"AyorHRR CHINANAN."-our readers
remember that a commercial convention
was held at Memphis, Tennessee, on the
18th of July, and that among the MEM
bers present was Mr.. Koopmanschap,
Of San Francisco, q wealthy merchant
and importer. In Noticing the proceed
ings, a Philadelphia paper says:
A Chinaman, named Tye-Ksm Orr, who
was present at the sittings Of the Convention,
stated that agriculturists can easily be pro-
cured, through proper agents, from the in.
terror Of China. In Cuba, they are paid 81
per month. Farm hands are paid Sl8 to $40
per year in China. where living is so cheap
that l50 pounds Of rice costs 81. They arc
easily managed, being patient, industrious
dociie, tractable and obedient. Another
Chinaman, Koopmanshoop, stated that his
house had conveyed $4,000 Chinese to Cali
fornia, where $1,000 were now engaged al
mechanics and in railroad works. They are
paid from 90 cts. to 81 10 per day, in gold,
a. laborers. They can be induced to come
from San Francisco to Memphis at $50 PEI
China, and under a 1--WE years contract could
be had for $40 to Sl2 per month. He said
they are not reliable unless security is ex.
acted, and will take service with others II
higher wages are offered. Koopmanshoop
asserted that the Coolies are not to be de.
pended upon to fulfil their engagements, and
security must be exacted, otherwise they will
break the contract for their services, il higher
wages are offered them.
Koopmanschap, whose name is terri
bly, maugled in the above extract, is not
q Chinaman. He is a Hollander, for
many years q resident of San Francisco,
whore he is connected in business with
Hip Wo, Chy Lung, Hip Yik, and other
prominent Chinese merchants.

TIE MsAsEsr MAN Yzr.-We thought
the thief who robbed a couple Of. emf
grant girls Of all their money the other
day had " touched bottom" but there
is q a down in Jersey who has
managed to dive deeper than the pick
pocket. This individual came to tho city
about q week ago and hired a womon to
work In his house. This morning he
discharged her, and left her with her
babe a few months old to find her way to
the city as best she might, be refusing
her even money to pay her fare. On
the arrival Of the morning train Of
the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad
at the way station where the brute lives,
the girl was found on the platform,
weeping bitterly over her sad plight.
The kiudhearted conductor told her to
ret aboard the train, and then told her
story to one Of the dicrectors of the
road, who was on board. and who
passed her to the city. To add to her
misery the child was suffering from an
injury which necsssitates its removal
to . hospital. Her employer might
have been edited, IL not flattered, BY
hearing the opinions freely expressed
BY the passengers concerning his moral
condition and future welfare CONNER

DESCRIBING the New York Female
Suffrage Convention, at Saratoga, q
correspondent writes that the ladies
shrewdly selected the parlors Of Con.
gress Hall for their meeting. It brought
a stangsly assorted crowd. There
were "stately dowagers, full blown,
with quantities Of diamonds, old lace,
family pride solid men from Wall and
State streets, with large bank accounts
dashing bellies bent on making q con.
quest; languld and blaze tops, who
stared at the woman speakers through
their eyeglasses as If they were part o.
%msnagerie plump widows with an
eye to the main chance ; lovely children
not yet spoiled by tho pestilent infu.
euce of fashion ; fortune hunters, horse
fanciers and others whom my pen would
fail to describe" Wealth, fashion,
beauty, folly, and perhaps vice.. were
all represented. Dignity WAS seen in
the person Of Willard Fillmore, who is
probably the frat President whom the
radical reformsrs have ever numbered
among their hearers. Ex.Mayor Opdyke,
Commodore Vanderbilt, and Thurlow
Weed looked upon the convention for q
short time.

THn INpiASs.-A recent Washington
dispatch says "Vincent Collyer, Sec
rotary to the United States Indian Com
mission, organized at the Cooper Insti-
tate q year ago, says he visited and
closely inspected 81 tribes in their wig
vans and native homes, numbering
nearly &C 900 souls, located in Kansas,
the Indian Territory, Texas, New Next
CO., Arizona and Colorado. Some OF the
tribes are the most warlike and trouble
some in the country. Others are more
civilized. Among them all he was well
received, and in many tribes with
marked hospitality. In nearly all the
tribes visited, school teachers and farm
ing tools we're found, and in all the
Journey he did not see a case Of drunk
enness, witness a scene Of violence, or
hear a blasphemous word BY an Indian.
He believes that by patient efforts all
the tribes can be civilized, and that in
less than two years we will have heard
of the last Indian outrages. A deep re-
Iigious feeling ~pervadsd nearly all their
conversations and councils"

HOW TO Rise IN THR WORLD.

Glance over the world, and we find
that it is not those who are born with
silver spoons in their mouths, who are
aided BY friends, or who are what are
known as born geniusss, that achieve
the greatest success. On the contrary,
they are those who embrace oil the OPP
portunities which are offered them, who
push steadily forward, having a fixed
purpose in view, and are diverted
neither to the right nor left; who labor
diligently, spending no time in idle
ness, but improving every moment.
Whoever starts out in life with a deter.
mination to be increasingly Industrious,
and adheres to that determination, will
achieve success, though his talents be
not Of the brilliant order, and be re-
ceives little or no assistance from
friends. Go, study the habits Of those
who have risen TO e%minenco, and you
will learn that industry has been the
secret of their success.
From early manhood It has been a
rule with Henry Ward Beecher to con-
stantly keep q book with him TO peruse
during spare moments. If be is going
to ride 10 the horse cars, in the stage,
on the steamboat or steam coach, he
takes o volume with him, and, pulling
it out, devours it's contents, while his
fellow passengers are gazing out Of the
window or riding along In o half dreamy
frame of mind. he carries this habit Of
time.saving so far as to insist on read
ing while being shaved by his barber.
What can be achieved during these
" spare moments" is we'll illustrated in
tho case OF Elihu Burritt, the learned
blacksmith, who contriyed, while work.
ing at the forge, to acquire o knowl-
edge Of all tho ancient languages. Tho
New York correspondent of the Chicago
| Journal tells of . man in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard who has for many years done
the work aud drawn the pay Of a ma
chinist, who has yet found time during
all this while to crafty a yearning thirst
for knowledge. It may be surprising,
yet 1t is nevertheless true, that he has
mastered the French, German and Italian
tongues, made himself partially &C.
auainted with Hebrew, and obtained q
thorough knowledge Of botany and geo.
logy. He has continued to work on
from day to day at the Navy Yard
bench, spending all his nights and Moons
in study, and outstanding all his earn
ings to purchase books, of which he has
a library of nearly eleven hundred vol.
umss; and now he Is suddenly promoted
to a prominent public position.
There is no individual, however hum.
bio his circumstances or calling, who
cannot rise in this country, if he makes
up bis mind to do so, and devotes to
the attainment Of his object the mo.
ments which are now given to idleness
or pleasure. Young men-you who are
filing inferior stations, and are unhap.
py because you suppose you are tied
down to your calling-think Of this,
and strike boldly out for yourselves
