 "Mike Dougherty, laborer at Elmwood cemetery, Memphis, was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon by William Stevens. Dougherty was trying to prevent Stevens from shooting MT. Hill, superintendent of the cemetery, when he received the fatal shot. The affair grew out of a refusal to assist in digging $ grave. '-Ass. Press Report Es t1 }&& x tG

Aspirations.

Our aims are all too high; we try
To gain the summit at bound,
When we should reach it step by step,
And climb the ladder round by round.
He who would climb the nights sublime,
Or breathe the purer air Of life,
Must not expect to rest in ease,
But brace himself for toll or strife.
We should not in our blindness seek
To grasp alone for grand and great,
Disdaining every smaller good, .-..
For trifies make the aggregate.
And if cloud should hover Ger
Our weary pathway like pail,
Remember God permits it there, t
And his good purpose reigns o 'er all.
Life should be full of earnest work,
Our hearts undashed by fortunes frown
Let perseverance conquer fate,
And merit seize the victor's crown.
The battle is not to the strong,
The race not always to the feet;
And he who seeks to pluck the stars
Will loose the jewels at his feet.

Chinese Labor.
Report Of Gen. Miles, Of Miss.

Report OF ten. Miles, OF MISS
The Court room Was pretty we'll
filed last evening to hear the ad
dress of Gen. w. r. Miles, who
has just returned from San Fran
cisco, where he went at the in
stance of the Vicksburg Chamber
of Commerce in the interests of
the Chinese immigration scheme.
Gen. Miles entered the stand at
precisely 8 O'Clock, was received
with applause, and spoke as
follows
In the fulfillment of my commits
sion, repaired at once to Califor
MIA, but found that the object of
my mission was well known before
my arrival in California. Travel
ing a distance of more than 5000
miles, / fully expected to find my
self in city whose customs and
people would prove entirely
strange to me, but such was not
the case. On the contrary, /
found in San Francisco many
friends, a number of whom were
old Mississippians, who welcomed
me cordially, and to whom | here
desire to tender my acknowledge
ment for the courtesy SO upiver-
sally shown me. Through the
kindness of the people, and the
intense interest they felt for our
welfare, and every facility was
shown me for the prosecution of
my mission. A steam tug, a train
of cars and every other facility
was extended me. With these
facilities / had the opportunity of
seeing large numbers of Chinese
laborers, as well as Chinese mer-
chants, and American and Euro'
pean merchants who are engaged
in Eastern commerce; many OF
whom had resided for a long time
in China.
In the first place, | gave my at
tention to a close, searching, and
critical examination of the capac,
ity of the Chinaman to perform
labor. He is engaged in Califor
MIA in many different occupations.
| saw him in the warehouse, in the
kitchen, in the diningroom, on the
railroad, in the shot tower, at the
rolling mill, at the smelling fur
mace, and in the WOODEN factories
Everywhere his work is done well
NoiselessIy, silently, quietly, ht
performs the duty assigned him
and with wonderful degree O
adroitness and skill. He is nov
almost the exclusive builder o
railroads on the Pacific slope. He
distances all competition as
washer and ironer. He is an ex
cellpnt cook. He is the best din
ingroom servant in the wOrld.-
The most delicate and beautiful
abric / ever saw, he makes in th'
tive woolen factories at San Fran
cisco. He is a persistent and eff
,,ient laborsr on the farm. He per
