ONE OF CHINA's CITIES.
Canton, Where the Plague Comes From,
and It ISN'T surprIsing.

Canton, Where the Plague Comes From,
and 1t Isn't Surprising.
A line or two from Mrs Archibald
Dunn's new book gives 4 striking pic
ture Of the horrors of life in Canton.
1.-THE circumference Of the city walls
measures from SIX to seven miles, and
within their enclosure there exist
81, 900, 900 Chinese people. I had been
in many oriental cities and smelt
many oriental smells, but those of
Canton says Mrs Dunn, s'were
giants of them all The passage-like
streets are open sewers, every de-
scription of refuse being cast into
them and forming continuous heaps
on either side of the way. The water
supply is raised from wells in the
streets, the mouths of which are on a
level with the ground, and a shower
of rain, or drippings from the buckets
in which they lift it must carry back
the surrounding filth in way horri-
BILE to think of. Through miles and
we travel, through the most fetid, air
less atmosphere that human lungs
could cope with, through the most
evil and nOisome doors that could as
sail human nostrils, past the most
loathsome sights in the shape of alb
normal butcher meat=such as dogs
and cats, skinned and dressed ready
for cooking; rats, both dried and
hanging alive by the tails; frogs and
unnatural-l looking fish in tubs Of
water, alive, and awaiting death and
consumption.

poem originally appeared in print in
the New York Daily Graphic in 1876.
Mrs. Spaulding still has in her posses
sion a note from Editor Croffut aecept
ing the poem, complinnenting it in the
highest terms and regretting that The
Graphic could not pay for poetry, no
matter how meritOrious. This letter has
proved Mrs. Spaulding's claim and has
COMPOUNDED many an impostOr. The
words Of Fate follow:
Two shall be born the whole wide world apart
And speak in different tongues and have no
thought
Each Of the others being. and no heed
And these Ger unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross. escaping wreck. defying death.
And. all unconsciously. shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one end
That one day out of darkness they shall meet
And read iife's meaning in each others eyes
And two shall walk some narrow way Of life
so nearly side by side that. should one turn
Ever SO little space TO right or left
They needs must stand acknowledged face to
face.
And yet, with vvistful eyes that never meet.
With cropping hands that never clasp and lips
Calling In vain TO ears that never hear
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisfied. and that is fatei
Mrs. Spaulding was born in Bath,
Ne, and received her education there
She was married while very young, and
her welded life was exceedingly happy,
but death soon robbed her Of her hus-
band. She is described as a charming
woman, with rare conversational pow
ers and vast fund Of entertaining in
formation. She has written considera-
bic poetry besides s'Fate, - and her son
nets have been particularly admired by
discriminating critics Her best known
poem is the only blank verse that has
ever come from her pen.

A WONDERFUL BABY.
A Phenomenon That Surpasses the Pow

A Phenomenon That Surpasses the Pow
ers OF Pedagogues and NEEDLES.
A real infant phenomenon keeps all
the medical men and pedagogues . Of
the good old town of Brunswick, in
Hanover, in a state of wonder and de-
light. The little son of a local butch
er, baby just years old, can read
with perfect ease any thing written
or printed in German or Latin charac-
tiers. A few weeks ago three Bruins
wick doctors had the baby introduced
to them at the house of one of the
learned gentlemen. The first thing
the little one did when brought into
the consulting room was to stand
on his toes at the table, read
ing out from the books that
were lying about. All that could be
ascertained as to the why and where
fore of this uncanny accom- plishment
is that. when the baby was Is months
old and his grandmother took him
out. he always Immediately caught
sight of the inscriptions over shops,
and asked about them as only a sma ]
child can ask, until he had fathOmed
the meaning of the letters. 1t was
the same at home; books and news
papers had greater destinations than
lOllipops and toys, and whatever the
parents playfully told him he rem en-
bered, with the result that at the age
of . years he reads with perfect ease.
Apart from his accomplishment in
reading the boys development is
quite normal

On Tuesday last the House of Represent
atives adopted by large majority rule re-
quring two teIlers to be appointed by the
Speaker before calling the roll on any ques-
ton, which tellers shall count enough mem
bers who are present but fail TO vote to make,
with those voting, quorum. During the
day the rule was put into practice and Sc.
cured the desired result. Ex-Speaker Reed
seemed to think the adoption of the rule
vindicatiOn of his autocratic and unprece.
dented course during the Fifty first Con,
gress, but the Democrats take different
view. The Democrats affirm that there Is
much difference between a rule formally
adopted by the House requiring tellers to
count quorum and rule evolved arbitra
rily out of the head Of the speaker by which
the Speaker himself did the counting. 1t is
TO be added that the rule is adopted now by
the Democratic majority only because the
whole Republican minority conspired to Sc.
cure Mr. Reed this seeming vindcation.-
All the business of the House was blocked
for this sole purpose, not because the mat
tiers under consideration were Objectionable
TO the Republicans. The latter have de-
sired, under stress OF their record, to see ira
dtional usage changed, while the Demo.
Gratis, more conservative, preferred the old
way. Ia itself the new principle IS rea-
sonable one. The majority should rule
The Senate should adopt like method of
arriving at vote.

In a Bad Way.

When Democrats open themselves to the
praise OF Republicans it is because the former
have deserted their party aud surrendered
their Democracy.
There have been several cases brought to
our attention where the Republican press
have Landed Democrats for treachery to
their constituents, and the Democrats of
various districts referred to the facts with
vigor. The latest is from the State of New
York. There the Republicans, delighting
To see a man fall from his high estate Of De-
