An Excitement Among the Orientals.

A very curious scene occurred recently in
California, caused by the arrival of a large
shipment of Chinese women. Every
Chinaman considered himself entitled to
wife, and determinedto obtain her at what
ever cost. When the steamer was coming
up the harbor the news spread like wildfire
through the Chinese quarter, and at once
crowds of their people started for the land
ing. Every possible means of conveyance
was in demand. The heightened mer-
chants and head men, who were determined
to prevent their country women from fall
ing into the hands of their brethren of a
lower caste, provided themselves with
passes to the dock, and went in hacks and
on the street cars; while hundreds of
women with umbrellas spread over their
heads crowded into express and baggage
wagons, and the regular 'pirates, or san
pans, as they are called in China, hurried
to the place on foot. At least 800 China
men had assembled before the steamboat
come in sight. As soon as the officers
commenced landing the women from the
steerage the excitement became intense,
and it required large force to prevent
them from breaking down the gates. All
the boats in the vicinity were engaged at
high prices by the parties to be rowed to
the side of the steamer, hoping by that
means to get access to the women it requir-
ed strong measures to prevent their board
ing the vessel. After the boats were en-
gagged, terrible fight commenced. as to
who should occupy them, and many who
had paid their passage were thrust back
into the crowd, and their place taken by
one who did not scruple to take sail at
another's expense. While this confusion
outside was going on, the women were land
ed, to the number of 100, and placed in
half dozen rows. The examination by
the Custom House officers (most of them
young mem was exceedingly interesting.
Large quantities of opium were discovered
ON their persons, slowed away in different
places. When the search was completed,
they were slowed away in large express
wagons and conveyed to such places as the
merchants and head men directed. An
officer was placed in front, two on each
side and one behind each wagon, each
armed with a heavy club, to bear off any
love-smitten Oriental who might try to
board it.

1.-The following poem, by T. b. Read,
is one of the most beautiful of its kind to
be found in the English language. The
poet has succeeded, not only in clothing his
language in all the soft voluptuous beauty
of the tropics, but has caught and retained
in his lines, the dreamy ecstacy of his Ely
sian revery, enjoyed as only one can enjoy
the sudden trasition
"From lands of snow to lands of SUM-"
The poem is a favorite with elocutionists,
and no other selection affords such rich and
sparkling play for the readers powers j
Drifting.
My soul to-day
Is far away,
Sailing the Nesuvian Bay:
My winged boat
\ bird atioat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote:-
Round purple peaks
1t sails, and seeks
Blue inlets and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw,
Through deeps below,
4 duplicated golden glow.
Far vague and dim,
The mountains swim;
While ON Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands
The gray smoke stands
O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles
Ger liquid miles;
And wonder bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits,
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates.

My ripping skiff
Float swift or slow from cliff to cliff -
With dreamful eyes
My spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradise.
Under the walls
Where swells and falls
The bays deep breast at intervals
At peace lie.
Blown softly by,
\ cloud upon this liquid sky.
The day, so mild,
Is heavens own child,
With earth and ocean reconciled;-
The airs | feel
Around me steal
Are murmuring to the murmurirg keel.
Over the rail
My hand trail
Within the shadow of the sail.
A joy intense,
The cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy Incidence.
With dreamful eyes
My spirit lies
Where Summer sings and never dies
O'erveiled with vines.
She glows and shines
Among her future oil and wines.
Her children hid
The cliffs amid,
Are gambolling with the gambolling kid;
Or down the walls,
With tipsy calls,
Laugh on the rock like waterfalls.
The fishers child,
With tresses wild,
Unto the smooth, bright sand bcguiled,
With glowing lips
Sings as she skips,
Or gazes at the far-off ships.
Yon deep bark goes
Where Traffic blows,
From lands of sun to lands of SHOWS
This happier one,
Its course is run
From lands of SHOWS to lands of sun.

To rise and dip,
With the blue crystal at your lip!
