gest trade in this county, was filed up
with Chinese workmen; at boot and shoe
making there were now $50 Chinese at
work in this city. There were the do.
mestic servants; they manufactured the
fireworks; and it would not be long before
the sewing machine would be in their
hands. There was no reason why they
should not set type for Is cents per 1000
ems, as they are now set for sixty cents,
and he did not know that some Of them
could not be found to edit papers as we'll as
some were edited now.
The speaker said that in the first place
the idea of the laboring classes at the
present time was probably exaggerated.
But yet hardly day passed that he did
not have some poor man or woman stand
ing before pleading for work; not beg
ging, but only seeking for an opportunity
to earn some bread. He thought that
Government peculiarly unfortunate that
could not provide labor and pay for it..
1t was the duty ofthe government to make
the most sweeping laws until every man
and every woman was provided with work,
and he said were he Caius Gracious and
this Rome, he would reform the laws even
up tc the point, if it were necessary, of
making every rich man divide and divide
his property again and again until labor
sufficient for all had been provided. Some
thing must be done. He said the rich
and the woll-off must help the poor. 1t
was easy for men rising from Widespread
tables to preach patience to starving wives
and children; but it was not so easy to
submit patiently to see the bread which
the little ones ought to have carried off
by a horde Of barbarians. The speaker
referred to the absurdity of telling penui-
less men to go into the country and farm !;
to the oue-sidcd operation Of the treaty
with China, which country held out no
inducements for us to 60 there, while ours
held out every inducemcnt for the Chinese
to come and live here-a treaty which
ought to be rejected forthwith. In refer.
ring to the remark of the Sacramento
Reporter that he intended to run for office,
he said he was sorry he had ever dcmeaned
himself to run for Office at all, and that
he never would again as long as he lived.

y From time to time accounts are
brought from India Of the progress Of the
famine which has been progressing in GER
tain districts for years. In 1867, a mon
soon Of unusual length flooded the rice
country and ,rotted the crops. Since then
during two years, not drop Of rain has
fallen. Wells and tanks are dried up;
grain does not germinate, herbage is
parched, and at least 100000 deaths by
starvation aud thirst have occurred in the
province Of Raipootaua. Neither the
British East Indian authorities nor the ma
tive chiefs appear to be able to provide
measures Of permanent relief, and the
wretched survivors Of these disasters exc
out existence by sucking the top shoots Of
certain tall trees, obtained with difficulty
by climbing. Four months are yet to
elapse before there is any probability Of
another rainfall. f->

Good Singing,

Good singing is one of the very finest
social accomplishments. And good bal.
lad singer, Of either sex, is a most valua.
BILE addition to any circle. Ballad singing
is, however, not half so popular as it
used to be, as it ought to be. We run to
opera and operate airs, aud the simple,
beautiful melodies so charming are for the
time being forgotten. The very soul Of
music ab:des in ballads, and that soul is
immortal Annie Laurie" can never
die. The " Last Rose of Summer" will
not fade from our memory over. Ballads,
rightly sung, reach the heart, and thrill it
with strange sweetness.
What, then, is good ballad singing?
1t is, in fact, the highest type of vocal art
Its essentials are good voice, careful cul-
ture, delicate scnsibilities. Quick sympa.
thies are prominent characteristic Of the
good ballad singer. Without the capacity
to feel whatever lie expresses in melody,
the singer will fail miserably, although
gifted with the rarest of voices. To quote
from "Coltam's Advice to Young Sing
ers :"
'' He should be able to impress his
hearers, and rivet their attention, no mat
ter what his subject may be, if sad, then
must he use pathos and tender feeling; if
gay, he must himself be cheerful, joyous !;
and lively; if the strain be martial, he
must also be martial in look, word and ac-
ton, full of fire aud brilliancy. He must
be able to declaim in a clear and masterly
style too much attention cannot be paid
to this for if he merely sing in tune and
the words are not heard, he but does that
which an instrument is capable Of.
"The soul Of tie singer must rise with
every emergency aud if he be clever, he
will sway the minds of his hearers as the
wind plays with the leaves. At one mo-
ment his audience will bo reused to the
highest pitch Of enthusiasm, the next may
see them melted unto tears. But to
achieve this he must lose sight of himself,
aud for the time being become, as it were,
the individual whose feelings he endeavors
to portray; in short, he must feel and
speak from the heart; and unless he does
SO, his labors are thrown away.
"What wonderful effects are created by
merely paying attention to light and shade,
or piano and forte! One person with .
capital voice shall sing song without
paying attention to the above, and ere it
is finished, it becomes monotonous and
even painful to the ear. Another, with
not nearly so good an organ, will use it
with Judgment, one moment thrilling his
hearers with soft plaintive utterings. and
anou elcctrifying them with his stirring
denunciation. This, let it be remembered,
is tho secret Of our greatest singers there
must be life, soul and contrast. Having
fine voice aud using these aids, he may
attain the highest position as singer; but
without them he is moor indeed"

WALKING EaEcr.-Walking erect not
only adds to the manliness Of appearance, r
but develops the chest and promotes the
general health in a high degree, be-
cause the lungs, being relieved Of tho
pressure made by having the head down-
ward and bending the chest in, admit. the
air freely and fully down to their very bot
tom. If an effort of the mind is made to
throw the shoulders back, a feeling Of
tiredness and awkwardness is soon ex-
perienccd, or it is forgotten. The use Of
braces to hold up the body is necessarily
pernicious, for there can be no braces
which do not press upon some part Of the
person more than is quite natural, hence
it cannot fail to impede injdriously ths
circulation ofthat part. But were there.
none Of these objections, the brace would
adapt itself to the bodily position, like q!
hat or shoe, or new garment, and would I
cease to be a brace. ,,ssa1I
To seek to maintain an erect position, st
to recover it when lost, in manner which
is at once natural, easy aud efficient, II ii
only necessary to walk habitually with thsp
eyes fixed on an object ahead, little
higher than your own, the eve of a house,
the top Of mans hat, or simply keep
your chin little above the horisontali
line, or, it will answer to walk With yoars
hands behind you; if either Of thessll
things are done, the necessary, easy aud
legitimate effect is to relieve the chest from
pressure the air gets in more easilyy de-
velops it more fully, and permsatesi tho
lungs more extensively, causing q morssl
perfect puri6cation Of the blood, impartiuy
higher health, more color to the cheek,
and compelling throwing-out Of the toes.
To derive the highest benefit from walk
ing, hold up the head, keep the mouth
shut and move briskly. 80 .islsss 5s

thought there could be no harm in playing
this one trick, SO he answered, politely,

Mr.. Fox, sneered, " Indeed" w
"Well," said the Grab, "as you appear

Now, as the Fex turned round to look
for his companion his tail touched the
milestone, and the Crab, making the best
Of his opportunity, let go his hold, and
answered:
Here I am waiting for you. I was
just wondering when you intended to
make your appearance, you have certainly
taken time enough to get over mile"
Now Mr.. Fox, who had no idea that he
had brought the crab all the way clinging
to his brush looked much astonished at
seeing him there, not the least heated or
tired, and not knowing what to say, he
paid his wager and SUNK home to his
den, determined never to laugh at a crab
