THE Chinese question il settled. A
Negro Senator, In South Gqroiina, re-
Gently told q large assembly of his
constituents (blacks): ssThe' white
people say they are going to bring
coolies and white emigrants to this
country. But this country is ours
we've got the legislature and we won't
allow it--and we won't. We'n put
the white man ten feet underground,
and as to the coolies we'll put them
twenty feet" This is about the short
est solution of the Chinese question
we have yet heard. How zcensiderate
that the white man should be- buried
ten feet aboFe the oqolie, and only ten
feet below the nigger. ','a..fs

sTINoNY OF PROF. BARRows.
HUDsoN, O., July "a, 1869.

HUDSON, O., July "a, 1869.
Mr.. VAIN: have examined your
Gas Machine, and find that it secures
an uniformly low temperature about
the gas and liquid, and rapidity of
manufacture of gas which prevents
the necessity of storing up large guam
titles of it on the premises. AS. light
oils are essentially dangerous, some
liability to accident must attend care
less handling to any machine. It
seems to me that your combinations
reduce the danger to a minimum, and
I should expect no accident from your
machine, while properly used.
Yours truly,
- A. e. BARRows,
Prof, of Physics, W.rR. College.

SLIGHTLY ON THE CoNFIDENcE,-On
Wednesday afternoon of last week,
young man from neighboring town
called at the shoe store of Mr.. Suth-
erlaad, and falsely representing him
self as brother of the Messrs. Knapp,
Of CharlestoWn, desired to purchase
three pairs of ladies CATERS, promis-
ing to return them If they did not fit,
and if they did to pay for them in q
few days. Mr.. S., knowing the
Messrs. Knapps to be responsible men.
and supposing the young man was
truthful, trusted him with the shoes.
Instead of taking the shoes home, he
went directly to the elething store of
Mr.. Kahn, where he tried to pawn
them for pair of pants and vest, al
leging that. he had procured them at
Messrs. Gillis s. Lindsey's, who had
refused to exchange them when he
had ascertained that they did not suit,
He informed Mr.. Kahn that he was
goiAg immetliateiy to Alliance, and
would petHrn the next morning and
redeem them. Mr., x, mistrusting
that aIf was not right, refused to let
him have tho goods. He then went to
the shop Of George MuaFoe, where he
told the same story as to where he obs
tanned the shoes, and sold them to
him for four dollars. After he had
gone, Mr.. NJ, having his suspicious
aroused, went to the store of Messps.
Gillis g. Lindsey, and finding that the
shoes had not been obtained there, he
stepped in to Mr.. Sutherland's, who
at once recognized his property. They
went for the young man, and brought
bin in He at first denied having any
money, but when the Sheriff was CALI
ed in, the rascal came doWH,' and di-
rected Mr.. sMhnroe to pull OFF his
boot, which being done, the money
was found snugly stored away there
In. Mr., Southerland having regained
his property, epd Mr.. Munpe his
money, the fellow was allowed TO de.
part without further molestation.--
There is law for such offenders, and
they ought to be visited with its Sc.

The Bears and the Boys.

A Man in Cleveland the other day, .
So the daily newspapers say, %"
Had two dancing bears on the street,
Keeping time to his music with graceful feet :;
He kept them dancing in pleasant weather,
Safely and strongly chained together;
They gathered crowd of men and boys,
Who made cheerful sort of noise;
But some folks thought they disturbed the
peace,
SO they vent and called the Cleveland Police;
So they danced along
With indignation,
And music and song
To the Police Station;
And one man after another declares
That he considers them dangerous Bears;
For bears will bite if they get chance,
Even if they have been trained to dance;s
the bear-man all the evidence heard,
Saying all the while never a word;
Till he gave a whistle and said 'out boys
And then in the Court was jolly noise;
For a healthy boy from each Bears skin,
Stepped out of the place in which he had been.
Those folks were sold, and the weather's too
hot we may safely declare. for anybody either
here or there, to rig boys in the skin of the
Bear. So between the two, we Know what we
will do, We will ask them all to hurry and call,
