The bill does this by all adequate ways and penalties. There is nothing of verity in the written history of mankind equal to the magnetism of this our land. It draws to itself by an attractive force millions of our kind who would seek the betterment of their -condition and the noblest inspirations of liberty. Whether De Quincy wrote fact or fancy in his wonderful and elaberate essay on the "Flight of a Tartar tribe." whether his picture was born of the fumes of opium or from the recondite and fictitious screed -of some learned Mongolian. certainly never did literature contain such a weird description of an exodus! No anabais or expedition. either -in profane or sacred history. compares with it.

Vengeance and privations in every form. of arms. hunger thirst. and cold. tracked in blood and death footsteps of two hundred thousand Kalmucks with their families and herds. bound in one great league of misery. until foes met in a terrific agony. to lap in common in their maddening thirst the waters of a lake outside the great wall -of China. which became incarnadined in a death grapple of mutual frenzy. And there the startling and memorable horror ended !
