Comparativuly little is now being said or thought about the ‘Trztusvaal war, ublic attention having been turned to the trouble in China, which is fast as- suming alarming proportions. China is an immensely large country abounding in natural wealth, and her people, about 500,000.000 in number, ' have made but little progress for thousands of years, during, which the rulers have oppressed and robbed the workers as the workers are, to a greater or less extent, oppress» ed and robbed, in one way or another, all over the world. who appear to have been on the whole fairly Well of, are extremely conserva- tive. and greatly object to the presence in their country of the people of other nations, whom they impoliter refer to arisen from the determination of foreign- ers to Convert them to Christianity--â€" and also to make money out of them. They wanted to be let alone for some more thousands of years; but, Whether they like it or not, China will be over- run and exploited by clerical and lay invaders at a terrible expenditure of blood and treasure. The “foreign devils "are not only at their doors but have already commenced to force their way in. col the China of the future will differ very materially from the China of the past. But. per contra. the Chinese are beginning,r to overrun the earth, as Napoleon Bonaparte nearly a hundred years ago predicted they would do if not left. to themselves. Aâ€" Waste of Money. The last week of the sessionâ€"at least, everyone hopes it is. although we are none too sure Looking: back over the Weary, dreary five months that Parlia- ment has been sitting. one realizes the woful waste of public time. and money cans‘red by the inexcusable dilatorinessof our law makers. The waste of time might not matter much, for apparently it- is worth little to the majority of mem- bers, but. the waste of public money is a more seriou‘. matter that is not suflic- iently appreciated by the people. Each day that Parliament sits costs the coun- try thousands of dollars, and for fully half the number ofdays that the present session has lasted. the money might just as well have been thrown into the river, for all the good it has done to anyone. Days and weeks have been wasted in the fruitless discussion of abstract motions, in talking against time, in inventing,r reckless and utterly groundless charges agaihst all and sundry of the Ministers or any of the ofiicials that the fancy of an Oppo-itionist might indicate. The Government has displayed exemplary patience towards the obstructionists; in fact. one is inclined to think sometimes that altogether too much consideration has been shown them. But it. at least has had the result of establishing the Government more firmly than ever in the public confidence. and leaves the re- spective parties in a position before the country which the most enthusiastic supporter of the Government could not possibly desire to see improved. It is comical, and decidedly entertaining. to observe the energy with which the Op. positionists are whistling to keep their courage up as the time dram near for a general appeal to the electorate. Pre- dictions of the complete annihilation of But: the Chinese, . as “foreign devils,” and the trouble has . are to the Tory prophets. the more de- cisive is the thrashing they receive at. the ballot bvx. No one who has oppor- tunities of Feeling the public pulse at- the present time can doubt that history will repeat itself once more at this time. Appalling Calamity at New York. The most frightful calamity in many years occurred in the city of'New York last Saturday afternoon, in consequence of some bales of cotton taking fire, from an unknown cause, on pier No. 3 of the North German Lloyds Steamship Corn- pnny at Hobokcn. The fire spread from pier to pier and from ship to ship in the river, and the terrible sight. was one that these who witnessed it will never forget. The loss of property, estimated 'Iat $10,000,000, sinks into insignificance in comparison with the loss of life, for at least 200 human beingsâ€"possiny many moreâ€"were either burned to death, sullocatcd by the smoke or drown- ed. Fire is no respect-er of persons, and members of the ships’ crews and passengers. men, women and children, were among the victims. Scores of them perished in the holds of the burning steamships, and were seen, frantically which were so small that only one man, who was very thin. could be pulled through, though the hands of many others could be. touched. The fire iiglitin,,r appliances of New York are without doubt as' good as any in the world, but practically nothing could be done to arrest the progress of the flames. whioh’ leaped from pier to pier and from ship to ship with frightful rapidity. Drsastrous Fire Falls. What proved to be quite a disastrous fire broke out about noon last Saturday in the kitchen roof of an unoccupied house owned by Mr. William McCarthy. on Elliott street,. and is said to have been caused by a spark from a stovo- pipe that ran through the side of the feet distant, owued by Mrs. Margaret Ellis and occupied by Mrs. Valycar. As soon as the alarm was given the hose was attached to the force-pump at Mr. Sundford’s and the hose then of water, Mrs. Eilis’s and Mr. McCar- thy’s houses were enveloped in flames, and a mammoth arable bu3’t years ago with other property by the Lindsay Light, Heat and Power Co., was also on fire and could not be saved. This struc- ture was west. of the burning houses. and the next one cast was a house owned by Thomas Cook, and this. though badly scorched. was saved from destruction ; buts. good-sized double house owned and occupied bythlr. Thomas Scott and a smaller one mwued and occupied by Mrs. Fox wore both burned, as the hose was not loud: enough to throw far- ther than Mr. Carr’s. The old fashion- ed engine owned by the corporation was not brought out, as the two or three wells behind the the houses would only have supplied it with water for a few, minutes. As there was a strong wind from the north-west, Mr. Scott’s house, though the last but. one in therow, did not catch fire until Mrs. Fox’s, cast of it, was wrapped in flames, and might have been saved if Mrs. Fox’s could have been pulled down. In addition to the above, Mr. Thomas Sadlcr’s store-houseand ice-house, Mr. (Jack's stable, hen-house, pig-pen and wood- shed,” which contained ten or twelve cords of Wood, Mr. Scott’s stable. with about forty five hens and chickens therein. a large quantity of wood and inch lumber piled in Mrs. Fox’s yard, and a pile of at least two hundred ties. owned by Mr. George Martin, were all. destroyed, together with the fences around the lots on which the buildings stow], Comparativer little furniture or clothing was burnt, but a good deal was damaged in its hasty removal from the burning houses, which, being all built of wood. were consumed very rap- irll-y. Mrs. Fox had no insurance at for $350. Mr. McCarthy's for $300, Mrs. Eilis’s for 31000. and the damage done to Mr. Carr's was fully covered. After the above was in type we learn- ed, with much regret. that Mrs. Fox lost not only nearly all her furniture and clothing, but also the sum of $105 in c tsb.
