the name of Welch, accompanied by
one named Kelly, went into the fruit
store of Mr.. Zanoga, at the corner of
King and Society streets, ostensibly
for the purpose of purchasing some

formed, told his companion that he
bad some business with Mr.. Zanoga's s
clerk, young colored man named
Edward Dickson, and asked him to
retire. Kelly did so. and walked out
|of the store with Mr.. Zanoga. A
few minutes afterwards the cry of
''murder" was heard, and Mr.. Zano-
|ga, running into the store, found
Dickson lying upon the floor, with
his throat cut. The policeman in
the vicinity was called and went for

English and American Women.

DIR. Holland, e. Timothy Titcomb y
writes from England to the Springfield
Republican,:
Il confess to n little disapnointment
III the Englishman physically. No
American passing through the streets
of London, would imagine that he was
among people superior, physically to
his own. l speak only of the men,
The English woman is larger aud strong

superiority of the Englishman to the
American. * have the au-
thority of a competent and candid Eng
lish woman tor the statement that the
American woman is the handsOmer. -
There can be no question, | thiuk, that
the average American girl is more beau
tiful than her cousin across the water.
She has greater dellcacy Of feature, and
general & finer makeup. She natures
earlier, and it is quite likely, fades soon
er, but the fact that she is prettier is
not to be disputed. The girl here is
also under the usages Of English society
suppressed creature, without the free
dom OF viTacity. The American girl is
perfectly at home i'll society before the
English girl sees society at all, or has
ever been PERMITTED to escape the eye
OF her governess or her mother.
"The American girl may be much too
forward, but l am sure that the Eng
lish girl suffers too great bondage. Fe-
male education in the two countries diff
ters geatly, and, singular as it may
seem the education Of the English girl
is more snowy than that of the American
That in the education of the English
girl, which strikes an American, is their
knowlege of language, of literature, of
music and of drawing. Everything
which contributes to show in society
is acquired by the English girl. l can
not recall among my English travelling
acquaintances lady who could not
speak French and several of them have
spoken French, Italian and German with
entire facility. With these languages
at command, with wide acquaintance
with history and bellies tsttres, and with
the accomplishments of sketching and
playing the piano 1t must be acknowl-
edged that the English girl shows for
all that she is, and that for social purpo-
ses her acquisitions are greatly superior
to those of the American girl"

w Without 1t the seas would be impure and

The little grain of salt, at which we

Chinese House Servants.

Speaking of the longing of hopeful
ChcagOans for the advent of Cinnamon
to do heusework, which has been men
toned III our news columns as one of
the milennial prospects opened up by
the Pacific Railroad. we are reminded
of the wellauthenticated fact that John
Chinaman has proved to be the coming
man for the house keepers Of California.
He will do the kitchen work promptly
and without grumbling. In fact, he
never worries with your complaints,
discussions or impertinence. He cannot
talk English, except in tho smallest and
most necessary way. He understands
you almost by instinct, no matter how
different may be your requirements of
him from anything to which he has been
accustomed. He will do the washing
and ironing neatly, perform all the mis-
cellaneous family sewing, and put in
any little job of general utility with
the utmost pleasure. He would rather
do it than not. lie does not cars to be
idle. He is not easily tired and Is yeIy
seldom sick.
John is the model house-serYant. He
believes in mans rights, and in his ca
pacity to do any indoor work as well rs
woman. Ho is dexterous with his
fingers and quick on the toe. He is
content with moderate wages. Living
costs little or nothing in China, where
$500 in gold would be to man of the
humber class an independent fortune
for life. a FIVE dollar gold piece slowed
away as surplus earnings will make his
face shine with happiness all the year
round.
This Is according TO the testimony we
have received, and which we verify be-
liere We therefore sympathise with
the Chicageans who long for the COM
pletion Of the Pacific Railroad, and the
appearance of almond-eyes and pigtails
in the household Bridget will mourn
over the decline of her ascendency; but
she has domineered long enough. She
mast take on lower tone, or else give
way. Let us have the shortest route TO
Chicago hurried through. The quicker
the domestic john Chinaman gets here
the better.

LIME AROUND AppLE-TREEs.-The

LIME AROUND APPLE-TREEs.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
"W We have known some farmers to
make regular practice for succession
OF years to THROW caustic lime around
their apple-trees in the spring and sum-
mer. w esonce noticed that tree stand
ing In the Immediate vicinity had all at
once put forth with renewed energy, and
we were at Il loss for some time to define
the cause. On examination we found
that quantity of lime, which had acci-
dentally been spilled and rendered worth
less by becoming mixed with the refuse
Oh the stable floor, had been thrown at
the foot and ar. und the tree, and to this,
a. the principal cause, We immediately
accredited the reviviscence and renewed
fructification of the tree.
Taking the hint from the incident. we
purchased twelve casks of lime, and ap-
piled half bushel to each of the trees In
our orchard, AID found that it produced
immediately beneficial effects. Not the
health OF the trees only, but the quality
OF the fruit also was greatly improved.
This application Will be especially bene-
ticlal III soils where there is redundancy

our farmers in some places, especially in
new forest lands recently cleared, and on
low lands, to make trial of this expert
ment, and see whether it is not deserv-

secures"
