THE FRENCH DRIVEN BACK. Their Fleet Fails To Get Up tho Min
 River.
 LONDON, Aug. 24.-A dispatch just re- ceived from Foo Chow says that the French ironclads, eight in number, again entered the river Min at o'clock this afternoon and attempted to demolish the forts between the mouth of the river and the arsenal. Owing to the fact that ships of heavy draft, such as the French men-of-war, have to wind through 8 narrow, difficult chan nel in entering the river, and the danger of instructions having been placed in the river during the night necessarily made the French fleet proceed slowly. This gave the Chinese an opportunity of making their fire from their forts more effective, and so well did they handle their guns that the French fleet were compelled to retire in an hour after the first shot was fired.
 SHANGHAI, Aug. 26-One of the French ironclads on the attempted expedition up the Min received such 8 horrible blow from the enemy's guns that she barely escaped sink ing. The attack by the French fleet will be- gin again at 3 o'clock to-day (Tuesday). Night traffic on the Canton river has been prohibited.

A Royal Land rabber.

1t was in the year 1751 that the Prin-
cess Amelia. daughter of George II,
was appointed Ranger of Richmond
Park and the old stile-ladders, by
which in former times the public could
enter and leave the park, having been
removed and replaced by gates, under
the pretense that the latter would be
more convenient and that the keepers
would always be on hand to open them,
the. d Princess thought she might go a,
step further and close the gates except
to the holders of tickets granted by her
royal condescension. There were many
people who did not care to take the
pains to assert their rights, but it did
not suit one JohnLewis, sturdy brewer
Of Richmond, to have his walks cur
tailed by Princess fantasy. Accord
ingly, presenting himself one day at the
gate, which happened to be half open,
he was passing through when he was
stopped by the keeper with q demand
for his ticket Il have none; this is
free passage" said Lewis. But the
keeper persisted in his demand and
Lewis allowed himself to be taken by
the shoulder and showed back. He

the ancient rights of free ingress and
egress, and the Princess was ordered to
keep the gates constantly open or re-
place the old stile- ladders. She chose
the latter alternative, but constructed
the ladders after such fashion that no
one but a skilled gymnast could mount
them. The Court was applied to again
and when the Princess was ordered to
so construct the ladders that old men
and children and even old women could
use them, she resigned her Rangership
in disgust There was little more heard
of the stiles, the gates were thrown
open, and, thanks in great measure
to worthy John Lewis, the public is
free to pass them atwill. ThePrincess
Amelia, it may be mentioned, had an
hereditary tendency to shut up parks.
Her mother, Queen Caroline, wanted to
do the same thing with st. James
Park in London, but when she asked
Walpole what it would cost to close it
to the people, his,reply, ''Only a crown,

Jealous Men the Successful Ones.

AS far as natural endowments deter
mine, the jealous men are par eminence
the successful ones. But they have q
besetting sin which, being intrinsic, is
therefore, perhaps, not quite sin
bigotry. Except in the case of great
creative minds, it is necessary to be
somewhat partial in order to succeed
in affairs. Bwad culture is seldom
efficient in any immediate way; narrow,
intense purpose accomplishes the hard
enterprises of the world, and is every
where at a premium among those who
are interested in getting things done.
l have a respect for bigots and parti-
sans, and believe that the world owes
great debt to intolerant, one-sided men.
1t must have them; it could not push
its reforms, or get it's rough, unpleasant
work done else. Narrow men are
edged men, men of single and deter
mined purposes; and in their purposes
they are apt to succeed. The liberal,
the spirits of insight, really rule all,
though they are not always seen to do
so; they create the thoughts that direct
the world forces. But they turn over
their thoughts to armies of stirring par
tisans, who adjust by force of arms the
claims of opposing truths. The philos-
opherwould prefer to wait for evolution,
and to let things settle themselves
quietly; but the reformers cannot wait.
for this. So they organize boards, wage
religious wars, and piously burn the
witches. There is q sad waste of force
in these proceedings; but men promise
to become wiser in course of time, and
meanwhile the machine creals slowly
along, and some progress is made

The total length of the German rail-
ways is $4,000 kilometers, or 1880 En-.
glish miles, of which 1854 kilometers
are main lines. In the aggregate the
capital value of the German railways is
about 800, 100000 sterlings. The large
proportion of %, 17S kilometers out of
the total are State lines, and of this
again 1895 kilometers are owned by
Prussia, which, as was lately intimated,
now proposes to buy up the chief pri-
vate lines remaining in that Kingdom
at cost of about 23,000,000 sterling.
Before manv years are over it is prob
able that the German States will own
the whole of the railways, and-which
is not probable in France, for example
will get large profit out of their
working. German politics are wonder
fully methodical and business-like.
Laxity in the conduct of railways by
State officials, especially Prussian,
would no more be tolerated than laxity
on the field of battle. The money spent
on railways by the German Govern
ment is one of the few instances of
really profitable reproductive State eX-
penditure. Chiefly wanted for strate-
gical purposes in time of war, the lines
are nevertheless worked on commercial
principles in time of peace. Accounts
are published for the five months ended
with May last, from which it appears
that the combined railways of Germany
had gross traffic receipts of 373, 800, 900
marks, or nearly 19,000,000 sterling,
being at the rate of 45,000,000 per an
mum; and the increase last year for the
five months is G713,000, OF 81 per cent.
If this rate OF progress continues the
earlier the Governments of Germany
buy up the whole system tho better in
vestment the railways win be. for the
lines are no source of loss, as it is under
State control, Pail NoU Gazette.
