men. and they two Of the best fitted men
for the place that the whole empire can pro-
vide. Mr. Chang is well known as one OF the
great Yangtse Viceroys who did so much good
for China and for the world in the stormy days
of the Boxer revolt. He was also one OF those
chiefly consulted in the negotiation OF the new
commercial treaty between China and Great
Britain which abolishes the likin and effects
benefcent revolution in the whole commercial
system OF China. Such a man is manifestly well
fitted 10 be a Minister of Commerce. Mani
festly, too he will have a fitting colleague IN
Mr. WI, who is so familiar with the world out
side of China, and particularly with this coun-
try, which is one OF China's chief commercial
customers and which seems surely destined IN
the near future TO be the chief Of them all.
We shall miss Mr.. WI. but if his works shall
follow him, in the form Of maintenance of the
open door and increased facilities for trade, our
regret at his departure will be tempered with
practical consolation. AS for China, she is to
be congratulated on being able so effectively
and auspiciously to man a department Of her
government which is second to no other in its
Importance TO her welfare.

CLUB LIFE IN NEW-YORK.

A well known club in Fifth-ave., an organiza-
ton OF the foremost rank, has the names of
more than eight hundred candidates for mem
bership on its waiting list This is one OF many
evidences OF the astonishing development OF
club life In New-York. To a multitude Of un-
married men the fascinations of we'll managed
clubs are almost Irresistible. and it has often
been suspected that they discouragers Of
matrimony. Bachelors and widowers OF fair
incomes get so much enjoyment in the spacious
and well appointed homes of these associations
that 1t is believed an increasing number Of them
are disinclined 10 content themselves with the
tranquil atmosphere of family life and the
duties and diversions Of the domestic hearth.
In the competition between the allurements OF
the most prosperous sodalities, fraternities and
ike oodles OF good fellows, whose tastes, senti-
ments ana aims are largely in accord, and the
mild ana penignant sway of household Lares
and Penates' the clubs too often prevail espe-
cially in the evenings The clubs of New-Yorl,
are constantly becoming more important and
more numerous and they are rapidly gaining in
membership IN wealth and in attractiveness.
Ihere are more notable and successful organ
