The Coolies

\ late San Francisco dispatch an
nounces the arrival in that city of | 200
Chinese, in sailing vessels, from Hong
Kong. The arrival and settlement of Il
colony of japanese immigrants i'll FL
Dorado county, California, was duly noted
several weeks since. 1t is difficult to tell
where this emigration from China and
Japan will stop. Chinese emigration
commenced several years since, and the
human stream from China to the Pacific
continually widening and increasing in
volume. Until the gold discoveries in
Australia and California, China had re-
manned a sealed book to the world outside.
The sanctity of the great wall had re-
manned almost unbroken, the laws being
Of sufficient stringency to prevent the loss
Of a single subject by emigration, and the
Chinaman was never found outside the
limits of his own country. In the July
number of the Galaxy, under the title,
"Qur Impending Chinese Problem" a
writer gives many interesting facts relative
to the latter class of immigrants. He es-
Inmates the number of Chinese at present
on American soil at 200, 900, and the
total number who have emigrated TO all
parts of the world as equal TO one per
cent. of the total population of China
After giving some interesting character
istics Of the race, and referring to their
presence in workshops Of every kind, the
writer says:
The sure result of this will be that, in
few years, the small savings of these
workmen will, by accumulation, trans
form the coolie of to-day into the capital
list, contracting to build railroads, owning
large farms and factories, and lines Of
ships, and making great commercial com
binatiOns. This is certain, for no people
on the face of the earth advance so un-
swervingly in the accumulation of CAPT
tai; and in its investment from childhood
upward they combine the shrewdness of
the Jews with the many-sidedness of the
Yankee. What the Jews have been in
banking, the Chinese may easily become
in general commerce and industry on the
Pacific coast.
The reason why the writer thinks the
infx Of Chinse will continue, and their
colonization be a success, not only in this,
but many other countries, is their ability
to maintain vigorous, moral, and physical
vitality in all ATTITUDES.

HAzLEnuRsr. june 18Th. ,Ga.


Editor C2drion:--The ultra RAIDS OF this
county gave the people great treat last
Saturday. The ball opened at Crystal
Springs; Col. Harvey. Probate Clerk by ap-
pointment, accompanied by few Others,
and body guard of some thirty or forty
blacks all armed, made their appearance AZ
an early hour, and was met by Sheriff
Matthews, and Col. Stafford of the Pilot,
who Is TO pilot the Radical ship during the
next canvass. Col. Stafford spoke first aud
made a pretty good speech considering his
cause, though stated no issue. lie was fol-
lowed by DIR. Hanslow, who said more in
threc-quarters of an hour than Col. Stafford
said In both opening and closing speeches
fully meeting him on every point. Next
came the Rev. Mortimer, who had a speech
of some dozen pages, written, but owing TO
the shortness o. time allowed him, was una
bic to deliver the whole of 1t; lie was fol-
lowed by Judge Stone, who showed himself
TO be fully able TO demolish his antagonist.
At Hazlehurst, the discussion was opened
by Samuel l.. Harvey, followed by Capt. y
ID. Ramsey, who, for three-quarterS of an
hour, threw shot aud shell into the Radical
camp. Next came the pilot Of the Radical
party; he did not 20 far before he run
against the rocks and foundered. lie started
out claiming 10 be a Jeiiersonian Democrat
and before he concluded, charged the war
with all its results upon that party The
Pilot was followed by Judge W. a. Stone
who pitched into him and his party hot aud
heavy. Col. Stafford, like Col. Harvey,
stated no issue TO the cOlored people except
that the Republican party had given them
all the rights they have under the law.
Col. Stafford no doubt thought that he would
come down among these piney-woods peO-
pie aud convert them all to Radicalism.
The Colonel was bitter on the ''bOltcrs" as
he called the National Republicans. lie
was the worst used up man / ever saw or
heard in debate. OBSERVER.

We Grecian Bend and It's MOdus
Operandi.

Our nineteenth century New York
belle is more than even pads and patent
beavers. She is to be regarded not only
as respects her bust, but as respects her
bender. The origin of the term Gre
clan, from the erroneous idea that the
Greek antique statuesque models of
beauty inclined considerably from the
perpendicular, and the origin of the bend
itself at Saratoga in 1868, on the person
of two sisters of Fifth avenue extraction,
are too well known to require more than
mere mention in this place; but it may
not perhaps be generally known that the
fashion or rather the deformity was car
ried to such length of absurdity, that
during the fall of that year a woman
named Clarke absolutely attempted to
open a school for instruction in the Bodus
operdIadi of the ridiculous position that
young girls practiced the Grecian bend
for days at their own homes, under the
eyes Of their mothers, preparatory TO APP
pearing with a first-class bend on the
street; and that an apparatus was invent
ed by one female fool, and worn by hun
dreds of her silly kidney, by which APP
paratus, consisting of strap around the
waist, drawn tight from the shoulders in
front, certain stOop was given to the
body, and the bend could be Bonded with
certainty and precision. This apparatus
cost three dollars, and came into pretty
extensive use.

CHILDREN a child has been
punished in any way, he should be re-
stored to favor as soon as possible; and
when he has received forgiveness; treated
as If nothing had happened. He may be
affectonately reminded of his fault in
private as a warning for the future; but,
to upbraid him with it, especially in the
presence of others, is breach of honor.
and great unkindness. Under any cir
cumstances, to reproach children in com
pany is useless and often injurious, as well
as painful to them; and is generally done
from irritability of temper, with little to
their profit.

Napoleon. In his ability TO sleep, at viii,
there is no mystery. Such was the ten

military affairs of the Empire-and he
aspired to direct everything NapO-
leon was a man so overtasked a always
