The Heathen Chinee as a Cotton Plan
ter

Two years ago number of Chinese arriv-
cd at our wharf and were objects of great
curiosity. The negroes especially gazcd at
them with wondering eyes, declaring:
"Dem's niggers, an mighty small sort.
Dey looks as eff swamp fever was bad where
dem folks come from" Some of these men
settled near here, and among them small
colony found homes and cotton picking in
the neighborhood of Marion, Arkansas, some
nine or ten miles from this city. Among
them was All Maun, who proved to be a
Chinese of education, gathered up some
knowledge of English rapidly, became
popular, and was called by the country peo-
pie John Ormond. He set to work at
once.
The first day his cotton picking amounted
to twenty-five pounds The negroes laughed
at the small specimen with a pig-tail under
his hat. In one yeaar not a negro on the
plantation could bring as much cotton to the
gin house as All Maun. All Maun took his
triumph quietly, and kept his popularity
Last spring, he and six of his fellow country
men rented a piece of ground near Marion.
Twenty acres they put in corn, and forty in
cotton. Seven times was the ground plowed
over until it was in complete order for crop.
Every bit Of grass was obliterated, every
weed exterminated, every fence corner made
clean. The five men had appointed All
Maun 'boss," and All Maun allowed no
sloycnly ways Early morning and dewy
eve saw the six Chinese at their; patient,
plodding, unwcaried industry that never
intermitted, brought crop of corn and an
other of cotton that are the admiration of
Crittenden County. 1t is visited and gaaed
at rs 4 wonder Of skill, industry and sue
cess.
Another wonder was that All Maun and
his men not only knew no such word as fail,
but they knew no such English as "sick"
Well they were and wellthey remain through
heat and cold and swamp fogs and chilly
mornings When picking time came All
Maun hired four more of his compatriots,
and all year the ten are as busy as ants.
On Thursday they sent two bales Of cotton 10
the city. It was received by Keel L. Co.,
and Mr. Keel says two better bales of we'll
grown, clcanlS picked cotton he. has not
seen this year. All Maun's energy andskill,
and that of his hard-working companions, is
admired, and we hear it said that if the
group choose to break up nextspring, taking
new farms and joining with them new hands,
they will be literally aided, and such money
and supplies as may be necessary will not be
withheld. All Maun is triupmphant. The
white folks regard him as prodigy, but the
negroes are not sure that there is not "a lit:
lte oh de debbil in him."

ture Greater Than Coughs.
In Newark yesterday afternoon an inquest was
held by Coroner Mum touching the death Of one
William Parsley, an English brass moulder from Bir-
mingham, England. About his decease we're several
singular circumstances which induced suspicion
Of foul play in the mind OF County Physician Dodd.
Parsley, 1t appears, had been on periodical drunk
for whole week the one before last. Yesterday
week ago man named Wyman found him IN the
street drunk, with his eyes closed and lip cut.
Wyman took him to his home In Kelly's
court ana kept him there all night.
They had been intimate. Next day
Parsley was so low that Wyman got frightened ana
at once notified the pOlce to have him taken to the
hospital. This was done. Captain Dwyre In.
structed the off1cer TO inquire OF the hospital
house physician what condition the man was In.
The physician told him not dangerously but
Friday, however, the man died. At the
inquest DIR. DOdd testifed that the Janitor OF st.
Mchaeps Hospital had asked HIM for burial GER
ti1cate, Dut, from conversation had with him. de-
clined, and suspected foul play OF some species.
Parsley had been delirOus previous to decease and
had to be tied down In bed Yesterday morn
ing the Doctor had the body removed
to the dead house. He made prepare
tons to hold post.mortem examination,
but learning mat one had areaay been held In
violation OF law, and without any warrant OF
authority by the hospital physician, he dcslsted.
Alter examining o number OF witnesses the Jury
retired for delIberatlon and returned verdict
..that death was caused by Inflammation OF the
brain, resulting from intemperance and exposure"

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
1t IS evident that the charges Of extravaganza
and Encouragement against the Board OF Trustees
were grossly unjust and unmerlted. In the item for
official books as alleged to have COST $500,
which would appear to cast censure. not
only upon the officers, but also upon those from
whom they were purchased, we find the bill Of
1856 Go to include all the stationery which has been
used during che last eighteen months, such as CIR.

considered necessary for the management Of the

everything which was required and could be OBJ
tanned from reliable statloner at moderate prices.

sity OF so dong In order 10 remedy this evil 1t was
deemed necessary by the Board OF Trustees TO try
the influence OF money, and in October last major

! previously volunteered by the house physician.
At the next monthly meeting motion
was offered to reconsider the vote or payment,
winch no definIe action was taken until three
months afterwards, when experience convinced
them that the under current OF hostility continued.
Increased numbers OF patients were sent away
without treatment-Miss Green had another dispen-
sary on Ninth avenue-and many irregularities per-
sisted in. Then resolution was passed-only one
voting In the negative-that the payment OF money
