Asothkr Social Problem. —The
San Francisco Monitor, aa follows, given
a grave picture of the merits of the
Chinese as a class, and of the cfTect of
their presence on tho prosperity of a
community:
We were informed a month or so ago,
that a person had arrived in this city,
from New Orleans, to tnnke arrange
ments for the transfer of three hundred
Chinamen to work on Southern planta
tions, and’us all distinctions of race and
color are abolished Ly the Civil Right*
Bill, so fur a* Congress cun do so, we
imagine the duy not far diatant when
copper-colored Pagan labor will be sub
stituted for the labor of the white
man in all the Atlantic States.
These coolies, for such they are, ate
a demoralizing blight to anv community
in which they are domiciled. Th#y are
active and ingenious, it is true, good
copyists, quick of comprehension, and
useful drudges: but they are filthy,
thievish, and infamously vile. They are
brought to this city as merchandise, to
be parceled out on the labor market,
with no other condition than the supply
of their animal wants and their return
home, living or dead, at the end of the
term contracted for. Very few of them
return alive, but continue to work on
their own account after the expiration
of their term of service, and after death
Iheir bodies are picked up and trans
ferred to the “Flowery Kingdom” annu
ally. -
There are several companies trading
under real or assumed names, engaged
in their import and export to and from
this city. The Chinese population of
California may be set down at 75,000;
but it may not become us now to present
any details of the demoralizinginfluence
of so large a heathen population on a
State which casts a.little over one hun
dred thousand votes, or about fifteen
thousand votes less than were cast in
1856. The reduction of fifteen thousand
votes in ton years, and in anew State
which offers unprecedented induce
ments, afford indubitable proof that the
Mongolian, like the African race, is re
pttlsive to the Caucasian, and we know
that the vast majority of whites on this
coast, of all conditions of life, are
desirous to return “home” as soou us
they can.
The Cost of War. —The New York
Mercantile Journal, in an editorial on
this subject shows, by statistics, the ef
fect of this scourge upon the countries
of Europe, and from which we condense
tho following:
According to the statistics of Mr. Ger
main Sarra,t the number of men taken
from their families in France bv war,
between the years of 1791 and 1814,
amount to the appalling number of
4,546,000.
The amount of money expended in
war by the English Government, during
the same period, is set down at the enor
mous sum of $4,075,000,000.
The amount of written debts of Eu
rope incurred almost entirely for war
purposes, amount to $10,885,100,000, of
which amount Great Britain alone ex
pended $3,338,000,000.
The losses thus stated are only the
surface estimates of the expenditures of
life and force, and i£ the inquiry was
pushed into all the ramifications of pri
vate loss and outlay, the totals would
amount to ten-fold the sums officially
stated. If we penetrate further beyond
the bloody tinsel veil called Glory, to
gaze upon the moral aud social resid e
of crime, shame, sorrow and degrada
tion that are literally the caput movtuum
of every war, such a spectacle would
meet our gaze as would chill with horror
and remorse any being but the relent
less arch-enemy of man.
Matrimony. —The report of the
Lynchburg matrimonial market, as
made bjr the clever Local of the News,
of that city, is so happily descriptive of
the state of the Augusta market that we
adopt the greater portion of it.
The market has become languid, and
is altogether without tone. The falling
off “in receipts” of opportunities (or the
girls to say “yes,” has served as a check
on approaches to the hymeuial altar.
Sweet sixteens have been most active,
going at “previous figures,” but there is
no buoyancy in price or demand. Misses
of “age” are weak, with a poor demand,
widows on the decline ; unmarried aunts
dull ; old maids very flat, and no sales
at any price. Bachelors in old-fashion
ed swallow tails, seedy and disconsolate.
Spruce bachelors of thirty “steady.”
Editors firm, particularly Locals (have
had fourteen offers ourselves during the
month—rejected ten—under advisement
four), who are in great demand at a
heavy premium. “Bloods,” best grades
keep a stiff upper lip; low grades
secondary. All in all, there is great
drooping in all circles, hut the ap
proaching cold weather will probably
have a tendency to revive “trade,” and
give more tone and buoyancy to the
market. ,
A Musical Phenomenon. —Of all the
curiosities of literature, quite as curious
as auy are the singular announcements
which one finds in any newspaper con
nected with the stage. The
a sample of the oddities of language
one is certain there to see: “Wanted,
a Lending Violin; must he double
handed ; for a first class portable
theatre. Salary sure. Open all the
year round.” Double-handed swords
were common in old times, as double
handed penknives are common with us
now; but where are wo to find a double
handed violin. Perhaps two spirit
hands might manage to take hold of one
fiddle,' while a third might scrape away
upon it with the bow. But out ot
spirit-land a violin is always.held by one
hand only, and it puzzles us to think
what the requirements ot two hands for
it can possibly here mean. If anybody
told us upon entering a theatre that we
probably should hear a double-handod
fiddle, we think we should make answer,
“O pooh, nonsense, fiddle-de-dee I”
Present to an Editor. —The city
editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer has
received the present of a “little stranger,”
snugly packed in a basket, with a note
attached requesting that “ tho child
be taught to he an editor.” The Plain
dealer man doesn't consider such things
as properly belonging to the perquisites
of his office, and, to place the child
beyond the corrupting influences of the
dead head gang, has turned him over to
the infhmary.

Killer.
We beg to call the attention of the pub
lic to this long tested and unrivalled
FAMILY MEDICINE.
The PAIN KILLER i* a purely vegeta
ble compound; and while it ii a meet e -
cient Remedy for Pain, it ia a perfectly eaf.
Medicine even in the most unskillful band*.
FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT,
Or aDy other form of bowel disease in chil
dren or adult*, it is an almost certain eure,
and baa, witbont doubt, been more success
ful in curing the various kind* of
CIIOLERA
than any other known remedy, or even the
most skiliful physician. In India, Africa
and China, where this dreadful disease is
ever more or less prevalent, the
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the nativos, as well a* Eu
ropean residents in those climates, a SURE
REMEDY. Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it
is unrivalled. A few doses will relieve se
vere cases of INDIGESTION, and it is
often a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA,
in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing tbe system
to vigor and action, render it a most effec
tual cure for COLDS AND COUGHS, when
used according to direction*.
For external applications, it i* unsur
passed by any medical preparation.
Rheumatism and Neuralgic Affections are
quickly relieved and often cured by it. Any
soreness in the Muscles or Joints can be
relieved by ita application. It eurea in
stantly tbe moat violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should alway* be kept near nt hand,
to be usod in cases of.severe BURNS or
SCALDS. If applied immediately, accord
ing to directions, it will give instant relief,
and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
SEAMEN, and persohs makiDg sea voy
ages, and no vessel should sail without a
supply of it. One Captain writes us: “I
havo made several voyages—often with emi
grants, and though I keep a good Medicine
Chest, imd I have several times had a good
deal of sickness on board, I have found tbe
PAIN KILLER so efficient in all cases, as
to entirely preclude- the use of all other
Medicines.”
Prices—2s Cents, 50 Cents, and $1 per
