“Aladdin.” The Bowery Theatre invites {ts patrons to see “The Golden Farmer,”’ a piece peldom played in New York nowadays; and at ‘Wood's three performances are announced— the burlesque of “The Barber of Seville” in ‘the morning, “Ixion” in the afternoon and “The Flying Dutchman’ in the evening. ‘Then there is to be @ grand operatic conoert ~ by the Italian opera company at the Academy of Musio in the evening, and minstrelsy, of course, tempts to mirth and laughter. The Theatre Comique, the San Francisco Min- ptrela, Bryant’s Opera House, White's Atho- neum, Tony Pastor’s and the Circus in Four- feenth street, all present programmes intended to tickle the cachinnatory muscles and force the loud laugh which speaks a mind as free from care as from thought. Thanksgiving per- formances have come to be recognized as part pf the day’s amusements. With a list like this to choose from no one will have reason not to be thankful, for here is something for every taste, ‘The Buffalo Migration and Its Mean- ing. A Kansas telegram of the 25th inst. brought ‘the intelligence, by no means unimportant or unmeaning, that the construction train on the Atchison and Santa Fé Railroad had just encountered an immense buffalo migra- tion. Its track was covered with the moving troop, which is stated to have extended over ® belt of country ten miles long and two miles ‘wide. The habits of the buffalo have long ‘been tho study of climatologists, and the sin- gular phenomenon of their annual Winter removal to the higher latitudes of the Conti- ment has suggested the existence of warmer retreats on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains north of the forty-third parallel than any the sagacioug animal can find further south. Mr. Blodget, the first and highest au- thority on American climatology, tells us fhat “buffaloes are far more abundant on. the northerp plains than on the plains whioh stretch from the Platte River ‘gouthward, and they remain through the Winter at their extreme border, taking shelter in the belts of woodland on the upper Athabasca and Peace Rivers.’’ It is clearly understood now that the Pacific coasts of this Continent bear a marked climatic corre- spondence with the western coast of Europe and tho British Islands. The former, bathed by the warm waters of the Pacific current, known ‘as the Japan stream, and swept by the vapor- laden winds of the Great Western Ocean, are under tho same atmospheric and thermometric influences experienced in the western countries of the Old World, so that we find the Winters of Norfolk, Va., transferred to Puget’s Sound, and those of Washington almost as far north as Sitka (latitude fifty-seven degrees north). The resulting physical phenomenon is very noticeable in the remarkable “mild Winter belt’? which extends along the eastern base ‘of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, and thas received its title from geographers because when the plains of Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri are covered ‘with snow so as to deprive the wild cattle of subsistence, the buffalo finds abundant pas- dure on the bunch grasses of this wild belt. Tho fact, so often commented upon, that the Winters of Fort Laramie, in Wyoming, are Yess rigorous than those of St. Louis—sd much further south and so much less elevated above the sea—and also the early opening of Spring on the plains of the Columbia River and in the Upper Missouri, are all explicable by the same general phenomena which we have de- scribed. “The early exodus of the buflulo herds | towards the higher latitudes of the Continent in British Columbia and the valleys of the Saskatchewas and Athabaska would betoken on early, and, as far as their keen instincts | can forewarn, an excessively severe and snowy ‘Winter along the Platte and the region south- | ward. If we may juige from the character- istio wis.1om of the old Monarch of the Plains, the preeeat prognostics are too reliable to be | disregarded. Even while we write the tele- gtaph announces intense cold advancing over tho plains of Dacota and Minnesota, with ther- mometers eight degrees below zero. Our Indians—Report of the Commis- | sioner, The Indian Commissioner in his annual | report to the Secretary of the Interior enters into a long defence of the government policy | towards the red m He opens by attempt- ing to forestall criticism by admitting that the | peace policy was not altogether a brilliant | success. In some things a certain amount of | inconsistency is allowed to exist, as in the treatment of the peaceable and hostile tribes. While the latter are pampered and petted the good red man is left to eke out a miserable existence as best he can. The advantage of | remaining ‘wild’’ must be very evident to | the unsophisticated savage; and while the only | prospect held out to Lo in reward for his becoming a member of some respectable ysalm-singing community is short rations and | hard work, we think the noble red man is likely to profer searing Uncle Sam into gen- | erosity by practising a little scalp-lifting. This programme is peculiarly suited to the | aboriginal instincts, and allows the noble | savage to combine profit with pleasure. The | weak point of the report is the treatment of the peaceful Indians. The Commissioner | does not seem to have recognized the fact that | the way in which they are neglected reacts on the wild tribes and disinclines them to | abandon their predatory life. We have con- | stantly urged that kindness should always be | used towards the Indian when anything can bo accomplished by it, but we are of opinion that the arm of the government ought to strike more quickly and sharply | than it has been accustomed to do, when | gontle means have failed. The Commissioner, | indeed, takes the same view, and amusingly enough tries to defend the government from the attacks of those papers which blamed the harshness and severity of Grant's Indian policy. We suppose that this is intended as a sly joke, for the good Commissioner must have used a microscope in making the dis- covery of the opposition to the severe meas- ures adopted against the Indians. What the people want is that ample protection be af- forded to the frontier population, and that the Howardising, which simply encourages the massacte of our pioneer citizens, be at once brought to an end, and that the pious General shall be translated to a bishopric.

His policy will do more ina year to civilize the red man than could be effected by a century of the Quaker peace humbug, at which the wily savages only laugh, The Edict Against the Slave Trade in Chi We published yesterday a very curious and characteristic edict of the Chinese government against the coolie traffic, or slave trade, in China. There seems to be an awakening all over the world against man holding his fellow man as property, whatever may be his color, black, white, yellow or brown. Nations and mankind generally had become so de- moralized by slavery, which has existed in one form or another throughout all history, that even where abolished by law people have evaded the law and given some other name to the same thing. The cupidity of man has proved stronger than governments or public sentiment. But now a crusade has been com- menced in earnest in every part of the civil- ized or semi-civilized world against slavery and the slave traffic, under whatever deceptive name they may flourish. The coolie trade in and with China for supplying the colonies of Spain and Portugal, Peru and other coun- tries, with forced labor has resulted in one of the most atrocious and horrible forms of slavery. The Governor General of Kwang- tung, China, has found it necessary to issue a proclamation denouncing the ‘vagabonds’’ who decoy and kidnap people for the purpose of sale to go toa foreign land, a thing com- monly known as “pig selling,”’ and to warn the people against those who decoy the simple to slavery and destruction. Quaint as the language of this Chinese edict is, no protest of the most eloquent anti-slavery orator could bo more forcible or more to the purpose. We hope this action of Governor General Jui may have the desired effect.

Wasninaton, Nov. 27, 1872. Information of the most positive character has been received in this city to the effect that, in consequence of the disturbed condition of political affairs in France, the German Minister of War has issued strict orders to the proprie- tors of all German ships leaving harbors on the coast of that country, to at once inorease the rates of fare to emigrants going to any foreign country, in order that Germany may lose none of her soldiers and be fully PREPARED FOR A MILITARY FRANCE or other adjoining nations. This action of Bismarck is regarded as highly significant, as Baron Schlozer, the German Minister Resi- dent at Washington, has just received advices from the home government which prompt him to take immediate steps to acquaint President Grant with the occasion of Germany's prohibi- tion of emigration. It appears that our diplo- matic agents abroad have severely criticised the course of Emperor William, and in reply the German Minister of War states that it is A MEASURE OF SELF-PROTECTION solely, asthe greatest excitement now exists in France over the tumult in the National As- sembly and President Thiers’ expected resig- nation. The German government, therefore, feels that it has no surety of peace. It is be- lieved 4 REVOLUTION IN FRANCE I8 IMMINENT, and that in the event of another outbreak the Austrian forces will side with those of France. The German troops having evacuated a great portion of French territory, and a large amount of the war indemnity remaining un- paid, it is feared the French will again take to the field. It is in consequence of this antici- pation that Emperor William has taken this step, and not for the purpose of injuring American commerce or enterprise, as is sup- posed by many citizens of the United States at Berlin. THE GERMAN MINISTER ON THE SITUATION. This afternoon one of the resident Minis- ters here called on Baron Schlozer at his in- vitation, and substantially the following inter- view took place :— “As a movement for political protection, Baron,’’ said the caller, ‘‘or a military scheme to prevent a surprise on the part of France, do you regard this step of your government as a wise one?” “That is a difficult question to answer,” re- plied the Minister ; “I am informed that it is THE DISTURBED CONDITION OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS in France that has caused our War Minister to issue this order.”’ *Do you regard a war between Germany and France as possible ?’’ “Ido, The greatest confusion exists be- tween the Right and Left Centres of the Na- tional Assembly at Versailles, and in all prob- ability President Thiers will tender his resig- nation. Should he do so, in my opinion AN UPRISING WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE, and the cry of ‘Revenge upon Germany!’ would pervade all France. The Prussian troops having evacuated a great portion of the frontier territory, we have no assurance for the continuance of peace or the payment of the war indemnity.” “Do you think the payment of the war in- demnity will be an incentive to France?" “I do,” said Baron Schlozer; “but their principal object will be ‘THE RECOVERY OF ALSACE AND LORRAINE.” “Speaking of a coalition between France and Austria,” said the caller, ‘‘is there any renson to suppose that Austria is dissatisfied with the course of Bismarck and Emperor William?” “Austria may not be dissatisfied,” was the answer, ‘but I hardly think that that affair of Schleswig-Holstein is sottled. In case of another European war Austria would proba« bly side against Germany." “Have you any official information that your government apprehends teouble?’* *T havo,” SURPRISE FROM “How long has this state of things been going on?” ‘Since the beginning of the present session of the National Assembly at Paris.'’ The interview here terminated and Baron Schlozer’s caller withdrew. The Baron is un- derstood to anticipate SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS ABROAD, and the information he has received has set the whole diplomatic corps of Washington on edge.

BROOKLYN, Nov, 23, 1872, To THR Eniroe oF THe HERALD:— Tnotice ina recent issue you call Arkansas the “Bloody State."’ In quite another sense than the one in which readers take this meaning phrase is Arkansas a “bloody State.” It probably has some of the “beat blood” of the North. pouring into it in the form of emigration, Arkansas —_ was originally setuled by the sons of planters of the South, with a mixture from all parts of the Union, the F..F. V.'s included, of course. Like all new States, such as California, Texas, Colorado, &c., the bowie knife and Judge Lynch ruled society, This ts all past now, and, excepting some trivial disturbances incident to election, Arkansas to-day is quite up to Missouri and far ahead of the seaboard Southern States in law and order. From an intimate acquaintance with Arkansas, the character of her rulers, and a more intimate acquaintance with the efforts made for public im- provement in schools, railways, manufactures, settlement of lands and the full development of the resources of the State, Lassure your readers that Arkansas will not stand behind her sisters, now that the elections have settled all the disturb- ing, seen of society in the Southwest. hio is to the West a gateway. So ia Arkansas to the Southwest, Scott's and MarshallO, Roberts’ Sor ner Pactite projects must pass across Arkangad, And as there is really no road bed prac- ticable save the one from Little Rock to Helena from the Missouri ling to the Gulf, the very centre of the State must receive this project to the Pacific. All that great ‘Texas trade in cheap beef must pass through Arkansas, In our opinion, Mexico will be ours at no distant day, and Arkansas at that time will be situated at the ‘very centre of this great Republic. The debt of Arkan- sas—I mean that only on which she ‘pay terest, and she has always paid her interes! only $2,800,000 in round numbers. We take this from Treasurer Page's communication in July last on the State debt of Arkansas. wey: Massachusetts owes $30,000,000, and nobody questions her integrity financially. The cotton lands of Arkansas alone are worth more for pro- ductiveness than the whole of New England, if we speak of the not profits possible on {ull de- velopment of her resources, agriculturally. Time has proved that the bloodiest States have always turned out best in the end. California was eminently a bloody State. Everyboay knows what Pike's Peak, in Colorado, and ‘especially Denver, was. G. 1, I. (Gone to Texas) was once a slur, and yet Texas bids lair to stand tirst yet. Kentucky, in Galonet Srockest's was biood inois had an un- enviable notoriety {n that regard; and even Massa- chusetts, when she whipped the Baptists and hut witches, was bloody.

The affairs of the House of Refuge of this county have again been investigated by the Grand Jury, and that body will to-morrow publish an elaborate report of their examination. They call attention to various defects in the law under which that institution was organized, advise radical changes in it, and recommend a thorough re-modelling of the present system of treatment of the inmates, which permits harsh punishment for trivial offences, and which, in their judgment, has an opposite effect to that which shoul prevail in a reformatory institution, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. AGerman named George Fritz, a resident of Newark, attempted suicide yestorday afternoon by opening a vein in hia arm with a razor, The would- be self-murderer was fortunately discovered a few moments after committing the deed and removed to St. Michael's Hospital, where he lies in a pre- carious condition, Fritz has @ wife and nine chil- dren residing in Rahway, N. J. MISCELLANEOUS FOREIGN ITEMS, A slight difficulty exists between Servia and ‘Turkey, which, according to a German paper, has threatened to produce au open rupture. The town of Zoorink, on the frontier of Turkey and Servia, although belonging ks doubt to the latter country, is still occupied by a Turkish garrison. The removal of the garrison was promised as tar back as 1867 by Ali Pasha, then Grand Vizier to Prince Michael, who had gone to Constantinople to settle the matter. Notwithstanding this promise the Turkish garrison still remains in Zoorink. The Servian government have lately taken up the ques- tion with ee energy. According to the Vienna correspondent of the Karlsriher Zeitung they have gone so far as to threaten the non-payment of Ser- via’s annual tribute in case their wishes be not complied with. “I would be sorry to have to fetch the tribute,’’ is the energetic reply which the Ger- man journal puts in the mouth of the Grand Vizier, Simultaneously with the exciting constitutional conflict in the most important kingdom of the Ger- manic Confederation, a struggle, no less exciting | in its own way, has been going on in a less prom- nent member of the German family. The Prince of Lippe-Detmold has been placed by his subjects in a most awkward position. Provisions are made for overning the country constitutionally. Lippe- Betmold, like larger States, hasa Parliament to which somewhat important functions are assigned. But, unfortunately, the inhabitants will have naught to do with the Parliament. In one district no representatives are elected; the representa- tives elected will not attend, and so the Kaiser, when he goes to open Parliament, finds nothing but empty benches before him. Under these pain- ful circumstances he has applied to his royal cousin of Prussia for assistance, and in response the Em- peror has sent an able administrator in the person of Minister Flotwell. Thus reinforced, the Prince bids deflance to his recalcitrant subjects. A few days ago he published a proclamation, in which, after enumerating the sins of his subjects, he de- clared that in fature he would govern without any Parliament and on his own responsibility, NIPPED BETWEEN ICE FLORs.—The Polynia, one of the Dundee fleet of whalers which has just re- turned, had @ narrow escape of Cape Searle on the 20th of July. As the Polynia was steaming along a lane of water between two large floes of ice the latter suddenly came together, squeezing the ship between them, breaking the propeller guiaes, displacing the pro- | peller, splitting tie after sternpost, and doing co) siderable damage to the ship’s quarters and ren- dering her entirely powerless, The ice on the weather side was about eighteen feet in thickness, while that on the lee side was about six or seven feet. The ship was soon after thrown over until her masts formed an angle of about forty-five degrees with the surface of the water and began to leak considerably, when the pumps | were immediately set to work, while other men were employed in Latah the boats and their clothes from the ship, as it was expected that when tne pressure ot ice would take off she would sink, At noon the pressure took off, when the steamship Erik steamed down, took the Polynia in tow, and her men came on to the ice to assist the Polynia’s men in ae their boats, cloth- ck to the ship. ie Erik then towed Polynia several miles until clear water was reached, wnen the propeller was fixed on with chain, and other temporary repairs were pe: formed, and in this crippled condition the Polynia prosecuted the remainder of her voyage.—Dundee Advertiser. Tas GrowrH oF LiveRPoor.—If Liverpool con- tinues to lucrease as a port at its present rate it will soon be the largest in the world, and there can be little doubt that this will be the case, for the growth of American commerce and population means also the increase of every ies of com- mercial activity in Liverpool. The very large scheme of dock extension which will probably be decided upon soon, has at interest for others than the owners of ships who trade to and from the Mersey. It is a question whether application shall be made to Pa nent to carry out all of three plans for the enlargement of the docks, or whether one, and if only one, then which, of the schemes & that are known in Liverpool as the north, east and south extensions, All three vail have ultimate! to be adopted, for | the increase of shipping making use.of the docks ig at present 230,000 tons per annum, With this.very. considerable annual increase, and a gross revenue whieh last year amounted to-more than one ruiliion sterling, with enlarged accommodation bringing. larger receipts, the Liverpool Dock Beard are clearly in a position to undertake quite as large an extension of their dock system as is desired.
