He proposed to vindicate the testimony of Clem ! entshaw who was sent to the peni tentiary for perjhry in swearing at a preliminary examination that Dc Young fired the first shot.

Goodman, on Chouatwis street, has just receiveti the late6t (,d most ftshionabh style of ironta Ad THE NEW CHINESE TREATY. It is Called a "Farce by a Paper Published in China SUaiutfuU Merrnn . .laiiuatn 11th. All the terms of tlie Chinese treaty wiUi the United States were not published iu tlie American pHHrs. One significant stipula tion is that no 1'nited States citi zen is to be allowed to deal in opium, nor any United States ves sels to carrv it. There is only one United States steamer trading on the coast of China now, so that it is an innocuous stipulation for the citizens of tlie great republic, while it suits tlie Chinese. In making treaties the Chinese have usually had a tabby. For instance, in the treaty with Sjain, the Chinese introduced a clause that only sal aried consuls were to be ap pointed, and every subsequent treaty contained a similar clause. Now every treaty is to have a clause about opium, and another about Chinese coolies. The first may go on very well until they have a question with Great Britain, when we fancy there will be a diffi culty. The second has been in serted in more than one treat', the Brazilian, we suspect. It is in tended to benefit the China Mer chants' Steam Navigation company probably more than the coolies. We may remark that we hare been in possession of the foregoing in formation for some time, from our Peking correspondent, but we were not at liberty to publish it until the rest of the information lately received from America was published in some other quarter. The treat, as a whole, may be looked upon as a farce, and was intended probably as an elec tioneering move. It abolishes the Burlingamc convention, and allows the United States to do as they please about Chinese immigrants. Fresh leaf lard at Warren and Eaton's.

Iu something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a general disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of inaturer years, to enlighten and bles the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse ami his histor. Our books ami newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs ami a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He smelleth the battle afar oti', the thunder of the captains ami the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his first school couiHsitiou, and the professional literature, we have every made of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct." And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by mail to any person for twenty-five cents, postage paid. Appl to" The Astokiax oflice, or address D. C. Ire land, Astoria, Oregon.
