Interesting About China
men.

We clip the following Interest
ing sketch from the San Francisco
Bulletin: 0Qp
Aside from prejudice, which pro-
ceeds from ignorance, there is
nothing in the habits or customs
of the Chinese calculated to injure
the business or morals of any in
telligent American community.
Their bitterest opponents credit
them with being industrious, In
telligent, and frugal" They are
remarkably sober. There are not
half a dozen cases on record OF
their being drunk. They are GER
tainly clean in their personal hab-
its, do not interfere with their
neighbors' business, are not quar-
relsome, and pay their debts with.
atpunctuality that might be imi-
lated with advantage by other
people. They are as religious in
their way as the majority of the
inhabitants of this city, and their
system of marriage, if not in ac-
C, ,rdance with our notions, is not
much worse than Mormonism and
Free Love. it can scarcely be, be-
Iieved that 4 $500 of them would
be employed as domestic servants
in some of the most respectable
families, If their conduct was not
as good as that of other servants.
They are very jealous In their eff
forts to learn our habits and GUS
toms. Hundreds of them attend
our Sunday schools, and seek to
drink from the fountain Of living
Truth. Many of them attend the
evening class III our public schools, I
and nearly two hundred Of them
employ private teachers to learn
our language and literature:
Several among them speak Eng
lish. French, Spanish and German,
with much fuency. Can such a
people be an injury to our coun-
try? Till they got mixed up
with politics, there was little OBJ
lection to them. In early days
they were treated with considera-
ton, and were invited to form a
part in public professions in this
city. Even now, the very men
who abuse them from the stump
to please certain class of voters,
employ them in their homes in
preference TO the sisters, dangh-
ters or wives of said voters.

10 the early part of November
a little German girl in Brooklyn,
Cuyahoga county, o., took sick
with the lock jaw, and rumor says
that in a few. days she was thought
dead and was buried. On the
evening of her burial, the mother,
for some reason, was led to the
grave, and, with her ear pressed
close to the ground, thought she
heard noise and believing her
child to be movingin in its coffin she
Immediately procured a spade and

Difficulties Of Southern
Planters

The following extract from the
Columbia Is. c. Phonic will af.
ford those at the North, who are
disposed todO US justice, some idea
OF the difficulties Southern plan
tiers have TO contend with in their
efforts to preserve friendly relations
with the blacks:
In many portions of the State,
a condition of affairs exists that
does not promise much for next
year. Governor Scott's incendi-
ary proclamations and the speech
es OF Radical demagogues are do
ing their work, and we shall deem
the State fortunate If it escapes
scenes of violence that go beyond
mere individual affairs. Ii be-
comes our duty TO caution the
mischief l.makers--official and un-
otficial--against their mad sugges-
tions. We learn thatin Abbeyille
especially, excitement exists. On
last Saturday we were told, that
Mr.. Hoge addressed large crowd
of colored men in Abbeyille, and
advised them not TO work for the
whites unless they received as wa.
ges balfthey made and their week
ly rations. Tfis, it is said, made
them wild. They over-ran Able
vile Court House for two days,
and on Monday over one hundr d
of Theses excited colOred 3personS
accompanied Hoge and Gulfin to
Hoge's depot, where they met
quite a reinforcement and called
on Guffin fer speech He gave
them few words, and in conclu-
sion said ''ln three feet of where
1 stand, the noble Randolph was
killed and his death should be a.
venged by you" Much other in
cendiary language was used, but
this was enough. Guffin then
came 10 this city, and the negroes
returned to the Court House,
where they held a meeting and it
is said, arranged programme Of
violence.
This is the information which
comes to us from reliable source.
Now, we would ask this ques.
tion of the people OF the North +;
Suppose a South Carolinian should
60 to Massachusetts and make it
his business to collect together
the factory operatives in public
me stings and harangue them after
this fashion, how long would the
people OF Massachusetts stand it
IF they rose in rebellion against
such mischievous interloper aid

many Massachusetts Radicals
would complain of his treatment

A Bit of Advice.

Do not estimate the worth of
young man by his ability to tall
soft nonsense, nor by the length o
his moustache.
Do not imagine that an extra rib
bon tied about the neck can rene
dy the defect of q soiled collar OF
untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by Ia
Dor, do not envy the lily fingers Of
Miss Fuss and Feathers, whose
mother works in the kitchen while
the daughter lounges in the par
lor
lfa dandy, with a cigar between
his fingers, asks you if smoking is
offensive to you, tell him, emphat-
ically, Yes" The habit should be,
even though the odor may not.
Do not waste your tears on the
imaginary sorrows Of Alonzo and
Melissa, nor the trialsf the dime
novel heroines, but seek rather to
alleviate the woes Of the suffering
ones on earth.
Ifyour dress is inconveniently
long, aud a gentleman steps upon
it, don't be angry, but meekly beg
his pardon, as you ought, Always
cherish a partiality for the smell of
dish water--it is more conductive
to health, and far less expensive
than "Boquet of Eden
