MISCELLANY.
CHINA AND TUB Cltf&ESE. .
A very intcrcsiing work has just befn
Iublished in London; with' I his til fe.
i is frorfi the peu of Robert For tu tie,
who travelled sorne fourteen years in
the Celestial Erripire in the tapacity ol
botanical tbflectof to the lltfrlicttltural
Socieiy. He has fcincfe oefch efiiployed
Jy the EaSt India tibthpdny tot proeur
ing siippli -s' of tea-plants, seeds.&.c.,
for the government plantations in the
Himalayas. During his first visit in
China,- Mr; Fortune's investigations
were thiefly confined to the . five ports
where Europeans have been allowed lo
trade btif; on his s6bsequeut visit, he
undertook long journeys !6 ihe bfack
and gren fea' . countries; In 1863, be
found himself in the old city of Tse-kee,
and thus deStrrbe tfne'of n ttfafietsr
"Iear the centre' of the City, and in
dud oT the prhrctpat gtfeej; I found a
rUost excellent market. For fully half
a mile thts street was IneraUy trefwded
with articles of fottl. Fish,- pork,- fowls,
ducks, vegetables of 11 any kinds, and
the fruits of the season, lined its sides.
Mushrooms weie abundant, arid excel
lent, as I afterwards proved by having
some cooked.' Frogs seemed nrtich in
demand. They are brought to mar
ket in tubs and baskets, and the vendor
employs himself In skinning them as he
sits making sales. He is extremely ex
pert at this branch of his business. He
takes up the frog in his left hand, and
with a knife which he holds In his right
chops off the forepart of its head. ". The
skill is then drawn back over the body
and down to the feet wbicb are chop
ped off and thrown away. - The poor
frog, still alive, but headlpss, and with
out f rt, is then throw into another tub,
and ihe operation is repeated on the rest
in tluj. same, way., Every how and
then "the artist Tays down his knife, and
lakes up Iiia scales to weigh these an
imal for his customer and make his
sales. Everything in this civilized
country, whether, il be 'gold or, silver,
geese or frogs, is sold by weighty ' s
"HoVa tea-ieases-that is, just aa they
jjad.been plucked from the bushes, and:
unmanufactured were ; 'also 1 exposed
for sale In this, markets They were
sold at from three farthings to-five far
things a pound; jf and as u ; takes about
four pc:r is ol raw -leaves ;to make pne
(p3und of tea, it follows that the price"
was at the rate of threepence lo fivepence
a pound, buLto this musi bem added the
r expense. tf marupulation;, Jp Ihis man
ner the inhabitants of large towns ill
, Chins, who have no tea farms of their
,ownr can. buy. .the raw leaves in (the
market, and roauufactura the beverage
iof theRwelves; ajid in their own way.'
The practice of transporting ihe dead
is thus depictured : ' ! . ! "
"When a wealthy Chinese dies at a
distance from his home, his body is
brought back to his native place by his
relations, in order that he may sleep
with, his fathers. : Iir front bf. an ,old
temple near Tse-kee I observed a uuni
ber of coffins laying (uider the verean
dah, and on inqUiry found thai thty
had all been brought from some dis
tance, and bad been laid dtiwn there un
til! a lucky; spot could be foUnd -. but for
their fina resting-place. Softie had ap
parently lain here for a long period ol
time.' Under the same- Verandah, and
amongst these coffins, a colony of gipsy
beggars had taken up their quarters,
which to me .had a cuiiotis appearance.
Howeven these people seemed to have
no supernatural fears of any kind "d
I-were
dedd
conipamons, that the topi nf te
huge com us were used as supports for
their mosquito curtains. , 'What a trav
eller's story! Beggars with mosquito
curtains the living sleeping with the
dead 1' . Even so, gentle reader; we are
now in China." ' " ' ; '
;'. He gives us also a genmne Holbein
picture of Chinese interior life. It is in
two compartments, as follows : J -
' The farmers in China, as a class-, re
highly respectable ; , but as their farms
are all small, they are probably loss
wealthy than ours. Each farm-house
is a little colony; consisting of some three
generations namely ihe grandfather)
his children, and hi? children's children.
There they live in peace and hairdony
together ) all. who are able work on the
farm, and if more labor is required the
s ranger is hired to assist them. They
live well, dress plainly, and are iridic
trious, without being iu auy way op
pressed. I doubt if there is a happier
race anywhere than the Chinese farmer
and peasantry. Bring well known in
this part of the country, and having al
ways made it a point to treat ihe people
well, I was welcomed wherever I went
I began to feel quite at home in the farm
er's houses. Here the female members
of the family have much more., libt-rty
than those of a higher Tatlk;"They hav
small feet as usual, but they n re not so
confined to the house, or prevented from
looking on and speaking; to strangers, as
the higher classes are. If a stranger en
ters the court of the house unexpected
ly, he will see a number of ladies both
old and young, silling in the verandah,
all industriously, employed on some
work some spinning, some sewing or
embroidering" and biie probably engag
edi in culinary operations ; and if the
stranger be an unknown foreigner, the
whole will rise. hurriedly, and disappear
like a c'bvef- bf partridges, overturning
wheels, stools, and anything else thai
may be in their way. This tvas a fre
quent scene in my earlier visits,- but il
gradually wore off when it was" found 1
was a civilized tfeing like themselves
These safne fadies afterwards would
often ask me to sit down, and even set a
chair for me, and bring mea cup of tea
with their own fair hands and while I
drank mv tea, they would go on with
their wbik,, la Ughirg and chatting as
freely as if I had been a thousand miles
away. But many of these Chinese la
dies, with all their coyness, are regular
termagants, as the following c arrows an
ecdote witl sbo'w.
"Happening one da at this time to
be in a bamboo forest,' I came ujxmi two
men engaged in cutting down some fine
bamboo trees. Just as I came up with
them,' a farmer's wife made her appear
ance, ftoiti ail opposite qartof; and was
apparently in a state of great excitemeut.
The men, it appeared; had bo.ght a
certain number of the trees, which at tbe
time of sale had been' dtrfy ' marked.
But in cutting, instead' . qt i taking those
they had bargained for; they ha;d jflst
cut down a very fine one which was
not for sale. The bid l&dy was so exci
ted that she either did not see toe, or
her anger made her disregard the' pres
ence of a stranger. She commenced
first zn 16 w. short sentences to lament
the loss 6f the bamboo, then, louder and
louder, sentence after sentence rolled
from her tongue, In which she abused
without mercy the unfortuuate men for
i heir conduct. At last she seemed to
have worked herself up to a frantic
state of excitement ; she threw , off her
head-dress, tore her hair and screamed
so loud that she might have been heard
for more than a mile. Her passion
reached the climax at last, and human
nature could stand it no longer. . V ith
an unearthly yell and a sort of hysteric
gulp, she tumbled backward on the
ground, tbrew, her little feet iu the air,
gave two or three kieks, and all was
rtill. Up td this point l had been rather
amused than otherwise, but as she lay
perfectly still, and foamed ai ihemoutV,
I became alarmed The poor men bad
been standing, all this time, 1 hanging
their heads, and looking as sheepish s
possible. I now loookea routid to see

tome who have read tbe article.
The English. have for a Century held an
extensive and increasing tlbmtunion id la
ilia; a v ry threatening revolt, endanger
ing this supremacy as some Suppose, has
lately broken out a revolt attended with
atrocities inflicted on non-combatants such
as only Orientals are capable of imagining.
What is the first thing id be done Evi
dently to suppress the revolt with the Strong
band ; for uan hardly e expected; bow
ever much some might be rejoiced thereat,
tttitt tbe English will consent to be driven
like whipped bounds from tbe foothold they
have so long kept. t Let us first put down
the revolt, says Mr. Bright, and then let us
see what abuses .there are. in the govern
ment of India thai may have Cdhtributed to
such a stute of things, and apply the prop
er remedy. And this is the sentiment ech
oed by the Parliament and people of Grent.

A FAST BOT MARRTINQ HIS VICTIM
AT
THE PISTOL'S MOUTII.
The Cincinnati Enquitr, of August 26,
A most singular case of seduction and
marriage occurred at' Newport on Thurs
day night. . It seems" that, a young' man
highly connected in Kentucky, and doing
business irt. this city, seduetti a young la
dyoT about 16 summers, some time' ago.
The" father' of the young" lady was ! not
aware of it until wiihio the last week, and
on betng made aequi tied with tbe pain
f al fact, be tried all the stratagems he could
to get the young roan an invitation to bis
house. , Ae finally succeeded on Thursday
night. While the young; man was sealed
in the front parlor, tha yomg lady' father
ies matched n Jiueasenger for clergyman,
at the ame ti seiiniBg hkn woait that he

things were .square, the old gentleman
walked uua Ims parlor, when the young
lovers were conversing together, and pres
ented a pistol to the young man's heart.
-f Seeing tbe deadly weapon aimed at his.
breast, - he felt, t-n bis knees and i clasped
his bands, saying, "For God's sake don't
shoot me. I will do anything and every
thing you may require of me if you . will
snljr spare rny life.' 4
Those who were look ihg oh at the time,
aid he looked more pious and sanctified,
than any Methodist preacher they had ev
er seen, i ' . l:-
"Weill" shouted the enraged father
marry my daughter forthwith, er I will
shoot you en the spot. i-
"Oh, for God's shke," cried tbe young,
man, "sehd torn person fer a clergy mun
immediately, or I will be dead. trJan."
No sooner was the word spoken than
oat came tbe clergyman, and in less time
than . we take, in. Writing .this article, tbe
two' were transubstantiated into one. .
A ludicrous ;iteE& of "testimony was
squeezed out of a tillage ga'lant at Mer
ama, in tne course ot tne coroners in
vestigation? The Tribune there says
that the facts-, without addition or abate

A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When tbe misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he has jmbibtd the scedaof.hia
painful disease, it too often happens thai anill-iiin-ed
sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deter
him from spplying to those who. Irom education
and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay
ing.!!!! the constitutional symptoms of this horrid
disease make their appearance such aa ulcerated
sore throat. diseased nose, npc.tufal pains in the
head and limbs, dimness of eight, deafhess, nodes
on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the bead,
face and extremities, progressing with frightlul ra
pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the
bones of the nose fall in. ahd the victim of this
awfu I disease becomes a horrid object of commi
seration, till death puts a period Iu his dreadful suf
feringa, by sending him to "that iourne from
whence no traveller rriurha."' To such therefore
Or. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the inost
inviolable secrfyj and, from his extensive prac
tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and. America,
hecan coftfldi-fitly recommends info and speedy
care teihe unfortunate Victim of this horrid dis
ease. It is a melanchoy fact, that thousands fail
victims lo thisireadful complaint, owing to ihe un
skilfulneas ol ignorant pretenders, who, by the ute
of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the consiitu
tion, and either send the unfortunate sufferer to u n
untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis
erable. -
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.

These are aome of the sad and melanclily ef

ATeniaiy.-rThereartu'lctfeCta on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory. Confusion
of Ideas, Depression" of Spirits, Evil Forebodings.
Aversion of SocJety; Self Distrust, Love of Soli
tude. Timidity, die. -are some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons of allagea, can now judge
what ia the cause of their declinfng health. Los-
in their vigor, becoming weak, pale and emacia
ted, have a singular appearance about the eyea,
cough and symptoms of consumption.
DR. JOHNSTON'S INVIGORATING REJIE
DV FOR ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
By this great and important remedy weakness ui
the organs are speedily cured and full vigor restored. .
Thousands of ihe most Nervoua and Debilitated
individuals who had lost sll hope, have bet n imme
diately relieved. AHfmpediments to MARRIAGE

frequently learned from evil companions, or at
school, the effects nf which are nightly felt, even
when asleep, and Jf not curad, renders 'marriage
imao?sible.scd destroy botl mind and body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a yoting man, ihe bops of his
countyana the darling of his parents, shoeld be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life,
by the consequences of deviating from the path cf
natore, and indnlgins; in a certain secret habit.
Such-peraona, before contemplating
; MARRIAGE.
Should reflect that a eoqnd mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without these, the journey
through rife become a weary pilgrimage; the pros
pect hourly darkens to tbe view; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
eomes hlihted with ou rown.
