The Rudson's Bay Expedition.

two years, which left Halifax, under

many years Canadian exporters IN THIS
province have been put to considerable
inconvenience by having to send all
their freights for Europe either 70
American Atlantic ports or to Montreal
ana Halifax for shipment. The people
OF Ontario are not satisfied to give their
freight toAmerican steamship companies
TO handle all the year round If it can be
avoided, and the Grand Trunk company
discriminates against them in freight
rates and in favor of Montreal and east
ern province merchants. 1t took twenty

LONDON, August 26.-General Woolse-
ly will proceed to Egypt at once to

A Times Foo Chow dispatch, dated
yesterday, says: There has been a
heavy bombardment of the Mingan forts
by the French fleet since day-break this
morning. The forts are believed to have
been silenced. No attack has been
made on the Kin Pal forts.

outward mail boat stopped here to-day

able on Woo Sung, in order to clear thu

different points to Hudson's bay were
made, and these railways have to-day an
existence-like many other roads-on
paper only. These surveys were found
70 De satisfactory, and only one thing
remained to determine the feasibility of
establishing a direct route between On
tarlo II Europe without going outside
OF this province. There was a doubt
whether the waters OF Hudson's bay
were navigable d sufficient length of
II during the year to warrant the ex-
pendlture OF building a railway to con
meet Its southern shores with the Ontario
railway system. 1t was for the purpose
OF getting reliable information on his
point that the government, sent out the
expedition TO Hudson's bay, above refer
req to.
The Canadian Pacific railway, when
completed as far as Calender, in the
Nlpissing district, the farthesI point
north in Ontario that it will touch will
be within 800 miles of James bay (Hud-
sons bay.) 1t is from this point,
therefore, That the Lake Nipissing &
James Bay railroad will run. The road
will cost $lS,0O0 per mile and the whole
undertaking about $1,000, 900. Between
Ontario and the Hudson's bay are stu
ated the most valuable mining and
timber lands in Canada, and biologists
who have explored the country asserts
that large deposits Of coal and iron are to
be found in some parts Of it. If steam
ship communication between James bay
and Europe can be established this road
would be a paying enterprise, for besides
the large amount of traffic it would be
assured from the cattle and grain export
ing trade alone, the amount Of trade
from the Hudsons bay territory in the
way Of products from the whale and seal
fisheries would be large. The Lake
Nipissing & James Bay railway is the
NEST likely scheme to connect with
Hudson's bay by rail and is the one
that will probably be carried out if the
navigation of the bay during a reason
able length of time is found to be prac-

Chinese disregard of HWnean Life.

Lieutenant HE Hon. II. n. Shore,
Il. n, ~ the course of am interesting
article he has contributed to the cur
rent number OF The Army and Macy
Magazine SAYS There is one great
blot ON the naval and military syS-
TENS rf China hitherto unnOtictd,
which, so far us can be ascertaIncd,
moderu reforms have left untouched,
and that is the entire absence of any
medical service, or of mean for the
treatment OF sick and wounded in
war. There are no surgeons in Ell
ther the army or the navy ; and the
amount of physical suffering hat
must inevitably follow in the wake of
Il Chinese army in the field is almost
too appalling to contemplate. Such
IL dpplOrable and disgracetul state Of
things can only be attributed to the
Small estimation in which human life
is held in China, as we'll as to the to-
tai absence among The people OF
those humanisng influences which
have done So much to mitigate the
horrcrs Of war among Western IA
tons. But the science and practice
Of surgery is of so recent introduce
ton that one cannot look for the
same general recognition of its value
among the Chinese as obtains in
Europe. That no steps should have
been taken, however, or even consi-
drrcd necessary, in view of the pos
sibility of war, by those high officials
who have themselves repeatedly reap
ed the advantages derived from sound
surgical skill, as opposed to the ignor,
ance and ~chicanery of native quacks,
is as much a disgrace to them as

Mr.. Editor.

To the statistical tables for 18>1-S2,
printed by you in your last, l am now able
to add a few notes about the year 1888.
I shall give only the numbers, leaving all
reflections on them to your readers, adding
but this remark, that, as you remember,
1883 was a year which in every country,
tropical or not, would be called even very
healthy. The year had $40 births. There
have in the same year died 276 children of
1 year of age and younger, Accordingly
more than the half number of the children
born lave not reached an age of one year.
And besides these 276 deaths of infants we
have SAT deaths, in all S23 deaths against
$40 births. 1t means, that there are 2S3
deaths more than birthS.-It must be grant
ed that some births may not as yet have
been reported, but nevertheless the year
1883 must give q shocking deficit.
Yours resp.

" Taken at the FlOOd."

Every reader of history knows the
story, how the gallant Sir Walter
Raleigh spread his cloak beneath the
royal feet Of Elizabeth and was re-
warded with his sovereigns smile and
speedy restoration to favor. Potemkin,
the favorite of Catherine II. and the
founder of the powerful Russian
family which bears his name
would doubtless have re-
manned an obscure soldier had not a
trivial incident-a chance, in fact
changed his destiny. After Catherine
had deposed her weak husband and her
self assumed the scepter, she was accus-
burg, sword in hand at the head of her
troops. One day Potemkin noticed her
sword bore no knot. He boldly stepped
forward, Drawing the knout for his in
subordination, and offered his. The
czarina accepted it, and struck by the
handsome young lieutenant, asked his
name and regiment and if he would not
like to serve in the palace. Haul Pasha, the
sultan's chief of artillery and most trusted
adviser was tanner. Employed in the
palace, he offered to mend valuable
French clock, as no clockmaker was
available, ana did the work so WELL the
sultan babe him lay aside his timers
service and serve him. Robert Wilson,
one of England's best generals, owes his
elevation from desk in solicitors
office to a chance meeting with the duke
OF York in the rain George Stephen
son, the inventor Of the locomotive, was
born with taste for mechanics At u very
tender age he was compelled to work as
pit-boy at two pence day to help
support the family. Deep in the mines.
shut out from everything that cheered
the senses, yonng Stephenson found much
TO stimulate his mechanical bent. He
mastered the hosting machinery and
longed to be allowed charge of it. One
day the engineer Glanced to stumble and
injare himself. Young Stephenson
promptly offered to supply his place and
proved his skill so we'll that the mine
superintendent gave him permanent
charge of the machinery, and thus gave
him an opportunity to observe and think
and build until the Rocket appeared as
result of his labors.

Anarchy in Africa.

We learn from African travellers of the
existence by custom, in some of the West
African States, of general anarchy and
tolerated hostility during the interreg-
mum between the death of king and
the enforcement of his successor. When
the king of Ashantce dies, his women
destroy his treasures, and general I'M
restricted licence, robbery and murder
prevail in the country; and a similar
season of disorder ensues on the death
of the chief in Whydah, Benin and other
States. Waltz remarks in his 'Anthro.
pology of Savages," concerning the du-
ration and extent of this license: Usage
has limited the anarchy to a definite and
short time, and it is admitted by all that
the disorder in no way works a real dis
solution of all social Londs, but is only to
be regarded as sudden relaxation of them
which, Notwithstanding that all sorts of
outrage are let loose, is always CON
trolled by custom, and induces no ma
tcrial damage to society" In Ashantee,
the seasoc of restraint may last for five
days; in other states it NAV continue for
a considerably longer time,as in Loango,
where it prevails for several months. In
Dahomey, the death of the king is not
made known for eighteen months, while
the heir, assisted by the two highest
officers, reigns in his name during this
whole period. This eighteen months seem
to mark the time during which a legal
anarchy formerly prevailed, though il
may now have been done away WITH
