THE HEArHEN CHINEE.- From the Boston
Advertiser. Most Of us remember how three
years. ago. amid the excitement consequentup-
on the advent of the Chinese in large numbers
upon the Pacific slope, created BY the wild talk
of scared champions Of ':Ahericah abor,a there
came to the minds of many house holders de-
lightful vision of a domestic millennium when
docile, dutiful, neat, quick fingered being, uu-
intelligent, but wonderfully capable, should
glide into American kitchens and free them
from the presence OF the incompetent hand
maidens whose faults of temper aud education
render the management of home such sad
and dreary piece Of business for thousands Of
American wives. 1t was such pleasing con-
,templationl Once there seemed for a little
time prospect that the sant.eyed immigrant
from the East, with his pigtail, would really
grace the back yards of Beacon street; but he
never came. And now we know that the, vision
was wholly ilusory There, never was any
such being as our fancy, aided by the hint.
which came to us from the Golden iGate
had painted. John is like all the rest
of them, only a good deal worse, and
all hopes of a heather redemption of our domes-
tic service are blasted. Vile, tricky, and with
an easy capacity for degradation, he is IAN in
Fiction that cannot be borne, raising hopes that
can never be realized, and in the end emptyDg
homes and filling the hotels and boarding.
houses Of the land The Mongolian servant,
100, according to San Francisco paper, had
his cousins and his capacity for this rea-
tionship is wonderful. He knew how to graft
on to his forced economy the most excessive
improvidence. He could overlay his traditional
neatuess with as much filth as the most slattern-
iy of servants So long as he did not know a
word of English, and was ignorant OF 1.-The, use
of the most common kitchen utensils, he was
content to work for low wages, and was only too
glad to have the mistress of the household
spend some hours every day for his instruction.
No class Of servants is so much demoralized by
gambling as the Chinese Train them, in
Sunday schools and make nominal Christians
of them, the Old love OF games of chance still
remains. On that particular evening when
john has gone out to. see his ''cousin" and re
turns home late: ten to one but he loses his
last dollar at gambling den, or puts itiiu for
investment by.way Of stocking the bank. a@a!

THE LOCK- Up.

No Excitement in the Strect-Whut Ii Thouuit
Of the Breakdown Of tho Prosecution
Against Smith & Co.
The excitement In Wall street over the "lock.up''
yesterday altogether faded out and money yester
day afternoon showed signs OF returning ease and
plenty. Tho breakdown OF the prosecution against
tho conspIrators, however, still fingered as an
amusing and interesting topic OF conversation.
Nowhere else, perhaps, is the power Of
money rated higher than In the "street"
and as that locality Is the very head
quarters OF Mamm0n The feeling Is not an unnatural
one. Nearly every Dody, therefore, predicted, when
the prosecution was first Initiated, that nothing
could be done against men so rich as those assaied,
even II they were really guilty or any wrsng-a
question upon which opinion was divided IL can.
not, therefore, be said that any Is disappointed
at the result OF the proceedings In the Court. still
there Is great deal oil dissatisfaction at the ap-
parent impossDlity OF preventing such interference
with the ordinary current OF finance Not u few men
have often wondered. no doubt, what would be
the consequence II one among'Our half u dozen Co
lossi OF wealtn--one or the grand dukes VI Man,

ond rate Importance, like the men VINO are now be-
scheme-were to take 1t into his mead TO suddenly
Withdraw his capital from the market. or course,
such thing under ordinary circumstances would
be Impossible, because no capitalist could sell out
his Investments and realize his wealth wlth0ut
enormous sacrifices. YeG state OF things may be
Imagined IN which, by long Planned aud skluly
executed plan, such programme could be carried
out. And then-why then, oil course, thousands or
men would be ruined and the country would be
plunged into the horrors OF a panic. IL Is a for.
lunate thing that It is the necessary interest OF all
rich men TO see everybody around them prosper

II Is generally felt that by legislation either at
Washington or Albany. or some Otner place, these
locK-ups nave got TO DC made au impossi0lllty in
