says:
AS an indication that times are bet.

the Peace of our city, Coroner and Crier
of the Hunterdon County Courts, was
promenading Union street on Saturday
last wearing high hat From appear

JOHN ON HIS TRAVELS.
rhe Chinese Diffusing Themselves
Over Many Parts of the World.


People have little idea" said Mr.. A. II.
Shattuck, who arrived in this city from Can
ton last week, how rapidly the passion for
emigrating is growing in China. The whole
Southern Asiatic coast and many OF the Pa
cific islands are filling with Chinese. In
spite of our prohibitory law not few Chi
nese still manage to smuggle themselves in
our country, and they are fairly swarming
in many places where nothing is done TO
keep them out.
I'm 1871 only q few thousand Chinese
lived in Singapore. To-day the new China
town is the feature Of tho place. Singa-
pore now has sc, 900 Chinese residents, and
last year 600 Chinese landed in the
city on their way TO other parts Of the coast.
Cochin China, which is now French prov.
ince, is rapidly filling with Chinese. Here,
as in all other parts Of the south coast OF
Asia, tho Chinese excel the natives in intelli-
gence, education, and business quali6ca-
tions. They assert their superiority in
many ways, and treat most OF the natives as
their interiors. In Cochin China the Chi
neSe merchants nave aD5OrDeu tHe Brtiter
part Of the trade. They can beat the ma
tives selling their own products, and many
Of them are rich.
''In Australia the Chinese are growing
in numbers They control the trade Of me
Gilbert Islands and are gaining ground in
Hawaii. In many of the Pacific islands,
like Fiji, where there is considerable trade,
visitor is likely to see group Of Chinese
before his eye lights on native. The Chi
nese are overfunning Burmah and there is
large colony Of them at Mandalay. A
large party of travelling merchants who
were on the road in Burmah few weeks
ago were mistaken by the British troops
for dacoits. The soldiers fred upon them,
and several of the poor fellows were killed.
This increasing migration among the
hofdes of China Is one of the most interest
ing signs Of the times. The Mongolians
are gradually diffusing themselves over a
large part Of the world---a fact that deeply
concerns many nations, and that is also in
dicatiye Of the great changes going on In
China, from which emigration would have
been impossible years ago."

lation of Joe, whose ever cheerful coun-
tenance was bcclonded with shade of
sorrow, perceptible over the shade nature
had placed there in early childhood -
That fell monster toothache had been at
work for nearly month and yet his cour-
age had not been screwed up to sufi-
cient high notch, that would enable him
to visit tho extractor Of roots, for sure
cure. A white brother whose bowels of
compa ssion were moved, pursuaded him
at last to seek relief, by the use of cold
steel, in the hands Of DR.. Balderston. AS

Scarborough had always been a good
friend Of the family, il would be 20 more
than right to go up to his house and let
him have the satisfaction of trolling the
half dollar down in his pocket During
the walk up there, remarks were made on
the theme, uppermost in bis mind. "I've
been to several camps, Eve marched in
parades, I've fought men singly, double
and in groups, I've done good things and
bad and now rather than go in that chair
would jump out in the road with twenty
men in rough and tumble fight and take
my chances" As the residence of the
dentist was approached and that gentle
man discovered through the blinds, clad
in his evening wrapper, he broke forth
again, in widest strains, II can't do it
you know; Doctor, I've got no half dollar
for you, you can't have any pleasure to-
night at my expense; oh. it's too bad to
be such duced coward, but can't help
it; don't give it away He told him he
would not and their steps were retraced
to the place Of starting, where relief was
found. TMAT.

Mr.. Gladstone in his recent discussion
of the scheme of home rule for Ireland

each of the two countries constituting
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy has its
own Parliament, Ministers and Govern.

them consist in the person of the hered.

navy and diplomacy, and in a control

jurisdiction of which is limited to for

form Parliament of one hundred and
