recent action of the Committee on

Foreign Affairs deciding that it is ia«x pedient to grant subsidies in any form, either in money or lands, to aid in the construction of ocean telegraph lines, does not refer to the proposition asking consent for the laying and maintaining telegraphic or magnetic lines or cables between the United States and Belgium. It merely asks the consent of the United States to bring and operate the cables into this country,subject to such regulations aq Oongre3s may prescribe.

seems to hav entirely "petered out/ It is estimated by engineers that, if the whole country from ocean to ocean were a dead level, and only twelve feet above the ocean level, the cutting would be over forty-four million cubic yards, threefourths of it a "wet cut." If a dry cut, and through rock, it would cost, at $10 per cubic yard, over $443,000,000. If wet cut, pumping, drainage, etc., would amount tQ six times a« much, or $2,661,120,000, which, added to the dry cut cost, would make the amount over $8000,000,000. If the cut should be two hundred feet above the ocean level, the expense would be proportionately greater, might be computed, but there is not money, enough in the world to pay for the con-j struction.

As! the Chinese Emigration Companies of, California have notified their countrymen jto refrain from costing to our shores,)

Koopmanschap's .. questionable business will come to an early termination. Bring-, ling coolies to our shores and apprenticing! them, or rather mortgaging their labor for a term of yearn, is liable to many and gross obuses, especially in the cases of: 'the poor Chinese when exported from their country by avaricious foreigners, animated by mercenary motives only-

In the long run it will be better for us to. wait until the Chinese emigrants come to us as do those from Europeon lands.

paper was "formerly used to characterize .a kind of disreputable and vicious weekly I publication surreptitiously read by peopie who would be ashamed to give it open patronage. It has been made obsolete in this part of the country by a class of daily newspapers which flourish rankly in this modern time. It is no ^longer necessary for the personal joi)rn* "alist to perform his functions in the semisecrecy of sheets respectable people will hardly name. He exploits himself in papers of wide circulation which make their way freely into families on the false pretense of decency. His calling is lucrative and compartively safe, since he is 'insensible to the punishment of general contempt." The Cincinnati IVmes is gratified to note, however, that this class of journals are rapidly losing their ihbld pupon-the community, the only powerthey possess being the contemptible influence they exercise by working upon the fears of the people, And even this they will not be able to retain much longer

Wild Oats.

The Fresno (Cal.) Expositor is responsible for a remarkable story. Last year, Mr. William W. Hill, or Millerton, raised a fine crop of wheat, which was cut for hay, and the field, four acres in extent, left unmolested. Duringjlast winter, as soon as the rain commenced falling, a tine and thick volunteer crop came up, and Mr. Hill congratulated himself on the prospect of reaping a good crop of wheat hay this year, without the expense and labor of planting the same. The crop is now nearly waist high, and is all headed otft, but, to. the utter astOnish$nieat of Mrfltijl one el«e,?ihe whole of it has, by some mysterious process of nature, been turned into oats.

Hardly a stalk of wheat can be found in the field, where last year all Was wheat a few heads of barley are visible, and on* ly a few the crop in the field is emphatically oat$ It thus appears that one ntty raise a crop of "wild oats in" CalifoAlla without sowing them.

A temporary line had been ran 1739, but had not given satisfaction to the disputing parties, although it resulted from an agreement in 1739 between themselves. A decree had been made in 1613 by King boundaries between the lands given by chart to the first Lord Baltimore, and those adjudged to his Majesty (afterward William Penn), which derided the tract between the Delaware Bay and the Eastern sea on one side And the Cheaspeake on the other, by a line equally intersecting it, drawn from Cape Henlopen to the fourth degree of north latitude. A decree in chancery rendered the king's decree imperative. Bat the situation of Henlopen became long a sub* ject of serious, prdtracted and expensive litigation, particularly after the death of Penn, in 1713, and of Lord Balimore, in 1714, till John and Richard and Thomas Penn (who had become the sole proprietors of the Amercan possessions of their father, William), and Cecilius Lord Baltimore, grandson of Charles, and greatgrandson of Cecilius, the original patentee, entered into an agreement on the 10th of

May, 1772. To this aggreement a chart was appended, which ascertained the side of Cape Henlopen and delineated a division by an east and west line running westward from that Cape to the exact middle of the peninsula. Lord Baltimore became dissatisfied with this agreement and endeavoring to invalidate it. Chan' eery suits, kingly decrees and proprietary argument followed, which eventually produced the appointment of commissioners to run the temporary line. This was effected in 1739. But the cause in chan eery being decided in 1739, new commissioners were appointed, who could not, however, agree and the question remained open till 1761, when the line was run by Messrs. Mason and Dixon.

The Seamstresses of Louisville— Their Wages—How They Live, &e, From the Louisville Commercial.] -r With fingers weary and worn, if With eyelids, heavy and led. nl.' .*5$

A woman sat in unwoicanly race, Plying her needle and thread— Stica! Stiehl Stioh! "The Song of the Shirt" has been poetically considered ever since the immortal Hood penned the soul-thrilling lines but there are few who, after the pathetic reading of those verses, consider the sternly practical ideas undoubtedly in tended by their author. The picture of a wan face and weary fingers, stiching by the faint light of a single candle, is not one of particular attractiveness, but it presents a few features which in themselves are forcibly suggesstive of stern realities.

There are in Louisville several .establishments where girls are employed to stitch from seven o'clock in the morning until six in the evening, dozens of them being crowded into one room, miserably ventilated and none of the number, by reason of the low rate of compensation, being allowed over seventy-five cents per day wages. Facts are stubborn things, and without knowing when or by whom this important question of woman's work and wages is to be regulated but feeling that'some action should be taken in regard to the subject, a few truths concerning the manner in Which working gr-

Girls and women, from thirteen to sixty years of age, visit those houses where work is dispensed, and after giving references as to ability, and often depositing a sum of money as a guarantee of their safe return, are allow id to take home large bundles of pants vfats, shirts, etc. "Home." What a misnomer, one or two rooms in some squalid tenement house, whose filthy odors, disgusting sights, and terrible sounds it would seem impossible if refined censes to endure a moment. But many "live, move and have their being," amid such surroundings, whose susceptibilities were once as delicate as those who reside in marble mansions, Perhaps time, the rough user, has partial ly effaced their ideas of luxurious days, •but tastes once refiined can never be compressed, and blunted down, till wretchedness and misery are unheeded.

"Vou may break, you may ruin the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will liang round it still." The wives of "our countiy's defend ers," who fought nobly, losing life and limb in the struggle, represent largely the shop workers who dwell in these pigpens of society. "Receiving compensation which would not support their "bosses" cat, occupying quarters which his dog would survey with scorn and leave immediately, but for which they are chargd menthly almost incredible sums— these delicate females manage to keep from starvation disabled or invalid pat riots.

That "slop-work" does not pay much was long ago discovered, but how little it pays none but. the experienced can imagine. In this connection we propose to give a few instances illustrative of the 'manner in which the sewing girls of Lou' isville are tied down, head and foot, as it were, by heartless men, and forced to receive trifling remunerations for their labor.

In our extensive book-bimleries, where numerous girls are employed, the wages paid for their offensive work range from four to eight dollars per week.

Good dress-makers are paid a respectable salary, for the trade commands a fair remuneration. Sewing-machine operators, by incessant labor, may earn seven, some, perhaps, ten dollars per week—a woefully insufficient equivalent for the physical exertion. Bat the embroiderers, stooping hour after honr over some dainty piece of work, which one miss-stitch would utterly disfigure, are not worth (in the employer's judgnwntf mote than five dollars, per., walk. Iftihr of the swiftest fancy workers are enabled to make that sum, and none, it is stated upon relia^le authority,

Take first tho3e who, from one cause or another, are compelled to sew in the miserable places they call "home" Very many of them have near relatives to support, it being a startling truth that among lifenuiifeer thus stitching day after day, very few have bnly themselves to maintain. It does not appear possible, perhaps, to the casual readef/ that more than one person can subsist on seventy-five cents per day. A poor-German woman living on Market street, says she cannot earn more than that sum, and ont of it has to maintain an invalid husband, herself .and child. Her average fare is brown bread and rye coffee, without milk or sugar, but on Sunday mornings occasionally she buys a little sausage meat or liver, because, she says her husband likes "sich things."

MONKEY HUMOBS.

What a wealth of humor is in the phrase, "A wilderness of monkeys! What endless fun, what fteah comedy, What brilliant farce, what iafinitj bft bjplay and private jesting, quite beyodd the reach of our most popular comedians, is being forever enictea in those leafy theatres where they hold their untiring revels! How little are they dependent on the stimulna of & aympatneUc Midience, how free from the vulgarity of playing at the gallery, how careless about splitting the eaw ofthe groundings, how careful'always to hold the mirror up to nature and to man! Hamlet could have given them ho advice thai would have, been of service. On the contrary they would have been spoiled by being "sicklied o'er with the: pale .cart of thought"—a metaphysical aionkey, maonr ing over his barren philosophy, would sit in dismal discord with the surrounding fun. Even in captivity the merry race cultivate the drama.

One holiday last summer we witnessed, in the monkey-house in the Regent's Park, a piece, the serious cast of which wa«, on Shakspearean principles, relieved by passages of lighter matter. Perched on their poles, engaged in mutual friendly investigation, or swinging airily on ropes the community was anasually quiet, while a female monkey, not the least of whose attractions was a roseate flush which spread itself over part of her elso rnssetgray person, was engaged in deep flirtation with a cavalier whose nether-monkev was of a tender green, shading into gold. The impassioned Romeo, chattering voluble protestations, followed the coy but loquacious Juliet, while that

pelted him in retiring with orangepeel, nut-shells, and straws, till th6p arrived beneath a branch along whicl lay extended another monkey, who watched the pair attentively.

Shortly after, we beheld, in a neighboring cage, a monkey, of a dark attenuated figure, clinging with hands and feet like a gigantic hairy spider, to the wire roof, apparently absorbed in meditation,' while his tail hang perpendicularly down to the length of about a yard. The appendage offered irresistble attractions to a friend upon a neighboring rope, who,, after long earnestly surveying it as he swung, reachedit in one wild leap, and, gasping it with hands, proceeded to use it as the vehicle of an animated gymnastic per formance. The sage above, nowise discomposed, slowly turned his head, and after a patronizing glance at the pending acrobat, resumed the thread of his meditations. Possibly this was intended as a practical illustration of the feat known to logicians as jumping at a conclusion." -uvr
