A late telegram last night brings
us news of the death Of the once famous &C.
tor. George Jameson. lie WAS LEI. ia
nous in his profession than notorious in
connection with the Forrest divorce case.
He il was who was used Is the ,ool-pigeon
in the tremendous effort Of our most ''emi-
nen," traselian to rid himself ofa burden
some spouse. On the trial, it may be re-
membered that letter signed "Consue'o"
the name Of festive character in one Of
the novels Of George Sand--wss used in
evidence against Mrs. Forrest. 1t indicated
that the writer and herself had known the
JOYS of criminal acquaintance. and the
writer was proved to be George Jameson.
The unearthing Of this document, or rather
the manner in which it was brought TO
light, was one Of the immortal feathers that
sdorn the cap Of the Radical Forney. 1t
was Forney, who knowing poor Jsmisson's
weakness, got him drunk, and in that state
extracted from him confession that he had
fractured the seventh commandment in
company with Mrs. Forrest. aad that he
was the author OF that fatal letter. There
is little doubt tina, what Jameson said in
connection with the matter was merely the
wild, uncertain driveling of a man under
the influence Of liquor. 1t is not probable
that woman like Mrs. Forrest would have
"gone to market for one so much older
than herself and not personally attractive,
while Young and handsome Of safer reticencc
were plentiful. Yet George Jameson car
res the dis ,rcdit OF this world known liason
TO his grave. lie must have been near six.
ty when he died last night, run over by the
express train going north. near Yonkers.
His last appearance in this city as an actor
was, we think, at the Olympic Theater.
lie played second old men and character
parts. lie was the original Pete, the an.
Gent African in 1.-THE 0ctoroon, Boucic-
ault writing up the part especially to suit
him. Personally a whole.souled, genial
fellow, there is no one who knew him that
will not shed a tear over the record Of his
sad untimely dea,h.-NeW York Mercury

CHINESE. SLAVERY IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Tho San Francisco Bulletin has the
following in this connection "Ano-
Their instance of the name in which
certain classes of Cinnamon maintain n
system Of slavery hero has just beon
brought TO tho attention Of the Courts.
Some time since a Chinese actor Of this
city named All Quang returned to his
own country, and just before his depar-
ture on tho last steamer from Hongkong
for this city ho became acquainted with
n married woman whose husband was
in this State. All Quapg told hor no
was we'll acquainted with her husband
in this city, and offered to act ms hor
protector on the voyage and to assist
her till she should find her husband.
She paid her own passage on the steamer
and came here. Arrived in this city,
All Qunng said ho never knew her hus-
band, and tried to induce her to 60 into
q house Of ill-fame. This she declined
to do. He then imprisoned her and
placed her in the keeping Of m old
Chinawomau, who threatened her, and
finally boat her most brutally, trying to
obligo her to accept All Quang's wish.
She held out strongly against the old
creature, but was kept in a room all the
time. Recently a Chinaman came down
from Oregon who wished to obtain a
Chinawoman to assist his wife. Tic met
All Quang, who il Is stated sold the
captive oma to him for $500, and mr.
engagements wero made for her to 60 on
the steamer to Oregon. When tho factl
were made known to her she refused
absolutely to go with the man who had
purchased her, and by some means got
information of hor condition to one Of
the Chinese companies. A warrant was
o issued for the arrest of Alb Quang.
Tho woman was found shut mp In a close
room and badly bruised about the faco
aud head. All Quang was arrested and
is in Jail, and his intended victim Is In
the care Of the police. It is time for
the authorities Of the State and city to
put an effectual check on such atrocious
practices.

Tho Astors-How They MANAGE Their

Tho AAtor1-thoN .aol
Buslncss.
Tho New York correspondent Of tue
Boston Journal tells how the living
Astors are managing nUd increasing
their great fortune The Astors VIII
probably hold their property for many
generations to come. William b. was
trained by his father to tho style OF
business which had gained his fortune
and increased it. Since the death OF
John Jacob Aston tho business has been
continued in tho same style that marked
it before. he died. William b. Astor'
has two sons, John Jacob and William
b., Jr. They have been carefully
trained to the same style Of business
that distinguished tho father aud grand
father. In the little one-story brick
building on Prince street, looking like
a small jail with tho iron bars ia front,
the father and two sons can DO seeh
daily taking care Of the immense estate.
Tho sons are quiet and reticent like their
father. No bank clerk goes to his BUSH
ness moro steadily than they do. At
given hour in the morning they enter
their office At q given hour, arm in
arm, they walk down Broadway to Wall
street. Between two and three they
can be seen returning from their down
town Office. They are seldom separate.
They are capable, Industrious, econom-
ical, and pre-emincntly devoted to BUSH
ness. Should their father die Tomorrow,
everything would be taken up just where
10 left it, and all his plans would be
carried out, nor would any change be
made in the mode ofdoing things during
their lifetime. Tho utmost care was
taken of their uncle, John Jacob, who
died the other day. Every wish Of his
father in regard to him was sc%rupulons-
ly carried out. His fine residence on
fourteenth street, with its garden, occu-
pyiug q whole square, with his coacLos
and horses, wore preserved to him to tho
last. It is rare that three generations
of men exhibit such characteristics.
Thrown into Offices, its commanding
situation would make tho Astor House
a source Of revenue such rs it n never
become as q hotel. But the wishes Of
its founder, though dead, still prevail,
and a hotel it will be, probably, during
tho lifetime Of its present owner.
