American and Russian negotiations
With China.

The London Times grumbles at the adj
vantage obtained by the United States and
Russia, without fighting, in the negotiations
with the Chinese. Ii says:
The Russian and the American, whose
position was so little dignifed in the war
like transactions have received some reward
for their Ofiicious zeal in doing the part of
go-between. The Russian, ANONYMOUSLY
expelled from the mouth of the Peiho when
he went there in a single steamer, and the
American, so cruelty snubbed by Ych when
he made tender of his sympathy, go up in
the wake of an English and French fleet
and are admitted to curry favor by convey
ing mandarins and messages. Owing the
toleration of their presence entirely 10 our
force, they receive a treaty as the guerdon
of their rather mental offices What the
amount OF these ready concessions is, we
are not told. II does not much NATTER fol
England and France united are too. strong to
allow any meditators to cross their path
But the Russian, though so complacent in
his powerless little steamer in the Peiho
has himself been roaring tiger in the
North. 1t seems that, npon some day in the
month of May, which is singularly lef,

pressed with any of the intrusive cooper
alton with which Count Putitatin now en-
cumbers Lord Elgin, settled a somewhat i'm
portant negotiation with the Court of Pekin.
Previously to this treaty the frontier-line
between Chinese Mongolia and Siberia had
been a chain of high mountains, marked
on the maps as Jablonnoi mountains, nearly
500 miles to the north of the most Southern
bend of the Amoor river. By means Of
some military operations which have not ob-
tanned much publicity in Europe, and are
known only by passages IN Pekln gazettes
which speak Of the fabrication OF arms and
gunpowder TO resist the incursons OF bar
barians into Mongolia, the Russians have
occupied all that intervening territory. 1t
in extent about double the size of the British
Islands, and as it is watered by several
streams which come down from those once
frontier hills and fail as tributaries into the
Amoor, il is probably capable OF cultivation.
Ii is, as We know. not destitute OF cities, but
we must confess that cur information rs TO
its exact importance for habitatiOn, and as
basis for further encroachment, is not salts
factory perhaps the Geographical Society
can afford US some reliable facts upon this
rather interesting point. But, whatever
may be the value OF this huge slice OF Chi
! nese Mongolia, il has been conquered by
force and ceded 10y treaty. Russia, therefore,
is now securely placed upon navigable river
at about the same distance from Pekin as
I Pekin is from Canton. If, in addition 10
this, she has now obtained the privilege of
/ free transit for her subjects and agents

tard its dissolution. is Il question We do not

ment and Russian diplomacy in those distant
regions. Ii is evident that if Russia should

ES,Jn The Hon. \. G.. Brown, Senator
from Mississippi accepted a complimentary
dinner the otner day, and of course made a
speech. Being a Southern man, he is at
liberty to express his opinion freely regard
ing Senator Douglas, as liberty Northern
oilice-holders are not permitted to copy.
he said OF Douglas
lie is q more honest, more consistent,
more the friend of the constitution and the
rights of the States, and a better Democrat
than nine-tenths of those in the free States
who abuse him. lie is a giant in intellect,
giant in WILL giant in eloquence, giant
in everything that make UP the characters
tics OF great man, and | hope ne may
thrash Abolition Lincoln out OF his boots.

Democracy with the Democratic part
Jeff out.

They tell a good story ON an Iowa hotel
keeper, that aptly illustrates Judge Niblacks
democracy. \ traveller, the story goes,
was riding slowly along, near the close OF
the day, when he discovered projecting from
the cabin, a shingle, on which was written
in charcoal the letters, "lIotel.' Riding up,
he called to the landlord, when the follow
ing conversation enSucd
LaHdlord-''Will you ave yer horse put
up?7
Troseier--"If If you please; put him in the
the stable and give him few oats.
L." Very sorry, Mister but were out o
oats
r." \ little corn will answer, them
L.-"GUt me agin, stranger, the corn is
all gone too
T-"Wcll, give him plenty of lay, with
straw for his bed
L." Sorry, but amt got neither hay nor
straw but kin hitch yer horse to one of
the trees yondcr."
T-"Take him along, and let me have
some supper
L.-"WhatTl yc have, stranger?''
T-"lIam and eggs; with hot bread and
hot coffee
L." We don't keep any ofyour nice fix

r." Well, then, let me have Bit OF cold
meat, with cake and cup OF tea
L." Can't make the rifle, stranger; we
don't keep city vegetables.
r." Hang it, give me bel then, and
let me 90 to sleep.
l." Keep cool, squire, we don't keep
beds here
T." No, you don't keep beds here, nor

RSP Large bodies of ice have been OBJ
served in the Atlantic ocean recently. One
was enormous in size, being two hundred
feet high and four hundred feet long. At
this season Of the year ice is seldom seen by
voyagers, and the probability is, the summer
within the Arctic zone has been unusually
powerful in setting free the mountains OF
ice in that region.

Ry~ 4 gentleman direct from Fort Kear-
ney, Nebraska, says that large herd of
buffalo, numbering several hundred thous-
and, was in that neighborhood, covering the
prairie for miles. The officers and soldiers
of the fort were having fine time hunting
and slaughtering the lordy bison. This is
the erst time for many years that buffalo in
large numbers have approached so near the
haunts of civilization. 1t is supposed that
they have been driven in by large hunting
parties of Indians.
