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.

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 Bottle.
