Whilst the eyes of the civilized world arc earnestly fixed on the momentous and unexpected events which Jare now tianspiring in the Celestial Kingdom, theie seems to be a general ignoiauce prevailing legarding the causes which have led up to the present terrible condition of affairs. It has all come around so suddenly that the general run of people wonder what it's all . about. It means, apparently, something like���China for the Chinese -and defiance to all the world. ' �� The Chinese are the most exclusive people , mentioned in history. -They want nothing to do with' the outside world and only crave to be 1 left entirely to themselves, even --.o- ,ing to the enormous trouble and expense of raising the famous wall to 'keep out ' the inland barbarians. But .they could uot raise a wall along the coast to keep the sea-going "foreign devils" out, and parts* of their sea-board territory have been seized by the British, French, ���Russians and Germans". Added to all this, and worst of all, was the introduction of - large numbers of -Christian missionaries who have been proselytizing energetically for 3rears. At every place which could be reached, there was the missionary preaching the, to them, absurd and demoralizing doctrines that women were possessed of souls and other such damnable heresies. Children were being taken away from their parents and taught of strange gods at the missions, and, altogether, the Flowery Kingdom was getting in a bad way. To counteract this, a society was instituted some years ago under a name which has been Anglicised for convenience into the "Boxeis." This society is a patriotic one, and aims at running all foreigners out ot the country. The Empress Dowager, who is all potent iu China,* is with the movement hand and glove. The German foicible occupation of Kiau Chau and late Russian encroachments have denionstia. w. Sunday, Monday aud Tuesday saw many visitors to the different creeks and benches, representation time having arrived.. The difference from last season was very, striking. Then/it was ten raeu to one claim; now there seems to be more claims than hands to man them.. As a result, Atlin is now, without doubt, the most prosperous mining camp in the Province. No man need be idle who is fit and willing to' work. Lots of payable claims can be had for the recording or on easy lays, whilst the hydraulic companies are always open1 to engage men at wages" from four dollars a- day upwards. Domestic help in,the hotels is very scarce, and any "moderately hancty woman can readily command from $60 to $75 per month and board at-that class-of work.

A party of men were talking one evening of the wonders .they :had seen, but, a Yankee who was present yawned even at the most exciting tale. At length one of the talkers sneeringly said that of course he'would know of things more wonderful. ' ' "Waal," drawled the Yankee, "I just do. But wc don't heed them in Ameriky." " You mean Niagara Falls, and the Mammoth Cave and such things?" "Bah!" was the exclamation. "We don't count caves, nor waterfalls, nor burning mountains, nor boiling springs, though we can beat creation with them. Say did you ever hear of the petrified forest in Ari- zony?���hundred of thousands of acres of stone forests?'' "And the trees standing?"s - , "Waal, I should say so; not only standing but all in leaf, and some in blossom,,and others full of nuts and other fruit, all turned into stone." "And I suppose there were birds in the trees?"-said one sarcastically. "Birds! No end of birds, sir, all of the most beautiful plumage, and all turned into stone. Even the nests in the trees, aud the eggs iu them, were petrified in the "most wonderful manner you ever saw. I see some of you fellows doubt me. Waal, all I have to say is that I'll take you there to prove it. I'll tell you what I saw last time I was in the petrified forest. There was a'hunt- er who must have been in the forest when the petrificaction took place, for he was petrified too, and there he stood, as straight as you please, with a petrified gun to his shoulder taking aim at a petrified bird. Why, all was so natural that you could see the shot and the smoke coming out of the muzzle of the���" "I've got you there!',' interrupted one.
