VjsT' The Hebrew people, remarkable all
over th world for their thriving peculiarity
in business of a mercantile nature for they
never touch agriculture are still more re
markable from the. fact that their entire
number in the world at present is about
the same as in the palmiest days of Judea.
This fact is worthy of note in the statis
tics of the Jewish population us among the
most singular circumstances of this most
singular of all people. Under all their
calamities and dispersions they seem to
have remained at nearly the same amount
as in the days of David and Solomon, never
much more in prosperity, never much less
after ages of suffering. Nothing like this
has occurred in the history of an' other
race; Europe in general having doubled its
population within the last hundred years,
and England nearly tripled her's within the
last half century; the proportion of America
being still more rapid, and the world crowd
ing in a constantly increasing ratio. Yet
the Jews seem to stand still in this vast
and general movement.
The population of Judea, in its most
palmy days, probably did not exceed, if it
reached, four millions. The numbers who
entered Palestine from the wilderness were
evidently not much more than three mil
lions, aud their census, according to the
German statistics, who were generally con
sidered to be exact, is now nearly the same
as that of the people under Moses about
three millions.
A Nut for the Abolitionists to Crack.
The Richmond Enquirer says that about
throe years ago, Miss Anne W. Taliaferro,
of King William County, Va., emancipated
40 negroes, giving each $150. Thev were
placed in a Quaker settlement in Ohio, by
E. W. Scott, executor of the estate. A fev
weeks since Mr Scott had occasion to visit
them on business, and found lliein in a
wretched condition, almost starving. One
of the children had been stolen, and several
had died for want of attention ami the
necessaries of life. They begged Mr Scott
to allow them to return with him to Yirgima
and io into slavery.
HINTS TO BACHELORS.
The venerable Grant Thorburn, now in !
his green, contented old age, sends us "A
Scrap from the Note Book of Lr.uric Todd," j
on the subject of matrimony, the blissful j
estate of which he has tried for three times,
and each time it seems to his entire satis
faction. He says:
"In taking a retrospect, while 1 sat in
my tent door in the cool of the day, 1
thought, was I to live my life over again, I
would manage my treaty of peace with the
lasses after the same mode and form which
I pursued sixty years ago; therefore, my
young friends, 1 will just describe the pro
cess, and say unto thee, 'go and do like
wise.' When I emerged from tho cottage
wherein I first drew breath, (in Scotland,)
I looked on the daughters of men. and saw
(hat they were fair, and resolved that as
soon as I could earn one shilling sterling
(22 cts) per clay, I would enter into part
nership for life with one of those beautiful
articles.
What God makes beautiful it is for man
to admire. Perceiving by statistical tables
that the God of Nature sent about the same
number of men and women into the world
annually. I thought it must he His law that j
every man should have his mate at once,
and leave consequences and provisions for
the future to Him who hangs Creation on
his arm, and feeds her at his board. It is
sixty years since I ratified that treaty of
peace, love and amity ; and never for one
moment did I repent it ; nor did I ever lack
a loaf in the pantry, or a dollar in my purse.
If God sent another mouth, he always sent
food to fill it. With regard to courtship
'tis the easiest thine: in the world, love is
the language of nature ; the veriest fool, if,
he can t pronunce, can speak it with his ;
eyes, and women are nice interpreters.
When first thinking of these important af
fairs, I resolved never to spend an hour in
private conversation with any young woman
till I was determined on taking to myself a
wife ; and in the next place, never to spend
vn hour with any except she was the one,
above all others, whom I wished to make a
wite. On this principle I practised and May 6, is published in ihe National Intel

REVOLT OF THE CHINESE COOLTES
Horrors of the Coolie Trade.
The Singapore Times gives the particu
lars of the revolt of the coolie? on board the
Peruvian ship Carmen, and the Friend of
China, nn account of another revolt on the
British ship Gulnare, attended with a ter
rible loss of life. These accounts show the
nature and character of the eoolio trade to
be as bad as any trade in African staves :
"On board the Carmon were two hundred
coolies, who endeavored to take the ship.
They threw a quantity of burning straw
into the hold, which fell among the contents
of their beds, (straw) paper and fragments
of wooden boxes, w hich it appears they had
previously broken up. The crew speedily
armed, and the coolies were forcibly driven
down below. The captain first desired the
powder in the ship to be thrown overboard,
and then tried to extinguish the fire by
closing the hatchways, but in vain ; the
flames soon seized on every part of the
ship, affording time ouly to get out two
boats. Tho captain, officers and crew,
numbering in all 14, with 7 passengers,
having been able to secure a few arms,
but without water or provisions, quitted the
burning ship in the boats". At this time
some of the coolies had forced the hatch
ways', and were observed passing up the
rigging, but the masts- shortly afterward
fell over into the sea. Just as tiio boat (in
which the captain! had reached the vessel,
the later went down, and the boat must
have been taken down with the sinking
ship, as nothing was seen of the captain or
the people in the boat, although the mate
remained close by for nearly four hours.
The greater part of the coolies must have
been suffocated by the smoke the whole
perished except an interpreter.
On board tho Gulnare, the coolies made
a similar assault upon its officers. The
captain, officers and crew immediately rush
ed out and rescued the third mato and
sentry, who were seriously wounded. The
coolies fought with fearful desperation, and
f in some instances were fairly cut to pieces
I before they were driven below ; iu fact they
! returned the lire for some ten minutes, with
i basins, firewood, Ac, and by an oversight
! of the olicers' had smuggled from the deck
all the chain hooks and axes, and concealed
them below. After th ooolioe bad been
driven below they again began throwing up
at the crew basins and firewood. One pis
tol was fired up the hatchway in the direc
tion of the poop. Finding they could not
regain the deck, the coolies broke up their
berths and set the ship on fire in the main,
mizen and poop and hatchways, but when
the leaders in the incendiarism wero shot
j down, they immediately extinguished the
fires. The third mate and sentry were the
only two of the crew who wero seriously
wounded. Twenty-seven coolies were kill
ed and wounded ten killed, three drowned
! and fourteen wounded. Some have since
jumped overboard.
WEATHER WISDOM.
A rainbow in the morning gives the
shepherd warning. That is, if the wind be
easterly ; because it shows th.., tho rain
cioud is approaching the observer.
A rainbow at night is the shepherd's de
light. This is also a good sign, provided
the wind be westerly, as it shows the rain
clouds are passing away.
Evening red, and next morning gray are
certain signs of a beautiful day.
When the glow worm lights her lump,
the air is always damp.
If the cock goes crowing to bed, he'll
certainly rise with a watery head
When you see gossamer flying, be sure
the air is drying.
When black snails cross your path, black
clouds much moisture hath.
When the peacock loudly bawls, soon
we'll have both rain and son alia
When ducks aie driving through the
burn, that night the weather takes a turn.
If the moon shines like a silver shield,
be not afraid to reap your field.
But if she rises haleod round, soon we'll
tread on dell-Sed ground
When rooks by sportincr higrh in air, it
shows that windy storms are near.
If at the sun rising or setting, the clouds
appear of a lurid red color, extending near
ly to the zenith, it's a sure signs of storms
and gales of wind.
A Nice Country to Live Is. A.i ex
tract of a letter from an officer of the
United States army, dated Fort Cass, Fla.,
SUITABLENESS OP YOUNG LADIES
FOR WIVES.
A column of tho New York News is de
voted to this tender and interesting subject,
and the editor arrives at the conclusion that
if American women are to be judged of by
those he meets in New York, with their superficial-
accomplishments, aimless strug
gles, useless vanities and unreal pursuits,
none of them would be fit for wives, were
it not for the redeeming fact that occasion
ally a good sensible mother educates her
daughters with a proper sense of their true
dignity and usefulness as women, cultivat
ing their hearts, filling them with gentle
ness, and their minds with truth, and by
example, impressing on their pure minds a
consciousness of the noble duties of wivca
and mothers.
How different the picture by this journal
from that of society in New York in former
days, when wealth was not considered re
quisite to an eligible match; when hearts
and character, and not purses, were con
sulted, when the wife was expected to be
an assistance to her husband, aud it was
her pride to be such, and the married pair
passed through life smoothly, loving their
children and each other.
What now constitutes an "eligible match"
in the estimation of a fashionable ludy of
the great metropolis ? According to the
News, it is an old man with money sufficient
to support a "palatial mansion" in Fifth
avenue, carriages, horses, live'lMed servants,
to pay all bills unquestioned, and a willing
ness on his part that tho lady shall have
perfect control of her time, and the manner
in which it is used, whether spent at tho
opera, shopping, or masquerade, regardless
of family cares, or duties to either sick
child or husband. If the '-old codger" only
has the good taste not to make himself ri
diculous by scrutinizing the character of
guests, and to be oblivious to any "little
peculiarities" in the conduct of my lady,
and not intrude himself upon her in society
unless by her order, the acme of fashiona
ble felicity is attained. To the unreasona
ble and unnatural state of fashionable socie
ty in New York, and the frightful extrava
gance of tho females, tho News attributes
tho great numbers of that most despicable
of all characters, "the fortune hunter," malo
and female. To illustrate this, it says, take
the young professional man. either tho doo
tor, lawyer or clcrgj'man. with nothing but
their profession to depend upon, their posi
tion as public men, the feeling and tastes
acquired through their professional studies
and associations, all prompt them to aim at
respectability and character, and to main
tain such position. Should they marry a
lady without money, of equal position in
society, it would cost them at least $5,000
a year to keep up, as married men, the same
degree of respectability they maintained as
bachelors on 0 1,000. It must in the very
nature of things be many years before
either of the professions can of themselves
produce $5,0'J0 a year ; the result is, they
must become "fortune hunters," or not
marry ; for if they marry otherwise, they
sink into obscurity, to raise up a family iu
"genteel poverty.'
Whilst the picture by the News even of
New York society is evidently overdrawn ;
whilst, thank Heaven, it does not apply to
the smaller towns and rural districts of any
portion of this vast country, tnero aro pe
culiar causes operating in New York which
account for, though they do not justify, the
social corruption which characterise tie
wealthy classes of that city. One of these
is the. fact that so many of its nabobs aro
illiterate, coarse, reckless men, like Hunt
ington, and others, who might be named,
who possess no earthly ability in the world
except a capacity for making money-
toads with a "precious jewel in tho head."
but none the less toads for all that. Tha
educated nnd refined circles are thrust aside
and thrown into the shade by a parvenuo
aristocracy, liko that described by tha
News, which worships no God but Mammon,
and knows no standard of virtue or merit
save money. We cannot believe, however,
that such people constitute a majority, een
in New York. The respectable middle
classes and the toiling multitu.les are mado
of nobler and more generous materials.
The "Profits op BrorjD." It is a
favorite phrase of tho abolitionists that tho
revenue? of the Southern States and people,
when in any way, however remotely, trace
able to slave lubor or to slaves, are the
'wages" or 'tpro,s blood." It might
be a ourious study to exhume the historical
antecedents of many of tho colossal for
tunes of Northern millionaires. We havo
reason to know that some of the most pious
of our abolition friends now enjoy the com
forts of palatial mansions, handsome in
comes, and supurb seaside estate, which
we their origin to tho same "profits of
blood," and in some instances, where the
slave trade with its attendant horror of
the '"middle passage" i the source, tho
figure might be heightened as our friends
referred to sometimes heighten it, nnd tho
mansions and estates might be said to be
cemented and watered with "blood" iUelf.
An instance of this kind is recalled by Ex
President Tyler, in his recent address at
tbo Jamestown celebration. He said ho
iud knowledge of the fuct, that the marble
..uiace of Stewart, in Now York city, was
uuilt upon th sale of three thousand slave
who bad been sout to New York to bo
emancipated. Baltimore American.
