The colored people have

more to learn. They must be
taught to recognize the fact that

so long as they are banded to

will the whites. They ought to

do that, both parties will be in.

and State constitutions.
Unfortunately large number,
and perhaps an overwhelming
majority, of the colored race do
not take this view of the matter

illustration of the way in which
they attempt to control the cleo

Saturday last, Henry Brooks
a fusion negro, while in town
was warned that he had better
attempt to go home unless he
changed his politics and become
an Independent. Vague threats
were made to him to frighten
him. Nevertheless he attempt

him, one of them pointed Il pis-
tol at his he d, and they threat
ened to kill him then and there
unless he would say he would
become an Independent. A
rope was likewise placed around
his neck and they told him they
would hang him Finding they
could not intinidato him, they
then made proposals to pay him
if he would not report them.
Warrants are out for the Inde-
pendent buldozers and the case
comes up for trial before a JUS

aggravated ease of buldozing.

Under the latter is understood not the
whole nest, but only the mucilaginous
inner coating Of the nests. It's believ-
ed that the swallows who built their
nests on the sea rocks cover their nests
and glue them to the rocks with the
juice of sea cane, which, on being dried,
looks like mucilaginous membrane. On
the market these nests are found in the
shape of hemisphere of the size of a
half orange peel The nests are sold
here at from fifteen to twenty-five dol
lars per pound. They are used princi-
pally for making broth, to which they
give peculiar aroma and taste, much
valued by astronomers.
Rice stands, of course, at the head of
vegetable foods Without rice cruel
no meal is served here. Fan" means
both "to have a meal" and "to eat rice
Cruel" The brown rice, which is COM
mon rice, but heated and musty, is
much liked. There is also red variety
ofrice.
Honey is much used here, but
chiefly as a cosmetic. After being
mixed with -four it is used by the wo-
men in their hair dressing. With their
hair saturated, sticky and shining with
honey, they must be indeed sweet.
AS everybody knows, the Chinese
are passionately fond of tea, which
they cultivate for the rest of the world.
They drink it at every meal, at home
and out, when idle and at work, in
shops and in oflices-in short, every
where, and at any time of day or night.
The red, black, and green sorts of tea
they prepare only for exports, while
they themselves use exclusively yellow
tea. They take tea in small cups, and
without sugar.
Though in China there are excellent
sorts of grapes, yet no wine is prepared
there. The Chinese make two kinds
whisky, of sarge and of rice, and drink
a good deal of it. Women also drink
and smoke here. A tin gill OF the
shape of an hour glass is used for
whisky drinking. They had no glass
works here until recently, when an
American gentleman taught some
Celestials to make glass. During my
thirty years residence here | have
never seen a single drunken Chinaman
on the street No coffee or chocolate
is used here.
The unusually fertile soil of this coun-
try yields products enough to satisfy
the appetites of all the Celestials, and
in view of their peculiar philosophy OF
the stomach, they ought to be able, all
of them, to reach the blissful state of
safety. Yet how many of them are
lean, hungry, with wistful eyes and
hollow stomachs. What heartrend-
ing tragedy each of these thin fellows
presents, whose all-absorbing idea is to
be thick When l look upon the crowd
of hollow-cheeked Cinnamon and then
upon the few who are in the blissful
state of corpulency, | can not help
thinking of the lean-heshed kline OF
Pharaoh.

Fruit Trees by the Roadside.

1t is singular that among dusty road
sides there is generally an abundance
of fruit, and this abundance is usually
in proportion to the quantity of dust.
Not only is the fruit abundant, but the
leaves are generally remarkably heal
thy; and we do not remember an in
stance of blighted or seriously dis
eased tree, when they have been COW
cred with roadside dust. If there are
any doubters let them see for them
selves. This has been frequently not
ed in regard to old pear trees in gar
dens along roadsides; but as to the
cherry it is very striking, especially
low headed pie-cherries, which are
more easily covered with dust than
trees of larger size.
We do not pretend to account for
this curious fact, but rest with simply
stating it. 1t is supposed that the
plant breathes through its leaves-how
it does this when covered with dust, it
is not for US to say. 1t may be that the
minute insects which crowd on fruit
trees generally don't like the dust, iu-
deed, people do say that it is to destroy
insects that chickens so love to cover
themselves with dust. Again, some
people have a notion that many fruit
diseases come from minute fungi, which
develope on the leaves and branches,
and soon cover the whole surface, de-
stroying tissues as they go. 1t may be
that absolutely dry dust falling on these
minute juicy little plants may suck the
moisture ont of them, and leave them
high and dry. We do not pretend to
discuss any of these propositions; at
the same time, it is curious to note
that these dust-covered fellows should
do so Gern.dntO1Un Telegraph.

The French victories over the
Anamites of Tonquin follow one after

and now they rout body OF troops.
They have recently captured the forti-
fed town of Hai-Dzuong, which has
$4,000 inhabitants, and is the capital
of one of King Phuduc's provinces,
seizing at the same time lot of can
