our own dear Georgia by this filthy scrambling for the

Visit to the Coolies.
Mt Brooks, one of the editors of the New York Ex
pi err, thus speaks of the Coolies whom he went to see
during his recent visit to Cuba:
The inmates of one of these buildings were one of the
cargoes of Chinamen or Coolies, to which I made allu
sion in my last letter. They presented a most grotes
que and curious goape of jtersoni?. All were barefoot
ed, nli had their frock of dark blue cotton and bmad
letrged trowser*, and nearly all were of the same Indian
and swathy complexion. Twice have I been strikingly
reminded of our North American savages. Once in the
native dances of various tribes, the freshly imported Af
rican*, and now iu the appearance of the Chinamen.
All was new to the Cniuamen. Thev gazed at us as
w.j gazed at them. Most of their countenances were
pleasant and intelligent, ar.d all of them, except the few
who were ill, seemed to becapal.de of great toil and quite
ready to begin the labor assigned them. Thus earls
in the morning ihalf-past seven) a rich citizen was up
on the spot so pick out a family servant, and ready to
comply with the contract, (SIOO bonus, and $8 a month
aud touud iu foal for eight year’s service. The man
selected was rather unwilling to leave his companions
and countrymen even for s better home than he had
ever known before, but when the interpreter told him
that the days would not be long, and the labor light,
his objections vanished, and he readily took leave of the
old for the sake of the new.
Everything indicated plentituiness and good treat
ment lor these Chinamen. They are to be well paid for
their apprenticeship, and tree at the end of the prescrib
ed term of service, and as the policy’ of the Spani.ih Go
vernment has always been rather to take part against
the masters -nd employers, the laborers will probably
find prompt protectors in the Island, it there should lie
an intention to violate contracts.
(?*TwCh*M! and Vhi-Chi was to me the only compre
hensive language of the Chiuamen. They were merry
with their chop-sticks, happy over their rice, and will
prove a profitable speculation to their importers, and
to each other. Thousands more are to come here, but
the attempt to bring China women here, I am now told,
has failed. The law is against their embarkation, and
custom w ill not tolerate the outrage.
The principal presses here have been arguing ttpou
the ntoiaiity of the introduction of the Chinese into the
Island of Cuba, in connection with the horrors of the
slave trade. The two systems strike me as very unlike.
The Coolie* may be cheated in the end, hut they come
he*c profitably, ate paid liberally for their lalsir, uud are
their own masters, it cost some twenty doilais to ship
them to Cuba, and after their passage is paid for, lint
more thau fifty dollars profit is paid to the importer —
the great gain beiiiu m the introduction of more labor
el-* to the Island. The Chinamen brought here have
soon become absorbed in the general population. They
are apt iu conforming to a naw mode of living, and are
icady and willing enough to adopt the habits and cus
toms of the country.
Thk Hippodrome. —The opening of the Hippodrome
last night, w is witnessed by probably the largest audi
ence ever assembled in a place of amusement in America,
and amy elegant audience too. Long before the per
formances commenced, the sale of tickets were stopped,
and many hundreds, perhaps thousands, were disap
pointed in obtaining admission. The immense impki*
theater was crowded in every part by an audience of
tour thousand, which, by the way, is the largest num
ber it will contain, and not ten thousand, as the des
criptions of it have stated. Had there been h better
dispo-ition of the light, end vastly greater quantity of
it, the scene would have been brilliant jn the extreme.
This defect may be, and ought to be remedied, she
music, too, i- weak. The band should have mote
foruieis, a uew set of brass instrument* should be pro
cmed, with the bells towards she audience. At present
the instruments are those used in our military bauds,
ihe bells being behind the performers, and the sound is
absorbed by the canvass covering of the building, in
stead of being throwu forward nto the ateua. The
extent of the course, about seven hundred feet jn cir
cuniforenee, i* vudieient to give space for a large body
of riders, indeed, the excitement during some of the
horse race* and chariot races last evening, produced
the wildest enthusiasm. The chief in tut cat of the
Hippodrome is it* these novel performances; the scene
at t mes bad an interest parallel to the race course, the
riders aud drivers straining every nerve to win the
goal, and urged forward by the shouts of thousands.
One scene of particular interest w as a chariot ta:e after
the manuer of the Greeks, the charioteers being w omen.
This race was to be a mile, or seven times round the
course. One of the Amazons determined to win the
cup, and by a sudden exertion surpassed the others, at
the expense, however, of being upset in a very whirl of
destruction —the chariot wheel r uling off, and the
vehicle being revera*d and hurled against the barriers.
This bit of real life absorbed the attention of the 4,000
Greeks or classics present. The race was continued
by the two remaining, and afterward the upset heroine
showed herself to convince everybody that she had
;;an;e. The fatal accident at the Olympian games did
not detract from but constituted a part of their interest.
The particular taste which tbs auditors showed, con
’ inced us that the ancient Greek tire i* not extinct;
anti ail that is wanted is to make it the fashion for
auditors to become actors—as were the great people
of old in their national games—to revive the “heroic
I “i. 1 -
The audience separated in great good humor; and if
the first night can carry promise, the success of the
Hippodrome is assured.— Aew York Tribune.

Practical Amalgam4TlOK.—Uur readers will pro- I
bubly remember the excitement which was caused iu |
Onondaga county by tbe report that P“of. Alleu, a ne
gro teacher, was about to marry the daughter of a
clergyman in whose family lie was intimate. The com
munity \\ as so outraged by the statement that they |
rose e'n determined that the comtemplated step
should not be taken. The father of the misguided girl j
who was about to uuite herself for life to a negro,
though he hau previously countenanced his visits, ana ‘
argi ed that there should be no social barriers between •
the two races, was almost heart-broken in anticipation .
of the proposed alliance. The feeling was so strong !
that the marriage was given over at that time, and Proj. j
Alien declared hD> intention of not again seeking the ,
ham of the lady, and the lady in turn averred that she !
would not ntarrv her colored lover on anv considera
tions as she had recovered from her defusion. But !
this was only a ruse to deceive the public and the
friends of the lady. By the following, which we copy
from the Syracuse Star, it will be seen that the “unholy
compact” has K*en entered, and the couple have follow
ed Mr*. Stowe to England :
“Married, in New York citv, March 30th, by Rev.

tou. n
\Vs expected a* much. We were liberally abused
for our discountenance of this marriage, and charged
with wilfully falsifying facts, because we insisted that
this tffair was in contemplation and would yet go off
Prof Alien denied it, and others thought that they had
the most positive assurance from his statements that
tbe amalgamation wedding was a fiiction. But now
alter ae and his white brethren have liberally impugn
ed our motives, charged falsehood upon us, and made
solemn asseverations designed to make the public be
lieve that no such thing was ia contemplation, in two
brief months tbe thing is consummated with all the
formality of a religious observance, and this unholy
amshamatioa is perpetrated before high heaven and
asserted among m<*n.
Pr.f. Allen and his fair bride are now in Europe.
It is well they abould emigrates to show vhniriug for

pots, compared to whom the crudest slayer drive is an
angel, ana there proclaim their “holy alliance. If tbe

as follows, viz: 17" at 10, aud 23 at 1 Olae.
Alousta, May 6.—The Asia’s accounts have had no

PRESENTMENTS OF GRAND JURY. OF HOUSTON
COUNTY.
PANEL NO. 1.
■yi rE, the Grand Jurors, selected, chosen and sworn
> \ for the county of Houston, at the April Term,
1853, beg leave to make the follow ing presentments :
In pursuance of our duty, as the (Land Inquest of
the county, we have examined the hooks of the Superior
aud Inferior Courts, and also the books of the Treasurer,
and of tho Commissioners of Poor Schools. We find
them all intelligibly and correctly kept. The books of
the Clerk of the Superior Court’ are kept with a neat
ness and order which deserve special commendation.
We learn from the report of the Commissioners of
Poor Schools, that there is a surplus fund of seven
hundred and eighty-three dollars and forty-two cents
f#7"3.12), one account, which he learns is some fifty
dollars, yet to be paid. There were returned, last year,
three hundred and seventy-one children, entitled to the
benefit of the fund. It is the opiuion of the Commis
sioners that there will he fifty more beneficiaries the
present year, and that it will require an additional
amount ot thirteen hundred dollars to meet the demands
of the present year. We, therefore, recommend to the
Inferior Court to empower said Commissioners to levy,
and cause to ho oollocied by the Tax Collectors, fifteen
per cent on the general tax to meet that demand.
The books of the Treasurer show a balance in the
Treasuty <>t eighteen hundred and eighteen dollars aud
fifteen cents ($1$18.15). There arc, however, as we
learn from the books of the Clerk of tho Inferior Court,
| outstanding debts against the county to the amount of
twelve hundred dollars, which, when paid, will leave a
sumlus of six hundred and eighteen dollars.
There is a deficit in tho amount collected for the poor
j of two hundred and eighteen dollars, and an excess in
i the Jury hind of eleven hundred and ninety-five dollars
and eighty-two cents. We, therefore, recommend the
follow iug alteration in the assessment of county taxes,
to-wit: That there lie no assessment for Jury funds the
present year, and that an additional amount of five per
cent over and above hat assessed last year, be levied
on the general tax, in order to augment the Poor Fund.
We further recommend to the Inferior Court to levy
a tax suificicnt to pay to the Grand Jurors of the county
oue dollar per day for their services.
For the more general aud systematic distribution of
the public charities o( the county, and in view of the
fact of the increase of paupers in our midst, some of
tho members of the Inferior Court suggest the propriety
of building a Poor House. We heartily concur with
those gentlemen in the expediency of such a provision
for the consummation of so desirable an object ; and
we, therefore, recommend that the Inferior Court take
this matter in hand, devise the plan and locate the
building wheresoever they in their discretion may deem
a proper place; and for that purpose ihat they cause
to l>e levied such a lax as shall be adequate to meet the
expenses which may be incurred.
The public buildings, roads and bridges, have been
appropriate objects for inspection and examination.
The Court House and Jail are in good order; but we
would be glad to see a splendid brick edifice occupy the
site of our present insecure wooden building. The records
of the property of Houston arc jeopardized in the pre
sent building; but, in view of our present and contin
gent liabilities, and the goodness of the present house,
we think that the time for recommending the building
of a spacious brick house, with suitable rooms for the
clerks, has not yet arrived.
The public roads all over the county, and ninny of ,
the bridges, are in very bad condition ; and we recom
mend that the proper authorities hold to a strict ac
countability, tho Commissioners of Public Roads, and
that they also sec to it that the bridges be kept iu good
repair.
There is one other matter held vitally dear by all the
advocates of moral reform, which has claimed aud de
manded our most mature consideration. It is the pro
position entertain Wand acted upon by several Grand
Juries in the State, to recommend and request our Sena
tors and Representatives in the next Legislature, to use
their best endeavors to have a general law passed, that
at the annual elections at which county officers are
elected in the several counties each year, the electors
endorse on their tickets “ license ” or “ no license.”
Wc have ever been opposed to invoking legislative
interposition with a view to expedite tho progress of
the great temperance reformation, as the matter has
heretofore presented itself to our mind ; but the present
temperance move meets our cordial approbation—aud
yet, admonished to prudence by the former indiscretion
of the advocates of temperance, lest we may do injury
1o a just and glorious cause; and that we may secure
1o aU their “legal” and “moral rights,” to hie deter
mined by themselves, we accord our assent to the pro
position,’ with this slight modification : That instead of
the people in the counties determining by a general
vote for the whole county, the people in’ the cities,
towns, and incorporated villages, and in tho absence of
these, in the Militia districts of the counties, speak
through the ballot box, and determine the matter in
premises for themselves.
In taking our leave of his Honor, Judge Powers, and
the Solicitor, William K. DeGratfenrcid, we beg leave
to return our thanks for their attention and courtesy
towards this bodv.

Artificial Teeth on a Xeto Plan. —By this method,
several important points are gained. Ist, great strength;
2d, a perfect artificial gum. as any desirable tint may be
giveu, 3d, the entire cleanliness of the whole, as not the
slightest mixture can get between the plate and teeth.
Cleansing and Filling with Gold and Tin FoU. Tooth
ache cured in most cases without extracting, and if not
too far decayed, plugged so as to arrest further decay.
Teeth extracted without the use of the Turnkey, beipg
; much less painful than the usual mode. Being acquain
ted with the latest improvements in the science of Den
tistry, we feel confident in saying that our operation*
will be performed on the most scientific principles, and
in the neatest possible manuer, and in most cases, giv
ing little or no pain to the patient. Being Permanent
ly located, we shall always be ready, if neoessity re
quires, to make good our work, without extra charge.

couraging by their patronage, Resident Dentists, we
flatter ourselves as such, wc shall be sustained. Cfltaa-
