When Professor Aytoun was making
proposals for marriage to his first wife-a
daughter of the celebrated Professor Will
son-the lady reminded him thatit would
be necessary to ask the approval Of her
sire.
"Certainly," said Aytoun: "but as |
m a little difident in speaking to him on
lhis subject, you must just 60 and tell him
my proposals yourself"
The lady proceeded to the library, and
taking her father affcctionately by the
hand, mentioned that Professor Aytoun
lad asked her to become his wife. She
added: "Shall | accept his offer, papa
lie says he is too diAident to name the
subject to you himself"
''Then," said old Christopher, 81 had
better write my reply and pin it to you
back"
He did SO, and the lady returned to the
drawing room. There the anxious suitor
read the answer to his message, which wa.
i'll these words: "With the authors com
pliments."

The administration would not be re-
sponsible for the shameful and guilty con-
duct of Gen. Butterield but for the fact
that his bad character was known to the
whole country at the time of his appoint
ment to the important Office which, through
undeserved leniency, he has been permit
ted to resign. And the administration
would not be responsible for the wretched
failures and blunders of Gen. Sickles as
Minister to Spain but for a similar rea-
son. Sickles had, at the time of his ap-
pointment, as bad a notoriety as any man
in the States. The administration has
been INSCRIPTIONS in its appointments,
and, in every crime and blunder of its Of
ice-holders, should read its OWN condem-
nation.

Saving Cabbage.

We know of no better way to preserve
cabbage through the winter than that
which we have recommended for a num-
Der of years. 1t is to plant or set them
up in rows as they grow-that is with the
roots down--fll in with this soil pretty
freely, then make a covering by planting
two posts where there is a fence to rest on,
Or four where there is not, allowing
for a pitch to garry off the watcr; lay
bean-polcs opposite the way Of the pitch
AM cover with corn, fodder or straw. We
have kept our cabbage for more than q
dozen years this way in a perfect state
through winter and into the spring aut
could even up to the first Of May, if doai
rable.

States, therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the sphere of usefulness OF
the Western Wool Association would be
most beneficially increased by such mod
ifications of the Constitution and By
Laws as would admit our Southern
brethren to all the rights and privileges
of the Association now enjoyed by the
Western and Northwestern members.

appreciate the efforts now being made by
Southern manufacturers to cooperate
with us, and shall be most happy to re-
ceive them into membership with US.

WHEREAS, The frequent changes in

create fluctuations and uncertainties

adjusted for mutual justice; therefore
Resolred, That we approve of the
present wool and wooden tariff. and con-
slider any agitation or radical change
injurious and i'll timed.
Resolced, That We are opposed to any
renewal Of what is known as the Canadian
Reciprocity Treaty.
Resolped, That as the interests Of the
wool growers and manufacturers Of the
United States are identical, it is right
and highly proper that they should culti-
waite more friendly relations, and to that
end should attend our EKpositions more
frequently.
Mr.. Stebbins, Of Detroit, also offered
the following, which was adopted:
Resolued, That we rejoice at the un-
expected and varied excellence Of the
work sent from the South and welcome
the presence of visitors from that region,

Kidnapping of Chinese Women for
Prostitution I'm San Francisco.


The Hong Kong Press of June says !:
"Young girls kidnapped up the couu-
try form large proportion among the
women who are sent over to San Fran
cisco to be consigned to life of prosti-
tuition Such a power of coercion is
brought to bear upon them, that in ma
joriiy Of eases they fear to take any
steps to free themselves from their mis-
cradle lot; though many times while
awaiting their departure in Hong Kong,
they resolved to escape from life Of
degradation and crime by self-inhicted
and early death. These luckless girls
are enticed away from the country by
the wiles Of wretched hays, who contrive
to smuggle them off. The favorite plan
appears to be to get them away from the
temples, to which, for the most part, they
90 protected only by one of the servants
in the house to which they belong. This
individual is bribed and the heartless
capture effected. Arrived in Hong
Kong, the unlucky girls discover, after a
short time, how they have been en-
trapped; but they have not any idea Of
how to free themselves. They are in
undated from complaining to their
neighbors, and do not know that they can
obtain protection by complaining to the
police or to the magistrates. Thus.
after short time, they are shipped off,
and it seems that no one is able to pre-
vent the perpetration, in British colo
ny, Of one of the most awful crimes that
it is possible to conceive. II is surely
time that some steps were taken to in
yestigate this matter to the bottom. So
far as is known, it appears that the
emigrants on board the Pacific steamers
always say that they leave of their own
free will. But it is, beyond a doubt,
clear, therefore, that this statement
can only be made under much coercion,
and that there must be some kind of or
gained system at work among the
Chinese, which assist the intimidation OF
the victims
