These mandarins live in elegant style,
and are much given to receptions.
They entertain handsomely. To be in
vited to their great dinners, of which
four or five are given annually, is treat
greatly priced in Hartford. These din
ners are given in Chinese style, and
consist of some twelve courses of exclu-
sively Chinese dishes, such as dried shell
fish, sharks fins, a kind of fish bowels,
which look like maccaroni, birds nests,
and some vegetables, for which Ameri-
cans have no name. The mandarins
frequently leave the table and their
guests while to smoke, and then re
turn to resume their eating. They are
very polite. They dress in the choicest of
Chinese silks, and drink wine made OF
rice, which is very treacherous, as some
of the dignifed deacons who have dined
with them have found out, to Hartford's
scandal. -. 4''-

Wonders of Compound Interest.

One cent placed at compound interest
at the beginning of the Christian Era'
at per cent. per annum, amounts TO
dollar in October, 1874. At ! per cent.
it amounts to 500 in September, 1s41-
At 1 per cent. it amounts to $1,000 in
December 184S. AT 1 per cent. it
amounts to one million dollars in June,
1852. At per cent. it amounts to one
hundred trillions, in Jnne, 1861. At 8
per cent. it amounts to one quartodecil-
lion in April, 1853, These calculations
are true to a cent, and true to second,
and now a few words to show the mighty
power of numbers to enumerate. One
per cent. interest of the above named
sum for one second is over three hun
dred decillions of dollars. A cubic foot
of gold weighs 1908 pounds, and IS
worth, say S35O,00O. The number OF
cubic feet in the earth, is forty sextll-
lions, and if it was solid gold, would be
worth fourteen octillion dollars. The
above interest for'one second of time
would be worth more than twenty mil
| lion globes of gold as large as the earth J!

A Plea for Gen. Howard. !,

"a Border Man, writes as followsto
the New York Graphic: "Now, while.
so many are sitting comfortably in their
sanctums poking fun with their pens at
General Howard for not wiping out the
Nez Perces at a moments notice, let me
argue little on his side of the question.
Do any of these people, so readyto crit,
icise Howard, know any thing through
practical experience ofthe difficulties of
marching in the Indian countryP Do
they realize what it is to travel hundreds
of miles in a land without roads, imped-
ed by dense forests and immense guam

itous creek and river channels, hum
dreds of feet in height, meet.one at ev-t

rocky mountain ridge may occupy

bridged and the crossing OF a rushing,
foaming stream, swollen after a few
hours rain, is work of great difficulty

would be to criticise, Reeollect that
Mr.. Indians country is not mapped,
but that his town goes with him; that
he is here to-day and hundred miles

concerning him must be carefully sift-
ed and considered, and that he is fight

way. The wonder is to me that the
handfuls of United States troops sent
adrift against the Indians in this vast
and almost prirheval country have gain
ed the success they have. We regard a
European campaign, involving march
of two or three hundred miles over beat
en- roads, as matter of great Importance.
Must webe reminded chat our own troops
in these inglorious Indian expeditions,
often traverse areas of 600 or 700 miles
over unsurveyed territory, where sci
ence and civilization have done nothing
to aid them, and Nature herself has
thrown up obstacles at every step?

SISTERS.

while DER the bleak and sluggish stream
Cold blew the waiting blast

The eurtain from the rain splashed glass,
and as into the street / gazed e.
II saw two women pass.
One shivering with the bitter cold,
Her garments heavy With,the rain,

Deep -furrowed with sharp pain.
A child in form, child in years;
But from her piteous, pallid face
The weariness of life with tears
Had washed all childiiie grace.
And as she passed me, faint and weak,
i heard her slowly say, as though
with throbbing heart about to break,
Move on" Move on" Where shall go?
The other, who on furs reclined,
IN brough;fin was driven to the play;
No thought within her vacant mind
OF those in rags that day.

Who liftedup her hands in prayer

Where joy alone did sigh. z@--

The outcast's brow had gem more bright
An angels pitying tear.

over One Hundred Men Drowned,

The United States war steamer Huron.

the North Carolina coast between mid
night and Sunday morning. a terrible
storm was raging at the time and the sea
was running high. OF the one hundred
and thirty>tive officers and men on the
vessel at the time of the disaster, one
hundred were either submerged with the
sinking vessel or were washed overheard
and drowned. The Huron had been out
from Fortress Monroe only twelve hours
when the disaster occurred.
The theory OF those we'll acquainted
with the coast is that the Huron caught
