... TUE 'CHIMESE AT HOM*. " An Interesting? Account of the Kennen, Oostumea ?od Halite, of th? Celestial S?nplre. Tb? Washington Pott contains an in teresting letter from Robert C. Murphy, ex-Cooeal General to Chira, from which we make tho following er bracts: The title to the land II. China lo Teated in fee simple in the Emperor ; all occu? panta are tenants merely, ami pay a -ent of |6 per acre. This forms the principal source of reTenne to the government. There the science of life is to lire, and as the soil is the original source of all wealth, their statesmen took care early to prevent the monopoly of tho land by the rich. Thia they effected by collecting their greatest tax from that source. Land is not held therefore in large tracts by single individ?ala, but in small par cels, which they cultivate and utilizo to the last foot. The endless chain-pump, all wood, which we claim to have discovered, but which waa used in Chins before Colum bus waa born, serves to furnish water for irrigation. It is worked by a buffalo cow, and is very simple. They are thus relieved from any reliance on the regu larities of the seasons. Two crops, and in some portions of the empire, three, are raised annually. In horticulture tho Chinese are adepts, trimming trees and shrubs to resemble in outline birds and wild animals, while they dwarf fruit trees to lilliputian di mensions yet bearing fruit. Tho country abounds in fruit such as grapes, melons, citron, oranges, lemons, limes, pomola, mango, mangustine, peaches, pears, Elums, apricotfl, lichees, custard apple, read fruit aud persimmon, Kinny of these in great variety, and all superior to the same kind of fruit raised in tho West Indies. An official dinner in China generally consists of fourteen courses. Tho last is the fruit, which, for taste, as displayed hy tho butler in ita arrangement, cannot bo surpassed in any part of tho world. Tho various fruits are grouped on pvra midnl dishes, each kind hanging from parts of their own vines or branches in terspersed with leaves, the whole en livened by the flowers of the jap?nica, which grow in a great variety of beauti ful tinta. Tho butler will chip off tho outer surface of a pomola, developing scenes ou tho fruit. A watermelon ho will treat the same way, bringing out farm scenes or perhaps marine view? with ships, etc The top he has cut off and extracted the core, in place of which he has poured a bottle of champagne ; it is then frozen for hours in tho ico chest Just before it is placed on the table he cuts it down in altees from tho top piece, which baa been cut like the teeth of . a saw and holde it together. At the proper time he removes the top by catching hold of tho red, white and blue ribbons . attached to it, when tho whole falls in slices over tho dish, a morsel that even s membor of "Brick Lane branch of thc Evangelical Teetotal Temperance Asso ciation" should be pardoned for enjoying The currency of China is eilver, connel and bank paper.

It would be exaggeration to say that pestilence has healed the wounds that war hns made, out it ls the simple truth that it bas done more than anything else towards tho restoration of ! B:oco to a land that in fulfillment of j aniel Webster's prophecy has been "rent with civil feuds and drenched with fraternal blood." War indeed compelled tho submission of rebellious States to the authority of the general government, en forced its authority and sc"red tho re spect therefor that always waits upon superior power. But tho wound** inflict ed by tho sword did not heal by first in tention. Twelve long years paused be fore-under tho benign and constitution al administration of President Hayes, at tho demand of the people who were weary of sectional bickering-tho condi tions of tho recovery of the patient were piesented. And now, in this fourteenth year after thc hopes of the Confederates wero burled in tho trenches at Appo mattox, there comes the cau*o and the token of completo reconciliation. Thc yellow fever, which has brought sorrow to so many homes and made whole cities desolate, has also touched thc secret springs of affection, and there pours forth a stream of beneficence that soothes if it does not heal, that gladdens tho heart of tho nation if it docs not extinguish all its sorrow. Truly this is thc consumma tion, the crowning victory of pence. In tin: spontaneity of charity, in thc eagerness to rush to the relief of our afflicted brethren in thc South, wo may easily forget how great is tho result thus manifested. Hut it is worth thinking about for a moment. It is not so long since we were at war with these people. It was a life mid death struggle? Crush ing disaster to our arms was tho one ob ject of their ambition ; their humiliation und destruction was tho ouly hope of preserving thc lifo of the republic. The cities of thc South were quarantined against us, not, ns now, against euch other. Grant was tightening tho coils about Vicksburg ; the Union gunboats wore showering shot and shell upon the defonscs of Mobile ; New Orleuns wad under tho heel of Butler; tho Whole South was the legitimate prey of war ; while Southern raiders rode rough-shod over Pennsylvania, Indiana ana Ohio. There were dark rumors of Southern plots for the burning of New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, mid BO doep was distrust and so rife suspicion that re ports thai ono suction was planning to sow tho seods of pestilence among tho people of tho other wore not without their believers. Looking back, it seems i like a page out of tho history of the dark I ages. But now how different is the spec tacle I Tho South Ls prostrate ; the North is in tears as for a suffering sister. Tbero ?B nothing that we would not do to reliovo ber distress. New York, with tho bounty of a city of princes, raises over $300,000 for tho Southern relief fund, and is still untiring in the good work. Philadelphia, whore there was, >erhaps, tho most conspicuous aud un linching opposition to tho old South, only asks how much is wanted. A hun dred thousand dollnra have gone south ward, and the dimes and dollars aro still falling into the boxes over which the yel low flag is waving ; if as much moro is needed it will bo forthcoming. Nor are the large cities the only almoners of the bounty of tho nntion. Every city, town and bamlot; every lodge, society and club; every church and theatre; every K-iop, store and factory esteems it a priv ilege to contribute for the furtherance of j tho good work, until for tolling the vast total the unit of millions is required. Tho sturdiest in war have been most ac tivo ic the kind office* of peace. But it is rather of the effect upon the South that we would dwell. Wo have dono no more than our duty, and vaunt ing our charity is vain glory indeed, Tho relief ot individual cases ot suffering and destitution, tho succor of whole cities, bereft of their means of making a living, is a great work, but that is n mat ter ot course. The North has dono no moro for the South in her extremity than the South would do for tho North if affliction were at our doors. Tho pleas ing thing about it all is that the South re?oives our aid in thc spirit of fraternity in which it is given. There is no abject acknowledgment of charity, no efTusivo exprcssiou of gratitude, but on every hand a manifestation of thorough appre ciation of good will. Ari is accepted as a new proffer of esteem, as an earnest of tho complote restoration of amity. No reader of Southern newspapers at this time, whether they bo the dingy half su?ota crowded with funeral notices that come from Memphis, the New Orleans dailies which have not suffered so severe ly, or the journals from communities still untouched by tho plague, cm fail to be impressed with the spirit of affection to wards the North which now permeates editorials, paragraphs and communica tions, anc is more impressive than the set languago of resolutions cr tho curt but kindly acknowledgment by telegraph. Affliction has brought this people nearer together. They realize as never before that they are one people ; wedded anew in the furnace of trial.

Slater, Democrat, who hos been elected United States Senator from Oregon, to succeed John H. Mitch ell, Republican, whose term expires March 4, 1870, was born in Sangamon County, III., in 1826. His early educa tion was limited, but he succeeded in mastering the intricacies of the law, and has been a successful practitioner at the bar. Ho emigrated to Oregon many years ago, and has been a_ prominent i/o;nocnitio politician ibero for ihe past score of years. He wac- elected to the Territorial Legislature in 1857, aud again in 1858, and then became a member of the lower house of the first Stato Legis lature. In 1866 he was elected District Attorney for the 5th Judicial District of Oregon, and filled that office two years. In 1870 he was elected lo represent tho State in Congress, but was not renomi nated for a second term. Mr. Slater re sides in .he eastern portion of tho State. He df clares h?s?elf an clouent of in flatico, but favors the substitution of greenbacks for national bank notes, and believes that the currency should be ph ced upon a coin basis. , ~ Tho Tallahassee Floridian saya tho Indians who wera taken from Florida last spring to Hampton Instituto, at Hampton Roads.

Governor Rico declines to put Gover nor Hampton's letter, relativo to the Kimpton matter, upon files in thc Exec utive Department, and has forwarded the following communication : EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, BOSTON, September 30, 1878. HU Excellency, Wade Hampton, Gover nor, Columbia, 8. C. Sin-I received, on Saturday last, an extraordinary official communication, r/idrassHl to me over your signature, tho. contents of which I had read In the newspapers three days before. I beg to remind your Excellency that any at tempted rebuke of Massachusetts by South Carolina for non-observance of constitutional or statutory obligations is refinement of sarcasm, which renders any other defenso of tho former State unnecessary. Tho treatment of the case of Hiram H. Kimpton by the authori ties of this Commonwealth was uninflu enced by any personal or political con siderations. Massachusetts lind no quar rel with South Carolina and no friendship for Kimpton, but was bound to extend to each their respectivo rights under the laws. Every courtesy, official and pcr fional, was extended to the representa tives of South Carolina. Unusual care was bestowed upon their investigation and consideration of thc case, and its decision was reached upon grounds of perfect impartiality, in accordance w!ch law and facts and with convictions of public duty. lu communicating this decision to your Excellency, my state ment that tho object of the requisition did not appear to bo for the purpose of trying Kimpton for crime charged against him, but for a different purpose, was simply a recital of fact contained in thc report of the Attorney General, a copy of which was furnished with my letter to you, and in his opinion and mine clearly established by evidence. Your Excellency's letter requires no argument in reply. It is sufficient to say that it contains statements to mislead thc pub lic, where facts are unknown. Its lan guage and untimely publication arc offensive and unjustifiable. I declino to accept it or permit it placed upon tho files of tho Executive Department of this Commonwealth. It is herewith re turned. Your obedient servant, A LEX ANDES H. RlCE, Governor. niTTINO THE VVuO NO MAN. - The following umusing incident occurred not long since in a denominational book ?tore, not a thousand miles from Corn hill, Boston : Amusing it certainly wan, though the hero of tho occasion has not regained his equanimity. Tho clerks in this store lind acquired the habit of playing on tricks upon euch other-practical joking they called it land ona of the tricks was this: If any ! of the clerks happened to see another in I a sitting posturo, selecting books from the lower shel ves, he would seize a board, perhaps part of a box cover, and smartly spank tho stooging victim. Jerry P- was ono of tho clerks, a simple-minded, good-natured fellow from Vermont, always ready and willing for the hardest kind of work, and prized by his em plover u accordingly. Jerry had been the chief victim of the spanking process, and he was determined upon revengo-not with malevolence, nor yet with indignation, but simply in the way of fair play. To this end ho lay low, watching an opportunity. One afternoon upon returning to the I store from an errand, tho longed-for op Sortunity seemed to present itself, aud erry seized it instanter. At tho far end of the long counte; he BOW an individual overhauling books on the very bottom shelf, his body bent at a most templing anglo. Jerry was suro it was Tom S-, from whoso hands ho had received many an emphatic spank, and now was the time to pay off old scores. So he selected a splendid board and creeping noiselessly along to tho spot, ho gave tuc stooping man a blow that sounded through tho store like the burst ing of a retort, and brough^ him to un erect position liken Jack in tho box. Hero was a fix. Tom S-, at the sound of tho blow, appeared from an other part of tho store, while tho gentle man who had been struck stood iu utter bewilderment, rubbing away at tho afflic ted part most assiduously ; and poor Jerry then discovered to his dismay and deep regret, thai he had struck his employer's Carson, the Rev. Dr. B-, wno had een curiously searching among a lot of , Old GfAek and llntirnur iw^rtlra J erry wept nilli ?li?m? ??? confusion, was forgiven ; and from that that partic ular species of amusement was discon tinued hi tho store. IN TU? WKONQ BunoY.-Last night two buggies stopped near the Capitol hotel and two gentlemen jumped out simultaneously and went in tho hotel, leaving two ladies in their respective buggies. One of tho men came out in advance of tho other, and by the uncer tain light thrown from the hotel, was led asido from the actual fact in the little matter of getting in tho right buggy; in n word, Mr. J. got in and drove off with Mrs. F., who were as totally unknown to each other, so far as acquaintanceship is concern?e.' os if ono had died ten years ago ia A f> lea, and tho other hadn't bean born. As married men often do, Mr. J. drove sumo distance before speaking. Finally bo remarked : > ' ~ "PTO got a corn on my too-tho ono you persist in putting your foot on, too that hurts about as bad as tho common run of things usually do." The lady was very much surprised, and rather haughtily replied, "You've been trying to pick a quarrel with mc all day, and now to make the matter moro exas perating you change your voice to an unnatural growl." "It's you, madam, who have changed. My voice is natural. I am > t trying to assume anything. You screech like an old gate." "You aro an old fool." "G?7o my teeth here ; you shan't wear tu??T? ????u?? ..?.i.-t^. "Teeth 1 teeth 1 What in the world do you mean ?" But just then, driving through a flood light, the parties recognized that they didn't recognize. "Madam," said Mr. J., stopping tho horse and straightening himself up, "I hope you will excuse me, but Pd like to know bow you came in mY huggV, and furthermore, Pd like a little intelligonco as regards the where abouts of my wife. What have you done with her. madam ?" "I don't know what you mean, sir. Get out of my baggy I" "Your buggy I Why, madam, you are besido yourself." "Yes, and beside yourself, which fact I deplore to such an extent that I will bo forced to call the police. Police I police," was shouted lustily, and when Officer Daily came to the spot the woman insis ted upon tho man's arrest. The buggy was driven back to the capitol just in time to meet another buggy, the occu pant? of which had asimilar experience. As our reporter came along Water Street last night, shivering with the chill night air, ana drawing bia overcoat tight ly about him, ho thought, "now is tho time fer colds and coughs," but if poor mortals only knew .what a certain cure Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is, how few would long suffer, and then it costs only twenty-five cen Cs.-Sanduiiy {Gb io) ?rjr itter, - .t ? -.i - "Do you reside in this city?" asked a gentloman of a masked lady at tho French ball tho other evening.

Peor Found to be Fire Time? Ltf,?iUr than (kirk. A few yean ago a shrewd hunter in the Western country eat about discovering why tho deer, an animai not especially adanted by naturo for lifo in tho water, could swim longer and keep afloat long er than any other quadruped. The result of bis investiga! i'ins was the discovery that the hair o? ?be doer differs from the capillary cove:.ng cf other auimaU in being remarkably cellular, and extreme!; well ndapted to retain air. Experiments with deer hair proved that it was won derfully buoyant. A Yankee named Peck was the first to utilize the discov ery, and after taking out a patent for the invention, ho f-^ld ii to Colonel M. A. Bryson, of St. Louis, who, associated with Mr. Thomas Knight, is applyiug tho material to practical usc*. The "Deer Hair Manufacturing Company" have their factory at 307 West street, where they make various articles intend ed to keep mankind from drowning. Their life buoy, in uso in the Unit/d ?States Navy, weighs only two and a half pounds, but it will sustain tho weight of two men. Their life corset, neighing only half a pound, will support the heaviest man, and their mattress, weigh ing eight pounds, with two Hquaro pil lows, weighing a pound and a quarter each, will uustuiu the weight of five per sons. The mattresses aro supplied with life lines at the sides, and, by Halting a number of these, a little raft can bo pro vided in a few momenta. All these ap pliances are made of duck well packed with deer hair. Another novelty is a life-preserving pillow, which can be used as a rest for tho head, and, at n mo ment's notice, converted into a life pre server. The life jacket fastens without straps, and can be worn under the coat witiiout inconvenience. The most interesting of the nu:ny in ventions of the company is a raft formed of two cigar-shaped cylinders, euch twen ty inches in diameter, packed with deer hair and connected by a flooring of wood. The cylinders are fifteen feet leng, and the whole apparatus weighs only three hundred pounds, lt has a sustaining capacity of 3,600 pounds, and room for thirty persons. In 187G a government commission made experiments with the deer hair, and re ported that one pound of it would sus tain a weight of ten pounds for three days. The latest test waa by a board of naval officers, who reported that after tho deer hair had been saturated for seven days it sustained in water twelve times its weight, thus showing a buoyancy five times greater than that of cork. Recently tho company hare adopted a method of removing the oil sud other extraneous matter from the hair, and by this means its buoyancy has beon in creased moro Iban one hundred per cent. Eloquent Utterances. The Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, made an eloquent and able speech in Atlanta, tho other day, and concluded with the following thrilling words: "We aro going to triumph. Every breezo that sweeps over the country bears us the glad tidings of increasing power of the Democratic party. We are going into power.

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection. Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to tho attacks of malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under such condi tions, infect a system which, if healthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. Tho on ly way to secure immunity from malaria in localities where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened digestion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. Tneso results are accomplished by nothing so effectively as Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, which lone experience has proved to bo tho most reliable safeguard against fever and ague and kindled disor ders, as well as tho best remedy for them. The Bitters are, moreover, on excellent In vlgorant of the organs of urination, and an active depuront, eliminating froth tho blood those acrid, impurities which originate rheumatic ailments. $20 Reward ! - will give thc above reward tor the ddlv M. ??ry, or information that- will lead to the recovery of Wm.
