JOHN CHINAMAN GOOD SHOEMAKER
A former resident of New Bedford, who has
recently visited North Adams, Mass, "inter-
viewed" Mr.. Sampson, the shoe manufactur.
er, who runs coolie factory, and that gen.
tleman (says the New Bedford Standard)
states that his experiment is so successful
that he intents to import fifty more Chinese.
increasing the number to 125. Before the
first shipment arrived, his business had hare.
ly held its own, but now it is largely profta-
BILE. The Chinese are very apt in learnino
the business, and some of the Caucasiaps
whom he has since employed have left in dis
gust because the Chinese were more rapid
workmen than themselves. They average
about one sixth more work in proportion to
their number. All the coolies are interested
In learning the English language, and there is
not one who has not mastered the alpnaDet'
A Sunday School is held regularly in the 1ac
tory, of which Mr.. Sampson is superlntend-
ent. Thirtyf have adopted the American
costume.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1871-04-29

While train on the Boston and ALBANY
railroad was running at speed of 25 miles an
hour, the other day, on a short curve between
Richmond and State Line, the engineer nc
ticed man walking on the track some dis
tanee ahead of the train. He blew the whis-
tie and rang the bell, but did not seem TO at
tract his attention. He then made every en-
deavor to stop the train, but all to no avail.
The cow-catcher struck the man and threw
him in front of the engine against the boiler,
and there he remained until the engineer
stopped the locomotive, when the stranger"
jumped off and put his fingers to his nose, as
ii to say, "you didn't kill me, did YEP" The
engineer and fireman took it for granted that
the man was dead, and their surprise when
they saw him making up faces at them can be
imagined. 1t was miraculous escape; not
once in thousand times would person es-
cape death under similar circumstances.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1871-04-29

Utah is being reconstructed and a gentle
man just from there brings encouraging ac-
counts. Mormons and Gentiles visit and do
business together, and Mcrmons are mostly
hired to work the mines. A large number Of
Gentiles have married Mormon girls within
the last two years. Polyeamic marriages are
now the exceptions, and not the rule, as here
tofore.
A manned soldier employed in public build
ing in this city is the possessor, or was, OF a
very nice wooden leg. He has a friend, or bad
who is similarly manned, but had NO wooden
leg to wear. The former, on account Of the
illness of his wife, got leave to remain at home
aday or two. His friend asked the loan of
his leg short time, and feeling that while
his wife was sick he would not need it, he let
his leg &c. His wife has recovered. lie now
wants to 60 out, but finds that his friend has
lett for New York, borrowed leg and all, and
he does not know when he will return. What
can he do ?-B0ston Journal.

sHoDDY LEATHER.-The working up of
leather scraps into an artificial product re-
semblng the original material has been yery
frequently attempted, and to some extent car
ried into practice. Here is a method lately
proposed by Danish inventor, one MI.
Thamsen, of Copenhagen. He takes leather
waste, cuttings, shavings, or other small bits
OF leather, either new or old, and reduces IL
to kind OF fbrous pulp by hand labor or by
