The Chinese Government having (through theHon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com-pany the privilege of eonneeting the great sea-ports of the Empire by submarine electrie tele-

graph cable, we propose commencing operationsin China, and laying down a line of nine hundredmiles at once, between the following port t, viz :

Population.Canton 1,000,000Macon 60,000Hong-Kong 250.000Swatow 200,000Amoy 250,000Foo-Chow 1,250.000Wan-Chu 300.009Ningpo 400.000Hang Chean 1.200,000Shanghai 1,000,000

Total 5.910.000These ports bava a foreign commerce of $900,-

000,000. and an enormous domestic -rade, besideswhich we have the immense internal commerce ofthe Empire, radiating from these points, throughits canals and navigable rivers.

The cable being laid, this company proposeserecting land lines, and establishing a speedy andtrustworthy means of communieation v which mastcommand thera, as evarywhere else, the commu-nications of the Go/ernmont, of business, and ofsocial life especially in China. She has no postalsystem, and her ecly means now ofcommnuicatinginformation is by couriers on land, and by steam-

"The Western World knows that China is a verylarge country, in the main densely peopled; butfew yet realise that ihe contains more than a thirdof the human raee. The latest returns msde to

her centra! authorities for taxing purposes by thelocal magistrate make ber population Four hun-dred and Fourteen millions , and this is morelikely to be under than over the actual aggregate.Nearly ail of these, who are over ten years old,not only can but do read and write. Her civili-zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten-sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach-

ers and traders; and the latter are exceedinglyquick to avail themselves of every proffered facili-ty for procuring early information. It is observedin California that the Chinese make great use ofthe telegraph, though it there transmits messagesin English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet

steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, andused by tbem exclusively for the transmission ofearly intelligence. Ifthe telegraph we proposeconnecting all their great seaports, were now in

existence, it is believed that its business wouldpay the coat within the first two years of its suc-

cessful operation, and would steadily inorease

thereafter.No enterprise commends itself as in a greater

degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our

whole people. It is of vast national importancecommercially, politically and evangelically.

qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi-ness men. as a desirable investment by editorjalarticles in the New York Herald, Tribune,World, Times, Post. Express, Independent, andin the Philadelphia iWA American, Press,Ledger, Inquirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.

The greatest known remedies forLiver Complaint,

DYSPEPSIA,Nervous Debility,

JAUNDICE,Diseases of the Kidneys,

ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN,and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,stomach, or

IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.

Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, FullnesofBlood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach,Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Full

ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc-tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the

Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of theHead, Hurried or Difficult Breathing,

ciency ot Perspiration. Yellowness of the Skinand Eyes, Pain in the Side. Back. Chest,

Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,Burning in the Flesh. Constant Imagi-

nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.

All these indicate diseases ofthe Liver or Di-gestive Organs, combined with impure blood.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS

is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. Itis a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,Herbs, and Barks from which these extracts aremade, are gathered in Germany. All the medi-cinal virtueus are ex s-v tracted from them bya scientific Chemist. { I These extracts are

then forwarded to this V/ country to be used ex-pressly far the manutacture of these Bitters.There is no alcoholic substance of any kind usedin compounding the Bitters, hence it is the onlyBitters that can be used in cases where alcoholicstimulants are not advisable.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC

is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit-ters, with pure Santa Crux Rum. Orange, etc. Itis used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in casewhere some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.You will bear in mind that these remedies are en-tirely different from any others advertised for thecure of the diseases named, these being scientificpreparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth-ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form. TheTONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant andagreeable remedies ever offered to the public Itstaste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, whileits life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali-ties have caused it to be known as the greatest ofall tonics.

DEBILITY

There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger-man Bitters or Tonicin cases of Debility.They impart a tone 1-4 and vigor to the wholesystem, strengthen -A the appetite, cause anenjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di-

fest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound,ealthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge

from the eye. impart a bloom to the cheeks, andchange the patient from a short-breathed, emaci-ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced,stout, and vigorous person.

Weak and Delicate Children aremade strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. Infact, they are Family Medicines. They can beadministered with perfect safety to a child threemonths old, the most delicate female, or a man ofninety.

These remedies are the best

Blood Purifiers

ever known and willcure all diseases resulting

from bad bload. Keep your blood pure; keepyour Liver in order, *- keep your digestiveorgans in a sound, I healthy condition bythe use of these reme -1.-i dies, and no diseaseswill ever assail you. The best men in the country

recommend them. Ifyears of honest reputationgo for anything, you must try these preparations.

FROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD,

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva-nia.

Philadblphia, March 16, 1867.I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters" is not

an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use-

ful in disorders of the digestive organs, and of

great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner-vous action in the system.

Yours Truly,GEO. W. WOODWARD

FROM REV. JOSEPH H. KENNARD, D. D.,

Dr. Jacksos?Dear Sir I have been fre-quently requested to connect my name with rec-ommendations of different kinds of medicines, but

regarding the piactice as out of my appropriatesphere, Ihave in all cases Reclined; but with a

clear proof in various instances, and particularlyin my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoof-lands German Bitters, I depart for once frommy usual course, to express my full convictionthat for general debility of the system, and es-

pecially for Liver Com --r plaint, it is a safe

and valuable prepara tion. In some cases

it may fail; bnt usual A-N ly, I doubt not, it

will be very beneficial to those who suffer from theabove causes. Yours, very respectfully,

CHAPTER ON CATS.

On cats Idon't go very heavy. Notso much on account of their staying out

late nites, dispensing mournful lirrics,as the habit they have of going intew

fits, and playing Mazeppa on the ceil-ing.

It's a very pecoolar trait of the cat,them fits. They don't seem to mindthem much, and alluz recover. I give

my old Malty cat fits a while ago, but

she didn't recover. Not herself.I recovered her.I will let you into the facts of the

case. I hung her by the neck one dayand one half on an improved gallus,and then covered her over with dirt.

But I hed only hung eight lives out

of her, and 1 found her next morningat the kitchen door, waiting for her ra-tions. Istrateway took her remaininglife. She is now one of the things thatwert. The feel in quire have lost apowerful tenor, and her voice is silentperpetual.

When cats are first born they are sec-less. A great many go in swimminthe first thing they do after being born,in an old bag as a bathing-habit, witha big rock tied to it?rocked in the cra-

dle of the deep as it wer.

Cats are mentioned by poets, as willbe observed by the following eotation:

Hi diddle diddle,The cst's in the fidfile, & so 4th.

5 Catsliveon mackril heads, cold pioces,

young birds, &so 4th. If hard up fora lunch they catch a naous. They are

fond of laying under a warm stove*

Give a cat fourteen fish heads for din-ner, and then let her stretch herself un-

der a hot stove, and you have a pictureof unalloyed bliss.

They are not ova very loving dispo-sition, and when In trouble are not ve-

ry kind to each other. In proof of thishang two of them bi their tails over a

klose line.Iguess I don't know anything more

about cats at present. That iz to say,

my essa iz over.

N. B.?Cats don't cost anything.

An excellent Fertilizer*?The Journalof Chemistry says that one of the veryhost fertilizers used upon the farm forall the cereal grains and root crops,may be made in the following manner :

Take one barrel of pure, finely groundbone, and mix it with a barrel of woodashes; during the mixing add aboutthree pails full of water. The heapmay be made upon the floor ofan out-building, or upon the barn floor; andby the use of a hoe the bone and ashesmust be thoroughly blended together.The water added is just sufficient toliberate the caustic alkalies, potash andsoda ; and those act upon the gelatineof the bone, dissolving the little atomsforming a kind of soap, and fitting itfor plant aliment. In this way themost valuable constituents of the lionecan be made immediately available,and the addition of potash and sodaaids in the formation of a fertilizer ofinestimable value. A gill of this mix-

ture placed in a bill of corn, will workwonders. It is also excellent for gar-den vegetables and for all kind of roots.It will be ready for use in a week afterit is made.

Stray Grains for Chickens.? Feedyour poultry on raw onions choppedfine, mixed with other food about twicea week. It is better than a dozen curesfor chicken cholera. Fowls exposed to

dampness are apt to be troubled withcatarrh, which will run to croup, if notattended to. lied pepper mixed withsoft feed, fed several times a week willremove the cold. Pulverized charcoal,given occasionally, is a preventive of

putrid affections, to which fowls arovery subject. Setting bens can be curedby putting water in a vessel to thedepth of one inch, putting the hen intoit, and covering the top of the vesselfor about twenty-four hours. The ves-sel should be deep enough to allow thefowl to stand up. This is the bestremedy I have ever tried. Pulverizedchalk administered with soft feed will

cure diarri'cea. This disorder is causedby want of vaT?ety in the food, or bytoo much green foou. Garlic fed onceor twicea week, is excellent iCTcolds. ?

Experiment in Feeding Cows. ?ln theof the Chin TTnnmor ru>.

curs the following: "Ihave had twen-ty-five cows to milk, and found timo-thy and wild grass the boot. To feedin winter, use shorts, ground oats,shorts and corn meal; oats ground dobetter than either; but corn meal withshorts makes richer milk, but no moreof it. 1 have fed potatoes largely ; they,i. toiorabij well,but milk a day ortwo old gets strong. .liuta-baga turn -

ips and earots would not do for me tomake butter from themllk; butofall theroots I ever tried, sugar beet is thebest. 1 heard pumpkins were good tomake milk and tried them. I hadtwelve milkers; I divided them;fed six with pumpkins threeweeks, and all run on grass alike.Those that had pumpkins gave not

a gill more milk than the others, butI believe it was a little richer."

A Thousand Dollar Receipt. ?Takeone pound of sal-soda and a half apound of unslacked slime, put them ina gallon of water, and boil twenty min-utes ; let it stand till cool, then drainoff and put iu a stone jug or jar. Soakyour dirty clothes over night or tillthey are well wet through, thon wringthem out and put on plenty of soap ,

and to a boiler of clothes well coveredwith water add one tablespoonful of

washing fluid. Boil half an hour brisk-ly, then wash them thoroughly throughone suds and rinse well in water, and

your clothes will look better than theold way of washing twice before boil-ing. This is an invaluable remedy,and we want every poor, tired womanto try it.

Soil for the Grape.? lt is a curiousfact that very rich and highly manuredland has rarely produced a grape that

would yield a high quality of wine.

The grape that contains the most sac-

charine matter will make the bestwine, and the ilitferent varieties differwidely in the proportion of sugar. In

Italy and in Sicily the very finest andsweetest grapes grow on loose, rocky

soils, or along hill sides covered with

rocks are often the best. These facts

ought to teach us uot to select the rich-

est soils, and not to stuff them with

organic manures, for the grape.

Horses are often injured by their ex-

ertions to draw heavy wagons out ofof tniry spots in the road. Spavins are

frequently caused in this way. Aftersuch exersion, the horses' legs oughtto be hand rubbed for an hour a day,for several days. This is a gentle fric-tion of the hand up and down the iegs.

Coarse horses seldom require it, buthigh-bred ones are benefitted by theoperation.

To relieve from the terrible effects ofrunning a nail in the foot of a man or

horse, take peach leaves and applythem to the wound, confined with a

bandage, and the cure is as if by mag-

ic. A renewel of the application gen-

erally does the work. This remedyhas cured both man and horse in a few

hours, when they were apparently on

the point of having lockjaw.

A clergyman in Vermont, being ap-

prehensive that the accumulatedweight of the enow upon the roof of

; his barn might do some damage, rc-I solved to shovel it off. He thereforeascended the roof, having first takenthe precaution to fasten his waist to

| one end of a rope, the other end of| which he gave to his wife. But fear-| ing still for his safety, he said: "My

dear, tie the end round your waist."No sooner had she done this, than offwent the snow, minister and all, andup went the wife. Thus, on one sideof the barn the astounded clergyman

| hung, while on the other side hung

his wife, high and dry, dangling at; the end of the rope. At that moment

a gentleman luckily passed by, anddelivered them from their perilous sit*

i uatiou.

THOSE people who have alwaysviewed with anxiety and alarm theaccession of military men to high ei.viloffices may welt be startled as theywitness the proceedings of the militaryregime which now has its headquar-ters in the White House. An am-bitious General is our President. TheSecretary of War is a General, and the

Secietary of the Nwy, in point of fact,is Admiral Porter. The President'sSecretaries append to their signaturesthe titles ofBrigadier General or Col-onel. Almost the first act of the newAdministration was to make certainchanges in the "military districts,"and our Washington advices show,day after day, how completely militaryaffairs absorb its attention.

Regiments are being consolidatedand regulations about discipline anduniforms iu the navy are being issuedthus early, as though these thingswere of the first importance,. ThePresident has for years past had ubody-guard, and the citizens of theCapital are as familiar as are those ofSt. Petersburg with thejingleof spursand the clank of sabres. Does all this

signify nothing? Does the differencebetween Washington as it is andWasington as it was ten years ago in-dicate only a change of fashion andh.\bit, or does It mark the decline of

constitutional government and thedecadence ofrepublican institutions?

When the Long Parliament set aside

the ancient Constitution of England,

who supposed that Cromwell wouldsoon bo her absolute lord and master?

When the National' Assembly over-turned the throne of Evince, who im-agined that creatures like Marat and

Robespierre would soon rule ever berand shed the blood of her best sncinoblest like water? Greece had her

despots in her time, and Rome whenmistress of the world was the slave of

tyrants. Why should we expect im-munity from the fate of all the free

nations that have preceded us in thepast three thousand years? Whyshould there not be ten "military dis-tricts" lieie as w-01l as five? Publicvirtues and sleepless vigilance are allthat can save this nation from losingall that is left of the Government be-

queathed us by our ancestors, and that

virtue and vigilance as yet are lyingdormant. ? Bait. Gazette.

AX OTTRAGEOCS IXSII.T TO OI K COL-ORED SOLDIERS,

From the Boston Courier.

We are informed by the daily pressthat "the Indians of the plains willnot take scalps from the h<wl= ofnoir-o

soldiers kiiieu in battle."Is not this a flagrant violation of the

spirit of the civil i ights bill, of the newamendments to the Constitution, andof the reconstruction policy of Con-gress?

This is the crowning insult to our col-

ored citizens.Shall the red skins be allowed thus

to make distinctions on account ofrace or color ?

When the colored troops fight brave- >

ly, may those untaxed Indians scorn |their scalps, as being no trophy worth |the taking off?

This contemptuous treatment of the !

black man by the red man is not to be

borne.Senator Sumner must attend to this.He must prepare resolutions,

lie must fulminate speeches a-gainst the noble red man of the forest,who, when on the war path, dares to

show a savage disrespect to wool!He has abolished the word "white"

in the District of Columbia, let himabolish the word "black" on the plains.

Let him cause it to be enacted thatwhen the untaxed red-skin says?-

"Ugh, big Indian no scalp nigger!"

somebody shall shoot him on the spot.It is not because of the difficulty ol

taking off the colored man's scalp.No such thiug.Indians scalp very short haired

white soldiers.It is their contempt for the negro as

an inferior race.They must be taught better.Here is missionary work to do.And a new stipulation should be

made in all Indian treaties, that no

distinction of race or color shall bemade with the scalping 1 nife.

The insult is too cutting.

A celebrated author once wrote: "A

French woman will love her husbandif he is either witty or chivalrous, a

German woman if he is constant andfaithful, a Dutch woman if he does not

disturb her ease and comfort too much;a Spanish woman ifhe wreaks terriblevengeance on those who fall underher displeasure ; an Italian woman if

he is dreamy and poetical, a Danishwoman ifhe thinks her native country

the fairest and happiest on earth, a

Russian woman if he holds all west-erners to be miserable barbarians; an

English woman if he is of the nobility,

an American woman if?he has plenty

of money.

IN order to amuse the children on a

Sabbath, a lady was engaged in read-ing from the Bible the story of Davidand Golilah, and coming to that pas-sage in which Golilah boastingly anddefiantly dared the young stripling, a

little chap, almost in his first trousers,said : "Sister skip that, skip that; he'sblowing! Iwant to know who licked !"

AN exchange paper has the follow-ing : "It is said that there are more

editors unmarrried than any other class

of professional men." For the reason,

we suppose that the majority of themare men of fine sentiment, and do not

wish to starve anybody's sister.
