THE CITY OF CANTON, Historical Sketch of a Famous City of China. Its Ttmplra. llonara. Thoroughfare and Popnlatloa It C'ommer rial Importaner, Indus trie and. Growth. 4 Boston Herald In view of the fact thut the Chinese Im perial government in reported to be actively preparing to close the port of Canton, some thing in regard to this city and its commerce may perhaps be of interest to the world at lurire. The time was. howevor, when the cloving of this port would have been equiva lent to stopping all foreign trade with China, but since then there have been opened a num ber of other ports, so that a very large amount of the export trade of Canton is done by other cities. Its closure, theref ore.will have no ma terial effect upon the foreign trade of Canton. Indued, such is evidently not the intent of rtheChinese government in the steps said to , have been taken, the same being, no doubt, in the Hue of a strategio policy, in view of portending difficulties with France, which aims to secure the integrity of the important but assailable points of the empire against foreign invasion aud conquest. The city of Canton is the capital of the province of Kwangtung, one of the western provinces of China. It is situated on the south bank ol the Pearl river, in north latitude 23 degrees 7 minutes 10 seconds, and east longitude 113 degrees 14 minutes 80 seconds, nearly parallel with Havana, liuskat, and Calcutta; but its climate is colder than any of these. It lies at the foot of the White Cloud hills, along the banks of the river, about seventy miles north of Macys in direct line, and ninety miles northwest of Hong Kong. canton's antiquity. The earliest notices of the city date back two centuries before Christ, but traders were doubtless located there prior to that time. It grew in importance as the country became better settled, and in A. 1). TOO a regular market was opened, and a collector of cus toms appointed. When the Manchoos over ran the country in 1050, this city resisted their utmost efforts to reduce it for the space of eleven months, and was finally carried by treachery. Martini states that 100,000 men were killed at its sack, and the whole number that lost thoir lives at the final assault and during the siege was 700,000, according to the native accounts. Since then it has been rebuilt and haB increased in prosperity until it is regarded as the second city in the empire for numbers, and is probably at present the first in wealth. The foundations of the city walls are of sandstone, their upper part being brick. They are about twenty feet thick, and from twenty-five to forty feet high, hav ing an esplanade on the inside, and pathways leading to the rampart, on three sides. The houses are built near the wall on both aides of it, so that, except on the north, it can hardly be seen when walking through the oity. There are twelve outer gates, four in the partition wall, and two water gates, through which boats pass into the moat east and west A- ditch once encompassed the walls, but it is now dry on the northern side. On the other three, aud within the city, it and most of the canals are filled by the tide, which, as it runs out, does much to cleanse the city from its sewage. The gates are all shut at night, and a guard is stationed near them to preserve order. A VIEW OF THE CITY. The appearance of the city, when viewed from the hills to the north, is not at all invit ing, being an expanse of reddish roofs, often concealed by frames for drying or dyeing clothes, or shaded and relieved by a few large trees, and interspersed with high, red poles used for flagstaffs. Two pagodas shoot up within the walls far above the watch tow erg on them, and, with the five-storied tower near the northern gate, form the most con spicuous objects in the prospect. To tbo spectator, at this elevation, the river is a prominent feature in the landscape, as it shines out, covered with a great diversity of - boats of different colors and sizes, some stationary, others moving, and all re sounding with the mingled hum of la borers, sailors, musicians, hucksters, chil dren, and boatwomen, pursuing their sev eral sports and occupations. On a low sand stone ledge, in the channel off the city, once stood the Sea Pearl fort, called Dutch Folly by foreigners. Beyond, on its southern shore, lies the suburb aud island of Honain, and green fields and low hills are seen still farther in the distance. At the western angle of this island the Pearl river divides, at the Macao passage, the greatest body of. water flowing south, and leaving a comparatively narrow channel before the city. The hills on the north rise 1,200 feet, thoir sides for miles be ing covered with graves and tombs, the necropolis of this vast city. The streets are generally narrow, being from six to ten feet wide, and are about six hundred in number, and have names in the Chinese language signifying, such as Dragon, New Green 1'ea, Physic, Spectacle, and Old Clothes streets. 8TIU.ETS AND BUILDINGS. Unlike other Chinese and eastern cities, the streets of Canton are paved with flat granite blocks, and the sewerage is concealed. The houses are generally built of dark brown orick, one or two stories high; are without rerandas, and are entirely open in front, closed only by suspended bamboo screens. The windows are small and rarely furnished with glass paper, mica, and other transpar ent substances being substituted. The roofs are of unequal height, from a Chinese super stition that ill luck follows eaves which con nect with each other. The houses contain from three to six apartments. The dwellings of the poorer classes are seldom more than mud hoy els, containing but a single apartment. ' Stone is seldom used except about the gate ways. The shops are commodious and well stocked with goods, and, in the busy part, every house is a shop. Eating-houses are numerous, and furnish a great variety of made dishes, in which rice, pork, puppies, cats, rats, and geese are the staple ingre dients. The houses along the water side are built upon piles, and these portions of the city are subject to inundations. About four miles from the city is anchored the boat town, or the 40,000 covered river boats, which are the constant homo of about 300,000 people, callod Tankin, a strange, amphibious, outcast race, who subsist by fishing, carrying goods and passengers, and various other occupations. They are are also, on occasions, pirates. THE TEMPLES. The temples and public building f thecity are numerous. Among the religious houses there existed np to a late date the monastery of Cbong-showsz, or temples of longevity, founded in 1573, and occupying spacious grounds. In tho first pavilion were three Buddha. In the second a seven-story, gilt pagoda were seventy-nine images of Buddha. In the third pavilion was an image of Buddha reclining, and in a merry mood. This temple was destroyed in November, 1881, by a mob, which was incensed at the alleged misbe havior of some of the priests toward the fe male devotees. Near this stands the temple of the Five Ilundrei Genii, containing 500 staiues or various alms in honor of Buddha and his disciples. Canton is the most Influen tial city in southern China, and its reputation iur i icnes ana luxury is established through out the central and northern province, owing to iU formerly engrossing the entire foreign trade, up to 1843, for a period of about one nunurej years. FOREIGN RESIDENTS. The former residence of foreigners in the western suburbs are known as Sllih-Mn Hang, ur i inrioen uongs (a uong or hang signify ing a row or series, and was applied to ware nouses, because these consist of a succo.ion or rooms), and for nearly two centuries furu islied to the Chiuese almost the onlv eihlhl tlon of the yang-jin, or ocean-men, as the foreigners were styled. In 1850 there were thirteen hongs, or series of dwellings anJ factories, and in the fall of thut year they were all simultaneously burned by the local authorities to drive out the British forces. Since the return of trade a new and better site has been formed at Shameeu, west of the old spot, by building a solid stone wall and iming in a long, marshy low-tide bank, form erly occupied by boats, to a height of eight vi wju iot-1, on wnicn mere is room lor gar dens as well as for houses. This is surrounded by water, and is thereby secure from fire and mobs, to which the old hongs were exposed. Residences are obtainable anywhere in the city by foreigners. LEADING INDUSTRIES. 1 he trades and manufactories at Canton are mainly connected with foreigu com merce. Many silk fabrics are woven at Fatsham, a large town situated about ten miles west of the city. Fire-crackers, paper. matrsails. cotton cloths, and other articles are made there for export. The mattiugs of China early found their way abroad, and be came known as Canton matttnjs, though, since the opening of the other porta of China, tney, as well as most of the tea and ot articles exported, are derived to a considera ble extent through the other ports. The num her of persons engaged in weaving silk aud other kinds of cloth in Canton is about fifty thousand, including embroidoreri, and there is still a large export of silk fabrics from that city. The weav ing of silks and other stuffs and the manufacture of porcelain, are leading industries. Large numbers are engaged in the manufacture of faucy tables, screens, umbrellas, children s toys, Jewolry in the precious metals, ivory, duties' beaks, and other materials, ivory fans. etc. The printing and box trade is also consider able. But there are no large manufacturing establishments, the craftsmen working eitner singly at Dome or in small companies. tacn trade or calling is united into guilds for mutual protection aud support. Canton is still the chiof entrepot. of the commerce of China with Japan, Siam, Cochin China, and the islands of the Malay archipelago. The great junk fleet at Cauton. composed of ves sels ranging from five hundred to one thou sand tons burden, contributes more to the wealth of the city than the European fleets wnich anchor at YVnauipoa. SIZE. Canton is a walled city, the part inclosed by walls being about sis. miles in circumfer ence, and a partition wall runs east and west, dividing the city into two uneqal parts. The entire circuit, including the suburbs, is nearly ten miles. The population on land and water is variously estimated, but ap pears to be, probably, about one million. The city is constantly growing, the western suburbs presenting many new streets entirely built up during the past ten years. Progi-en in physical Training;. "Macon" in Cincinnati Enquirer 1 A party of gentlemen were talking about sporting matters tho other day when one of tuem observed: "It is wonderful what prog ress has been made in training. Twenty years ago there was a certain system for tram lug a horse, and another for training a man, and all horses and men were trained pretty much alike, with but little regard to their in dividual dispositions or the character of the cmlest for which tlii'y were preparing. Now it is dilroroiit. llocojfmzing that which is one man's meat is another man's poison, the dis position of both man and beast is now care fully studied by the trainer, as well as the nature of the ordeal they are to undergo. In deed, with men like oarsmen and pugilists this is now a vital consideration In a long race the oarsman is trained for both wind and endurance, while force, dash, strength, is the main consideration. "If two men are matched to flght, the train ers study the peculiarities of their man's op ponent, so as to best prepare him to oppose them. Ihls was exemplified in tho fight be tween John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan. Ryan's battle with Joe Goss showed that he was a slow man with lots ot hang on. In order that Sullivan might be strong enough to mako a swift, hurricane fight, ho was merely divested of his superfluous fat, and no attempt was made to reduce him in flesh, for you can't lose flesh without losing strength. Had he been ten pounds lightor his wind would have been much better, but it proved good enough as it was and he de feated Paddy in a jiffy. Ryan wanted to make a long flght of it, and was fine-drawn, and, consequently, not as strong as he ought to have been. Here the superiority of judg ment was as apparent in the traiuers aa were the abilities ot the men." During the conversation it was stated that Billy Edwards and other renowned retired fistic heroes made a good thing of it in the ipring of the year training business men of the eastern cities. These gentlemen do not train as severely as do professionals, but work and diet themselves enough to get into prime good health, and then they are ready for a zood time in the summer. "If two-thirds of the business men of the country were to train for three weeks a year," said one of the gen tlemen, "it would lengthen their lives a dec ide, but it would diminish their doctor's bills awfully." I think an equally good re mit could be obtained by an hour a day prac tice at our gymnasium. ten. Thomas and the Marines. Chicago Herald "Train Talk." Out of a dozen stories told me by a loqua rious old veteran, I select one worth read ing: "We were on board the flagship Un dine, Admiral Lee, Mound City, 111., when old Pap Thomas, aa we called Gen. George H. Thomas, sent word he was coming on board to talk with the admiral. The admi ral got out the gang plank, brought the ma rines and midship boys out according to naval style, and, with his officers gathered about him, waited on deck to re ceive his visitor. The general soon came, but, at the foot of the gang plank, stopped and called out: 'Admiral, if you will send those things away, I will come on board.' No, Lord bless you, Pap Thomas meant no disrespect to us marines, but how he did hate style and ceremony!" The Cold Facta. Exchange. A beautiful young girl was about to be married to a bachelor 70 years ot age, but very rich. On the eve of her marriage she learned that his wealth had been suddenly wept away, leaving him a penniless old man. Did the noble girl desert him in this hi hour of trouble! She did indeed, and 'jer parent helped her, too.

BTIAllt. half An lump in anatjifif. almil-A. tion of one of Currier's contributions which was standing upside down." There is anotlier hit in "La Ciirale" which is too good to be passed by. A canvas Is shown which has no meaning whatever. It sinipiy one diabolical and incoherent unear. The visitors asks what it is. The painter is 1 1 a quandary. He absolutely does not understand it himself. Suddenly an idea illuminates him. "The name must be on the back," he says. The visitor turns it and reads: "A landscai." "Ah!" says the painter, with a sish of re lief. "That's it It is a landscane." And he proceeds to expatiate on its beau ties. A Hint to Iteporterx. Chicago Herald. Mr. Vanderbilt was stauding in the offleo ot the Grand Pacific one evening when he saw a newspaper man whom be had met a num ber of times before. The Wall street Co lossus took the newspaper man by the arm, walked mm into the private office, and said: "I know I swear, and perhaps say things I shouldn't, but no man no matter who he is, whether he is rich or not likes to see tha-te weaknesses of his nature in print You have never made use of them in your interviews; you are now in another and more lucrative buslLess.

The Astors figure among the heaviest tax payers in the city. In im they paid 350, 000, and this year they handed in a check for 400,000. Even this large amount does not represent their entire taxable wealth, inas much as they lease a great deal of proerty with the stipulation that the lessees shall pay the ground rent aud other taxes. It is au thoritatively reported that these reach at least $100,000, so that a fair representation of the amount of taxes which the Astors' real estate contributes to the revenues would make it at least 1300,000 per annum. A Lover Among; the "Mods." Chicago Tribune. The recent attack on Mile. Van Zandt in Paris by a crazy admirer reminds The St. James' Gazette that Mile. Dejazet received every evening for a long time a penny bou quet of violets from an unknown lover. At last came also a billet-doux begging for a recognition at the theatre, of which the most important part was the postscript telling how the writer could be identified: "Look up to the fourth gallery and you will recognize me; 1 am the man with his legs hanging over the railing." nsil-UONES LY THE THMOAT To remove fish-bones from i.ha flimo Prof. Vololini, at Breslan, recommends a gargle composed of munatin .!! i parts; nitrio acid, 1 part, and water. 240 parts.
