POpDieS.

A Frenchman, at Natchitoches, La,
intends to raise poppies, this year, on
several acres of ground, and to make
opium. He says that an acre Of poppies
will make fly pounds of opium, worth
fifteen or twenty dollars pound, and
that the cost of manufacturing is less
than four dollars pound. Ills crop
would amount to six hundred and nine
ty dollars an acre, at this estimate, from
which the cost of cultivation is to be
subtracted. Ten acres would accord
ingly crop about seven thousand dol
lars gross. .' rtr, ;"

The Asiatic Exodus to the United
States.

Still they come. Already on the Pa
ciflc slope there are some one hundred
thousand Cinnamon. On Thursday last
twelve thousand Cinnamon arrived at
San Francisco in sailing vessels. Sill
yer is being found in large quantities in
the White Pine district. Chinese labor
will, in consequence, be more in de-
mand than ever 1t is not too much to
say that in ten years we shall have sew
eral millions of Chinese on the Pacific
slope. They are hardy, industrious,
thrifty people, and, in spite of their re-
ligious and social customs, they will
help largely to develop the resources of
those immense regions which lie west
of thelRocky Mountains The vast i'm
migration of Chincse!ihto this country
is pregnant with important rcsuts.a 1t

tide of immigration has Changed it's
course. From Asia, the cradle of the
race, it has in all tile past moved west

ry, it is taking an eastern direction.M
The thousands from Chinawill soon'b be-,

Seats for Passengers.

Railroad companies must find seats
for every passenger, or pay daniages.
So, at least, the Supreme Court of New
York has decided ION appeal from a
lower courD in the case of Walker VS..
the Long Island Railroad Company.
Plaintiff sued to recover damages for
negligence, that caused the death of
his father, while travelling about q year
ago. " Deceased was standing on the
platform, and was knocked off, there
fore defendants contendcd that, as it
was in violation of the printed rules
hung up in the cars, plaintiff had no
claim. But it"bcing proved that de-
ceased had gone through all the cars
and looked in vain for a seat, the court
gave a judgmentfor plaintiff, affirming

Trouble in Mexico.

There is still some trouble in Mexico.
/" In Queretaro," says the news, "the
troubles are increasing" we had no
idea that this was possible. We thought
that in all the Mexican States, without
exception, troubles were permanently
crammcd and jammed to the full capa-
city of the State, and that the only thing
any Mexican community might reason
ably believe itself secure against was
more trouble than it already had. What
new evil can it be that has now come
down upon Queretaro True, they are
reported as executing prisoners for
treason there; but that is nothing
new, and so far from its being an in
crease to their troubles il is rather re-
creation, a pleasure, sport, and the
happy people turn out to see the shoot
ing, just as people here turn out to
see fine bout at the "national game"
We cannot conceive what it is that has
increased the troubles of Mexico. "Min-
lister Nelson would arrive the follow
ing day." Could it be chat! Not at ali.
The great Mexican nation which drove
out Louis NapolGons' army has no such
opinion of the United States as to heed
the comihg or going of it's Ministers.
." Foreigners think that the Mexicans
will be annexed to the United States"
Neither could it be this, for in Mexico
they are not disturbed by,what foreign
'ers think. What is it that could add to
the troubles of Mtxico? q.
The base are out of fortunes poWcr;' " It
I" .1ie that is down can get no lower.
