DEFoRMITY FASHION ABLE.-Sir William
Hamilton, in his Lectures on Logic, quotes
the Indian fable of nation of hunchbacks,
among whom, once upon time. appeared
god-young, beautiful, and of consum-
mate symmetry. This god, they add, en-.
tered the capital; he was forthwith sur
rounded by crowd of natives -
His figure appeared to them extraordi-
nary laughter, hooting and taunts mani
tested their establishment; and they were
about to carry their outrages still further
had not one Of the inhabitants (who had
undoubtedly seen other mem, in order to
snatch him from the danger, suddenly cried
out. "My friends! What are we going
to do? Let us not insult this miserable
monstrosity. If Heaven has bestowed or
us the general gift of beauty-if it has
adorned our backs with a mount of flesh
let lis, with pious gratitude, repair to the
temple, and render our acknowledgment to
the immortal gods" And the Scotch
philosopher adds-"This fable is the histo
ry of human vanity. Every nation admires
its own defects, and contemns the opposite
qualities in its neighbors. To succeed in
a country, one must be bearer of the ma
tional hump Of the people among whom he
sojourns."

The .ssinfic Exodus to. the T.. 8.

Still they come. Already on the Pacific
slope there are some one hundred thousand
Cinnamon. On Thursday last twelve
thousand Cinnamon arrived at San Fran
cisco in sailing vessels Silver is being
found in large quantities in the White
Pine district. Chinese labor will, in con-
sequence, be more in demand than ever,
1t is not too much to say that in ten years
we shall have several millions of Chinese
on the Pacific slope. They are hardy
industrious, thrifty people, and, spite Of
their religious and social customs, they
will help largely to develop the resources
of those immense regions which lie west
of the Rocky Mountains. The vast i'm
migration of Chinese into this country is
pregnant with important results. 1t can
not fail to tell in the long run nightly for
good or evil on our destiny. The tide Of
immigration has changed its course. From
Asia, the cradle of the race, it has in all the
past moved westward. Now, for the first
time in history, it is taking an eastern
direction. The thousands from China will
soon become millions. Japan will initiate
the example Of her neighbor. 1t will not
be otherwise with India. Unless we great
ly mistake, this exodus from Asia brings
with it the settlement of the negro ques-
ton it will doubtless also give birth to
others.-Y. Y Herald.

Tennessee Election.
HIS OPINION OF GENERAL GRANT.


EX-President johnson arrived in w ash.
ington Sunday evening, and was at once
peunced upon by special correspondents.
The correspondent of the New York Herald
sends long account of an interview, from
which we take the following extract:
Correspondent-What do you think will
be the result of the contest in Tennessee ?
Andy Johnson think Senter will be
elected. Thousands who remained quiet
before are now actively at work in the
State. Thousands who kept away from
the polls arc now making themselves heard,
and are determined upon being heard, if
they be not allowed to vote. They will
talk and talk until they make public SEN
timent unanimous for justice and fair play.
That is what is being done in Tennessee
now. Even old Brownlow is coming
around, wishing to be on the winning side
and seeing the change coming. You no.
tice he opposes further prescription. He
does this otfrom principle, but from poll
cy. tits precisely the same way in Virgin
ia and other Southern States. tell you,
sir, if this country is to be kept from des-
potisn, anarchy OF Imperialism, the nucleus
has to come from the South, when restored.
1t will be small at first, but mark me, sir,
rhis fhe had an idea in his head, but he
has not: He has no political creed at all.
l would rather have good hereto than
man without any faith. would place
more dependence on such man. AS I
said before he is a mere incident. There
has been a great social upheaval and
Grant is left on the top and thinks there is
something in him. 1t is precisely like a
volcanic disturbance The natural con.
dition of the earth is broken up, strata is
broken through, things are displaced and
turned upside down, and what should be
at the bolt; IN is thrown high up. That is
just Grants case. Why, Ben Butler had a
wonderfully correct idea of Grant He
used to come to see me much at one
time, and expressed the profoundest con-
tempt for Grant. His estimate of Grant
was about the same as my own. He
thought Grant could be made to do any
thing, that he could be made complete
tool, and that if he desired he could have
himself invited to Grants house. 1t hap
pened precisely so, afterward, just as But
Ter boosted. You remember Butler was in
vited to Grants house, and it was brought
about by Butler himself Butler under
stands Grant thoroughly have no hest
tation in declaring that Grant is a
mean, avaricious, cunning spiteful man
"a complete bundle of petty jealous
les, spitcs and lies. He has no courage
made him fairly quail before my glance
at that Cabinet meeting, when I asked
him about that famous correspondence
concerning Stanton. Iasked him question
after question, and he quailed. When
finished he stood up, took his hat in his hand
and in mean, sneaking way, said, Gen
tlemen, have you any more questions to
ask 2" and skunk out of the room. | con-
vcted him oflying and cowardice then, and
you remember all about it, sir, for you pub
lished it at the time
The ExPresident said great many
other things spicy and interesting, but as
the hour is So late am obliged to break
off

W. ich the fruit yielding individual shows,
yet no blossoms put forth in the spring.
A remarkable patent has been applied
for, and will he introduced to the fruit
growing world in few months, which
will astonish horticulturists. 1t is dis
coyery Of an application by which the pear

ing at very early age, and kept loaded
with fruit steadily, year after year. The
principle by which this result is produced
we are not at liberty tC make known, but
that it is correct we have the best of evil
dence. There are now a large number of
trees in full bloom in the pear and apple
department, which never showed the sign
OF flower till this application was made.
To prove the correctness Of the principle,
any tree in the pear or apple line, of four
or five years OF age or upwards, which has
never blossomed, can be made to show
blossoms on one half of the head of the
tree while none appear on the other half
This proof of the efficacy of this treat
ment is on hand. The application is not
in the slightest degree injurious to the tree,
as its continued state on high health, under
the yearly yield oflarge crops off fruit dem
onstrates. Any fruit grower can make the
application. This novel discovery enables
us to get the fruit lis soon as the tree is
large enough to carry bushel of it, and
that would be the case at five or six
years old at the most We shall be able
to lay before our readers the modus oper-
andi of this pear and apple producing
agent, as soon as the patent is obtained
from Washington. We learn that the
Commissioner recognizes its great value,
and the novelty of the invention West

AHAnronp FRIEND AMONG THE INDIANS

A HARTFORD FRIEND AMONG THE INDIANS.
We take the following extract from let
ter from Edward Painter, Indian Agent at
Nebraska, from the Baltimore Sum- Friend
Painter is known to many of our readers, as
he residedformany years Mt and near FalIston,
in this county. The San says:
Indian Agent Painter of the Nebraska
reservation, writes as follows on his arrival
at his post-a new style of language TO be
employed among the people who have charge
of our Indian relations
II am called major; the Indians bestowing
that title upon the incumbent of the office, the
government am told, also assigning it to the
agent of the reservation. l do not expect,
however, to avail myself of the military
character, nor to use the cannon and rifles
in the block-bouse, which stands on knoll
near the agency building. l find Il field of
labor here beyond anything OF which ! had
the remotest conception, and hope honestly,
earnestly and prayertully to discharge tie
duties assigned me to the best of my ability.
The Indians appear anxious to have their
lands allotted to them in severaty, and
each to own farm in his individual right
This is one important step towards the civil
cation and the improvement of their general
condition"

seems to be the motto of Grant. He has
acted upon it Systematically. We presume
it will shortly be discovered that the new
Secretary Of the Navy was, next to the re-
firing officer, perhaps the largest p,cunary
benefactor in Philadelphia. Who is Bo-
RE was the question when Grants Cabi
net was formed. Who is Robson is the
question now.
Grants conduct is open to the seveiest
criticism. 1t is every day made more
clearly manifest that he is wholly unfit to
be President. The whole country is in
terested in his Cabinet appointments -
Not only had the Republicans right to
expect that their ablest public men would
be called take part in the councils of the
President, but the entire people looked to
see that done. The government of the
United States can not be successfully con-
Quoted by u set of wealthy nobodies who
have never had experience in public af-
fairs. Grants conduct is not only an out
rage upon the party which elected him,
but something which very properly calls
for universal condemnation. For the first
time in the history of this government
President has prostituted his high posi-
ton to the most disgyaceful nopotism and
favoritisn.-- Grant utterly ignores the
old Democratic rule of Andrew Jackson
which made the tests for Office holding
honesty and capablity," and uses his
patronage to pay of his debts and to en-
rich an army of poor relations. Such spc-
taele is humiliating in the extreme, and
causes every patriotic citizen Of the Uni
ted States to blush for his country.-Lan-

Poor DAYS In LANCAsHIRr.- iEr Wan
chester mill owners have petitioned 10
British government to assist them with money
for the production of cotton in India. Dur
inc the progress of the American rebellion
England received cotton from fifty.one new
fields other than American, and mostly In
dian. The working OF the material was vast
ly detrimental to the health of the people en-
gagged in it, while the manufactured fabrics
were of the coarsest and, consequently,
cheapest kind. A few days ago ship clear
ed at Savannah for Liverpool with three
thousand eight hundred and thirty ba'es and
bags of uplands and Sea Island staple of the
real "old Sort" valued at over half million
of dollars. This supply viii afford hope to
the British cotton men, as il will be worth
ten times the amount Of the fiossy, dusty
stuff received from India. Manchester has
little reason to thank Liverpool for the Ala
bama, but our national resources are i'm
mense.-N Y Herald

A TOUCHING SToRY.-The Hon. A. II.
Stephens. of Georgia, in recent address,
at meeting at Alexandria, for the benefit
of the Orphan Asylum and Free School of
that city, related the following incident:
"a poor little boy on a cold night, with
no home nor roof to shelter his head, no
paternal or maternal guardian or guide to
protect or direct him on his way,
reached at nightfali the home of wealthy
planter who took him in, fed and lodged
him, and sent him on his way with bless
ing. These kind attentions cheered his
heart and inspired him with fresh courage
to battle with the obstacles of life. Years
rolled round; Providence led him on, and
he reached the legal profession; his host
had died; the cormorants that prey on the
substance Of man had formed a conspiracy
to get from the widow her estate. She sent
for the nearest counsel to commit her cause
to him, and that counesl proved to be the
orphan boy long before welcomed and en-
tcrtaincd by her deceased husband. The
stimulus Of warm and tenacious graft
tude was now added to the ordinary mo-
tive connected with the profession. He
undertook her cause with a will not easy to
be resisted; he gained it; the widows cs-
tates were secured to her in perpetuity,"
and Mr.. Stephens added, with an emphasis
of emotion that sent an electric thrill
throughout the house, THAT boy stands
