SELLING CELESTIALS. A Chinese Stare Mart In San Francisco. Nineteen Chinese lVomen Sold at Pnblic Auction. Correspondence of the Xew York "World. San Francisco, August 27. The Great Republic (steamer) from Hong Kong, arrived at this port yester day, bringing but few passengers, viz.: 103 men and nineteen women. When the steamer was telegraphed it seemed as though the entire Chinese popula tion had turned out to greet her, prom inent among them being the lately ar rested members of the Hip Yee Tung. Inquiry as to the cause of this great turnout led to the revelation that there were nineteen women oa board. I hastened to the mail steamers wharf, where I found several police officers, who had been sent there by the chief with full power and instruction to ar rest every Chinaman who was on. board of the steamer. As soon as the lines were made fast the officers boarded her and called the names of the unfortu nates, who then were placed in close carriages and conveyed to the City Hall. There they were taken into the Probate Court room, where the Chinese interpreter, Kev. Dr. Gibson, of the Chinese Mission, a native Chinese Mis sionary, two police ollicers, and your correspondent had preceded them. The hallways and vestibules were crowded with members of the Hip Yee Tong, who attempted to enter the room, but were prevented from so doing. Your readers can gain but a feeble idea of these females from a pen description. Some were stout, some lean-, some blooming with health, while cther3 were apparently in the last stages of consumption, old, young, and ugly though three or four, from a Celestial standpoint, would be, and doubtless w'cre, considered beauties. The object for which these Mongolian women had been arrested will become clear after the following conversrtiou, carried on between the missionary and one of the women, is read, the reply in each" anjl every case being literally translated: Missionary. You came from China to this country on the steamer which arrived here to-day, did you not? "Woman. You know that I did. Why do. you ask? For what rare we arrested ? M. Were you examined by the Com missioner in Hong Kong before corn- W. Yes; both in Hong Kong and previous thereto in Canton. M. Who paid your way to this coun try? W. Why. I paid some and this old woman the rest. She bought me in Canton. M. Bought you? How could you pass if she bought you ? W. I owe her the remainder, and will soon repay her. M. What did you come here for? Are you married? W Yes, I am married. I came to join my husband, who is somewhere in this country. M. Did you not come over as a pros titute, and do you not know you are telling a falsehood when you say you are married, or that the other girls are? W. Xo ; Ave are nearly all married. Those who are not intend to seek for some employment. We have been prostitutes, but intend to reform. M You say you are married. What is your husband's name? W. I do not know his name. (Xone of the women knew their husband's M. Where does he live ? W. How should I know? M. Well, suppose you do not find him, what will you do? W. Work until I do. I can cook and may perhaps find another husband. M. If you do not desire to lead the life of a prostitute, but are truly in search of work or are married, you need not go with this old woman, but will be placed in care of officers. Which will do? W. We choose to go with the Chi nese woman. Further inquiries revealed that of the women, five were twenty-one years of age, four were twenty-two, two were twenty-three, four were twenty five, one was twenty-seven, one twenty eight, one thirty-two, and 1 sixty-eight. Being beyond the reach of our Infant act, they were discharged after receiv ing a caution not to pay the tax to the Hip Yee Tong, and the following no tice from the Chief of Police, viz: "You have each been offered a good home and protection if you desired it, Lut have voluntary chosen an evil life. You have doubtless been told how to answer ; but remember that if any of you are caught in houses of prostitu tion hereafter, you will be punished to the full extent of the law." The doors were then opened, and they Avere per mitted to leave. Desirous of seeing the sequel to this social drama, I fol lowed the crowd and noted the house where the girls vrent (for unless I was greatly deceived seA'eral among them were in their teens), and then sought Ah Chin Suey, my old comprador, lie requested me to wait until 10 o'clock, and said: "Him waitee dark;'bimeby dark come; him Hip Yee Tong man sell him public auction. You go with me; can catch good see; him no see you." I waited, and at the hour nanied was stowed away in a room of a Chi nese house on Bartlett alley. I have ofteen seen negro slaves sold in the Southern States, have seen Turks at a slave m;irt in Constantinople, Arabs in Alexandria, at an auction of eunuchs and Eastern jockeys at a horse sale, but never in my experience as a jour nalist ha3 it been my lot to witness such a scene as I did last night. Each woman was brought in by herself in a state of absolute nudity, after passing in review before the entire multitude was put up for sale to the highest bid der. The prices opened low, and gradu ally increased until the hammer dropped. The prices realized ranged from 6250 to 6425. Sick and disgusted I left with my compraior and found out, still further that, that just after the women had been housed in the mart or slave corral, that two leading members of the Hip Yee Tong received 349 a piece for them, making $765, and that they received 10 per cen. of the purchase money, which, with the head money, reached nearly $1,500. Tho woman question gave me a. chance to further my pursuit of knowl edge as" to the social and political economy of Chinese life, and I made the best use of the opportunity went with Chin Suey to the meeting-room, where I had often before been, and found an indignant crowd of mer chants. They had been scandalized. outraged and stigmatized by a crowd of their countrymen lost to shame and honor. I was, however, greeted cor dially and my questions freely an sweretL The result of my interview wa3 as follows : Correspondent. I noticed that your people have again imported women, despite all promises. President. We know it to our sor row, but intend to stop it, if it can be done. We have been scandalized long enough, and will use harsh measures if -hall other remedies fail. C. What will j'ou do at present in regard thereto ? P. We will send a written remon strance to the head men of each sea port by next steamer, and if, after a sufficient time has expred, they still continue to come, we Avill send a peti tion to the Emperor to interfere. C. Your Avornen are too much con fined in China and too much kept un der subjection to become otherwise than mere tools. Do you not think that if they wore thought moro of that they would be better off and the pres ent trouble cease ? Why also not give over buying and selling women? P. Our true Chinese women . are small-footed, and from their inability to Avalk with ease are seldom seen upon the Chinese streets. You Avill find our Avornen here have more freedom than they have at home. But it is more than Ave can as yet see, the placing of women on an equality . Avith men. They would want to rule, and then would ensue riot and ruin. The sale of AA'omen is a matter only for our Avise men to talk of, and they are uoay trying to abolish it in China. C. In a former conA'ersation in re gard to education I told j-ou I might need more information. I notice that your old men show as much politeness to the young as the young ones to the old.- P. Yes ; Confucius teaches us that "Politeness is an indispensable accom plishment and virtue." In all of our native schools in China the rules of etiquette are as regularly taught as is grammar in j our schools. C. I suppose the forms and ceremo nies of office are taught by parents? P. Xo; there you are mistaken; a student learns during his examination all the necessary forms and ceremonies of A-arious offices, and the correct knowledge of the same is indispensable to a successful examination. C. You remarked some time ago that Ave make frequent changes in offi cers. Are your Mandarins named for life? P. Xo, Sir; our Government takes care that no man shall Avield undue in fluence nor be partial. To prevent this no man can hold an office in the proA'ince of which he is a native, his term in each province is for three years, Avhen he is sent to some place, and so every three years. C. With whom then does the re sponsibility of error in local goA'ern ment lay ? P. In local, country or imperial management in China that highest official is responsible for the one below him. A ruler of any province is held responsible for any accidents or fires occurring in his listriet, or fr any m jury to the subjects or property of the Emperor. C. And the punishment t P. The defender is degraded from his rank to seA'eral grades beloAA He loses some of his buttons if not his head. C. Do you think many, if any of the Chinese merchants Avill return to China? P. If you ask each one, you Avill find that lowing tasted the SAveets of this country they have no desire to re turn. Incidentally during my intervieAv I discovered fiom others than the Presi dent that the people who soAved rice were being shown the difference be tAveen the old way of husking rice by Land and the neAV by machines, and would ultimately adopt the latter method; that the proposed railroad from Shanghai to a point fourteen miles in the interior, was looked upon favorably, and would result in great good every way to their countrymen at home, and it will be one of the ways for the introduction of a new civilization in China, the results of which it fa dif ficult to foresee. Wm. II. Seward, on the 29th of July, 1852, in his speech be fore the United States Senate on the "Commerce of the Pacific," foretold the present events in prophetic tones when he said : "While the Pacific Ocean, its shores, its islands, and the vast region beyond, will become the great threater of events in the world's great here after." That we may be unable to solve the Chinese question in all its bearings from an- American stand point is not to be wondered at ; yet the "Heathen Chinee" i3 rapidly undertak ing to solve the question, "Shall we give up our exclusiveness?" China's step is slow and steady ; she is sowing seeds for her future translation from ignorance and hate to civilization and progress ; her wise men are busily en gaged in the translation of foreign sci entific works into the Chinese language, and all the modern theories of naviga tion are being studied, while her peo ple are daily becoming more and more enlightened. While we of this country are in danger of "Caesarian," China is rapidly on the highway to "republican urn." I. Id. K. THE STATE FAIR. Continued, From the Journal.

Henderson (Kentucky) P.ieK We have in our .possession a letter written by Henry Clay just after his dtud Avith Humphrey ' Marshall. The document Avas written before the days of our convenient modern envelopes, and bears upon its back the following address: ''Samuel G. Hopkins or James Clarke, Esq, Frankfou," Samuel G. Hopkins Avas a brother, of the late Miss Mary B. Hopkins of this city, among whose papers the letter was found one day last week, James Clarke, Esq, was Governor of Kentucky a feAv years after the letter was Avritten. Here it is: tx . - - :ii- -i t t n "Dr. Clarke: "I have this moment retrmed from the field of battle, aa e had three shots. On the first I grazed him just above the navel he missed me. On the second my damned pistol snapped, and he missed ine. On the third I re ceived a flesh Avound in the thigh, aud owing to my receiving his first fire, &c, I missed him. "My Avound is m no Avay serious, as the bone i3 unhurt, but prudence will require me to remain here some days. 1IEXKY CLAY'. FASHION STUD FAKH BURNED. Two of President Grant's Horses Itaru ed to DeaMi. Tp.entox, X. J, Sept. 4. This morning at about eleven o'clock a carpenter employed on the Fashion Stud Farm, near Trenton, observed smoke coming from the cupola of one of the stables, and at once gave the alarm. A messenger was despatched in hot haste to the city, a couple of miles distant, and Avithin twenty min utes the City Hall bell rang out the signal for the hastening of the engines in an easterly direction, Avhere by this time black volumes of smoke could be seen rolling up against the sky. SeA eral of the engines, putting their hors es to a dead run, reached the place in a very short time, but altogether too late to do any ood. The stables Avere made of dry pine, finished in style which rendered them as combustible a3 tinder, and within ten minutes of the first appearance of smoke they Avere a mass of roaring flame, doomed beyond all hope. There were at this time nineteen horses in the stable, and the alarmed keepers at once turned all their energies toward saving them. As is always me case, the steeds became panic-stricken, and fought like tigers against every effort to get them out of danger. The keeper of Harry B. it may be said literally forced the noble fellow twice in suc cession out or tne siaujc. Avnen ne plunged back again into the smoke and flame. A third time the keeper groped through the suffocating vapor, and rec ognized the terrified animal by the sense of touch only. He managed to g't him once more across the threshold when the poor creature dropied dead. The beautiful mare Rosabel fought as desperately against her friends, but they saved her unharmed in 'spite of herself, although she lost $300 worth of clothing. The keepers, numbering over a dozen, worked like heroes tu rescue the noble creatures under their charge. These men made their home in the handsome stables, aud in the upper iortion all of their Avordly ef- j fects Avere turning to ashes, and ye they let them burn AA-hile they kept tip j the desperate struggle with the horM s 1 below. Charles Cochran, the keeper of j Goldsmith Maid, had $3,070 in his J trunk in rrreenbacks. The trunk and ! eA'erything in it Avithin half an hour was impalpable dust, and his own arms, legs rind nose Avere terribly burned in his efforts to keep the horses from pushing into the blazing furnace. Among the nineteen horses in the stable these men succeeded in forcing Out and keeping out eleven; including the well-known Rosalind, Goldsmith Maid, Hotspur, Susie Parker, Lucy, and aci amen to (a fine trotter bclo ag ing in California). All thtse Avere saved entirely unharmed. Those that were burned to death Avero "Harry B." owned by Budd Doble; and valued at $1,000 (he was sever. years old and has trotted a mile with ease in 2:35); W. C. Hutchinson's bay stallion Young Windsor, live years old worth $3,000; President Grant's three year old. Cinderella and Blackshaw Maid, worth together 10,000; L:i Pierre, a black horse, seven years old. who bad trotted a mile in 2:33, and Avas valued at $5,000 (he Avas owned by J. B. Butlerworth, of the La Pierre House, Philadelphia, Avho also lost a fine bay horse Avorth $2,500) ; Xcd Per ry's bay mare Lizzie Ferry, worth $4. 000, and a lino black horse owned in Bethlehem. Pa. The "other property destroyed in cludes fourteen sulkies, worth $123 apiece; five track wagons, Avorth $300; three road Avagons, Avorth $yoo ; twenty sets of harness, Avorth $2,000, besides seven tons of hay, six tons of straAv; buo bushels of oats, and a larjro numlxT of saddles, blankets, .c. The total value of the property burned, including horses, isalittlo short of $100,000. Fashion Stud Farm is one of the most noted breeding and training establish ments of the country, and is in full vieAV of travelers passing between Xcav York and Philadelphia. The tract in cludes, 113 acre, belonging to the banker, XT. Xr. Smith, 73 Broadway, Avhd purchased it ia March. 1873, of tliO Xcav Jersey agricultural society, paying $81,000 therefor. The building cost $10,000, and is insured for $10,000 only; The origin of tho fire is uncertain. One of tho theories is th.it it was '.ft on fire by the sparks of a passing loco motive; but this seems hardly proba ble Avhen it is borne in mind that the stable stands 200 yards from the rail road, and the Aind at the time the flames appeared Avas blowing in pre cisely tho opposite direction. Many believe that it Avas the Avork of an in cendiary, A.hile it is by no means im possible that it resulted from tlie care lessness of some of the employes them selves. There have been a large iium 1 i' of very valuable horses at the i!;x for more than a Aear past, the-rei b' iMover 100 at present. It was un der the charge cf William Doble, avIhV AViis telegraphed for at Philadelphia,' iui'l reached the place in the afternoon to-ii'-.d l!i;'t about all the property s:tvi'd ;is summed up in a couple of w:i-oi;s and sulkies. N. Y. World. .. . A 1ARINU RESCUE. Ihw a Tennessee Woman FrerI Her Husband. Memphis. Turn, Sept. 7. Some ten days since quite an excite ment Avas created in the eastern .sub urbs, by the arrest of J. E. White, a prominent citizen, on a charge of horse stealing, and within a few days no less than a dozen specific charges for similar offenses Avere made public, lie Avas remanded to jail Avithout bail. This afternoon his Avife called to see him, and spent half an hour with him. Shortly after she again made her ap pearance at the gate and asked to be admitted and Avhen the guard opened the gate White presented a cocked re volA'er at his head and said: "Let me out or die." Tho guard sprung back and White, darting out, mounted a horse in Avaiting and diished off before the alarm could be given. Pursuit warf instituted early as possible, but up to dark he had not been recaptured. Hi wife had carried the revolver envelop ed in her panicr and had the horse ii: Avaiting. She Avas arrested. The origin of the vagrant Avords for fine girl, "Mullingar heifer," is too good to be left untold : Many years ago a traA'eler, passing through Mullingar, Avas struck with the thick ankles of the Avornen, and made inquiry about the local peculiarity. "May I ask," said he to a strapping girl, "if you wear hay in your shoes V' "Faith an' I do," replied the damsel, "and what then Y "Oh, nothing," added the stranger; "only that accounts for the calves of your legs coming down to fodder." Hew to Manage an unuianuirMc Horse V From the Commercial Advertiser. A beautiful and high spirited horse would never allow a shoe to be put or. his feet or 'any person to handle his feet In an attempt to shoe such a horse re cently, he resisted all efforts, kicked aside everything but an anvil, and av;1.: near killing himself against that, ar.d finally was brought back to his stable unshod. This defect Avas just on the eve of consifr!i!:.g him to the ploAV, sc h might work barefoot, a; hen an offi ce: in ourfcrvice, lately returned from Mexico, took a cord about the size of a c i ajem bedcord, put it in the mouth of the horse like a Mt, ana ilea uou the aniiral's head, passing his left ear vnder the- string, not painfully, tight, ' I't tight enough to keep the eat down and r!.e cord in place.
