REPRIsALs are threatened by the Chi
nese, and the Americans In the Celestial
Empire are feeling uneasy. They GER
tainly have the same right, but the posi-
ton of the two are radically different.
The Americans do not go to China to I'M
dermine the industrial classes, but they
stimulate the advance Of modern arts
and sciences, opening new channels for
the overcrowded labor market. The
Chinese in this country refuse to become
citizens and assimilats with western
civilization, having only the acquiring
and accumulation ofcapital in view, and
taking it out Of the country, instead of
investing it and developing the cOun-
try. There is q distinction with great
difference between the position and OBJ
ject of Americans in China and Chinese
in America. The intelligent Cinnamon
understand that, and no doubt will pro-
tect the Americans and other foreigners
against the natural prejudice that must
have been aroused by the movement
against their countrymen in this coun-
try.

II suggested by many newspapers
that when railroad or other corpora
ton wants to rid itself of organized
labor that it allows itself to be put into
the hands Of receiver in a United
States Court. 1t thus puts itself under
the protection Of the United States au-
thorities 10 the full extent of the power
Of the Government. The desire TO free
itself must be great to resort to such
means, but there is no doubt
as to the positive effect Of the
measure. The question may be
fully tested in day or two in the case
of the strike on the Texas & Pacific at
Fort Worth, as Ex-Governor Brown, the
receiver. seems disposed to stand firm
in his resolution to discharge all the
strikers who refused his grace, which
expired at 10 O'Clock on the 4th, and put

will be watched with great anxiety by

LIVE STOCK FOR THE SOUTH.

Experience has shown that certain
breeds of domestic animals succeed
admirably in the south, and become
acclimated without difficulty. The
Jersey, Ayrshire and Devon, among
cattle; the South Down, Merino and
Sectch Chevinti among sheen: the
Berkshire swine, and the HambletO-
MAN. Morgan strains Of horses, all do
well here, and serve their purposes in
the best manner. The Jersey has
been brought into the south in large
numbers, and has been found as har-
dy and as valuable for the dairy as in
any other locality. The native south
ern cows mix well with this breed,
and as darying is bound to become II
prominent interest in the south very
soon, it is probable that the Jerseys
will largely increase. State Jersey
associations are forming and local
herd books for eachState will soon be
the rule, Ayrshires are also popu-
lar for dairy purposes, and for rang
ing for beef, Us they will stand ex-
pOsure in the woods all winter, make
good steers for working, and very
fair beef cattle. The Devons, how
ever, will supplant before long, be-
cause of their excellence for the yoke
and the butcher, excepting. tor spe-
cial dairy purposes, when the Ayr
shires and the Jersey will probably
divide the field between them. As
regards sheep, the main purpose il
at present wool, but before long NUT
ton will become valuable, and the
markets for this meat are close at
hand. The prevailing hog and homi-
ny, is bound TO give way before the
steady advancing culture of the pop
ular taste, which is CONSPICUOUS teu-
ture in the South, and homegrown
mutton is fast taking the place OF
western pork. Probably the South.
Down, the Shropshire and the Che
viot, which are already introduced
and are popular, Will supply all tn,
needs Of the South in this respect,
and the Merino will head the hocks
which are kept for wool alone, in the
wire-grass pastures Of the .plney
woods region. When the native
Gland pike" hog has had ita day, tn,
improved Berkshire will take it,
place. 1t is now already extremely
popular, and fattens well on the pre-
valent masts of the torests.-Ameri-
