WORLD-CONQUERING CHINA.

Lord Wolselry has made up his mind that the Chinese are the corning nation, and that the Mongolians will overrun the world. His predictions, hisjj warnings, and his advice are formulated in an article which is printed in tho Review of Reviews, the new London periodical of which Mr. Stead, formerly editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, is editor. People who like to be scared may enjoy reading his views : — The Battle of Armageddon will take pice between the Chinese and the Englishspeaking races. There will bo, I assume, anothor war between France and Germany, and it will bo about the bloodiest war or series of wars which we have seen in Europe. But, sotno day, a great general or lawgiver will arise in China, and the Chinese, who have been, motionless for three, centuries, will begin to progress. They will take to the profession of arms, and then they will hurl themselves upon the Russian Empire. Before the Chinese armies—as they possess every military virtue, are stolidly indifferent to death, and capable of inexhaustible endurance—the Russians will go down. Then the Chinese'armies will march westward. They will overrun India, sweeping us into the sea.' Asia will belong to them, and then, at last, English, Americans, Australians will have to rally for a last desperate conflict. So certain do I regard this that I think one fixed point of our policy should bo to strain every nerve and make every sacrifice to keep on good terms with China. China is a great power."
