WONDERLAND.
George Edgar Montgomery.
My Heart to-day is liko a summer flower
"WTiich lifts its blooming chalice to absorb
Sweet odors from the air. For, like a
flower,
My beart absorbs the flery life that dwells .
Within the blossoming matter of the world,
And naked strength of nature. Here, where
earth
Seems peaceful as a dreamer's paradise,
I trace the movement of the universe.
The splendor that inspires the thought of
man.
And glory that outshines the fancy. Here
I learn the clear and simple speech of truth,
And feel the buoyant spirit of forest birds
That fill a whole bright summer with their
song.
I look upon the old world as a child
Looks with a vague and tender trust upon
Its mother's face; and, strangely moved, I
see
Beyond the beauty of familiar things,
As one may see into another's heart
With the tine sense of love.
No harsh voice falls
Along the solemn quietude of the air.
Yet I can hear faint voices, which are llk
Echo of unseen music; there is speech
In the melodious breeze, and there is song
Within the soft hush of the languorou
noon
Song that would roar like tlmuder if the ear
Could catch its undertone. The fire and stir
Of a da?dalian impulse throb beneath
The outward sluuilier of a life which is
Sleepless and everlasting. There is not
A leaf, a rose, a tree, nor animate thing
Which does not add a language to the world;
And I, that am a part of earth and nay,
Feel that diviuity and kinship bom
Of truth and noble knowledge. Ob, I love
To watch the pageant of the world unroll,
To search within its sorcery, and to drink
Its wild enchantment, even as men were
wont.
In the dead days of fable, to give form
To sprite, and gnome, and god.
PBEFARING SEALSKINS.
THE COLORING A IX DO.VE IX ENOLAXD
MONOTONOUS WORK FOR GIRLS.
New York Sun.
In a small, gloomy room at the top
of s dingy building in a down town
street eight girls sat yesterday working
stolidly." The light "seemed dusty and
hot as it shone dimly through the soot
incmsted window punes, and the rum
ble of machinery below jarred the floor
incessantly. The girls sat in little
groups. They were shabbily clad,
though there were touches of bright
color here and there, and their faces
all looked pinched and care-worn.
Their backs were lont iu a weary way
as they leaned over the work. Each
girl held a sealskin stretched across
her lap, and picked at it with great
rapidity." Their hands were quite
black. They seldom spoke, and when
a stranger entered they looked at him
listlessly for a moment, aud then
dropped their eyes on their work
again.
. "They are picking the long black
hairs out of the skin," said the fore
man, rubbing his hard over one of
the glossy pieces of f n r. fc We get all
of our sealskins from London, where
they are taken direct from the Arctic
regions. Sealskins cannot be colored
outside of England. They not only
have a peculiar process there, but the
climatic influences result in better col
oring than can be done here. So the
skins go to England first. After they
have leen colored they are shipped all
over the world and made into sacques,
dolmans, muffs, gloves, and hats, when
they arrive at .their destination."
" Why are the long black hairs you
speak of not taken out in London ?"
"W ell, I don't know that there is any
particular reason except the econom
ical one. The London concerns charge
quite heavily for the work, and the re-"
suit is we prefer to do it here where it
doesn't cost as much. It does not re
quire highly skilled labor. The black
hairs you see are not so very much
longer than the rest of the fur. There
is a difference of perhaps a sixteenth of
an inch. By blowing against the grain
of the fur the black hairs can all be
made to stand out."
"How many hours do the girls work
a day?"
"They come at 7 o'clock and leave at
6. They are paid fair wages. Of
course they do not make their fortunes,
but still the paj' is fair."
"Monotonous work?"
"Oh, it's overpoweringly so," said the
chatty foreman, shrugging his shoulders
impatiently. "The incessant picking
almost drives me mad at times: but
then I suppose it's worse for the girls."
WHERE THE DES T S OUIETY RE IONS.
Cor. Philadelphia Press.
After all, in a city of a million and a
half of people, .what is society? This
great centre abounds in comfortable
and happ3T homes, where respectable
men with money enough for ail the
comforts and many of the luxuries of
life live happily, charmingly, inconspicu
ously. There are thousands of houses
here to support which from $10,000 to
$20,000 a year are none to much, in
which reside merchants, brokers, editors,
lawyers. There are also very many
magnificent residences better called
palaces, in which live honest and intelli
- gent peoile, who live reputable and
domestic lives, sending from $50,000
to $150,000 a year, and there are others
equally magnificent, in which live
schemers, blackguards, liai s and thieves,
who, having fattened upon the mis
fortunes of their fellows, flaunt their
wealth offensively in the faces of their
poorer but better fellow citizens. Out
side of these are hundreds of thousands
of people wLo live quietly, who are
never seen in public places, who are
modest in their ambitions, temperate in
their living, church-goers, domestic,
quiet, home people.
CREEDS AND THEIR ADHERENTS.
New York Sun.
The Catholic mission at Lyons has
published some statistics concerning
the religious creeds of the world and
the number of their adherents. Mono
theism is said to have fewer followers
' than Pagandom, which counts 816,000,
000 worshipers. Catholics are esti
mated to number 212,000,000. Non
Catholics are 'distributed into Protes
tants, numbering 121,003,000, and vari
ous dissidents and schismatics, figured
up at 84,000,000. Jews foot up 7,000,
000; Mohammedans, 200,000,000; Brah
mins, 163,000,000; Buddhists, 423,000,
000; and idol worshipers, 230,000,000.
, It is interesting in this stat:stical esti
mate to note that Roman Catholics are
to-day said to outnumber the adherents
of all other forms of the christian creed
by only four millions.
A Hint to Reporter.
Chicago Herald.
Mr. Yanderbilt was standing in the office
of the Grand Pacific one evening when he saw
a newspaper man whom he had met a num
ber of times before. The Wall street Co
lossus took the newspaper man by the arm,
walked him 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 these
weaknesses of his nature in print. You have
never made use of them in your Interviews;
you are now in another and more lucrative
business. There can be no misunderstanding
between you and me. Here is $100." This
might not occur again in 100 years. But it j
it afoot.
THE CITY OF CANTON.
Historical Ska ton of a Famous Oity of
China.
It Tenplea, nonites. Thoroughfares
Jtit Pojalatloa--Its Commer
cial Importance, Induw
trleo and Growth.
Boston Herald.
In view of the fact that the Chinese im
perial government is reported to be actively
preparing to close the port of Canton, some
thing in regard to this citv and its commerce
may perhaps be of interest to the world at
large. The time was, however, when the
closing 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, therefore, will have no ma
terial effect upon the foreign trade of Canton.
Indeed, such is evidently not the intent of
the Chinese government in the steps said to
have been taken, the same being, no doubt,
in the ilue of a strategic 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 and 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 of
the Pearl river, in north latitude 23 degrees
7 minutes 10 seconds, and east longitude 113
degrees 14 minutes 30 seconds, nearly parallel
with Havana, Muskat, and Calcutta; but its
climate is colder than any of these. It lies
at the foot of the White Cloud hills, along
tho banks of the river, about seventy miles
north of Macys in direct lino, and ninety
miles northwest of Hong Kong.
canton's axtiquitt.
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. D. 700 a regular
market was opened, and a collector of cus
terns appointed. When the Manchoos over
ran the country in 1650, 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 their lives at the final assault and
during the siege was 700,000, according to
tho native accounts. Since then it has been
rebuilt and has 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. 1 be
houses are built near the wall on both sides
of it, so that, except on the north, it can
hardly be seen when walking through the
citv. There are twelve outer gates, four in
the partition wall, and two water gates,
through which boots pass into the moat east
and west. A ditoh once encompassed the
walls, but it is now dry on the northern side.
On the other three, and 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 roof, cften
concealed by frames for drying or dyeing
clothes, or shaded and relieved by a f ew
large trees, and interspersed with high, rea
poles used for flagstaffs. Two pagodas shoot
Up within the walls far above the watch tow
era on them, and, with the five-storied tower
near the northern gate, form the most con
spicuous objects in tho prospect. To the
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 and island of Honam, and
green fields and low bills are seen still farther
in the distance. At the western angle of this
iiland the Pearl river divides, at the Macao
passage, the greatest body ot water flowing
south, and leaving a comparatively narrow
channel before the city. The hills on the
north rise 1,200 feet, their 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 Pea,
Physic, Spectacle, and Old Clothes streets.
STItx 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
brick, one or two stories high; are without
rerandas, and are entirely open in front,
closed only by snspended 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 hov
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 homes of about
S00,000 people, called Tankin, a strange,
amphibious, outcast race, who subsist by
fishing, carrying goods and passengers,
and various other occcupations. They
are are also, on occasions, pirates.
THE TEMPLES.
The temples and public buildings of the city
are numerous. Among the religious houses
there existed up to a late date the monastery
of Chong-showsz, or temples of longevity,
founded in 1573, and -occupying spacious
grounds. In tho first pavilion were three
Buddha s. In the second a seven-story, gilt
pagoda were seventy-nine images of Budd'ja.
In the third pavilion was an image of Buddha
reclining, and in a merry mood. This tempi
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 Hundred Genii, containing 500
statues of various sizes in honor of Buddha
and his disciples. Canton is the most influen
tial city in southern China, and its reputation
ftr riches and luxury is established through
out tho central and northern provinces, owing
to its formerly engrossing the entire foreign
trade, up to 143, for a period of about one
hundred years.
FOREIGN RESIDENTS.
The former residences of foreigners in the
western suburbs are known as Shih-san Hang,
or Thirteen Hongs (a hong or hang signify
ing a row or series, and was applied to ware
housen, because these consist of a succession
of rooms), and for nearly two centuries furn
ished to the Chinese almost the only exhibi
tion of the yang-jin, or ocean-men, as tho
loretgnei-s were sty leu. in lbou tnsre were
thirteen hongs, or series of dwellings and
factories, and in the fall of that year they
were all simultaneously burned by the local
authorities to drive out , tho British forces.
Since the return of trade a new and better
site has been formed at Shamoen, west of the
old spot, by building a-solid stone wall and
filling in a long, marshy low-tide bank, form
erly occupied by boats, to a height of eight
or ten feet, on which there is room for gar
dens as well as for houses. This is surrounded
by water, and is thereby secure from fires
and mobs, to which the old hongs
vera exposed. Residences are obtainable
anywhere in the city by foreigners.
LEADING INDUSTRIES.
The trades and manufactories at Canton
are mainly connected with foreign com
merce. Many silk fabrics are woven at
Fatbham, a large town situated about ten
rriles west of the city. Fire-crackers, paper,
mat-sails, cotton cloths, and other articles are
made there for export. The mattings of
China early found their way abroad, and be
came known as Canton mattings, though,
since the opening of the other ports of China,
they, as well as ni9st of tho tea and other
articles exported, are derived to a considera
ble extent through the other ports. The num
ber of persons engaged in weaving silk and
other kinds of clotli in Canton is about fifty
thousand, including embroidorers, and there
is still a large export of silk
fabrics from that city. The weav
ing of silks and other ' stuffs

are engaged in the manufacturo of fancy
tables, screens, umbrellas, children's toys,
jewelry in the precious metals, ivory, cranes'
beaks, and other material, ivory fans, etc
The printing and box trade is also consider
able. But there are no largo manufacturing
establishment?, the craftsmen working
either singly at home or in small companies.
Each trade or calling is united into guilds for
mutual protection and support. Canton is
still the chief entrepot of the commerce of
China with Japan, Siain, Cochin China, and
tho islands of the Malay archipelago. The
great junk fleet at Canton, composed of ves
sels ranging from five hundred to ono thou
sand tons burden, contributes more to the
wealth of the city than the European fleets

Progress In Physical Training.
"Macon'' in Cincinnati Enquirer J
A party of gentlemen were talking about
sporting matters tho other day when one of
them observed: "It is wonderful what prog
ress has been made in training. Twenty
years ago there was a certain system for train
ing a horse, and another for training a man,
and all horses aud men were trained pretty
much alike, with but little regard to their in
dividual dispositions or the character of the
contest for which they were preparing. ' Now
it is different. Recognizing 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 carsman is trained f r both wind and
endurance, while force, dash, strength is the
main consideration.
"If two men aro matched to fight, the train
ers study the peculiarities ef their man's op
ponent, so as to best prepare him to oppose
them. This was exemplified in tho fight be
tween John L. Sullivan raid Paddy Ryan.
Ryan's battle with Joe tioss showed that he
was a slow man with lots of hang on. In
order that Sullivan uight be stiong enough
to mako a swift, hurricane fight, he 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 lighter
his wind would have been muoV better, but
it proved giod enough as it was and ho de
feated Paddy m a jiffy. Ryan wanted to
mako a long fight 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 trainers as were
the abilities of tho men."
During the conversation it was stated that
Billy Edwards and other renowned retired
fistic heroes made a good thing of it in the
spring 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 priuu
good health, and then they are ready for a
ood time in the summer. "If two-thirds of
the business men of the country were to train
for tureo weeks a year," sat. I one of the gen
tlemen, "it would lengthen their lives a dec
ide, but it would diminish their doctor's
bills awfully." I .iink an equally good re
mit could be obtained by an hour a day prac
uce at our gymnasium.
en. Thomas and the Marines.
Chicago Herald "Train Talk."!
Out of a dozen stories told me by a loqua
sious old veteran, I select one worth read
ing: "We were on board tho flagship Un
dine, Admiral Lee, Mound City, 111., when
old Pap Thomas, as we called Gen. George
LL Thomas, sent word he was coming on
board to talk with tho admiral. The admi
ral got out the gang plank, brought the ma
rines and midship boys out according to
naval style, and, with his officoin gathered
about him, waited on deck to re
ceive his visitor. The general soon came,
but, at tho foot of the gang plank, stopped
and called out: - 'Admiral, if you will send
those tilings away, I will come on board.'
Xo, Lord bless you, Pap Thomas meant no
disrespect to us marines, but how he did hate

A DBTJGOISrS STORY.
Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, Druggist. Newburg. N.
Y., writes us: "I have for the past ten years sold
several gross of DR. WILLIAM HALL'S BAL
SAM FOR TIIE LUXGS. I can say of it what
I cannot say of any other medicine. I have
never heard a customer speak of it but to praise
its virtues in tho highest manner. I have rec
ommended it in a great many cases of "Whoop
ing Cough with the happiest effects. I have
used it in my own family for many years; In
fact, always have a bottle in the medicine closet
ready for uso."
Dr. J. G. McGuire, Anamosa, Ia., says:
"I know Brown's Iron Bitters is a good
tonic and gives eeneral satisfaction."
Caloric Vita Oil, the renowned healer, at
wholesale. Ilodpce, Davis &Co., Portland.
Why does not the proprietor of Ammen's
Cough Syrup publish testimonials from
those who have been cured or relieved by
his medicine? The answer is, the greater
the humbug the more testimonials they
Eublish. Ammen's Cough Syrup is no
umbug, and to prove that and let it stand
on its own merits, a 15-cent sample bottle
is prepared, which is certainly more con
vincing than a testimonial from a stranger.
Largo bottles, $1.00. Ask your drugirist
for it. "wTr?

As to Parity and Wbolesomeness of the Royal.Bakinjj Powder.
"I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased In the
open market, and find it composed of pore and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream
of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or
phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. G. Lotb, Ph.D."
"It it a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure."
II. A. Mott, Ph.D."
" I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in
the market. I find It entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub
stance. Henbt Mobtox, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology."
" I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which
it is composed are pure and wholesome. 8. Dana Hates, State Assaycr, Mass."
The Royal Baking Powder received the highost award over all competitors at
the Vienna World's Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1870 ; at the
American Institute, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and uni
versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of
Health all over the world.
Note. The above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various BakiDg
Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments mado by Prof. Schedler.
A one pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume In
each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by
Prof. Schedler only proves what evory observant consumer of the Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience that, whilo it costs a few cents per pound
more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan
tage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder win convince any
fair minded person of these facts.
While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to bo of a higher degree
of strength than other powders ranked below them, It is not to be taken as Indica
ting that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength,
are to be avoided as dangerous. .

what are known as riatfnt medicines,
as it does not frequently happen that we
can have positive knowledce of their
merits; but having individually uted
"Ammen's C'ouph feyrup," and heard bo
much in its praise, we think the manu
facturer is doing good in placing so val
uable a medicine on the market and we
are doing good in assisting to make it
known. It also affords us pleasure to
commend Mr. Ammen to the craft ev
erywhere. (Times, (Jacksonville, Ore
