Opium Smoking in China.

In letter from Canton, dated September .,
1853, Bayard Taylor gives the following ac'
count of what he saw and experienced in the
way of opium smoking:
In spite of the penalties attached to it by
Chinese law, the smoking Of opium is scarcely
a concealed practice at present have seen
it carried on in open shops in Shanghae, where
there are some streets which are never tree
from the sickening smell. 1t had always been
nv intention to make trial of the practice, in
order to learn its effects by personal experience,
and being now ON the eve of leaving China, l
applied to gentleman residing here, to put
me in the way of enjoying pipe or two. He
was we'll acquainted with Chinaman who is
addicted to the practice, and by an agreement
with him, took me to his house last evening"
We were ushered into long room, with d.
van, or platform about three feet high, at the
further end. Several Cinnamon were in the
room, and zone stretched out on the platform,
was preparing his pipe at a lamp. The host in,
vited me to stretch myself opposite to him, and
place my head upon one of those cane head
stools which serve the Chinese in lieu OF pill
lows.
The opium pipe is bamboo stick, about
two feet long. having n small drum inserted
near the end, with an aperture in its centre

MORE RoMANcE.-Pierre Bertrand, on Sat-
nrday, before Recorder Fillieul, made oath to
the effect that about eight years ago he bound
his daughter, Marie Bertrand, then aged about
ten years, as an apprentice to man named
Tellot, who resides on Claiborne street, the ap,,
premiership to expire when the girl attained
the age Of fifteen. Affiant then left the city,
and about fifteen months ago returned, and
when he inquired about his daughter was told
by Telot that he had placed her in convent.
He, however, refused to tell the name of the
convent IN which the girl had been placed, and
all of atlantis endeavors olearn anything fur
ther concerning his daughter proved wholly
unavailing. Business theii compelled afiaant
to leave the city, and recently having returned
again and inquired Of TelIot concerning his
cIld's disappearance, he could obtain no salts

EVERYWHERE TIE SAME.--The evils result
ing from the liquor traflic--misery, insecurity
to property and life, pauperism, crime, the loss
of health, position, hope, sef:respect, every
thing which man can prize--are not confined
to any particular latitude, but are found, as
the inevitable fruits of the traffic wherever it
exists. We have been impressed with this
truth while reading the testimony recently
given before Committee of the British Par
lament, appointed to inquire into the operation
of the Beer Shop Act. Among others, d.
Gladstone Esq, (brother of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer) was summoned before the
Committee. In tho course of his examination,
he expressed his confidence that the police
force now required for Liverpool, (9OO) might
safely be reduced one.half, if it were not for
the existence of the licensed public houses and
beer shops, and that they would not at this
moment have been under the necessity Of erect
ing new gaol, at a cost Of 100000, (half a
million of dollars) from the borough funds,
were it not for the same cause" There is
whole volume of argument in these simple
facts, and if they do not carry conviction to
every mind, Of the absurdty and injustice of
the license system, it must he because either
prejudice, ignorance, or appetite, or perhaps all
combined, are not easily overcome by truth
and reason. But the light grows broader and
brighter, with the birth of each successive day,
and ignorance cannot long be urged as an ex.
cuse for official fatuity.

Assuming that the number Of places assigned
to each election district, had some respect, not
1ly to amount but to helocality of population,
It will be interesting We doubt not to many
readers, in each, to compare the present with
the past and to trace down the radiation and
expansion of population from the points which
were thus selected as important fifty years
ago. :,
Let us take another view. Attached to the
report to which we have referred for the par
tculars given above, we find resolution to
this effect: es
"That notice be given in the State Gazette,
at Columbia, and in one of the Gazettes. at
Charleston, of the time, places, and purposes
of the election"
We have not at hand the means of ascertain
ing whether at the date of this report-Dec.
1S03-there was no paper in the State out OF
these places mentioned. Charleston then had
three Journals and Columbia one, and even
had others existed in different points the faci-
ties of transmission would have restricted no.
tiication, by the press, in. great part to these
places. When we look around now and see
tue number of news journals alone--excusive
of religious aud UNCONVENTIONAL organs-and
consider the amount of support given by our
people to publications issued beyond our limits,
we see another striking indication Of progress.
We question much whether, under the same
conditions of sparseness OF population, post
office accommodations, expense, &C., popula-
ton can be found that furnishes more readers to
the periodical press.
In this matter as in others, we are too much
disposed to overlook what is around US, and to
take for grated that whatever is frequently
asserted must be true, 4. e., that we are and
must be behind hand in any comparison. The
press, which chronicles all things, often over
looks its own exploits and triumPhs. Cannot
our Carolina press become photographed in
some respect and relate its own experience
In other words, might not important and in
teresting additions be made to our State histo.
rygf each District. j ournal now extant, would
furnish full and authentic narrative of the es.
tabishment and location Of the press in its
section Land marks might thus be established
SO that fifty years hence the retrospective Oh.
server of the progress Of the State would not
meet the difficulties that now besct one who
tries to see how matters stood fifty years
ago."

Drunkenness and Education.

At meeting Of the Church OF England
Education Society, recently held in the city OF
Manchester, the Rev. Hugh Stowell spoke of
the antagonism of the drinking customs of his
country with its mental culture and moral ad-
vancement, in manner that might well star.
tie some of the conservative influences of " the
establishment" But such truths are needed
to educate the English mind up to the righteous
requirements of prohibition, and we hail their
utterance, before such a body. rs cheering
indication of progress in the right quarter
They may be more needed there than here, but
they are adapted to every locality that is cursed
by the liquor traffic. Said he: :,
However we may extend our educational
machinery, am satisfied we can never keep
pace with the drinking machinery that is dis,
gracing and degrading this country. 1t is all
nonsense to talk about intellectual culture;
and places of amusement, and exhibitions, aud
tea gardens, and places Of that kind counter
acting the drunken usages of this country. 80
long as this country has an immense class OF IN
dividuals who get their bread by naanayaefu'
ring drunkenness, and so long as an immense
proportion of the capital of this country is
staked upon the increased drunkenness OF the
country, so long will it be impossible to ele.
vate the masses of this country. They may
give them education, and churches, and every
moral and religious machinery, and may multi
ply intellectual institutions, mechanics Instltu-
tons, athenanms, and lyceums, and cheap pub
lications, but there will still be mighty mass
of drunkenness throughout the country, dis
graciug it before God and man, filling prisons,
lunatic asylums, work. houses, and all recepta-
cles of crime and misery. We must put
stopto beer.houses altogether, and putrestraints
upon our dram.shops and public-houses, such
as other countries were doing. America is
leaving US far behind in this matter; the daugh.
ter is putting the mother far behind in the
race"
