CHINESE VIEW OF THE WAR WITH EXC.
LAND.-A Canton Chinaman has recently
addressed q letter to o native friend in
California, commenting at length upou,re-
cent exciting events in that city. 1t bears
date the " Sd day of the 4th moon Of the
1th year Of the Emperor Kien Fung," q
short time after the sah-sam-hong (thirteen
foreign factories) was reduced to ashes.
The writer expresses regret Of that event,
but seems to think no other course was
possible 5,,, .l-,...t disco. .i.i.i.. 81
"Now the red-haired barbarians Eng.
lish) and other foreign devils (fan qui)
who come to our shores, add nothing "a
our benefit We supply them with tea
rhnbRrb, silks and many other valuable
commodities, while they in return bring u
nothing but opium. Our Central Empire
derives no profit from foreign commodities
and as for the opium, both they and We
are well aware of its evils. 1t is a vice
they have unjustly forced upon US, from
which they are unwilling to reform, and
though the conrt of Heaven (the Imperial
COurt) had treated men with great mild
ness, men from afar, yeti can no longel
Withstand their scorn and contempt, bul
must now deal to the English and otheI
law-breaking foreign devils, the retrIbutior
due them for past Offences. Our Centra
Empire, furnishing for many years, tea
sugar and other commodities to these un
grateful barbarians, will henceforth b'
closed against them, depriving them there
by Of the valuable products of our Empire
The writer adds that just retributioI
this tune awaits their old enemies, as tn
Emperor of Russia is about to join thei
cause, and with myrads Of warriors sup
press the rebellion Of their own people
and sweep the vagabond English barbari
ans OF the face Of the earth. Nevertheless
he advises his friend to remain in CalifoT
MIA. Fain also would he go to foreigI
countries, were it not for fear he shoul'
die, aud bis soul, then, " finding no rest
would suffer with hunger and cold Wills
wandering along the mountains Of strang
lands in search Of bis departed ancestors.

p9- II is computed that the number Of
cmlgrants from the New England state
alone to the Mississippi valley this season
will amount to one hundred thousand, and
that these will carry with them, on an
average, 500 each, IA low ,estimate1
making an aggregate Of $4,000, 600 III

nar The neglect Of agriculture is topic
of wcll-founded complaint We have too
many people engaged in trade. Our cities
and villages are growing too rapidly. Too
many of onr young men yield to the I'M
pulse of foolish pride and fancy that some
other pursuit is more respectable than the
cultivation Of the soil We caDnot look
for any substantial and permanent reaction,
till larger amounts Of capital and much
greater number Of energetic young men are
withdrawn from other pursuits and concen-
trated upon agriculture. The general de-
preston in commerce and manufactures at
The present time, and the active demand
and high prices Of almost all great agri-
cultural staples, offer an excellent opportu-
nifty for the profitable transfer Of large
amount Of capital and labor to the cultiva-
ton Of the soil.

The Three Fishermen.

There is pathos in the ballad-like simplici
ty of Mr.. Kingsley's poem:
"Tbrec fishers went sailing out into the west
Out into the west as the sun went down;
Each thought ON the woman who loved him
the best,
And the children stood watching them out OF
tha town;
For men must work, and women must weep,
And there's little TO earn, and many to Keep
Though the harhor bar be meaning:
Three wives sat upin the light house tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun
went down;
They looked at the squall, and they looked at
the shower,
And the night-rack came rattling up ragged
and brown!
But men must work and women must weep,
Though storms be sudden and waters deep,
And the barbor bar be moaning.
Three corpscs lay out on the shining sand,
I'M morning glemc as the tide went down,
And the women are weeping and wringng
their hands.
For those who will never come back to the
town,
For men must work, and women must weep,
And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep,
And good by to the bar and its moaning

DAMAGES FOR SEDucTIoN.-Rey. Jo-
sseph Barkley, formerly of Cadiz, and
doubtless we'll known by many persons in
this country, was mulctcd last week, at
the Conrt Of Common Pleas for Carroll
county, in the sum of st, 900 for scduc-
ton and breach of promise. Miss Sharpe,
the victim, belongs to highly respectable
lamily-is said to be young, intelligent
and beautiful. Rev. Barkley, is a 6ooyisl
looking piece OF ereation-a native of th.
''sod," who was never suspicioncd Q
modesty. The people of Carroll ar,
greatly incensed at the act ofthe Zee. gen
tlemam, and during the trial, fears wer,
entertained of his being mo5bed.-ac

Among the noteworthy incidents of the
Montreal steamer disaster was the saving
of her two children by Mrs. Bloomfield, !,
whose husband is in the employ of the
Grand Trunk Company at Toronto. She
held to rope with one hand, keeping the
dead of one child above water with the
other, and holding the other up by fast
ening her teeth i'll its dress. So heavy
was the load that two of her teeth gave
way and were lost, yet she still retained
her hold. At last boat came towards
her, and men were screaming all around
her to be taken aboard. She could not
scream, but a man seeing her situation.
brought the boat to her. telling them she
needed aid most. Then her strength
gave way at the prospect Of relief and
safety, and she came near drowning ere
she could be lifted into the boat. She is ;
slight, delicate woman.
Doing good is no idle enterprise J; il.

The Sugar Swindic.

The base trick of greedy spectators in
raising the price of sugar SO high as to
make it almost impossible for poor people
to use it, is not likely to be successful
much longer. The announcement that a
firm in New York had invested $780,
600 in sugar from Manila, on which
they would realize quarter OF mil
lion, vas followed by another to this
effect:-"Duripg four days Of last week,
no less than 54 vessels arrived in New
York with entire cargoes of sugar and mo-
lasses, and immense amounts are now
held on speculation, which sooner or later
must come into the market. In Port
land. this week, large amountSof sugar,
and 2500 hegheads of melasses have been
received. The markets in New York and
Boston are inactive. Buyers will not pay
the prices that holders demand, and the
inevitable consequence will be that spec
ulators will burn their fngers-the biters
will be bit. The facts of the sugar ques-
ton are simply these: last year there was
more sugar cane produced than was ever
known in any previous season; the pres
ent year the maple sugar crop has been
enormous-equa to one-fourth the entire
consumption of the country. It is admit
ted on all hands that the cane fields of
the south are laden with the precious and
abundant crop; the great sugar market of
the country are glutted. Buyers will not
come into the market and pay the price
demanded; tha trade is inactive; notes of
spectators are maturing:-the season is
and the new crop is coming
forward rapidly. Under these circum-
stances, the present exorbitant prices
mus: decline.-Bgf:. Rep.

THE REGULATORS IN INDIANA.-A TER
RIDLE Row IN PRospEcT.-The most in
tense excitement has prevailed at..Bloom-
ington during the whole Of the present
week. Inconsequence of the examination
of Coons and the two Morgans, charged
with the murder Of Mr.. Bingham. Some
three hundred "Regulators, and their
sympathizers have been in town all the
week. A counter organization, called
"Moderators," has been formed to oppose
the Regulators" numbering some two
hundred persons. They have, however,
the sympathies of much the larger por-
ton of the community. Both parties are
fully armed, and there are great fears ol
collision. Nearly all business in Bloom
ington has been suspended during the
week. The completely of three men n
der arrest in the killing of Mr.. Bingham
is not, we understand, disputed; but the
"Regulators" insist that they shall be ad
nittcd to bail, while the "Moderators" in
sist that no bail shall be taken. Brook.

hide, of excellent material, we'll made and
seasoned, lay its ominious length full be-

have had some curious reflections in re

self? We are quite puzzled to determine
