gated with blue and golden colors:
About che same distance south is old
Poughkoepsie city, like Kingston with
q 1000 souls, where the Constitution Of
the Union was accepted in I78S. But
in Kingston the Revolutionary Con-
stitution was framed eleven years ear
lier. and there George Clinton, al the
youthful ace of 3S, vas proclaimed
Governor-the longest Governor in
Office this country probably has ever
had by general suffrage.
The previous history Of New York
State has been oftho slightest conse-
quencc-chie1y an outpost oftho colo.
MES toward the French and covered
by the Iroquois nations. There were
some old settlements in the valleys of
the Hudson and Mohawk, but
the population Of the whole
province was only about 10000,
an inferior State to Maryland and Con
neoticut,an a pigmy beside either Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania or Virginia.
New York had produced only one dis
tinguished man, Sir William johnson,
of the same race as the ClintOns, Pro,
testant Irish, and not a native OF
America. johnson died three years
before Clinton wa inaugurated. At
Kingston tho wild young State seemed
to leap full grown into influence and
pablic men, but the cruelty of the
Irish character was instanced IN Kings
ton By many unnecessary executions of
the old Dutch Loyalists, even while
tho Legislature was sitting, and their
diving prayers of 20 Heerl veageeven
onze zonde" (Lord, forgive our sins!l
did not penetrate the breasts Oftheir
insurgent neighbors.
The old Dutch stock of New York
was faithful and acquisitive, but with
out spirituality, and had never risen in
Holland above municipal liberty. Its
historian was an Orkney ScOtchmau;
its novelist a New jersey E~piseopalian;
the Irish in the mountains between
New Jersey and the Hudson created
the New York Of the Revolution with
a sprinkling ofhelp from several races
as soon as the State was set free public
ambition started everywhere, aud i'm
migration from New England, includ-
ing Long Island, and from New Jersey
and Pennsylvania and Europe, filled
the hollow carcass of our boundaries,
making such men of might as Colonial
New York never could have dreamed
of-the Kents, Stewards, Marcys,
Kings, Fultons, S~tevenses, Burrs,
Conklings, Coopers, Geddyses, Sey-
mours, and Websters, whose learning
or invention Ievolutionized much Of
the Republic. Such were the straits
Of New York for competent men that
Rufus King, scarcely arrived in the
State, was made a Senator.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Washington correspondent
OF the New York Commercial AdUcr-
tiser, q strong Republican journal. says
that If Mr.. Hayes had sent in the name
of his son Webb for Associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court it would not
have surprised those who have closely
watched the manner in which Mr..
Hayes has made use Of the Govern
men.s patronage to rewsrd his per-
sonal friends.
- General Weaver. late Greenback
candidate for President, took occasion
to say on the floor of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington the other
day that Southern bulI-dozing is as
nothing compared with the intimidation
Of voters practiced by the Republican
mill-owners and manufacturers of
Massachusetts. According to this it
would seem that Weaver's engagement
to play second fiddle to the Republican
managers has been terminated. Harvjs-

- rumor that Senator Bruce is to

and refresh themselves for an hour. But
when they caught sight of the Tartar
troops they did not tarry long, you may
be sure, but put spurs to their horses
and lied as fast as they could.
Then there followed royal chase, in
which the King was the hunted instead
of the hunter-the King and his cava-
liers urging their tired horses to their
utmost speed in front; following fast
behind, Karnkowski, in his coach and
six, the wild troop of Tartar bowmen
and the disorderly mob bringing up the
rear.
Henry and his gentlemen rode fast
and well. They crossed the Vistula on
bridge of planks. which the cavaliers
destroyed just as their pursuers came
up. and as they rode on they left their
Tartar enemies bowling with rage and
crashing their teeth, as they saw the
river rolling between them and the flu
gItives, and knew they must go six miles
around in order to come up with them.
The danger was over now. They did
not overtake Henry until after he had
passed the frontier town of Plesse, and
they dared not capture him on Austrian
territory.
Count Teuczin therefore approached
the King. accompanied only by five
Tartars, and delivered his message from
the Senate to entreat him to return, and
offering his own fealty to the King.
Henry refused to return, but he sent
back fair words to the Senate, and they
parted amicably. Henry to pursue his
journey to Vienna, where he arrived
without further adventures, the Count
to return sadly to Cracrow to announce
the escape of their King to the magnates
of Poland.
But in my opinion If they had had
Henry to rule over them four years in
stead of four months, far from grieving
over his loss. they would have consid-
cred themselves well rid of him; for
lazy, selfish, cowardly, false and cruel
as he was, they might have sought the
wide world over without finding a worse
King than Henry III. of Valois. ~. ID.

There are in the State of chihuahua,
says Et Fronterizo, six American COM
panies engaged in working mines. We
will make brief mention of them. The
mining company of Santa Eulalia owns
the famous mines of that name, sixteen
miles from the city of Chihuahua.
In former times these mines paid to the
Catholic Church contributions. or taxes
to the amount ofSll, 100000. Although
they have been worked for many years
they are still very rich. The Americans
have been celebrating on piercing the
mountains by tunnel and constructing
railroad as far as the confluence of the
Sacramento and chihuahua Rivers, so
as to place machinery there to work
the metals. The Cusiquiriachi mines
were bought last year by San Fran
cisco company for $500,000. These
mines are ninety miles southwest of
Chihuahua. The veins, at the depth of
six hundred feet. contain solid metal in
some cases to the breadth of fifteen feet.
The metal has been treated by lixivia-
ton. The Batopilas mines, in the
southwest of the State. of which Messrs.
Wells, Fargo & 20. are the owners,
contain great deposits of silver and pro-
duce large sums to their workers. The
archives of Chihuahua show that these
mines produced during the rule of the
Spaniards, the vast sum of 800. 000, 900.
The Parral mines belong to the Knott
Company Of Chicago These mines are
in the city of Hidalgo. According to
the State archives, these mines have
yielded S60, O00. 900. An Indiana CON-
pany owns the La Luz mine, which is
i've miles from the Parral. The Guijas
or gravel mines, are owned by the
Chicago Mining Company. These
mines. also five miles from the Parral,
are famous for having at one time, pro-
duced an immense 6olsG (nugget) of
virgin silver.

A Remarkable ChInaman.

Ihave received visit from an en-
ightened individual who Is a native OF
Changsha Fuh, Human Province, and
only thirty-four years old. He told me
that he commenced studying with the
intention of passing through the regular
literary mill, but was unsuccessful at
the examinations. He then studied
physic and succeeded in q remarkable
manner as physician-being able to
tell the nature of any malady BY simply
looking at q persons face and head. He
does not pretend to feel the pulse, nor
does he ask the nature of the patient
disease-or ailing, so he is different to
foreign or native doctors. His success
full practice of the healing art brought
him into contact with many eminent
persons, and thus he succeeded in obtain
ing position as Deputy Magistrate in
this province. While living at Chen-tu
awaiting his turn for service, Hou-poo,
he saw some. foreign scientific books,
and studied patiently for three months
the manufacture of foreign arms by ma
chinery, and he also became SO success
full in his studies that he was appointed
foreman in the arsenal, and there he
progressed SO rapidly that he surpassed
all the artizans in the establishment, and
finding they had not enough motive
power to do all the work required from
q twenty-four horsepower steam en-
CINE, he made on the premises forty
eight-horse-power turbine wheel or 9th
or water wheel, and thus they now have
the power of seventy-two horses from
two machines instead of twenty-four
from one, as before. He next turned
his mind to the manufacture of Martini
Henry rifles and has succeeded in turn
ing out better rifles than those imported
from Europe the barrels being made
of the best native iron, not steel-so the
work is going on rapidly and the Chi
nese army has now a place to look to
for the best arms in the world. Enfield
rifles need no longer be used, and the
Sniders are but fourth-rate affairs in
comparison to the instruments manu-
featured at Chen-tu- As a reward for
the valuable services thus rendered to
the State my informant has been APP
pointed to permanent post as Depu-
ty of the Pah-shien, Magistrate, and is
to take over the seals in a few days. =
