rest i'm New York.
"A prima donna in distress put in an
appearance in New York police court
on Saturday. Her history is highly ro-
mantle: "During the year 1868. Deme-
ito Agricoff Slavinsky, director of the
Imperial Opera at St Petersburg, was
travelling in the Province of Odessa, Rus
sia. While sojourning in . small town
he attended concert given for the ben-
eft of the peor of the place. Among
the artistes who assisted " at the Fair
was q beautiful and interesting young
lady named Nedefa Savinsky. The
strength end richness of the girls voice
at once attracted the admiration of the
impressario. He made proposals to her
on the spot to accompany him TO St. Pc
tersburg. She accepted his offer and went
with him to the capital. Here, during
the next winter, she was oil the rage"
attracting general admiration. After a
long season, Slavinsky prevailed upon
her to sing in the United S ates, in con
junction with other members of troupe
which be had formed. They arrived in
New York in August of 1869. The first
appearance of the lady was at Steinwsy
Hall. Her debut was signal success.
While here her many charms of voice and
person impressed the susceptible heart of
Russian nobemsn, r ogosinns by name,
who made to her an offer of his hand
She accepted, and the couple secretly
left for Philadelphia, where they
we're united in the bonds of mat
rimony by the Msyor of that city.
Her conduct Of course resulted in the
annulment of her contract with the man
aqer, causing him to wind up his season
of opera at the New York Thester some
what nuexpeetedly. The manager at
once instituted legal proceedings against
the lady and ner husband He appeared
In court, the parties having been arrested
on warrant Issued in September last,
and stated that the lady in her Il ght had

Communism-As Social Abomination

From the Springfield (Mass.l Republican,
The Oneida IN. ~ Communists, who
have branch establishment at Wsllipg-
ford, Connecticut, and who are we'll
known for their success in making Social
ism pecuniarily a success, are getting
ambitious of making converts, We judge
A. any rate, their head man, John q
Hoyes, the life and brains of this peculiar
organizslion-as Brigham Yonng is Of
Mornonism--has written book giving
history of Communism in the United
States, and setting forth with greater
plainness than ever before the belief of
himself and his followers.
The foundation stone of the com mum
ity is the apostolic idea of having "all
things in common" including persons as
well as property, and this idea is thor
ougbly carried out at Oneida, while we
are informed that the Connecticut esteb-
lshment is one with the other socially
and financially" No such distinction as
husband and wife, parents and chidren,
are recognized by the community, but ell
are considered as belonging TO one an
other, relations being regulated only by
the attraction that one has to another.
Among the articles of the creed that legit.
imately follow this fundamental belief,
are that shame is sin; holiness comes
iirst, and then free love; the abolition
of marriage and the substitution of CON-
munisn is Christian duty, and so on.
This statement of the belief of the
Oneida Communists is no new thing,
and is only worthy of notice from the
broadness and frsnkness with which it is
now stated by the leader of the Commu-
nifty and the evident attempt to attract
the attention oi the public by means of
his book. 1t is also worthy of note that
the people protesting and practicing
these principles-ss much viler and more
demoralizidg than Mormonism as can
be imagned-are subject TO no molests-
ton, either legal or unlawful, though
closely surrounded by neighbors to whom
their belief is only less abhorreut than
their actions. If any great sssignation
establishment like this had been set up
without the pretense of religious belief
10 buoy it up, it would have been dis.
posed of pretty quickly.
But Americans are very lenient 10 all
forms snd phases of religious belief, aud
there is no denying that it is a much |
better way than to initiate the religious
prosecutions of the Old World and the
sixteenth century. But it is equally evi
dent that this tolerance permits some
strange anomalies both of government,
and social life; and it is hardly to be
wondered at that foreigners who can not |
be expected to know us thoroughly some
times get wrong impression of us when
told that we permit the Oneida Com
muuists to flourish in the heart of New
York and allow the Mormons out in
Utah to have as many wives as they
want, though everybody else is strictly
limited to one.

the train left for Calvert with these, the
first Mongolans ever brought to the State.
The snccess of this experiment will be
watched with anxiety by a very large
proportion of the people Of the State, and
il is probable other contracts will at OF ce
be entered into for a further supply.
The cost per head for bringing them
from California to Galveston is set down
at $55. II they prove industrious and
doclIe, as it is confidently expected they
will, the recently enfranchised will
find it to their advantage to escbew D ,li-
tics, and return to the more honorable
pursuits to which they have been &C.
customed, or they will very soon lad out
the Inconvenience resulting from want
of work and consequent scarcity of pro-
visions.
WHAT THE NEWS" SAYS.
Most of these Chinese have, as we
hear, been in the United Ststes for q
year or two, and have worked on the
line of the Pacific railroad, but in com
ing to Texas the experiment of their
utility as laborers is 70 be made under
different auspices from those under which
it has heretofore been conducted. Their
engagement, we believe, extends over a
period of two or three years, and with
the sultry heats of the present summe
we shall be better able to see how far
they are fitted to take the place of the
negro. If it shall appear that they can
be profitably worked under the full blaze
of a Southern sun, the labor problem
will be in fair way of finding at least
partial aolution-using the word partial
because while profit is the main it is not
the sole element to be taken into con-
sideration in estimating the worth OF a
labor system. Convic's, for instance,
may, and often are, worked with profit;
but, for oil that, convict labor is not only
precarious but q highly undesirable re-
course. In like manner the Chinese
may, as mere laborers, do well, and yet
in other respects be but doubtful &C.
QUESTION. We do not say that they will /;
the experiment is yet to be made, and
till made it would be improper to VEN
ture a decisive opinion; but we allude
TO this matter as one to be taken into
account in forming any estimate of this
new and strange move.
II, beyond being good lsborers now.
the Chinese show themselves able to en-
dure the sun as well, or nearly as we'll, as
the negro, and if, furthermore, no objec
tion shall appear to them on other ac-
counts, it is evident that a tremendous
step will be taken in history. How far
that step will be Of ultimate benefit must
depend on some circumstances that can
not now be very well fores,en. 1t has
been frequently said that the large negro
population of the South deferred Euro
pesn immigration, and the question may
be asked if, as the negro goes ont and
the ChinamsH comes in, large Mongo
lian population may not be equally
potent in keeping out white immigration?

gerated alarm which some people are
trying to disseminate in reference to
coming "psnics and failures" The

if gold went down to par it would cause
no further disturbance of their business
The year 1869 was one OF average pros
perity 10 ell departments of trade, and it
profits have not been so large, it is owing
to the fact that merchants and dealers
have not brought down their expenses in
