the three big guns for the defense Of the

Experiences in China,
A Journey on the Pehio Life liz
Tien-Tsin.

IT takes a whole week to reach TiCn Tsn, or.
rather, to get opposite Taku, at the mouth Of
the Pchio the city being seventy miles up that
river. All along the coast on each side Of the
river is an immense line of modern forts, well
armed with large, rapid-frng guns of the latest
designs, which are furnished to China by France,
Germany, and England. But Ticn-Tsin is still
better protected by nature itself-by the famous
Taku Bar or sand-banks, which prevent any
large man-of-war from approaching.
Although our steamer drew little water, we
had to wait several hours for favorable winds,
that we might enter the river In summer, the
heat being fright(ul. there is hardly any water in
the river. and in winter for four months the gulf
and river are frozen hard and all communication
is interrupted The Peho presented won
derful sight, thousands Of junks sailing up and
down, with most of the Chinese boatmen having
for all and only garment their long ku, which
is not very hdbiHe, and all Of them singing,
screaming, yelling, cursing, and making the
most terrible noise | ever heard. With all these
red and yellow noisy devils around, it looked to
me like hell on earth The water Of the river
cannot possibly be called water it is mud
thick, yellow, dirty mud-a stream of lighter
mud running between banks Of thicker mud,
covered with small, low houses built Of mud
and baked by the sun. On the shore are thou
sands and thousands of children, together with
dogs and black pigs. After hearing that men,
women, dogs, pigs, chickens, and donkCys all
sleep in the same room, one is not surprised to
see the children playing with the pigs. Oh,
the thousands and thousands Of children jump
ing and swimming like fish in the yellow mud
Of the Pehio! All were naked but not indecent,
they had such coat of mud.
To navigate that river may he fun for the
passengers, but it is certainly not SO for the
officers and crew of a steamer. Every few
minutes the river changes its direction and
turns to the left or the right at an angle
of seventy degrees, and as the river in some
places is not so wide as the length Of the
steamer, the latter frequently runs into the
banks of mud, cutting into the field and break
ing away pieces of ground. SOmetimes-l may
saw quite often-it sticks to the shores in such
q way that it stays there for days, preventing
all other steamers from going up or down Our

THE TERM puritan
Doubtless many persons are ignor-
ant OF the origin and Specification of
this term, as applied in general to a
large body Of christians. and in par
ticular to a large class OF the early
settlers of New England.
In the days of bloody Mary. when
the fires of Smithfield blazed, and
the bodies of the pious Protestants
of England became fuel to the flames
many fed to foreign countries to en-
joy the liberty denied them at home.
A new liturgy was prepaid, and the
use of the surplice discontinued. But
upon the arrival of DR.. Cox the re-
sponses of the English liturgy were
introduced. One party agreed and
another disagreed. The party that
could not, with good conscience,
submit to the inventions and impo-
sitions of men in the worship OF God,
exerted their zeal, their labors and
their influence to promote purer
reformation, and hence received the
appellation of Puritans, which has
been retained as distinguishing
mark ever since.

it has shown any peculiar correct

care he has taken in the execution Of
his work, as he wrote it over three
times before he sent it to the press"
Nevertheless he made an egregious
blunder in spite of his great care !;
for, having inserted in his history
that if ever the national debt came
up to one hundred millions, this
country would be ruined, he was
asked by friend how hecould make
such mistake, as that debt was al
