I recollect how only a tew years u5u Chinese salesman in the China tea company's store, on Baltimore street, was quite i curiosity, and how I sometimes stopped and gazed at the celestial and pined for a Bight of hia country. My wish has been gratified, and I have Leen disappointed. During my stay in this port I have noticed almost all novelties and Curiosities. With a friend and Mr. Henry Corion, a resident merchant, who is very partial to Americans, and was kind enough to indulge our inguisitiveness, we drove out into the surrounding country, viewed the fine panoramic scenery, beheld tbe numerous mounds, or grave pits, of the unfortu

Emaciated to a frightful degree, .they ay there all unconscious and indifferent, their ivis fixed in a vacant stare, the stamp of death upon their features; a day or less would end their existence . We were cow about 1 a4" J" th" place, and my friend ssld be felt as II he wanted to go out. I felt much the earn but, having been informed that o-day was

The eight-of a criminal chained to an upright stanchion that supported the beams overhead at the entrance to the corridor, along which are several cells with strong wooden doors and curious Chinese locks, was pitiful. He was a recaptured fugitive; was to be taken three times a week to this stanchion, the ground at his feet being strewn with fagged stones, glaa. broken bottles, and on this compelled to walk, probably with no food save what relatives and friends brought him. The glass and bottles, broken fine, did not cut much, but to judge from the painful expression on his squalid features, he must have suffered considerable.

rnanv cases, tnrown into die of starvation or of suffocation by odors arising from numbers of infants that shared the same fate. It seems impossible that such a crime la tolerated only a ihort distance from the representatives of three great powers, but uch a the lamentable fact, and even to-day this Is practiced to an alarming extent The fact is, however, outside tne limits of the resnec.timnit the consuls have no author-
1110 psh.vw. wro ity, and the Chinese government s w tlfully d blind. Another unnatural practice is the sale of their children, which they dj in great J
numbers, to rid themselves or tne care utending their bringing up. Women constitute a purchasable commodity, and 1 was assured that there are regular marts where they are prollered.bought and paid for c. a d. Certainly these doings, facta they are arc hid, as it were, under a bushel. They are not ap parent to a transient visitor, but being acntnri with t.artles well informed, I can
vouch for their sincerity. In tho European settlements the Chinaman has attained a higher social position, conforms in some instances to European customs, and is in many re-pects superior to his bigoted, prejudiced neighbor within the walls. . My friend and I to-day paid a visit to the old Chlncss city. Within the walls can be seen the coadition of the natives, as it was veara ago, before the combined efforts of European and American culture and missionary labors produced any effect upon them. On our way Mr. Corson took us to an opium den in the heart of the American eettlement, and there we beheld the sale and consumption of this drug in full operation. Around the walls of a spacious compartment are arranged benches covered with matting for tbe accommodation ot customers. A small lamp, a piece of wire about a foot in length, and a peculiarly constructed pipe comprises the out fit, and for the sum of five cents you are furnished with these tskine uo the drug, which
is furnished in a small receptacle and is 01 about the color and consistency of molasses, placing It on the end of the small piece of wire, holding it over the lamp, and burning it until about like putty, applying it to the orifice in the pipe and arrangtng the lamp, the flame of which is to consume it, a practiced emoker, who at the same time takes delight in the charm of these preliminary movements, occupies about five minutes, lie requires abouv an equal time to smoke the pipe out. The amount of ouium furnished is generally sufficient for four or five pipefuls. Opium has, by an eminent r rencn physician, been compared with tobacco. he maintaining that it was more agreeable, had a better flavor, and did not affect the throat and tongue like nicotine vapors. But demonstrative tact3 have shown that its effects are fearful. His views are contradicted by the many faces one sees in walking through the streets. And as to a more agreeable moll than tobacco, he had better come and
stand outside this opium shop, as I did, and he would be convinced to tbe contrary. Opiophagi," or opium eaters, are less numerous than opium smokers. Beginning as smokers, and after being long accustomed to the drug, the more depraved and fatal taste is acquired, whose almost inevitable consequences are the constitution shattered and destroyed. There are other such establishment in the American settlement, and as many more in the English and French settlements. . V We scured what is called a jin-ric shay a conveyance I can only describe as an overcrown baby carriage with a coolie harnessed to it. They travel quite rapidly, with
their pigtails, it not wouna asout iueir heads, streaming in your face, or else play in? a tattoo on the man's Hying heels. Thee people are very enduring, and travel at a trot several miles, and with a slight rest go on again, and can continue this all day. I'm afraid some of our great walkers and runners would stand - but a poor chance alongside of a jin-ric-sbay roan. Traversing along tbe 'Band," in Englishtown and through Frenchtown, we halted at the entrance to the Chinese city. We were conscious of our nearness by the stench that emanates from within and impregnates the neighborhood immediately around. For a small recompense a guide was procured, without wnora ft would have been an utter impossibility to find your way among the Ubyrinth of crooked alleys that traverse tbe city in every conoolvahie direction, some describing complete
circles and bringing you back to your starting ilace. when jou imagine! yourself a

any source, and there is no inquiry on speculative account. The present comparatively low prices fall to make that rush for wheat which would have followed a decline a month Mnce. This is attributed to the feverish state
of EnglLsh markets, which must continue to have a depreNslng effect for Rome time. Spot corn was dull, lower aud weak. Orders on the maraet were filled on the basis of 33c, track, for high mixed. Yellow would have brought

wretchedness just wunesseu. i iuuuu friend, who had chosen to examine tbe
more agreeable curiosities, in the restaurant of the Hotel de Colonies, in convention with its genial manager, Mr. Brown, a Biltlmorean of fifteen years ago. It is truly said tlut of the horrible stenches the stench of a dirty Chinese city, wiih its narrow streets,
its inhabitants numoering muujr iuwuuu, is the most disagreeable. Your readers will please note that the few facts and incidents given are from the dark side of Chinese life; they are not all of this one type and class. Although the majority of them may be rightly termed a miserable, superstitious class of people, the minority show to a decidedly better advantage. They comprise merchants, mechanics, servants and followers of all vocations; they dress more tastefully. In fact a Chinaman in good circumstances wears apparel consisting chiefly of silken and other rare materials, his head and cue are always kept in apple pie order, and bis features are of a more refined and agreeable cast. Educated in the different branches of their native langusge, a great number of them have mastered the English and read and
write to perfection, iney are snrewa in business and accumulate wealth rapidly. An illustration of their carelessness and disregard in matters of health was given when last April a fearful tornado or typhoon swept over Canton. In the European settlement not a life was lost. In the native town upwards of 10,000 Chinamen were killed, and for weeks their putrified bodies were allowed to remain upon the streets. The weather hera this summer has been no exception to the preceding; very warm. Four European residents succumbsd in one day,
among them the rortngucse coasu.. Yesterday the remains of ltichard Georte, a seaman on board one ot our ships, the United States steamer Monongahcla, now lying in this harbor, were interred in the cemetery in the Frenc'a settlement. The funeral cortege, consisting of a battalion of his shipmates, a number of them Baltimore youths, and a file of marines, was very im"pressive aud solemn, and, as it wended its tn the hurial eronnd with measured
steps, to the mournful beat of the mullled drum, it drew the marked and reverential attention of all. He departed in a strange land, amongst strangers, far from friends and relatives. May the Lord High Admiral rest his soul. H, w.

the various nlr passages or the head ami respiratory organs, rescuing auu ncaung every irritated spot.

Naal Catarrh. After spending huudreds,of dollars, and cbtalnlng no relief, 1 compounded my Catarrh Hpeelhc ai.d Cold Air Jnhslinv llalm, and wroiiKht u)mii tmseir a womlerlul cure. Now I can speak for hours without difficulty, and can breathe freely In any atmosphere. At the calls of numerous friends I have (riven my cure to the public, and have now thousands of patients in ail parts of the country, and thousands of happy lellow beings whose suffering I have relieved. My cure is certain, thorough and erlect, and is Indorsed by every physician who has examined it. If 1 can relieve my fellow beings as I have been relieved of this loathesome disease, making the possessor at once disgusting to himself and others, 1 shall be satisfied, and feel that I have done my little toward removing the ills of mankind.
