to build the road from Grenada to OkOlo-
IA. The country penetrated by this soad
IS rich and ~populoEs, ent the condition
and Of the company make the
propositions Of Mr.. Moon peculiarly at
tractivs to railway builders.
Henry Lurhmau, at 80 Monroe street,
/ this evening at 8 o'ciSck will entertain his
/ friends in a manner that will do infinite
/ credit to the-culinsrS art, 70 the winters
skill and to the modern Gsmbrinus who
supplies the beer. He will furnish all OF
the choice deicacies Of the season cooked
with infinite skill. 1t Is expected that all
who love delightful company or are adj
dicted to the pleasures OF the festive board
viii spend a few hours this evening az No.
I 80 Monroe street. BOpndless hospitality
will lend endless charms to the entertain
ment.
Two of our morning contemporaries Is
sue seven papers 3 weez, for which they
charge thirty cents. The seventh paper
is generally q reissue of the sixth, with
little or 20 alteration, except as 70 date
Ledger. We dc not understand the
motive hat prompted the above. The
composition bill Of he Appeal for Mon
days issue is larger than that OF the
| Ledger for any day during any week and
as our contemporary has the APPEAL on
fls, we would ask him to examine 1t and
tell Us on what occasion, except the conn
mercisl report, ''the seventh paper" was
"a reissue of the sixth with LITTLE or no
alteration except as TO date"
There srs eighty-six helpless little
orphans, inmates of St. Peters Asylum.
These poor children are fed and clothed
wholly by the hand of public charity.
The asylum is not endowed by phtlsn-
thropy, and wealth withholds its benefsc-
tiOns; but the generous and good often
make contributions to the needs OF these
unfortunate waits OF humanity Dona-
tiOns, however, are neither regularly
made nor abundant, and the good women
who discharge the sslf-imposed task a.
maintaining the orphans are often reduced
to the nsrroWsst straits. They propose to
have 8 picnic for the benefit Of these chill
/ dren, on the 4th proximO, and surely a
multitude of people VIII attend, that gene
rOus deeds may bless the donors q eX-
/ pei want from the abode Of helpless, limo
cent poverty.
Parties who have allowed their prop
/ erty to be bought in by the Treasurer for
| the use Of Common Schools at the sales
for the Stste and county taxes Of lS6S-69,
would do well to look aftsr il Just now, as
the time for its redemption viii expire on
Monday next. Frank Taft, Clerk Of the
First Circuit Court, is the proper person TO
whom application should be made to re-
deem. About one-half the redemption
/ money can be paid in advance, and the
balance in county scrip, but not Of the B.
Lewis issue. WIN. Mclean also COM
mences his sale of property on which
the taxes are unpaid Tor the year $50, on
Monday next. Purchasers at this sale
will get better titles than were ever given
al any previous sale Of property for taxes
in Shelby county, as grest care and labor
has been bestowed by the officers and
| Court to get the proceedings in good shape,
so as to give purchasers titles that Will
hold good, should litigation be necessary
to obtain possession.
in q short time there won't be q heath
| en- Chinee in the land if we only can man
age to regenerste q solitary example OF
| Confucisn superstition. In Msssschu-
sets the Celestial cOrdVrsiners go to the
! Methodist meeting with editying regulsr-
ity. In San Francisco, we are told that
| there is g Chinese Young Mems Christian
I Association with forty members. What
| better immigrants can be desired than
such Is Notwithstanding, thrifty,
mainly sObsr and moral, and p~eace-keep-
ing, and willing 20 5elOrg 70 q Christian
Association? The selfish American me-
chsnic, who bowls indignantly about cheap
Chinese labor, and the wrong which 1t
does him, If he will keep steadily al work
and join q Christian Association, wall Ind
himself in q much more comfortable frame
Of mind. On the other hand, we have
testimony showing the incorrigible
hesthenism of the Celestial. A st. Louis
gentleman, who employs q coois as a
domestic servant, finds that the psganism
ofthe Chinamsn is his greatest fault. The
other morning the family, including the
coolie, were gathered into the sitting
room for prayers. When the exercises
were over, it was sscertsined that the
coolie had been worshipping an old-fssh-
Toned brass andiron IN the Fireplace. BE
mistOok It for an idol, and had offered II
two dead rats. He spends four hours q
day in front Of that sndiron saying his
catechism, and the impression throughout
the neighborhOOd is that if anything can
be done with 8 brass sndirOn in the way
Of securing the Chinese idea Of q felicltous
hereafter, hat persistent coolie Will DO Il.
