Prohibition Chinese Immigra¬
tion.
Evening A ^correspondent Post of the New York
(Radical) is considering
practically the absurdity of prohibiting
Chinese immigration.' That point, as we
said yesterday, is rapidly looming up as a
political question. This correspondent
says:
In faot nothing but arbitrary legislation,
absolutely prohibiting the immigration of
Chinese labor, can possibly provent it.—
Take only the State of Arkansas, cover
ing over fifty thousand square miles, one
half of which is cotton land of the best
quality, mostly river btttotfr. tfha Carina- 1
*an Is fitted in every rcspWrto settle the
region of which only about ono acre in a
hundred has ever yet been cultivated in
cotton. The crop easily made is a bale
to the acre, and eight to ten boles to the
hand, besides food. The ralue often bales
u is now over $1200 fii oaa in • currency. The la
bor is not hard, but persistent.
Here arc the. conditions of demand for
labor, and sixty days time, with about
If 100 in money, will bring*an unlimited
supply. I£ such contracts can be made as
were laid before mo by my informant, such
supply caunot fail to meet. The Pacific
Slail Company can move about twelve
thousand per month. Ono hundred thou
sand such laborers would add eight hun¬
dred thousand to one million halos ouran
oucl crop of cotton, and would place under
Cultivation, in Arkansas, we .will say, only
two or"three acres* more out of each hun
red, in-addition to the little patch now
under cultivation. * y. ,•. - »

A horse, when he acts singly, will do
half os much more work than when he acts
in conjunction with another: that is to
say, two horses will separately do as much
work as three conjunctively. This arises,
in the first place, from the single horse be¬
ing so near the load he draws; and in the
next plaoo, from the point or line of
draught being so much below his breast,
it being usual to make the wheelsof single
horse carts low. A horse harnessed sing¬
ly has nothing to contend with, where¬
as, when he draws in conjunction with an*
other, hois generally embraced by some dif¬
ference in rate, tho horse before or behind
him moving quicker or s’ower than him¬
self. IIo is also frequently inconvenienc¬
ed by tho greater or loss height of his
neighbor. These, considerations give a
•decided advantage to tho single*horso cart.

■Onae there was a little boy named Dun
•oan. • The boys used to call him 1'rve
£hmcdn, because ho neVfcr would tell a
lie. One day he was playing with an ax6
in the yard of the school, and while he
-was Tabby, chopping along. a stick, tb* .teacher’s let cat
caine Dtoncan the axe
fall right on poor Tabby’s d‘id head, and kiHed

was a pet of the master’s, and used to sit
on a cushion at his side, while ho waa

looked at tho dead creature. Ilia face
grew very red, and the tenrs stood in his

every one had something to say. One of
them whispered to tho others and said—
“ Now boys, we shall see whethor Dun¬

“ Not he! said little Toro Dooley, who
*\vns Dunftan'tfriend. “Not he 1

Just fling her into the alley, and we can
tell Mr. Cole that the butcher's dog killed

Several of them thought this would do
very well. Duncan looked quito angry.
His luce swelled, aud his cheeks grew
redder than before.
“No!” said he, “ no ! Do you think
1 would. attempt a thing like this ?
it would be a lie, a lie, a lib 1" And
every time ho said the word, his voice
grow louder and louder.. Then lie picked
'Up tho poor thing in his arms, and carried
it into the school-room, and the boys fol¬
lowed to see what would happen. The
Master looked up and said—
“ What is this! My faithful mouscr
dead! Who could have done me such an

All were silent for a little while. As
«oon as Duncan oould get his voice, he

he put on a pleasant smile and said :

The Diamond Ring.
There is an old story of a mother, whose
son was for gbing far off to distant lands to be
away watched a very him long time. She had al¬
lead ways him in the closely, of and tried to
ways virtue. But he
and was now going far from his mother’s eye
farewell, warning voice. As she bade him
she placed a ring upon his fin¬
ger. She warned him never to bo guilty
of an action which he would be unwilling
for^her to see, and begged him never to
lose her last gift; for there was power in
the ring, and it would remind him when¬
ever he did wrong.
It is said that the under part of the
stone had a very sharp point, and in some
strange way, whenever he was doing
w/ong, it could sink down in its golden
setting and stick his finger. He bade his
mother farewell, and touching his fine
horse with the spur galloped away, while
she watched his bright plume waving in
the morning sunlight.
Day after day he continued his jour¬
ney, and at last joiaed a company of sol¬
diers ; and as he was a well informed and
pleasant youth, he was soon appointed to
an official position, and a bright sword was
given him. He had not been long in the
camp before he was urged to join in plea¬
sures which he knew his aoble mother
could not approve. True enough the
“ a ga ,° ri n g pierced his-finger, so that with
sickening . .
a feeling ho left the camp and
wandered away from his companions. But
the merry laugh reached him and he be¬
gan to think perhaps his mother had not
seen the world, and did not know that he
could enjoy its pleasures without beintr
hurt. fa
He returned; but again the sharp
monitor told him he was doing wrong. He
could not endure this—he was resolved
that ho would taste, for a little while, the
pleasures of tho tamp, and yet he could
■not bear this piercing friend which gave
him no rest. His mother’s last gift—he
dared not take it off or fling it away; so
lie took a small piece of flint and slip ped
it between the diamond end of his finger.
Now that he had silenced his little teach-,
cr, tlieTc was nothing to keep him from
pleasure. He forgot the object of his
journey, awd passed week after week
joining in everything whioh cam# up
among the wild ijnd lawless soldiers.
One day, thoughts of home, of his
mother, came over him ; and as his eyes
fell upon the diamond, whoso unchangiug
brightness should have shamed his dark
doings, he thought of the little flint which
he had inserted. A dim sense that he
had been false to his promise made him
take tho flint away.
Soon the troops were ordered to move
their camp; but he still went with them,
charmed with his wandering, lawless life,
every day of which saw some deed which
ho would not have owned to his noble
mother. But the ring no more reminded
him of her; worn and blunted by the
flint.
Do you know that every child possesses
a gem, which is at first as bright and clear
as a diamond, and as easily moved as the
stone of this magic ring ?
It is called a conscience.- God has put
this power in every soul. If you will no
iice its promptings, but it will remain bright
and keen ; if you will not heed it, at
last it will become so dull and blunt that
you how cannot it ba guided by it. You know
sweet is when you have done right
for your mother’s loving eyes to look upon
you, she loves aud her own loving voice to tell you
you because you are good.
RenmrJ&able Story of an Alba*
tress.
7 is The taken subjoined from anecdote of number an Albatross
Montreal a recent of the’’
for its fidelity Transcript, ittjth. The writer vouches
that to restless# Persons who have
scon most «f birds and are
familiar with its strength «nd .its habits
will have less difficulty in believing iiv
this story than those wbo have not seen it.
It is an admirable story .and is very well
told:
The following most extraordinary cir¬
cumstance is furnished in a letter from an
officer of the 83d regiment now in India
to a friend in Montreal. Whilst the di¬
vision of the £3d regiment to which the
writer belonged was on its way to India,
being at the time a short distance east of
the Cape, one of the men was severely
flogged for some slight offence. Madden¬
ed at the punishment, the poor fellow was
all no sooner his released, than, in the sight cf
comrades and the ship’s crew, he
sprang overboard. There was a high sea
running at the time, and, as the man
swept on astern, all hope of saving him
seemed to vanish. Relief, however, came
from a quarter where uo one eVer dreamt
of incident looking for it before. During the delay
on lowering a boat, and whilst
the crowd on deck were watching the
form of the soldier struggling with the
boiling waves, and growing every moment
less distinct, a large albatross, such as are
found in those latitudss, coming like ma¬
gic, with an almost imperceptible motion,
approached and made a swoop at tho man,
who, in the agonies of the death-struggle,
seized it and held it firmly in his grasp,
and by this means kept afloat until assis¬
tance was rendered from the vessel. In¬
credible as this story seems, the name and
position of the writer of tho letter, who
was an eye witness of the scene, placed its
authenticity beyond a doubt. But for the
assistance thus afforded, theuritern ds,
no power on earth could have saved the
soldier, as, in consequence of the tremen¬
dous sea running, a long time elapsed be¬
fore the boat could be manned and gt t
down- all this time the man clinging to
the bird whose fiutterings and struggles to
escape bore him up. Who after this
should despair ? A raging sea—a drown¬
ing man—an albatro-s I what eye could
see who safety under such circumstances; or
will dare to call this chance ? Is it
not rather a lesson intended to stimulate
faith and hope, and teach us never to de¬
spair, since in the darkest moment, when
the waves dash and the winds roar and a
gulf seems closing over our beads—Mere
may be an albatross near.
