SATURDAY May 3-1870 About tho Refugees- At a meeting of the Cooper Union, last -week, in aid of the refugees of the south, the colored nsin (name not given) having charge of the movement in St. Louis, reported that within the j last four weeks 5,000 refugees had j reached th:itcity. He had called up pon Fred. Douglas, but was received coldly by him. He then went to the president, and Hjiyes evaded his questions. That is the President's method. No one can tell what he means to do, however they may call, and however sharp they may be in questioning. Then the agent went to Mr. Coirklinjj, and there he was re ceived cordfalry; and the senator gave him encouragement, and after that his Tv'ork, he says, was easier. Why Fred. Douglas should meet this agent of the colored people (voluntary or other wise), with the iciness of a white poli tician of the late school, says the Alta, is not easily explained. Is it possible that Douglas has become white inside, like the other patriots who hang about 'Washington; or does he disapprove of the action of free i men who emigrate from a condition worse than the old slavey from which he, the same Fred. Douglas, fled years ago, and was but too happy for any assistance tendered him then ? Only two cottages are being erec ted at Newport for the coming season. One owned by Mr. Philip Caswell of Boston, founder of the New York drug firm of Caswell, Hazard & Co. It is in the Queen Ann style of archi tecture, and stands in a commanding position, surrounded by twent acres of beautiful grounds. The cost will be S100,000. The other new cottage belongs to Mr. P. S. Taggart, a retired New York merchant. The advertising columns of the Nebraskian are filled with rude wood cuts of cows, each with a particular brand on her side, and her ears trimmed into irregular shapes. These are the herdsmen's announcements of the way in which their stock is marked for identification, so that when the 'beasts get astray on the prairies, or are stolen, they maybe readily traced. The variety of cows ears must be great out there, for in these pictures may be found specimens of square, triangular, three-pronged, and irregularly notched ears, no cow having ears that match each other. , The recent breaking out of yellow fever on a ship which, though aftccteil .hist season, had been thoroughly fumi gated and had moreover been sub jected 10 the frosts and cold of the entire winter in a northern port, is causing much alarm throughout the south for fear that the germs of the dread disease have not been killed br the winter's frosts, and a return of the fever, earlier and more malignant than ever may break out and sweep the country again with the first return of warm weather. Every possible precaution should be taken to prepare for such a visitation, even in the nerth: and the work of cleansing up cannot be begun too early, or repeated to often. A Baltimore man recently wrote to Herbert Spaucer for an explana tion of the paradoxical customs of the Japanese, citing examples as follews: "A piece of cord in Japan is twisted from left to right in the process of manufacture. A plane is drawn toward the person using it. The teeth of a saw are so sot that it is tho upvrard pull that cuts. Their hoots commence at what ue would -call the end, turning the loaves from loft to right, while the lines run up and -down the page, instead of across, .and the pages are numbered at tho foot. Thg face of their clock moves and the hands arc stationary. They say it is four o'clock, meaning that it lacks four hours of being noon, while with us it is always so much past the starting point." Mr. Spencer replied that the question involves "a wider - range than at first sight appears," but declined to express his viev3, on the plea of lack of time. Subterranean Tclcgraplis The system of subterranean tele graph wires designed by the post- ! uTasteT-genoral of the German em- I pi rer will be completed, according' to present arrangements, m a year and a half. Two lines will then traverse the empire diagonally; the one running from northeast to southwest, from Konigsberg to Strasburg, the other from north west to southeast, from Hamburg to Rntibor, a town in the extreme south of Silesia. These two main lines will cross one another in Ber lin. In the west of the empire a subterranean telegraph will run in a curve from Strasburg through Cologne to Hamburg: in the east another lino will connect Konigs berg with Katibor; and, finally, a cable will traverse southern Ger many runimig generally east and west, though apparently the exact route for this last telegraph lias not yet been definitely decided upen. When the proposed system is com pleted, therefore, all the fort resses and commercial towns of any importance in Germany will be connected to one another by subterranean wires. The cable first laid down, that from Berlin to Halle, has been satisfactorily sub jected to the severest scientific tests. ifcoitx. In thiscitv. May 1st. to the. wife of Frank P. Holt, a bouncing boy; close on to 14 pounds. Frank Holt is a painter, and this is so queer, it looks ns lliouirli he was in op potion to Stockton. However, compli ments received, and we wish them all much happiness. It isn't every town in the United States that can furnish such evidences of affection on May-day, to its leading painters.
