MORE than fifteen years ago China
man graduated at Yale College. Now we
are told that he is about to return, bring
ing with him thirty other Cinnamon, who
will enter the same college. This is new
form of Chinese immigration. The soli-
tary Chinaman who has at rare intervals
entered an American college has been well
coined by his fellow-students as an inter-
esting novelty. Thirty Chinaman, how
ever, who will form little colony of their
own, and will keep the national customs of
dining and dress, will be new element in
collegiate life. The Chinese freshman
flying his leisure kite upon the college
grounds, instead of carrying off midnight
gates and mailing up obnoxious tutors the
Chinese sophomore feasting upon the fru-
gal rat, instead of lavishing his money on
bad champagne the Chinese junior max
ing his own clothing, instead of making
the fortunes of designing tailors, and the
Chinese senior preferring to translate Con-
fucius into English rather than to firt
with the traditional belle of New Haven,
will utterly confound the traditions of
Yale and provoke undergraduate hostility
to cheap Chinese study.

!. The Nine Of Diamends.~

The following reasons are given why
the nine of diamonds is called the /" curse
of Scotland:
In the distracted state of the country
during the reign of Mary, man, George
Campbell by name, attempted to steal the
crown out of Edinburg castle In this
case he was unsuccessful, but managed to
abstract nine valuable jewels, and escaped
safely to foreign shore. To replace these
a heavy tax was laid upon the country,
which the poor, oppressed people thought
so great an agrievance that they termed it
the curse Of Scotland. and, until very re-
Gently, the card itself bore the name of
George Campbell in the Highland. An
other explanation relates to the we'll
known massacre of Glencoe. The mandate
Of this cruel deed was signed by the eld-
est son of the Earl Of Stair, who was at
the time Secretary of State of Scotland

CHICAGO.
BY JOHN G.. WHITTIER

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Men said at vespers. All is WE'LL
In one wild night the city fell;
Fell shrines of prayer and marts of gain
Before the fiery hurricane.
On threescore spires had sunset shone.
Where CHASTITY sunrise looked on none :
Men clasped each others hands and said:
The City of the West is dead!
Brave hearts who fought, i'm slow retreat,
The fiends of fire from street to street,
Turned, powerless to the binding glare,
The dumb defiance of despair.
A sudden impulse thrilled each wire
That signaled round that sea of fire -
Swift words of cheer, warm heart-throbs
came;
In tears ofpity died the flame
From East, from West, from South and
North,
The messages of hope shot forth,
And, underneath the severing wave,
The world full-handed, reached to save.
Fair seemed the old but fairer still
The new the dreary void shall fill,
With dearer homes than those o'erthrown
For love shall lay each cornerstone.
Rise, stricken city from the throw
The ashen sackcloth of thy Woe;
And build, as Thebes to Amphions strain
To songs of cheer thy walls again
How shrivelled in thy hot distress
The primal sin of selfishnessl
How instant rose, to take thy part
The angel in the human heart!
All ! not in vain the flames that tossed
Above that dreadful halocaust;
The Christ again has preached through
thee
The Gospel of Humanity!
Then lift once more thy towers on high,
And fret with spires the western sky,
10 tell that God is with us,
And love is still miraculous!

other explanation relates to the battle of
Culloden, which extinguished the hopes of
the Stuart party, and was at the time con-
sidered national curse. The Duke of

victory on it.

A Temperance Sterx.

Judge Rhea, the temperance lecturer,
in one of his efforts, got off the following
hard hit at moderate drinkers:
"ill those who in youth acquire ha-
bit of drinking whisky, at forty years of
age will be total abstainers or drunkards.
No person can use liquor for years with
moderation. If there is a person in the
audience before me whose experience dis
putes this, let him make it known. I will
account for it, or acknowledge that am
mistaken"
A tall, large man arose, and folding his
arms across his breast, said

ence contradicts your statements.
Are you moderate drinker? asked the
Judge.

"W ell," remarked the Judge scanning
his subject from head to foot, "yours.is a
singular case, yet think it is easily ac-
counted for. 1 am reminded by it of a
little story: A colored man with a loaf
of bread and bottle of whisky sat down
to dine on the bank of clear stream. In
breaking the bread he dropped some of
the crumbs into the water. These we're
eagerly seized and eaten by the fish. That
circumstance suggested to the darky the
idea of dipping the bread into the whisky
and feeding them. He tried it. 1t worked
well some of the fishes ate of it, became
drunk. and foated helplessly along the
stream. In this way he easily caught a
large number. But in the stream was a
fish very unlike the rest. 1t partook freely
of the bread and whisky, but with no pre-
ceptible effect. 1t was shy of every eff
fort of the darky to catch it. He resolved
to have it at all hazards. He procured
net, and after much effort caught it, car
ried it to neighbor and asked his opinion
in the matter. The other surveyed the
wonder moment, and then said 'Sambo
I understands dis case. Dis fish is a null

words, added the Judge, alcohol effects on

Britain and Ireland the wealthiest and

who occupy large farms of good grass
land. and who fatten and sell annually
large numbers of cattle. This class of
farmers are called graziers. They keep
very little Of the land in tillage, do not
winter large numbers of cattle, but buy
two or three -year~old heifers and steers
in the spring, keep them on choice pasture
DURING the summer and autumn, and sell
them before the animals begin to lose
flesh late in the fall. The vast herds OF
Texan cattle are sometimes managed In a
similar way, being purchased when in a
low condition, and driven on the rancho
and succulent prairie grass until they
have become nearly fat. Farmers who
have good grass land should devote at
least a portion of it to fattening stock
