A WITTY LITTLF. SPEECH FROM MR.
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."

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?
TERS have been found unsurpaaaed. By
acting directly upon tho digestivo organs,
they remove tho heavy, disagreeable feel?
ing after eating, SJ often complained of by
persona of a dolicato temperament. AH
Hoon as digestion is restored, tho patient
linds II?H strength increasing and II?H gt -
ueral health improved.
Thousands of perseus certify that it may
bo relied on iu all cases of weakness or
nervous debility attendant upon sedentary
habits. 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. Tho
[ moHt careful and akillful chemists have
analyzed the Bitters, and pronounce them
hai miens. This is scientific testimony:
I but the testimony of the hundreds of
I thousands who havo experienced the pro
! ventive and curative effects of the great
vegotablo tonic and alterativo of modern
times ia still moro conclusivo. In Fever
and Anne, Dyspepsia, Billiouancas, Ncr
V..na Complaints, Chronic Complaints and
general debility, it ia as ncariv infallible as
anything in thia fallible world can be.
