RJEMOTOG THE CAPITAL.
Tlic .Fort Kearney Reservation
the
'' Centre of the Continent.
. 'V ' - "" ' ;
How to Pay tnc National Debt and Sell
, pur Public Lands. -
As they talk- about, reraovincr the
capital, from Washington, land in that
ancient' city declines. .As tney taiic
about 'taking Jt to ,St. LpuiSj land in
that fossilized Mississippi, river settle
.naentgoes up. And atNauvoo, tuere
is jexcitement in. real estate circles
whenever Nauvoo is mentioned as.the
future capital of western civilization.
Tfio Land Owner has heretofore
vhplly ignored these periodical at
tempts to bull and bear the land mar
ket, or the, part of. various influential
newspaper concerns, in this, city and
out of it. Now, however, ithas a cho
sen spot itself a very paradise for the
National capital. And, Jieqceforth,
it will ever advocate that our Ameri
can eagle's proud capitoline crest
shall wave on, the Fort Kearney Res
ervation, in the wilderness of Ne
braska !
The Vallev of the Platte on the Fort
Kearney Military Reservation is about
ten miles wide the river with the
islands being; about ten miles wide.
At Fort Kearney the islands of the
.Platte are very numerous, so numer
ous that they are called "The Thous
and Islands." These inlands are cov
ered with iine growths of trees, con
sistingof Cottonwood, cedar, willow,
ash, elm, and other useful and orna
mental shrubs, grapes, plums, and
electarines, or buflalo berries, a tart
fruit about the size of the common
currant, that grows there wild in.
great profusion. The gentle running
waters of the Platte, the island groves,
the level prairie lands of the valley,
clothed with verdure, and the many
peaked hills and bluffTskirting the
valley, make a landscape scenery
truly beautiful, and one w.cll suited as
a site for the Nation's capital, produc
tive alike of statesmanship and virtue.
iliV, VUUUglllp Ul HIV. 11UIIU1IUI ViUJJi-
tal from its present 16cation to the
Fort Kearney Military Reservation,
would advance the material welfare
of the people of Nebraska and the
States adjoining very much. Omaha,
Plattsmouth, Nebraska City, Brown
viile, Rulo, Eellevue, and Blair, 'In
Nebraska; Council BluiTs, 'Si6iix
City, Gienwood, and other towns in
Iowa; Atchison, Leavenworth, White
Cloud, and other towns in Kansas;
St. Joseph, Weston, Kansas City,
and other towns in Missouri all of
which towns are on the Missouri river,
would especially be very materially
benefitted.
.Tim national capital once located in
the lieart of Nebraska, settlements
would spring up, real estate would
become of mpre importance, these
'central plains for hundreds' of miles
around, now, a wilderness, would be
entirely transformed. The land would
he covered with thriving villages,
adorned with beautiful buildings and
spotted with groves aud avenues of
trees. Not only would Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri be helped
by the change, but the whble nation
would be benefitted. The capital once
located, a great centralization of fail--roads
would take place, coming to th&
national capital from all quarters of
the republic.
With the nation's capital in the
heart of the, continent, all ambassa-.
dors, business men and visitors from
European and Asiatic countries would
see the extent of our land and make
favorable reports of our greatness,
progress, and development to their
respective governments, and peoples,
which would impel emigration, and
so; much more tend to build up and
strengthen the republic.
' In the discussion of this great ques
tion, the fact should also be consid
ered, that in the event of a foreign
war, a war which would probably be
a coinoination. of foreign powers
against us, the present capital would
be in great danger, especially as our
enemies would most likely have im
mense fleets. There wouldhave to be
an .aimy of fifty or a hundred thous
and men to protect it. But if it was
morecentrally located in the heart of
thria$.pn.,it could never be molested,
and bur army used to better advan
tage elsewhere.
The old capitol could be used as a
national university for the instruction
of our youth the children of our
wounded and dead soldiers andsailors.
Otherpublic buildings could be used
asmuseums of science and art. Noth
ing need be-lost, nothing sacrificed.
Once located in the Valley of the
Platte, the capital Avould drive out the
bloody Sioux, and Blackfee't and
Crows, whose well-known dislike for
civilization of a high tone is proverbi
al. Poor Lo would then be poor indeed,-foras
his hunting grounds would
be played out entirely, there would be
no westward regions of moose and
buffalo for him to fly to. His associa
tions with the honorable members of
Congress would tend: to elevate his
moral ehanicer, and teach lam to live
virtuous and .happy.
And the national debt is at once liq
uidatGd by the removal of the capital
to the pellucid waters of the Platte !
There is a billion acres of land be the
samffmore or less between. Chicago

CHINA AND THE CHINESE.

BYIES. H. B. STANFORD,
Since these'pebple are nol only to
be our nbxt door" neighbors', but part
and parcels of our households hereaf
ter, we may as- well .begin, first as
dast, to" become a little; Riore. familiar
with, "John ChiniVmanj'an'd his hab-t

created intelligences, inviting them
into clcse fellowship, where' each' in
.the world's work, shall help the other,
and all move in peace and harmony.
China proper, is about the size of
the United States, andjuears a striking
resemblance in climate, 'productions
and in artificial divisions. It occupies
the same position in the eastern hem
isphere that the United States do in
the western. Its liueof sea coast on
the Pacific is like ours on the Atlan
tic, and both are nearly in the same
parallels of latitude. A, great river
like the Mississippi divides the em
pire into equal parts, and flows"
through an immense fertile valley.
The Chinese empire includes, in ad
dition to China proper, several territo
ries, making its whole circumference
12,000 miles and 'its area 5000,000
square miles nearly twice as largeas
the United States. But Ghina proper,
contains the largest proportion of the
population, Wealth and intelligence of
the empire, and is divided into eigh
teen provinces of which, "like our
States, has a'capital city, and all these
capitals .throughout, tbc empire are
surrounded by walls from twenty to
thirty feet high.. Arched gateways
open into the principal streets, and
are shut and barred at night. Over
17Q0 cities are thus inclosed. Suppo
sing each city to average a circumfer
ence of four mile3 each, the whole
length of the wall, such as has been
described, would be G,8Q0 miles, nearly
one-third the circumference, of the
globe7 If to this the i500 miles of
continuous wall separating China
from Chinese Tarta'ry in the north,, be
added, it will swell the estimate to
'more than' 8,000 miles. The Chinese
believe in walls, it would seem; but
they are for use and protection, and
not, for ornament.
China, as we studied it at school,
becomes quite another country when
presented to us through the observa
tion and experience of those whose
reports are reliable. The question
naturally arises,, why are the-Chinese
so anxious to leave theiuowri country,
fertile and beautiful as any on the
globe, and conic here where they meet
people so unlike themselves in man
ners and customs, and to whom to a
great extent, they must bconly "hew
ers, of wood and drawers of water."
Bread, and remunerative toil is what
they seek. When we consider how
dense is the population of; China,
400,000,000, the wonderwill cease why
.they flock so eagerly to a country that
will give them more room with plen
ty of labor and a reasonable recom
pense for it. There, every inch of
soil is made to produce) food for man
and not for beast, and so pasture lands
are but little known. HilL-tops and
valleys, aud even the mountain sides,
are terraced to the bight of 500 or
1,000 feet, aud made to yield like gar
dens. ' ,
The Chinese eat very little nriimal
food mostly pork and fowls, as the
raising of these requires but very lit-'
tie ground. But few horses, cattle
and sheep, are found in,, the cquntry,
and these are, kept in .stables or teth
ered by the side 'of canals. And, so
rpast beef and steak, ,with milk in its
various forms, are luxuries not com
monto them.k Perhaps rat-stews,
puppypies and' bird's nest puddings
supply the loss! Though to do, them
justice, it is said, by those who have
lad ample opportunity to know, that
t is only 4t.he, poorest and most degra
ded class that eat such liufit and un
palatable things.
The modespf traveling in China
differ in different parts, of the empire.
Along the coast and'in the -southern
part, canals take the place of roads.
The main one is the Imperial canal,
600 miles long, and the aggregate -of
the lesser ones is very inucli more.
Farmers have branch canals running
to their houses, and the farm-boat
takes th'e place of the farm-cart .or,
wagbu. Where canals' are most nu
merous, the roads are simply foot
paths, paved with flag stones, and
run along tne canals or wind among
the un fenced fields. Jn central and
southern China1 the streets Of the
cities-are not'niuch wider than the
paths in the country, varying from
five to ten or fifteen feet. Among the
canals; vehicles and beasts of burden
and draught are dispensed with, while
in the mountain districts passengers
dnd'goods are carried by men, the for
mer in a sedan, bytwo'men, and the
latter by coolies. Itisstated that two
sedan-bearers will carry a -man of orr
dinary size, with thirty pounds of
luggage, twenty miles in arday ; and
a coolie, "with more than one hundred
and fifty pounds burden', will perforin
theisame journeyi in- nearly the same
time. Beasts-of burden' they are. tru
ly industrious, patient and for the
most part contented and happy. But
society has its two sides here as else
where; Inithe cities and villages are
to be: seen, -men elegantly dressed and
with polished .manners, showing a. de
gree of refinement and. civilization in
the country hard to believe, when
judging by the specimens flocking- by
thousonds to the Pacific, 'coast. And
may the good Father above, put it in?
to the hearts" of all American citizens
to deal just and merciful by them,
since they seek our shores for.au Jjon
est. living;
- The productions of China are rice,
tobacco, cotton' and sugar-cane in the
southern and central ; winter wheat,
millet in the 'southern, arid Indian
corn in all the provinces. Cotton,
supplies the yost portion, of the popu
lation with clothing: and it is all
spun and woven by the women, ihe
Chinese being ignorant of modern
machinery. What a. government to
lLve.and die under!, If the city of
Lawrence, in the old Bay.State, with
its cotton mills, could besefc.down. in

the pig-toils it would create, and how

southern provinces, and the varieties
are owing in part to different soil, cli
mate,, localities, and to the time , of
plucking the leaf; but principally to
the mode of curing-it for foreign mar
kets, t The best black tea is said tc- be

Disorders Incident to SpriHgy
In the, spring of the year pill-makers
reap rich harvests frorri the Sale
of their nostrums. A single7dealer
haa informed us.thal in a town of 5,000
people, between the first of March
and the first of June, he has sold as
many as 900 boxes of pills. Of course,
thtty had been puffed well by alma
nacs devoted to that purpose. The
reason why there is always such, a de
mand forpuj'Sic in the spring;, when
the warm weatherof March and April
comes, people keep on eatilig. too
mucn load, more 'tnan can-oe man
aged by the 'stomach except during,
.tljjj cold winter weather. . The result
is,, the stomach ispvertaxed, the liver
and bowels obstructed, the blood deV.
teriorated,and the patient, for-'waTifc
ot knowledge, knows no better--taan,
to resort to pnysic. j
The true method to be, observed in
sucih cases Is, on the approach of
spring to.eafe less food, and of a milder
nature., .The brown breadishould take
the place, otheyrhitej-df. white is;
usdd. in thewm'ter. More fruit should'
bejtaken. Avoid stale vegetables. "If
you have not'godd pbtatoes, eat' node,,
forlpoor potatoes are very unwhole
some. If you , have good potatoes,
bake or boil them, and' riot, fry or
hash; eat with fresh creani ihstead.of
gravy orbutter. Use freely ott&hned
fruit, or well kept apples; at least
one. meal.. Avoid fat meat, pastry,,
cakes; rich putddings, and live sjui
ply and naturally. .
Every family- should put- up for
spring use sufficient good fruit, to
have an abundance of it .during
March, April and .May', and as soon
as strawberries' ripen they should be
used freely. Strawberries for those
who have attacks of the disorders In
cident to spring, are one of the best
remedies that can be used. We pity
the family that does not have them
in abundaace, and arly ones, too.
Nature seems to have made them on
purpose to meet a demand of the sys
tem in early summer, and we hav.q
known many cases of invalids being
greatly improved' by their free use.
Wilson, the ornithologist was once or
dered by an Indian doctor to live on
strawberries in order to cure an obsti
nate dysentery, and, to his surprise,
lie) was cured in less than a week.
The tomato, which can be canned iu
almost unlimited, quantities, so as to
be as fresh and good in the spring as
in autumn, should also be used freely,
and not as an oceasisnal luxury, but
as a regular article. of diet. They are
especially wholesome at this seosoaof
tuu year. Aiiese simple ruies iouow
ed, will in-most cases prevent much
disease and suffering. Herald of
Jleaith.
The Christian Gentleman.
A writer thus describes the Chris
tian gentleman :
He is abpvo a. mean thing. He ;can
notstoop.to a mean fraud. He in
vades no secret In the keeping of aiH
other; he betrays no secret confined
to his keeping. Ho never struts in
borrowed plumage. He never takes
selfish advantagqof pur mistakes. He
uses no ignoble weapons In controver
sy. He never stabs in the dark. . He
is ashamed of in uendoes.. He is not
one thing to a man's face and another
behind his back. If by accident he
comes in possession' of his neighbor's
counsels, he passes upon them an act
of Instant oblivion. He bears sealed
packages without tampering with the
wax. Papers not meant for his eye,,
whether they flutter at his window or
lie open before liim in ungarded ex
posure, aro sacred to him. He in
vades no privacy of others however
the sentry, sleeps. Bolts and bars,
locks and keys, hedges ar)d pickets,
bonds and 'securities, notice to tres
passers,, are none of them for him.
Ho may be trusted out of sight, near
the thinnest partition, anywhere. He
buys no offices, he sells none, he In
trigues for none. 'He would rather
fail of his rights than win them
through dishonor. He will eat Hon
est bread. He trampels ou no. sensi
tive feeling. He insults no man. Tf
he have rebuke for another; he is
straightforward, open, manly ; he edti,
not descend, to scurrility. Ir short,
whatever . ho judges honorable he
practices toward every man.
Don't Gossip.
Beys and girls, when you meet
gether, talk about the books you
to-
are
reading, the sights you have seen, but
do not gossip, uoout other .boys and
girls who are absent.
And, if you must talk about others,
tell the good, kind and pleasant
things you know or have heard about
them; how John Grant got to the
Tiead of the class ; or Katie Drew staid
after school-time to help little Anna
Brown with her sums. Or when
Frank Smith got a bad fall, through
thecarelessness of AlbertSim?s, (who
is so clumsy, you know, but always
so sorry for it), he bore the pain like
a hero, not to add to poor Simes? dis
tress, at the result of his heedlessness.
