transport
tation. Similar roads are now in use at
some of the saw mills in Georgia and
Florida. but at present, we believe, they
are only used by mule cars. The engines
will be constructed for strength rather
than speed, and will, it is claimed, be able
to pull heavy loads up steep grades, and
the wheels will have considerable lateral
play. so as to adapt themselves to inc
qualities in the width of the track.
The difficulties to be overcome in the
perfecting Of such an engine are great,
and the present enterprise can hardly be
considered more than experimental, but if
il proves a success the system of trans
portatiOn il involves will prove great
factor in the development of hitherto in
accessible portions Of the country.
OF course trains of carswill have to be
run very slowly on such roads as are
here contemplated, as the liability to ac-
cidents will be very great on account of
the temporary and unsubstantial charac-
ter Of the road beds, and the mill men and
others interested will be slow to take hold
of the system until its practicability shall
have been demonstrated beyond doubt.
