The stream of immigration from China to Cal
ifornia seems to have fairly set in. The COM
munication is now established by regular lines
of sailing vessels, and every day it increases in
importance. Sixteen vessels have recently left
Canton for San Francisco, all with passengers.
One of them brought 500 Chinese. Probably a
more steady and Industrious class of immigrants
have never arrived there.

nesday, says:
We have just conversed with gentleman
who visited Mr.. Clay in his sick room last eve-
ming, and we are gratifed in being able to state
on the best authority, that the flying accounts
we have recently seen of his illness are greatly
exaggerated He is quite as well as he was two
months ago, but not so well as few weeks
since. He is cheerful and composed, but is con-
sideraby annoyed at these false rumors, sent off
on the lightnings pace, of his desperate illness.
As the weather is now likely to become clear
and settled, it is not at all impossible that the
voice of Mr. Clay may be heard once more in the
halls of the Senate.

The investigation into the charge Of fraud
made by large number of persons against Geo.
T.. Hamilton O. Co., whom they state sold them
spurious passage tickets to California, by way
of the Isthmus, was concluded on Saturday.
Several witnesses were examined, but Justice
Osborne, who conducted the case, considering
that the charges were groundless or that the tes-
tmony was insufficient to warrant him in detan-
ing the accused parties for trial, ordered their
liberation from custody, and decided, that there
were no legal grounds for OBTAINING either of
the above parties, owing to the representations
being all in future and no facts existing to sus-
tain. charge of false pretences. Meanwhile,
the poor men who have been defrauded are still
in the city, waiting the action of the parties from
whom they purchased the tickets.

The population of Massachusetts, says the
Boston Advertiser, MS shown by the census of
1920, was 523,2S7, the increase in the proceed
ing ten years having been 5l,247, or little over
ten per cent The increase in thirty years from
the above date to 1920, was 470,984, or about
90 per cent, which is equal TO about "a per cent,
in each ten years. There were in 1920, no in
corporated cities in the State. Ten towns then
existing, with one town founded about that time
and Incorporated as a town in 1926, have since
been organized with the forms of city govern
ment. Each of these cities has population en-
ceeding 10000, though two of them at the date
of the census of 1850 had less. All these cities
with two exceptions, have within this period in
creased in their population, much more rapidly
than the State at large. This has arisen from
the great increase of manufacturing operations
which have concentrated in or near the principal
towns.

warmest thanks to Capt HALL and crew of the

responded to a call for physician at an hour on
Wednesday last, when all on board had sought in
sleep respite to the labors of the day. To the
kindness of many citizens who volunteered their
services in carrying fuel aboard the steamer to
hasten her laudable mission, we return you the
tenderest emotions of gratitude; the mantle of
night yelled many of your faces but that vigorous
impulse of your sympathy, together with other
kind offerings clustering the sick couch of an af.
fectionate Father have touched chords whose vi.

verdict Of guilty. Since then we learn that
Judge MARTIN has sentenced the prisoner to
fifteen years Mt hard labor in the State Prison
However unexpected this result is to the pris-
oner and his friends, it is doubtless true that
justice was sought, and finally meeted out in
deserving manner. This case has been upon
trial for several weeks, and no efforts have been
spared in making it fair and impartial trial
too much credit can not be awarded to those
who have acted officially during this long and
tiresome investigation. The Sheriff. SNYDER,
who has ever been necessarily on the watch, rs
we'll as his assistants, was awarded the duty of
accompanying the prisoner to his newly appoin.
ted place of abode. Certain it is, the means
that were Instituted to bring the perpetrator of
so many crimes to justice, has been fully ac-
complished, and one of our Oldest and would
be most influential citizens sent to home of
l5years duration, there to commence at hard la
Dor, which, heretofore, he has been unaccustom-
ed to. Now let us continue to rcnovate our
country, and soon the whole will present n
healthy appearance-the price of property will
advance and be sought after by our friends, who
can come and live among us without fear or

OTTo GoLDsCHMIDT.-The union by marriage
of this young gentleman, to the most gifted sing
er of her age, if not her race, lends an interest
to the following passage about his musical tai
ent which we find in D1ighS Musical Times,
n Boston weekly, by the way of rare merit:
1t has been our privilege to hear him Gold
schmidD, play much in private; and never have
we heard the very spirit and characteristic of the
STYLES of Beethoven and Mendelssohn and Chop
in so feeingly and truly reproduced as under
his hands You could hardly mention Sonata
of the first, n Capricco of the second, or Not
turne or Mazourka Of the third, which was not
living in his memory and did not flow readily TO
his fingers He has not all the strength and un-
failing energy of Jaell he is perhaps more SUBJ
ect to the intermittent spells of inspiration; but
his power grows and swells with the tide Of the
music, and his fine, clean, intimate tracing Of all
the delicate intrcaces and Torture of the CON-
position we never knew surpassed.
1t is perhaps not know to many here, that
young Goldschmidt enjoyed the tuition and most
flattering appreciation of such masters as only
pupils of genius ever can command. He has
studied with Mendelsshon, with Chopin, with
Clara Wick (now Madam Schumann), and with
Ferdinand Hiler-possibly we do not remem-
Der rightly about this last name. His trio con-
certs in his native Hamburger were of the choic-
est classic character, and sought by people of
the finest taste and culture. In some of these
his present lady sang for him,-a distinction,
which scarcely another young pianist, giving
concerts on his own account, could have aspired
to.
Modest small in stature, overshadowed in the
Lind concerts by the greater light, he did not
pass for what he was, among the semi-muscal
and would-be critics. But the great Swede
knew we'll where her heart went, and all real
friends of Art must feel certain thrill of pleas
ure in an event so rare and so refreshing in this
calculating world, as real life.union between
taCo artists.

EMANCIPATION IN JAMAIcA.--We lind in late
number of the Anti Slavery Reporter, an inter-
esting letter from Rev. John Clark, giving an
account Of the progress made by the emancipa-
ted negroes in Jamaica Mr.. Clark, a clergyman
residing among them, was led by circumstances,
subsequent to the emancipation, to buy 100 acres
of land, divide it up into about 100 village lots,
and have cottages built on it, so that 100 fami-
lies became the possessors of their own houses
and gardens, at a cheap rate; another house,
which, with the land around it, constituted the
profit of the transaction, was made village prop
erty, and converted into School-house. A
Chapel and Mission house have since been built
there. The village, called Sturgetown, now con-
tains a population of Sal PERSONS with ! IL hou-
SEES. In the gardens, besides kitchen vegetables,
pimento, sugar cane, bananas, &C., are raised
The moral condition of the people Mr. Clark
speaks of in encouraging terms. He afterward
bought 600 acres in another place, and founded
village called Clarksonvle consisting of 100
lots. Other villages have been established by
others, and the system has been adopted in all
parts of the island. At least two-thirds of the
people own their own houses and land, and all
whose property is assessed at f6, and upward
have the right of voting for members OF the AS
sembly. The results of the system are good
The villagers have become more Industrious,
provident, frugal, and ambitious of respectable
social position. "The plan" says another cler-
gyman "has been great blessing to the coun-
try" Half the coffee and much of the pimento
exported from the island is produced by the vii
layers. Mr.. Clark appeals TO the philanthropic
to assist the people which so recently emerged
from bondage, in their efforts for the improve
ment of their material, mental, moral and reli-
gous condition. He says that their advance
ment thus far has been highly satisfactory, and
| that, were comparison to be made between
their present and their previous state, it would
be found that no people on earth ever made
greater progress in the same length of time.
