TO disburSe his money himself, instead Of
putting it in their hands, attacked him
roughly. and Bennett in turn, has sub
ieeted them TO a microscopic examina-
JiOn. Quite a number of interesting
facts have been developed. For in

city, governed and managed by boards, -

where Bennett gets them. OF the sew
enty. eight are Catholic, and the eight
disburse over half of the entire amount,
at a cost of S23, 600. To make the COM
pariSOn more sharp and distinct he gives
this instance: The House of Refuge,
Protestant charity, collected and dis
bursed $4,000. at a cost of $33, 23S,
while a Catholic ProteetOry, the same
kind of charity, expended 1865, 900 at
a cost of $40, ,374l And Bennett peril
nentiy asks-Where does the money go
tot What do the demure individuals in
black gloves who collect it do with it2
And no one. as yet, has answered his
question The fact is there is a small
army of professional philanthrOpists who
live, move, and have their being by the
collection and disburSing of money for
charities. of every dollar contributed
so many cents stick TO their fingers in
some way. Mr.. Bennett is doing the
charitable a good work Sv his timely

THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.
Saving the cities on the Pacific Coast
New York has more Chinese, resident.
than any city in what may be called the
civilized world. They are huddled to-
gsther in the most squalid part of the
city, and though they live wretehedlv,
they manage to save something every
day, and many of them are absolutely
accumulating property. The emigrants
are. to a large extent, men, but they all
marry after they have been here time.
1t is a singular fact that Chinese men
find their wives among the Irish The
Irish women of the lower grades have
no objection to marrying the pig-tailed
Oriental, and they all testify to the fact
that they make good, kind husbands.
The progeny of these MOngOICeltO mar
riageS are larger than the Chinese, quite
rs nimble, 1.-the and active, and very
much stronger. But it Is a curious mix,
sn't it.

Isn't this descent from the sublime

HATS AND THINGS,
it costs something to be a fashionable

bonnet, without flowers or feathers,
costs $50, and one as cheap as any wO-
man of pretensiOn would wear costs $50.
Then a Spanish Mantilla to suit that
