Test OF Asiatic empires is likely TO bring
in its train many wretched results. Not
only will it. if long continued, be at
tended with slaughter and desolation.
but 1t will greatly impede the COM
merco of the rest of the world with
China; it will imperIl the property and
the lives Of the Europeans resident in
Chinese ports: and it will render the
position of Christian missionaries one
Of near and great danger.
Nor is this all. A war between these
two powers may lead to still greater
confiagration. A quarrel may easily
arise out of it between several of the
European powers themselves. Inter-
national rights may be violated and
national iealousles aroused, SO as TO
embroil Europe in conflict the end of
which no one could pretend to foresee.
The event, therefore, is misfortune
OF the world, which will once more
have to deplore the restless and grasp.
ing ambition which seeks territory and
gain by the savage method of warfare.

The Ostrich.

On Afr1ca's desert sands the ostrich
nas his home. He is massive feath-
cred vegetable or the genus bigbirdi.
He is manly composed of stalk, with
a few .s.esves" on each elbow and at
the end of his coat-tail.
The male ostrich is lazy aud allows

sues the Egyptian locust and green
bottle fly across the arid plains OF
"Araby the Blest." She plants the
seeds of posterity deep in the desert
sands, then gazes with an approving
smile while the sun brings forth the
feathered crop.
Of late years the attempt has been
been made to force the ostrich to be-
come naturalized American citi en-,
but the attempt has about proved a
failure, owing to the eccentrlcity of
the climate and the bad habits he had
acquired since becoming q citizen of
this free and glorious republic.

lips, was an emergency man, and
never failed to show himself super
ior to q mob, as the following in
stance will show: When at the
meeting of the Anti-Slavery So
ciety, in fremont Temple, in Jan
uary, 1861, Wendell Philips faced
a bowling mob of 400 or 500, who
had come there to prevent his
speaking, Mr.. Phillips finding his
voice drowned. addressed himself
to the reporter in front of him I'M
til the crowd yelled LOUDER"
Turning upon his deriders, he ex-
claimed, "Howl on! I address
here [pointing to the reporter]
thirty millions of people" From
that time Phillips had the press at
his back, and it gave him great
power. He had the sense to under
stand what q power q united press
amounts to. and the cleverness to
win it over to him with single
stroke of rhetoric.

THE END OF SALMI MORSE.

The suicide of Salmi Morse calls
to mind his unsuccessful attempt
to produce the passion Play, q
work to which he had devoted the
best energies of his life. He wrote
the play from the purest motives,
and there was really nothing in it
which in any way excused the
rabid Recommendations which it called
forth from certain quarters. especi-
ally the pulpit The raid on the
play came merely rom persc.s who
had never seen it and were not fair
enough to submit it to the test. nor
did the clergy stop at denoncing the
play, they went beyond the bonds
or Christian decency and attempted
to blacken his character. The
poor fellow is supposed to have
sought the waters of New York Bay
to escape from the honnds and
bigots who took his trail and
seemed determined to camp upon
it forever. It is to be hoped that
some of those who meanly be-
lied his name while living, will
have the Christian charity to do
him Justice now. Morse might
have been 3 weak man. but not
bad one.

A BIG BLAZE.
The Largest Tannery in the World De-
strOyed by Fire.

CINCINNATI, April 2I-The Ameri-
can Oak Leather tannery, occupying
the square bounded by Kenner street,
Mclean avenue, and Dallon and Flor
ence streets, burned at an early hour
this morning, except the Japanning
department, which was saved by the
desperate work of the fire department.
There were 5000 hides in the factory.
The loss will reach $400, 900 insurance,
$500, 600. Portions Of the tannery were
burned year ago. -Four hundred pc =
pie are thrown out of employment
The insurance was mainly placed in
local companies and in companies rep
resented here. The fire originated in
the drying-room above the boiler, and
was discovered by the watchman
while lighting a fire under the boiler
about 9 o'clock this morning. The
speed of the flames was rapid and the
spectacle one of remarkable brlliancy,
as the great building seemed 10 be all
ablaze ut once. There were many mar
row escapes from falling walls, but no
injuries reported. The establishment
was the largest of its kind in the
world, the capital stock being 81, 0O0.-
900. There is no question of the abili-
ty of the company TO repair its loss
and proceed with its business.
