An Inside View of the situation-Chi-
nese Causes for Complaints Against
Christians-Hatred and Distrust OF
| Foreigners.
A gentleman at Kin Kiang, China,
In letter written to friend in Wash
ington city, and who has good opportu-
mites for knowing "the situation" in
that country, gives a circumstantial
account of the difficulties between the
Roman Catholics and the Chinese.
He says:
"The gentry dislike all foreigners,
and most intensely they dislike ali
propagation of religion. The reasons
are endless. will name only few of
them. We have forced ourselves on
an unwilling country we are fecre,
rapacious money-getters; we have en-
croached on and subjected to our sway
other countries, and may do the same
here; we have brought opium and
forced that, till now it is killing them
and eating away the energies of the
land; We have Inundated their emper-
or, and we are pressing on for more
and more. Now the hatred of relig-
ious teachers is increased. because
such preaching to convert people to
a true Gas we think faith is too disin-
terested thing for them to compre-
bend. They think we mean something
covert; and why should they think
otherwise, seeing that we make gain
out of every missionary row that takes
places Theysee nothing but revolution
in our religion, and, alas for them,
Christianity is revolutionary They
drove out missionaries from Nanchang-
fee, the capital of Kiang-si, and the re
suit is, gunboats of the French in the
Poyang lake, demand of the French
minister for 5000 taels, which was
paid, and a coming reinstatement of
the hated missionaries in Nanebang.
They drove them out of Marking, and
the result is-gunboats, the French
minister, degradation of their own gen
try, and some proclamations that Cath
ohcs must be protected. [ am not Ger
tain whether fine was or was not i'm
posed Count Rochechonart paid a
visit to Hankow and made threat to
push on further with troops, and de-
manded a heavy payment of 5000
taels, think it was, and all was peace.
Many of these rows were away from
treaty ports.

AThing of Bea
From the N. Y. Evening Post.

| A work of art in the precious metals
is on exhibition at Tiffany's in Union
| Square which may be truly described
as magnificent 1t is an epergne. three
and a half feet in height, of silver
richly set off with ornamentation of
gold, and weighing nearly eight hum
dred ounces. A minute account of it
would involve the use of technicahties
that would be understood only by
those skilled in the decorative ar is.
but a general description, together
with the circumstances that led to it's
manufacture, will be interesting to
all.
At the four angles of the base are the
figures of Peruvian laborers, "peons -
in the country in their native custume.
| with picks and spades at hand The
first panel of the base has the mono
gram III. NJ, the next boS-rel5ef of
the distant Arequipa, with a surveying
party in the foreground, on the third
panel locomotive rushes through the
arch, and the fourth has the Inscription
"A Enrique Meiggs, recuerdo disus
Amigos, Passageros en- Ell vapor Pana-
ma, ensu viaje Mollendo. Lima,
Enere LIST, 1871"
The names of the donors are engray
ed on eight shields suspended above
the panels, while the whole is sur
mounted by the genius of Peru, noble
figure, bearing in one hand rudder
as the symbol of guidance, and in the
other a winged wheel typical of pro-
gress, with the rising sun at her feet.
Upon the occasion of the opening of
the Peruvian railway from Mollendo to
Arequipa, Mr.. Henry Meiggs, the con-
tractor, chartered one of the Pacific
Mail steamships to convey his personal
friends to the former place, the termin-
us on the sea coast. The officers of the
government were conveyed in the Pc
ruvian men-of-war The guests of
Mr.. Meiggs, wishing to recognize his
hospitality in a becoming manner,
commissioned the well-known house of
Ribon & Munoz to order suitable
testimonial, which should at once ex-
press their gratitude and commemorate
the event. The order was given only
two months ago to Tiffany & Co., and
the result is specimen of handicraft
of which the city may be proud
This splendid trophy of one of the
greatest victories of peace will remain
on exhibition at Tiffany's for few days,
when it will be sent to it's destination,
and Peru, so long celebrated for it's ores
of silver, will be made richer by one OF
the most beautiful works in that metal
that has ever been fashioned on this
continent.

A Distinguished Emigrant,
From the Lynchburgh Virginian, June II

From the Lynchburgh virginian June 7th
We announced yesterday the arrival
at Richmond of Hon. Mr.. Broughan, of
England. On Monday evening this
gentleman came to Lynchburg, and
spent the day yesterday in the city,
stopping at the Norvell House. We
had the pleasure of an interview with
him and found him to be most affa-
BILE, agreeable and intelligent gentle
man. Mr.. Brougham, and nephew of
the late Henry Lord Brougham and
Vau, the great English statesman and
writer. Until recently he has been in
the army, and held the rank of Major
in the regiment of which the Prince of
Wales is Colonel nominally. Major
Brougham sold out his commission
three months ago for the purpose of
transferring his home to this country.
He will leave this morning for south
western Virginia for the purpose of in
speeding the lands there with view to
investment and permanent location. He
wishes to purchase lands for grazing
purposes, and believes from the infer-
nation he has that Pulaski county will
suit him better than any other. It is
his intention to go extensively into the
cattle business. Major Brougham is
much pleased with what he has seen OF
Virginia, and thinks that he will like
his future home If so, he expects to
be instrumental in inducing a number
of his countryn1en to come to Virginia.
He will bring his servants and laborers
with him. Such gentlemen will al
ways find a hearty and cordial welcome
to Virginia, and we hope that many
more will follow the example of the
gentleman now among Us. 1t may not
be generally known that the Broughams
are related to Patrick Henry, General
Joseph E. Johnston, the Southhalls OF
Albemarle, and many of the distinguish
ed citizens of Virginia of the past and
present times.

Concerning HOLSTERS.

Three wholesale dealers in Holsters
average, about $4,000 daily, and one
firm keeps ten vessels constantly en-
ployed in bringing them to market.
The demand is brisk from all sections
of the country and the only difficulty
experienced is getting them xrick
enough. The Holsters run very small
not averaging over two pounds each
They are brought mostly from the
coast OF Main in smacks" which are
fitted up with well-rooms, though
considerable quantities come from the
South Shore, Plymouth, Duxbury, &c.
Prices do not vary much from last sea-
son, though, with a scarcity, they are
tending up.
Last year the supply was abundant
and the demand all that could be de-
sired. This is usually the busy season
in catching and canning" them, but
thus far there has been great scarcity
of them; two or three of the largest
factories in Maine are shut up, and
| others only running on short time
Thus far the catch has only been about
two thirds that of last season at the
same time, and lobstermen think the
seasons work will not foot up more
than one half. This scarcity of lob
sters puzzles the oldest fishermen, and
seems to be wholly uncountable. Con-
tracts that have been made cannot be
filled, and If something unforeseen does
not occur prices must advance The
Australian and California markets,
which use large quantities of canned
Holsters, are bare of supplies, and it is
with much difficulty that large orders
are filled.

Muriel.

She hath a smile sweet, my Muriel
Than sunbeams mellowing a languid wave
Within her placid motions there doth dwell
A DREAMER cadence than when waters lave
Some shadowy Shorthand, where vague breezes blow
And one great rurple-compassed star drops low.
She hath gold, bounteous hair, my Muriel
mat rlpples warm round either shell-pink ear
she hath an arm Of gracious pearIy swell,

Clipping Polish Boards and Trousers.

According to the Brestauer Zeitung,
whose authority on such matters we
cannot doubt, the Russian ukase pre-
scribing a change of costume to the
Jews in Poland has not met with as
ready obedience as was expected The
long coats have, indeed, been easily
disposed of; whenever the owners re-
fused to shorten them the police oblig-
lngly took the task off their hands.
The curls have undergone similar treat
ment. Bnt as the myrmi dons of the
law are not skillful in handling the nee
die as the shears, the trousers, have
for the most part remained short as
before. The provision exciting most
resistance IS that ordering the chin TO
be shaved BARRIERS work seems a tick
lish matter for policemen to undertake;
the Jews, on the other hand, venerate
their boards almost as a sacred thing /;
they would as soon think of cutting
their Threats as their boards. The
Warsaw police still allows the latter,
stunning an application Of force as apt
to produce disturbances but in pro-
vincial towns crusade has been open
ed against them.
At Gorca the police began the cam
pa1gn by an experiment on an old man
of about eighty, who was perforce
spoiled of his beard in the public
market-place. The old mans cries
speedily attracted numbers of fellow
creedsmen anxious to rescue their
Nestor. No better opportunity could
have been desired. As fast as the men
arrived they were seized, forced into
chairs, and shaved in rather too hur-
ried and rough manner to be pleasant.
The lamentations of the helpless vic
TINS are described as touching. The
authorities are, however, nightly
pleased with their success, and are
said to intend adopting the same meth
! cd in other towns, until the law impos-
ed by the paternal Government shall
| have been everywhere complied with.
