"Wby, don't you sharpen your saw, Mat?" asked the neighbor. Looking up, with an inimitably droll expression, II should thinx l had enough work to do to saw up this wood-pile, without stopping to sharpen saws"

From Bayard TaYlor's work on India, Chiha and Japan. sit is my deliberate opinion that the Chinese are. morally, the most debased people on the face Of the earth. Forms of vice, which in other countries are barely named, are, in China. SO common that they excite no comment among the natives. They constitute the surface. level, and below them are deeds of de- pravity so shocking and horrible that their character cannot even be limited. - There are some dark shadows 10 human nature which we naturally shripk ftoas penetrating, and made no attempt 10 collect information Of this kind; but there was enough in the things which j could not avoid seeing and hearing which are brought almost daily to the notice Of every foreign resident-to in spire me with powerful aversion to the Chinese race. Their touch is pollution : and, harsh as the opinion may seem, justice to our own race demands that they should not be allowed to settle on our soil. Science may have lost some thing, but mankind has gained by the exclusive policy which has cove rned China during the past centuries

Whist therefore the consumption, estimated by these figures has increased about II per cent upon last year tic crop has progressed in the ratio of p per cent that instead OF the demand gaining upon the production the production is actually growing upon the de that marke-being the 9th July l,298,070 bales against 725 go bales the period of 1852 increase OF 572 80 bales These facts certainly would appear to indicate probability OF high range Of prices.

On this subject MesSrs Neilt Bros. remarks: Complaints of drought continue, and are becoming more numerous than heretofore This season thus far has been unusually dry; but cotton being dry wealth or plant has the whole done WELL and sustained little positive damage up to the present time. At the same Time serious results are apprehended the high lands should the drought be prolonged much further and in places the plant has already ceased growing, and tie top balls rpenng, while, the other hand heavy rains during the maturing and picking season would be equally injurious.

A BABY SHow.-The Memphis AuaIanchc thus describes baby show at the recent fair held in that city: After nurses and babies had all been collec- ted in rear of the judges stand, the secretary called them into the arena in the order in which they had been entered, and the babies belong ing to the twenty-seven ladies were carried into the ring for the inspection of the bachelor judges. Ranged in front of the northern grand stand stood the nurses, with their little charges in their arms or in petite carriages, ana the sight was peculiar one. There were babies OF Of all kinds, and of all ages, that is to say, OF all months Under twelve for Wheeler, Dickens & Co. in presenting the beautiful little perambu- lator had distinctly bargained that it should be presented t'to the finest baby under one year old on exhibition at this fair" The blue-eyed blondes were in the majority, although there were many bruneGtes, dark-colored and placid. The boys seemed to be livelier than the girls, and laughed, and "crowed" in manner that was delightful to behold. The mammas tried every subterfuge to make their babies smile, laugh and crow, and sundry comfts and cakes were called into requisition. One blue-eyed lad of about ten months was very attractive, and his efforts to swallow scarlet worsted ball four inches in diameter excited universal ad- miration. The task of the judges was no ordi- nary one, but they faced the music like men, and gazed the juveniles nearly out of counte- nance while examining their points" Health, strength, "heft" and good looks we're all taken into account, and the judges moved silently and steadily along the line, their every motion papa and mamma. Some of the babies started at the portly figure of Mr.. Hamilton as he marched at the head of his forces, and looked as if they had slight glimmering of what it was all about, and they looked up smilingly, while others presented sombre faces, with tears in their eyes and mouths all a-pout 1twas in deed an interesting

Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Knight made their appearance at the New Portland Theatre be- fore good audience, last night in Otto. A review of the piece was given in the PRESS when it was produced in this city some time ago. The piece has been changed slightly since its last representation here, and for the better in all cases, making it an admirable framework for displaying the inimitable char acter portraits given by Mr.. and Mrs. Knight. Both of these favorite artists were greeted with rounds of applause upon their entrance, and the songs and other specialties introduced by them were most favorably received. Mrs Knights voice has apparently gained in bril- liancy during her absence, and her singing is so free from effort, yet so thoroughly artistic, that it is rare treat to hear the simple melo- dies introduced by her in the several acts A new English song, "Oh George, tell them to stop" is very good. Mr. Knight is quite as much the ideal German lad as when he left these shores, his conception of the part en- titling him to front rank in the great char acter actors OF the day. The company in sup port is well suited to the work assigned its members. HowARTH's HIBERNICA.
