Sharp Practice-A Bogus Ii-
ssitutiOR of Masonry.

William Pearce, an elderly
man, was arraigned before
Mayor Chahoon yesterday
morning for obtaining $3.50
under false pretences. There
was no evidence taken, but
from the statements made to
us by parties concerned it ap-
pears that some time since
Pearce pretending to be vested
with power to do SOY organized
socalled Lodge of Masons
among the colored people. He
raised $3.50 for this object, and
presented a dispensation, pre-
tending that it came from
Washington. The Lodge So
called was duty installed I'M
der Pearce's auspices, and he
commenced comforting degrees
by wholesale.
Something occurred after
some time to attract suspicion
towards Pearce, and inqui-
ries were made at Washington
which led to the discovery of
the fact that the dispensation
was a forged one, and that the
so-called Lodge, after all, was
a sham. The matter at first
was referred to General Brown
who was at that time here with
the Freedmen's Bureau. He
took no definite action, and
the matter rested quietly until
one of Pearce's dupes had him
arrested and brought up. The
Mayor, without hearing any
evidence, continued the case
until the 30th, and Pearce was
committed to Jail Dispatch,
29th.

geography, and also heard the
Chinese sing a hymn in Eng
fish. Messrs. Fitch of Au-
burn, New York, and Tyler, Of
Boston, Massachusetts, made
very interesting addresses.
Ow Shing, Tom Guam, Fung
Tang, Lee Kann and other
prominent Chinese merchants
were present. The fact was
mentioned by these merchants,
with regret, that while in the
British Provinces the Chinese
can testify in courts of justice
and have the full protection of
the laws, in California they
cannot testify and have but a
partial protection, which pre-
vents Chinese capital from COM
ing here. Fung Tang, being
called upon by Mr.. Barstow
without any preparation, rose
and spoke a few words in a
most easy and graceful manner,
az follows :
''Ladies and Gentlemen.-It
gives me a great pleasure to
meet you here to-day, and | am
glad to see the American people
are taking an interest in my
countrymen. We have some
schools here and they have been
great benefit to our young
men ; but [ think we ought to
have more schools here. We
return our thanks for the in
terest taken and continued for
our welfare:''
Fung Tang also spoke a few
words to the Chinese, and said
to them : "We have seen,
now, for ourselves, these Amer
leans wish to do us good. I
would advise you to learn all
you can for your own benefit.
knowledge and virtue go toge-
ther. If we are worthy of the
protection Of law the Americans
will find it out at last, and we
shall have it, There is a great
commerce for both nations, and
it will make us friends if all
are right-minded -

well-timed remarks, in which
he urged the Chinese to show

Yesterday large number of
the Chinese merchants and
strangers from abroad were
present to witness the exercises
at the Chinese Sunday School
of the Howard Presbyterian
Church, conducted by George
Barstow, superintendent, assis-
ted by Cyrus Palmer and N.
D. Hawley. The exercises
consisted Of reading, spelling,
counting and singing. The
school numbers one hundred
and twenty five Chinese, and
has a corps of seventy teachers.
The Chinese all read and write
their own language, and show
themselves very apt scholars in
learning English, sometimes
learning the entire English al
phabet in thirty minutes. They
manifest the greatest eagerness
to learn, and are making rapid
advances. Most of them are
being drilled in the rudiments
of the English language, but
we noted especially one class in

'For my heart beats loud and last,
But surely, in the far, far distance,

sit is only the reapers singing.
As they carry home their sheaves;
And the evening breeze has risen,
And rustles the dying leaves
Listen, there are voices talking
Calmly still she strove to speak,
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling,
And the red flushed in her cheek,
st is only the children playing
Below, now their work is done,
And they laugh that their eyes are
dazzled

AS with anxious eyes she cried,
Down the avenue of chestnuts

1T is only the deer that we're feeding
In the herd on the clover grass;
They were startled and fed to the
thicket
As they saw the reapers pass
Now the night arose in silence,
Birds lay in their leafy nest,
And the deer crouched in the forest,
And the children were at rest;
There was only sound of weeping
From the wat cheers around bed,
But rest to the weary spirit,
Peace to the quiet dead.

CHAPTER XII.

"Dost thou remember that place SO
lovely ?"
A few weeks after the party
was over, Col. Flanders made
a visit to Linwood, Annie being
the magnet which drew him.
Our time was spent pleasantly,
and though she had learned it
was an extreme possibility for
a seige to be made on her affec-
tons, after LIT. Neal had proved
so false-yet | found that a
CLEAN of moonshine had began
to creep in through some crevice
she had neglected to plaster
discovery / received a letter
from Rosey misunderstanding
me of the expected marriage of
Pinkey, with a pressing invita-
ton from the whole family to
visit them at that time. And
as I was already expecting to
start for Williamvale, hearing
through Elsie that / could go
with safety, I at once determined
to take Dundee" in my route,
and so in a weeks time / was
Mrs. Barksdale's guest.
The spirit of a reckless specu-
lation, and a heartless extortion
had controlled the conscience of
this family, until they had but
one thought-that of the avari-
cious accumulation of wealth,
which they imagined would
lift them far above those who
had once been their equals
that is, if Dame Fortune should
prove adverse to their strug-
giles ; but if on the other hand,
. she should also bless them with
her gifts-they would be
"genteel society" While our
whole community was in a
state of suffering, Mr.. Banks
dale withheld from the needy,
all his store OF plenty, but very
wisely he, nor his family, did
not lay up their treasure Qike

federacy, but spent it in buying
up valuable property, and in
most deliberately furnishing
their house from top to bot
tom.
| found the few friends they
had claimed, and who were
greatly their superiors in an in
tellectual degree, had all drop
ped off, because Gas Mrs. Barks-
dale said) they had all been cut
by her, not being fit society for
one of her worth-and that if
you notice such people in com
pany they always get above
high water mark and with a
toss of her head she swept by,
to attend to the call of SER

I might like best, and in my
reverie 1 was very sensibly re-

of vanity, she had invited me
to come, to see her vast accu-
mutation. Pinkey was model
of perfection in her own eyes,
and also in those of her moth
er's. Her red hair was fixed
up in the most approved style
her thickly freckled face was
coated over with alabaster-
VIII lie her handsome silks were
behounced to perfection-all in
readiness for the bridal occasion.
In the opinion Of her entire
family, she had achieved a mar
velous victory in securing so
distinguished a fellow as leu
tenant Downing, and | ust
admit that | thought so too
at least so for as sense was con-
cerned-for I could not see how
a man of any pratension to
knowledge, could CT admire
such a girl as he had chosen for
wife, but then | knew that it
Was property (and not Pinkey)
which was the attraction in
this Lottery Speculation, and
like the lrishman he took the
Triggers and money! for his
welded portion-instead Of the
woman he vowed to love in the
presence of Ged and man. $50

spicuously. He had learned a
few snatches from celebrated
authors, which served as q
sauce for all conversation, The
evening that Pinkey was mar
ried wit made a very grand
effort to show off; and took one
of his happy flights above the
moon and stars -while he &C.

sorry for him, and for myself
too, for 1 was never more be-
wildered in my life, for | knew
what an impetuous temper he
had-and to reject him would
be an insult I could not give, in
his own house-so to modify
