can be successfully exsrted upon the
Chinese people to awaken them TO their
real condition a. compared with the peo-
pie OF other countries; FIRST, war and
diplomacy, which work slowly and spas
medically, but very effectively at times;
secondly, commerce, which "has done
and is doing much along the sea coast;
and thirdly, the missionaries, who push
out into the interior armed with dog.
matte religion, and good works are
slowly making their way, though moi
nearly SO much by the former as the
latter. They are truly the advanced
guard of civilization; and while they
carry its highest and most abstract prin'
ciples to those who are but little fitted by
habit or education to receive or under
stand them, they are surely and steadily
gaining the confidenceand regard of those
among whom they ara laboring. The
more practical their work becomes, the
more rapidly viii good results f1Av from

The ssountain Peaks Of Alaska.

Alaska has the highest mountain peaks
Of the United States. II has volcanoes
and glaciers. and many Of those volca-
noes are in active order. The glaciers Of
Alaska are finer than those OF the Alps.
There is one that extends fifty miles to
the sea, and there ends abruptly in a
perpendicular ice wall 800 feet high and
eight miles broad. Thirty-fivs miles
above Wrangell on tho Stikine river, be-
tween two mountains 5000 feet high,
there is glacier forty miles long and
four or five miles across at the base. 1t
is from 800 to 1000 feet high, and there
are other glaciers throughout the terri
tory from which great blocks containing
hundreds of tons Of ice are constantly
breaking of and falling into the sea.---
