Catching Cinnamon.

In the collection of poll-taxes from the
Chinese, in San Francisco, the Assessors
deputies have always hada good deal OF
difficulty in preventing the transfer OF re-
ceipts from one Chinaman to another,
whereby a single receipt is made to do du-
ty several times over, and the city robbed
of much of her legitimate revenue from
this source. For the purpose of detect
ing and frustrating this imposition, Asses
sOr Badlam has devised system of mark
ing receipts when they are issued to Chi
namen in such way as to indicate the
prominent external characteristics OF the
mans physique. For instance, one des-
ignation points to a MongOl "under thir-
ty years of age, short in stature, no scars
on head or neck :" another signifies man
"over thirty years of age, tall, with small
pox marks :" third an "Old man, very
fat, scars on head or neck;' a fourth a
" cross-eyed Chinaman :" fifth " Chi
naman very lean, with small pox marks,
and so on. Thus, if heather on the
verge of three-score-and-ten, about as fat
as match, and with a cOuntenance dot
ted with smallpox marks, on being asked
if he has paid his poll-tax, presents re-
ceipt whose designation shows that it was
issued to young man, very fat, with no
smallpox marks, the deputy quietly re-
marks, " | guess not. " and "goes for that
heather Chinee." The plan is found to
work excellently, and many Mongol has
already been brought to grief by It's
means

The thick boughs OF great oak and his

CURED on the Yellowstone. We had
camped about two O'Clock in the afternoon
in the river va. .ey, and turned the mules
out to Craze near by. Back from the
river was an almost inaccessible bluff, two
hundred and fifty feet high, commanding
a view of the scenery for miles around.
About two hours after pitc ing our tents
we happened to cast glance at the top
of this bluff, and there, to the astonish-
ment of everybody, was solitary mule on
its very highest point, coOlly and calmly
taking a survey of the surrounding coun-
try. The peculiar exaggeration which
the atmosphere in that latitude gives to
objects seen against the sky made him
seem about twelve feet high. There he
stood in calm and lofty serenity, manifest
ing no emotion whatever except of perfect
satisfaction. How the animal got up there
nobody knew. What he went for was still
less evident. There was good grass on
the plain; the bluff was perfectly barren.
The mule had travelled twenty miles that
day, and could not be lacking exercise.
Two cOnjectures offered themselves to the
mind; he had gone up there
on volunteer picket duty, or else to take
view of the scenery. But there was only
one adequate reason: he climed that hill
because he was mule. And so as result
of this effort to fathom and analyze the
mule, we come hack to the very prOpO-
sition with which we started, the simple
of identity. The mule is
mule. What more could be said ?-S. J.

"Why," said the other, 81 meant
blue pig with black tail, or else some
other color. But what could you mean
by saying, Il have not got one, and III

"why, of course, if had should have

The explanation was satisfactory, and
peace was accordingly concluded.

foolish as the war of the blue pig with a

As the report that we are very wealthy
has gone abroad among our subscribers,

the money, we hasten TO say that the re-

poverty has struck us square, and had Il

Sweet the memory is 10 me
Ofa land beyond the sea,
Where the waves and Mountains meet
Where amid her mulberry trees
Sits Amalf In the heat,
Bathing ever her white feet
In the tdeiess, summer seas
In the middle Of the town,
Prom its fountains in The hills,
Tumhling through the narrow gorge,
The CannctO rushes down,
Turns the great wheels Of the mills,
Lifts the hammers OF the forge
'Tis a stairway. not a street,
That ascends the deep ravine,
Wheie the torrent leaps between
Rocky walls that almost meet.
Toiling up from stair 10 stair
Pea girls their burdens bear;
Sunburnt daughters of the soil,
Stately figures tall and straight;
What memorable fate
Dooms them 10 this life OF toll:
Lord Of vineyards and of lands,
Par above the convent stands.
On its terraccd walk alOOf
Leans a monk with folded hands,
Placid, satisfied. serene,
Looking down upon the scene
Over wall and red tiled roof;
Wondering unto what rood end
All this t0il and traffic tend,
And why all men cannot he
Free from care, and free from pain
And the sordid love of gain,
And as indolent as he.
Where are now the freighted barks
Prom the marts of east and west
Where the knights in iron sarks
JOuneying 30 the Holy Land,
Glove Of steel upon the hand,
Gross Of crimson on the breastg
Where the pomp Of camp and courtS
Where the pilgrims with their prayers?
Nhere Tie merchants with their wares,
And their gallant brigantines
sailing safely into port,
Chased by corsair Algeriness'
Vanished like feet Of cloud.
Like passing trumpet blast,
Are those splendors of the past,
And the commerce and the crOwdil
Fathorns deep beneath the seas
Lie the ancient wharves and quays,
Swallowed by the engulnng waves;
Silent streets, and vacant halls,
Ruined roofs and towers and walls;
Hidden from all mortal eyes
Deep the sunken city lies;
Even cities have their gravesi
This is an enchauted landi
Round the headlands far away
Sweeps the blue Salernian bay
With Its sickle of white sand,
Further still and furtbermOst
ON the dim discovered coast
PRstum with its ruins lies,
And its roses all in bloom
seem 20 tinge the fatal skies
OF that lonely land OF doom.
On his- terrace, high in air,
Nothing doth the good monk care
For such worldly themes as these.
From the garden just below
Little puffs Of perfume blow,
And a sound is in his ears
OF the mur1nur of the bees
In the shining chestnut-trees;
Nothing else he hceds or hears
All the landscape seems 10 swoon
In the happy afternoon;
Slowly DER his senses creep
The encroaching waves of sleep,
And he sinks as sank the town,
Unresisting, fathoms down
Into caverns cool and deepl
Walled about with drifts of snow,
Hearing the fierce north wind blow,
Seeing all the landscape white,
And the river cascd in ice,
Comes this memory of delight,
Comes this vision unto me
OF long lost Paradise
In the land beyond the sea.

Nice Butter.

A grocer in Ottawa, Canada. was made
the recipient of a valuable present one day
last week. A young woman entered his
store offering butter for sale. He inform
ed her that he had a sufficient quantity
and did not wish to buy any. The woman
asked permission to leave her basket in
the store while she went to see friend.
She left, promising to return in ten min
utes for her property. She did not re-
turn, and few minutes later sounds at
tracted his attention. and, on tracing them
to heir source, he found that they came
from the basket of butter. He raised the
cloth which covered the basket and dis
covered baby. The woman did not re-
turn to claim her property.
