Result Of Had Example.
California encouraged her citizens

California encouraged her citizens
to gamble by legaiizing lotteries,
and has suffered the legitimate
fruits OF such an evil example i'll the
numerous swindling lottery schemes
which have been gullsl 9 her people,
and others, under the semblance of
law, and backed by her precedent.
She discovered her error, and is
Just now engaged in cndeayoring
TO enforce the law against lotteries
in San Francisco, by prosecuting
those who were engaged i'll the re-
cent lottery there. Because she did
wrong in the past is 10 reason why
she should rot do right now, of
course, and we are glad she is ell
deavorino TO correct the great evils
which lave resulted from SO bad an
example; but how much better it
would have been had tie precedent
never been set.
Washington Territory should
take this example into serious con-
s;deiation before they consummate
their gambling scheme.

How CHINAMEN GET TO AMER
IcA.-It may be interesting to those
who are not posted to know how
John Chinamen get here. 1t is to
be understood, first of all, that the
Chinese who come to America are
oil poor men. An INDECENT China
man goes to the official of his native
village, OF the precinct of the city
In which he resides, and proposes to
mortgage hin1selfand his family for
money with which to come to
America, where he expects to make
his fortune, clear up his affairs, and
live thence forward in peace, com
fort, and prosperity. It often hap
pens, however, that the ChinaInan
does not return at the expiration OF
certain time for which the mort
gage runs, and then the harpies and
money-lenders, into whose hands
the business has fallen by this time,
pounce upon the poor Chinaman's
family and sell them into slavery
without the least conrpunction OF
conscience. Under such circum-
stances do most of the Chinese who
land upon our shores come. It is
not to be wondered ut that they do
Tot bring their families that they
do not settle pernlanentiy-that
this tide OF emigration is like none
other, il, it's wonderful ebb and
flow, that the world ever saw.

The total Generalization of the

most certain, because possible con-

irnperil the success of the party.
Left to square issue between the

is without question great Repub-
lican triumph.

RAISING APPLES AND PEARS IN
DRY SEAsoNs.-An eminent POM
ologist IN Brussels, De Johnghe, has
succeeded in obtaining weli-grown
apples and pears in dry seasons by
watering the trees from time to
time, and by making holes III the
ground underneath them and occa-
sionally introducing some liquid, but
not very highly concentrated, man
ure. This application is stated to
be particularly important at the
time when the fruit is setting.

New ! ork f1r many weeks has
been making great preparations for
the reception Of Prince Alexis of
Russia. No sooner was it al
nonnced that this son of ROYALTY
would visit New York, than the
note of preparation began. \
house was remodeled and furnished
in most Russian royal style. Nd
miral Rowen ard his American
squadron, the committee Of arrange
ments, and preparations, and fix
ingS, waited pat ehtly ard patient
~, with their anxious expectant
eyes turned seaward, until at last
their faithful vigil was rewarded.
The Grand Duke hove in sight, or
rather the irigate sveilan, that held
him, did. This was last Saturday.
rs the Grand Duke. or rather the
.svelian, approached the American
squadron st the Horseshoe, he, or
rather she, fred q salute Of twenty
one guns. Then the Congress, Sew
ern, 'oquois a;id Kansas saiuted
back, dipping their colors to the
Young royal Russian Bear, as he, or
rather the frigate he was in, passed
20 anchorage. The dispatch we
lave before us now, leaves him out
there in the Bay, anchored, or rath-
er tie sSvellan Is, and he is in her.
The dispatch SAYS he is tall, strongly
b,.ilt. and las the ar of a gentle
man; has clear complexion, light
hair. whiSkers, and blue eyes; he
speaks English fiuently, but is
thought to prefer French. No re-
ception fornalities were offered to
him on sunday, and like a good
roval Bear, lie staid all day on board
his vessel.
ater dispatches inform us that
on Monday it rained and prevented
the grand reception from taking
place. Hence the Grand Dt;ke
had to stay on his vessel a day
longer. On Tuesday, however, the
weather god was propitious, and
the reception took place. Afjer
considerable ceremony and prepara-
ton, lasting from eleven o'clock
\. NJ, until half past one o'clock
p. NJ, tie Reception Committee,
and five hundred others, landed him
amid the roar Of cannon and the
deatening shouts of welcome from
innumerable New York lungs. lie
took a seat in a barouche, he did,
aud there he was, looking as nice as
he could be in magnificent uniform
tue general officer of the Russian
Krmy. AS he passed up Broad
way, vast crowds cheered him at
every step; the military presented
arms, dipped their colors, played
their bands, and the ladies at the
windows waived their cambrics.
and we expect the Duke felt awful
nice. We hope young Mr.. Alexis
of Russia may have a good time
while he is visiting Uncle Sam, and
go home to the family nest, much
improved.

NOVEL MARRIA Is.-A New
York correspondent says two rather
novel looking marriages recently
came under his notice. Not long
ago the head of a very old business
firm in the metropolis died. Sooh
after the wife of the other
member Of the firm was taken
away by death. The surviving
widower with nine unmarried chill
dren has now married the surviving
widow with seven unmarried chill
dred. The firm is thus perpetuated
in the family, and sixteen children
are brought into the family fold.
Not long ago rich widower
bordering on sixty, without chill
dren, married widow few miles
up the Hudson river having thir-
teen children, some Of the older
ones being married. His wife died
over thirty years ago, and during
that time he kept alooffrom society,
devoting himself entirely to bust
ness. When, therefore, he married
into the bosom of family all Of
whose members endeavored to make
it agreeable and pleasant as posi-
BILE for him, he experienced the most
agreeable emotions and became a
decidedly happy man. The .other
day one ofhis acquaintance i'll New
York jokingly asked hsn how it
seemed, to be surrounded with
thirteen children, all drawing sup
port from him. 81 wish to the
Lord there were thirteen more of
them" was the immediate reply.

SPEEDY GROWTH OF RADIsuE

SPEEDY GROWTH OF RADIsHEs.
In the publication of the Accli-
matization Society OF Palermo we
are informed that radishes may be
obtained at any season, and very
quickly, in the following manner !:
The seeds are to be first soaked for
tWenty-fo hours and then placed
in bags and exposed to the sun.
They will begin to ger1ninate in
about, twenty-four hours, and are
then to be set in a box filled with
well-manured earthy and moistened
from time to time with Iukewarm
water. In five or six days the rad
ishes will attain the size of small
onions. To grow radishes in winter
the box is to be placed in warm
cellar, covered with top, and the
earth moistened from day to day
with 1ukewarm water.

COrOner's Jury.
BOsrON, September lO.-The coroner's
jury on the Eastern railroad disaster this
forenoon agreed upon verdict, which was
transmitted to Coroner Forsythe and ap-
proved by him about four o'clock this after
noon. The following is the verdict:
That the persons then and there came to
their deaths through collision of trains on
the Eastern railroad, about twenty minutes
past eight o'clock, on the evening Of the
twenty sixth day of August, near the rail
road depot, in Revere. The jurors further
find that the collision was caused by the
negligence of John S. Rowland, conductor
of the Beverly train. upon which said
persons were thus killed, and Brown, the
engineer of the colliding train. The former
failed to notify the latter by signals or
otherwise that the said NOwiands train
was delayed on the road. after starting
about twenty minutes, and the said Now
land would have known, had he consulted
his watch, that the Pullman train was over
due by its regular running time when sad
Rowland reached Revere. The engineer Of
the Pullman train had an unObstructeC
view of at last half mile of the Beverly
train as it stood at the depot at revere
directly before collision, and could and
should have seen the taiI-lights OF the tram
in season to avoid collision.
The jury further find that 5. U. Lunt,
depot master at Boston, remiss in duty IN
not correctly transmitting the order OF the
superintendent to the engineer Of the Pull
man train to look out tor trains ahead, thus
depriving the engineer of information that
might have enabled linn to avoid the Bey-
erly train. The more remote cause, but
not the less certain, of the disaster was the
delay in tue time of starting the Beverly
train from the depot in Boston, said delay
being occasioned by the gross inadequacy
OF rolling stock necessary for the safe and
timely transit of passengers Of said road
The jury further find that frequent delays
in the time Of starting, occasioned by extra
or excursion trains, delayed running Of the
regular trains, thus adding to the perils of
railroad travel by the necessity of tele-
graphic communication with the trains of
the road. The need Of improved appliances
for the safety Of trains, the risk from fire
attending the use of explosive burning
fluids, the want of siding at the Sangus
branch, and the entire insufficiency Of &C.
commodatiOns have failed to receive that
consideration which their importance de-
mauded. We, therefore, find that the pres
ident and directors OF the Eastern railroad
corporation are, to great extent, respon.
sibie for the loss of life.
