The CHINESE. -Bayard Taylor, the
well known traveller, thus speaks of the
morality of the Chinese
1t is my deliberate opinion that tho
Chinese are morally the most debased
people on the face Of the earth. Forms
of vice which, in other countries are
barely named, in China are so common
that they excite no comment among the
natives. They consider the surface level.
and below them are deeps on decps Of
depravity, so shocking and horrible that
their character cannot even be limited -
There are some dark shadows in human
nature which we naturally shrink from
penetrating, and made no attempt to
collect information, of this kind, but
there was enough in the things which /
could not avoid seeing and hearing
which are brought almost daily to tho
notice of every foreign resident--to in
spre me with powerful aversion to the
Chinese race Their touch is pollution,
and harsh, as the opinion may seem, jus :.
tice to our race demands that they should
not be allowed TO settle on our soil l."

PAINFUL RETRIBUTIoN, If TRUE.-The
Newport Spectator says there is young
man in town in Vermont who cannot
speak to his father. Previous to his
birth, difficulty arose between his mo-
ther and her husband, and for a consid-
cradle time she refused to speak to him.
The difficulty was subsequently, healed, the
child was born, and in due time began
. talk, but when sitting with his father
was invariably silent. 1t continued so
till it was five years old, when the father,
having exhausted his powers of persua-
sion, threatened it with punishment for
its stubbornness. When the punishment
was inflicted it elected nothing but sighs
and groans, which told but too plainly
that the little sufferer was vainly endea-
voring to speak. All who were present
united in this opinion-Thot 1t acos i'm
possible for him to speah to his father ;
and time proved their opinion to be cor
rect. At maturer age its efforts to
converse with its parent could only pro-
duce bitter signs and groanS.

CURE FOR HYDRopmoBIA. "A writer in
the National Intelligoncer says that spir-
its Of hartshorn is certain remedy for
the bite of mad dog. The wound, he
adds, should be constantly batbed with it,
and three or four doses, diluted, taken
inwardly during the day. The harts-
horn decomposes, chemically, the virus
insinuated into the wound, and immedi-
ately alters and destroys its deleterious-
ness. The writer, who resided in Brazil
for some time, first tried it for the bite
of scorpion, and found that it removed
pain and inflammation almost instantly
Subsequently he tried it for the bite Of
a rattlesnake with similar success. At
the suggestion of the writer, an old
friend and physician tried it in cases of
hydrophO5ia, and always with success.

FmMNEss. -Decision Of character is a
most valuable trait. The man is good
for nothing who can't say no. Washing.
ton was never known TO desert a cause he
had once embraced, or change an opinion
which, from full knowledge of facts he
had deliberately formed. In this respect
he was model. Very few attain 10 that
strength Of fxedness of purpose. II is
the weakness of most TO vacillate and
waver. We are daunted by difficulties
and all are overcome by temptation.
Hence it is noble spectacle to behold a
pastor patiently contending with discour-
agements, and an inebriate steadfastly
resisting the cravings Of his dcpraved
appetite.

The New YORK TmEs msapprchents the estimate
which the Uaioa places upon Ar. Stanton's efforts
upon the Kansas matter For instance the Times
opposes admission on the ground that the delegate
election of the 10Th of June was invalid in this that
large portion of the people were deprived of the
right OF voting. Mr.. Stanton refutes this position
conclusivey. He says that the persons who are al
legged TO have been DISTINGUISHED would have moth
ing to do with the election would have nothing to
do with the territorial government established by
Congress This is a material and controlling point,
because ii was the June election that returned the
delegates. If that election legal, the conven-
ton was legal. In order to invalidate the latter
body the republicans took the ground that the peo
pie of some nineteen counties had opportunity to
vote. Mr.. Stanton says it is due to frankness to
state that they would not vote Then (and we say
this to put ourselves right with Mr.. Stanton and the
Tmes Mr.. Stanton proceeds further to declare that
the population of the nineteen counties was very in
considerable and, of course, that the persons
tually registered were quite sufficient to overwhelm
and control the State if they should determine to
vote. But they would not vote Now, with this
little explanation, hope to be restored to favor
with Mr.. Stanton. We cannot afford to lose his tes-
timony.

The mass of the people in this part of the State will

Illinois have never been effected with abolition tenden-
