SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2-Minister

eye on the newspaper dispatches from
Seoul and Yokahoma. He said last
night that he could not believe all Of

government that when there was serious
fighting he should be apprised at once.

One Of the principal tests by which
we may estimate the degree OF civiliza-
ton to Which a nation has attained. is
its treatment OF woman. When man
was a savage, woman was no more than
companion animal. When he attained
to the stage Of a barbarian. and had
enough intelligence to abandon caves
and build for himself dwelling. woman
became the household drudge, doing the
heavy labor Of the field also. and being
a chattle. disrosable at the pleasure OF
her lord or master. Among the Greeks,
the Romans and the Jews. her condition
was somewhat improved, but polygamy
was awful, The Teutonic nations of the
nineteenth century have placed her on
a higher plane, and she is accorded
respect and Difference that excites the
astonish ment of Orientals. among many
of whom woman is treated as being
without a mind to be cultivated or q
soul to be saved. 1t is. however, in ouI
own country that q woman has attained
the position Of the beloved and honorec
queen. In truth it may be said that
among the better classes. all things ex
ist for woman. TherailrOads, especially
take every means to provide tor hel
safety aud her comfort, and II she !:
travelling alone. great pains are taken Z
insure her pleasant journey. In thii
respect, THE Burlington takes th'
lead, and the Burlington Route is wide
