JOHNSON', OF CALIFORNIA-A RADICAL, SKINNED.-In tho House, on Friday, Mr. Johnson, rising to ii personal ex? planation, referred to a remark mudo by Mr. Pile, in objeeting, some weoeka ago, to a resolution offered by him iu regard to tho citizenship of the Chinese in California-tho objectiounble expression being that the resolution wan ti burlesque ou commou sense-and said that ho had not heard the expression at tho time, or ho should hnvo repelled it. In reference to tho gentleman's ability to set himself up us a censor, he had only to say that that gentleman ought to be courteous to members. He know nothing of his qualifications for the high office he hud assumed, but he did know, by looking at the "Congressional Directory," that that gentleman was a minister of the gos? pel and a brigadier-general-a sur pliced hero and a fighting priest. (Laughter. J He said this to the gen? tleman's houor, because ho admired his buttons and reverenced his cloth. [Laughter.] The Judiciary Com? mittee, to which tho resolution was to be referred, had seen no danger lurking iu it. But it was not tho first, timo that the eyes of wisdom had been closed to threatening danger. He recollected, in sacred history, that when tho augei of the Lord stood in the way of Balaam with his Haming Bword, turning and threatening right and left, Bilinara had no eyes to sec; "Hut the poor ass saw it, and blurted out vehemently, j Laughter.] THE SUGAR PRODUCT.-A recent ' speech of Hon. Mr. Barnes, of New York, in the House of Representa? tives, gives some statistics of South? ern crops, from which it appears that the silgar crop of Louisiana, which in 1860, was 449,000 hogsheads, was in 18ti6 only 3U.0?0, and at the pre? sent time there aro iu that whole sec? tion but 317 sugar plantations. In the English Market Produce Redete, there is published a full roview of the sugar trado of tho world for tho last your, from which it appears that the United States and Great Britain aro much tho largest consumers of sugar, using 1,420,000 tons annually, or say about forty-one pouuds for euch in? habitant of those countries. Thc total annual consumption of France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Switzer? land, is no?.OOO tons. Thc total an? nual consumption of Germany is 2C3.O00 tons. Russia, Poland, Tur? key and Greeco consumo only 1?5, 000 ton?, or MO pounds per hoad. It is thought that, with the advance, of nations in civilization and wealth, there is every prospect of a continued i increase iu tho uso of this product, as tho sonn;es of supply nro HO nu? merous and tho crop so remunerative. lt is to be regretted that, at a period wiitin tho.cultivation ought to bo ex? tended in our country to meet the in? creasing demand, this, like all our other lending interests, is in such a dopressed conditiou. I Queen Victoria is enid to have ! cleured ?10,000 by the publication of j her book of mild twaddle about "dearest Albert." His death is quite lucrative to his bereaved relict. A London correspondent says they do say that Her Majesty is already worth about ?-1,000,000. "A wretched 1 idiot named Neill or O'Neill (I forget j which) left her ?500,000 in rfne lump I some years ago, not one penny of I which, you may be sure, has her most thrifty Majesty ever touched." Renewed persecutions of thu Jews aro reported in Moldavia. Their houses aro burned or torn down, their stores sucked, and their persons hor? ribly maltreated. In somo cases they have been obliged to escape secretly to save eveu their lives. It is said that the authorities did not even attempt to prevent these out? rages. All who attempted to defend tho Jews were treated in the same manner. I TUNNELING NIAGARA.-A propo j sition is made to tunnel Niagara I River, so that a railway may ho laid j under tho river. The point selected is the narrowest crossiug between Fort Erie and the American side. ' The bed there is of solid stratified rock, und the stream twenty-live fpet deep. It wns suggested in 1842 by William Wallace, engineer, and is now revived. BRIBERY IN NEW YORK.-The Con? stitutional Convention has agreed to au article for the new Constitution, providing that any officer accepting a bribe to influence his official ac? tion shall be deomed guilty of felony, and, on conviction, shall be punished hy live years' imprisonment and fined not exceeding 85,000, and that any person offering a bribe shall bv liable to similar punishment. FOUNDLINGS IN DEMAND.-There is a lady in Boston, it is said, who h af furnished homes for over 7,000 found lings. The demand for children foi adoption in that city appears to b( very great, which seems to aceorc with tho statistics that have beer given as to the decline of hirth.1 among native families in Massachu setts. The gossips at Berlin arosomewbn exercised about the rumor that tin famous "White Lud}*," the appari tion which is said to announce im portant events in the Hohenzolleri family, has again n udo her appear ance at the royal palace. The oh domestics nt tho pallico firmly bellew in all- tho stories told about tin "White Lady." A negro member of the Virgiuii Reconstruction Convention, namei Hodges, favors tho abolition of th Freedmen's Bureau. He "does no want negroes to stand nrouud tin Freedmen's Bureau, squealing lik hogs for a few grains of corn, but t go to work like meu and make thei living." Tho Washington correspondent ? tho Boston Post says: "Baron Stoecl was being joked this evening ou th probability of Congress refusing th necessary appropriation to pay fe Alioska. He jocularly replier 'Very well; you have it, und if yo won't pay for it, very good; you shu have it without pay.' " j It is related that near Dnntzif. Germany, a young man of twenty four, who has just married a wido of forty-two, has discovered, sine the marriage, that his wife was li wet nurse. A French paper con monts: "Thus it is! Ono always ri turns to his first love." PKNSION APPROPRIATION BELL. The pension appropriation bill befoi Congress appropriates fm in val i pensions, $10,(100,000; for heirs < soldiers, 820,000,000; for navy pei mons to invalids and heirs of sailor 8350,000. Total, 830,350,000. Maximilian is the 102d member tho House of Hapsburg, committi to rest in the vaults of the convo: of the church of tho Capuchins. CURIOUS.-The St..

TUE pnblio esteem in which PANK NIK'S HEPATIC BITTER8 aro held, is another proof of their excellence as a Tonic. They aro recommended by physi? cians generally, and havo never disap? pointed those who have madouscof them.

MIOT, Agent. iiKAii I SI MINI)-When disease has undermined tho health, and tho physical system IIBH become prostrated, a stimu? lant that will not only strengthen, but re? move tho caiipo, should bo immediately resorted to. Mental distress is also a fruitful source of the breaking down of tho constitntion, and the ravages of tliiB enemy to health are truly alarming. For all Puch maladies HOSTETTEP.'S STOMACH BIT?

Tho generality of Ritters aie so disagreeable to tho taste that tiley aro objectionable to a weak stomach. Thia ia not tho case with Hoatctter's Bitters, which will bo found mild and extremely pleasant. Balaamio plants, barks and i roeta contribute their reatorativo juices to I render it soothing and atrongthening. Ita basis is tho only puro stimulant which ! baa ever been produced containing no fusil j oil, or any other deletorioua element.
