An instance of the Americas has come
to my ears, and very funny l think it
is. It seems that during the run of
GAS You Like It." a pretty young
school girl witnessing the performance
became desperately smitten with the
charms of James Mace, the wrestling
hero of the piece
1t appears her infatuation was not
too deep for utterance, and she gushed
in several notes, which were sent to
Mace's home in Twenty-third street.
The fair demoiselle laid her plans. She
would write frequently-intelest the
pugilist hero, and probably at the
Lelderkranz or some masgue ball of the
winter, they would meet, and she
would disclose to him her identity with
the loving "Eoline," as she had signed
her letters. But ut the "Americus -
she found herself squeezed up in a
corner with-who of oil persons but
the redoubtable James
Heaven knows how she opened the
conversation, but Mace finally took the
whole atrocity in, and addressed the
little sufferer thus:
$50 you're the one as wrote them
letters signed Anodyne? Well, just let
up on 'em, will you? | have been in q
pretty sweat about 'em. For you see
my old woman is up to the house, and
always laying for letters. She reads
writing frst-rate, and if she'd ever
nailed one o them letters, l might Just
as well jump out four-story winder /;
it would have been all day with me-"
Poor Eolinel Lucky, for the child,
perhaps, this first indiscretion was
committed in that direction-for she is
thoroughly cured by DIR. Mace for all
coming time.
THE "HEATHEN CHINEE'' AS A CIGAR
MAKER. The San Francisco Bulletin
/ states that there are two thousand per-
sons in San Francisco engaged in
making cigars. OF these one hundred
are Americans and nineteen hundred
| Chinese, many OF the latter being
women and boys. The men earn on an
average nine dollars week, and some
can make as high as twelve dollars q
week. The women and boys can earn
about four dollars week. The wages
are earned under American employers,
while the Chinese employers
only pay two-thirds Of the
above rates The number of cigars
made in San Francisco amount every
year to about sixty millions, worth So,
| 5000 There is in San Francisco
seventy-two cigar factories, of which
thirty-two are owned by Americans and
twenty-eight by Chinese. The Chinese,
when first arriving in San Francisco,
work for three months without wages,
until they have learned cigar making,
and then receive from four to six dollars
| a week, from employers of their own
nation. At the first opportunity, how
ever, they enter the factories conducted
by Americans, and are paid from eight
to ten dollars the thousand cigars, at
these rates earning nine dollars week.
The board paid by the Chinese averages
three dollars and half week.
A Borrower SQUELcHED. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer tells an incident in
which the late Wesley Smead, the we'll
known banker, and another well known
and eccentric citizen, whose credit did
not stand very high in bank parlors,
