CHOLERA MoRBUs AND OTHER SUMNER
CoMPLAINTs.-Dr. J. E. Snodgrass, of New
York, excellent authority, end who speaks
from experience as well as observation, re-
commeuds for these distressing and now
very common complaints, The free use o
small pieces OF ice swallowed whole. Ice.
wafer, he says, is objectionable as well as
allowing the ice to dissolve in the mouth
He calls his remedy the Ice-piI, and as i. is
so simple il should be tried. He says the
fire. sensation, when the ice reaches the
stomach, may be strange, and even alarming
but tina, there is no danger from it.

BALTIMORE, July 6, 1876

BALTIMORE, July 3, 1858.
GRAIN.-New Wheat is beginning to come in
pretty freely. About 7 900 bushels MARYLAND and
North Carolina offered on 'change this morning,
and mostly sold at 05 81 OF for red, to 10 a
81 Is per bushel for white. We quote old red
Wheat at 81 90 a 81 05, white do. OS 81 IL
per bushel. About 5000 bushels Corn offered
and mostly sold at 81 SIS cents for mixed, white
Corn 81 SO cents, and yellow 60 a 81 cents per
busheI.
ToBAcco.-The receipts Of Maryland Tobacco
have fallen off considerably this week. This, to-
gether with the decline in the rate of freights tc
Bremen, and the hitherto impossbIity Of filling
the orders already received, has caused an in:
creased anxiety to buy on the part Of shippers
and holders have been able to ase slight ad
vance, particularly on the common qualities, Of a
bout % cents per 100 lbs. All the Maryland To-
bacco unrestricted in price has been taken by
shippers, SO that there is little none now in the
hands Of agents. We are sorry to find that the
prospects of the coming crop are any thing but
hattering now. Should the balance of the season
prove favorable the planters may yet realise a
toerably fair crop, as to quantity, but with very
little Of the finer qualities. But if the present dry
weather continues much longer, the result will be
a small yield and that of very common descrIp,
tions. We quote:
middling S5.25a5.5 SO good to fair middling S5.75
ass; and fine S6.25aS, according to quality.
The receipts from the upper counties of Mary
land have fallen off, but the demand is still active
and all that reaches the market sells readily.
The scarcity of Maryland Tobacco has caused
increased activity in Ohio, and the sales this week
comprise upwards of 1000 hhds.-sweeping the
market almost entirely of reds and colory, and
leaving some fine qualities only on hand. The
sales show an advance of about 25 cents for the
common qualities. The stock Of Kentucky is now
greatly reduced, and holders demand higher price:
owing to an advance in New York and New Or
leans.

CHINESE CooLiEs.-The New York
San is not over sanguine that Chinese labor
is going to be successful, in the Yves, Inds
Islands, as some seem TO think. The Edi-
tor has information regarding the habits and
temper Of these singular people, which, il
true, goes far TO raise doubts of Chinese Ia.
bor They are represented as indlsposed
to bear severe or long continued toll, fond
Of repose, gossiping, relaxation, flful in
their temper, requiring psien, and judicous
management, and dangerous in The extreme,
when reused to resistance, knowing no re-
s'rain,. and placing no value on human life
The Sun continues
1.-The Chinese repugnance to negro is
described as something unconquerabIe. e.
'Hik Queilsz'-a black deviI'-is the wors
form of opprobrious abuse in Chinamsn's
mouth, and there would be strong preju.
dice to overcome in reconcIling them to live
and work with the blacks in Jamaica and
Cuba. The great difficulty TO successful
Chinese emigration or colonization would
therefore seem to be The getting Of wives for
them. What change the revolution now in
progress in China may work on the public
Isen.imen! on the subject Of female emigra-
ton we canno, anticipate, bu, i, is easy TO
comprehend that until The minds and the
ieet of The Chinese women are emancipa,ed
from their hereditary bondage, the prospect
of improving any country by all impor's
ton Of unmarried and slrange-notioned Chi
nemen canno, be very encouraging" IL

of this month to send Delegates to a County Con-
vention, at Port Tobacco, on the Goth of JULY for
the purpose of electing Delegates to a Congress
sional Convention, at Dladensburg, on the Sd of

We have also noticed the recommendation of
the Wing members of the Legislature, that there
should be a Convention in Baltimore on the LIST of
September to consider upon the course to be pur-
sued by the party at the election of State officers
in November next.
Considering the season of the year, and that
every person in this county will be busily engag-
ed in their harvest on the 30th, we suggest that
the Primary Meetings be postponed to the 9th of
July, and that those meetings then to be held, in
struct their Delegates to the Convention to be held
at Port Tobacco on the Goth of July, to nominate
candidates for the next State Legislature and
other county officers, if the Convention and the
Wing party of the county deem it proper and adj
Thus will one Primary Meeting and one County
Convention serve all the purposes of the party,
without calling us unnecessarily from our business.
