A Chronicle man had the opportunity few days
ago to sip the impartial tea-b1oom, the priceless
beverage Of Celestial extravaganza. Learning

Chong d Co., Chinese wholesale merchants, at
739 Sacramento street, for information. Tuck
Chong, an urbane Chinese, received the reporter
kindly, listened to his request to be shown the

How Corrupt Proposals were Once
Treated in Congress-.

= From tbs Ee7o Orleans Times.
An illustration OF the great difference between
she sentiments and ideas Of the early adminis-
srato1s OF the Government, and those Of our
period, may be found in the report Of the pro-
teedings Of the House Of Representatives, in
1885, in Al affair very similar to the Credit No
ailier business. This report Will be found in the
arst volume of Colonel Benton . Abrid dgenent Of
he Debates Of Congress. page GIT. The facts
may be thus briefly stated:
Two men Of the class now called smart and
1nterp1islng, Randall and Whitney were their

by which they we're to obtain for themselves the
atle Of the United States to all the l2nd now
Ut receiving quit-claims from the Indians, and
renewing them beyond Lake Michigan. The
achema. Eas put in the shape of joint
stock company, similar to that Of the Credit Mo-
bller. The stock was divided into forty or forty
pne shares. That OF these Ehares twenty-focr
pf them were to be reserved for disposal by
Raudal1 and Whitney for such members Of Con-
Ecess as assisted them by their abilities aud
votes in obtaining the grant from Congress-
That the said txenty-fonr shares were TO be
equally divided between the Eastern and South
I'm members Of Congress, Randall undertaking
Sonanage The one and Whitney the other.
This wss the scheme, and the managers pro-
se5ded to Philadelphia, where Congress then sat,

tortunstely for the honor OF the country, they
had veRE different sort Of men to manage from
those who. Of late years, have grown suddenly

A WICKED BtsE,

A Mrs. Gould associated with her son
Mr.. William Ford and his wife, in March
last, rented building in St. Paul, MINI,
styled 1t Madame New Infrmary,n and
soon had it filled with patients, pay in sd-
vance. Every appearance seemed prosper
Gus, and she was credited at the stores,
philanthropists loaned her money, and she
was looked upon simply as good Samar-
titan. She took trip to Chicago, but did
not return. Her son and his wife in due
time followed, and the patients found
themselves minus q land lord. The St.
Paul Daily Press says:
The condition of the unfortunate patients
can be imagined. They are all strangers
in this city, and the most of them having
advanced payment and loaned large sums
of money TO the heartess woman, are left IN
destitute condition. One of the mum Der
is 60 low that her life has been despaired
of, and they will all soon be turned upon
the kindness Of the world, for it is not pro.
bable that they will be permitted to occu-
py the house much longer, the present
arrearages Of rental.
Complaints have been made 10 the po-
lice, and charges Of false pretense for the
purpose of obtaining credit preferred, and
it is to be hoped, if almost impossible cir.
cumstsnces do not transpire TO clear this
mass Of evident hesrtlessness and Grimm
ally, that these parties may be brought
to justice.
