The Coming Man.

The question of Chinese labor has agitated
the Southern mind for the last four or five years,
and yet Notwithstanding the efforts of koop-
manschoop and his admirers, the difficulties in
the way of its successful introduction have not
yet.been surmounted, and since the death of
Burlinganle, the wished-for object seems. still
further off, if possible. Foreseeing this, Vic
Sturm has laid in an immense supply Of teas, of
the latest importation, at the famed Knoxville
Tea Hong, and not only that, but everything
that housekeepers can possibly desire in order
to delight the appetite, which heselIsas cheap as
anybody, and delivers at your doors free of
charge.

In Congress, the House Funding bill, which
has attracted so much of the attention OF tho
country for the last few weeks, has come out IN
an entirely new shape 1t differs totally from
the Senate bill, and provides for long four per
cent. bond exempt from all taxation. The COM
pulsory clause requiring the national banks to
take the new bonds has been stricken out The
clause allowing the bonds to be negotiated
abroad is also stricken out. Its provisions con-
corning national banks is in direct antagonlsm
with the ninety-four million national bank bills
which has been agreed upon by the Banking and
Currency Conmittee 1t is evident there will be
severe struggle between these two committees
in regard to the national bank features IN the
two bills Secretary Boutwell, is strongly OPP
posed to the bill proposed by the Ways and
Means Committee, and will use his influence to
defeat it. The Funding bill, in its new shape,
was reported, read and recommitted on the 9th,
and Gen Schcnck was granted leave to litup
at any time. 1t is hardly probable that it will
be called up for several days, as most of that
time has been assigned to other special orders.
A number of persons from New. York, inter
ested in banking matters, were before the Bank
ing and Currency Committee recently, adyocat
ing a new banking scheme, which shall allow
individuals or corporations doing banking bust
ness to deposit in the United States Treasury
either gold bullion, United States notes silver,
as a basis on which Government notes shall be
issued that securities to be deposited with the
Government, of whatever nature, shall receive
as a collateral an amount of currency equal to
the price of gold on the day they arc deposited,
and that no limits shall be made to the issue of
notes as banking capital, SO long as the securi-
ties are held by the Treasury of the United
States. 1t il understood the Committee does not
regard the scheme with favor. W.

Beecher's First Shot.

Did you know that the first time
that ever fired a gun it was at a
~chippy," and that 1 did not hit him.
My father it was, that let me trot be
hind him, seven or eight years old,
while hunted he through the fields.
How my nerves screwed up when he
took aim! what a crash in my over
sensitive ear was the report! 1t was
always painful, and an irresistible
fascination. And so one dav. return
ing home, out ran a bold chip-mOnk,
and coursed along the walk with
trailing tail, then mounting stone,
tail cooked up, he said "FIit me,
hit me, he, he;' Here Henry, do
you want to shoot?" Yes, sir--no
yes I do" Get behind me-let
the gun rest on my shoulder-now
take aim-cOme, pull the trigger or
he'll be off"
l shut up one eye IN a manner that
carried the other with it. I opened
both. The tears came. The squirrel
seemed six or seven squirrels whirl-
ing around in the air. 1 took aim,
but it would not stay aimed. Some
how, 1 saw the sky, the stone wall, a
great mullen stolk, the squirrel, and
twenty other things, all in JIG.
Bang went the gun.-"Cigger-ree-
rec" went the squirrel as he dIved
down, laughing, into hole.
Well, I've seen many minister
do the same thing with a sermon, and
fell as satisfied as l did. To be sure,
1 had not hit anything, but I had
made splendid noise.

What Happened in the TnnneI.

\ few days ago, on board the ex-
press train Of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, bound sOuthward
under the care of Conductor Frescoin
were q young lady and gentleman
seated together, bearing the appear
ance of a couple recently married or
wishing most heartily they were. It
was observed by the passengers that
the lady had ON her lip bit of black
court plaster-probably she had a
sore lip. This was noticed before
the train had entered the tunnel at
Ph@inxyille, which is 1850 feet.
After the train had passed the tun-
mel the passengers saw another sight
For 10. the black court plaster. bv
some hocus pOcus, had changed lips;
and now the young man had it bad.
The mysterious changing Of the
plaster became the subject of con
yersation among the other passeng-
ers and all on board indulged In n
hearty laugh, as light began to dawn
upon their wonderings. Light began
also to dawn upon the minds of the
couple, and when the train stopped at
Phgnixville, Il violent blushipo
ensued. The question is, What
happened in the tunnel:'

The rooms were crowded, as Ella
Isuperbly dressed, swept into the
splendid Hall, she expectsd sooz to

were turned upon her, as she passed
with queenly grace to the reception

recovering her selfpossession, ad-

ing her gently forward, he present

Stupefed she gazed on the face of
Mary Grey, despised seamtress, ut

unexpected rival, and the shock of
seeing the child ofpoverty elevated
to the position her ambitious hopes

Comfort and happiness soon re-

To Mary, life flows on like a fairy
dream, brighter far by contrast with
the past; and We need hardly add
that DR.. Hunter has never ceased tc
bless the night Of storm in which he
opened his arms and heart to take
into their warm shelter the poor, un-
paid seamstress, Mary Grey.
