The Chinese Influx.
An eminent scholar and political
Philosopher writes concerning .
question which ere long must become
me of the'gravest questions for THU
"What is to be done with tn,
Chinese infter? The subject is be
coming very serious Our age is .
migration of nations, but it is peace
ful, while the old migration OF nationr
was warlike. Twice was the CHS
Caucasian race in Europe Obliged u
repel the Monaghan influx, which
was setting in like spring tide |
was done by the most sanguinary
war. | speak of the two most not
able cases only. Where would civi
lization be had Attia not been driver
back in one OF the Five Creates
Battles, and had the Mongolians
having already overrun Russia, not
been beaten in Sllesia centuries la
er? Now, that ever-sw arming Mon
golian race, fit, il seems, for nothing |
SO much as for an almost rat-like |
production, invades our territory bui |
il is peaceful invasion, and, per |
haps, only the more dangerous on |
that account. How are we TO keep |
them back ? Will they always re-
turn, after having made some mon
ey? They will gradually become
more accustomed to remain, and |
shall our Pacific district become
Mond' tVfcat-a piece of Asia, over
tapping on America? What pros

subject is very grave one.
Mrs. GRANr.-The Boston Journal
says :: =" In connection with tho cleo
ton OF General Grant TO the PRESS
dency, and only second in point of
interest, is the promotion Of Mrs.
Grant to the post of Lady of the
White House. It is gratifying to
think that the position is ono which
Mrs. Grant will fill with the true
simplicity of an American woman.
There will be no attempt to ape the
grandeur Of regal court, and no, yul-
gar striving after mere sensation.
Mrs. Grant is u lady who has main
tanned, through every event which
has marked propriety Of demeanor.
She has beer helpmeet in days Of
adversely, and has shared his honors
without being dazzled by the posi>
ton, or contaminated by the foolish
adulations Of those who worship at
the shrine Of success
esA-A fossil skeleton of mosasu.,
rus has been discovered on the line Of
the Union Pacific Railroad by Dr.
w. f. Webb. It is Sc feet long, its
jaws are ) feet long. and its neck )
feet in diameter Whether the skel-
eton is perfect or not cannot be ascer-
tanned until it is dug out. The only
one known to exist, we believe, is at
the Jardin deS PLANES, in Paris, and
is but twenty-five feet long. The
newly discovered specimen is to go to
the Academy of Natural Science at
Philadelphia
nea- President Johnson is said to
be bestowing unusual care on the
preparation Of the Message which he
will transmit TO Congress at the
| opening of the regular session, in
December, as it will be the last State
paper, unless he vetoes some OF the
bills which may have passed. He
will doubtless have a last word in
defense Of his policy, and give his
Congressional antagonists fare well
volley.
grM. 1t will he remembered that
the Democrats Of Wintersetf. Iowa,
dominated negro for Justice II The
Peace by way Of a joke, and il ha-
since been found that by the adop-
ton of the amendment to the consli>
tuition which they little expected, be

sing to hold any office which may
be conferred upon him by the Dem~
ocratlc party.

s~The day after the election
hundreds of Galena pc ople called to
congratulate General Grant. Among
them was q chief of an itinerant
troupe playing semi brevet Black
Crook" Grant recognized him as
Westl Point classmate. The incident
was laughable, in some aspects, and,
at least, suggestive, as showing the
inclinations, accidents and fortunes
OF life.

in a sad plight when TIE proprietor
discovered what was going on and |
stopped the fun.
