There were five children—three girls and two boys. We had passed them three times in our chair during the day as they stood beside the road dressed in their holiday attire of black. The silence they observed whenever any .person passed, and their downcast looks, created curiosity on our part to know their business there. Arr Hung (our waiter) was called up and asked the cause of this little parade. “Why,” said he, “the girls, and perhaps the whole family, are for sale.” We stopped our chair and stepped out to have a talk with them, using Arr Hung as an interpreter. The mother was wrinkled and gray, and hung her head,' as if she were afraid to look us in the face. 15ut the children, with the exception of the oldest girl, looked cheerful, and were quite pleased with their holiday attire. The oldest girl was sixteen and the oldest boy.filteen.' So said the gruff old broker who had the party in charge, and who seemed quite anxious to dis pose of his wares. After a great deal of quizzing and evasive answers, the broker told us that the husband and father was in Cali fornia, and had neglected; to. pay his note given for his passage, and that bis family wore now offered for sale to pay the debt He hoped to be able to pay the debt with TTTK SALE OF THE.IWO OLDEST. GIRLS, • ' . But as yet had received no orders. ‘ He said that the family became security voluntarily, and lje never knew of a case where they did not voluntarily offer themselves for sale if the note they secured was not paid. In reply to our questions he said that when a customer bought a ohildor person, the person was inado at once the owner of the child, body and soul. No Chinaman would dispute the purchaser's right to do whatsoever he pleased with the human being he had paid for. The boys would make good servants, he said, and in the course of a few. years be worth a fortune to the owner. The girls would make “arm- ers,” (or nurses, as they are called in Ameri ca.) He would show us their physical beauty; would make them sing and play tricks if we thought of buying.' How much would we give? The oldest girl' he would sell for four hundred dollars; tho next one for two hun dred, and the little six-ycar-old for fifty.. The boys ho oojild notaell untirthe girls were dis posed of. We thought the price too high. Tlie Victories of reace. Tho New York Times say3: Erie aiid tho Now York Central, as represented • by Vanderbilt and Gould, mada peace and shook hands over a gloss of Congress water at Saratoga last week. According to thp Boston Boat, • the war between the New Yorjc yribnbp^gnd Fisk,' of the Ij!rie, terminated last week by the unconditional sur render of the Trtbane. This was the how of it. One fine morning tho Tribune found half of its edition returned to its bands. YVhat was the matter? Tho omnipotent Fisk had ordered that no more Tribnoes should be transported on the Erie trains. In this distressing statu of things the Tribune “ went to see a man,” and that man was Jimfi.sk, The Post says : It is understood that the explanations of Mr. Greeley were fall, complete, satisfactory, and humble, and that ‘a peace was agreed upon whereby tho Erie embargo would bo raised. Not only was the apology ample for past injus tice, bat it w ft3 agreed, on the part of Mr. Gree- GLUTTED WITH SALABLE GIRLS, And he mast not think; r of getting over one hundred for the oldest and handsomest, while for the little one he must not expect over ten dollars. He sneered at that end said that En glishmen always talked in that way when they wanted to buy. While we were talking, a party of blue-robed Chinese aristocrats came up and began to inspect the family. They opened the mouth of the oldest ; girl,' rapped on her. white teeth to see if they were sound, pulled open her dross and thumped her ribs, laughed at her little feet, told, her to show the whites of her eyes, ordered her to sing, and to show them the trinkets which the fond mother, had given her as .a parting gift. All tho while the salesman kept up a constant jabber, in which we took no interest. Time pressing, we passed on, leaving the parties disputing about tho price, and discussing the probabilities of their running away if taken to Hong-Kong. After making our call, -We returned the same way, to ascertain the result of the sale. Only the mother and the boys were left. The debt was only $300, and $50 of it still remained unpaid. I have been of ten told by residents in China that the parents would as soon,sell their children as a cow or a pig.' Audi had begun to believe that such was the case upon passing the group the first time. But the scene had changed. The girls were gone, and riow a hoy. must go also. f The mother sat in tfie dirt, witfl her.arms around the youngest, wailing in a most ipitepna man- net, andas Arr Hung said, , i-aodJjr—^ ■ • LisbiH-.iy CCBSING 4BB.

The broker sot listlessly by, smoking his pipe, and twirl ing bis Cane, looking as it: it was the smallest matter of business with him. The boys were crying, and seemed very much afraid of us, now it was ocmin that one of them must go. But we passed on and left thein ia their mb cry. We never knew whether the boy was .sold to’a childless man-to be 1 treated as, ft son, to 1 d Portugese to be carried,tp the IVesf In'dicitinder a nominal contract,’pr.to a native Tandbwbcrdo folds El&Vc. i>ut that ofi§°of tfom wpsfCld into servitude lor the sum of §p0. thcap(can be no doubt-.

A Rome correspondent of tlie New York Tri- buhe Writes 10th July, a long and highly inter esting letter upon the circumstances attending the adoption and proclamation of .tko dogma of Pap.il Infallibility. lie says : On Friday (15tb> a deputation from the Inter national Committee had nn audience of the Pope, and entreated His Holiness on their knees, I hear, not'to make himself Infallible. The Pope received them kindly, and begged them to leave their request in writing, which they did. Tho prayer of their petition was that His Holiness would cause to be omitted tho as- sertion that the dogma was the tradliion of the Church, and the ugly anathema at the end of tho Church. It was a hard request to be pie- ierred to a Christian Bishop, and ha tha Pope of Romo, so tho curses remain for the eternal sal ration of sords. The deputation consisted of the Cardinal Archbishop Sohwnrlzenbnrg, the Archbishops of Paris, Lyons, Milan, and Hali fax, Monsignor Conolly, who has nobly distin guished himself by bis manly and independent conduct. The Cardinal Prince Schwartzenbnrg, I am told, said in tho presence of tha Pope that ‘Hlie Dogma would not be worth the paper on which it would he written;” nor will it be, as events I shall have to narrato will convinoia yon, THE IT. d.AMATIOX. “At the conclusion of the Kyrie eleison, the names of the ! Fathers were called over, and Placet after Placet succeeded ad nauseam—but what a storm burst over the Church at this mo ment ! The lightning flashed and the thunder pealed as wo have not heard it .this sqason be fore. Every Placet seemed to h& announced by a flash and terminated by a clap of ;thunder. Through the cupolas the lightning entered, licking, as it wfere,-, the very, columns of the ■Raldachino over the -tpmb of St, )P^ter, and lighting up large spaces on the pavement.

It jrapiUaifltt&i nearer, and for k r minute, I most serioUsly say that I cotdd hot understand whot that Swelling sound was until I saw a cloud of white hand kerchiefs waving in the air. The Fathers had begun with' clapping—they wetb : the fOglemen to tho crowd who took up the notes and signs of rojoicihg until the church of God was con verted ipto a theater ,for ;|he r .exhibition , of hu man passions. “Viva Pio Nono,” “Viva il Pa pa Infallibile," “Viva il trionfo dei Cattolici,” were shouted by thi9 priestly assembly; and oj^in another round they hadand yet another was attempted as soon as the To Denm had been sung and the benediction had been given. It was a morning never to bo forgotten by the con trasts between the absenoe of almost every ef fect which man conld hate provided, j and; the presenoe of those wonderful effects of nature which !have attempted to describe. I ? - A miserably small assemblage in the church; no decorations, no proud procession ,- the ball almost closed from the view of the public ; one- third of the entire number of the Bishops, and those the leading members of the Hierarchy, absent; the Eoyid box nearly empty; the Di plomatic box as much so, for France, Austria, Prnssia and Bavaria had instructed their Minis ters not to attend, nor to illuminate in the eve ning—such were the external circumstances of humiliation whioh struck the senses. On the other hand, the God of Nature, and perhaps, too, of the Pope, had entered the very charoh of St. Peter clothed in his sublimest form. Until 12 o’clock did this terrifio storm continue, and then the Council broke Up.

There is quite: a rivalry between a hotel at Glascow junction and ono at Cave City, for passengers to the cave.— Each parly represents his lino the best.— We selected the : latter, and was carried over in an old-fashioned four-horse coach, very pleasantly along a high mountain road.— Between Cave: City and Mammoth Cave we stopped to Eea -a . new cave more; recently discovered.. It is called Indian Cave, and wiU pay anybody well to stop, and go through: it.

We pre dict that this cave will yet excite tho world by its beauty and grandeur. Upon arrival at ihe Mammoth Cave Hotel we soon found that the proprietor was interested in (ho other line, and was not disposed. to give us much -attention. After an hour’s begging and running round, he furnished the ladies of onr party with a ludi crous costume each, (for which he charged, us, $100 each.) We wont into the great cave with a green guide, who seemed to inotv'bnt little, and communicated little of what he knew. He carried U3 what is known as the “short route”— about seven miles.

From the Xew York Mercantile Journal. \ The past few years have produced in the United States many phenomena, social, political and even religions, whioh are most perplexing and disoonraging to the philanthropist and the believer in progress; bnt among .the most dis tressing of them all, none to our minds has been more utterly tmworthy'of a decent, riot to add a Christian people, than tbe miserable crusade of calumny and violence commenced against the Asiatic laborers now arriving among ns.— The threats boldly and publicly made, in de fiance of national treaty, local law, and the most ordinary ideas of civilization ; tbe actual kf’U fr. J — »rV.\ - -\ > *> and helpless Chinese at San Francisco and else where, and the pitiful arguments with which the attempt is made to defend this ferocious op position, are simply a disgrace to those com munities that tolerate them. It is, indeed, per fectly legitimate for any body of men, any trade or interest deeming itself jeopardized, to ap peal to legislative protection, and to use all rightful means to secure it But hr individual or combination of individuals has a shadow of right to prevent or harrass the honest, respect able labor of any other person, resident or for eign. The moment that violent interference is tolerated in one direction, a precedent is set that may prove fatal to all law and order, to the rights of property, and, at last, to the very lives of citizens. This country is too loosely con stituted, in many points of view, to be safe for any length of time after we shall have allowed the turbulent and rebellious elements of society to get fair headway. We must arrest them now, if we would save much blood and tears, here after. Only a few years ago, the better sense of the country rebuked the local persecution of for eigners coming to the United States from Eu rope. But now, outrages exactly similar to those'then denounced, are threatened to be per petrated on the far weaker and far less numer ous Asiatics. Now, we may reasonably ask :— “In equity, what.is the distinction as against them ?’’ Have they not also come here by invita tion, and are they not, in a majority of cases, quite as intelligent, quite as akillfal, and quite as peaoeabledn their lives and manners as many of their European rivals 1 These are questions .which the records of California most conclu sively answer in tho affirmative, arid the report concerning them, since they began to flow into the Eastern States, is quite as good in all places where they are to be found actively at work. But, in addition to the injustice and rank folly of abusing these people, there is something excessively mean and cowardly in it. We well know that had China steam fleets and armament i proportionate to her vast population and enor mous wealth, she conld make short work of nil onr seaports and, of the whole navy that:, might attempt to defend them. Four hundred mil lions of quick, skillful, shrewd and both war like and maritime people will not be loDg in availing themselves of the tactics and appliances which modem science offers, and wo must re member thattheroare always scattered through out the world a, goodly host of adroit adventurers —the free lances of, mankind—who, are ever eager to fight for the master who pays them well, no matter who he may be. Indeed, it is a question whether China could not- hire, to-, morrow, if she chose, a fleet that would blow our pretence of a navy, as it is at present, onii of the water. ... * j o1 a !We repeat, then, that it is something not to be endured—this'selflsh wickedness of. rowdy ism which; in persecuting the Chinese, stultifies our own institutions,; shuts ont,immigration from the East, and makes, for ns, perhaps, im placable enemies by millions, in precisely those regions of the earth Where we expect the richest and most .’lasting: trade that this country has ever enjoyed.; « <fro .>-, r o -m:J Finally, there is another grand material argu ment, whibh. wo have repeatedly used before Tho Chinese workman, in this country, is a la- lor-saving machine.
