This work presents a brief history of that brilliant period during which Mexico bas held the alter tion of the writ, through the unexpected and intrepid way with which she commenced a life of modern civilization in the year 1876. and shows how the country has entered upon a nourishing period in which the school and the book are the workshop where the intelligence and ambition of future men are formed, and where the perial of lewons

THE NEW. YESSFL FOR CHINA TRADE,
According to a local contemporary, the new vessel which is being built in England to the order of the Douglas Steamship Company is expected to arrive in Hongkong in August. That statement, however, on the authority of the general agents, is without foundation. No news has been received in Hongkong as to the probbie date of the new vessel's arrival here, and as there was no provision as to when the vessel should be delivered it is impossible to say when the vessel will be seen in Chinese waters. As a matter of fact, according to the Douglas Steamship Company, the vessel has not yet been launched, so that any statements as to the date of her completion and departure from England are purely speculative.
