The "China trad"r-' is talked of here as

while the amount realized from the China

Mail Company do not find the China trade
profitable enough to enable them to run
more than otie steamer per month, but
capitalists here are urging tie m to run
two steamers per mouth (the object being.
I suppose, to bring the coolies in faster),
and they have petitioned Coi gn r-s to

The apple crop in this neighborhooc,

us that they will have barely fruit enough

occasioned by heavy frosts that came in

Notwithstanding the adoption
and promulgation of the fifteenth
amendment, and the announcement
of the great event of the colored
ace by a special message to Con
gress, it is faintly whisjx'red that
Mrs. Grant objects to having
negroes at her drawing room re
ceptions. '"This is the most unkiud
est cut of all,'1 especially since it is
universally admitted that Wash
ington society lias, of late j-ears,
been very much mixed.
XTegroes black spirits and
white; red -spirits" have mingled
in the social gatlferfngs at Wash
ington ; have occupied private
boxes and the dress circle at the
theatres; were present at Col. For
ney's ball, and enjoyed the mazes
of the dance, the quadrilles and
polkas, with the utmost harmony
and eclat. It is unbecoming m
3i';-s. Grant to have such unbecom
ing and vulgar prejudice. St.
The positi on here assigned to Mrs,
Grant is the position really of
nine-tenths of tho wealthier liadi
eals, male and female. In their
elforts to promote the negro and
degrade, the whites, the radicals
have never for a moment intecdeu
;o make the negro the equal of j
tlie rich white man, or to force the
rich to recognise him as either
politk'al'v, socially, or otherwise
their asoc'te and equal. The
object at wiic1' the Radicals have
been aiming for the past ten years
vs to make the iu;':ro the equal,
and the rich negroes t.l,c superior,
of the poor whites. There h
nrobably not a white man
who
votes the Radical ticket, who ;vill
admit that the negro is the politi
cal or social equal of the rich while
man, and not a Radical who will
not toll you that the negro is, and
in .all respects should be, the equal
of the poor white man. In the
position that Mrs. Grant has taken,
she is sustained and endorsed by
her husband, the President, and.
all other rich Radicals. They feel
that the negroes are not fit to be
socially entertained by them, but
insist that poor white people have
no right to refuse to recognize the
negroes as their equals socially and
in "all respects, are I that the poor
whiles have no right to refu-e t
entertain negroes upon terms of
perfect epuahty at any and all their
social gatherings. Such is Radi
calism, and such have been the
purpose of the leaders of that
party for the past ten years.

The Pittsburg Gazette gives an
account of waltzing match which
recently took place at a ball in
that city: After general dancing
until midnight, twelve couples
took the floor to contest; for a prize,
a gold ring, to be' given to the
"lady1 who should out-waltz ail
competitors. After four hours
steady dancing, only two couples
remained on the floor. The '- f
acount closes as follows:
After live hours and three
minutes had 'elapsed, one of the
ladies fainted, her partner quickly
followed her example, and, amid
cheers, the prize was awarded to

At the late session of the Acade

most interesting feature of the last
day's proceeding was a graphic
lecture on the Basalts of Oregon

Kavmond. After speaking of the
Dailes themselves, he said that on
the road from the Dailes to Canvon
City, along the San lee river, was a
tremendous thickness of basaltic

upheaval and worn it deeper. lie

of the caves north of the Dalles.
There was no ice in Portland last
summer when he visited the place,
but a few miles further it was
abundant, and, on inquiry, he U ant
ed that it was mined from the ice
caves forty miles up the Salmon
river, near the foot of Mt. Adams.
An expedition set out for the caves.
They with not large, but beautiful
.and filled with the purest ice in
mid summer. Here was a possible
hint of the lost rivers which
puzzle the discoverer. This was a
volcano country, and the centers
of lines of eruptions could be trac
ed by the terraces. The ground im-
der the horses feet sounded hollow
1,'om the falling in of the roofs of
old caverns frorti one to four miles
in length, which were old ducts of
the lava. He had st'ii the same
thing on Vesuvius in the eruption
of ISoO-'CO, which was not from
the crater, but at the sides as from
a bleeding wound. 1 he stream of
lava cools at the sides and top,
protecting the hot stream beneatlf.
Finally the orifice becomes choked
with stones and cooling lava at the
eruptive point, and the lava Hows
away, leaving the duct empty, end
ing at some elevation of the surface
which tore up the duct. In the
ice caves, the roof hrM fallen at the
corners, but on the sides and floors
the smears of lava could be soon
in fibrous masses, spirting on the
roof-like door. In these caves the
wafer trickles from thawing snow,
in winter freezing as it falls, form
ing bergs of tons of ice reaching
nearly to the top of the cave. This
is much colder than common ice,
and lasts all summer. Just below
the lower line of Mt. Adams was
to be found a mhilature paradise,

Loxo Coi'KTsiiips. A corres
pondent says: if there is anyone
thing more disheartening to a
woman than a long courtship, I
have yet to discover it. From the
woman who marries for a home, to
the fair creature who marries for
love, there are thousands who are
kept in suspense for years not
knowing whether the man whom
they expect to marry is really go
ing to marry them or not. It is
very certain that long courtships
seldom result in matrimony. It
generally happens that the faults
of both parties .are made evident,
and the desire for separation i mu
tual. Rut no voting (or old) man
has any right to monopolize
the attentions of a lady for years
und then probably not marry her.
By doing so lie more than likely
prevents her from marrying some
one who would be glad to have
her, and acts a part which no
gentleman will. So, then, when
you have decided the lady is wor
thy of your choice (and don't be
too long about it), either marrry
her or give some one else a chance
to.

Radical teachings the negroes are
fast coming to regard themselves
as the "superior race." This feel
ing crops out in their devotions, as
witness the following which jut
now is a favorite hymn at the ne
gro camp-meelings in the Southern
States :
We's nearer to the Lord
Dan le white folks, and they know it.
See de glory gate unbarred
Walk in. darkeys, past de guard!
Hot a dollar he won't close It!
' Walk in. darkeys, froo de gate ;
Hark, de kullered angels boiler ;
(Jo 'way. white folks, yon's too lata!
We's de winuin' kuller : Wait !
Till de trumpet iounds to loiter!

Long eniiiT we s borne our crosses ;
Now- we's de sooperior race.
And v.-id Gorramigiity "s prace.
We's goin" lo hebbeti afore de bosses."
Something to Think of. Our
Radical rulers refuse to send a Min

our fellow citizens are to be found,
attracted there either by religion
or curiosity. This is done On the

A correspondent of the P.ieli
niond Dispatch under date of May
16th, writes thus "concerning the
j ex-Y ice 1 resident cf the Confed-
erev:
I found Mr. Stephens looking
very pale and emaciated, reclining
in his invalid chair, and intently
discussing some law points in a
murder case with a legal friend.
Though extremely feeble, when
interested or excited lie would sit
up erect and, his remarkable eye
would sparkle with its old fire and
he would address hB; hcarer.-oin an
animated and always convincing
strain. It is his custom, when thV
weather is fine, toQsit in his easy
chair in his verandah, and as lie
converses wheels himself gentlyb
back and forth by a convenient
arrangement whicli- costs him Fart
little effort, and, as he saj'S, exer
cises and strengthens his arms and
chest. When the sun gets low he
calls for his crutches and hobbles
slowly over the lawn and througli
his well kept garden, in which ne
seems much interested. IfSving
but partial use of his legs, Mr.
Stephens walks with difficulty on

located, and thiirks he will nevei
be able to lay his crutches aside
Mr. S. has just put his finishing
touches to his second volume of
"The War between the States" and
some copies are now in the hands
of the agents. This work is an
invaluable addition to pjur literature,-
giving what has never yet
been attained an impartial history
of our late troftbles. The author
manifests great interest in the fate
of his work. lie told me0when

f lowed by a lengthy criticism in
Bledoes Review, he read the
whole fifty-one pages before he put
it down, which he did with a sence
of relief; "his hipohad weathered

A correspondent in Mississippi
asks: o
"Is it true, as some of the
Northern papers continue to assert
that the negro Revels occupies Mr.
Davis' old seat in the Senate?"
Xo ; it is not true. There Avas an
effort made to secure it for him,
but failed. It was intended that
the history of the time should re
ford, "as the grandest provi
dence of the nineteenth century,"
that the humble negro Hiram Rev
els occupied in the United States
Seriate the seat in which once sat
the arch-traitor Jefferson Davis.
And in order to brinr it about
Sumner, Wilson, and half a dozen
other negro-worshipers approached
Senator Ross of Kansas, and said
to him, "Arise, exchange seats
