In 1709 one of tho Emperor's Chief Ministesrs fearing lest the practice of smoking opium "should spread among all tho people ol tho inner land, to the waste of their time and the destruction of their property," presented a memorial requesting that the sale of the drug should be prohibited, and that offenders should bo made amenable to punishment. A short lime alter this, the government took the matter in hund, and began to enact special laws in reference to it. It was no', however until 1820, that they made (lie prohibition very stringent, and commenced in earnest to indict the penalties of the violated law. In 38:50-32-34, one edict after another was issued, declaring that the injury done by the influx of opium, and by the increase of tlioje inhaling it, was nearly equal to a general conflagration, and denouncing upon tho seller and smo ker of this poison, the bastinado, the wooden collar, imprisonment, banishment and the entire confiscation of his property, yes, even mow, the severer penally of capital punishment, either by decapitation or strangulation. But they soon found, as wo have also done in our legislative experience,that the evil is not removed simply by the punishment of the drunkard or the drunkard maker. For a time under the directions of the Vice President of the Sacrificial Court at Pekin, they seemed some what inclined, like some of our city legislators, to go into the licence system and thus c.ontroll and regulate the evil tliey could not abolish, as well as secure revenue from it. But what was tho noble answer of the Emperor. "It is true" said he, "1 capnot prevent the introduction of the flowing poison ; gain-seeking and corrupt men will, for profit and sensuality, defeat my wish, but nothing will induce me to derive a revenue from the vice and misery of my people I" When shall we hear CJur owu professedly enlightened christian legislators say the same ! 8n*4licit 1111a Anthracite Jourunl AND PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY GEORGE M.

Waveily is about equal distant from the cities of New York and Philadelphia, being 100 miles Iroin each in a direct line. The surveyed route of the North Pennsylvania Railroad varies only 14$ miles from an air line in any point, and the length of the surveyed route is 210$ miles from Waverly to Philadelphia. This railroad will pass over each ol the great coal fields of anihiacite in Pennsylvania, ond will run from Waverly down the Susquehanna valley to Pittston,where it leaves that valley and crosses a .summit of less than seventy feet to the mile, and follows the Lehigh valley to Allentown. The line then leaves the Lehigh valley and crosses the country to Philadelphia. The summit near Wilkesliarro lies between the great anthracite coal basins, and is 1,030 feet above tidewater, requiring a gradient of near seventy, feet per mile to overcome it on the Northern slope. This is the maximum gradient oil the whole route, and is required at no other point; the steepest gradient elsewhere being sixty feet per mile. This is also the highest summit between Philadelphia and Buffalo. It is forty.scven feet lower thar. the Elk summit, and three hundred and forty nine feet lower than the Clarion summit—both on the Sunbury and Erie road—and is five hundred and thirtyone feet lower than the Allegheny summit ■of the Pennsylvania Central road.

Finding on careful examination, that the fines, imprisonment, torture and execution, which lmd occasionally been inflicted on the Chinese people, for violating the laws ogainst selling or smoking the drug, had not perceptibly ciiecked its traffic, he at length decided to lay the axe at the root of the tree. Other laws having failed, he determined to anticipate the Maine Law, and make war directly upon the opium itself. He commanded that all the accursed drug, whether stored in the factories, or on board of ships' in the harbor, should be surrendered, and when this was done, he ordered his faithful commissioner. Lin, to destroy it utterly. Nobly disdaining to eniich his'treasury by a sale that would not fall short of $20,000,000, the whole was emptied into the river, to bo mixed wiih its mud, and carried off by its waves.

This economy laudable enough in the beginning, had narrow, fd itself into a miserly sharpness, and for ibis reason his frequent summer travels were a mutter of fonder to his neighbors. But Peleg knew very well that visiting was cheap. Tenderness for his purse and tenderness for his relatives, were his two prominent characteristics : and ir. the exercise of each lie exhibited a remarkable degree of sagacity and dogged perseverance. But, in every other respect, poor I'eleg was hopelessly dull, tie claimed a right to the hospitality of a second or a third cousin as undeniably as the shelter of his own roof, and no more comprehended that any one's convenience or pleasure was to be oonsulted no tnore than if he had been a house-fly. There was nothing of the whistling, whittling, impudent Yankee ubout him. On the contrary, his manner was cringing, creeping, and he was not to be repelled by any ordinary coolness or dclicuto suggestions to shorten his visits (lis obtuseness was an ample sheild against such weipons. " Whom have we here ?" said Mr. Car roll to his wife—a proud, lofty, fastidiously fashionable woman.

BP  The following incident, illustrative of an OR JONATHAN IN A FIX, The North Pennsylvai ii Railroad is entirely a Pennsylvania work, and the greatest interest is felt in Philadelphia and the towns and counties along the line, in its success. The estimated cost of the work is 830,000 per mile, or a little over six millions of dollars for the 216 miles. On the last day of the year 1853, the subscriptions to the capital stock amounted to 1, 538,600, of which 50,000 was subscribed by Philadelphia and Spring Garden, in their corporate capacity. Great confidence is felt by ihe friends of the road that abundant funds will be provided without the issue of bonds on the company. The work is in progress from Philadelphia to Bethlehem, fifty-four miles, or one quar ter of the whole distance to Waverly, and the chief engineer, Edward Miller, Esq., reports that he expects to complete Iho road to Bethlehem early in 1855. There will be branches to Doylstown, E as ton, Wilkesbaire and other points near the main route. The Easton branoh will open a very direct route to New York city. Thomas S. Fernon, Esq., the President of the company, is entitled to the credit of having suggested this great work, and brought it to the notice of the citizcns of Philadelphia. While it will open an important line of travel betwen that city and the western part of New Yorft, with facil. ities of communication with the coal beds, it will not dimmish the business on the railroads and canals of New Yok, but rather increase the business by the greater interchange of trade and travel which must take place. orPOalTB 8CRANTON* 8 PLATF8 STORE, SCltANTON, PA GEO.
