"I WISH HAD CAPITAL"

This was the exclamation of stout, hearty
but lazy young man, the other day.
Now, suppose you had capital-what would you
do with 1t! Let me tell you, you have capital
Haven't you got hands and feet, and body and
muscles, and bone and brains, and don't you call
them capital? Oh! but they are not money say
you. But they are more than money. If you
will use them they will make money, and nobody
can take them from you. Don't you know how to
use them? IF you don't it is time you were learn
ing. Take hold of the first plough, or hoe or
jack plane, or broad axe that you can find, and go
to work Your capital will soon yield you large
interest. Aye, but there's the rub, you don't
want to work you want money credit that you
may play the gentleman and speculate, and end by
playing the vagabond; or you want plantation of
negroes that you may hire an overseer to attend
to them while you about the country and
dissipate and get in debt; or you want to marry
some very rich GIRL who may be foolish enough to
take you for your fine clothes and good looks, that
she may support you.
Shame upon you young man! Go to work with
the capital you have you'll soon make interest up
on it, and with it to give you as much money as
you want, and make you feel qike man. IF
you can't make money upon what capital you
have, you couldn't make It if you had million of
dollars in money. IF you don't know how to use
bone, muscles and brains, you would not know how
to use gold. If you let the capital you have lie
idle and waste and rust out, it would be the very
same thing with you if you had gold; you would
only know how to waste
Then don't stand about like great helpless
child, waiting for some body come and feed you,
but go to work Take the first work you can find,
matter what it is, that you be sure to do it like
Jim Gray did his drumming-we Yes, man
age the capital you already have; you will soon
have plenty more to manage; if you can't or won't
manage the capital God has given you. you will
never have any more to manage. Do you hear?

ToRTURING OF CHINEsE.-We referred in our
last to the coolie trade at Annoy; it appears from
the following that the Chinese authorities have
equaled in their brutal punishments the famous
Yeh himself. Itappears that two American vessels
have been most conspicuous in procuring coolies,
and the crueties narrated are principally in
connection with them. A Chinese femaly. aged
Is years, had been sent to the village of Tong Wha,
there to be crucifed, while on the cross to have
her breasts cut off and publicly skinned alive for
having Kidnapped and sold coolies to foreign vessels
Two Cinnamon have had their ances burnt, hung
for three days by their toes, and received 1,0G0
cuts with the bamboo during that time; and lastly
decaptated and their hearts cut out and carried
salvers to their parents and families. Five other
Chinese, one woman, are under sentence of torture
and death for dealing in coolies. A Chinaman
was crucifed suspicion of having assisted to
procure coolies for foreign vessels-Lonaon and
China Herald.

CoNGREss.-In the Senate ON the 18th, Mr.
Hunter reported the Tariff and Loan bill. The
Legislative aud Executive Appropriation bill was
discussed. Mr. Hunter wished to amend it by au-
thorizing the issue of $4,000, 600 OF Treasury
notes during the recess of Congress. On the civil
bin there was long debate, the Democrats charg-
ing the Republicans with extravaganza, and otce
persa, An amendment, funding for five years the
S20,O00,0 900 loan, agreed to, ayes 20, noes 49,
The House considered the resolutions condemning
the Secretary of the Navy and President for cor
rupton in naval contracts, and distributing public
patronage
Mr. Bocock opposed them on the ground that the
House had no power to form itself into a tribunal
for the condemnation andinfiction of punishment on
ex parte evidence obtained during former Con-
gress. And besides, the evidence was insufficient
Messrs Sherman and Hatton expressed views
directly opposite to those of Mr. Bocock, who NOV
ed to lay the resolutions on the table. This was
negatived-ayes go, nays120.

THE JAPAN ESE
On their acay to New York.

BURLINGTON, ~ j., June 16, IL A. M-All
Burlington and large portion of the neighbor-
hood turned out to-day to witness the passage
throu gh the town of the special train containing
the japanese Ambassadors and tEcir suite. The
crowd cheered the strangers many of whom re-
sponded bv waving fans, &C., from the car-win-
dows.
AMBoY, J.-The special train containing
the japanese Embassy, arrived here at five min
utes after twelve o'clock, making the from
Camden in trife less than two hours
The fine steamboat Aida, chartered by the New
York Committee for the purpose, in waiting
here, having left New York at 10 O'Clock, bring
ing the Aldermen and Councilnen, and other
privileged persons. Several other steamers ac-
companied the Aida and will act as an escort back
to New YORK
Considerable time was spent in transferring the
japanese and their baggage from the cars to the
beat, and in interchanging salutations and civili-
ties The Philadelphia Committee formally trans
erred the guests of the nation to the Committee
of the New York authorities 1t was thirty-seven
minutes past twelve when the Aida got away from
the railway pier, and started for New York,
American and japanese flags flying, the band
playing and people cheering.
New YORK, June 16-Everything is given up
to Japan to-day, scarcelyanytl1ins having been
thought Of since noon, but the Japanese Embassy,
and their reception
Broadway, from Union Square to the Battery,
is of human beings, and there are nearly
equal crowds in the other streets through which
the procession is to pass. The Ambassadors and
the suite are land at the Battery and the route
of the procession is throu sh Battery place to
Broadway, through Broadway to Grand street,
through Grand street to the Bowery, through the
Bowery and Fourth avenue to and around Union
Square to Broadway, down Broadway to the Me-
tropolitan Hotel.
The military turnout is the largest and finest
ever seen here, the whole force amounting to nearly
six thousand men. 4 police force of one thou
sand men is employed to accompany the procession
and keep the streets clear from curb to curb.
The appearance of Broadway, with its enormous
crowd of people, and its hundreds of flags, Ameri-
can. japanese and those of other nations, is very
striking. All sorts of devices and decorations are
exhibited, Of them appropriate and others
quite the contrary.
The Metropolitan Hotel where the guests are to
be lodged, is profusely adorned within and with
out. it is the chief centre of attraction for the
multitude of people.
The scene at the Battery and in the Bay is ex-
citing beyond description. The approach Of the
Aida is announced oy salutes from Governors
Island from the Battery and from various vessels in
the harbor. Every vessel gay adorned with flags.
The weather is very hot and there is every ap-
pearance of coming rain.

THE JAPANESE AND THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
The japanese Embassy having, few days ago,
been presented with copies ofthe Bible, and invited
to attend public worship at the capitol, they have
replied through the United States Commissioner,
that but one religion is known and acknowledged
by the laws of Japan; that they forbidden in
any manner to take part in or be present at the
