Be true to yourself and Godi
Ere you build your house mark we'll the spot
Test all the ground, and build you not,
On the sand of the shaking sod.

Plant firmly the outer wall;

Like an open turret toward the sky,
Through which heavens dews may fall
Let this be the room of soul, young man
When shadows shall herald care.

A life hat outlives the breath;

Their works do follow them, i" said the Lord

Let your title deeds be clear and bright,

This business is very different
from the Coolie trade, which
has been reprehended by the
civilized world, and is prohibit-
ed by an act of Congress. The
contractors, who have been ex-
tensively engaged In this busi-
ness, and are willing to embark
on a still larger scale, obti il
their emigrants from the inte-
ri0r and agricultural districts of
China, and so far from employ
ing any violence or deceit to
induce them to emigrate, are
annoyed by the opportunities
of these, who beg to go. There
are few, indeed, of the laboring
class who would not leave that
country to come to America if
their passage were secured.-
They are willing to bind them
selves, and the contractors will
guarantee the fulfillment of
their pledge to work at a rate,
to be agreed on, until they re-
imburse all the advances made
for their transportation. In fine
the whole system of the Chi
nese emigration Is arranged in
strict consistency with acts Of
Congress which have been pass
ed in regard TO Earopean emf
grants. The right of these par-
ties to bind ,ham selves, anItlle
validity of such contracts pt ia-
Dor, to reimburse parties afford
ing them the means of trans
portation, has never been ques-
toned. So far from requiring
and special laws to protect
them from fraud andimposition
in such contracts, Gen. Miles
assures us that the Chinese are
more than ordinarily Shrewd in
making a bargain and taking
care of themselves. All that
they ask is protection when
they come into our country,
and the enjoyment ofthe rights
Which have been promised to
them under the Burlingame
treaty. ~
Though the mission and pur-
poses of Gen. Miles were seri-
ously interfered with and dis
couraged by Boutwell's letter
to the Collector of New Or
leads, he had every assurance
that if proper security be afford
ed against any attempts on the
part Of the Government to pre-
vent the IL PRODUCTION of these
laborers, the fnll demand of the
South could be in a few years
satisfied, at rates which would
render it the cheapest and best
labor in the world, and thus add
enormously to the productive
wealth and improvement of our
section N. @. Times.

RETURN AND REPORT OF THE AGENT OF THE
MEMPHIs CONVENTION. a

We had the pleasure yester-
day, of meeting and conversing
with Gen. w. r. Miles, who
has just returned from Califor-
MIA, to which State he was sent
by the Immigrant and Labor
Convention held at Memphis
last July, for the purpose of lis
vestigating andreporting upon
Chinese labor, its adaptability
to the wants of the South and
the practicability of its cheap
introduction.
Gen. Miles is we'll known to
our citizens as a former distin-
guished lawyer and merchant
ofthis city. Having performed
a gallant and conspicuous part
in the late war, he has, since
its close, settled upon his large
cotton estate in the Yazoo bot
tom, and has been one of our
most successful cultivators.-
Deputed by the Convention to
proceed on the mission relative
to Chinese labor, he left Mem
phis on the 9th of July by the
Pacific Railroad, arrived safely
at San Francisco, devoted one
mouth to travelling, examining
the country, and observing and
studying the people and their
institutions, and returned in
one month and twenty days
from the days OF his departure.
AT the time of our interview
with Gen. Miles, it was his sew
enth day from San Francisco.
He is now at Vicksburg, and
will promptly furnish the pub
lie with q report of his views
and conclusions on the subject
of his mission.
In advance of this report We
can state that the General con-
firmed the opinions of all intel
ligent and impartial persons
who have visited California, aS
to the great value, superiority |
and cheapness Of Chinese labor. |
An active, sagacions and in
quisitive gentleman, he made
a thorough and minute exami-
nation into the manners, hab-
its and customs of the Chinese.
He visited the various estab-
lishments in which they are en-
ployed, the woolen factories,
the machine shops, the foun-
dries, the farms, the mines and
on railroads; in fine in every
department Of industry and
manufactures; and he found in
every relation and position they |
were regarded as the cheapest,
NEST reliable and trustworthy
laborers in the State. As house
servants they are esteemed as
incomparably superior to all
others in their cleanliness, do |
cility, fidelity. Their labor can
be obtained at about one-third
the rate paid for other labor. 1t
is for this reason they are per-
secuted and oppressed by GER
tain classes in California. These
classes, embracing a large num-
Der of voters, political aspirants
and party leaders, find it to-
their interest to sanction the
denunciation of the Chinese,
bnt even these admitted to-

lHe WnOle country, from
Grand Junction eastward, and
as far north as New York, is
burnt up with the long contin-
ued drouth. The most serious
effect of this unprecedented
absence of moisture is the al
most total failure of the corn
crop in certaia districts. In
East Tennesses and Virginia
this disaster is most sensibly
felt. In the region of the first.

fore tor its large production of
of this important staple, there.
will not be a third of the usual
crop, while in many parts of
Virginia it is feared that not
enough will be gathered for
next years seed. This is de-
plorable, especially in Virginia,
where the people depend so
largely on corn for the subsis-
tence of their stock. Bacon is
the principal meat food of the
people. and corn is now the in
dispensable food forth fatten-
ing Of hogs. Virginia, too, is
not favorahly situated for the
importation of produce. Her,
wheat crop has been good, and
the farmers are holding back
from shipments of their smaller
grain, intending to retain the
same to feed their hogsand cat
tie. The whole country east of
the Grand Junction looks as if
it had been swept by a sirocco.

The following is related as
the origin of the use of the this
tie as the national emblem OF
Scotland: When the Danes
invaded Scotland, they availed
themselves ofthe pitch of dark
ness ofthe night to attack the
Scottish forces unawares. In
approaching the Scottish forces
unobserved, and marching
barefooted to prevent their
tramp being heard, one of the
Danes trod upon a large prick
ly thistle, and the sharp cry OF
pain which he instinctiyely ut
tered, suddenly apprised the
Scots of their danger. They
Immediately ran to their arms,
and defeated the foe with great
slaughter. The thistle was
theneeforward adopted as the
national insignia of Scotland.

Excursions to Pekin and Batavia are not
included in the above estimate, but on the
other hand the full amount charged by the
Peninsrllar and Oriental Company to Cal
cutta, by way Of Ceylon is included. If
the Burmah route is taken, the fare will be
about the same, but if the direct line to
Singapore is taken, it will be 500 less
The estimate is based on the supposition
that the traveller will return from Delhi to
Allahabad, and proceed thence to Bombay,
instead of going on to Lahore and down
the Indus to Burachee, and thence to Bonn
bay. If the last named route is taken,
500 must be added to the amount as al
ready summed up.
The cost by the direct route between
Suez and London is given, but the tourist
will be likely to visit Palestine, CONSTANT
nople, Athens or Italy, and take look at
Central Europe. A liberal estimate for
fares in circumnavigating the globe will
make the required amount from 81, 800 to
50, 600. To this must be added the cost of
living while on shore-about the same as at
first class hotels in the United States. In
making such trip, from seventy to eighty
days will be required on shipboard, where
living is included in the fares. trip re-
quiring fifteen months time will cost from
So, 500 to SO, 800. Some tourists would I'M
doubtedly spend much more than that,
others can do it for several hundred dollars
less. Having made it, we can assure our
readers that it can be done for the sum
named which will secure good living and
attendance.

thirty-six bed-ridden. friend informs us
that thirty-six years ago she called to
see her, and she was confined to her
bed, to all appearances in the
last stages of consumption and
apparently with but few
weeks, at most, to live. Yet she has been
lingering on, and, what is more remarka-
BILE, has been afflicted with almost every
disease, contiguous or epidemic, with which
our city has been afflicted. During the
prevalence of the cholera she was one of
its subjects, but while others, hearty and
robust, were cut down, she, upon, as it
were, the very brink of the grave, lived

Cost of the Trip. Detailed by One Who
haHm ade 1t.

In his last letter to the Boston Journal,
Carleton" submits some estimates In re-
gard to the expense of travelling around
the world. We quote:
If the main route which we have indi-
Gated is followed a traveller starting from
New York in June and journeying west
ward may reach Southern Europe i'll about
twelve months, having meanwhile good
view of the old lands upon the other side
of the globe.
Full and explicit information in regard
to the cost of journey cannot be given,
but the following general statement will
enable to estimate the probable amount
required for fares at gold rates. Let it be
remembered that the statement will not
include the cost of living while on land,
neither will it include the many trifing
sums, which in the aggregate amount to a
GOOD deal piyen to porters and coolies.
