CHINESE MODE OF TREATING CHOLERA
A Chinese missionary writes to the Ciyilta
Cattolica of July 18th:

the peculiar blackness of the veins there, he
remarked that unless l applied a remedy

BETRAYAL AND REvENGE.-A man named
Shehan was killed few days since in Mem
phis, Tenn, by young woman named Mo-
riarty. 1t appears that the perpetrator of
this rash and bloody deed had been betrayed
by the deceased and abandoned. To all her
appeals for the justice of marriage he turned
deaf ear. Maddened by his perfidy, she
seized and stabbed him twice, killing him
instantly.
Il Speaking of the rythm of Tenny-
sons Maud, the New York Mirror makes

three hundred lines of such measure aloud,

AMERICAN ARTICLES AT THE FRENCH Ex-
posIrIoN.-M. Jules Lecompte writes to the
Independence Beige review of the various
schools of painting represented at the
Worlds Fair at Paris. Hereis what he says
of our countrymen:
"America does not play very large part
in the fine arts. The Americans do not in
vent-they copy. Their most skillful pain
ter appears to us to be Mr.. Healey of Bos-
ton. His franklin before Louis XVI recalls
Laurence with good deal of dexterity, and
an absence of originality. Mr.. Hunt also of
Boston, has studied under Couture. Mr..
Walcot is a Fleming, though from Cincinnati.
The Viems Of The Niagara, by Mr.. Cranch, and
those of the Hudson, by Mr.. Gignoux, alone
have local character which gives little in
dividually to American art. The rest is all
of the countries where the young painters
have been to study"

LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER MINES. - From
reliable sources we learn that the production
of copper this season will be about 5000
tons, mine weight, amounting to say $500
tons of ingot copper, being fully one-seventh
of the entire product of the world. The
product of another year will, in all probable
ity, lie much greater than that of the pres
ent. The value of copper for the present
year will be about $l,750,0OO. Another
year it will probably reach $2,5OO,OO0.

not less than 1000 acres of Catawba vines
in cultivation in the vicinity of Cincinnati, of

that, by the average production of the last
few years, this area will yield 100000 gallons
annually, and, in a very short time must be
greatly increased. "Already dry and spark

CHrLDRDn NOT GAY IN PARIs.-Sergeant
Talfourd the eminent English Lawyer and
playwriter. says
Every thing is gay in Paris but child
hood. Old age is gay-pleasantly so, ev-
en- when fantastcaly so-and death itself
is tricked out in garlands, and turned to
favor and to prettiness." Why then are
the children so joyless? 1t cannot be that
they are too harshly restrained or ruled by
fear; for cruel discipline is no part of
the French character, or the French edu-
cational practice; on the contrary,a "a French
boy soon becomes his own master, and
studies or lounges as he pleases. Is it
not that there are no fre-sides-no homes?
1t seems fine independent thing for
a Partisan shopkeeper to dispense with the
plague of domestic servants-take, every
day. the freedom OF the restaurant and
cafe-and when he shuts up his shop,
leave it to take care of itself, while he
lounges, or dances, or smokes, or reads
the journal, or does all these in some pub
lie garden--or, better than ALL goes TO the
play But the pleasures and comforts of
children are of home growth, and require
home shelter They are here only sad,
wearied. wondering spectators of the ga
tiles of their parents, which are associated
with coquetry, gallantry, and feelings akin
to these, in which they do not participate;
and though some amends are made by an
initiation into their essences, and earlier
emulation of their symbols, still children,
as children, have no food for their affec-
tions in the whirling kaleidoscope which
dazzIes them. You would not find such
set of care worn, pale, unhappy faces in
any charity schools in England, as you
may mark in a throng of wandering, dissi-
Ipated boys in the garden of the Tuilleries.

THE ELECTION.

In this county matters passed offas qui-
etly as at any former period, but we are
sorry to own that the American Party AL
LOWED herself to be defeated by here ertain-
ties of success, by majorities ranging from
100 to 900 votes. We regret this, but
our party can blame no one but them
selves. True, we had few TRAIToRs to
the cause Of Freedom, but in the main, the
lack of energy on the part of many of our
country friends lost us some 500 votes by
absence from the polls. We are beat, but
not conquered. Let us pick our flints and
try itagain! We shall have more to say
on this subject in another number.

Hon. Edward Everett, In his eulogy up
on Abbott Lawrence, remarked:
"His business life extended over two or
three of these terrible convulsions which
shake the pillars of the commercial world,
but they distributed in no degree the solid
foundation of his prosperity, He built up
on the adamantine basis of probity; beyond
reproach, beyond suspicion. His life gave
lofty meaning to the familiar lines, and
you felt, in his presence, that
"An honest man is the noblest work of God"
Far from being ashamed OF his humble
beginnings, he was proud of them, as the
merchant princes of Florence, at the height
Of their power, and when they were giving
the law to Italy, preserved upon their pal
aces the cranes by which bales of merchan-
disc were raised TO their atics. A young
gentleman told me yesterday, at Newport,
that two or three months ago, Mr.. Law
renee took from his Waiseoat pocket, and
exhibited in his presence, pair of blunt
scissors, which had served him for daily
use at the humble commencement of his
business life. AS for his personal integri-
ty, Mr.. Chairman, to which you alluded, ]
ampersuaded that if the dome of the State
House, which tours over his residence in
Park street, had been coined into diam,
ond, and laid At his feet as the bribe of 9
dishonest transaction, he would have spur
ned it like the dust he trod on. His prom
ise was a sacrament"

THE FRUIT TRADE.

Some thirty vessels are engaged in the
fruit trade between New York and the
West Indies. A much larger trade in
fruits is carried on with ports in the Med
iterranean, which supply annually some
thing like seventy or eighty cargoes-prin-
cipally oranges. The west Indian importa-
tions last year IRE estimated as fol-
lows:-
Seventy-fve thousand punches of ba-
nanas from Baracoa, sold here at from ST.
25 to 80 per bunch-$93,750 to 49,
500; 100000 Baracoa cocoa-nuts sold
at from S95 to $50 per hundrod--$5oo,-

from Matanzas and Havana averaging 8o,-
600 dozen per cargo, sold at from SO TO

10000 dozen st. Bart pines, sold at from
81, SO to SO per l00-$18,o00 to $l9, 900;
100000 dozen from the Bahama Islands
$4,000 to 10000; 10 cargoes of Havan-
M oranges, averaging $4,000, at cents
each-$lo, 500, have been received thus
far the present season, the crop being more
abundant than at any time during the last
fifteen years. West Indian oranges ar.
rive in October, and are most abundant in
January and February. Bananas and
pineapples begin to arrive about the first o.
April, and are most plentiful during the
succeeding three months. Cocoa-nuts ar
rive all the year round. Mediterraneau
oranges, which come in boxes, and are
most extensively shipped to different part
Of the United States, begin to be received
in January, but not extensively until Apri
or May.
The above list comprises but few of the
foreign fruits imported these only
from the West Indies. A few minutes

THE BLOOM OF AeE.-A good woman

THE BLOOM OF AeE,--A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass over
her head, and if benevolence and virtue
dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as
when the spring of life first opened to her
view. When we look upon good wo-
man, We never think of her age; she looks
rs charming as when the rose of youth
first bloomed on her cheek. That rose has
not faded yet; it will never fade. In her
neighborhood, she is the friend and bene-
factor. Who does no: respect and love
the woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy? We repeat.
such woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and
active in humble deeds Of mercy and be-
nevolence. If the young lady desires to
retain the bloom and beauty of youth, let
her not yield to the sway of fashion and
folly; let her love truth and virtue. and to
the close OF life she will retain those feel
ings which now mako life appear garden
of sweets--ever fresh and ever new.
