THE CHINESE DiFLDX. How John's Attention was Turned 'to the ? United States. San Franco), Febrw^|12..v The Mongolian octopus bus' fastened its tentacles upon the Pacific Slope, and is fast destroying its. commercial and social life. The people of this region cry aloud that tbeyjcay be succored m their extremity. There appears to be but one . echo to the recent act of Coogress, and . tha;is, "Sign the bill and free us from - the demoralizing and degrading contact with the present coolie systemlimit 'tho influx, of Celestials, and protect the industries, and health, and home-life of our people; lift the burden that has >? borne us down, and give to the progres? sive inhabitants of this section an oppor ;; tuuity.to develop its resources upon a prosperous and compensating basis." You have already learned by wire how earnest and emphatic have been the pro? test against vetoing tho Ch inese bill. ?V- Oui people were never more earnest in their'lives. As this subject is being dis? cussed, it may'be interesting to consider for a moment bow and when the Chinese began flocking to our shores. " Ah Haw, who is with the Sam Yeoup Company, on Dupont street, says the first Chinaman who came tc America < was Chum Ming, a native merchant of Nr.i Sang, a province of Canton. He was an intelligent and enterprising man, and came over here from bin home in 1S47. Going from this point to the '.mountains he began prospecting, and ; ..was successful 'it finding gold. The dis? covery caused him to convey the intelli? gence to a friend named Cheong Yum, -in . 1848, and this latter individual at once prepared to join his former com . panion in-the new Eldorado. The news was so good that Cheong Yum, before - setting sail from the flowery shores of his native Empire, broke the intelligence to several of bis friends, "and the mining fever at once broke out in all the viru ? . ' lence of an actual epidemic disease. *The - present excitement East over the repu? ted Leadville discoveries was nothing y. compared with tho fever that prevailed j away back in 1848 amongst the popula? tion of Canton over alleged "finds" of gold in the mountains of Cliafornia. , .Means of transportation were not as per ? - feet then as now; there were no Pacific V Mail steamers to bring them over by thousands, and so .they came out, like "Sir Joseph's "sisters and cousins" in . "Pin;ifore," "by the dozens," on sailing vessels. ' When in 1349 tho Argonaula of the East began flocking to this coast in quest of the auriferous deposits of our streams, the Chinese population . had as yec amounted to but an insignificant feature. . Within four years following arrivals were nio^e frequent and in larger propor ? tions, so that by the- close of 1S52 there '<:. were perhaps' 4,000 Celestials on the r coast, and ot this number about 2,000 were located in San Francisco.' The first Chi /. ' naman who settled in San Francisco lo ' catod on what is now Stockton street, near Sacramento, and in that s ame re ?' gion the Mongolians have ever since ' lived, and finally covered over what is now designated Chinatown. When it became apparent that Chinese immigra ". tiou was a settled fact, steps wero at once taken, through the native shrewdness of the Chinese themselves, to control it, and take care of their own interest. It was then that the Yeoung Wo and Kong i Chow Companies? tbj first of the pre? sent, Six Companies?were organized ' and began the business of aiding Chi? nese immigration. The Sam Yeo ap Com? pany was organized in 1857, and was joined to the first-mentioned associations. Later, when the influx of Mongolians had greatly increased, came the forma tf.pfthe King Yeong, Hop Wo, and Yan .\Wo Companies, and the whole number ^ were consolidated as the famous Six Companies, of which so much has of late \ been said and written. The immigra? tion of the better class of Chinese, the merchants, it may be said, is attributable to the Sam Yeoup and .the Yecuing Wo Companies. Tho servants and lower ?classes generally, who have since formed the most disreputable element of the Chinese population,?now designated as "highbinders,"?were brought out by the Ning Yeoung Company. Sfe-So numerous did the Chinese element become that it drove out, before 1864 -v- the white population from Sacramento to ... Commercial street on the east side of Stockton street, east on Commercial to ? Dupont, and north on Dupont to Jack <r> son, and south on the same street to Sac? ramento. During 1864 they increased the territory from Jackson and Dupont streets, east on Jackson to Kearney and >rfiorlh on Dupont to Pacific, and thence east on that street to Kearney. Since that time they have gradually encroach? ed upon the white population, until they occupy an area of eleven blocks, boun? ded by Pacific street on the north, and Kearney and Stockton streets on tho east and west. The area within these borders is thirty-three acres, of which?deduct? ing for streets and alleys?twenty acres .are covered with buildings of all des? criptions, rickety one-story wooden shan .'. ties aUd four-story bricks. This once /. formed the best part of the city, where >? were located most of the high-toned ho . tels ; but churches, residences and hotels, have been forced further out by the on marching Asiatics. Wo find that the Chinese population of San Fraucisco isabout 32,000, and they follow the subjoined occupations in the numbers designated, as nearly as can be ascertained: Merchants and professional men.... 1,000 . Laundryman.1,500 * Cigarraakers..5,000 Boot and shoemakers. 2,000 Servants.7,000 .Slippermakers....'.. 8,000 Gamblers. 1,400 . Clothing-makers.3,000 Poddlers.2,500 Fishermen.1,000 Laborers... 1,000 0:her occupations.3,800 Women.2,000 - Total. 32,000 Go where you will in San Francisco, ycu find the Chinese, and from the bay to the foothills and the boundary lines of San Mateo. As to the rapid growth of the Celestials here Lee Kan, who is ?interpreter at the Bank of California, furnishes some very interesting statistics. He says: Chinamen began to do busi? ness here in 1850, and their stores were first opened on Dupont and Sacramento streets. During 1853-54 the influx was very great. In 1860 the total number of | Chinese in the United States was about 60,000. In 1870 there were fully 80.000. There are now on this Continent about 180,000 Chinese, 150,000 of whom are here on the Pacific coats. He believes the Chinese population of San Francisco will mach 30,000, of whom about 25,000 live in the territories of Chinatown.

According to Congressman Charles Foster, who, by the way, aspires to the Govenorship, the influence of the next election in the Buckeye State will be far reaching and important. In a recent interview he- says: "This electiou will determine whether Tilden or Thurman will be the Democratic candidate. If | the Republicans carry Ohio, Tilden and the hard-money element will dom? inate, on the theory that New York is es? sential to Democratic success. John Phoenix and Jeff. Davis. , A New York correspondent of the In? dianapolis Journal gives the following interesting reminiscence of the late John Phoenix?Lieutenant Derby, of the U. S. Army: When Frauk Pierce was President, Jeff. Davis, then secretary of war, issued a general invitation to officers of the army who were skilled draughtsmen to send in suggestions for the new uniform which it had been decided to adopt. Oue such invitation wa3 sent to each officer. Lieutenant Derby was very ready with his pen?a really ingenious artist. Iu reply he sent to the War Department a design for a new uniform?or rather a peculiar addition to the old uniform? the amendment consisting merely of a ring attached to the scat of trousers of each private soldier. Each officer was to carry, instead of a sword, a long pole with a book in the end like a shepherd's crook. The pole and the ring enabled officers to keep privates from runuing away iu battle. Fugitives could easily be caught by it and brought back. Stragglers could be kept in line. More? over, the ring would be very useful in the cavalry services to fasten soldiers to the saddle to prevent them falling off; and in the artillery service the rings were to be used for draught purposes in the absence of mules. The specifications were accompanied by tho most grotesque pictures, represen? ting officers hauling back cowardly re? cruits by the serviceable ring, cavalry se? curely fastened to the top of their steeds by the same device, and artilleryman harnessed to cannon, drawing them through narrow defiles, or up an accliv? ity inaccessible to mules, by cables at? tached to the posterior staples. On another sheet of bristol-board was an illustration in gaudy colors of "Der buy's Rotary mnle Howitzer,'' accompa? nied by the following description: "Upon the back of a young and vigi laut mule strap a mountain howitzer, the murale pointing towards the tail. A similar piece of ordinance is fastened with iron bands under the animal's ab? domen, the muzzle aimed between his fore-legs to tho front. There are ^ four gunners, two to each piece, and a 'per suader,' as he is called, whose business it is to persuade the mule to stand firm and not retreat, by stuffing bim with oats, after each discharge, with a tin Bausage stuffer. When Indians, or other legit? imate game appear in view, the mule ia, by a crank movement on tho tail, lim? bered to the front. It don't make any difference which way the mule faces (and there is where my patent comes in) one gun is always pointing towards the front. At the command 'Fire!' the top howit? zer is discharged. The recoil throws the mule on his back, bringing the second gun into position. This, is discharged, which suddenly throws the mule to his feet again, when the gunners swab out the mule's throat with hey and reload." The accompanying illustrations (in brown, red, blue and gold, and still on file in the War Department), repressn ted the rotary mnle in seven different attitudes, looking contented and happy all the time. This was felt to be outrageous audaci? ty on the part of a subaltern. The clerks in the War Department laughed at the fonny letter immoderately, but their su? periors looked serious. Jefferson Davis, the head of the department, was terribly I indignant, and resolved to defend his ! wounded dignity. Charges and specifi? cations were drawn up against Lieuten? ant Derby, and the officers were actually named for bis court-martial, wheu Win. L. Marcy, Secretary of State, a man of more sense and self-poise, said to the irate Secretary: "Now, see here, Gene? ral Davis ; don't do it. This Derby has undoubtedly a superfluous development of| humor. But he is shrewd and inge? nious, and really a fine draughtsman. He has valuable qualities. You can organize a court that.will convict bim, but you will be a butt of ridicule for it all your life. Better file the suggestions of the crook and ring and the lively rota? ry mule, and say nothing." . And ho did. WhataMuxeCan Do.?This mule looked like he was 188 years old, and was dead standing upon, his feet. He was hitched to a pine-bodied spring wagon with a high dash-board. The "team" was standing on the levee in mute silence, while the old darkey who "drib" it went aboard the wharf boat. A tramp could make a barrel of money selling pictures of that mule labeled "Patience." His long, flabby ears hung down each side of his head like window awnings with the rods out of them. Iiis face wore a sober look, while out of his mouth hung a tongue eight inches Ion";. His tail swung down from the rear-end of his hurricane roof like a wet rope, while his whole body seemed as motionless as death itself. Presently a red-headed ur? chin, with an old boot in his hand, walk? ed up in front of him, and, lookiug into his face, saw that the mule was asleep. He walked around, climbed up into the wagon, leaned over the dash-board, lifted that mule's tail, and let it come down in time to snatch a death-grip on that boot-leg. The mule woke up so 3uick that he kicked the boy and the ash-board twenty feet into the air. He didn't stop there. He changed the posi? tion of his ears, hauled in his tongue planted his fore-feet and his head he tween his knees, and from the fore shoul? ders to tho tip of hin trunk was in lively motion, aud he didn't look like he was more than two years old, the way ho was kicking that old wagon body into kind? ling wood with his heels. He had it all to himself, and was doing finely, when the old darkey rushed up the hill, got in front of him, grappled him by each ear, shouted, "Whoa! I tell you. Wha's de matter wid you? Whoa up 1" and, looking around at the crowd, yelled, "Will som o'yer gemmen git dat ar boot leg out wile 1 hold him ? kase de waggin's mine, an' I jes borrowed de mule." But no one ventured, and when wo left his heels had almost reached the tail-gate, and the old darkey was still yelling, "Whoa!" ?Louisville Courier-Journal. Whipping Post.?The whipping pGst is said to have worked well in Virginia. Cases of petty larceny and the criminal charges of the States have sensibly fallen off since its adoption, and the Senate stands by the lash by decided majority, on a motion to repeal the law sanction? ing its use. A colony of 900 negroes working in a Pender County, N. C, quarry have voluntarily adopted the whipping post to suppress thieving among themselves. The jury of their own choice finds the guilty out every time, and the plan seems to be a success in keeping things straight. Missouri and several other States are now consid? ering the advisability of employing the same means to punish the petty thieves and other scamps who fear no penalty a3 much, and just now the tide seems to set toward the whipping post as more effec? tive with petty criminals than confine? ment or fines. Economic Aspect.?The ecomomic aspect is a strong point in favor of Dr. Price's Special Flavoring Extracts, Va? nilla, Orange, Rose, Almond, Lemon, etc. They are three times the streugth of the ordinary extracts: tho bottles hold nearly twice as much as those sold for tho same size. ?

( Women ix China.?The condition of women in China is most pitiable; suffer? ing, privation, contempt, all kinds of misery and degredation seize on her in her cradle, and accompaying her piti? lessly to her tomb. Her very birth is commonly regarded as a humiliation and disgrace to the family?an evident sign of the malediction of Heaven. If she is not immediately suffocated, she is looked upon and treated as a creature intrinsical? ly despicable, and scarcely belongiug to the human race. This appears so incon? testable ft fact, that Panhoupan, celebra? ted, though a woman, among Chinese writers, endeavors in her works to hu? miliate her own sex by reminding them constantly of the inferior rank they oc? cupy iu the creation. "When a son is bftrn," she says, "he sleeps on a bed, he is clothed with silk, and plays with pearls; every one attends to his princely cries. But when a girl is born she sleeps upon the ground, is meanly wrapped up in a cloth, plays with a tile, and is inca? pable of acting either virtuously or vi? ciously. She has nothing to think of but preparing food, making wine, and not vexing her parents." Even after mar? riage her case is not improved. Ac? cording to expressions of an old Chinese writer, "the newly married wife should he but a shadow and an echo in the house." She has no right to take her meals with her husband; nay nor even with her male children; her duty is to serve them at table, to stand by them in si? lence, help them to drink, and light their pipes. She must eat alone, and af? ter they have done, and in a corner; her food is scanty and coarse, and she would not dare to touch even what is left by her own sons. It may be thought that this does not well agree with the much talked-of principles of filial piety; but it must not be forgotten that in China woman counts for nothing; the law ig? nores her existence, or notices her mere? ly to load her. with fetters, to complete her servitude, and to confirm her legal, incapacity. Polygamy is allowed; and the heartrending jealousies and quarrels that thence ensue lead te numerous sui? cides. A Comedy of Eititons.? A solon of the Seriate occupied the same house with a clerk of the same name. As both are mod? est, elderly gentlemen we will call oneSen ator Bang and the other Simon Bang. One has a modest little attic, and the other a handsome suite of apartments on the ground floor. Both gentlemeu bad ordered suits of clothes?the Senator from Timms &Co., the leading fashiona? ble tailor of the national capital; the clerk from a little box of an establish? ment that looked as if one could run a stick through, shoulder up and march off. As luck would have it the parcels containing the two suits arrived nearly at the same time, and the stupid girl, not well up in writing, mistook S. Bang for Senator Bang, and Senator Bang for S. Bang, aud so served the clothes. The Senator is a simple-wayed old gentleman, and donned the common suit unsuspec? tingly, while the clerk, thinking thostuff he bad selected made up far better than he anticipated, did the same. The results was the digniGed solon was refused admission to the floor of the House because of his common appear? ance, while the clerk bloomed into a gentleman. So marked was his appear? ance that a widow he had been court? ing for several years accepted him at once and uamed the happy day. But for the interference of Timms, the fashionable tailor, who getting wind of bis best customer's extraordinary clothes, resolved himself into a detective, tbo error never wolucl have been rectified. As it was the poor clerk was arrested, with his bride, on their way to church, and the poor lady, so lately wed, had to furnish the money to buy off her newly made husband. As it was, woman-like she got comfort from punishing the most innocent man of the affair. She wroto the unsuspecting Senator a sarcastic note begging him to accept her hus? band's clothes, which he was then wear? ing, as'a present.? Wsahingtor. Capital. The Irish Language in Ireland.? Early in the present century the Irish language was spoken more or less in every county througout Ireland. It is estimated.that one-fourth of the gross population, or about 1,000,000 people, spoke English exclusively, while prob? ably an equal or somewhat greater num? ber knew Irish only. In the interve? ning period down to the present time, a great change has taken place, as is con? clusively shown iu the census of 1861 and 1S71. In all Ireland, now only about lC2,400,or one in thirty-six of the gross population, still know no othor torgue than Irish. When Charleton first issued his "Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry" bis narratvie contained a large number of Irish words, which in subsequent editions he found it necessary to move, as they were no longer under? stood, and Dr. Hume tells us that even in their modified form, there are hun? dreds, probably thousands, in Dublin who cau not enjoy Ctarleton's stories. The existing dialect, which is more or less prevalent over the thirty-two counties, with, of course, local variations here and there, is the result mainly of the suc? cessive English and Scottish immigra? tions.?Saturday Review. Is the Pope Superstitious??Oie morning Leo XIII, was about to cat some raw eggs, as it was his wont every morning, and requested Commander Stcrbini, the gentleman serving him, to bring him some salt to cat with them. Stcrbini, presenting the salt on a solid silver tray, accidentally let it slip from bis bands, and the salt fell but only on the table. The Pope rose imme? diately, carefully looked to seo whether any of the grains had reached the ground. "Only see," he said, "the salt is upset, and, bad it fallen on the ground, I be? lieve I should not have got over it to? day." He then took out a pocket book and noted the fact, observing at the same time, "that we shall see whether weshall have some beloved cardinal to deplore before long." Nine days after the sad news of Cardinal Asijuini'sdeath reached tbo Vatican, and the Pope, handing to Sterbini his pocket book, requested him to read aloud to those around the note he had made nine days before. Then breaking the silence, he said: "Had the salt been scattered on the floor in? stead of upon the table, as was the case, verjly I believe I should be standing now before the Judgment Seat." The Second Tunnel Beneath the Alp.?.?The great St. Got hard?after passing through many vicissitudes, will be ready for traffic some lime next year. It has already been bored for a distance of little more than seven and a half miles, which is seventy feet more than the length of the Mont Cenis. There re? mained on January 5 only 2,922 yards to be cleared, and if the work progresses as rapidly as last year, when 2,772 yards were bored, the two companies of work? men who started from the Italian and Swiss ends would meet in January, 1SS0. Geologists have calculated that there is a lrard stratum of serpentine and schist yet to pass, and if this proves true the work cannot proceed so rapidly. But in any event the workmen are likely to meet before tbe year progresses many months beyond Jnnuary. The tunnel's length will be more than a mile and a half greater than that of Mont Cenis, and the total cost several million pounds sterling more.

Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes to-pid it is nut separated from the blood, but car? ried through the veins to all pans of Nie system, and in trying to escape through the pon s of t!i? skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty bnnra color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys pcpr.ia. Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bill? jousness, JaunJicc, Chills, Malarial Fevers. Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol? low. Mbrrbi.l's Hcpatinb, the great vegetable discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bile each time ?ie blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex? cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking:' skin, will astonish all who trylt?they being the first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili? ous diseases and Liver complaint Is made certain by taking Hei-atinr in accordance with directions. Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial Is given. SOLD AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PILLS BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
