of good government in China the authori-
ties are not particular how it is brought
about.
The rapid increase of opium smoking
among his people led the Emperor to make
every effort to restrain this vice by pro-
means, but all in vain. In 1898 the collec-
tive opinion of the highest officials
taken, after hearing arguments for legal
resolved to seize the dealers in it, who were
chiefly Englishmen. This act resulted in the
war with Great Britain, and in the opening
of China to an extended intercourse with
other nations. In 1910 the English fleet cap
tured Chusan, and in the following war the
operations the Chinese agreed to cede Hong
m the y and t. pay na them an
ports Of Amay Foo-Chow-Foo, Ningpo and
trade, and an indemnity of $2i 100000 was
to be paid to the English.
Nor was the remainder of Tau-Kwang's
reign more fortunate than its beginning.
The empire was completely demoralized, re-
bellious outbreaks were of frequent occur

assembled on high and Hien-Fung, his

of the empire, and then approach to Picking

of supplies more than by the imperial
troops. A second war with Great Britain
in 1850 completely broke down the Sc

Emperor Hien-Fung was succeeded by
his fve-year-old son. Tung-Chi, the govern

press Regents and Prince Kung, his uncle.
Beneitting by the friendly relations of the
English authorities engendered by the re-
turn of amicable relations, the Chinese
government succeeded in enliSting Major
Gordon 0he famous Chinese Gordon'), of
the Royal Engineers, in their service. In
a surprisingly short time this officer formed
the troops which formerly had been under
the command of an American named Ward
into formidable army, and without delay
took the field against the rebels.
He quickly succeeded in queting the Tai
Ping rebellion, destroying the Mohamme--
opening up diplomatic intercourse with
treaty powers. With the measures of peace
which were then restored to the country,
trade rapidly revived, and prosperity every

THE UNIVERSAL UNREST
Signs of the Times Indicate "A New

New YORK journal or Commerce.
Everywhere there exists a strange feel
ing of unrest. Strange no less for its vague
ness than because few living men can re-
call parallel to it. 1t is not distinct
form of distrust, nor yet of apprehension;
it is simply an indefinite consciousness OF
a general shifting of conditions, without
any clear conception of the probable out
come of the changes. The times are wholly
Kaleidoscope, and the fieeting changes are
seen as through a glass darby The pro-
cess of transition does not alone apply to
all the civilized populations; it is equally
universal in its appncation TO all the phases
of the life and institutions of the several

years men conscious of having trav-
ersed a vast distance from their former
modes of thought and life; and vet they
have but the faintest idea of what ii all
means, and what is to be the end thereof.
They are. therefore, anxious and watchful
as a mariner without compass.
Much of this transition Is the result of
the great progress in scientific research;
which, il broaders mans knowledge OF
the system and forces of nature, cores

Hetty Green, the richest woman in Ameri-

house to another to escape robbery or as

recently that she needn't mind about wash
ing more than the bottoms of her skirts,
where the dirt shows, and said she.

not pay for unnecessary work. The wash
erwoman thought it IA joke. but found
the next week that there vas no joke
about it. The deduction had to be made.
When one of her buildings on Broad street
was being repaired she kept tab on every
man. One morning painter was five min

and I'd be doing the painting"
