each of the young unfortunates was born
to an entailed estate of tens of thousands
q year, the pride, extravaganza, and en-
ulation inspired by such gatherings of
unreasoning and highly impressiblc
children, would be disastrous, if not
ruinous. When, however, the majority
of the little guests have parents whose
wealth, if not lost by business rcverses,
will be divided among a number Of
heirs, the risk is greatly intensified. A
child who grows up with the habits
financially justified by an income of
$4,000 will be wretchedly poor with
one of 81 600 or $4,000. The moral re-
suits will be far worse than the fnan-
cial. The first years of life are much
more impossible than those which sue
ceed them, and habits and tastes then
formed are almost ineradicable.

Such filthy and profuse nasal discharge I!
Where does it all come from I? The little
glands in the tissue lining the chambers of the
nose are liberated and diseased, drawing from
the system its corruption. 1t is an outlet for
its impurities. Stop this discharge by using
the many advertised strong liquids, snuffs and
inhalants and you make an outlet in the lungs
or elsewhere. The disease is translated to
another locality more fatal. The rational
way to cure is TO correct the system by using
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which
tones it up, cleanses the blood and heals the
diseased glands by a specific influence upon
them, and to assist, uss DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy with DR.. Pierce's Nasal Douche, the
only way 10 reach the upper and back cavi-
ties where the discharges come from. No
danger from this treatment and it is the only
sure cure. The Douche and two medicines

Story of a WOman's Faith.

Mrs. Josslyn is washerwoman, and
works very hard for her living. In the
palmy days of Harry Meiggs she depos-
tied with him no less an amount than
$4,000, and when Meiggs and hermoney
were gone, the time in which a woman
could lay up so large sum from the
profit of her business was gone also.
Some two or three months ago she read
in some publication that her old banker
had made money in South America by
building railroads, and with beautiful
faith in human nature, she embarked
upon the Panama Steamer and wended
her way to the South, where Meiggs
now holds sway. She sought the mil
lionaire in his gorgeous residence, and
presented her bank book and told her
tale. Meiggs listened and when she had
finished, he handed her check for the
amount of the deposit and interest from
its date to the time of payment. She
departed a wealthier and happier wo-

John Chinaman as a Cigar Maker.

In San Francisco there are forty Chi
nese factories in which cigars are made.
In the Chinese quarter of the city, these
factories are established in unexpected
localities. Three, four, or five men put
in $40 each, in kind of cooperative
company, and set to work in whatever
tain, from the cellar to the roof. They
often dig out places underneath the
houses, where they are obliged to work
by gaslight or lamplight. Those places
are rarely visited by any one but Chi
nese themselves.
The more pretcntious Chinese estab-
lishments (says the Bulietin) are divisible
into two grades, those who work on their
own capital, and those which being
managed by and run under the name of
Chinese, are really bad adjuncts of the
large white factories. The former are
run by cooperative parties of from four
to five, to dozen in each, but are near
| ly all under the control of one or other
of the two great Chinese companies.
| The latter receive their leaf on credit
from the white manufacturer, and sup
ply the latter with cigars. The majority
of the Chinese manufacturers manage in
this way. Lewis & Co., Goshusky, and
a few other houses do great trade thus
The former supply considerable more
than half the Chinese establishments
with material, with Government stamps
with wrapping paper, and even with
cash to pay their men.
Thus the majority of the Chinese fac
tories are really run by white men and
white capital. Nearly all, too, adopt
Spanish names for the designations OF
their firms, otherwise no one would buy
their brands. They employ from 10 tc
80, and in one instance 100 hands.
The labor is nearly all Chinese, there
not being more than forty white cigar
makers in the whole city. Sixteen OF
these are employed by Cobo, MARTINEZ
&; Co., and ten by Dietz Bros, who have
only one Chinaman in their factory
But there are a good many white men
employed as Superintendents. Both the
firms employing white men state that
they make better cigars than the Chi
nese possibly can, though this is denied
by all the others, who avow that tho
Chinese, from their slender woman-likt
hands and thin taper fingers, possess un-
equalled delicacy of touch, and that il
the manipulation of cigars they are un.
rivalled, Certain it is that cigar max
ing has become par excellence the Chi,
nese industrial avocation of this city
and from one-third to one-half the whole
number returned by the census as deni-
zens of this city are engaged in it. The
first begin by learning to strip and soal
the leaves, in factories conducted by
their own people, and little by little
they learn the art of making cigars
While thus employed they obtain at first
their board and afterwards about $50 ol
$50 year, payable at the Chinese New
Year. Sometimes they lose all theii
wages, the firm where they are employed
becoming bankrupt.
With the white manufacturers, thost
employed in stripping leaves earn from
81 to $6 week; the filters or cigal
makers from So to 50 per week anC
packers, from 50 to sl2, and in some in
stances Sl3 per week. The white cigal
makers average SlS per week.

Children and their Enemies.

his club the skulls of the empty headed,
is sadly needed in Brooklyn, N. Y. A
few days ago Juvenile party took place
in that city, which was attended by
about one hundred boys and girls rang

ESTIMATING NET WEIGuTs.-A cor
respondent requests information rs to
how he can arrive at the true net weights
of hogs after the gross weights have
been ascertained. We know of no means
by which the net weights can be more
than approximately ascertained. Many
of our city packers with whom we have
conversed ON the subject tell us, that the
results of various formulas vary, very
widely; and even when no other dis
turbing elements occur, are largely af-
fected by the time which has elapsed
since the swine were fed and watered,
and especially by the circumstance of
having been subjected to long contine-
ment, sufficient to induce great thirst
and hunger, and prompt them to gorge
themselves with food and water. How
ever, there is a rule which will give ap-
proximate results, though, We infer,
scarcely near enough to buy or sell by,
and we therefore give it without vouch-
ing for its correctness. Perhaps some
of our readers will subject it to Il prac-
cal test, and give us the results.
For the first 100 lbs. deduct % for
gross for the second 100 lbs. deduct

The Independent on Greeley.

The New York Independent is regarded
as one of the most impartial as we'll as one
of the ablest journals in the country.
Here is its opinion of Mr.. Greeley:
GAS a journalist Mr.. Greeley has been
emlnently successful. This is the field on
which he has won all his victories, and
with it he should be content. His best
position is that of minority party, watch
ing and criticising the majority, while
having no political responsibility for the
measures that may be adopted. As q
leader, a standard bearer, a wise and saga
ciOus counselor, the record of his life sup
plies abundant reasons for believing that
he would be signal failure. He has al
ready committed so many blunders that
even his warmest admirers trust his iudg-
ment with caution. The crOtchety struc-
ture of his mind, his vacillatiOn of pur-
pose, except when made persistent by
passion, his tendency to extremes, his lack
of courage and firmness, the violent char
acter of his prejudices, the facility with
which he may be deceived in his estimate
of men and measures, and the general un-
certainty Of his mental mOvements-facts
that have become prOverbial in the history
of Mr.. Greeley, especially since his course
during and after the late war-pre-emi-
nently disqualify him for the complicated
and responsible duties of the Presidency
of these United States.
