NORTH GERMAN STEAMSHIP LINE
We publish this-morning the proceedings

of establishing a line of steamships between

feel a deep interest, which promises not

will instne to ihe Souihund Southwest a
sfn-iVe of the lnfope:iii emigration which
I hey so much need, and which has until
now been almost exclusively monopolized
by the Northern and Western States. Re
cent indications justify the belief that all
that is required to induce a large Gorman
emigration to the South, is propel vneour

regular means of economical transportation
with suitable ail and accommodations for
emigrants on their arrival in lhe country—

Bremen, tlie Gentian terminus of the
proposed steamship line, is the empoiium
ot Brunswick, Hesse and Hanover, and
besides being one of ihe most important
commercial cities in the German Confeder
acy, is tiie principal German port for the
shipment oi emigrapis to America, 19,145
having etiibai ked from dint port in 1544.
It is n large shipping port, ils lounge beim*’
larger titan Hint, ot Hamburg, and has
1 '>ji.aijM\*.e sjji jjin and iguiir.oad com mu idea, -
lion with olner German cities.
'S ite population of Bremen in 18(52 was
07,217, nearly all pvOtestants. Its principal
! Miiporls are tobacco, coHee. sugar, oiiroti,
I fin, ' v: “s& nee, tea, eoiion maim faotn res,
| {timber ®id hemp. It,s chief exports are
I linnet) aifd’wAen gootls, 'ghtfir, oak bark,

in 1818 were valued at £i, 302,841 —exports

consists 111 ship hitiiding- {.mj manufactures
of woolens and cdtUms, paper, siaruli,
colors and cigars; it has also extensive
stl n at ' refineries, beer breweries, ami bran
dy distilleries. These facts, wtiiclt we
glean from Lipp*nqotlVGazette, will give
:tn idea of (he commercial capacities of
Bremen.
In this connection the following table,
compiled lroin official sources, showing the
increase ot G-ennan emigration and the
proportion in which it stands to the .cm*
ignition from Ireland, will be of interest.
Ihe statistics are given by (he Democrat,
a German Radical paper of New York, as
follows:

It will .be seen that- the Germ ay «u}igi a

that in the threatening aspect of affairs in

no room to doubt that, with proper effort,

COOLIE. TRADE PROHIBITED.
THE A(3TS OF CONGRESS ON TIIE SUBJECT — THE
PUNISHMENT EOli OEE ENOCHS, PINE AND I.M
PIUSONM ENT.
Il is well known tßit the wealthy Ran
Francisco merchant Koopmanshap has
recently strenously advocated the intro.,
dilution of the coolie labor system, which at
present prevails only in the Pacific Stales,
into all pai ls of the United Suites; that he
stalled a gigantic project for bringing
coolies into this country direct from China,
that'lie was prominently concerned in the
Memphis Convention, where the subject of
cheap, labor was extensively discussed;
that he subsequently came North with the
expectation of receiving encouragement in
his’undertaking; and that while here he
proposed to import 10,000 Coolies for the
use of fanners in the Atlantic States. But
it appears that the Coolie Hade is strictly
forbidden by law. His enterprise comys
under an act passed during* the second
■iiliSS,U >- 1 oi .Bo IJi li'l.ji-■»**£von ill Coogre.-s,
specifying that no citizen or foreigner
coining into or residing within the United
Stares shall engage iii tile Coolie trade uu
dor penalty of losing the vessel or vessels
■ S(> engaged. In ihe same act it is provided
that every person that shall aid or abet
tin* building, eqtiipiug or navigating of any
vessel intended fur the Coolie trade, shall,
upon conviction, be liable to a fine not
exceeding $2,000, and be imprisoned not
exceeding one year. Another section of
the same act makes it an offence to take on
board of any vessel, or receive or trans
port any Coolies who shall be intended lbr i
the Coolie trade.. The punishment is a fine
of $2,000, or imprisonment for one year.
The first and most important section of the
act reads as follows :
‘‘‘That, no citizen or citizens of the United
Stales, or foreigner coming into or residing
within the same, shall, for himself or for
any oilier person whatever, either as a mas
ter, factor, owner, or otherwise, raise build
equip, load, or otherwise prepare any ship
er vessel, or any steamship or steam vessel
registered,, enrolled or licensed, -in the
United Slates, or any port within the same,
lor the purpose of procuring from China, or
from any part or place therein, or from any
other port or place the inhabitants or sub
jects of China, known as Coolies, to be
transported to any foreign country, port or
place whatever, to be disposed of, or sold,
or transferred, fur any term of years, or for
any time whatever, as servants or ’appren
tices, or to be held te service or labor. And
if any ship or vessel, steamship or steam?
vessel, belonging in whole or in part to
citiz ns of the United States, and register
ed, enrolled or otherwise licensed as afore
. *■ \ *
said, shall be employed for the said purpose

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,
One hundred and ten years ago, there
was not a single while man in Ohio. .Ken**
tacky, Indiana and Illinois. Then, what in
now lire most flourishing part of America
was as little known us the country arouud
the mountains of the moon. It was not un
til 1707 that B jotie left his home in North
Carolina to become the first settler of Ken
tucky. The first poineer of Ohio did not
settle until twenty years after this time.
A hundred years ago Canada belong to
France, and the whole population did not
exceed a million and a half of people. A
hundred years ago, the Fredericks of Pros**
sia was preforming those great exploits
which have made him immortal in military
annals, and with his little monarchy was
sustaining a single handed contest with.
Russia, Austria and France, the three great
powers of Europe combined.
A hundred years ago, Napoleon was not
born, and Washington was a modest Virgi
nia colonel, and ihe great event iu history
of the two Worlds, in which these great blit
| dissimilar men took leading parts Wcto
| then scarcely foreshadowed. A hundred
I years ago, the United Slates were the most
; loyal part of the British empire, and oil the
political h >riz m no speck indicated the
struggle which within a score of yeufrs
thereafter established the great republic
of the world. i
Adiiindred years ago, there was but four
newspapers in America. Steam engines
had not been imagined, and railroads and
telegraphs had not entered into the
remotest conception of man. When we
corne to look back at it through the vista
of history, we find that tb the century pass
mi has been allotted more important eveuts,
in their bearings upon the happiness of the
world, than almost any other that has
elapsed since the creation.'
SETT! N Q OUT ST A H'BERRY BEDS.*
Strawberry plants can now be act out from
the middle of August to the end of Septem
ber. ft is true August is generally a very
warm and very dry mouth, but iu case of
the absence of rain the newly planted beds
must be watered every day or two until
they become established. *
The bed should not be in a
lion, or the soil heavy. Dig deep, pujlyert.
ize finely, and apply a pretty heavy (Ju*W*of<
good barnyard manure. Let the divisions
be about three ami a half feet in 'Width,
and us long as may be desirable. Setdthe.
plants about eighteen inches apart, iusert.
them ni the ground firmly but Hot to,(?pep-
Iy, and then keep clear of all grass and,
welds. ,j >. , f
As to the varieties, which we siioald;
choose for our'own planting the follow Mg: ;
“Triumph, v “Russell,” and “Hovey/ 1 arfd iff
we wished another Jucunda. They should
be planted iu this wise in making up & full
bed, with half a dozen or a dozen divisions:
1 Triumph, 2 Jiicunda, 3 Hovey, 4 Rimsfell..
In tin's way a fine crop is assured with las.
much certainty as anything can be* The
last of November protect the plants witff a.
light covering of Straw the first yeai*; alter
that if ticeded light manure may be siibkti-.
luted as a covering*.

A hull a crop may be expected the first
sea, son. A uiulch of straw cut two or tfifeo
inches lung will keep the ground
cool, which this berry likes, and eonfffier
tiie weeds. This should be applied
pail of April. An application of speutj.aut
is'glso excellent.— Qernumtown Telegraph.
A good anecdote is told oh a house
painter’s son, who Used the brush Very
dexlc-rionsly, hut bad acquired the habM of'
ou.l.ng it on too thick. One day- *his
father, after having frequently scolded him
for his lavish daubing, and all to lio p,ur-.
pose, gave him a severe flagefla’tjuu.
‘There you young rascal,’-after.perform
ing the painful duty, ‘how do you like ttfat?*”
‘VV. 11, 1 don’t know dad,’ whined the Boy,,
in reply, ‘hut it seems-to me you put ‘ft; o.Qt
a great deal thicker than I did.’ *
