FROM me brOOktyn Eagle.
NY COMPLAINING FRIEND: Thanks for your
good letter Of bad advice. You saw, how easv
10 give the lie to the wicked story, and thus end
1t forever.
But stop and consider. The story Is a whsle
it would be strange If some of them are not cor
rect, though doubt If any are. To give a gen
eral denial to such an encyclopedia of asser-
tions would be as vague and irrelevant as to
take up the Police Gazette, with its twenty-four
pages OF items, and say, ''This is all iie." So
extensive a libel requires (if answered at alb
special denial Of its several parts; and further
more, it requires, in this particular case, not
only the denial of things misstated, but truth
full explanation of other things that remain un-
stated and in mystery. In other words, the
false story Of met at all) should be confronted
and COMPOUNDED by the true one.
Now, my friend, you urge me To speak, but
when the truth is a sword Gods mercy some
times commands il sheathed.
If You think do not burn TO defend nv wife
ana little ones, you know not The fiery spirit
within me. But my wife'S heart Is more feun-
tain of charity, and quenches all resentments
She says: ''Let there be no suffering, save to
ourselves alone" and forSids vindfcstion to
the injury of others. From the beginning she
has stood with her hands on my lips, saying,
80 Hush" So when yOu prompt me to speak for
her you counterfeit her more Christian mandate
of silence.
Moreover, after ALL the chief victim of the
public displeasure is myself alone, and so long
as this Is happily the case I shall try, with
patience, to keep my answer within inv own
breast, lest it shoot forth like q thunderbolt
through other hearts. Yours truly,
THEODORE TILToN.

CHINESE SERVANTS A FAILURR.-Olive Har-
per, Of the st. Louis Globe, says: Chinese, as
servants, are . failure. You cannot make them
understand you entirely, and in spite of all your
teachings, though he may make your kitchen
clean As possible for it to be, he will, nexerthe-
less, surprise you some day by washing in the
bread pan or drying his head with your damask
table linen. He also has his own peculiar man
ner of doing all things, and he sprinkles the linen
he Is to iron BY taking his mouth full of water
and blowing it over the cloth dampening il very
evenly. We can stand that, even though il be
towels and napkins, but We naturally object
when he takes a m0uthful of pudding sauce
and spilters that all over your pudding
Then, too, they have . playful habit of pick
ing up uncOnsidered tribes and hiding them
away, and all the while wearing the most placid
Of smiles and innocent Of looks besides, thev
sometimes take Ratchet and chop you up
little IL they think you have money. About q
year ago, Mr.. Seuffiy, in Oakland, had let his
cook know that he had 5000 In the house. and
that night said cook, with another Chinaman
went in and chopped Mr.. and Mrs. Sauff1y up
pretty well-left both for dead, took the money.
