Steamboat Accident.

Steamer Alliance struck on rock when
going into her dock this afternoon, at dead
low water, causing her to leak three hundred
gallons per minute. The steamers pumps
with the assistance of one OF the steam fire
engines, freed her of water, of which there
was two feet in the hold, and wrecking steam
er Ralph Pass is along side keeping her free
until Tomorrow, when she will go on to the
railway. Most of her cargo has been dis
charged uninjured, and all will probably be
so.
The water has not been known to be so low
for years.

The Funeral OF Mr.. Lafiln.

The Funeral OF Mr.. Latin.
The funeral of the late John B. Laflin
whose life was taken by assassination, took
place at the Methodist Episcopal church in
Hallowell yesterday afternoon, the services
beginning at o'clock. The church was COM
pletely filled; business in the city was almost
universally suspended, and Sabbath still
ness pervaded the streets.
The services we're begun by a beautiful and
appropriate hymn sung by a quintette OF
voices. The pastor, the Rev. c. Fuller, then
read the first ten verses of the XXXVII
Psalm, also the XXXIX Psalm and the XXI
chapter of Revelations. Rev. Mr.. Heath,
pastor of the Free viii Baptist church, then
announced the lO63d hymn, which was appro-
priately sung. The pastor then made brief
and affecting address, eminently suited to the
occasion. At the close of his remarks, which
were listened to intently by the large audi
ence, devout prayer was offered by Rev. A.
r. Crane, pastor of the Baptist church, in
which the unhappy man who committed the
awful deed was commended to the infinite
mercy of his Maker.
At the close of the prayer an anthem was
touchingly rendered by the choir. The bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Heath.
The temperance society of which the de-
ceased was an active and honored member,
attended on the occasion, clothed in regalia
The occasion was one of deep and universal
sadness

1t affords great pleasure to state, for the ben
eft of the afflicted that | have been acquainted
with DIR. LIGHTHILL for some ten rs,-that he is
a regular educated German Physician, and is
skilled in the treatment of the various forms in
which Catarrh effects the head, the ears, eyes and
throat, having made the sub ect specially during
that time.
A member of my own family was relieved OF in
cpent chronic deafness during his last visit to this
place, in a few minutes, and without pain.
+. BISCHOFF, NJ. d.
From W. r. Smith, ESQ.,, Cashier First Nat. Bank,
Augusta, Maine.
DIR. Lighthill-Dear Sir: Some few years since,
my son, Geo. r. Smith, was placed under your care,
for treatment, for growing deafness, which threat
ened the gradual and entire loss of hearing. When.
ever he was attacked with slight cold, his hearing
would become imperfect, and at times quite alarm
ing. Renewed attacks continued to Increase the
difficulty, and always left him in worse condition.
take great pleasure in saying that your treatment
entirely relieved him; he has since had no return
of the difficulty, and think him entirely restored.
] am happy to give this unsolicited testimony to
skill and success, so far son is concern
ed, who have no doubt, but for your treatment,
would have been entirely deprived of hearing
Respectfully yours,
WIN. r. SMITH.

JOHN BROWN.

When John Brown was dragged
half dead from the Jail 10 the court
house, and then again from the jail to
the gallows, there we're not many who
recognized in the man anything better
than a foOlhaFdy fanaticism. Liberal
persons il Europe spoke Of him with
respectful tenderness, but here the
best his sWiftest friends could do was
to frame elaborate sentences Of exten-
uatiOn. The Rebellion came, and with
sort Of poetic justice it came to be-
stow upon John Brown q good histor-
ical reputation. The facts are the
same, but the smoke and fame of bait
tie have given them a new color. The
cruel Tigor which was to conserve and
consolidate the Slave Power for anOth-
er generation has so swept it from the
face of the earth and the eyes Of man
kind that hardly a vestige of it re-
mains. SO, again, we notice that the
Senate of Kansas has ordered the por
trait of J ohm BraWn to be hung In the
Capitol of the State, side by side with
the portrait Of Senator Lane. He who
is able to look keenly into the future,
understanding the aspect which Sla-
very will assume In the eyes Of the
next age, will understand the place
which the name Of John BrORn will
take and hold in our annals. His story
may beco ne, to a certain extent, tinted
by mystical traditions, but his fame
will lose nothing By that. He may re-
ceive greater honor than that to which
he is entitled, but Of neglect and con-
tempt he is in no dangeT-M Z. Trib-

ton, amusement. or profit Of the vete-
rams. Societies for affording pecuni-
airy aid to widows are active all over
China. They are founded on the ma
tiOnal sentiment of the disreputabIe-
ness Of second marriages by women.
Burial Societies are a sort of Joint
stock speculation in England, or at
best an outcome Of Cooperation.
One of the most popular Of the Chi

which creates a fund TO provide oof-
fms for the poor, 10 carry collins left
fer any reason by the way to suitable
places of interment, and to collect
and re-bury human remains exposed
by the weather or by violence. Chari-
table associations provide tea for trav-
Olers on the highways, and pay the ex.
penses Of poor scholars going to stand
their examinations. Public-spirited
people combine to keep the highways
and bridges in repair, aud TO preserve
the National monuments. SO fitted
for every kind Of labor aud Of busi-
ness, and so temperate, Industrious,
and economical, are the Chinese, that,
In competition with them the Jews,
Europeans, Parsees, and Americans,

pressed as they are by the Dutch in
the Island Of Java, with taxes, lines,
aud disabilities. they have obtained
almost monopoly Of the products
of the island, and are the life and
soul of the commerce, manufactures,
agriculture, finance, aUd administra-
ton Of the country. They are the
farmers Of the public revenue. The
large coffee and sugar plantations are
theirs. In their hands are the pot
teries. the distilleries, and the manu-
faetories Of metal, cloth, and wood.
What the Jews have been all over the
world in Banking. the Chinese newt
ably and easily become in general COM
merce and in mechanical and agTicul-
tural industry, wherever they are al
lowed 10 settle and are letalOne. They
get rich off Of gold diggings that
Americans starve on. The world can't
show such Woolen work as the Chi
nese-made blankets of California and
Oregon. The overseerB Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad across the Sierra
Nevadas have declared that Chinese
can in a given time drill more rock
and move more dirt than any equal
number Of other people, European or
American. At the same time the
men, as we'll as the women, are match
less as nurses for babies, IS chamber
maids, (2) washers and ironers, cooke,
and gardeners. English machinista, ae-
knowledged to be at the head Of their
art, have to give place to this people
in a fair competition. The British
owners Of the large machiue-shOp at
Singapore have gradually removed
their English wOrkmen. and replaced
them with Chinese, because these were
more docile, sober and enduring, and
were equally skillful.
But enough. Texas has three hum
dred Chinese. Let her foster them.
