Our Chinese country is the oldest nation ia the world. In the ancient times we had many' sages to teach the people. But there is one holy man very popular in China." His name is Confucius. I believe many nations have heard his name. The sages', some of them, teach very good doctrine. I believe God sent his servants to teach men to be good and to know How to J worship him. In early times our Chinese people worshipped one true God. In that time our country enjoyed fleace and prosperity. I am very sorry that nearly two thousand years' ago we had one Emper-or- , who one night had a dream. He saw a holy man torn ia the western part of China; next morning he ascended to his throne. All the' priaccs came together and bowed before him; and he told them about the dream; und talking about it a little while he got the idea of esttohnd sendiag a minister to the out the hoiy man." Hut the minister went to a part of Hindoostan, and unfortunately received false doctrine and brought it back to China. At that time ihe Emperor and people worshipped images. Iu this way iu our; country, year by year, the people's miuds became dark.j .They learned to worship all kinds of images, and 'of the people some are ' ' If the American come,how can men did not call us to our Do we come? nese people have wings to fly, to come here?

I think it very strange if a man sends his carriage to call his friends to come to his house, and afterwards his heart changesand finding his friend a mistake, try to drive him out. Do you think that man has a good heart? No, uukind and impolitic. We come to this country because American men call us to come; now American men try to drive us to go back to China. If American men will prepare the passage and steamboats or ships to take the Chinese home, we will very gladly prepare and wait to go. No use to talk that the Chinese are bad so and so. I know oar Chinese. Some are very wicked. You cannot say that all are. I saw the same in the States also. If you are good men and righteous, why not follow the steps of Jesus the great teacher. You must follow the holy men's steps and teach the bad people to become good. If you are Christian men you may follow your Lord Jesus and do your duty. I think God will bless you and make you very glad. God is our common father. All people are brothers. You cap not say the Chinese are not your brothers. The old brothers may teach the young brothers. The Christian may teach the heathen. If we are united in one heart to keep God's commaudiuent3 and to keep our Lord Jesus Christ's new commandment "to love one another," I believe we all may meet together in heaven.

Greenewald, Esq , one of the proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, had been shot near his own house. The facts, substantially as they occurred, are these: One Untzbaum, an old man who has been employed by Malsh & Greenewald to herd their stock, came into town yesterday morning, and while there, had some words with his employers, ending iu an angry altercation and a personal which Untzbaum was chasrencontre,-itised by Mr. Greenewald. There the matter ended, when it was supposed that Untzbaum went away to his business as herder, for he was seen no more until six in the afternoon, the time of the shooting. He wus then in the yard adjoining the hotel premises' where he stood evidently in wait, for at the hour named Mr, Greenewald happened out in. the rear of his house, and without hearing threat or alarm, was then shot by his ambushed assailant! from behind a fence. The weapon used by Un zbaum was an eld musket, which at the lime was charged with heavy buckshot, one of which entered-M- r. Greenewald's right cheek, penetrating to the opposite side of the face and farther back. After the shooting Mr. Greenewald walked into the hotel, and immediately, Prs. Graham and McKinney were summoned to his side. These gentleman, we are hap. py to state, are confident of Mr. Greene-wall- 's early recovery, although his escape from instant death was the reverse murderer's intention. of his would-b- e Had that shot struck half an inch higher, it would certainly hve proved fatal. Mr. Greenewald rested well a portion of the night, but is suffering much pain from his injury Untzbaum was arrested immediately after tiring the musket, by Captain who turned him over to the Ci'y Marshal, an 4 he is now in jail to await such disposition us the laws may suggest Corinnt lie-- , for that class of criminals. porter. ! to-d-ay.

We traveled in small parties according to inclination or circumstances, until we arrived at Windsor Castle, which is a stone fort, erected by the Church for herd purposes, but is now owned, I belitve, Stock by the St. George Company, and is not named, as some might suppose.in honor of a British royal residence, but. simply bears the name of the warden thereof; which, in my opinion, is just as appropriate.
