no desire to become assimilated to our

two instances known where any Of
them had expressed u desire to become
citizens; they added nothing to the
material wealth of the community
taking away with them all that
they accumulated and not even
allowing their bones to rest on
American soil. This was question
which did not now concern the States

tional question, for the Pacific coast
was the gateway through which these
people would pour and finally spread
over the whole country. The memo
rials were referred TO the committee on

they must be elected for this specific

beyond this ii is q foul usurpation OF

Silent People.

We all reckon among our aqualnt-
ances some silent man CT woman
whose influence is felt, whose rarely
expressed opinion carries weight,
whose words, few indeed, but well
chosen, spoken in clear, harmonious
tones, go to the point and decide it.
We have all met with quite, we'll
read. and well-breed women whose
society We have sought and found an
ever-increasing thirst for-wOman
whose minds unfolded, leaf by leaf,
rare beauties, which made one feel
better for every hour spent with them
To know such women is 10 study
them, is to love them, to hunger for
their society, TO prize their presence.
to regret their absence, and to mOurA
them forever when they have passed
into the silent land To such wU-
men the world owes much, far more
than those who speak; these are the
women who make home happy and
life beautiful; to whom the cross
word, the impatienttone are strangers.
whose children are surprised at q
harsh tone, and who never fear the
blow they have no knowledge of;
these are they, who, saving nothing
of woman's rights, think the more Of
woman's duties, the chief Of which is
a woman's highest priviledge, making
home happy.
