CHINESE LABuR-rne Chicago Tribune
says that "a Portland (OregoD) paper relates
little incident that recently occurred III that
vicinity, and is fair practical illustration OF
the question Of cheap Chinese labor, worth
dozrn chapters Of abstract political economy:
y certain Judge had dumped at his door load
of wood. when Immediately Chinese wood
sawyer asked ior the job OF saving 1t up.
How muchec?' asked the Judge. Hap dol
lar, replied john A bargain was about to be
struck, when white citizen, OF the blue blood
demanded the job How much ? again a. ked
inc Judge. n dollar ana halt, replied
white citizen. The Judge demurred, replying
that the Chinaman had Just offered to do the
same work for half dollar However, he
said, as prefer to encourage white American
labor, | will pay you a dollar and a haf,
whereupun the white constituent prepared for
the work. and John turned away disappointed
But the Judge returned some hours atterward,
and to his surprise, found the ChipaulaD, and
not the white man at work upon his wood pile.
'uow's this, how's this? 2 said his Honor,
who told you to saw my wood?' Mclean
mar.' said John. How muchee he pay :?
qucrled the Judge Hap dollar said John.
The Judge accepted this lesson on cheap Asia
tic labor, and understands now that this fellow
Democrat was wiser than he in giving up labor
with his own hands, and in rising at once to
the dignity of an employer by buying labor at
illty cents, and selling it again at two hundred
per cent. advance Strikers, In Massachusetts

KEEPING GRAPES UNDER GROUND. D.-MaDy
years ago, while in the nursery business, a
customer wanted some vines of me, aud while
they were being dug up be asked me it l Lad
kept any grapes over winter. This was in
March. Of course he got negative reply
WE'LL says he, when l come next week tor
trees will bring you some along. The thing
seemed out joke to me at the time, bus OF
course | thanked him for the kind offer. True
to his promise, when be came a week or ten
days thereafter he brought me somc. Not a
few berries, as might have been expected but
at least FIVE pounds. They were Isabeas and
Catawbas, perfectly plump, sweet. and fresh
although most of the berries had dropped from
their stems. With the exception Of q very
slight earthly taste, they were certainly ex-
cellent.
The question. of course, was asked, how o
you keep them thus ? The reply Was, that in
the fall, as late as the cold will admit, they
we're gathered in clear day when perfectly
dry a box about eight inches deep was taken;
q layer Cf green leaves was taken from the
vines and laid on the bottom on these u lay
CT of grapes, then layer OF leaves again, un-
ill the bux was full, Flushing with a layer ol
leaves Put the lid on sight and bury decp
enough TO escape tho trosts Of winter d
course it must be where water cannot settle
into the box.
The stems OF those grapes were quite fresh
when given 10 me- The man told me his
father in law had kept them thus for years. -
Why | never tried it is now mystery to me,
hit il spared until fall will do so, think, -

opinion of the most prominent and calculating
