How THEY LIvE.-A paper says there
are fifty thousand girls employed in New
York, who average no more than FIVE
dollars a week, and wonders how they
contrive to exist. 1t is true that the
sun named seems a paltry pittance on
which to support a human being, espe-
cially one whom Providence has ordain-
ed a female with all the sex's laundering
after dress and adornment. Yet those
who do EARN Eve dollars every week in
q year are comparatively well off, as the
major portion of working girls do not.
As to how they live; they starve a little,
60 poorly clad, and live in hope of
achieving the welded state, in which
they often ultimately constitute one of
a family Of four or Eve, whose male
provider averages only some twenty
dollars a week, a much smaller sum in
the circumstances than the antemarital
FIVE dollars. Yet Of that sum and even
less many families live decently, though,
Of course, broadcloth, silks and cham
pague are an unheard of luxury. Some
newly arrived smigrant families live on
half the above mentioned amount, and
deposit a sum weekly in the savings
bank; and it is quite possible that a
Oninese family could be supported on
nys dollars in New York, where some
think ten thousand a year essential to
q obtaining of the accessories Of life.

CoyGRrss AND THE PREsIDEYr.-If the
President means by his proclamation
only to place beyond the fear Of trial
and punishment for their crimes, certain
persons in the Southern States formerly
excepted from amnesty, his proclama-
ton will be thought Of little conse-
quence, even by the persons in whose
favor it is drawn.
II however, he means by it to restore
to these persons political privileges
which by their crimes they had forfeit
ed, as his organ, the National Lntsttigen-
Ger, pretends, then it should be regarded
by the persons whom it pretends to
favor, as a dangerous trap ; and it will
strike the general public as a deliberate
attempt by the President to delay and
interrupt the work observation-disclosures
grave and dangerous obstruction of the
laws of Congress.
Even Mr.. johnson admits that Con-
gress can admit or reject members as it
chooses. Now Congress has made GER
tain rules to govern the preliminary
elections in the estates lately in rebel
lion." If these regulations are observ-
ed, it promises to admit members of
Congress from those States. But here
comes the President, and-if the Lnteii-
geneer correctly represents him-tells
the people they need not mind the regu-
la,ion, Of Congress. What follows? If
they suffer themselves to be misled by
the President, is it not plain that they
will be rejected by Congress?
Congress has in its Reconstruction act
clearly laid down the conditions, upon
the ful6llment of which in the Southern
States it will receive Senators and Rep
resentatives from those States. Is it
not plain that Congress will reject per-
sons sent to it under other conditions?

"THr DOCTRINE THAT DOES NOT DAMN"
This was the subject Of a lecture not de.
livered by Professor Connolly at the
school-house, on Friday evening last.
At eight o'clock, the Professor began to
give his audience an account of his
F" marrow escape from the death of
Stephen" in the northern part of the
county recently. During his recital he
was often interrupted by cheers, which,
we are sorry to say, were not fully ap-
preciated by the Professor, as they were
DOT at all times appropos. The clangor
of the bell, which seemed to be rung by
invisible hands also seemed to annoy
the speaker, and at last, with supreme
disgust-leaving Pharaoh in the middle
of the Red Sea, he declared the meeting
adjourned, and left. Next morning the
Professor shook the dust of Downieyille
from his feet and departed-no mar

A SHoDDY PARTY.-One of the citi-
zens of New York was q halter. He
earned II very good living at the busl-
ness. His wife made vests for a fashion
able tailor. She made them very well,
and by her industry added very mnch
to the household. By one of those sud-
den turns of fortune which overtake
men in this city, the man found himself
in possession of quite a sum of money.
He abandoned hating and his wife gave
up making vests. He bought. a house
in an uptown neighborhood. His wife
proposed an entire into good society by
giving a large party. The hating and
tailoring acquaintance were to be ig-
nored. They had no others. These
were to be made through the party.
Had these people understood the way OF
doing things in New York they would
have gone to Brown, of Grace Church,
paid him u handsome fee, aud he would
have stocked their parlors with oil the
company desirable. Instead Of this they
took the directory, selected 500 names,
among whom were some Of the most
prominent of our citizens, and sent their
invitations right and left for an evening
named. No expense was spared to make
the occasion a great one. The house
was gaudily furnished. The ladies,
mother and daughter, extensively and
fasnionably attired. The table was laid
by one of the first caterers. Dod-
worth was engaged for the music.
Walters were called in, dressed. in the
clerical garb of black and white. The
hour came, but not so the guests. In
nothing are she New Workers more skit-
fish than about the acquaintance they
form and the parties they attend. They
will give all they are worth for a ticket
to a ball, party, reception, or for n lcvee
where great folks are to be, but they
will not accept miscellaneous invitas
tons, though there is plenty to eat.
The persons who got up this party were
unknown. Strings of young men drift
ed BY the house during the evening.
Brilliantly lighted, it attracted general
attention. But the bell was silent, and
the steps deserted. The curious could
see anxious persons peering through the
cracks Of the blinds at the passers by,
supposing themselves unobserved. At
a late hour the gas was turned off.
During the whole evening the parlors
had been deserted, the splendid table
untouched, and the family turned to
their couches with feelings better i'm
agiued than described. The candidates
for fashionable society were sadly dis
appointed.-N. Y. Cor. Boston Journal.

Chinese In Now York.

Around the a 81 side Of the City Hall
Park may be daily seen sundry China
men attending cigar stands. Their pig
tails having long since been cut off and
their coarse black hair, hanging stify
down, is cut evenly round their necks
and ears. They no longer yea their
native costume. Of the fifty or sixty
living in this city, two or three only
speak English, and that very imperfect
ly. The rest speak scarcely a dozen
words Of it. They live entirely among
themselves, and hold littN relation with
the surrounding world.
f. Their employments are manufacturing
cigars, keeping cigar stands, and acting
as cooks upon ships. In all they earn
q good subsistence, and being closely
economical, they save money.
They live in the tu%mble-down tene-
ments of Cherry and Baxter streets.
But n among thed, has a Chinese wife.
She is neither young o attractive.
No trace whatever of her former costume
remains. A few are bachelors, and
the rest are married to Irish and
German women. Many of these women
are remarkably pretty, and could have
readily found white partners. Human
beings have an affinity for their physical
opposites, and these pug-nosed and
black-haired Chinese have attracted
wives with classic features and light
hair. Their children consequently are
a passable compromise between the two
in facial structure, and vary but slightly
in complexion from whites.
Neither wives nor husbands under
stand a word Of each others language
beyond the commonest expressions.
though they have lived years together.
An Irish wife was asked how her hus-
band performed his counting. "Ah,
he had English enough for that, sir"
was Biddy's reply.
Tho whole region in which these Chi
nese live is a nursery for thieves and
brutes, miasmatic to the lungs, and
poisonous to every good impulse of the
human soul. There is not q house nor
a human body in it that does not need
the daily stream of Il fre-eugine.-New

JOHN r. RIDGE.
I'VE Knew him in boyhood.

We knew him in boyhood. We were
playmates. His father was Chief of the
Cherokees, but principally on account
of his having married a New England
woman was deposed by the Ross faction.
The. son, whose death has just been
announced, was rent to his mothers
State, to be educated. John was an
apt and brilliant scholar. Though u
recollection of him in his youth is Of
one of the "big boys" we knew and
can we'll remember that he stood first
in his classes He early evinced a
"poetic temperament" and one Of his
poems, written when he could not have
been more than eighteen years of age,
was published in tho New York Evening
Post, under the high commentator Of
no less a poet than William Cullen Bry-
ant. The "boys" delighted to take a
Saturday afternoon trip in the woods,
under Johns leadership; and when they
were far. from the town he would crafty
their demands for the genuine Cherokee
~wsr-whoop. Then he would sit down
on a ~moss-covered knoll, and regale the
crowd Of eager listeners with "Indian
stories" At other times we have been
thrilled by hearing him repeat the story
Of the murder Of his father. A flood Of
boyhood memories crowd in upon US,
as we think of John Ridge. Many, many
a heart will be very sad, in our old
home, when the intelligence Of his death
reaches there.
When we last saw him,-abouta year
since,-he had just returned from Wash
ington, where be had been on a mission
for his tribe. He then spoke of James
Sedgwick, his old schoolmaster, of
whose death he had just been informed,
and said in substance: elf had the
means to live a life Of literary leisure l
should like to spend the balance Of my
years in B,"-where he was educated.
Alas /! he counted upon a balance of
years, when n short year has been
his "bslance" Of life !! He also spoke
of Rev. E. G. Beckwith, now ofOakland,
CAL, who was a schoolmate, and whom
he had a purpose of visiting and inquir-
ing as to the worth Of q trip to tho
Sandwich Islands (where Mr.. Beckwith
was formerly stationed, to a man that
didn't feel well generally" This was
the only hint he gave Of being unwsll,
and certainly he looked as if enjoying
the best Of health.
Ridge has written a large number o
poems and tales from which a volume
could be selected that would be very
acceptable to the public, and would uu-
doubtedly produce q handsome profit
for the benefit Of his wife and child.
We sincerely hope that such a selection
and publication will be made. 1t is not
probable that he saved much money.
He was too recklessly generous to ac-
cumulate or retain wealth.
