ONE Holgate of Philadelphia has invented an explosive six times as powerful as nitro-glycer ine is scuties It with England. Hsome ad- venturesome Irishman can be found who will drop a pound or two of the terrible stuff down the shaft of a coal mine, the whole island will be blown up, Windsor Castle and the Parlia ment House included. We expect to hear the British press shrieking for Holgate's apprehen- 'sion by the Government of the United States.
"So you are going to marry that smail, wheezy, consumptive-looking specimen of a man, are you ?" said one girl to another. "I really don't see what you can see in him to love" "Mary," said her friend, Mary, your father is a small man, isn't he?" "Yes," was the reply. "What of that?" "Nothing, except that if he wasn't small it is doubtful if your mother would be the boss. I'm going to marry that small man be- cause Fin fond of having my own way and won't accept any risks,"

FRENCH AND CHINA
a
The decrepit Empire of China la involved in sea of troubles. Pressed closely by Russia on the west and threatened by Japan on the e, she of a collision on her southern frontier. China has is now exposed to even more imminent danger for centuries claimed a nominal reignty or protectorate over the province of Tongin, which w century ago, was annexed to the Empire of was once conquered by her arms, but which about Anam. The Emperor of Anam is the nominal monarch of 15,000,000 subjects, but since 1863 his power has existed at the suferance of the French, who in that year took permanent posses sion of the six southernmost provinces, generally known as French Cochin China, and twelve years later, or in 1874, assumed à protectorate over the whole of the Anamese dominions.
The position of the province of Tonquin, over which all the trouble between France and China has occurred, was a peculiar one, even before the former Power extended a protectorate over the feeble Emperor of Again. Acknowledged to be a part of the Empire of Anam, it was yet claimed to be "under the suzerainty of China. But this confession became further complicated when the French SCIENTIFIC men in France are not at all slow in protectorate was established, for the question then arose whether this included Tonquin as well appropriating to themselves originality in the various fields of discovery. The statue to
as the other provinces of Anam, and thereby annulled the protectorate previously claimed by Phlippe Lebon will credit him as the "Inventor China; or whether Tonquin was allogether ex- of gas-lighting.” And already statues have been cepted from the French protectorate. The quies. put up to Frederic Sauvaga "the inventor of the tion might not have become an exciting one if the Anamese Government had preserved order in screw propellor," to Marquis Claude de Jouffroy Tonquin, but it failed to do so, and last year "the inventor of steam navigation," while M.

BEAUTY, says an English paper, by which is meant not merely ideally prefect features, but asuppressed. fine, strong, comely type of physical organization, such as carries with it spiritual and moral graces most attractive to menis, as we have said, ↑ heritage of English women. It is, therefore, transmissible, but in one way only. By the process known to the Darwinian as "sexual selection," the "fittest" survive, and in England the degree of popular prejudice or taste is that, among women, the "fittest" are the comclicst. It is true we do not drown all the girl child- ren when we find there'
no chance of their growing into fair women, but we practically make it certain that they dle out, for we object to marry them. An ill-favored woman in England is, with rare exception, a "social failure," and though George Eliot, in "Adam Bede," tries to "show that her hopes of matrimony are not, therefore, blighted, her whole argumentis vitiated
by what very often vitiates reasoning-comps sion for unmerited and irreparablé misfortune, However, the great point is that English society does not, as it were, conspire to perpetuate a race of ugly women, simply because society has never yet been able to divest Englishmen of their prejudice in favor of manying comely ones.
But the French, having occupied the capital and ignoring the claims and protests of the of the province, were not disposed to stop there,
Chinese, they have pushed on to occupy the whole country, Almost every day "now, the. telegraph records fresh advances and suc cesses, and in a few months, Tonquin will have been occupied up to the southern boun dary line of China. The Court of Peking has been blustering and threatening to fight, and at length matters have gone so far that the French Minister to China has been recalled. Before going he made a proposition to the Chi- nose Government to the effect that Tonquin should be divided between. France and China, the former to control the southern portion and the latter the northern.
But this arrange- mem has fallen through, and France now meant to take the whole province. In al probability she will not be satisfied with a mere protectorate, but will relieve both China and Anam of future anxiety about Tonquiá by boldly annexing it as she did the six southern provinces in 1852. What China will

do about it depends entirely upon herself and re- mains to be seen. If her threats could be be lieved, she would march an army into Ton- quin and declare war against France. the best judges of Chinese character and PD: litics do not believe that any such thing will happen, but that, on the contrary, after bluster- ing a while, Chins will recede and pocket THE Adelaide people had better, if they wish to
