The Memphis Chinese labor
Convention

MEMPHIS, July 14.--Tlle Chinese Labor
Convention met at 10 o'clock this morning
Attendance large, composed of planters and
landowners throughout the surrounding
States.
The Finance Committee submitted a
report favoring a joint stock immigration
society, with offices in the principal South
ern cities.
The immigration Committee promises a
welcome and protection to all immigrants
from China or elsewhere.
The Transportation Committee reported
that immigrants can be brought to Mem
phis, in lots of 500 and over, from the Pa
cific States, by rail, for $50 each, and from
Hong Kong to San Francisco at $50 to 500
each, gold. Tye Kin Orr, a Chinaman two
years in this country, now visiting Loulsl-
lana, addressed the Convention. He stated
that agriculturists can easily be procured,
through proper agents, from the interior of
China that they are easily managed, being
patient, Industrious and docile, and that
the Chinese would easily become successful
workers of Southern soil.
K"opmanchap arrived at noon and adj
dressed the Conven ion, stating that his
house has imported $4,000 Chinese into
California, many of whom are employed as
mechanics, and others OH railroads. They
are paid from ninety cents to one dollar
gold per day. They can be induced to
come from San Francisco here for about $50
per month, but can be obtained much
cheaper in China. They will make five
year contracts at $40 to $40 per month.
He states that they are not at all times re
liable unless security is exacted, and will
take service with others when higher prices
are offered.

USEFUL MENT.

How TO KEEP CooL.-The following
simple hints from the Scientific american
are useful to remember during the warm
weather of the present season:
"Be sparing in your diet, which should
consist principally in fruits, berries and
vegetables. Avoid every thing of a greasy
nature; also spices, condiments and sweets.
Drink nothing bit water. Chew nothing
but food; chew that we'll, but do not chew
too much of it. Excess in eating is one of
the principle causes of that lazy, ~listless,
relaxing feeling experienced by so
many persons in hot weather. Dress light
ly, and change often. Wear nothing at
night which is worn during the day:
Battle the body morning with cool or cold
water. Keep a clean conscience as well as
clean body and clean clothing, and don't
get excited. If uncomfortably warm at
any time, immerse the hands, or feet, or
both, in cold water for a short time, or let
a stream of cold wafer u upon the wrists
and ankles. This will cool the whole body
in a short time,

Spain aud Cub =.

LONDON, July 15.-Tho Times says some
progress of Spain towards an enl' ghtened
commercial policy will soon bccomea neces-
sity, and with a more liberal tariff system,
it will be difficult for her home products to
compete with American, and they will be
unable longer to monopolizc the markets of
the Antilles. Undcr these circumstances
Cuba will become useless to Spain, and
pride alone can lead her to hold on to a
dominion disputed in the teeth of Spanish
troops.
Prim and other statesmen are convinced
that the separation of Cuba is only a ques-
ton of time. National honor prevents
Spain taking such steps as long as the in
surrection prevails, but when the Island is
pacifed the natural dictates OF reason ought
to be listened to-.

Use THE RAKE.-It is too much the Gus
tom to allow the ground to get weedy, and
then make a job Of hoeing it. 1t is better
net to allow the weeds to get the start.
and to effect this, no implement is more
useful than a sharp steel rake. In small
gardens, especially, whether of vegetables
or flowers, the rake can be kept in such
frequent use between the rows and among
the plants, that very little'weeding will BE-
necessary. 1t is many times easier to kill
a weed just as it is in the seed-leaf, than
when it becomes a well established plant.
Stir the soil frequently with the rake, and
the weeds will be taken at their most vul-
nerable time. A short exposure to the
sun while in their early stage Of growth
will kill the hardest Of them.

the tree tops in Eagle Lake bottom and
have been there two days.
Positive information has been received
that the water was two feet over the tops
of the telegraph poles on farms in Eagle

year.
There are various rumors from Bastrop.

none are to be credited.
1t is impossible to arrive at the extent Of
loss to towns along the Colorado till the
water falls. 1t has already fallen six feet.
The Brazos is still rising. 1t is reported
that all the rivers near San Antonio are out
of their banks.
