2 AROUND THE WORLD, General Grant’s Journey | Through Asia. LIFE IN CANTON. Temples, Monuments and History. *. MEMORIES OF THE TARTARS.

We stopped and looked at some workmen blowing glass. A glass vase ina rough state about six feet high was in the hands of the artificer, and although the pat of an infant would have ruiued its beauty the workman handied it as surely as though it bad been iron.

We found, however, was nothing so interesting in Canton as Can- ton itself; that all was so new that it was better to wander at will and pick our way back again tothe European quarter. We had taken chairs, but the chairs were a burden, and the coolies dragged them after us until the rain came, and we | were gindto-take refuge in them. I can see how 4 | stroll through Canton would grow in interest if only you were allowed to stroll. But somehow the com- ing of General Grant bas upset the town, and our appearance in the streets was a signal for the people toceme out of their shops and the boys to form in precession and escort us. I haye some idea of the sensation of Crazy Horse or Red Cloud going down the Bowery with a train ot ragamuffins from the Seventh ward. The moment we appeared in a street acrowd swarmed, and if we went into store the doors were at once b!ocked with a dense mob, staring ahd chattering and commenting on us with a free- dom which it was well we could not understand, But you go'around the stores and into the workhops in a free and easy manner and pull things about, and if you are not pleased you have only to say “‘chin- chin” and leave, I saw nothing in our journey but courtesy—only curiosity, as far as we could make it— and yet we lost ourselves in the town and went where we pleased. ‘TEMPLES AND MONUMENTS. One notable sight was the Hall of the Five Hundfed Disciples of Buddha. The street boys, divining our intention, some knocking the gate was opened and we entered under % covered way into a penstyle, attendants and priests personally giving us weltome. We passed through granite cloisters and into the hall where there are 504 statues of clay, gilded, to the memory of certain disciples of the Lord Buddha, famous in the religious history of China, There sre imayes of Buddhas, or rather of threes Buddnas; one of the Emperor Kienlung, a highly beloved monarch, whose image sits on the dragon throne. The other statues are of Buddhist disciples, whose names are given, each statue being as distinct from the others as the Apostie Peter from the Apostle Paul in Catholic religious decoration. Each of the Sigures has a special place in the affections of wor- shippers. . Before some of them we noticed people in adoration or meditation or prayer. Before others we noticed gifts placed in propitiation or entreaty, after the fashion of Buddhist devotion. There was nothing striking in these statues except their indi- viduality. Each was type, a portrait, the repre- grain having six ears, and presented them to | sentation of some human type that had been in the aftist’s eye, I could understand how there could be a whole literature of theology based on images so di¥ersified and peculiar, if one could only enter into the legends of the Chinese faith. Some of the statues were nierty and laughing; others were in tears. Some “showed by their apparel wealth and high station; others were in rags like = miendicant “friars. Some wore shoes, but the majority were shoeless. They were said, a8 Aisciples of Buddha, to have bad various snpernat. aral gifts—the power of subduing beasts, destroy- ing reptiles and, like the apostles in the Scriptures, the power of being able to speak in strange tongues without any previous application. In this they re- sembled St. Francis Xavier, whose footsteps we crossed.in India and Malacca, and who was blessed with this unique and convenient power. The wor- ship of these Five Hundred Disciples is encouraged, says Archdeacon Gray, because it is in their power not only to bestow long life on all who do worship them, but to dispel all vexation and bring to the de- votee peace and joy. CANTON STREETS. ‘The streets in Canton are very narrow and very dirty. The average width is trom three to five feet. On the oevasion of our visit they bad been cleaned up, but they were, even with the clesning, in a cou- ditfon that would gratify a New York Tammany Alderinin in the days of the empire of Tweed. They ate paved with long, narrow slabs of stone, with no | sidewalks, Every house that we passed on our way ‘was a bazaar, and consisted of one open door, that led into a spacious. room. In some of these there were spital stairways that Jed to storerooms or dwelling chambers. Wé found some idea of the wealth of Canton, and of the wants of the country which it supplies, when we remembeted how vast a trade these bazaars represented. In looking over # plan of the city I had been struck with the names of the etfeets, the poetical aud devotional spirit they expressed, here was no glorification of mere human kings, and you couid almost fancy that you were reading of some allegorical city, like what Bunyau saw in wis dream. Thére was Peace street and the strect of Benevolence and Love. Another, by some violent wrench of the imagination, was the street ot Refreshing Breezes, Some contented mind had given a name to the street of Karly Bestowed Blessings. The paterns! senti- ment, 80 sacred to the Chinaman, found expression in the street of One Hundred Grandsons and the wireet of One Thousand Grandsons. There was the street of a Thousand Leatitudes, which, let us pray, ‘were enjoyed by ite founder. There ‘were streets consecrated to Everlasting Love, to a Thousandtold Peace, to Ni old Brightness, to Accumuinted Ble sings, while a practical soul, who kuew the value of advertising, named his avenue the Market of Golden Protits. Chinese mythology yave the names of the Ascending Dragons, the Saltiting Dragon and the Reposing Dragon. Other streets are named after trades aud avocations, and it is noticable that in Canton, as in mo ern towns, the workers in vari oud-callings cluster together. There is Beteluut street, where you can buy the betelnut, of which we saw so much in Siam, and the cocoanut, and drink tea, There is where the Chinese hats are sold and where you can buy the aney of 4 mandarin fora dollar or two. There is by! you choose to buy aconipass there is no harm in romem bering that we owe the invention of that sub- tle instrument to China, Another street is given to the tmanufacture of bows aud arrows, another to Prussion bine, a third to the preparation of turs, ‘The stores bave sigus in Chinese characters, gold let- ters‘on @ red or black ground, which are hung in tront, @ foot or two from the wall, and droop betore you a# you pass under them, producing a peculiar effect; as of ait excess of ornamentation, like Paris The habit to which you are accus- tomed in Paris of giving the store a fanciful or po- One merchant calls his house “Honest Gains.” Another, more ambitious, al on @féte day. etic name prevails in Canton. names his Lose ‘Great Gaius.” proglaims hiv store to be a while his ueighbor’s is “Ten cesstul” There is the sto: One satisfied Never Ending Suc: usand Limes Su Hed “E: by ™ noms” and “By Heaven Made Prosperous.” pair of spectacles.

BOAT LIFE, | This question—this sclemn and expanding ques- tion which wise men must stand up and meet some day—comes upon you in the boat life, You must know thatin China the selling of children—of fe- mule children—is permitted, Ihave heard and read a good deal about the delibérate putting to death of | new-born daughters as a matter of domestic henge | I have not gone largely into evidence on that sul | ject, believing that human nature may be trusted for | something éven in China. Butin Canton the expos- ing of female children on the street, selling them into slavery, or for a purpose worse than slavery, that they may be raised and educated for prostitution, is @ conceded evil, arising | out of this over population. Archdeacon Gray prints | aprcclamation against infanticide, from the tresa- | urer of Heapeh, which reads like a temperance lec- ture, an exhortation to people vot to indulge in a | practice which is dishonoring. Heaven's retribution | und the wraiths of the murdered children will at- tend on the parents, and “thus not only fail to | | hasten the birth of a male child, but run a risk of | making victims of thethselyes by their behavior.” In other words, if parents do not stop killing their | daughters ghosts will come aud avenge the slain. | | The boat life has a pleasant feature to visitors, as it | is pleasant when you come and go to your ship, as I | do every day to the Ashuelot, to see a floating world around you, to see the flower boats, to hear | the sound of music and singing far into the | might. These boats swarm along the river banki | They .are called sampans and are a | boat, varying in size from ten to twenty feet. ‘The centre of the boat is arched over, and this forms kitehen, dining room and sleeping room. | ply up and down the river, doiog what odds and | | ends of work may fallto them, They cluster about our boat like bees around a flower garden, If you | go to the gangway and make # signal a dozen will come hurrying ud. scuffing. and you can go on | shore for ten cents. Once that you sclect boat the | proprietor stteads you while you are in port, waits | tor you at the lunding, at the vessel's side, some of the boats, called flower boats, are fitted up for tertainment, aud Chiuamen in search of recreation ‘o on board and hear the music and take supper aud ‘float up and down the river. The boats ure in all cases—in all that I observed—managed by women and chiidren. The men go on shore and work as laborers and return to their homes at night. Their life is on their boats, and thousands—taking the whole Chinese coast I might easily hundreds of thousands—of families spend their lives on these frail shells and know no world beyond the move- ments of the tides and the dipping ot the oars. AN ANCIENT ITY. Caxton, next to Pekin, the most celebrated of Chi- nese cities, the one at least best known to foreignu- ers, goes back to the fourth century before Christ, | | and is amotg the most ancient cities ot the worid, It was supposed to have been a muddy #1 rounded with bamboo detences. It was culled the city of rams, and Archdescon Gray, whose book on Canton is valuable, tairy legend 4s the origin of this appellation. “Five genii, clothed with ger- meuts of five different colors, met at the capital. Each of the rams bore in his mouth a stalk of the people of the district, to whom the genii thus spake:—‘May famine never visit your mat- kets.’ Having uttered these words, the genii disappeared, and the rams were turned into stone.” So from that day Canton has been known as the city of the five rams or the five gerifi, and the five stone rams may still be seen by those who care to verify the legend. The good wish of the genti has not ai- ways been respected, for Canton has known fainine and pestilence and war, and has had at times an ex- | ceptional run of ill luck. The story of one war. goes ik to the second century before Christ, when the people, being in rebellion, defeated the im- perial forces aud biood ran tor miles. In the sixth century after the coming of our Lord there was a martial emperor whom the peoble sought to pitiate by sending 4 piece of fine cloth. days, as in the present, there were nimble fugers in | Cauton wifo knew how to make cloth as light ond free af down. But the Emperor thought the fine cloth sn évidence of effeminacy and weakness, and he forbade the manufacture of it. In the early there was a great trade between India ahd China, Canton being the gateway through | which moat of the commerce passed. 1 presume” | that it was through Canton that the Buddhist mis- sioneries passed when they came from the holy city ot Bensres to spread the subtle faith of the Lord Buddha. More than 4 thoussnd years ago the mer- chants of Canton had venturewon land and sea. But — | wild and savagt princes came to the throne, aud we read of-ware and devastation aud cruelty, which it ts not useful fo repeat. We are remit too vividly of our modern civilization, But a king came some nine centuries since Whose reign was marked with good owens, “all the stars flowing to the north.” and with this prince came peace and tranquility. Under him and his successors witebes ana wizards were suppressed, expensive ornaments were forbidden, it was not allowed to sacrifice men pgm ar] demons, and wars for the annexation territory, aysiust Cochim China especially, were stopped. In the six- teenth century Portugal put her foot of Chinese territory, It was during that bright and evanescent period of Portuguese glory, when it seemed ae genius of Albuquerque and the faith ot Xavier would establish Portugal as master of Asia. In Uhese.days the Ming dynasty reigned, and the patriotic China- man will tell you, with @ sigh, that the Ming days were the golden days of the Empire. Among the first ports opened to Kuropean trade as result of the pressure of the Portuguese was Canton. THE TARTAR DOMINATION. The Tartars came in the seventeenth century, and about the time that the Stuarts were fighting for their throne tu England the Miugs were fighting for their throne in China. There were wars and rebellions consequent upon this Tartar irruption, from which . Canton suffered and about which it is sad enough to read. pied is it, that in @ world of sea and sunshine and flowing rivers, where nature teems with cen ny all things Seemed for men, that he may enjoy them and appy, you cannot open any ¢hronicle—Indian, ‘Kuypesn, Chinese, Knglsh—without reading of crimes, of war, of crucity and desolation? ‘There is no sudder page than that which tells how, when Cromwell was sweeping through England, the Tartar came to Canton and took the city and put » hun- dred thousand to the sword, “1 the Jesuit tather Marth: time, “was there heard any speech but ‘Kill, kill, Kill these burbarous rebeis.’*’ Lalmost fancied I was reading an account of how the English took Delhi ater the mutiny in 1857, Itia said that the total number ot those killed in the Tartar wars was 700,000—"that every house was lett desola The story of the detence of Canton redounds to the credit of the Chinese character, for although de- feated it showed the existence of # loyal aud patriotic spirit. The Tartars came and remuin, and among the gréut persons who are to welcome Gen- eral Grant is the Tartar General, of the the men Who'took Canton, and in d stroyed 700,000 lives, After the himself into the stirrups in Canton, dispute his sway, matters began t selves, commerce revived and nels, For the Chinaman ts a docile, fragal creature, anxious to work and make money, and since he could uot throw that Tartar from his shoulders he made up his mind to carry him as patiently as possible.

Not much harm seems to have been done, although I read one story of the right them- lowed into old chan- occupation which iliustrates the methods em- poyed by our superior civilization to edu. cate and govern the heathen.

POLITICAL RARTIES, Without taking notice of slight shades in opinion we may divide our politicians into three leading groups—clericals, liberals and radicals, neither of which is able to command an absolute majority of votes if the other two coalesce. There are 21,500 natnes inscribed on the municipal list of qualified electors, of whom the clericals claim to dispose of 6,000, the liberals 12,000 and the radicals 3,000, but the majority claimed by the liberals is neutralized by the indolence or indifference of most of their members, who, principally shopkeepers, will not leave their business to go to the hustings, persuaded that their municipal administrators, whetner black, white or red partisans, would be all about equally @efective in the practical part of their duties. The clericals, on the contrary, are well drilled and compact, and their votes may be relied on, As to the radicals, their energy makes up in some degree for their numerical weakness; but betore the elections came on they felt that in their case it could only be “union que fait la force,” and so they held a prepara- tory meeting at the Argentine Hall to decide in which direction to extend a hand of alliance. The moderate liberals declined the proffered hand, finding it more practically useful to adopt a joint list with the clericals, and there was no hope of « radi- cal alliance with the latter since Garibaldi sent his fulminating telegram to the radical assembly— “Throw the priests over the Tarpeian rock, but | ao not allow them to sit in the Capitol!” | Sixty deputies were then requested to draw up a purely radical list of candidates, but they could not agreo in their choice, and therefore the radical party virtually abandoned all competition, The result startled the liberals as well as radicals, for of the thirteen municipal councillors elected on Sunday | morning nine belonged to the clerical card of the Unione Romana, of whom five were of the purest Pontifical: type—viz., Prince Paul Borghese, Princo Chigi, Duke Salviati, Marquis Ferrajoli and Count Malatesta—while of the three provincial councillors elected two were clericais—viz., Prince Bandini | Giustiniaui and Chevalier Ramelli. Itis certainly advantageous to have an opposition in all adminie- | trations, but if so large ® proportion of | resentatives were to get hold ot seats in Parliament | instead of places in municipal councils the policy of | | Itely, and perhaps the sovereignty ot Rome, 7 incur very important modifications. | STEAM TO TIVOLI. | _ If the first half of Sunday in Rome was thus pro- | ductive of rivalities, with feelings of triumph on | one side end disappointment on the other, the after- | noom brought unmitigated enjoyment to all who had | the privilege of forming purt of the inauguration | steam tramway excursion to Tivoli.

EXCURSIONS MADE EASY. It will be some time yet before this tramway will be open to public traffic, because the Roman Railway Company will not permanently allow the tram cars to run in and out of their central station, as on the inanguration Occusion, #0 that there will have to be separate stations forthe tramway, either nt | the termini station or at the San Lorenzo gate—! | mean the new proposed gate which is not yet be- gun—for the tram cars could not drive through the narrow and low arch of the ancient aqueduct which for so many centurics has figured as the Porte San Lorenzo or Tiburtina, But in one way or another the company promises to transport le to the new bathing establishment at the sulphurous springs (aqua Albulw) by the Ist of duly. It is certain that Tivoli, thus brought within strik- po | distance of Rome, and with the advan ofa half-way establishment of mineral baths, will a tormidable competitor to Albano, Frascati and the other towns get re round the Alban hilis, in the attraction of residents in search of summer vi giatura, Garibaldi continues to occupy the ville Lelieure, between Albano and Ariccia, but he feels rather the clerical tendencies of the Spproseed by Albano folks and their unbounded veneration for their new Cardinal Bishop, whose procession and ec- clesiastical ceremonies they seem to prefer to the republican eccentricities of the veteran General. | AM INTERESTING DISCOVERY. The last event of archmological and artiatical in- | terent in Rome has been the discovery, in that part | of the Farnesina Gardens which is being cat away to restore to old Father Tiber, of another room, deco- rated with exquisite mural paintings, belonging to the aacient Roman residence o2 which two rooms orridor had been already restored to ligh' asin the previously ¢xcavacated rooms, t! fare of two styles—the richly colored pie- | tures chiefly representing familiar and frequently erotic subjects and the simple outline delineations ot divinities and rie resembling those on Grock | end Etruscaa vase the Augustan age, ‘his residence, evidently of ust have been udoned and the soil raised in consequence of repeated fluvial inundations; but it will highly interesting if, in the course of the excavations still being coutinued, some inscription will be found revealing the ownel name.

SHE DESIRES TO SEE AMERICA. Miss Kellogg as Aida at Her Majesty’s. THE “RESOLUTE.” Lowpow, June 21, 1879. Sarah Bernhardt is as much the rage in London as in Paris, London has her on the brain. She has come, been seen and has conquered, with the greatest success, and if, to use the metaphor of one of the Journalists in the train of the Comédie Fangaise, the company as a body have carriad the town by storm, Sarah has certainly captured the citadel. To see her act at the Gaiety Theatre is not enough for fashions ble London. The unfortunate man who has not seen her in the “Parid’une Grande Dame” at a private house is an object of pity. Then, too, there is her gallery of objects of att in Piccadilly— pictures, statues and bas-reliefs—which is crowded datly. The accomplished lady has not only van- quished us, but is looting us, and she will carry beck to France s most substantial evi- dence of the enthusiasm of “Ces bons an- glais,’ Sareh Bernnardt desires to be known rathor as & sculptress than an actress, and prefers 8 good word for ‘‘Aprés le Tempéte,” the | young sailor dead on his mother’s knees, to the loudest “brava!” for Dons Sol or Mrs. Clarkson. Coffins and skulls are inseparably connected with this extraordinary lady, and a touch of her eccen- tricity is to be seen in her little figure of a jester who has thrown aside his bauble to play with a death’s head. The pictures, however, ate not be neath notice, forin all of them there is a strong feel- ing for color and effect, especially iu & little canvas called “Le Dame aux Perréches,” a fair haired -girl in white playing with her parrot pets. Mr. Whistler would call it an arrangement in green, white and yellow. Pictures and marbles, however, were quite secondary matters on the private view day of her gallery, for the celebrated lady herself wae there and absorbed all attention, while she chatted with the consummate ease and grace of « Frenchwoman with Mr. Gladstone, Sir Frederick Leighton and the scores of lesser lights that revolved, satellite-wise, about her slim and mignonne person. As one of the papers saye:— Poors, politicisns ‘And weademicians worship at her shrine, and anything she does is chronicled.

Miss Kellogg's voice did not seem to be in strong condition, but her singing was irre- proachable for tunefulness and melody. Like every one else she was under the baneful influence of the weather, and it was, to say the least, amiable of her to stand in the aud consent to sing when she could notdo jus toher well snd long known ities, At the state concert, at which she was mmanded” to sing, she was congratulated and | thanked by the Prince of Wales, who hoped she would sing again at another, and recalled her former his country in gracious and flattering terms, 'a’’ ia essentially a spectactilar o: ‘and the main feature of the first performance at Majesty's was | the triumph of the scenic artist Signor Magnani, | under whose supervision the opera was mounted at the Scala in Milan, ‘The advantages of his co-operation were apparent in the splendid and accurate scenery which he has | pre} for Mr, Mapleson. Nothing more grand or more complete has ever been seen in London ¢! the temple interior of the second scene; the sky, | and the eflect of light and shade, the massive | hierogiyph-painted columns, were startiingly real, and the hands of the whole audience gave 4 salvo of applause which brought the agtist to the front after | the tall of thecurtain, with Radames and Ramphis ou | either side ot him, the contrast between thecostuine | of 1879, B.

ENGLAND'S ESTIMATE OF OUR EXPORT NESS—A STUDY FOR THE FOURTH. (From the London Globe.) The United States may justly claim to be “going ahead” in their export business, whatever may be thought of their boasted progress in other direc- tions. Unhappily for us thid form of prosperity chances to be the very one most likely to be secured at ourexpense, For while our transatlantic cousins are sending us largely increased quantities of their goods every year, they show less and less inclination to return the favor by taking our commodities, From some valuable statistics published in the Man- chester Courier it appears that while the value of the totsl exports from the States was only £66,122,805 in 1068 16 bed reacted AULLAIE AB du 178 belag tn in crease of £85,602,835, or at the rate of about £8,500,000 annum. In the last | eee however, of this de- cennial ‘iod the Pe beens was close on £19,000,000, a strong tion that the com- petition our manufacturers encounter from this quarter is likely to become more and more embarrassing. On the other hand, the net imports ot merchandise have fallen off steadily since 1873, although the popolation must now be considerably lmger than it was at the former date, and the demand for European ought, therefore, to be so much fea otto -~ ae yordsr to be drawn from these suggestive statistics seems to be that while American ‘masurufacturers ‘tre graduafly monopolizing the whole of their own markets, and thus ousting from them our merchants,they are also attacking With nota little success the ohief centres of demand in Eu: . This latter theory receives support from the that in 1878 the States sent abroad brgannt iron and steel manuf: to the yalue of nearly £1,000,000 sterling in excess of the previous year's exports. Within comparatively short period the markets of Europe knew no Yankee prod- ucts under these heads, except a few miscellaneous “notions,” which had no 3] le influence on current rates. True, the quantity ex} yd wtill remains compared with w: we our- selves send abroad. But every trade must have a beginning, and it must be confessed that Cousin Jonathan has made a very good start in foreign business. In cotton, és) 1, he seems deter- mined to make the most his advantages, for the quantity produced in the States last year was oe 4 nearly double what it amounted to in 1870, althoug sane ‘was supposed to be utterly stagnant in every FOREIGN NOTES. ‘The restaurant and hotel of Versailles have intimated their intention of withdrawing theit sup- port from the Republic.

And yet our élégantes some- times make s point of ig their boots trom Paris, when, if they knew, they would send for them to Madrid—or Montreal.” The Berlin Borsenseiteng, writing on the 17th of this month, the tenth anniversary of the foundation of the German navy, observes that ten years ago the idea of aGerman navy only excited ridicule, while now it has become an bers oar A fact, which is not only recognized but respected by all tho mari- time States, and by means of which the German government is beginning to take w ag strong position in all parts of the work The number of the ships of the German navy is already over seventy; some are ships of 6,000 tons burden, and the total tonnage is nearly one hundred thousand tons. These vessels have a steam power of 120,000 norses and are armed with upward of four hundred guns. The estimate ot the naval expenditure of Germany for the year 1878-9 amounts to 24,000,000 marks for ordinary and 34,000,000 marke for extraordinary expenditure, Most Continental rth, 0 have described Prince Alexander, who by the th of his elder brother has just become Prince ot Orange, as totally unfit to succeed to the throne of Holland. A Dutch corre- spondent of the Xcho du Parliament, who writes from e Hague, and professes to have the best sources of intormation, says that this is acomplete mistake. The Prince has not the rovust health which his brother enjoyed; bat, according to him, he js a you map of considerable intellectual and lms devoted his life to serious study. has made himself expecially familiar with the working of the Dutch constitution, and is known to be deeply interested in measure for oting the national welfare. ae he fogularly attends the ittings of the Council of State, and investigates the condition of every ss branch of the public ser- vice. “The House of Orange,” concludes the writer, “has lately passed through heavy trials; but in Prince Alexander it has s representative who, if he were ealled to the throne to-morrow, would realize free netion can cherish London M P the life of the heir of the Napoleons—an existence uliarly precious; and we can hardly affirm bnety we acquitted ourselves with any appre- Post:—*T@ our care was confided ciation of the trust reposed in us. an English Royal Highness been attached to the staff of Lord Cheimsford, what blame would not have heen iniputed had he been allowed not once, but repeatedly, to proceed upon small and dangerous reconnoissances?

Yet to this purpose were turned the talent and energy of an in- experienced young soldier who was emphaticglly the child of France. His place should have been by the side of the Commander-in-Chief as his side-de-camp, and had he fallen, as Lord Chelmsford might, when so bravely exposing his own life, at such a battle as Gingihlovo, no blame could have attached to those who should have cherished the welfare of their stu- dent volunteer.” A popular and perfectly innocent form of amuse- ment is that kuown as writing “confessions” —a pastie much in vogue at English country houses when all other entertainments have been exhausted.

The Jeannette is & Dbark-rigged steamer of 420 tons register, and long, low and rakish looking, Experts in Arctic navigation who have examined her model say itis admirably suited for encountering heavy'ice. She is what is called » long-legged ship— that is, she hase sharp wedge-shaped floor, and if caught between two heavy ice-floes she will be lifted on to the ice instead of being crushed between them, as too often happens to flat-floored, wall-siaed ves. sels, She was built’by the British government for a despatch boat and tender to the Mediterranean fleet, was sold out of the royal navy and Picctines by Si Allan Young, au enthastantio Brit Yaohtethan ant Arctic explorer, who had accompanied Sir Leopold McClintock in his successful search for relies of the il Franklin expedition.

EXPLORATION. PROPOSAL TO EXPLORE THE BIRTHPLACES OF ARTS AND SCIENCES—WEALTH OF TRKASURES TO BE FOUND. ‘There is a talk in England, says the London Globa of the institution of a fund for the exploration of certain spots {n Western Asia, just as a similar work has been carried on in Palestine. The interest of scholars in this part of the world has of late been immensely increased, and it will be very surprising if s scheme for a systematic and competent research in what is now generally recognized as the birth- place of all our arts and sciences, does not call forth a considerable degree cf enthusiasm, not only among those learned in Uriental matters, but am all who are ible of understanding the kind of knowledge to which such exploration would pretty certainly lead. We already possess relics of the ancient Babylonian Empire which cannot but fill with astonishment any one who will take the trouble to examine them, showing, as they that in an age of the world which we are accustomed to regard as an age of al but universel darkness and ty, there flourished a degree of learning and civilization which seems in many respects to have been but littie behind our own. It is realiy startling to find » lib: catalogue compiled some 4,000 years ago, appen to which is tion to the student to write down and hand to the lib: the number of the book he wishes to consult, just as he would have to do to-day ‘at British Mi or the Guildhall Library, There are now in the col lection at Bloomsbury, Assyrian bas-relicfs teatifyi to an extinct, but advanced, civilization to an of which comparatively few persons have any idea, Fortunately, the ancient libraries of Mesopotamia were largely made up of tablets composed of clay, and the'fact that many of these have survived the wreck of the empires, and the extinction of the learning and civilization to which they testify, and are now in our possession, of course affords abund- ant reason to believe that Western Asia still possesses hidden treasures of @ similar kind, such as would certainly have the most protound interest for every department of learning. So great an addition hag recently been made to our knowl of this old world that it is a matter for wonder that men and money and State influence have not by this time been secured for the prosecution of earnest and ex- tensive exploration, NATIONAL GERMAN FESTIVAL, <esconios ‘The representatives of one of the princtpal German societies of this city, Jersey City and Brooklyn, mot last evening at Turn Hall, Fourth street, to consider the arrangements made by the Executive Committee of the approaching National German Festival.
