The following story Is told to explain her kindness o foreign physicians: Some years ago she was taken very sick with a complication of diseases, and after being treated several months by ' the leading physicians of the capital, was given up by them to die. In these straits she and the viceroy called In a male and female physician belonging to the American board of foreign mis sions, who were so skillful and also so fortunate as to preserve her life, and in the course of a year to restore her former health and strength.. This In cident Increased the affection of both herself and Li Hung Chans' for for eign missions, foreign physicians, and foreigners In general. LI Hung Chang commemorated his gratitude by fitting up a general dispensary in Tien Tain, which he presented to the mission, while Lady Li, not to be outdone in her appreciation of the skill that she had enjoyed, established a Bccoud, etiJO dally for women ,and placed it entirely in charge of the American lady physi cian Who had attended her. Both be fore and after her sickness she has granted audiences to scores of Euro, pean and American ladles, a privilege that is not accorded by more than one In a thousand Chinese ladles be longing to the nobility. Prof. Holnnloh Geffcken, writing In the "Nineteenth Century," says thut Germany has a war treasure of 130,000, 000 in coined gold lying in the Julius Towed of Spanduu, a much larger sum than Caesar deposited and Mark An tony extricated from the temple of Ops; and thut the other great powers, Eng land, France, R iteia, and perhaps Aus tria, have each a like fund, more or less ready for Instant use in the emer gency of war. If we credit these pow ers with the same reserve as that pos sessed by Prussia, It withdraws from the commerce and currency of the world, $150,000,000 in gold, which Is af ter all only about 40 cents per capita for all the population of Europe, and Is not so ruinous as at a first glance it might appear to be. Taken altogeth cr, It la only an Inconsiderable fraction of the cost of our Civil War, or the In demntty paid by France to Prussia af ter the campaign of Sedan and the downfall of the empire. It is a good deal of money, to be sure, to be kept in Idleness, drawing no Interest, and niak ing no figure in bank ballances, but is sure to get Into circulation again some time, and warm up the arterial flow of the world's commerce, a It ought to do, Instead of lying idle in the arypts of fortresses. The young Czar has, as a matter of fours, to soy at the funeral of his father that he will walk In his foot steps; but he will do well to get away from their line at an1 angle not so acute as to be imperceptible. He will give millions good hope by accepting some of the conditions of civilization. If he is a young man of good sense and capacity to know something of current liUtory, he can read in the Asiatic news of the day of the weakness of despot lm and a sovereign excluded from association and sympathy with the people.

In a recent issue of the San Francisco' r, ,i xt.. rwt h. . . , - very Interesting letter relating to coastwise navigation. It was re-printed i it ctr.i-. i... f tha a .trv. 1 m ,, j . 'In the City of Astoria, as laid out and rian. The following Is an answer to recorded by John McClure and ex the lc?tter from the pen of Captain D.: tended by Cyrus Olney, by removing Buchanan, and Is copied from the same nnhiinniinn- I k-ui'iuuuuil. I "Permit me through the aid of your, valuable paper to supplement with a ir.e pome witn new and sound nr plnus. few facts Cautain Merry's letter In vonr!?our Inches In thickness, and by build- . - , , , - ' issue oi iNovemoer ma on me naviga- tion of coastwise steamships. I quite igree with Captain Merry that the patent log Is a valuable aid to naviga tion, where the shipmaster carefully registers the percentage It goes (slow or fast), by well authenticated observa tions. The use of the log Is alBO lnval- uable when approaching, the land In x dark night or in thick weather, but;8""18 nre designated as follows, to-wit: one or two casts of the lead are com- paratlvely useless. It requires a series: of soundings, taken at stated Intervals, I here the speed of the ship Is known, I i..u tun. lmmi B.iuuiu uo recorueo on a aardboard, whereby a continuous lino of soundings is formed. This placed on the chart at or near the ship's sup- posed position will either verify the shin's oooltlon on tli nnr BtoaroH nr it win ah, o..i..0ii k position at the first and lunt soundings, md the distance run in the Interval. Oaptnln Merry says that a "steamship running on a parallel course with an idjacent coast line will ultimately run on shore." This Is evidently a. stretch of the Imagination, as gravity is a force that draws toward the center and not towards the shore; if due allowance in the course steered is not made for an Inshore current or a heavy swell sweep. ng towards the land, it is evident the ihlp will ultimately be stranded. Now, as to the local magnetlo disturbance of the compass on board ships when near the land the reports which have been current for many years pasts of the disturbance of the compass on board ships when near land, have gen erally been regarded, until of quite re- ent 'years, as very doubtful, If not void of foundation. It has rightly been objected that allowing the neighboring land to to entirely composed of mag netlo ore, the distance at which the supposed disturbance of the compass took place was quite enough to render Its attraction or repulsion without ef fect. There are some parts of the world where the bottom of the oceanJoV is sufficiently magnetic and close nouR'h to effect the compasses. The narlner hn.i, therefore," reason for tn creastJ vigilance when nearlng the land of certain countries during thick venthfr. Iitttead of attributing the !oe of vessels when approaching a -oast to the nmgnetio effects of fog and !nnd snd other Improbable Influences upon the compass, it would be much more reasonable to ascribe It to the changed conditions of her magnetism by Induction during the paspage, and which has not been discovered or kept account of by frequent Azimuths pre vious to closing in with the land. A course la shaped which the captain thinks perfectly safe; to his astonish ment It lands his vessel on some rock or shoal and the fault Is laid on the compasses, whereas they have only obeyed the magnetic Torces which have changed the compasses during the long voyage. The longer a ship steers on a given course or lies in the same general direction, the greater will be the magnetlo charge of Induced mag netism, and the more slowly will it move and shift with the changing courses of the vessel. The other mag-1 netla qualities of a ship are compara tively stable, but th Induces magnet- Ism Is treacherous and changeable, and i requires constant vigilance to prevent i disaster.
