The CHINESE TREATMENT OF WOMEN.
One of the greatest failings in the char
acter of the Chinese, is want of respect
for woman; and the main defect in their
unique and wonderful civilization, and,
indeed, the chief hindrance to their pro-
gress to q more enlightened life,i the want
of her influence in shaping and control
ing the sentiments and customs of Chi.
nose society. She has no social position
or influence. Her condition is but one
step above that of slave. She is regar.
ded, as she is in fact, tool for mans
pleasure or convenience, and as greatly
inferior 10 him in all respects She is not
cultivated, in our sense of the term. Her
face is utterly blank of intelligence and
refinement. Very rarely, indeed, is that
chaste and delicate feeling, and tender,
thoughtful sentiment, which is the crown
ing glory of the Christianizcd woman.
especially in America, seen sleeping in
her features or flashing from her eyes, Or
sparkling from her lips; but the whole
contour and expression of her face is
painfully stolid and repulsivc, and has in
it more of the type Of the animal than
the angel.

The DANDY AND HIS TURKEY.-Chief

The DANDY AND HIS TURKEY.-Chief
Justice Marshall was in the habit of going
to market himself, and carrying home his
purchases. Frequently he would be seen
at sunrise, with poultry in one hand and
vegetables in the other. On one of these
OCCASIONS "a fashionable young man from
the North who had removed to Richmond,
was swearing violently because he could
find no one to carry home his turkey.
Marshall stopped and asked him where
he lived, and said, on being told, "That's
on my way, and I will take it for you"
When he came to the house, the young
man inquired, "What shall l pay you p
ooh! nothing" said the Chief Justice,
"you are welcome: it was on my way,
and no trouble"
ssWho was that polite old man that
brought home my turkey for mer" in
ouired the young man of a bystander.
"That," replied he, "is John Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States"
"Why did he bring home my turkey 7"
"To give you severe reprimaId, and to
teach yoa to attend to your own business"
was the reply. True greatness never feels
above doing anything that is useful; but
especially the true great man will never
feel above helping himself: His own in
dependence of character depends on bis
being able to help himself.

How TO PREVENT THE RAvAeEs OF THE
BOIL WoRM-The West Georgia Gazette
has been furnished by an experienced
farmer with the following facts concel n
ing the dreaded boil worm. He says the
fly, which resembles the candle fly, usu-
ally makes its appearance towards the
last of July, and about the first of Au-
gust begins 10 deposit its eggs. These il
drops about on the limbs, leaves, and in
the bud of the cotton stalk. Those left
in the bud are the ones that do the dam
age; for if it be dry the eggs on the
limbs will die for want Of sustenancc.
If wet weather, however, all of thcm
will thrive. Our informant says that a
sure remedy is to top the cotton between
the first and the tenth Of August, after
you are sure the fly has laid its eggs.
He has tried it often, and never failed in
making crop, while others who neglcc-
ted it lost nearly all. The fellow in the
bud is the one to be dreaded, therefore
top your cotton.

- A newspaper is an adviser, who does
not require to be sought but comes to you
briefly every day of common veal, with
out dstracting your private affairs.
Newspapers, therefore, become more ne
cessary in proportion as men become

feared. To suppose that they only servo
to protect freedom, would be to diminish
their Importance; they maintain civilza-
tion.

born just eight years after his prcdeces-

Monroe. Another curious fact to be ob.
served is, that Adams was just 66 years

RATES OF ADVERTISING.
LAW REGARDING NEWSPAPERS.

Some persons imagine that they can subscribe
for q newspaper and in whimsical mood; cease to
take it from the post-oce, and there their respon-
sibility ends; the reverse is the case, as will be
seen by the following:
DECISION OF THE CoUnTs.-Any person who
takes paper regularly from the Post Office
whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible
for the pay. If person orders his paper discon.
.inued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publish
er may continue to send it until payment is made,
and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken
from the Office or not The courts have decided
that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals
from the post-ofice or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prua acie evidence of intentional
fraud.

RULES FOR SELF-GovERNMENr-(By a
prudent old gcntleman)-Ask no woman
her age. Never joke with a policeman.
Don't play at chess with a widow. Never
contradict man who shutters. Be civil
to all rich uncles and aunts. Your oldest
hat, of course, for any evening party. AL
ways sit next to the carver, if you can, at
dinner. Keep your own secrets. Tell
no human being you dye your whiskcrs.
Wind up your conduct like your watch,
once every day examining minutely
whether you are "fast' or "slow." Make
friends with the steward on board o
steamer; there's no knowing how soon
you may be placed in his power. Write
not one letter more than you can help.
The man who keeps up large CORES,
pondence is a martyr tied, not TO the
stake, but 10 the post.

A New MANGUvRE.-Ab bill in equity
filed in the Court of Common Pleas for
Laurens County, in behalf of the Presi-
dent and Directors of tho Bank of the
State of South Carolina against the Lau-
rsns Railroad Company and others, COM
plains that at sale, under an execution
at law, Of the rolling stock of the Lau-
rens Railroad Company, (that corpora
tion being insolvent, and the State and
the bank being both heavily interested
as creditors in the disposition of it's
assets,) ga locomotive was sold and
knocked off to his Excellency Robert X.
Scott, not in his official character as
Governor, but to him as an individual,
and that the agent, one Joseph Crews,
who acted ior the purchaser has pro-
claimed that he means to remove the said
locomotive, regardless of the paramount
liens OF the State and the bank, both
liens being perfected long anterior to the
judgment under which the locomotive
was Sold" The complainant, therefore
pray that writs of injunction may issue
restraining Governor Scott and his agent,
Crews from removing the locomotive or
any other movable property of tho CON-
pany, of which they may have become
the purchasers. The answer of Attorney
General Chamberlain, representing the
interests of the State in the matter, sus-
tains each and all of the allegations con-
tanned in the bill, and moreover explicitly
charges that "the purchasers under said
sale are now designing and contriving to
remove and dispose Of said property so
purchased" The Attorney General,
therefore, joins in the prayer for the in
junction.
What does all this mean? Is it posi-
Ble that the Governor Of South Carolina,
Sodnd as he is to look after and protect
Der interests, has taken advantage of his
Office to buy, on his individual account,
personal property upon which he knew
that the State holds lien, and that he
is seeking to remove such property be-
yond the Jurisdiction of her courts
This, it seems to u.s. is the statement OF
facts, Which we have upon the authority
of the Attorney General himself

Too SHARp.-An enterprsing business
man of this city runs two branches OF
trade, to-wit: grocery and fish mar
kct. The grocery he runs himself, the
fish market by deputy, and every night
the latter makes returns of the proceeds
of the DAYS business to the proprietor.
A day or two since the grocer found in
his fish market returns counterfeit fve
dollar BILL He didn't like TO lose it, and
he didn't quite want to take tho chances
of trying to pass it, So he called an old
darkoy who was hanging about the prem
ises, and said to him:
Sam, here's FIVE dollar bill that's a
little doubtful. If you will take it and
pass it, I'll give you dollar out of the
change"
every WE'LL" said Sam, and he took the
bill and went off. Later in the day he re,
turned, having accomplished the feat, and
handed over four dollars in good money
to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in coanting over
the cash returns from his fish market,
was more surprised than delighted to find
the identical five in in the pile.
"Look hore,' said he, sharply, to his
market clerk, "here's counterfeit bill
who did you take it of? Didn'tyou know
twas bad ?"
Clerk took it and looked at it for a mo-
ment.
"Oh, yes" said he, II remember now (;
I took it of Sam, the darkey. 1 thought
it was little doubtful, and wasn't going
to take it, but he said ho got it of you,
so 1 thought it was all right"
Further explanation was unnecessary.

TRUTH IN BR1EF.-Any body can soil
tho reputation of an individual, however
pure and chaste, by uttering u suspicion
which his enemies will believe and his
friends never hear Of A puff of idle
wind can take up million of the seeds
of the thistle, and do work of mischief
which the husbandman must labor long
and hard to undo, the floating particles
being too trifling to be seen, and too light
to be stopped. Such are tho seeds OF
slander, SO easily sown, so difficult to be
gathered up, aud yet so pernicious in
their fruits. They know that many a
mind will catch up the plague and be-
come poisoned by their insinuation, With
out ever finding or caring to seek the an
tidote. No rcfutation can refute n sneer,
nor any humun skill prevent its mischief.
