SOME time since the Enterprise, with
Characteristic truthfulness, denied the
existence of any law by which "a China
man could become a citizen of the
United States. 1t went further and
boldly asserted that under the Burling-
anne treaty Chinese were debarred
from becoming citizens. In the face of
this denial comes the intelligence that
Choy Away, of Washington, District of
Columbia, was made citizen and
voter on the 9Th day of last November,
thus taking precedence of Ling Wing,
who was recently naturalized at Hart
ford, and who was supposed to be the
first native of China who had attained
to the full privileges of American citi-
zenship in the Atlantic States. The
Enterprise may continue to deny the
existence of laws for the naturalization
of Cinnamon, but meantime the courts
will admit them to citizenship all the
same as if it did not

THE CONDITION of ALASKA.

The condition of Alaska must be
pitiable. Capt. w. H. Dali, of the
United States Coast Survey, declares
that there is literally no civil law, no
government, no redress for injury. no
protection for whites or natives, no
legal authority for settlement, and no
punishment for crime, in that in
hospitable territory. The military
look after offenders within the limits OF
their reservations, and the revenue
officers have authority over offenders
against the revenue laws only. Thus,
says Captain Dali, we have the
anomaly that for violating the revenue
laws an offender can be siezed and
sent 1000 miles for trial, while for
numbering on officer no punishment
can be inflicted, and no court has
jurisdiction. 1t thus appears that the
laws which govern its inhospitable
iceberg are as ungenial as the climate.
The Alaska Commercial Company,
which holds a lease. granted by Con-
gress, of the seal fisheries, is the
supreme power of the land and sea.
It is the creates. monopoly ever created
in the United States, and would not be
tolerated in a civilized community.
Captain Dali says it virtually enslaves
the natives, who have neither protec-
ton nor redress, and is much more
overbearing and 4despotic in its deal
ings with them than the old Russian
Company. Under that comp<ny the
natives elected an arbiter who stood
between them and the inscriptions
traders, but now the arbiter is elected
by the Commercial Company, and is
one of its salaried officers. AS his
lease of Office and salary are at the dis
posal of the monopoly, the benefits de-
rived by the natives from this
90 between can be readily conjec-
tured. Under these circumstances the
condition of those natives must be that
of abject slavery, and undoubtedly they
regret the day that the Russian Bear,
for consideration, relinquished his un-
disputed supremacy of that frigid re-
gion to the American Eagle. The Ad-
ministration and the moral party which
upholds it, with al! their pretended
sympathy for the down-trodden and OPP
pressed of every race and cline, foster
system of servitude and oppression
under the shadow of the Stars and
Stripes which, according to the best
authenticated reports of those who
have seen its workings, is unparalleled
in the civilized world.

THE stock of head gear kept for the
United States Army is simply astound-
ing. The number of enlisted men is
1881 and according to the Quarter
master Generals report, there are in
store for that number 242 528 hats and
800, ass forage caps. No danger is
therefore to be apprehended from
corner on military hats and caps. and
it is not surprising that big Indians
like old Winnemucca sport one occa-
sionally.

sEx- SENATOR CARL ,ScHURz sailed for
Europe yesterday, Prior TO his depar-
iture q banquet was given him in New
York City, at which William M. Evarts
presided and large number OF prom
inent citizens were present. In response
to toast wishing him a prosperous
VOYAGE and safe return, the uistln-
guished guest. in an eloquent speech,
alluded to the course of the Republican
party and his reasons for severing his
connection Herewith, and in conclusion
remarked "What a great blessing it
would be to have q full grown states
man in the Presidential chair next year,
when we celebrate our one-nundredth
anniversary" This was certainly
very uncomplimentary allusion to the
present occupant of the Presidential
chair, but Schurz has had the reputa-
ton of expressing his honest convic-
tons of public men and measures, and
a six years residence at Washington as
United States Senator afforded him
good opportunity of understanding the
subject he was talking about.

AN old and weather-worn trapper
was recently seen sauntering along the
main street of one of our Western viii
lagos. Pausing in front of little
meeting house for moment, he went
in and took his seat among the con-
gregation. The preacher was discours-
ing on the text of "the sheep and
the wolves" and had evidently been
drawing a contrast between the two
subjects. Says he: 1--WE who assemble
here from week to week and do our
duty, and perform our part, are the
sheep; now who are the wolves?" A
pause, and our friend, the trapper, rose
to his feet: Wa'al, stranger, rather
than see the play stopped, l will be
the wolves"' The preacher was van
pushed.

A BREATHING CAVE.

In the range Of the mountains in West
ern North Carolina known as the Fox
Range most singular phenomenon ex-
lists. 1t is o "hreathing cave In the
from it so strongly that person can't walk
against it, while in Wint,r the suction is
lust as great. The cool air from the noun
t,ins in Summer is felt for miles in direct
line from the cave. At times d most un-
pleasant oder is emitted upon the current
from dead carclsses of animals sucked in
and killed by the violence. The loss of
cattle and stock in that section in Winter
is accounted for in this way. They range
too near the mouth of the cave, and the
current carries them in. At times, when
the change from inhalation begins, the air
is fllri With various hairs of animals; not
frequently bones and whole carclsses are
found nriles from the place. Tho air has
been known to change materially in tenn
peraturc during exhalation from quito cool
to unpleasantly hot, whitening vegetation
within reach, and accompanied by a terri
bic roaring, gurgling sound, u pot boiling.
1t is unaccounted for by scientific men who
have examined, though no exploration Gun
take place. 1t is feared BY many that a vol
canic eruption may break forth. there some-
time. Such things have occurred in places
as little unexpected.

STONES OF SIZE.

Some Of the blocks Of granite used in
the construction Of the treasury building
at Washington are the largest ever moved
in this country, and wore all carried from
the eastern part of Maine. They were
transported to Washington hy water, and,
after their arrival there, moved by OK
power upon double pulley SYSTEM, u dis
tance Of two miles, to the spot where they
were wanted for use. The work of moving
them WAS performed with colnpartiye else,
not more than ely ht or ten yoke Of oxen
being employed to move II block of more
than seventy tons weight. The huted
pillars, great numbers OF which are used in
the building, are forty feet long and weigh
fifty tons, al least. The largest blocks,
thirty to forty feet square and thirty feet
thick, weighed upward Of seventy tons
The facility with which these large blocks
Were moved and fixed in their places was a
source Of wondcrmcnt, and seemed to nd,
mirng spectators to be the perfection Of
mechanical skill AMI ingenuity. And yet.
how insignificant the achievement when
compared with the triumphs of ancient art.
In the foundation Of the great temple of
the sun, at Balbcc, may still be seen, even
in the second course, stones which are
thirty-sevcn feet lon, aud nine feet thick

The majority of the boats used in the
parts dccked over, and carrying one mast
with an ordinary lIg-sail. They are from
eighteen to thirty feet in length. and arc
manned by crow of four or five mon, one
of whom is specially engaged for tho pur-
pose of hauling, while the rest are ers.
In some cases, the men own their own
boats, but generally they are hired for the
season, which extends from June to the
middle of October. No wages are paid
the remuneration consists in an equal share
of the produce of the fishing. The prof
its of u good diver reach as high as forty
pounds a season. Diving is practiced from
very carly age up to forty years, beyond
which few are able to continue the pur-
suit. 1t does not appear, however, that
practice has any tendency to shorten life,
although, as the diver approaches forty, he
is less able to compete with hisyoungcrand
more vigorous brother. The time during
which Il Syrian diver can remain under
water depends, Of course, on his age and
training. Sixty seconds is rcckoncd good
work, but there are rare instances of men
who are able to stay below eighty seconds.
The men on The coast, however, make ey-
trlor,linary statements MS to the length of
time their best lands are able to remain
under water, and eraycly assert that eight
and tc:l minutes are not impossibilites.
For the benefit of the curious in such mat
tcrs, we give description of the manner of
diving THE diver - naked Of course
with an open net around his waist for the
receptacle of the prizes, scizes with both
hands IN oblon% white stone, to which is
attached Il rope. and plunges overbolrl.
On arriving at the bottom, the stone is
deposited at his feet, and keeping hold of
the rope with one hand, the diver gr;lsps
and tears off the sponges within reach,
which he deposits in the net. He then, by
series of jerks to the rope, gives the sig
nal to those above, and is drawn up-very
thankful to once more breathe his native
air, one would imagine.

the mouth is parched and dyy on awakeing,
it is sign that the mouth hns been open

This habit should be overcome At all

speaking, keep the mouth firmly closed,
