Yet from the Diversity Of onr soil, extent of
country, and variety of climate, the word 0bun-
dnnce best expresses the garnerngs in of every
harvest
The amount of Indian corn raised, seems a
matter of wonderment. The half starved opera
tives of Europe may well look at those returns
with glistcning eyes, for il affords % bushels Of
corn alone cr every man woman and child in this
coNntry. Indian corn will rarely bear cxporta.
tion and therefore but little is carried abroad.
1t is nearly all consumed at home. Our cattle
enjoy an abundance of that food which would he
deemed luxury in Europe. Such is the prolific
fertility of our soil and the extent of production
under the competition Of freemen.
Egypt was once called the granary OF the
world, but America in the extent of its wheat
production as well as the superiority of lis quail
ty, will throw into the shade even the fables Of

WHITE SLAVERY

One of The last numbers of La lane, a
paper published in Hungary, contains the fol.
lowing announcements, from Walachia:
'To be sold, by the sons and heirs Of the
late Nicholas Nika, at Bucharest, two hun
dred families-the male members Of which
ara for the greater part, laborers, locksmiths,
shoemakers, goldsIniihs and musicians. The
proprietor of these families will not dispose
Of them in any smaller lots than thoss. con-
sistiDg of five families, but the price is at
least lower by a ducat per head, than the or
binary established ratesSand advantageous
facilities for payment are rendered"
This announcement is not as might besup
posed at first sight, a pleasantly; it is serious
and what is more, it is legal; for the Civil
Code, granted in 1918, by the prince Joen
Karadech, 10 the pr~incipalities of Moldavia
and Walachia, and which is at this day in full
force and vigor, actually sanctions this slay-
cry.
Thus, while the christian nations Of Europe
are yearly expanding millions in sending war
vessels to the African coast, for the purpose
of preventing the trade in black slaves, white
ones are advertised and sold, under the pro-
lection OF the law, in Two Christian conn
tries, situated in the very interior Of Europe
itself.

OUR ~ETIOUErTE.

a letter from Rio de Jamerio, published in the
Brooklyn Star, furnishes the following sketch OF
the etiquette observed at The Corr OF Brazil on
tie occasion Of the presentation of The Ameri-
lean Minister:
~Mr. Wise has been presented to
the ImperisE Court of BruziI, and is now duly
installed as Minister Plenipotentiary Of the Uni

since q description OF he reception by the En-
peror and hhs Court. He was accompanied by
Mr. Walsh, the Secretary oil Legation, and some
naval officers, all dressed ia iull uniform
swords, cooked hats, &c. They were driven TO
the palace in a splendid baTouche and four; on
arriving at the palace. they were bowed into an
ente-roOm--soon after which they were conduc-
ted 10 the door OF the reception room, where the
Emperor and some OF his principal officers were
Ia waiting TO receive them. On entering the
door they stopped and made q low bow, then
walked forward 10 about the center of the room
stopped and made another low bow they then
proceeded TO near the foot OF the throne, wheTe
they stopped and made another low bow. Mr.
Wise theu made a speech to The Emperor, a copy
OF which had been previously given to the En-
peroE's prime min lister. in order that his Majesty
being too mech OF a heather TO understand En-
lglish. might be duly informed OF what @as about

words, expressing the great satisfaction, &c
which these friendly assurances Of the UniieC
States had afforded him. Our Minister and hi
attendants, after another low bow at the foo; o
the throne, commenced their retreat. The room
was from eighty to one hundred feet in length
and this distance was tc be traveTsed backward

made another low bow to the throne. They thel
recommended their retreat. Mr.. Walsh, having
