Chinese.

There are a great many Of these peo'
pie in our city. We meet them on all
the streets. Their appearance is clean
ly, and they are well behaved, and
seem to be in easy circumstances.
They have little intercourse with our
other people, but are kecnly obscrvant
Of everything. They have opened
small shops, one large store on Royal
street, in a central locality, and one
extensive laundry on Caro- adelet street,
where clothes are washed and done nl'
in Chinese style, which is superior to
all other styles. The great superiority
ofthe Chinese laundry work is ascrihed
to q peculiar mode of sprinkling. which
is done by squirting the water in a
spray from their mouths.
Many Of these Cinnamon have come
from the plantations, prcferring, as
they do, the small trades and industries
Of the city to the dull, rlodding work
Of the plantations. This tendency will
prevent the accumulation Of large for
ces on the plantations for some time
to come. There is so great a demand
for the small labors and for mental
service in the city that a great many
Cinnamon will find employment here,
They will displace the immense surplus
Of lazy, loating negroes, who have
struggled from the country, where they
could be uscIulIv and protitably EN-
pIoyed- New Orleans Times.

Military Upstairs.

The New York World commcnds
the Republican Governor of Illinois
for his determination to bring %"littlc
Phil' Sheridan to account for his
doings at Chicago. We have altogeth-
er too much of this military interrer-
cnce, one way and another, throughout
the whole country, on the slightest
preteXts, or no prcteXts at all.
These gentlemen in blue (says the
World) are the hired servants orthc
people Of the United States; their
business is to guard the frontiers, to
garrison the forts, to convey Western
trains, and protect infant settlements.
When thus employed We are not indis-
posed to feed and clothc and pay our
military as our civil servants but
when used where they should not be
and not used where they should, when
the borders are left uefenceless and the
peaceful interior is constantly under
awe, it IS time to rebuke such abuses
and put the army at its own proper
work. a great s.cptO this end will be
if Gen Sheridan %learp, through
the punishment inflicted upon him by
civil court, that neither he nor
any Of his profession are above the
law that in Illinois, as in every State,
The constituted authorities are quite
enough to maintain order and protect
life; and that this impudent assertion
ii force upon every occasion must
ease.

as much as the followers Of Luther,

If the L. S. authorities would try to
give US better government down South
and let the Mormons alone in their re-
ligious belief, we would have more
cause for rejoicing.
