China. Socialism has been thoroughly cau vassed and even practised whilst Europe was eating acorns. At Pekin is a Pha ■ lanstery called the “ Ilouse of Hens’ Feathers,” where the poor are lodged for one-fifth of a farthing per night. It is simply a vast hall thickly strewn w ith feathers. Men, women, and chil dren all lie down together in the beauty -of communism; an immense coverlet is then let down over the party, with holes which the sleepers put their .heads, so as not to be suffocated. At day light the phalansterian canopy is hoisted up, after a signal on the tain tain | to invite hole holders to draw back their ! heads or swing. These bipeds in feath i ersthen crawl around in the sea of dirty ' down till they find their wretched rags, 1 and then depart to make a fresh start in life. Poligamy, though not really legal ■ in China, is yet only forbidden in books. ‘ A man may have as many wives as lie | can support, but only one is recognised as the legitimate mistress of the house hold. The children born of the seconda ry wives acknow ledge only the legitimate one as their mother, wear mourning for her instead of their real mother, and ■obey, respect, and cherish only her. The lawful wife is protected by law, “ the little wives” must fight their own bat tles. As in all pagan countries, the woman is the slave or victim of the mar. The law, when it mentions her, does so but to remind her that she is to be, to do, and to suffer. All legislation is wholly in favor of the husband. Ail excavating apparatus, for taking Oft' hanks and hills, has |ieen invented by Charles Phillips, "of Detroit, Mich. It consists of a huge table, with leaves, which form a firm door, on to which the dirt is brought by scrapers, Ac.., from the sides and parts of the embarkment. When a sufficient quantity has been ac cumulated, the table tops or leaves are tilt ed inwardly and the dirt falls upon the carts below.—The leaves are then pushed lip, and fastened level again, and are ready for new loads. Lynch Law- in Mississirm.—On the Slid ult., at Bay of St. Louis, in Hancock county, Mississippi, a negro man, owned by Mr. Lumpkin, uunlcrud and horribly mutilated his overseer, Mr. Samuel L. AV atsuii, with an axe in the presence of all the negroes in ti e field, lie then 4ed to tile woods. In twenty four hours after the deed he was captured, carried to the spot where the murder was com mitted, and there hanged by tiie popu lace. The President has issued a proclama tion, stating that associations in Kansas, as well as in remote Slates, are organiz ing with the design of interfering with the domestic institutions of the Territory, and declares that the whole power of the General Government shall he exerted in tlio support of the Territorial laws, and suppression of revolutionary movements. The London corresjioiidentoftho Man chesterGuHrdiaii states that Mr. Macaulay had received a check for SIO,OOO for the copy l ight of the third and fourth volumes of the History of England. The New York Commercial Ad vertiser notes an unintentional joke in that very grave document, the United States Treasurer’s Report, viz: “ We find in the enumeration among the articles w hich we do not import, but manufacture for ourselves, 4 vices of all mneript ions' ” A man was once arrested by a farmer for stealing ducks. The farmer said he should know them anywhere, and went on to describe the peculiarity. “ Why,” said the counsel for the prisoner, “ they can’t be such a rare breed—l have some like them in my yard.” r That’s very likely, sir,” said the far mer ; “ they aro not the only ducks I have had stolen lately.” Rendering Tketii Insensible to Pain. —The Dublin Hospital Gazette states that diseased teeth have been ren dered insensible to pain by a cement composed of Canada Balsam and slacked lime, which is to he injected in the hol low of the tooth like a pill. It is stated that such pills afford immediate relief in all toothaches but chronic cases of inflam mation. This remedy for toothaches is simple, safe, and can easily be tried by any^erson.

Ramsey, for many years proprietor of the Far mer’s Hotel, Fredericksburg, Va., and late of the City Hotel, Kiehmond, Ya. Dr. John Minge, of the city of Richmond, though a regular physician, and of course opposed to what he called quack medicines, was obliged to say that its good effects in the case of Mr. Ramsey were wonderful indeed. He had been given up by several physicians; had tried most of the quack medicines, and was on the verge of despair, as well as the grave, when lie tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture. \\ r e refer the public to his full and lengthy cer tificate around the bottle, stating his cure. H3T Holloway’s Ointment and Fills arc a certain cure for Scurvy.—Edward Hope, of Charleston, S. Carolina, suffered more than most people from the scurvy, and the whole of his body was covered with this unsightly eruption, he tried a great number cf reputed remedies, but he was not benefitted by the same, indeed it became doubtful to his friends whether be would ever overcome this disfigurement. At length he tried Holloway’s Ointment and Bills, and these medicines quickly produced a benefi cial change. By continuing with these excellent medicines for eight weeks he was radically cured.
