St. Paul, its capital, was survey ed in 1345, and as late as the spring 41847 there were but three white families upon the ground now occupied by upwards of 12.- 000 intelligent and industrious citizens.— There are a large number of nourishing towns in the St: te, whose population exceeds 2,000, inid the tide of emigration is flowing thither in a continuous stream. The soil of Minnesota is rich and fertile, the natural ad vantages are unsurpassed, the climate is equable, and the opportunities for in dustry and enterprise are unequalled. The news paper press is established there, and flour ishes with mhos interests in the territory.— , la 1.5.115 there were twenty journals publish el, four of which were dailies. The num ber at this date probably exceeds thirty,— The present white population of the State is not far from 73,000, and there are 40,000 Indians. principally Sioux, who have been removed from Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa to .:ginnesota, and will, probably, be remov ed still further west as Minnesota grows in population. TIIE IRABELLA G aarc.—Gen. J. G. Swift, of Ganeva, in a letter to the Eittiolzal Ldel- Ggenccr, correcting an article recently pub in that paper. gives the following his tory of the Isabella grape: "As to the Isabella, it originated at Goose Creek, near Charleston, S•uuh Carolina, and is a hybrid of the native Fos: and the Bergundy of the 11u genius. Gov. B. Sin it h, ofNurth Caro• him. brought the grape vine to Sutithrilie, is ISO 9, and Mrs. Gibbs took 0 cutting from G iv. Smith's garden to Brooklyn Heights in 1818. In 1819 1 porchm.ed the Gibbs place on Brooklyn (heights, of Geo. Gibbs, E.-1., ! who zitme from Illaden county, North Caro. ' na; Col. Coo. Gibbs was from Newport, Rhode Island. In 1820. from the first well gros•n vine in my garden, I gave eu tting, to Win. Prince, of Flushing., who in compli ment to Mrs. Smith proposed to name the grape, "Louisa." Mr. Smith objected, say ing Mrs Gibbs "Isabella" was more en titled to the name: and thus the name. As to the hybrid character of the plant, the two faces of the leaves shox the upper to be Burgundy and the lower Fos. In 1821 I gave Mr. Skinneruf the Baltimore Farmer. a history of the Isabella, which he publish ed iu that, paper. CUINEEE POLITENESS.—There is a funny account of Chinese manners which will amuse some of our plain republicans. It appears that they practisea politeness which is all talk: "The essence of good manners is in the preference fur others in the smaller affairs of life—in a petty benevolence re duced to rule and enforced by society upon all to supply the want of the reality in many. The rules arc defective in proportion as the civility is barren. Tried by this test, the Chinese are not much in advance of our selves. They give you, says 31. Huc, the most pressing invitations, but it is on con dition that you refuse them. The native Christians of a Roman Catholic station in the north went one saint's day to attend ser ice in a chapel attached to the h-use of a catechist. The service ended, the catechist pressed the whole of the congregation, which was numerous, to stay and dine with him.— Every one replied to his entreaties by an excuse. 'With an air of mortification at the repeated refusals, he nt last caught hold of a cousin, and begged him, by the tics of re lationship, to remain. The cousin pleaded business, and, after a protracted contest of earnest requests and peremptory denials, the catechist proceeded to use force, and endeavored to drag his refractory relation into the house. 'lf,' said be, 'you will rn.t eat rice with me, at least come in and drink a cup of wine.' The cousin consented to this compromise. After sitting long, and no wine appearing, he ventured to inquire when it was likely to be brought in. "Winel wine!' said his astonished host; 'doyen sup pose I have any wino here? and do you: not know that I never drink wine, since it gives me the stomach-ache?' 'Then, why,' re plied his guest, 'did you not let me go, in stead of insisting on my coming iu?' The question threw the catechist into a rage.— He abused his cousin for an ignorant boor, asked him where he had karat manners, and with cutting sarcasm exclaimed, 'What! Ido you the civility to invite you to drink wine, and you have not the courtesy to de cline!'" M. Hue, wi tnessecl the scene.
