Adjacent Manchuria, which may
hereafter be known merely as an APP
panage of the Amur province, has vast
forests and valleys, in which swarm
various valuable fur bearing animals,
and immense plains which support
herds of cattle, horses and sheep. There
is gold in both provinces, besides the
equally precious ginseng, and great de-
posits of iron and coal in Manchuria,
While the climate ranges from frigid to
temperate, the temperature in summer
rising to so degrees and in winter fall
ing far below the freezing point.
The two detectives for which Russia
of late has been fighting are Blagovest-
chensk, on the Amur, and Newchwang,
on the gulf of Liau-Tong, far to the
south, the only treaty port in Manchu-
ria. Russian troops have been victori-
Gus in both places, but only after the
committal of atrocities which, perpe-
trated upon any other nation than
the Chinese, would have excited the
sympathetic horror of the civilized
world. Indeed, while from his mouth
the bear has breathed nothing but the
gospel of peace sweetness and light,
with his paws he has been clawing his
way into the heart of the enemy's coun-
try. Like the wolf in the fable, he
accused the Chinese lamb of rolling the
waters of the Amur near its source,
though the W1IleSS lamp was many
hundred miles nearer it's mouth than
he; and another similar fable-that of
the lion and the lambs called to mind
by the simultaneous quietude of the
two parties in question, giving rise to a
strong suspicion that they may have
lain down together-with the lamb in
side!
The centers of population on the
Amur most prominent in connection
with the latest Russian advance are
Blagovestchensk, the provincial capt.
tai, and Khabarovsk, $40 miles nearer
the mouth of the river and 500 miles
distant from V1adivostok, the two last
named places being connected by por-
ton of the Transsiberian railroad al
ready finished With Vladivostok, Rus
sia's great port on the Pacific, readers
are pretty well acquainted, since it has
been placed prominently before them
as the eastern objective of that vast
transcontinental railroad. It's growth

ROYAL OAK DAY.

Although every one knows the origin
of Royal Oak day in England, perhaps
it may be a new historical light to soma
that King Charles owed his safety in
the only exalted position he then occu-
pied more to an owl than an oak. For,
as it happened, on that tree climbing
occasion he was accompanied by his
faithful fowler. who had with him a
pet owl, which he let fly as the Round
heads, chanting their surly hymn and
peering around, passed beneath the fu-
gitive's hiding place. They took for
granted that If a man were hidden in
the oak the fowl would have flown out
before; so they went on their way OBJ
livious of their quarry overhead.
When the king, who was grateful as
well as merry, came into his own again,
in remembrance of his escape he grant
ed to his fowler and his heirs the right
to wear an owl as crest. He also caused
a few guinea pieces to be struck,
showing the owl and oak on the reverse
side, one of which he bestowed on his
quick witted servant, whose descend
ants preserve it to this day as a most
precious relic.
