Clay, our Minister to Russia, - to Secretary Seward, will be interesting to our read? ers, and instructive to the white popula? tion of the Southern States: LEOATXON QF THE UNITED STATES, ST. PETEBSBCRO, RUSSIA, Feb. V, 1K69. SIR: Captain T. Morris Chester, lute of the United States Volunteer Army, being iu St. Petersburg, coming well i recommended by distinguished citizens of the United States, and being also well educated, and of good address, I called upon the Minister of Foreign Allai rs, and told him that I would not apply in the usual way by note to have Captain Ches? ter, n colored American citizen, presented to his Imperial Majesty, ns there was no precedent, and I did not know how bis I Imperial Majesty would bo disposed to act, but I desired that ho would approach bis Imperial Majesty iu un informal way, and ascertain his wishes in this regard. Tho Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, I Mr. Do West mann, acquiesced in the proposal, and ina few days wrote mo that thc Emperor had given orders to have Captain Chester's nam'o put upon the list for the first presentation. To-day, being the occasion of a grand review of the Imperial Guard, tho Ein put ur sent aa invitation to Captain Chester to assist in the review, which hu did, riding around with bis Imperial Majesty's staff, and taking lunch at tho winter palace with tho staff' officers, and a portion of the Imperial family, who accompanied tho Emperor nt tho lunch. I have made theso facts known to you, as I regard the affair of some importance. We bavo'fonr millions of colored citizens; they nre with us, and of us, for good ns evil. I think it is tho duly of all good citizens to try and elevate tho African race in America, and inspiro them with all possible self-respect, and prepare them for that ultimate influence which they must sooner or later have upon tho po? litical und economical interests of the United States. Theso are the views which bavo influenced my action in this case, which, not partisan in their char? acter, I should hope would be satisfacto? ry to all patriotic Americans. Having, however, discharged my duty, ns I ever do, without regard to personal considerations, I submit my action frankly to tho judgment of thc Depart? ment. lam, my dear sir, Your obedient servant, C. M. CLAY. Hon. WM. H. SEWARD. Twenty or thirty years ago, when mis? sionary enterpriso was in its infancy among tho islands of the South Seas, Captain Summers anchored his sloop of war off one of tho Marquesas. The next morning bo saw nu American flag float? ing from the beach, union down. This excited bim fearfully, and be sent off a boat at oncoto inquire into tho matter. Presently the boat returned, and brought a gravo looking missionary. Tho cap? tain's anxiety ran high. "What's tho trouble out there?" bo asked; "quick!" "Well, I um grieved to say, sir," re? plied the missionary, "that tho natives have been interrupting our sacerdotal ex? ercises." "What? what was that you ?aid they'd been doing?" "It pains me, sir, to say that they have been interrupting our sacerdotal exer? cises." "Mon them starboard guns! Stand by, now, to give 'em the whole battery!" ex? claimed the captain." Tho astonished missionary hastened to protest against such rigorous measures, and finally succeeded in making the old tar understand that the natives bad only been breaking up a prayer meeting. "Oh! is that all?" said be; "I thought you meant that they'd etopped your grog!" RADICAL RASCALITY.-Referring t.? the late judicial election in Memphis, the Sun soys: "All sorts of rascalities wero practicod to defeat au honest, fair election, but tho crowded condition of our columns prevents a detailed exposure in this issue. It is enongh to know that Commissioner Williams appointed all tho election offi? cers in the interest of Smith; that ho is? sued thousands of blank certificates of registration in violation of his oath of office; that hundreds and thousands of theso fradulent certificates were freely hawked about tho streets for a price; that men living in Mississippi and Ar? kansas, and also in Brownsville, and Fay otto County, were brought into tho city, and voted in these certificates thus fraud? ulently issued; and, finally, that Com? missioner Williams, who refused to reg? ister white men that were entitled to cer? tificates, granted thom wholesalo to tho Smith faction, and now professes to have done all that he did, not in tho interest of the people, whose servant ho is, but "for the best interest of the Republican party." A man guilty of thus polluting the ballot-box ought to be visited with the severest penalties of the law, and it is to bo hoped that he will yet bo nando to suffer it as others, no moro guilty, aro now doing in tho State prison." Tho Chicago Evening Post bas found the Sprague-Craig breach of promise suit inspiring, and here is one of the conse queucos: "Amanda Craig, And 'Lisha Sprague, They fell in love ut sight; Ho liked her style, She liked his pile, And everything went right; 'Twas bill and coo, And 'I love you;' 'My duck,' 'my dear delight.' Alack I alas! It carno to pass That hopo should suffer blight, And love, which trusted Too much, be busted In a breaoh-of-promise fight !" Pnrlalam ForinncTtUtn. A clerk ia ono of the French offices of police Was, some years ago, appointed to superintend the legal proceedings insti? tuted against a fortune-teller. The in? quiry furnished him with some curious information concerning the general prin? ciples on which the art ii founded; he discovered that upon the whole it was merely a calculation of probabilities, which, if mun II ged adret ly, might be? come subceptible of successful applica? tion; and ho thought it would be an ex? cellent thing to turu conjuror himself. He begau by dividing the workable mat? ter-namely, public credulity-iuto its two sexes, its four ages, into married and unmarried, masters and servants, clergy and laity, nobles aud commoners, &c. He then set down tho general acci? dents commou to nil classes, the special accidents moro commou in each, and, finally, the moro rure and individual ac? cidents. Ho thus acquired a mass of about <1,000 of tho accidents of human life which aro constantly occurring-it must bo confessed, a tolerably good foundation to tell fortunes on. While he was thus studying thu theory of the art, he devoted himself to the practico of a branch ilo less important; ho observed physiognomy, fixed names iu his recollection, introduced himself into parties of every description, endea? vored to divo into the secrets of families, and assumed every possible disguise; finally, when he found himself sufficient? ly rich iu materials und powerful iu means, ho opened a necromancy office. His success was prodigious; his door wai besieged by females, noblemen, trades men, ecclesiastics, and even high pre late?, eagerly thronged io consult him and with the exception of somo few mis chances, our conjuror had no causo tc regret the resignation of his post in th? police. Fortune-telling appears to bnvo beet long a lucrative profession in Paris. ? correspondent gives the following anec dote and description of a person win was most successful iu carrying on tin trade in the French metropolis: "A little more than sixty years since, : fortune-teller in Paris was roused fron his bed at tho dead of night by a lom knocking at his door. On opening it ho perceived standing before bim a mai muffled up in au, ample cloak, with ? largo hat slouched over his fuce. 'What do j-ou want?' said the fortune teller, somewhat alarmed. The stranger answered sternly, 'If yoi are what you profess to be, you can tel me that.' 'I can tell nothiug without my cards, replied thc other. Tho stranger walked iu, and tho foi tune-teller, having shuffled bis cards um laid them out, after a pause, observed with a tono of deference: 'I perceive I am in the presence of a illustrious person.' 'Yon ure right,' said tho strauger; 'an now tell me what it is I wish to know?' Tho fortune-teller, ugniu consulting hi cards, auswered: 'You wish to know whether a certai lady will have a son or n daughter.' 'Hight again,' suid tho stranger. After another pause, tho fortune-tellt pronounced that tho lady would huve son. On which the stranger replied, 'If tin prove true, you shall receive fifty piec< of gold; if false, a good cudgelliug.' "A few weeks after, about the san] hour and in the same manner, til stranger re-appeared, and before heconl speak, tho fortune-teller exclaimed: 'You fiud I was right.' 'I do,' said the strauger; 'and I ai como to keep my promise. ' So saying, he produced a purse of fifi louis, and departed." Tho stranger's mode of proceedir seems to have been designed to put tl fortune-teller's skill to the severest tea The circumstances of his coming alon and at such au hour, makes it probab he had not communicated his inteutic to any one; while his carefulness in coi coaling his person and ince, and his c treme caution to afford no clue to tho di covery of himself or his object by co versation, were admirably calculated render imposition impossible. The hi tory of tho case is this. I heard it abo thirty years since from a gentleman Paris, who learned it from Volney, tl celebrated traveler in the East. Volm had it from tho fortune-teller bimse who applied to him for some Syriac c pressions. On being asked for wh purpose he wanted them, ho confess> his trade; and Volney, finding him a 1 markably shrewd person, inquired of hi the story of his life. "He said that when ho was young had a groat turn for expense, ve slender means, and an inveterate repu nance to anything like drudgery. Aft long puzzling himself to discover soi modo of life by which he could un certain profit with continual amusemei ho determined to set up as a fortui teller. He commenced by taking a lodgi in the obscure quarter of the Murais, a practicing in a small way in that neif borhood, where the blunders of a bogi ncr would not be of much consequen At the same time he never failed to in daily attendance about tho court, a spured no pains to make himself famil with tho personal appearance and privi history of every person of thc least ni there. After two years of practice among I small, and of study among the great, thought himself qualified to begin bi ness on a grand scale, and having, bribery of a servant, procured a pro] customer, he tried his art in his ii sphere with great success. His fur and of courso his gains, increased rap ly, and it was when he was in his zen that tho adventure above related h pened. Ho explained it thns: WI shnilling his cards, ho purposely let < or three fall, and in rising from pick them up, he contrived ' catch a st cient glimpse of the si. .igor's com nance to discover that he was no lei person than the Duke of Orleans, afl wards Phillippe Egalit?, and the fat ot tho late King of the French, who waa actually the child in question. He took not the least notice of the discovery he had made, but pretended to ascertain the fact from the contemplation of his cards. Having overcome this difficulty, his prac? ticed acuteness mode the rest easy to him. It was publicly known that the Duchess was near ber confinement, and ho had heard tho Duke was anxious to have a son; ho, therefore, confidently guessed tho objeot of his visit, and after the manner of bis tribe, hazarded tho prediction which ho thought would en? sure him the most liberal pay. He did not expect tho proposed alternative, which obliged bim to be on his guard, and ho had actually only just returned from learning the news at the palace, and was scarcely in bed, when the Duke ar? rived, whoso faith must have beeu con? firmed by tho fortune-teller's anticipa? tion of bis intelligence." [Baltimore Home Journal. Wu EUE TOYS ABE MADE.-Ab tho cheapest class of toys aro of foreign make. Penny toys como from Germany; they have their birth iu tho bluck pino forests of Tburingia. Tho Dryads and Hama-dryads are not dead, but sleeping. Whut rou rs of laughter spring from thoso old gloomy pine woods! The great toy capital is Sonueburg, wbero men, women and children aro employed upon their production. The costs of toys at the place of manufacture is infinitesimal? ly small. The wood-tho oidy material of which they aro made-is nothing, twopence-halfpenny a tree. The labor is scarcely moro valuable. Toys, in these old forests, aro mado on the most modern principio of division of labor. Any toy wo may take up bas gone through bnlf a dozen bands. Hy this menus great rapidity is attained in their manufacture, and tho primo cost ut home is less than a third of a penny. Thc transit along mountain roads, and by water carriage to Rotterdam, whence they nre conveyed by steam to Euglnnd, costs more than their actual manufac? ture, but yet there is a profit left to the veudor. These aro thc trno smashing toys; but the moro expensive, highly finished and elaborate ones still come from Gormauy or the adjacent countries. Groat numbers como from Grunhein .sc.ehr, in Saxony, but the town of Nu remburg maintains its old monopoly for metal work, even in the matter of to3*s. All the tenden soldiers in boxes are Bold here, whilst tho tin railroads and loco? motives and steam vessels of every pri? mitive character and form come from Biberach, iu Wurtembnrg.

A CHINESE FUMERAI?.-When carrying the body to tho grave, a solemn-looking individual scatters little slips of paper with aphorisms from Confucius written on them; at the liutels of the door-ways are strips of red paper, on which are marked similar wise sayings. Upon the grave is placed a roast fowl, some rice, and a bottle of "Chinese wine," after which the mourners depart, never look? ing behind them. There is, howover, another class of gentlemen who aro con? cealed near at hand. No sooner do they seo the last pigtail of the retiring mourn? ers disappear from view than they make a grand rush for the edibles mid drinka? bles left for tho benefit of Joss, and they very soon make short work of them, Joss, no doubt, getting the credit. After lying somo months in the grave, the bones are dug up and carefully polished with brushes, then tied up, and each put in little bundles, which are nicely lubelled and stored away in a small tin coffin in the particular bong or commer? cial house which is responsible for them. When a sufficient number of these in? teresting mementoes have accumulated, a ship is chartered, and the collins de? spatched with their contents back to Canton, for, according to Mongol theo? logians, it will go hard with bim in the future world unless they do repose on native soil. STREET SCENE.-The other day, pass? ing ulong Military street, in front of thc court-house, we saw a one-armed ex-Con? federate soldier standing by bis wagon and ter m of oxen. All at once the maim? ed rebel, with the fire of battle not en? tirely gone from bis eye, straightened himself up, assumed the military stiffness of old Gen. Buggies when culling bis courier for a pipe of tobacco, whirled bis long whip gradually in the air, aud shouted in the honrse voice of com? mand : "Attention, battalion!" Promptly with the word, tho six steers rose from their recumbent attitude, shook their dusky flanks, and took the position of the soldier. Again the clarion voice "Forward-march!" And the trained , animals moved off, not with a great deal of timo in keeping step, 'tis trim but un? derstanding the command perfectly. Then, not satisfied with a paco "at will" of his troops, the incorrigible "reb" thundered out "No enemy in front!" And the veterans quickened up like tho Old Guard nt Waterloo preparing for the headlong charge.-Home Journal. -&~ The waiters' strike bas ended disas? trously for the men. Tho hotel proprie? tors have refused to re-employ them. Only about twenty of tho ?551? have been taken back. Tho Waiters' Union bas allowed every man to go to work wher? ever bo can. Those who were taken back were compelled to renounco alle? giance to the society. It is expected that the others will receive plenty of em? ployment at the watering places. "What is the meaning of lost in French?" said a cab-driver to a foreign gentleman. ''Perdu." "Well, then, your trunk is perdu," said the cab-driver. Two YANKEES.-The following story is told of a Yankee captain and his mate. Whenever there was a plum pudding made, by the captain's orders all the plums were put into ono end of it, and that placed next the captain, who, after helping himself, passed it to the mate, who never found any plums in any part of it. After this gume had bcon played for 8omo time, tho mat? prevailed on the steward to place tho plum end next to the mnto. The captain no sooner per? ceived the alteration, than picking up the dish and turning it around, as if to examino thochiuu, ho said:.,,.. "This cost me two shillings iu Liver? pool." Ho then put it down, as if without do sign, with tho plum end next to himself. "Is it possible?" said tho mate, taking up tho dish. "I shouldn't suppose it was worth moro than a shilling." And, us if in perfect inuocouce, ho put it down the contrary way. Tho captain looked at tho mate, tho mato looked ut the captain, and both laughed. "I'll tell you what, young 'un," said j tho captain, "you've found mo out; so wo'll just cut tho pudd i'jg lengthwise this time, and havo tho plums fairly distri? buted hereafter." The City of Worms is one of thc most interesting places in Germany connected with tho history of Lutheranism. The great Protestant Congress which assem? bled there on Monday appears to have been thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Luther, nod took tho samo stand against tho Popo (Pius IX) which tho great heretic himself took ngaiust tho Pope (Leo X) wheu. 348 years ago, he appeared before tho Diet of Worms, and in tho brilliant presnuco of the Emperor, tho princes and nobles, the church dig? nitaries, and a great concourso of specta? tors. As tho apostle of the Reformation, Luther at that timo boldly challenged the authority of tho Pope. So now, after tho lapse of centuries, his followers met to renew tho challeugo, and uphold the spiritual independence which Luther then asserted at tho peril of bis life. The magnificent, monument of Luther which stands in tho City of Worms is a less worthy commemoration of his character than the Congress which has just been held to re-assert his principles. 4 PASHUNCE OF Jon.-Everybody iz in tho habit ov braggiug on Job; and Job did have considerable pashunce, but did he ever keep a districk skulo for 8 dol? lars a month and board around or run a kountree noospaper?

At a late military dinner, one of the visitors proposed a toast-"May tho man who has lost ono eye in the service of his country never see distress with tho other!" but the person whose duty it was to read thc toast, by omitting the word distress, completely changed the senti? ment, and caused much merriment by the blunder. It is related of a certain clergyman, noted for his long sermous, with many divisions, that one day, when ho was advancing nmong the teens, he reached at length a resting-place in his discourse, when, pausing to take breath, and asking the question, "And what shall I say more?" a voice from the congregation re? sponded, "Say amen!" "Do you think, Doctor," asked on anxious mother, "that it would improve little Johnny's health to take him to the springs and let him try tho water?" "I haven't a doubt of it, madam."
