To EMPLOY CHISEsE.-It is reported that
the Massachusetts mills and factories have sent
an agent to Hong Kong to employ coolies for
operatives, and that cargo of them will soon
be shipped for Salem. Not satisfied with from
seventy-five to two hundred per cent. profit on
their goods, under the protective tariff system,
the millionaire manufacturers now propose to
discard white labor and employ Chinese at
lower rates in order to stuff more profits into
their plethoric purses. What care they for
the white laboring classes? Cheap labor is
their hobby; IL puts more money in their peck
cts, and they don't care who sinks, so that they
swim. Their theory is, that if poor white men
and women can't work as cheap as the Chi
nese, then they must starve; and under Rad
ical protective tariff and the Burlingame treaty
the poor are at the mercy Of the rich

repairs are easily made. The reason for
the difference in relation to these calami-

Of stone or brick, both in the city and in

An Engineer Of Resources.

The Bethlehem (Pa.) Times says that
the Oldest locomotive engineer in the
United States is Barney Butt, who now
runs an engine on the Lebanon branch of
the Reading Railroad. Barney was born
in Conyngham, Luzerne County, Penn,
and went on the Beaver Meadow Railroad
about the year 1885 or 1886. In 1887 he
was running an engine from Parryville to
Weatherly, the planes being then in opera
ton. The cars were drawn up the planes
by stationary engine, and were then
drawn into the Beaver Meadow mines by
a locomotive engine. A good story is told
of Barneys readiness in case of an emer-
gency. One day his engine would not
make steam well, and he was likely to be
overtaken by passenger train before he
could reach the turnout. Seeing a good
sized porker beside the track, he jumped
from his engine-the train was moving
very slow-seized the pig, cut his throat,
and stuffed him into the furnace The fat
of the pig was better than kindling-wood,
and in very short time Barney had steam
up and was out of danger.

Fall Treatment Of Clay Lands.

A clay soil under proper mode of
treatment is our most productive soil
What is called an agricultural clay, that is,
clay with twenty-five per cent. of sand in
intimate mixture with it, is the best and
most lasting soil for grain, and especially
grass. But while a light loan is COM
paratively safe from injury, clay soil
can be measurably ruined by improper
treatment. And the greatest danger is to
be apprehended from plowing when too
wet The working of clay in a moist
condition will bring it into state of
tenacious consistency that frost cannot
overcome, and many years of tillage will
be required to reduce. In the meantime
its value is lessened and fertility impaired.
Draining such soils is necessary for their
proper cultivation inasmuch as it often
becomes either necessary or desirable to
work them before they can naturally get
rid of an extensive amount of moisture
Farmers can not he too watchful of clay
lands at this season of the year, lest one
unreasonable plowing should cause a
serious injury. Here is seen the advan-
tage of draining. While one farmer is
enabled to keep his men and teams at
work and seize a favorable opportunity
for forwarding his operations, his neigh
Dor, having an undrained farm, is COM
PEELED to lie idle and loses both time and
money. The capital invested in drains
returns interest in other ways than by in
creased crops.-[ Hearth and Home.

Arrest Decay.


When plaut or tree begins to decay it
Hust needs die. II cannot be reyitalized.
But ii Is not so with human beings. A hui
man ruin can be repaired, strengthened, re
stored, though a brown leaf or witherbd
blade Of grass can never be tnads greeh
again. In the autumn of life, or even i'm its
winter, when nature seems to he giving way
under the pressure of years, il is still possi-
BILE to retard the progress of decay, and to
lend to age more than its wonted yigOr. As
a means of promoting this object, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is unquestionably the
most potent of all restoratives. 1t will not
make the old young, but II will prevent, les
sen, or soothe the inhrmities which are the
usual accompanments of the decline of life.
For debility and lack of nervous power,
from whatever cause arising, it is the medi-
cine that, of all others before the world, best
deserves the name of a specific, In purity, in
inviguratihg properties, in its adaptation to
weak stomachs and feeble organizations, it
has no competitor among the tonics of the

edies. Besides its strengthening principle,
it possesses Alternative and regulating prop
critics of the highest order, and as an anti
bilious medicine is far preferable to any of
the preparations containing mercury. Time
has shown that for physical decay, nervous
debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and in
termittent fever, Hostetter's Bitters is rem
edy without n rival. This is the season OF
the fall of the leaf; let it remind the old, the
I feeble, the sickly, to inyigorate and regulate

Nine or ten days before the steamer
rescued him, Captain Hopken states that
a bark ran down to the wreck, hove 10 tor
q few minutes, and then squared away
without sending off boat or making any
effort to rescue the lives OF those on
board of whom there were eight living;
The bark came so near that persons could
be seen moving about the deck. Those on
the brig were so weak as to be unable to
stand. but got on their knees and waved
pieces of sailcloth, hoping to attract at

the bark square away, when so near

than described, Their last hope being
gone, they lay down, one after another,
and died or leaped overheard. The bark
displayed no flag, and all that Captain
Hopken can recollect of her appearance
was that she had bright new spanker
set.
Soon after the disaster occurred, Captain
Hopken set the foresail and jib (the only
sails used), and rugged the rudder so as to
steer the wreck from the foretop. This
was accomplished by running the ruddel
ropes through block aft, and then for
ward to the foretop. In this way the

islands with tolerable correctness, without
compass or chart The accident occurred
