SLoANAKER, the celebrated wax-works man.
has written another epistle. The Count Won
Bismark, to whom he addressed his last. has
we regret to say, not yet found time to indite
suitable reply For this reason the JUDGE"
found it necessary to address himself to some
one else, and he pitched upon the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, propoundinp TO
him certain queries in his capacity as CAT
torney of the Southwestern Distillerv Associa-
ton" This Southwestern Distillery Asso-
ciation" appears to be a gigantic concern, in
proof of which it controls not less than forty
different distilleries, and, what is still more to
the point, rejoices in the possession of the
Judge as its attorney, People who know
the Judge as well as he is known in this
latitude will be inclined to sympathize with
the Southwestern Distillery Association, y
upon which has fallen greater burden of
af1liction, in the shape of the Judge" than
is generally meted out to the manufacturers
of the ardent, even in this their day of sore
Affections. In this connection we should like
to know if the patent butter machine in which
the "Judge" was recently interested has
proved a dead failure.

TILE CITY DEMOCRACY.

ON Saturday the card of Mr.. Joseph N. Peirsol ap-
peared in THE EVENING TELEGRAPH. 1t is a docu-
ment full of plain talking and reveals some curious
manipuatons Of the inner wires so sacreuly con-
cealed from the eyes of the profane multitude anu
so adroitly pulled by the managers Wheh an IMAM
nous baw OF assent is needed from the delega.es ~
convention. This unusual complication mas sollle
points of interest to the meek public. 1t matters put
little to us as Republicans whether these conflicting
elements are recOnciled or not, as our slahuaru
bearer, MIR. Joseph r. Marcer will unquestlohaoy DC

the subject as trustworthy indication OF the disor-
ganized condition Of the Democracy in this city, ana

JOHN OHLNAMAN.

The Importance of a knowledge of the charac-
teristics of John Chinaman increases with the
probabilities of his emigration into every
portion of the country. That he possesses
some qualities which, under proper regula-
lions, will prove eminently useful, cannot be
doubted; but, like the rest of mankind vices
and weaknesses are strangely intermingled
with his virtues, and we can scarcely expect
to secure the services of an embodiment of
human perfection for the small sum of twelve
dollars a month. AS domestic servants they
have given great satisfaction on the Pacific
coast. They appear to possess what has prac-
ticaIly become lost art among the SER
wants on the Atlantic seaboard, the capacity
of obeying instructions literally and faithfully,
and of doing exactly what they are told to do
exactly in the manner prescribed by the lady
of the household After Chinaman is told
TO scrub floor, wash dishes, or make bed
in a particular way, he gladdens the heart of
a tidy housekeeper by his unvarying adhe-
rence IN his instructions Some of the Cali
forpia matrons find it difficult to overcome
the repugnance to their employment as cooks
which is inspired by the reports OF Chinese
fancy for peculiar diet which from time to
time have been disseminated in this country;
and il must be confessed that the prospect OF
having rats, mice, or birds nests served up as
disguised dainties is by no means agreeable

WAGNER, the musician of the future, should
be looked after The people of the present
age are quite incapable of withstanding the
torture of a style of harmony which belongs
to the forty-fourth century. A celebrated
German tenor, it is said, was driven to COM
init suicide by participating in the rehearsals
of a fantastical operate effusion by Wagner,
entitled I5fStan and Isolde, and now comes a
report from Munich that a famous pianist has
been driven to madness by the same intoler-
able affair. If the suppression of Wagner Is
at all possible, it ought to be effected at all
hazards

an OPPORTUNITY FOR A REVOLU-
TION.

II appears that the leaven of the revolution
which overturned the Spanish Bourbons has
not as yet penetrated the Western extremity
of the Iberian peninsula 1t is stated that a
Scotchman doing business in Oporto has been
sentenced to six years banishment from Por-
tugal by the Government of that country, for
the simple offense of proclaiming Protestant
doctrines to the members of his own house
hold. This manifestation of bigotry is en-
tirely opposed to the spirit of the age. In
every other section of Europe, except Rome
itself, the intolerant spirit of the middle ages
has been replaced by comparative freedom of
conscience Bismark and Won Beust together
have regenerated Austria, and Serrano and
CASTELAR, have regenerated Spain, whereby the
two great strongholds of bigotry have been
entirely overthrown. Dom Luis, the present
ruler of Portugal, has the reputation of being
an enlightened and liberal-minded monarch.
but if such iniquities as that just referred to
can be perpetrated, even with his tacit con-
sent, he enjoys reputation quite the reverse
of what he deserves. A golden opportunity
is now afforded him to make his mark in his
tory. If he should refuse or neglect to en-
brace the opportunity, the old story of the
Bourbon downfall may have counterpart
close at hand before the lapse of many years.

The POETRY OF OFFICIAL LIFE.-The New
York Herald has unearthed a poet in the Gus
tom House of that city who wishes to resign
his position because of conscientious political
scruples. Barnum should secure this man
and re-enter the show business without delay
Joyce Heth, the Mermaid, the Woolly Horse,
the What-is-it? and the bogus Gorilla were
comparatively tame as curiosities by the side
of this conscientious politician. If Collector
Grinnell should not prove so hard-hearted as
to refuse to accept his resignation, we should
be pleased to have him pass few weeks in
this city Immediately after his conscientious
scruples are satisfied. We should be de-
lighted with the opportunity to introduce
him to Messrs. Stokes, Adaire, Davis, Bum,
Cloud, and Hong, who are utterly deficient in
his most remarkable quality-that of consci-
entious scruples against the holding of office
but whose cases might not be entirely hope
less if they were permitted to view with their
own eyes the poetical marvel of the New
York Custom House.

Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 20, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it ia
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed ON
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
1t useless, the effort then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hours but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no Alarm The tools, with the exception
OF the drills, were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with tina

LONDON, Sept. s.-The Times to-day, is in

says: 'Whether China understands that it is
for its advantage to keep order in its own do
minions or not, England is resolved to insist
that it must keep the Mandarins under proper
control. We shall refuse the responsibility of
maintaining peace if there is any foundation
for the suggestion that the Government is try
ing to deceive the Western Powers by the pre-
tended power to establish more direct rela-
tons. 1t IS hard to understand how we should
enter into war under less favorable conditions,
because the outrages are really the acts Of the
Mandarins delegated from Pekin.
az Should war arise it would be unquestiona-
bly, our interest to stipulate that fulfillment of
the terms of the treaty be assumed solely by
the Chinese our Government. in giving the
chances of success to the Burlingame mission,
may be accomplishing peaceably what it might
be compelled to effect by force. The present
alarm will give no cause to distrust the recent
ly recognized doctrine that it is better for for
eigners trading with China TO make it the bus
mess of the Central Government to keep to
treaties and oblige its subjects to do so.

MARSHAL ADoLPHE NEIL. whose death
is announced in our cable dispatches
was one of the abest military men Of
France. Entering the military school at
an early age. he evinced All extraordinary
diligence in study, and would allow no
one TO surpass him. His favorite branch,
in which be excelled, was the science Of
engineering, aud it is in this department
that he mainly won his military renown.
He fist gained fame in Algeria where he
distinguished himself at the seige and cap
ture of Constantine. He was afterwards
attached to the French expedition sent to
restore Rome to the Pope, and was hon
ored as the bearer of the keys Of that city
to the fugitive Pontif at Gae:a. He sub
sequently added to his distinction by his
skill as the commander OF engineers at
Bomersund. In the Crimean war he was
sent to investigate the operations at Sc
bastopol. where, as chief of engineers, he
greatly contributed to the capture of the
Malakoff. For his services here he recei-
we'd the decoration of the Legion Of Hon
or. In the war for Italian unity Against
the Austrians. he commanded the Fourth
army corps Of the Army Of the A ps. and
by his skillful management Of the artillery
Of the allied French and Italian armies.
He was made Senator in 1857. and Min
lister of War in 1867, which latter Office
he held up to the time of his death. He

volcano of Kilauea is again in action. The
cold South Lake" which, our readers will
recOllect, has been for sometime nothing but a
"big hole in the ground" is again filed with
lava. Those who have visited the lake lately,
anticipate that it will soon overflow and fill up
the great depression made in its vicinity
during the commissions of 1865. Although
several shocks of earthquake have recently
been felt in Puma, it is confidently expected
that when Madam Pele gets her fireworks

The Bishop of Honolulu is on a conirma-

he has had narrow escape. just as the
Bishop and his party had entered a small
sailing boat to convey them on shore, a brig
under full sail bore down upon them. In a
moment the boat was under her sides and
partially immersed. Most of the party seized
the tackle of the brig, and tried to get on
board her. The Bishop was unable to re-
cover his footing in the boat, and was carried
away by the brig, still under sail, a consid-
cradle distance, hanging by his hands TO the
bowsprit, and up to his middle in the water
He was eventually rescued by small boat
