In tlui city of Canton alone it i* estimated that 300.000 persons dwell upon the surface of lite river; the boats, some times twenty or thiity deep, cover some miles; and have their wants supplied by nmbulatcy salesmen, who wend their way through every accessible passage. Of this vast population, some dwell in decorated river boat* used for every put pose of license and festivity?for ihentie-s?for conceits? for fen-Is?for gambling?for lust?for solitary and social recreations; some crafts aro employed in convovinir nmwl* #n/l n?o?<.i.. ? t ~-r "o a .... . |"y,rv,? i gers, and are in a statu of constant activity; * others arc moored, and their owners enga- t ged as servants or laborers on shore.

Ousivorocsness.?Tlie Chinese, again, w liave no prejudice whatever ns regards J, food; they eat anything and ever) thing (, from which thoy can derivo nuiriiion. Dogs, especially puppies, ate linhiiually ^ cold for food; and I have seen in the butch* ers' shop* la'ge dogs skinned and hanging |f wiili thcii viscera by the side of pigs and J| go*in. Even to rats and uiice the Chinese M have no objection?neither to the flesh of cj fuotikeya and stinks; the sea slug is an aristocratic and co-tly delicacy w hich is never wanting, any more than the edible birds' tij nt a i"enat tthcre lK>ror is intended ft *e >e done lo (he guest*. Unhatched ducks ind chickens are a favorite dish. Nor do arl v Mage* of putrefaction create any dislust; rotten eggs are not condemned toperlitinn; in the more acceptable when it ihh a sti<?nti fragrance and flavor to give note gusto to the rice. As the food the Chinese cat is for the most part hard, oarso, and of little cost, so their beverages ire singularly economical. Drunkenness is rate vice in China, and fcimculed spirits >r strong drink ate seldom used. Tea mav >o said to ho the national, the universal leverage, and though that employed by the Multitude doe* not cost more than front Ud. o Gd. per lh.,nn infusion of less costly leaves ! s commonly employed, especially in localises remote from tea districts.

M atiumoniai. Pkcvuaiuties.?The mariago of children is one of the great con- ; ems of families. Scarcely is a child born I ii the higher tanks of life ere the question ' ?f its futuio e?pousal becomes a frequent opic ?.?f discussion. There is a largo IhhIv ! f professional match makers, xvhoso luisi- , less it is to put all the preliminary ar- I angements in train, to settle questions of | lowry, to accommodate differences, to re-j I tor t 011 the pros and cons of suggested al- ' iances. There being no hereditary lion >r* in China?except those which reckon ! ipwurds from llio distinguished son to the ! ather. the grandfather and the whole line >f ancestry, which may bo enobled by the iterary or martial genius of a descendant! ? the distinctions of caste are unknown, and i successful student even of the lowest oii- j jin would he deemed a fit match for the Host opulent and distinguished female in lie community. The severe laws which rrohihil marriages within certain degrees ?f affinity (they do not, however, interdict t with a deceased wife's si>ter) tend to' nako marriage more prolific, and to pro- j luce a healthier race of children. So strong ! s the objection to the marriage of blood re- | ations, that a man and woman of thesamo sing or family name cannot lawfully wed. Making a Biii'bsels Lace Collaii.? fn crochet woik, the Brussels lace colar i- j nade in the following mannei: Make a hain ten inches long. For the fiisl row, ; lose long crochet: second row,make a chain ' if five, join it to the last row on even iiird chain stitch, with a double ciochel ' litcli, again five i bain siitclie*. joining them >. o the work every third stitch: thiid row, ; nuke a chain of tiro loops and join llieiu j >y a double crotchet stitch to tin) centre j titch of the chain, in the hot row; the ourtli, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth rows ire done in llio same manner as the third, md the thread is then broken utl and join d at the neck part, so as to woik round such end.

The stocking stitch is neither more I illicit It. nor tedious than the dam, yet how natty pairs of stockings are lost for want ot , mowing it, when a hole happens to he diovo the shoe. Practice in lace stitches s desirable, particularly for repaiting lace >f cosily description; the deficiency of a single loop, w hen laco is washed, often becomes 1 large hole during the operation, and the i reality of laco is d?\?tro\ed. The shawl titcli is also important, for bv employing it villi rave'lings from the shawl itself, ihe 1 lost cosily onus can ho repaired with gieal >ei feet ion. Arranoino the Dinner Table.?The astditly of a tnislross, before sitting down o dinner, or before the arrival of her guests, ' s to see that the table is proputly laid oui ml dressed; good servants know how to ! lit this very well; hut it is the duty of the nistie>s of tlio house to see it done, in outer hat them may be no occasion of einbarras- ; neat on assembling to he seated.

A number of politicians, all of whom wero seeking office under government, were scattered on the tavern-porch, talking, when nu ol?l toper, namtd I) , came up to them. Said 1> in n |>enon who is very loquacious when "corned," but exactly opposite when sober. At the pi .went time being "light," he said if the company had no objections he would tell them a storv. They told him to "lire away;" whereupon he spoke as fid lows: "A certain king?don't recollect his name?-had a philosopher, upon whose judgment he always depended. Now it so happened that one day the king took it in to Ilia head logo a hunting, and after stun moiling his nobles, and making all the necessary prepatalions, lie summoned his philosopher and asked him if it would rain. | The philosopher told him it would not, and ho and his nobles departed. While jour neying along, they met a countryman mounted on a jackass; ho advised them to return, 'for,' said he, 'it will certainly lain.' They smiled conlemptuoiisiv upon him, ar.d passed on. liefoto they had gone ma uy miles, however, they had reason to regret not having taken the rustic's advice, as a heave shower rnmiinr nt? lli?v u-mim (benched to the skin. When they hud ro j turned to tho palace, the king reprimanded I ho philosopher severely for telling liiin that it would ho clear when it win not. '1 met a countrymen," said he,'and lie knows a great deal more than you, for he told me it would rain, whereas you told me it would not' "The king then gave tho philosopher his walking paper, and sent for the countryman, who made his appearance. 'Tell tue," said the king, how you knew it would rain?' 'I didn't know," said tho uistic. 'inv jackass told me.' 'And how, piav, did he tell you?' the king asked in astonishment. 'By piick ing up his ears, your majesty." The king now sent the countryman away; procuring the jackass, he placed him in the oflice the philosopher had filled. And here, observed I) ,lookiug very wise, hero is where the king made a mistake. 'How so?' inquired his auditors. Why, ever since that time, said I) , with a giin on his phiz, every jackass wants an office." A (?ood One. ? Dr. Magoon, recently, in a lecture on "Mind your Business,' told the following good one; A young man went from New York city to the west, where he commenced business on hi* own account, and manietl. His fiicnds in the city were interested in his welfare, ami when a merchant was ahotil to journey to the place whe?e the young man had located, he was requested to visit the einigianl and ascertain how lie lived, what sort of wife ho had chosen, his nrosneets. I I * ?fcc. Accordingly the New Yorker ascer I.dnc?l tiie residence of his y oung ft iend, and called upon him quite early in the morning. He found Itiin in a small nont cottage, and just taking Ids breakfast. The introduction of the New Yorker to his wife was quite oil hand and unceremonious, and was requested to he seated, and partake of the inoinitig meal. The young wife had prepared the i steak, hiscuit, and cotiee with her own j hands, and for a tahle had u?ed Iter knead | ing hoaid, over which a napkin was spread, and the "board" placed on her lap. The New Yorker declined a seat at the tahle, and took his leave. On making his teport to his New York friends as to how lie found his young friend living.lie described tliestyle as ' magnificent!'' and for explanation of I the superlative lie said, that were he the owner of that young man's furniture, lie would not take ten thousand dollars for the logs of his tahle! Poker I'laving.?The poker players on the Mississippi river, are, by all accounts, had customers, and many are the dreadful stories that ate told about them. A parly ou hoard one of the Mississippi boats, while earnestly engaged in this famous game, were much annoyed by a tall gentleman, 1 who, with a sanctimonious visage and Itol low tone, pleached against the wickedness of their ways, as lie walked to and fro heside them. Kvor and anon, in the earnestness of his discourse, he stopped behind one of the players, and, as if to lender his words more impressive, brought his hand down licatilv on the table. A rough hack woodsman observed that this last action was attend ed w i ill a peculiarity, inasmuch as the preacher sometimes placed one, sometimes three, and sometimes four fingers 011 the table. Without saying a word, he quietly drew his howie knife, and placed it by his side. Watching his opportunity w hen Ins clerical friend again placed his hand on the table, quick as a flush he chopped otF three fingers at a single blow. The pre tended clergyman .started hack with panic and affright. "Sir," said the book woodsman, coolly wiping hi* knife, "you may consider yourself devilfish lucky that I did not hold tours, or you would have lost nil your liuSerrt." m Good ir True.?The following about "II. I'.," meaning Iliram l'iersoji, the Yankee who hint been hitting on the Russian litrone and doing other forbidden J things, and pa) ing dear for tiro whistle, generally, is told by tlie San Francisco ( Newsletter; Tlie Inst story told of our eccentric California millionaire. Col. 11. ]'., (we don't mention names,) run* tliii*: Travelling upon a tun all steamer in Europe, having taken his dinner, he commenced the enjoyment of his segnr on deck, when lie was politclv in < formed by the Captain that smoking was against tire rules of the boat. Our (riend, not caring to be deprived of Ins fuinigatorial enjoyment, retired forward and pull ml aw>?y for dear life. I be Captain, finding ; Iris pnssenger still rebellious, again in preuunptory tone informed Irirn of tho rule, i I must smoke, said the Colonel. Can't, -aid 'ho Captain. Come, said the Colonel, I'll buy your boat. What is tlie price! Have no power to sell, replie d the Captain. L'au you charter for the voyage, risked C"l. I*., and if ? >, what's your figure! Three i u ml red pounds, answered the Captain. ' iJone, says the Colonel, and then for tho mjoyinenl of his Havana. I he bargain a as concluded, the money paid, the papers xeciltQtl. Now your Excellency can coleel vour passage money, said the Captain, relieving lie had some crowned monarch m boanl in disguise. You navigate your 'raft, said the Colonel, anil I will arrange ho passage money- Gentlemen and ladies, aid he to the now gathered crowd, your assage is paid, and as there are no rules in litis boat, you can just smoke as much i is von please. Farmers the Greatest Pkpehtrians ik the Obu ntry.?The practical farmer fa, savs lite St. Lou fa Republican, undoubtedly the greatest walking citizen in the republic. Our tenders may bo skeptical about ihfa. j I til I let any one of them follow the track of a cultivator of one hundred acres of corn dining the summer, and he will travel a distance that, measuied with a smveyor's chain, would scarcely fall short of live thou ' sand niil??. Thine is, in fact, before the I farmer who determines on planting one | hundred ftciel of corn, a journov of more t than four thonsand miles. Every farmer who cultivates a thirty-acre field journeys , twelve 01 fiften hundred miles. There are j inoie than two miles of rows in an acre of corn planted four feet apart. (In an acre, ; four rods wide by forty long, there are six- I teen and a half rows, each one eighth of a mile long) Reckoning four furrows to each row there arc eight miles of ploughing in breaking up an acre. It takes two mile's of ptoughiug to lay off one way and two miles the other, two miles walking to drop, ami two miles hoeing or ploughing to cover, or eight miles travel to lay oil'and plant an acie. Then there are four miles of ploughing in cultivating the first time, go ing one round each row; four miles the second, six the third, where the middle is broken out, and b'ix the fourth, or twenty miles ploughing in cultivating one acre. Sometimes the corn is ploughed less than thfa; often it is ploughed more. So far we have , thirty six miles of travel ill the breaking up, planting, and cultivating one acre. Add . to this six miles or more of walk in cutting , and allocking, with re planting, thinning i out, Ac., dec., and there are nearly fifty iniles walking in overy acre cultivated, or ; five thousand in one hundred acres, as above stated. What thousands and millions of miles are travelled on foot every season by onr fanners! Such foot journeys, ' of so many miles, across the continent would he chronicled as among liiu noticea' hie pedestrian feats of the times. The farI mer is. in fact, the great pedestrian of the age, and lie goes plough in hand. We | have, however, noticed only his walking along the rows and furrows. If to it we add the walks of Ilie farmer to ami from his field, his walks about his grounds, we should swell the length of his annual jour i ney h much beyond the figures we Iihvo in dicated, ?* ineusu'itig the actual distances he travels every year. The spirit of Aineiican invention has been busily at wotk taxing its ingenuity to piovidu home means of abridging the number of the steps taken every year by our farmers in cultivating their crops of corn. The corn planter, in some shape, ; accomplishes this, ami has relieved the ag| riculturist of hundreds of miles of journeying. The secretary of an agricultural socie } ty repotts that he planted last season one hundred and fifty acres of corn, and saved nine hundred utiles of walking by laying oti his field with a four row marker, and I dropping and covering with a two-row corp planter. Had he marked otl with a plough, (all the rows one way, and half the rows the other,) he would still have saved six j- hundred miles in the one hundred and fifty acres, or four miles per acre. And this can always be done in the most rough and | stumpy fields. The corn was in all respects as well planted in this way as by the old hand hue and plough method. Men with Tails.?All the scientific re search bestowed on Africa fails to confirm the reported existence ol a emulated race of negroes in the interior of Africa. Mr. T. 1J. Bowen, who spent several yeais in the interior of Central Afiica, as a missionary of the Southern Baptist Board, makes the fol lowing reference to the subject in his recently published narrative. In speaking of Nasainu, the executioner of the King of Lloirtn, (an interior city of at least 70,000 inhabitants.) and othcis with whom lie conversed lie says: "The Moors and Arabs, who had been everywhere, had told tliein wonderful stories of still other countries ami tribes far otl in the cast. Sntilewheie on the other side of \ akotiha is a tiibe of people called Alakt'ic, none of whom are more than three feet in height. The chiefs are a little tall er than the common people. The Alakero are very ingenious people, especially in working iron, and they aro so industrious liial ili?>ir towns art* surrounded hv i on walls.

'1 lie next tiibe iii order are the Alabiwoe, who have a small horn pr<-j,-cling from the middle of their forehead. K>>r all that, they are a nice kind of black people, and quite intelligent. A woman of this tribe is now in slaveiy at Olfi, near Ilorrin. She always wears a handkerchief around her head, because she is ashamed of her horn. There are other people in this 'l>oko' region who have four eyes, and others who live entirely in subterranean galleries. These won ders wore attested by n lives ami Arabs."
