CHINESE PEST.

Tub San Frrncisco correspondent to the Wellington Chronicle, reports die arrival en route, for Washington oi' a Chinese Embassy, largely provided with fends, to stem the opposition non - prevalent to the further introduction of their countrymen. The writer says The powers interested in China find the millions o£ specie flowing into their coffers from the profits of Coolie labor too valuable to be given up without a struggle, so they are preparing to throw dust in the eyes of Brother Jonathan, whose high-toned mandarins at Washington are easily influenced by glitter of all kinds, so their almond-eyed brothers will have an easy task iiomc the queen city

of civilization in the past centuries, and her provinces were overwhelmed by the barbarians of Northern and Central Europe, who were then designated the Northern Hive. Now the swarm of this century comes from China, whose teeming bestial millions are on the wing to alight on any civilized country they can despoil, encroach, or fatten on. The nations begin to realise this fact, and some day not far distant they will see the movements of Chinese aggression accelerated by western arts the followers of Confucius have so quickly learned, especially the art of war. The new slave-dealers now realise that the strong Chinese opposition growing up here must be overcome to them to be successful in establishing their operations on a grand scale in America, with California as a base, to utilize her steam facilities and wealth in gold, as a lever in their encroachment. So they inaugurate battle with Chinese diplomatic craft and cunning, the very essence of all meanness and deceit in the wide world. If they succeed in this, in a few decades the Octopus will, with its touches, grasp the Pacific coast of North and South America, and all the islands of the Pacific. By the force of numbers, and other agencies, peculiarly their own, these swarms of Pagans will drag clown to their level the' population of the countries which they overran, by living so meanly and vilely that the others starve or die, or if they can get away, they leave disgusted by the repulsion of so foul a presence, until at last the lands which were blessed with people civilised, hopeful, progressive, and ambitious, will be filled with a pnletariat of brutal Pagans, and their bitter antagonists, ending in a war of races in this hemisphere so terrible, that it will shock the world, and roll back civilization here to dark and unknown depths. Herein lies the imperative necessity of action on the part of rulers of countries whose shores are washed by the Pacfic wave, in making intelligent laws to defeat this conspiracy of Mongolian craft.”

. 'the traffic returns of the Wellington Tramway showed that during- the twelve days the line has been open no less than 24,000 persons have availed themselves of its service, the heaviest day showing receipts' for the carriage of no less than 3220. The Auckland Evening Star, of August 20th, saj’s —Another old and respected settler has passed to his rest. Mr Rout died at his residence early this morning, at the ripe age of 80 years. Mr Rout first landed in New Zealand at Wellington in 1840. After five years’ residence there ho returned to England and brought out his family in 1848, chousing Auckland as his place of settlement. The Lake Wakatip Mail, referring to proposals in the Public Works Statement, says : —“ Why lines such as Cromwell to Queenstown, and Lake Wakatip to Martin’s Bay (bound to be reproductive as soon as completed) should be shelved for the next live or ten years, and that wild goose extension, Clyde to Wanaka, should be proceeded with at once, is beyond our comprehension.” Tha following from the MclbonrmvLv/tfs is the result of an experiment with Nobel's Patent Dynamite—A tree about 12 feet in circumference was selected for the trial, about 31b. of the dynamite (the charge costing 7s) being inserted in two ho'es bored under the trunk. The result of this explosion was to lift the whole mass of the tree right out of the ground, scattering the roots and brandies in all directions, and leaving a great hols in the earth. The work of uprooting was very completely done, and the expenditure saved by the application of a power of this kind in such cases may ho calculated from the fact that the mass raised was estimated to weigh 20 <<* ami the cutting down and grubbing ot the tree was considered to be a good clay’s work for two men. Strangers and country settlers coming to Carlyle, are A-ery often at a loss to know which is the best and cheapest General Drapery and Clothing Establishment in the ' district. It. A. Adams’ Cardigan House, offers special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the district. He keeps the largest and best assorted stock of every description of drapery goods, imported direct—and from the best colonial houses ; which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, and having thorough knowledge of the business, enables him to offer goods of sterling quality at pi ices that cannot be improved on by any other house in New Zealand. Every article is marked in plain figures, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people arc as well served as the best judges, the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. Note the address— R. A. Adams; Cardigan House, nearly opposite Town [fall, Carlyle. — advt. Holloway's Ointment and Fills. —Old Soros, Wounds, and Ulcers.—The readiness with winch Holloway’s Unguent removes all obstructions in the circulation of the vessels and lympliati.es explains their irresistible influence in healing old sores, bad wounds, and indolent ulcers. To insure the desired effect, the skin surrounding the diseased part should be fomented, dried, and immediately well rubbed with the Ointment. This will give purity to the foul blood, and strength to the weakened nerves, the only conditions necessary for the cure of all these hideous ulcerations which render life almost intolerable. No sooner is tiiis Ointment’s protective power exerted than the destructive process ceases, an 1 the constructive business begins. New healty growths appear to fill up the lately painful excavated pit.
