A Cloud in the Future.

The English reformers who strive to pu.
down mendicancy have lately found, 10 their
horror and amazement, that for dreadful
deprasity the rapidly increasing Chinese
population Of London goes infinitely beyond
the worst ever ascertsine1 in the worst Con-
tlnental wretches. All tbe vices OF all anti
guilty, and Of all the East seem to have con
tinued and centered in the Central Kingdom
until evil passions and an extraordinary in
genuity have almost resolved crime into
new elements. Shocked beyond measure nj
discoveries which they have made, Mr.. Yard
ley, and others come forth and appeal to the
population Of London not to give aims 10
such wretches-of which some hundreds,
the very refuse of Shanghai, Canton, and
Hong Kong, are rapidly introducing into
the worst element OF London life deeper
depth Of corruption.
This is not particular agreeable subject
to touch on, bat il 10 one which is destined
beyond all doubt TO prove fraught with very
serious trouble TO the next generation no
power on earth can prevent the Chinese
from spreading-political trouble at home
and slave hunting abroad are pro.iding for
this every day-they are already going
forth by thousands Of their own accord
and as no race in the world is SO impassiyo
to moral teaching, it will be seen that they
are destined to work mischief Woe to
those of Cuba who by encouraging the Coo.
lie traffic, introduce an element which may
have the most terrible effects on their child
ren. They have nursed the worin-what
will they think when it turns to be the

Cause Of the War of 1912.

The manner in which pig caused the
war Of 1912, was as follows:
Two citizens of Providence, r. l., both Of
the Federal school of politics, chanced to
quarrel They were neighbors, and one Of
them owned a pig which had an inveterate
propensity to perambulate in the garden of
the other. The owner of the garden COM
planned that his neighbours piggery was in
sufficient 10 restrain the pig, and the neigh
Dor insisted that the garden fences were not
in good repair. One morning, as the pig
was taking his usual ramose, he was sur
prised in the very act of roofing up some
valuable bulbOus roots; this was the fes-
ther," and the owner OF the garden instant
ly put the pig to death wit. a pitchfork.
At the coming election, tn owner of the
garden was candidate for the legislature,
and his neighbor, who, but for the quarrel
would have voted for him, voted for the
democratic candidate, who was elected by
mai ,rity of one At the election of the u.
S. Senator, a democrat was chosen by ma
jority of one; ana when the question of
war with England was before the Senate, it
was declared by a majority Of only one. IL
may be question, however, whether il was
thespig or the ,pitchfork, or the federalist
who used the pitchfork that caused the war.
Probably, if the federalist had been as jea.
Gus of the national rights as these two were
of their individual rights, the majority IN
favor of giving the sharp end Of the pitch
fork to the British pig which "rooted" in
Uncle Som's garden, would have been much
larger.

An Example of Perseverance.

The following is a most remarkable and
praise-worthy instance OF what perseverance,
and industry rightly directed, are able to
effect.
Among the graduating class at the last
commencement at " iliams College, was one
by the maine of Condit, from New Jersey.
The gentleman is shoemaker, married. and
has family Of four children. Six wears
ago, becoming sensible of the blessings of an
education, he commenced learning the sim
pie branches, such as are taught in our pri-
mary schools. One by one, he mastered
grammar, arithmetic. geography, &c, with
some occasional assistance from his fellow
workmen. At this tne he determined 10
obtain q collegiate education. Withou,
means, and with large family depending
on him for support, he commenced and
learned Latin and Greek, in the evenings ac
ter his days work was over, under the iirec-
ton of a friend, and after the lapse of a wear
and half, prepared himself and entered the
Sophomore class At Williams College,.
he brought his bench and his tools, and
his books with him. The student supplied
him with work the faculty assisted him:
and with the fund for INDECENT students,
and some occasional assistance from other
sources, he was enabled to 20 through the
college course, and at the same time support
his family. He graduated on his birth day,
aged thirty-two. lie stood high in his class,
and received part at Commencement, but
declined. At the farewell meeting of the
class, in consideration Of his perseverance,,
talents, and Christian character, they pre-
sented him with an elegant set of silver
spoons, tea and table, each handsomely en-.
graved with an appropriate inscription.
Mr.ICondit will now enter the Theological
Seminary at New York, and will, no doubt,
make faithful and popular minister.

ever, after such an example as this, despair

An Eastern TyTant.

Women have no names in Cairo. They
OF course have the names at home, but nc
man knows the name of his neighbor's wife
| or wives. A woman is spoken Of as the
wife of such a person, or the sister of such
person, but never by her own name
The daughter of Mchemet ALL the sister
of the present Viceroy, is the first lady in
Egypt. j. ..,........
Her history is almost romance. This is
not the place to speak Of the private incl
dents in it which have long made her to be
spoken Of with contempt even by the Egyp-
tians, the vilest race of men on earth. But
her husbands name is still a terror in Cairo,
and men will hardly believe that he is dead.
The Defterdar, as he is always called, was
the son-inlaw Of Mehemet Ali, aud the re-
alization of all the stories Of Turkish bru-
tality and tyranny. His palace is in front
of the Esbekish, but since his death has
passed into other hands.
He it was who heard the complaint of a
poor woman that man had drank mill from
her measure and then refused to pay her.
The man denied it entirely.
When was il ?" demanded the Defterdar.
"This moment"
"Well, now, woman, listen-I will rip
this man open. II find the milk in him
it is well-yOu shall be paid. If not, will
rip you opep in the same way"
1t was done instantly on the floor Of his
room by his men, he and the woman looking
complacently. The milk was found in the
mans stomach, and the Defterdar ordered
the value of the milk-ten paras, or about
one cent-to the woman.
L. onother instance, tax collector had
levied on poor woman's COW, her sole pos
far 4f he oE
Mehemet Ali. The COW was worth two
hundred piastres. The tax was forty. The
collector took the COW sent for butcher.
made him kill the COW, and cut it into ten
pieces, and then sent for ten men and forced
them to take and pay for the pieces six pias-
tres each. 1t was chesp meat but they
would not have touched it except under
force.
The woman complained to the Defterlar,
that her COW worth TWO hundred piastres,
had been in this manner sold for sixty, and
by the oppression of the collector she was
lett destitute. The defterdar sent boat to
the village, and brought all the parties and
witnesses to his palace.
1t was clear case of oppression.
How dare you kill tina; woman's cow
said he to the butcher.
II was afraid Of the collector lie made
me do it'
DO then, what tell you. Xii that
mar, the collector, and cut him IN ten piec-
es :"
1t wa. done on the spot, and every man /
who had the beef at six piastres was made |
10 buy piece of the collector at twenty,
and SO the poor woman had the value Of the
cow.
These instances are both on the side Of
justice-but others, countless stories Of mis-
cruelties are told, which are perfectly reli
able.
His horse was badly shod so that nail |
Dricked his foot, not an uncommon occur I
-ence with the best Of blacksmiths. But 4
he went to the shop, and had a hot shoe I
nailed on the foot of the smith. These and
'ther similar accounts may be relied upon.
Every one in Cairo knew a hundred such.

A BIG PAIR OF Boors.--The Philadelphia
North American saw in the Penitentiary Of
that city 750 pairs of Boots made for plan
tation in Mississippi. They were OF due
proportion, with one exception, for which a
paper diagram Of the sole was sent as a
guide to the maker. The boots when finish
ed were l9a inches long, Of across the sole,
and ~ inches wide at the heel. The pair
weighed just pounds. The boots were
made for negro slave Of gigantic proper
tons sort of deputy overseer on the plan
tation for which the boots were ordered.
Beside them the other foot gear, although
by no means small, appeared fairy-lke in
proportion. We were assured, says the
American that these enormous boots were
of precisely the proper size, and that the
sable individual for whom they were made
is negro Of foppish tastes, who plumes
himself upon delicate and closely fitting un-

An Ohio paper says that after the failure
of Mr. Frazer Of Chilicothe, liabilities about
10000 his hands, numbering about two
hundred armed with all sorts of warlike i'm
plements, held possession of the entire es-
tablishlnent, during four days after the fail
ure, refusing to admit officer or private in
side the high board fence which surround the
premises. On the fourth day the civil au-
thorities, finding it impossible to gain ad-
mission to the building without bloodshed,
paid each hand bis wages Mr.. Frazer did
q very commendable act in telling his work
men to keep forcible possession until they
xere paid.

An IMPovER OF SPARE TIME-At politi.
cal meeting in Pike Comfy, Pa, while the
committee were out writing resolutions, a
sturdy old farmer rose and addressed the
chair.
"Mr. President, mout say a word?" he
asked
"The meeting will be proud to hear from
you, Mr.. Subsoil."
"Well, Mr.. President, endurin of the time
the committees out, couldn't you tell US all
hew you've bedded your 'tatersf'
There was great laugh at Subsoil's ex-
pense, but his question involved matter
of far more practical importance than such
as often come before political meetings.

TIMELY HINr.-A good looking fellow was
arraigned before the Police Court, charged
with having stolen watch.
The Judge asked him what induced him
to commit the theft.
The young man replied, that, having been
unwell for some time, the doctor advised
him to take something, which he had &C.
cordingly done.
The Judge asked him what led him to Sc
lect watch.
"Why," said the prisoner, +" thought if
only had the time, that nature would effect

DUNBFoUNpERING.-Am man Of unblemished
character was q candidate for large con-
stituency, and the following means were
used to get rid Of him: At large public
meeting, an elector got up and said:

ask that candidate question. Will he an
swer me Yes or No, like an honest MANI"
Undoubtedly l will"
A most incautious promise as the reader
will guess.
"Well them" said the elector, 81 ask the
gentleman, ,cho killed his Washernoman?"
What was the poor man to say? What
yes or no could answer the question? He
hesitated, he stammered-the meeting was
against him he was hustled out of the
room, and to this day he labors under the
grave imputation in many peoples minds
Of having feloniously accelerated the death
of some unfortunate and ill-used washer
woman.

The subjoined is translated from Leipsic
" Joe Miller work entitled "Who Will
Believe 1, ?" The very tall and somewhat
short-sighted Count X, on journey, had
to sleep with a much shorter man in the
double bed of country inn. Waking up
soon after daybreak, he found his short
friend drawn far down into the bed by his
side, and saw pair of feet hanging out over
the foot-board. He walked the snoring short
man, and said:
"You will get your death Of cold, my
friend, if you do not draw in your feet"
You are mistaken" was the reply, ''those
are your feet down below there"
Impossible!" said the Count abe so
good however, as to look once more, for at
this distance cannot recognise them"

A western pettifogger, while conducting a

his case was going against him, broke forth
in the following indignant strain -

Deputy HUsBAND.-In Utah they have a
way Of appointing deputy husbands to look
after matters and things when the genuine
article has gone away from home. We find
the following notice of this singular prac-
tice in one of our exchanges:
"When q married man is called by con-
ference to foreign mission, he has the prl-
vilege, as they call it, before leaving home,
of choosing some one to take the oversight
of cattle, goods, and whatever he may pos,
sess, to provide for, overlook the family, and
become pro tempers husband of the wife.
The ostensible reason for the arrangement
is to prevent the husband from suffering
los" during his aosencs on missionary Ia
bors. since the greatness Of his " future
kingdom" depends upon the number Of
children he has here. Carrying the idea,
the wife is handed over to deputy husband
who maiztains his position in the family uH-
I'll the husband again returns"
