The n. Y. Sunday Mercury says: A
steamship company, with capital of ten
million dollars, has been formed to bring
Chinese laborers to the United States, and
one year hence the Chinese population in
this country will be increased four fold,
and five years hence there will be mil
lion Asiatic mechanics and skilled artisans
at work among the factories and mills of
the Atlantic coast. 1t was Pennsylvania
congressman, one day last week, who made
this announcement to two members of the
executive committee. He said: The six
coolie companies Of San Francisco some
time ago made arrangements with John
Roach to build twenty iron ships, each of
which will pack and convey 5000 Mon
golians to this country to work for us at
80 cents day. Desiring to enlarge their
field of operations, they sent their agents
east, to interest silk, cotton, stone and 9TH
er manufacturers in their schemes, and
the result has been the formation of the
the company speak of. The stock was
all subscribed some time since.

A STRANGE and fatal accident occurred
in church in Rock Hill, N. c., on the
2Sth inst. The collection-plate was being
passed around after an earnest eXhorta
tion had been made for money to help the
christian cause. Jas. Gooch, a Young man
in the congregation, did not have cent,
and, being moved by the minister appeal,
he attempted to borrow ten cents from a
man next to him. The man refused.
Gooch then took pistol from his pocket
and offered it as collateral. The man took
the pledge, and while examining it the
weapon went off, sending ball through
the brain of Gooch, killing him instantly.
THE largest steam mill of Jas. n. Buff
fun, of Lynn Mass, on the 29th inst,

Mr.. SMALLEY telegraphs to the Tribune
from London: The gravity Of the stu a.
tion in Ireland occupies English attention
almost to the exclusion of the foreign and
colonial difficulties. The reports during
the week from Dublin conflict alike respect
ing the prosecution of the land-league
leaders and the policy of the Irish execu-
tive touching the whole question. The
latest accounts say the government intends
to indict six of the leading agitators, Mr..
Parnell included. Growing impatience is
manifested by the Irish landlords in re-
gard to what they consider to be hesita-
ton on the part Of the government.
This impatience is shared by the
English public, who begin to perceive that
the agitation is directed. not against bad
landlords merely. but so far as it Is agrarian
and not political, against the principle OF
ownership in land except by actual occu-
piers who cultivate the soil. Threatening
letters multiply daily. No one of them
has affected public opinion more than
that which has compelled Lord Clancurry
to- abandon his estate, although he was
engaged in no quarrel with his tenants o.
4 Iborers, nor had he raised rents or eyict-
ed occrpiers. He was even popular per-

AppARITIoNs are so seriously dis
turbing the incredulous world in
Europe that they have at last found
their way into literature, and one OF
the most industrious of bookmakers
Mr.. Davenport Adams, has been hunt
ing up the curiosities of spectres. To
show the morbid fancies of other book
compilers, it may be worth while to
mention Prof. Norellis' treatise on sui
eide, in which the progress and devel-
opment of murder are traced from re-
mote times down to the long statistical
tables for this special feature in social
science which all civilized countries
now issue annually.

How the Dog Knows.
Harper's Week.

If we cut open the head of man,
we shall find in it large and highly
developed optic centre, directly cen
nected with the eye and the nerves of
sight, and having numerous side con-
nections with other parts of the brain.
The large nervous mass accurately re-
fleets the extreme Importance of sight
in the human system. Our world is
mainly world Of visible objects, cor
rected and interpreted by the indica-
tions of our sense of touch and of mus
cular activity. We think of things
chiefly as we see them, and very little
as we smell them or taste them. Ac-
cordingly we find that in man the
olfactory lobes, which stand to the
sense of smell in the same relation as
the optic centres stand to the sense of
sight, are small and inconspicuous.
They have apparently but few connec-
tions with other parts of the brain, and
they do not answer to any large and
important associations Of ideas. We
find our consciousness of smells is
merely isolated, while our conscious
ness of sights is continuous and closely
interviewer with all our thinking. Forms
and colors, actual and ideal, make up
the greater part of our material uni
verse. When we think of Paris, or of
Switzerland, or of our friend Jones, our
ideas are mostly ideas of their visible
aspect, and very little suspicion of any
other sense than sight enters into our
mental picture,
On the other hand, if We cut open
the head of q dog, we find q large and
developed optic centre, much the
same as mans; but we also find q very
big and very important olfactory lobe,
having an immense number of lateral
connections with every other part Of
the brain. The dogs nose is an organ
almost, if not quite, as important to
him as his eyes, and entirely analogous
to our own fingers. Ifyou and l see
any object which we do not know, and
if we are anxious to learn more about
its nature, we go up to it and handle it.
But If my dog A1,acharsis sees any
thing of the same sort, he can not
handle it, so he smells it i'm
stead. When be has carefully shifted
at it all round, and compared the smell
with all similar or contrasting smells In
his well-stored memory, he ssoscs the
|object, Just as you and I do when We
have handled it. He may then pro-

MAJ. THos. L. BUTLER died at 81, in
Louisville, few days ago. His father
and four uncles distinguished them
selves in the revolution. Washington

wanted a thing well done 1 ordered a
Butler to do it," Members Of the fam
ily moved to Kentucky, and became of
social consequence there.

The Rev. George Newbold ran a

He is now to be prosecuted for bigamy
because he has three wives.

Perils Of the Deep.

The world-renowned swimmer, Capt.
Paul Boyton, in an interview with a
newspaper correspondent at the sea-
shore, related the following incidents
in his experience:
Reporter.-"Capt Boyton, you must
have seen large part of the world p
Capt. Boyton.-"Yes sir, by the aid Of
my Rubber Life Saving Dress, l have
travelled over 10, 600 miles on the rivers
of America and Europe; have also
been presented to the crowned heads Of
England, France, Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Italy, Holland, Spain and
Portugal, and have in my possession
forty-two medals and decorations; ]
have three times received the order Of
knighthood, and been elected honorary
member of committees, clubs, orders
and societies"
Reporter" Were your various trips
accompanied by much danger?'
, Capt. Boyton.- That depends upon
what you may cal. dangerous. During
my trip down the river Tagus in Spain,
I had to "shoot" one hundred and two
waterfalls, the highest being about
eighty-five feet, and innumerable rap
ids. Crossing the Straits of Messina, /
had three ribs broken in a fight with
sharks; and coming down the Somane,
river in France, 1 received a charge
Of shot from an excited and startled
huntsman. Although all this was not
very pleasant, and might be termed
dangerous, I fear nothing more on my
trip than intense cold; for, rs long as
my limbs are free and easy, and not
crampcd or benumbed, I am all right.
OF late l carry stock of st. Jacobs Oil
in my little boat,-(the Captain calls it
Baby Nine" and has stored therein
signal rockets, thermometer, compass,
provisions, etc. land l have had but
little trouble. Before starting out /
rub myself thoroughly with the article,
and its action on the muscles is WON
derful. From constant exposure am
somewhat subject to rheumatic pains,
and nothing would ever benefit me,
until I got hold of this Great German
Remedy. Why, on my travels have
met people who had been suffering
with Rheumatism for years; by my adj
vice they tried the Oil, and it cured
them. I would sooner do without food
fol- days than be without this remedy
for one hour. In fact 1 would not at
tempt trip without it."
The Captain became very enthusias-
tic on the subject of st. Jacobs Oil, and
we left him citing instances of the Gu
rative qualities Of the Great German
Remedy to party around him.

WITHIN the week before the last
mail left there were no less than six
persons in civilized England who had
murdered their wives. On the other
hand we hear of devoted wife hurting
a lighted paraftine lamp at her hus-
band, disabling him with the blow,
pouring the inf1amable oil all over his
person, and setting him completely in
flames. Another wife had struck a
husband whose only fault was that he
was II years old-with brass candle
stick on the head, killing him at once.
