The Chinese Government having (through the
lion Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com-pany the privilege of connecting the great sea-
ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele-graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundredmiles at once, between the following port s, viz;
Population.Canton 1,000,000Maeoa. \u25a0 00.000Hong-Kong 250,000Swatow 200,000Ainoy 250.000Foo-Chow 1,250,000Wan-Chu..... 300.000Ningpo 400,000Hang 1,200.000Shanghai ? ..1,000.000
Total 5 910.900
These ports have a foreign commerce oi $900,-
01)0.000, and an enormous domestic trade, besideswhich we have the immense internal commerce ofthe Empire, radiating from these points, throughits canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being "laid, this company proposeserecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else the commu-
nications of the Government, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no jxzstalsystem, and her only means nowofeommuuicatinginformation is by couriers on land, and by steam-
ers on water.The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled ; butfew yet realize that she contains more than a thirdof the human race. The latest returns made toher central authorities for taxing purposes by thelocal magistrate make her population Four hun-dred and Fourteen millions, antl this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old,not only can but do read and write. Her civili-zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten-
sive as that ofEurepe. China is a land of teach-ers and traders; and the latter are exceedinglyquick to avail themselves of every proffered facili-
ty for procuring early information. It is observed
in California that the Chinese make groat use ofthe telegraph, though it there transmits messagesin English alone. To-day great numbers of fleetsteamers are owned by Chinese merchants, andused by them exclusively for the transmission ofearly intelligence. Ifthe telegraph we proposeconnecting ail their great seaports, were now in
existence, it is believed that its business wouldpay the cost within the first two years of its suc-
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafterNo enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importancecommercially, politically and evangelically.

qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi-ness men, as a desirable investment by editorialarticles in the New York Herald, Tribune,World, Times, Post, Express, Independent, andin the Philadelphia North American, Press,Lrifz'r. Inquirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.

The greatest Inown remedies forLiver Complaint,

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. Itis a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,Herbs, and Barks from which these extracts aremade, are gathered in Germany. All the medi-cinal virtneus are ex tracted from them bya scientific Chemist, fl I These extracts are
then forwarded to this Y/ country to be used ex-pressly for the manufacture of these Bitters.There is no alcoholic substance of any kind usedin compounding the Bitters, hence it is the onlyBitters that can be used in cases where alcoholicstimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S UERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit-ters. with PCIIE Santa Cruz Rum. Orange, etc. Itis used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in casewhere some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.You -zrill bear in mind that those remedies are en-tirely different from any others advertised for thecure of the diseases named, these being scientificpreparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth-ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form. TheTONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant andagreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Itstaste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it. whileits life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali-ties have caused itto he known as the greatest ofall tonics.
DEBILITY
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger-
man Bitters or Tonic -w in cases of Debility.They impart a tone |q and vigor to the wholesystem, strengthen A the appetite, canse anenjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di-
gest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound,healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tingefrom the eye, impart a bloom to the eheeks, andchange the patient from a short-breathed, emaci-ated. weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced,stout, and vigorous person.
Weak and Delicate Children aremade strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. Infact, they are Family Medicines. They can beadministered with perfect safety to a child threemonths old, the most delicate female, or a man ofninety.
These remedies art the best

I find that ''Hoofland's German Bitters" is notan intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use-
tul in disorders of the digestive organs, and ofgreat benefit in cases of debility and want of ner-yous action in the system.
Yours Truly,GEO W. WOODWARD.

BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1869.
THE GRAND WIND-CP IN RONTON.
Boston is about to give out thehymn; let the rest of mankind handletheir psalm-books. Boston is about to
raise the tune; let "frogpond" clap itshands, and Bunker hill be joyful alto-gether. Boston is aliout to lead inprayer; let the gentiles draw near,pull off their hats, and listen to themost eloquent petition that was everaddressed to a human audience. Bos-ton has proclaimed a great NationalPeace Jubilee, "to be held in the cityof Boston, June 15th, 16th and 17th ofthe present Anno Domini , to com-memorate the restoration of peacethroughout the land. Boston is ar-ranging a grand orchestra of one thous-and musicians, the first to f-lng nation-
al airs and hymns of peaiv, and the
last to swell the aforesaid national airsand hymns to cosmieal dimensions.Boston iserectingan immense coliseum,capable of accommodating over fiftythousand persons, for the occasion, to
be magnificently decorated with em-blems expressive of Boston notions,sentiments, ideas and emotions. Bos-ton invites the rest of mankind to at-tend and participate in its enjoyments,at the ruinously low figures of one
hundred dollars the season ticket, ad-mitting three persons, or thirty threedollars, thirty-three ceuts and a vulgarfraction for each individual. Bostonis about to do the thing in style ; butlike the thrifty consort of the renown-ed Gilpin, while she is bent on pleas-ure, she retains her frugal disposition,and intends to realize a profit on heranthems and thanksgivings.
Boston rejoiced greatly over the war.She led the timbrels, and headed thedance which circled around the caldronwhen the poisonous mixture whichmade men bloodthirsty was preparing.Of all the noxious ingredients that en-tered into thecompoundi hers was themost deadly. Although she did not
manifest superior alacrity in sendingher sons to the conflict, she sang the
war song, danced the war dance, andscreamed the war whoop witli a vigorand persistency that left nothing to hedesired. Her clergy breathed forththreatenlngs and slaughter frqm thepulpit. Her learned pundits peram-bulated the land, blowing the wartrumpet from the platforms of lecturehalls; making merchandize of theirbelligerent sentinels, at the price offifty cents for the admission. Her
senators and representatives took thelead in every measure which servedto make war inevitable, and to fosterand intensify the evil passions andcruel hatreds which war is calculatedto awaken.
Boston has attained her ends, andBoston is satisfied. Site did nothingto promote the return of peace; she isdoing what lies in her power to makethe people only formal. The countryis only formally at peace, not actually.Itis the peace of exhaustion, not ofconsent, the badges of which are theprivations of right, political constraintami military despotism. But it is apeace that is after the heart of Boston,and therefore Boston proposes to cele-
brate it with songs and thanksgiv-ings; with the "greatest feast of su-blime and inspiring harmony that hasever been heard in any part of theworld." As Boston was inspiredwith an ardent love of the beauties ofwar, so uow Boston is inspired withan ardent love of the beauties of peace.She discovers that all mankind arebrethren. She wonders how theycould have done otherwise than love
each other. She is willingto embrace
the survivors of those whom she sentforth her bauds to destroy, to admitto share in her rejoicings?providedthey pay the regular fees for admission?those whom she labored to impover-ish ; and to show the whole world howlittle malice she had against thosewhose destruction she sought to ac-complish. Magnanimous Boston, whotakes the lead in celebrating the closeof the temple of Janus when it was nolonger in their power to keep it open,and who, finding war times no longermarketable, sets her organ to a peacemelody, grinds qway with the air of
a composer, and passes around the hatwith the confidence of a benefactor.
There is no objection to the musiciansof Boston assembling together andmaking qjl the harmonious uproar of
which they and all the machinerythey are able to press into the serviceare capable. There is no objection toputting as high a price as they please
upon their performances, and making
out of them all the profit of which thething is susceptible. But a celebra-tion such as is contemplated, upon thepredicate adopted?a grand nationalfestival on the restoration of peacethroughout the Iqnd?and that, of allplaces in the world, in Boston, is, be-yond measure, impudent and insolent.?St. T/juis Republican.
FEMALE SOCIETY.? What makesthose men who associate habituallywith women superior to others? Whatmakes that woman who is accustomedto and at ease in the society of men,
superior to her sex in general? Sole-ly because they are in the habit of freegraceful, continued conversations with
the other sex. Women in this waylose their frivolity, their faculties a,
waken; their del ieacies and peculiari-ties unfold all their beauty and capti-vation in thespirit of intellectual rival-
ry. .\nd the men lose their pedantic,rude, declamatory or sullen manner.The coin of the understanding and the
heart is changed continually. The as-
perities are rubbed off, their betterjma-teriaD poliKhod and brightened, andtheir richness, like fine gold, is
wrough tintofiner workmansh ip by the
lingers of woman than eyeroould by
those of men. The iron and stool of
their character are hidden, iiko the
harness and armour of the giant, bystuds and knots of gold and preciousstones, when they are not wanted inactual warfare.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.? Onehundred and ten years ago, there wasnot a single white man in Ohio, Ken-tucky, Indiana or Illinois. Then what
is now the most flourishing part of A-
merica was as little known as the coun-
try arouud the mountains of the moon.It was not until 1767 that Boone lefthis home in North Carolina to becomethe first settler of Kentucky. The firstpioneers of Ohio did not settle untiltweuty years after this time. A hun-dred years ago Canada belonged toFrance, and the whole population didnot exceed a million and a half of peo-ple. A hundred years ago, the greatFrederick of Prussia was performingthose great exploits which have madehim immortal in military annals, andwith his little monarchy was sustain-ing a single handed contest with Rus-
sia, Austria aud France, the threegreat powers of Europe combined. A
hundred years ago, Napoleon was not
bom, and Washington was a modest
Virginia colonel, and the great events
in the history of the two worlds, inwhich these great but dissimilar mentook leading parts, were then scarcelyforeshadowed. A hundred years ago,the United States wero the most loyalpart of the British empire, and on thepolitical horizon no speck indicated thestruggle which within a score of yearsthereafter established the great repub-lic of the world. A hundred years a-go, there were but four newspapers inAmerica. Steam engines had not beenimagined, and railroads and telegraphshad not entered into the remotest con-ception of man. When we come to
look back at it through the vista of
history, we find that to the centurypassed lias been allotted more import-ant events, in their bearing upon the
hapiness of the world, than almost anyother which has elapsed since the cre-
ation .
THE gontleman at church is knownby the following marks :
1. Comes in good season, so asneitti-er to interrupt the pastor nor congre-gation by a late arrival.
2. Does not stop upon the steps or iuthe portico, either to gape at lhe la-dies, salute friends or display his col-
loquial powers.3. Opens and shuts the door gently
and walks deliberately aud lightly upthe aisle or gallery stairs, and gets hisBeat as quietly, and making as fewpeople remove as posible.
4. Takes his place either in the hackpart of the seat, or steps out into the
aisle when any one wishes to pass in,and never thinks of such a thing as
making people crowd past him whilekeeping his place in his seat.
5. Is always attentive to strangers,
and gives up his seat to such ; seekinganother for himself.
6. Never thinks of fillinga house of
God with tobacco spittle, or annoying
those who sit near him by chewing that
nauseous weed in Church.7. Never, unless in case of illness,
gets up or goes out during time of ser-
vice.?But ifnecessity compel him to doso, goes so quietly that his very man-
ner is an apology for the act.8. Does not engage in conversation
before the service.9. Does not whisper, nor laugh, or
eat fruit in the house of God, or loungein that holy place.
11. Does not rush out of the churchlike a tramping horse the moment thebenediction is pronounced, but retiresslowly in a noiseless, quiet manner.
Ig. Does all he can by precept and
example, to promote decorum iu oth-
ers ; and is ever remly to lend bis aidto discountenance all intjecornm in thehouse of God,
AN AWFUL SNOT v.?"There was
once an awful little girl who had an
awful way ofsaying 'awful' to every-
thing. She lived in an awful house,in an awful street, in an awful village,
which was in an awful place. Shewent to an awful school, where she hadan awful teacher, who gave her awfullessons out oi awful books. Everyday she was so awful hungry that she
ate an awful amount of food, so thatshe looked awful healthy. Her hatwas so awful small and her feet so aw-
ful large. She went to an awful church,and her minister was an awful preach-
er. When she took an awful walk she
climbed awful hills, and when she gotawful tired she sat down under an aw-
ful tree to rest herself. In summer she
found the weather awful hot, and in
winter awful cold. When it didu'train, there was an awful drought, and
when the awful drought was over,there was an awful rain. So that thisawful girl was all the timeiq an awfulstate, and if she don't get over sayinglawful 1 about everything I am afraid
she will, by and by, come to an awfulend."
I OWE my success in life toonesingle
fact: That at the age of twenty-seven Icommenced and continued four years
the process of daily reading and speak-ing upon some historical and scientificbook. These off hand efforts where
made sometimes in a corn field, some-
times in a forest, and not unfrequent-
ly in some distant barn, with the horse
and ox for my auditors. It is to thisearly practice, in the art ofa'l arts, thatI am indebted for the primary and lend-ing impulses that stimulated me for-ward, shaped and modelled my desti-ny. Improve, then, young gentleman,
the superior advantages you here en-
joy. Let not a day pass without exer-
cising your powers of speech. Ctesarcontrolled men by captivating their af-
fections and swaying their passions.The Influence of the one perished with
the other. That of the other contin-ues to this day .?Henry Clap,
Narrow-minded men who have not athought beyond the sphere of their own
outlook, remind one of the Hindoomaxim: "the snail sees nothing but its
own shell, and thinks it the grandest
palace in the universe."
Livrxo IN PEACE.? Mr. Simeon ofCambridge, having met with injurioustreatment made the following memo-
randum : Perliajis 1 ought to takesome notice of it; but my rule is. nev-er to hear, or see, or know, what, ifheard, or seen, or know, would callfor animadversion from me. Henceit is that I dwell in peace in the midstoflions. To all the accusations thatwere brought against Mm, our lairdmade no reply ; "Insomuch that thegovernor marvelled greatly." I de-light in that record; and, God help-ing me, it is the labor of my life so toact, that on my account also the gov-ernor or spectator may marvel greatly.My experience all this day has been,and I hope it wili'yet continue to bea confirmation of that word, "Thouwilt hide me in the secret of thy pre-sence from the strife of tongues." In-sult an angel before the throne, andwhat would he care about it? Just
such will be my feelings, whilst I amhid in the secret of my Redeemer'spresence.
THE LAST SPIKE. ?So much anxie-ty lias been manifested as to whether
the "golden spike" was permitted to
remain where it was driven in the lastPacific railroad tie, subject to any law-less depredator who might be aliout,that we print the following to giverelief:
"That silver bound tie and goldenspike! Oh, the prase of it, the plain-prose! The poetry of the operation,the lie and the spike have ail vanish-ed. Ceremony is one thing and busi-ness another. After the silver boundtie was laid and the golden spike driv-en in the Pacific railroad?after they?had got done praying,' and beforeeast and west had fixed to their satis-faction what these emblematic articlesrepresented, the tie and the spikes(there were two of them) were quietlytaken up and deposited with Nevada'ssilver hammer in a car and sent toSan Francisco, while a common wood-en tie was substituted, and the last railsecured hi it by a common iron spike."
Western Correspondence.
THE Baltimore Gazette advocatesthe establishment of gold banks, now
that gold contracts are made legal byacts of Congress. The Gazette says:
By the establishment of a gold bankand the facilitating of the exchange ofgold checks, we would create an addi-tional gold currency which would beof great use in business. In ease of sud-den panics, by payment of a small dis-count for thirty or sixty days, mer-chants. who were suddenly called onfor coin, could raise the gold and saveprobably five or six per cent or e-veu more. A large amount of goldwhich is now in small sums would bemassed together and made available,and by the use of checks there wouldbe an interchange of what would lie inreality coin notes, ten times as largeas the actual amount of gold in bank.
* * It would facilitate and extenddealings in gold, and pave the way toresumption of specie payments. Isnot a gold bank a thing worth think-ing of?
DULL times, these. Business menare complaining bitterly, and many ofthem see little hope in the immediatefuture. The only thing to be done un-der the circumstances is for businessmen to keep up their spirits, and atthe same time keep themselves promi-nently before the public. To do this,they should select the best advertisingmedium through which to announcetheir places of business and what theyhave to dispose. Amongst the best, ifnot the very best, is the BEDFORDGAZETTE, which goes everywhere,and is read by thousands who read noother paper.
Adversity exasperates fools, dejectscowards, draws out the faculties of thewise and ingenious, puts the modest to
the necessity of trying their skill, awrsthe opulent, and makes the idle indu>-trious. Much may be said in favor ofadversity; but the worst of it is, It hisno friends.

Feeding Young (Jhickem. ?Consider-; ing the rojigh fi>od employed in
i ing young chickens and turkeys, itseems amazing that peqpic succeedhalf so well as they do. Young chick-ens and tender turkeys require softand rich food for the first two weeks,just as a netfl;>orn infant needs milfe!It would tie just as consistent to gorgethe delicate stomach of an infant withpopped corn and candy as to attemptto rear young chickens and turkeys oncoarse and raw meal and small ker-
nals of grain. And yet such feed isoften employed for that purpose wherelarge numbers of fowls are pro-duced. But the losses of youngchickens would be much less weresoft food employed until the youngbirds have acquired sufficient strengthto digest coarse and hard food. Inmany instances more than half thQturkeys that are hatched are so se-riously injured by improper food thatthey die before they are one weekold. Indeed, many people will not at-?tempt to rear turkeys, simply becaufethe young birds will die, in spite of alltheir efforts to raise them. The firstfood that young birds of any kindshould receive is boiled eggs. Afteran egg is boiled, cut the shell in two e-qual parts and place them where theyoung chickens can have access to thesoft and rich food. After they haveeaten the egg, a mush made of equajparts of Indian meal and wheat dourshould constitute their chief food. Ifmilk can be obtained, let it be made in-to curd. Great care should be taken,in the preparation ofchicken feed, toexclude everything that contains salt,only a small quantity will surely killyoung chickens and turkeys.?Farmer.
Ihird Work and Hard Driving.?Hor-ses were designed as beasts of burden,to relieve mankind of fatiguing drud-gery. Itdoes not hurt them to workhard, if they are treated kindly. It isn)t the hard drawing and ponderousbrads that wear out horses an i makethem poor, baulky, worthless, it is
the hard driving, the worry byrough inhuman, drivers, that uses upmore horse flesh, fat, and muscle thapall the labor the team performs.
Consider the ponderous loads thatteams are required to cart every day,they appear to grow fatter and stron-ger every year. They are treated kind-ly. On the other hand, other horsesthat do not perform half the labor soongrow poor and give out, and the nextthing we hear of them is, they diewith the harness on. Hard work doesnot kill them ; but the worrying, get-ting and abuse did the job.
Horses will do all the mowing andreaping on a large form, thrash thegrain, pitch the hay, turn the grind-stone, saw the wood, and perform al-most all the heavy labor that farmershave been accustomed to do, and growfat, if they are not worried aqd jerkedand kicked about as if they were a liv-ing football.
Keeping Jlams in Warm Weather. ?
Make bags of unbleached co,tton clothput the hams in, and then put a lay* uof fine soft hay all around them, so : sto make a stratum of between thecloth ad the hams. Ifmerely baggedthe flies will thrust their ovipositorsthrough the cloth and sting the meat;but the interposed hay keeps them off."It is a common practice to whitewashthe bags, but this is not so neat,and the bags cannot be well used again.Another mode is to bury them in oats
or some other grain but they, are moreapt to become injured from want of ven-tilation. Charcoal dust keeps thehams well, hut it is black and disagree-able, and hard to get off. Whichevermode is adopted, It is of vital impoi-tance that the work is done early iqthe spring, before the flies are stirring.Country Gentleman.
A farmer correspondent, speaking ofthe difficulty of swine driving, says it is"as whistling, after you know how,"to wit: to the end of a stout cord, tiean ear ofcorn ; drop it in front of thepig within five or six inches from hisnose, and commence draging it slowlyaway, in the direction you wish himto propel. Ifhis pigship shows evi-dence of hi i ted hopes, or arberration ofmind, from the singular conduct of thecorn, seduce him ' *'ie belief that it
is "all right," by letting him have abrief nibble at it,and then resuming tl eline of march. In this (says our infor-mant) the most obdurate pig may be
decoyed any reasonable distance. Hes tys he has deduced this from the factthat "men require motives for action?and why not pigs?"
