A New Chinese migration
Scheme.

A plan on an extensive scale is being per-
fected for the purpose Of transferring laborers
in mass from China to the Southern States.
An American who resided for many years in
China, and is said to be thoroughly familiar
with the Chinese, has lately been travelling
in the Gulf States, making investigations as
to the demand for Chinese labor, and enter
ing into contracts for its supply. As the
result of his operations company has been
organized with capital of two hundred thou
sand dollars, all subscribed, and to be en-
larged at the option Of the parties concerned.
Operations have already been begun, and il
is expected that the first ship load of immi-
grants, eight hundred or twelve hundred in
number, will be ready to leave China in about
month. 1t is intended to bring over six OIL
eight thousand year, but to increase the
number as circumstances may require.
They are intended to be employed in the
cultivation of cotton and rice, the latter 8
kind of labor with which they are specially
familiar. The period of their contract is tC
lars month and found. The protector states
that no difficulty will be experienced in pro
curing an unlimited number of immigrants OF
| these terms, and he also says the demand fO
them is very great. Very few Chinamel
| will, he thinks, hereafter go to Peru or Othe
South American countries, the term of thu
contract having been almost invariably VIC
| lated by employers. The late barbarOu
decree of the Cuban Captain General, reduc
ing all Cinnamon on that island to condi
ton of practical and permanent slavery, ha
also, he says, thoroughly put stop to emi
grafton in that quarter. He is confident
however, that we can get any number tina
may be desired.

raE MAxLlEsr MAS.
BY @. w. BUNGAY.

The manifest man of all the race,
Whose heart is open as his face,
Puts forth his hand to help another.
,Tis not the blood of kith or kin,
Wis not the color of the skin;
IT'S the true heart which beats within
Which makes the man man and brother
His words are warm upon his lips,
His heart beats to his fingers tips,
He is a friend and loyal neighbor.
Sweet children meet him on the way,
And women trust him, for they may,
He owes no debt he cannot pay;
He earns his bread with honest labor.
He lifts the fallen from the ground,
And puts his feet upon the round
Of dreaming Jacobs starry ladder,
Which lifts him higher every day,
Towards the bright and heavenly way,
and further from the tempter's sway,
Which stingeth like the angry adder.
He strikes oppression to the dust,
He shares the blows aimed at the just,
He shrinks not from the post of danger.
And in the thickest of the fight
He battles bravely for the right,
For that is mightier than the might,
Though Graded in All humble Manager.
Hail to the manly man, he comes;
Not with the sound of horns and drums,
Though grand as any duke, and grander
He dawns upon the world, and light
Dispels the dreamy gloom of night,
And ills, like bats and owls, take flight;
He's greater than great Alexander.
