Legalizing the Expectation of Coolies
Labor for Cotton Lands.

A correspondent of the London Times
furnishes the following extract of letter
from Paris, dated the 3lst of December,
which purports to describe the views OF the
French Government as to the results to be
obtained from the clause of the treaty with
China legalzing the expectation of labor. 1t
is not known if the writer speaks from au-
thority, and if his extremely sanguine antic-
pations and differences are shared in official
quarters:
alt will be seen by the late advices from
China, that this Government, in their treaty
with the Chinese, have legalized the exporta-
ton of Coolies.
"This has been done, no doubt, in reference
to obtaining supply of labor for the cotton
lands of Algeria.
"The great immortality of the Chinese
adults heretofore imported has caused the
subject to receive a careful and earnest atten-
tion, and plan has been proposed to import
boys and girls brought out under the care of
priests and sisters Of charity, who, on re-
ceiving them in China will cleanse and clothe
them and begin Immediately religious and
secular education.
"On arriving in Algeria, and being dis
tribued among the planters, they will retain
their teachers, and be ready with their little
fingers to pick the cotton bowls as they rpen,
The cultivation of the land is to be effected
with steam-Elows and horse-hoes as in this
way an enormous area can be kept under
culture at a small expense. The yield of
cotton las in the United States) being limited
ouly by the number of pickers, cotton may
be thus grown at half the cost of the Ameri-
can, owing to the difference in the value of
land and slaves.
:" In the year 1855, i've bales of cotton
were brought to Paris from Algeria, of the
best quality, but the want of an organized
system of labor, similar to the slave system
of the States, caused the culture to be aban-
doned for time The great improvements
in agricultural machinery have now removed
this difficulty, in part, and the importation of
Coolie children will supply all that is required
to insure success at the present time.
The children are to be apprentced for
twenty years, and to be always under super
vision. When the picNing season is finished,
they are to be employed in raising their own
food, and in weaving aud making their cloth
ing. At the end of their apprenticeship they
can marry and become citizens, with an al
lotrnent of land, or return to China, as they
please.
Such, briefly, is the scheme, which will
no doubtIbe carried out in British Guinea and
the other cotton lands in her extended colo
nies. That there is not "A scarcity Of cotton
lands in the world, the application of the
steam-pow with the Coolie emigration will
soon prove. Within five years, France and
England will raise at least half the cotton
they use; prompted not only by the indie
pendence that this supply will give them,
they will be urged on to the work by the
great missionary enterprise which it will
inaugurnte."

TIRED.-Some editor or other says:

We are tired of hearing the girls say they
have "no time" to read Nacaulay and Milton
when they will sit up half the night to find
out whether the hero of red pepper novel
gets knocked on the head, or escapes from
the shipwreck with his lady-love and hen
bandboXes, on a board four inches square
We are tired of hearing women complain
that their husbands don't care so much for
them as they used to, when it is nothing on
earth but the sour bread and burned ham at
the breakfast table, and slovenly personal ap
pearance of wives after they are married,
that causes their neglect
We are tired listening to the outcry of
"hard times" from business men, who wonder
where on earth the "money slips TO-" when
part OF it is leaking in at the top of their
head, through costly Panama hat, and part
shut up in Il cigar cage in their coat pockets,
and part going down their throats in a
brandy smash"
We are tired of seeing women box THEN
baby's ears for making such racket with
their trumpets and drums, and then set the
! neighhorhood's nerves on edges with piano
practice and throat splitting bravuras.
We are tired of the men who chew tobac-
co in your face, and pull out their pocket
knives to trim their nails, while they are
talking with you.

dress in the style of sweet sixteen

MIsrooK HIS MAN.--The Sonoma Count,

MIsrooK HIS MAN.--The Sonoma County
Journal is responsible for the following:
We have heard during the past week of a
very amusing incident, which occurred not a
thousand miles from San Francisco. Our
readers are entitled to the benefit of it, as it
is too good to be lost. A certain young gen
tlemnn, belligerently inclined, as the sequel
will show, retired for the night but instead
of wooing the drowsy god at once, by the
light of a kerosene lamp, upon which was a
shade about the size of mans hat, (nothing
unusual, however,) he, in all probability,
amused himself with some such thrilling ana
fascinating tale as the "Bucahier of the Gulf 81
etc. Be this ae it may be-we only conjec-
ture thus--during the night, long after the
light had been extinguished in the
"Wee sma' hours ayant the twal"
When ghosts, burglars, ETC., abound, he was
aroused from sound slumber 10y noise in
the room" The first object painted upon the
retinas of our now thoroughly reused hero,
was "a mans head" 10y the bedside Won
derng, doubtless at the temerity and bold
ness of the "feller," our hero determined to
give him a lesson that should be caution to
all of that fraternity. Accordingly he drew
back little, and changing his position so as
to get the "head" directly in front of a win
dow, he prepared for immediate action
Doubling his fist, and dra wing back the same
as far as possible, that the blow might tell. it
fell, and with such crushing force that the
luckless-kerosene lamp was totally demo-
ished, and our hero realized the denouement
amid a shower of glass, followed by sadly
mutilated lamp shade

was made, yet the rebels refused ner. 1t was

The Spread Eagles Nest-.a Fable.

There was an eagle which had a nest in
which there were many eggs, and the eggs
were of number no one has counted and
some Of the eggs were white and some were
parti- -colored and some were smaller, and
all were large. And from the eggs the old
eagle, with grateful beak perceived the little
eagles coming. And at first she found thir-
teen in her nest, and she huttercd with Joy
and pride and looked at her God, the sun,
and lifted her wings over them with a mo-
er's confidence; and the young eagles We're
happy ia the nest-and the mornings were
precious and the evenings were golden
Then slowly from the eggs came forth the
eagles, one by one, two 10y two, as day 10y
day passed, and the nest contained them all,
and the mother eagles wings oerspread them.
But after many days, the young eagles, find
ing that they had beaks, pecked at each 9th
err and Quarreled in the nest. Aud the mo-
ther eagle was panied beyond expression, and
she whispered, my children, this is not veil
for you; be noble, for you are eagles, and,
see you, the hawk and the buzzard, and even
the buzzard, will be looking at YOU But
as the nest grew fuller, al d the mother eagle
spread her wings lovingly wilder, the young
eagles grew more quarrelsone, and more
noisy, and a few of them in one corner, where
NhN i'il -SOlN ~ AI"N ONNH lb5 tbi
ened to leave the nest.
And then the old mother eagle lovingly
drew her wings closer
And still the young eagles quarreled and
clamored, and the hawks and buzzards and
mocking birds looked at them and the crows,
in their parliamentary car cause, made re-
marks concerning them.
And the mother eagle was sad, and the
pride of her sun eye was downcast.
And 10, the eagles which threatened to
leave the nest, being most noisy and most
quarrelsome, futtered over the brink of the
nest, ane--was Il a miracle?-they were also
without wings! And the smaller eagle said,
my dear children. since you cannot fly, live
continually here in the nest, and will guard
you. For, lock you. ifyou fall, how fer be-
low are the rocks on which you must fall"
And still the eggs brought forth the eagles,
and the mother eagle held in her heak ban

Why Mn LINCOLN PASSED THROUGH BALrI-
MORE lNcoG.-The wherefore of Mr. Lincon's
rapid passage j@cog through Baltimore, has
given rise to much comment. The following
explanation, given in dispatch from Wash
ington, appears TO gjves truthful explanation
of Mr. Lucon's conduct in this matter
Mr. Lincolns rapid passage through Balti-
more has been condemned by some who do
not know the facts, which are these: set
of unscrupulous political knaves in Baltimore
had determined to turn Mr.. Lincoln's visit
there to their own account, arranged for
procession from the depot to the hotel Pro-
lection was asked by these rowdies of Mar
shal Kane, who protested against such pro-
eeeding. He said that Ne Lincoln would be
treated with all respect due him personally
and his official position, but so obnoxious
were the parties proposing the demonstration
thai he could not ensure the same respect to
them. Iflhey were determined to brave it,
it might cause some indignity to be offered
which would be mortifying to the President
elect and disgraceful to the city of Baltimore
Finding that these men were fixed in their
purpose, the latter was advised by telegraph
to pass on to Washington without stopping,
which he did This advice came from gen
tlemen, who had the good name of Baltimore
at heart. These advices from Baltimore had
been anticipated by special messenger sent
thence to meet Mr.. Lincoln at Philadelphia,
with dispatches from Gen. Scott and the W ar
Department urging him to come through
Baltimore unexpectedly, as they had specific
information of hostile purposes against him
there in relation to which they could not be
mistaken. This information was obtained
through official secret agents.
