GREAT row was recently created among the
Chinese employed in the Beaver Falls (Ps.)
cutlery works, by the attempt on the part Of
their employers to suppress gambling and
opium-eating among the Celestials. They
quit work and marched through the streets,
armed with knives and hatchets, and for a

we're finally pacifed, but many of them will go
back to California, where opium and gambling
can be indulged to their hearts content. -.

New York paper makes the startling state
ment that there are between 1000 and 5000
children who have been kidnapped from Italy
and are held in slavery in the large cities Of
the United States, New York being the great
central entrepot. These children are sold daily,
at private auction, at prices varying from 800
to $500 for boys, and from 800 to $500 for
girls. Where the girls are exceptionally pretty,
the prices rule higher.

CAPT. JACK, in an interview with Gen. Davis,
entered into Q long defense of his course, clos
ing his speech with this statement Bogus

an indication of the strength of the farmers
associations in Iowa, il may be noted that q

The Pitt River Indians have turned over to
Gen. Davis eleven Modoc refugees. 1t is said
there are now but three or four Of the tribe ut
large....H Gen. Davis had been let alone
Capt. Jack and his confederstes would have
been hanged two or three weeks ago. Ropes
and scsffolding were ready, and the murderer
had been formally warned that they were TO
expiate their crimes on the morrow, when-on
the very eve Of the execution q Government
courier arrived with instructions from Wash
ington to hold the Modocs until further orders.
Gen. Davis explains, in q very straightforward
way, his reasons for the prompt
justice he meant to deal to these
assassins. To try them by 3 military
commission would have consumed fully
six months, to say nothing of trouble and ex-
pense. It did not seem advisable to turn them
over to the civil authorities. The Modocs
were prisoners OF war: the murders with
which they were charged were committed
while they were In arms against the United
States, and took place both in Oregon and
California, raising troublesome questions Of
jurisdiction between the courts OF those
States.
The most remarkable game of billiards ever

B~essunssTs s7e go nade IN average of
nearly eighteen, the largest On record.
