The Presidents Illness.

The illness of President Grant gives
serious alarm to his friends. 1t is an
open secret here that the President is
troubled with complaint in the kid
neys, which affects him very seriously at
times. Indeed, it is sometimes feared
that he is in the incipient stages of
Bright's disease. He has suffered pain
fully without betraying his sufferings !;
and it is now stated authoritatively that
the effusion of blood and bloated APP
pearance of the face, which have too
frequently been attributed to a less ex-
cusable cause, are due to the periodical
attacks of his complaint, which some
how affects the nerves and blood vessels
of the cerebellum, and gives n congested
appearance to his face. Your CORE
spondent knows several instances, when
very injurious impressions have been
created respecting the President, derived
from the appearance of his face-which
is due entirely to the chronic difficulty
above alluded to. The President is
easier now than he has been; but the
very worst is TO be feared when one of
these acute attacks OCCUR Washington

Chinese Slavery i'm San Francisco.

Late California papers say There is
little Chinese girl III San Francisco,
eight years old, whose Hong Kong
mother, about eight months ago, sent
her out to buy something for the house,
when the girl was kidnapped, and taken
on board vessel bound for San Fran
cisco. There she became a slave, and
on the arrival of the vessel, passed into
the possession of a Chinese woman in
the Characterization colony. She was,
according to her statement, constantly
beaten and otherwise shamefully abused.
She at length consulted with another
slave girl in the same house, and the
slave advised her to run away, as no
money had been paid for her; she could
not run away herself, because she cost
her mistress 800. The little girl did
run away, and soon met kind Chinaman
to whom she told her story; he pitied
her and took her to nice lady, who
promised to protect her. In a day or
two an advertisement appeared in the
papers, offering 5000 for the lost, strayed
or stolen girl, and her hiding place was
finally traced by some one who was look
ing out for the reward. Preparations
were made to catch her, but the lady
moved her charge to another place of
greater safety. She does not intend to
give the little girl up to her countrymen,
and she (the little girD believes if she
were to be returned to them she would
be tortured to death and her body ex-
hibited in the Chinese quarter as a
warning to other slaves. The papers
say such things have been done there

The Memphis and FL PasO Railroad
SWindle.

A Washington special says : 1t has
recently been reported that 700, 600 acres
out of 100000 acres of land, granted
to the Memphis and FL Paso Railroad
Company by the State of Texas, were
set apart when the franchise of that
road was transferred to the Texas Pacific
railroad for the purpose of paying of
the bonds disposed of in Paris by Gen.
Fremont. The agent here of the French
bondholders denies that any arrange
ment has been made whereby the bonds
are to be surrendered and the lands
taken in exchange, and says he has au-
thority to and will decline to accept such
a proposition. The lands in Texas, as
is advised by the Land Commissioners
of that State, are not worth at the pres
ent time more than 10 cents per acre,
and 1000 acres if sold would bring less
than 100000, while there are bonds
outstanding to the amount of five or six
millions of dollars. The agent further
says that the bondholders expect to pro-
cure from the Paris Stock Exchange,
which admitted the bonds to its lists,
the full amount they paid for the bonds,
leaving that body to recover their money,
if they can, from Gen. Fremont and the
other officers of the Memphis and Ell
Paso road. Suit for this purpose is now
pending before the legal tribunals in
Paris, and decision is expected within
three weeks.

What Is Life?

Life is but deaths vestibule, and on,
pilgrimage ON earth is but journey tc
the grave; the pulse that preserves oul
being, beats our dead march, and the
blood which circulates our life is float.
ing it onward to the depth of death.
To-day we see our friends in health
tomorrow we hear of their decease. We
clasped the hand of the strong man hut
yesterday, and to-day we closed his
eyes. We rode in q chariot of comfort
but an hour ago, and in few more
hours the last black chariot must con-
vey us to the home of all the living.
Stars die, mayhaps it is said that con-
flagrations have been seen afar off in
the ether, and astronomers have marked
the funerals of other worlds-the decay
of those mighty orbs that we have i'm
agined set forever in sockets of silver to
glisten as the lamps of eternity. Blessed
be God, there is no place where death is
not lifes brother, where life reigns alone,
and "to live" is not the first syllable
which is to be followed by "to die. "
There is land where death-knells are
never tolled, where winding sheets are
never woven, where graves are never
dug. Blest land beyond the skies. To
reach il we must die.
