The CHINESE IMMIGRATION aud laboJ ques
tou has rapidly lOomed INTO importance, first
upou the Pacific slope and latterly ia the Val

ot Cinnamon are now resident ia Calitornif, aud
Notwithstanding the many disadvantages aud
Prosecutions under which they have l4bored,
and from which they are not set eGtirey freed,
they labor and thrive aud increase their nun
bers by immigration from the Celestial Empire.
As many as 1000 arrived in San Francisco

feet that immense numbers will SoOu hereafter
arrive. Should lSamlgranon once fairly set IN
from the densGiy populated and greatly over
crowded regions Of China, 1t Is impossible to
say when or where 1t would stop.
At present the labor of this peculiar people
is made available 10 constructing the long lines
of Pacific railroada and perhaps Tor some time
to come the iafux may be made available and

out the project. This Is nothing more nor less
,Lan The supersedura OF black labor at the
South by the importation and employment OF
Cinnamon. A Chinese Emigration Company
has been formed at st. Louis, and We believe,
another at Memphis, for the purpose OF bring
ing Chinamen from the Pacific coast to work
on the Southern sugar and cotton plantations.
This company will import the workmen and
complete the contracts. The wages, 1t Is said,
will be only 81 month ard cheap rations, aud
these people are peaceable, laborlous, aud
thrifty, and patient and long-suffering under
restraint and heavy labor. As laborers on the
Pacific railroad they rendered satisfaction by.
doing their work we'll and without creating dis

.'IDIING. At the annual celebration OF the
Washington Literary Society of Randolph
Macon College, on the evening OF the 22i, Rev
J.C. Grsnbery, President. elect, delivered the
address. The Dispatch says of it.
With graceful introduction, he announced
as his subject 1.-The Art Of ldling, and pro-
ceeded to show his youthful hearers how they
could best occupy their vacation. His prelude
was rich with auecdote and playful hunor.-,
He then passed over the various modes OF ocl
cupying leisure time, such as reading light Int
erature, ccurtng the girls, and the literary
pastime of making 'curls, Upon this latter
subject he dissertated most humorously. He
did not apply the term to the manufacture of
curls reaching from the centre OF the Uranium to
the alabaster neck of some fair creature, but he
alluded to the curl rhetorical. He then cited
a most amusing example OF one OF these curls
based upon dew drop which could be made
useiulOn any OCCASION.
They conld be used equally as we'll 10

of these .'curs" on hand laid away in some
drawer Of the mind ready for the proper occa

''eurler' without discretion, who made speech

which it was considered that he was most
