STARTLING DIscovERY-During the
sitting of court in Connecticut, not long ago;
IN very cold evening, a crowd OF lawyers
had collected around the fire that blazed
cheerfully on the hearth in the bar-room,
when traveller entered, benumbed with
cold, but no one moved to give him room
TO warm his shins, SO he leaned back against
the wall in the back part of the room.
Presently smart young limb Of the law
addressed him, when the following dialogue
cook place:
You look like traveller 7"
"Well, suppose ! am; l come all the
way from Wisconsin a-foot at any rate J"
"From Wisconsin What distance to
tome on one pair Of legs"
"Wall, done it anyhow"
"Did you ever pass through hell in any
of your travels 7"
Yes sir; I've passed through the out
skirts
Il thought likely. Well, what are the
manners and customs there? Some of Us
would like to know"
"Oh' you find Them much the same -
in this place-the lawyers sit nearest the
| fire."

Montana wants good, faithful servant
girls, or working women. They are also
wa,t ted in California-in fact, they are
wanted everywhere. They are wanted in
the cities, in the country, in the grand
palace and the farmers cottage Laboring
men want them for wives, and children want
such women for mothers. Society needs
them to keep it in order. The church wants
them, for it is impossible for lazy woman, /,
or man either, for that matter, to possess
or enjoy religion Our schools want them
for teachers, brothers want them for their
sisters, and, in fact, wedo not know place
where working woman is not wanted
And while the listless, idle dolls will find
few who have use tor them, or but few
places where they are wanted, the working
women will be in demand. Marysville
Appeal.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

There is subject which needs legisla.

OF all the legislators. State and NATIONAL
We refer to the system of slavery and Of
prostitution as is practiced by the Chinese
population. These systems are unmitiga.
ted evils and there should be some means
oy which they can be effectually remedied
The system practiced by the Chinese in.
solves the crimes of perjury, bieamy, ab-
ductlon and prostitution This is best
Illustrated BY the relation of fact which
occurred not long since in Truckee, of this
county: A Chinamen and his wife were
travelling In the cars of the Central Railroad
on their way to town in the State of Ne
vada. The woman was young and therefore
desirable property to the keepers OF
brothels Chinamen who were strangers
to the man and woman were also in the
same train These Cinnamon had followed
the man and woman from San Francisco
with the intent to capture the woman At
Iruckee an officer entered the cars armed
with warrant for the arrest o. the woman.
She was accused, before Truckee Justice
OF the Peace, of tie crime of grand larceny
1 he complaint had been made by True
kee Chi.aman The officer arrested the
woman by the assistance of the Cinnamon
who had been on the cars all the time
That same night the Truckee Chinamen
was married to the rested woman. He
withdrew his complaint aud then put the
woman into house of prostitution
The whole thing was put up job to alb
duct the woman and to make prostitute
OF her. A Chinaman, now residing here.
relates as boast that he married three wo
men in one night, American fashion, in
San Francisco. Each time the ceremony
was performed by different officers, he
taking different names to procure licenses
The women assented to Il g marriage but
had no idea of the ceremony. They
thought they we're being tried for some of.
fence. The next day the Chinaman took
his trio to the city of Stockton and sold
them. He cleared 81 200 by the trapsae-
tion
The case We have detailed is not at al
an isolated one. Every month, almost, we
he n OF officers being around with warrants
OF arrest against Chiuawomen. These war
rants are generally issued on charge of
grand larceny. The purpose of such war
rants is to transfer the Chinese women
from one owner to another. As rule the
officers who issue such warrants and the
officers who serve them know the object of
such things, and they get much more than
legal fees for such official services. Now
and then a new Justice of the Peace is i'm
posed upon when he issues warrant on
such complaints, but gene rally the Justices
who issue them know their object Legis-
lation is needed to correct such corrupt
prac'i es on the part of sworn officers of Il .
law, and legislation is needed to break up
the horrible system of Chinese woman slave

PUBLIC LANDS.

The public lands are the property of all
the people, and each has an equal interest
with any other in the method of using the
proceeds from the land sales. 1t was gen.
erous in the old States which contain no
public lands to vote the 10th and Both
sections of all such lands contained in the
new States to those States respectively for
school purpose. But it would be hardly
just to those old States to vote away their
share of the proceeds of sales from the
remainder of the public lands, exclusively
or nearly so, to few of the new States
IF Congress passes this bill there is danger
that it will pave the way to another, grant
ing to each State all the Federal lands
within its borders; than which there
could be no legislation more threatening to
the interests of the common people and
settlers. 1t was a great mistake when
Congress granted the sw,mp and tide lands
to the States. That act put it 10 the
power of the local Legislature to create a
conflict in the tenure of our land (before
the simplest in the world), from which has
resulted shadows more or less dense over
thousands of farms and loss of confidence
on the part of settlers in title 1t is best
for the whole country that the title tt all
the unsettled lands shall be derived from
the General Government, at low, fixed
and well-known price per acre. Let this
prerogative be passed over to State Legis-
latures and the result in few years would
be monopoly of the whole of what is now
public property, and general advance of
the price of unculivated land from 81 25
and So so per acre, as it now stands, to
SIS, $40 or $40. according to quality or
location, as we have seen the result of our
local land monopolies.
4 he public lands had better be let alone,
and the receipts from their sales be appro
priated as they now are, to the general
revenues of the United ates.-G Union.

AN ADVERSE REPoRT.-The Commits
tee of the Judiciary of the United States
Senate have unanimously reported against
the proposition that the late amendments
to the Constitution conferred the right Of
suffrage upon women, and the friends Of
that movement will have therefore to either
secure an amendment to the Federal Con-
sttution giving them the desired right, or
accomplish their object by influencing the
individual State to comply with their de-
maud.

Economy OF LONG BURROWS A Ger
man agricultural Journal observes that
farmers usually pay very little attention to
the length of furrows to be plowed in a field,
aud yet greater waste of time and labor is
the necessary consequence of suitable ar
rangements in this respect. The turning
Of the plow and the commencement of a rev
furrow require more exertion in the plow
man and team than continued work on
straihgt line and how great may really be
the loss of time from frequent Interruptions
in short turns may be shown by the follow
ing calculation In field 225 feet long
FIVE and half hours out of ten are usei in
redirecting the plow with lenetb of SIS
feet four hours are sufficient for the purpose,
and when the pillow can proc ed without
interruption for 800 feet only one and half
hours of the daily working time are con
sumed. Hence the rule to make the fur
rows as long as circumstances will admit.
