Tho Chinose.

A Boston clergyman, Mr.. ,bott, who has
been studying the Chinese in San Francisco,
ia strongly In favor Of their emigration to
this country he seys they are ell bound to
60 back to China, and will do it as soon as
they have little money. He remarks that
the Chinese character is perfect incsrna-
tion Of non-resistanoe. It answers to the
ethics Of the gospel in many ways. 1t
never renders evil for evil. Its chief glory
.s meekness Of spirit. AT first men abuse
ard make q mock Of this disposition, but
by-and by it commands respect, and the re-
mark is made that the Chinamsn is harm
less, therefore, leave him alone. The
writer observes THAT hundred different
branches Of labor are already dependent
upon the Chinese. They are faithful to
their employers. They are apt imitators.
and can do anything that is shown them.
The writer regards them as an open mis-
sionary field. sndSsays that hundreds of
them are in the San Francisco Sunday
schools. -
This is the intelligent, frugal, cheap in
dustry that we require Sor the low country
Of South Carolina. II the pigtails are not
wanted in Virginia and Georgia, SO much
the better for us. We want them, and will
have them despite the dog in the -manger
policy of some Of our contemporaries.

Which reports were severally approved
S The Board of Managers, through the
Corresponding Secretary, submitted the
following report, which was also approved
The Clayton Co. Bible Society was or
ganized at Garnavillo, June l6, 1850
During the time it remained there, the
Board of Managers in their efforts to can
vass the county, and supply the destitute
with the Holy Scriptures, involved the
Society in a debt to the Parent Society.
amounting to $l83 7S-lOO; owing to this
aud other difficulties the Society became
imperative.
On Sunday evening, Nov. 18th 1863, q
Union meeting in behalf of the Bible
cause, was held in the Congregational
Church, at McGregor, at which it was
seselved to adopt the suggestion of the
friends Of the cause at Garnavillo namely
to re-organize the Clayton County Bible
Society at McGregor. The society, as
re-organized, has been in operation six
years; duripg this period, agents have
been appointed from time to time to can>
vass in their several localities, but no
extended canvass of the county has been
attempted. Alta special meeting of the
board of managers, held Nov. 10th 1865,
it was resolved to cauyass Mendon town
ship, but the matter was deferred, the
board desiring thorough canvass of the
whole county. and the supply Of the des-
titute with Bibles as soon as the means at
the command of the Society would justify
it.
= Branches of this Society are in opera
lion at Monona, Clayton, Elkader, and
Volga City. Books are left on sale at
Gard, Garnavillo, Export, and Gutten-
berg. From the date Of the organization
of the society, up to the year commencing
Nov. l4th, 1865, we find upon the records
no date of the Society's financial transac-
tions. The receipts Of the Society from
the sale Of Bibles and donations since its
North Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1867-current, 1869-12-01

Drunl.
What an awful word that monosyllable
is-drunk. Nothing good in it. Its very
sound is british; its meaning is the syno-
nym of beastliness. The sound and
meaning suggest nothing that is good,
but everything that is bad, cold, soullesa
and vile. -.
Yet whom We ses the victim Of the cup
accompanied blythe Innocence of youth
his own childfsn-the heart is touched
with pity, and the soul yearns for the
time when man shall no longer put the
cup to his neighbor's lips.
Yesterday afternoon, in the city Of Des
Moines, quite crowd of men and women
gathered around poor man who laid on
the sidewalk-drunk. Soon two little
children, between eight and twelve years
old, came along hunting their father.
They found him on the sidewalk, drunk,
and with their little hands dragged him by
his clothing away to their homo. No
wonder their eyes filled with tears and
their lips quivered with sorrow as they
tugged hard to get him out Of the sight Of
those who carelessly beheld his shame.
Yet what OF itf Why say anything
about it? Only loving wife and mother
in tears and agony-children in rags and
starving for bred-a soul trembling on the
