Immigrants from China.

The number of Chinese immigrants
who have arrived during the past three
years is largely in excess of the arrivals
from the same source during any previ-
Gus corresponding period, and, accord
ing to Authentic advices, the number
that will arrive within the ensuing year
will far exceed that Of any year yet past.
Every steamer and sail vessel sailing for
this port from the Orient is now taxed
to its utmost capacity by this class of
immigrants, and although the accommo-
dations are greater than at any time
gone by, only an intinitesimal proper
ton of those desiring to come to these
shores can be accommodated. The ma
jority of these immigrants belong to the
lowest classes, and their condition is lit
tie better than that of slaves. The
steamer Great Republic arrived yester-
day with 943 of these people. Two
more steamers from China will arrive
this month.
In addition to the arrivals by the
Great Republic, the steamer China has
arrived within fortnight with 976
Chinese the ship Avonmore, 43S ship
Atlantic, 1888 ship Her Royal High
ness, 20, and the bark William H. Besse
brought Alt. The following tabular
statement shows the number of Chinese

An Arkansas FisherMan's Catch.

A little distance from the ferry landing
on the Arkansas shore, opposite this
city, is moored boat owned by Dave
Robinson, fisherman, on which he and
his family live. About o'clock Wednes-
day evening his little daughter Ada, aged
about 10 years, fell from the boat into
the river and was drowned. Every effort
possible was made to recover her body,
but without success, and it was given up
for lost in the belief that the current
had carried it down the stream beyond
recovery.
About daylight yesterday the fisher
man made his daily visit to his trot lines,
which were laid in the river about 200
yards below his boat. He threw out the
graphing hook, caught the lines and
proceeded to haul in; but before many
feet of the line had been recovered, he
drew to the surface the dead body of his
little daughter, fastened by the dress to
one of the fish-hooks. The child's body
had been carried down by the current
until caught by the trot line, where it
was held fast and fished up the next
morning by the father.-Menaphis Asa-

A Boys Composition.

At school examination in the village
of Irvington, N. Y, Ebenezer Grubb, a
boy of II, read the following compost
ton on the horse:
The horse is very useful animal, and
has front teeth to chew hay. He has
also two pairs of legs, one pair on each
end of him, and tail on the last end of
him. There are different kinds of
horses - the clothes-ho being the
mildest and cheapest, as one of this
kind doesn't eat oats nor nothin'. That's
what makes the clothes-ho so thin,
suppose. Then there is the nag, which
is only frame of a horse.
The nightmare is not horse; she
sits heavy on boys stomach at night,
when he has eaten too much. The colt
is a baby horse, and soothing syrup
won't make him keep quiet when he
feels like frolicking. A baby horse is
hard to ride, especially by boy that
amt dashed onto him. A colt is worse
than mule for kicking, and he always
kicks boy in the wrong place, and
makes him feel awful mean when he rubs
the boy off his back by brushing him
against fence.
The color of horse depends upon
the owners fancy. Some people prefer
reddish horse, and others little horse
reddish. AS for me, give me quiet
pony and good whip. I'd make him
go, you bet, especially if other boys
were looking at me.
p. S.-The horse differs from the COW
in not giving milk.

HO [! Boys.

If you are running along in hurry,
and stumble over brickbat, and spill
your dinner pail, all right. Kick the
brickbat out of the way, pick up your
dinner. pail, save your bread and butter
if you can; if not, whistle Hail Col
umbia" and run on to school. 1t won't
do to be put down by brickbat. Take
hold of your book as a squirrel takes
hold of hickory-nut. BE bound to get
the meal out, if there is any in it. Be
cause Tom Lazy-chops wants to be a
fool, is no reason why you need be one.
Do your best every time; and then,
when the teacher calls out the classes,
you can walk up like man, and tell him
to go ahead.

about fifty feet the start, the race com

Stamped Envelopes.

The general public is probably little
aware of the extent to which the United
States government has carried the manu-
facture of stamped envelopes, which are
every year more and more taking the
place of the unstamped envelopes sold
by stationers. The first issue of stamped
envelopes was made by the Postoffice
Department, June ~, 1853, and during
the following year the entire product of
this kind of envelopes was only 5, 900, 900.
The second year the product increased
to 81, 1884 900, the third year to %, 451,-
725, the fourth to 33, 764, $50, and the
yearly product averaged within about
100000 of the latter number until
1867, when the demand suddenly in
creased, and the product for that year
was 63, O86, $50. Since that time the de-
mand has steadily increased until the
product in 1870 reached SO, 2S9, 500,
1871, 1O4, $780, 75; 1872, 1925, $50;
1873, 131, 172,6 900; 1874, 136, AIS, 500,
and during the past year, ending June
80, 1f9, 766, 400 were produced. The
production promises to be fully third
larger than the last figures the present
wear, which shows that the demand is
steadily and rapidly growing. The ag-
gregate production of stamped envelopes
during the twenty three years since the
first issue has been 1919, 1863, 800. =

Freddy'a PRAYER.

A bright-eyed boy of four years was
saying his prayers the other night to his
mother, and with his hands folded and
eyes closed, he sweetly said
I" Now lay me down TO sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep;
II should die before l wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take.
God bless papa, mamma and ="
He stopped all at once, opened his
eyes and exclaimed
Mother, mother, what shall say if
/ have been bad boy1"
you should not stop to ask ques-
tons, my son while you are saying your
prayers, replied his mother.
But, mother, have been bad; what
shall sayi"
"Ask God to forgive you but you
should say your prayers all through
when you begin, without stopping.
His question answered, he reverently
folded his hands, and closing his eyes,
continued,
"And will God forgive me for killing
a hoptoad with big stick, and throw
ing it down big hole. Amen"

And made to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out OF sticks;
What brave hats made OF paper
The dinnos-bell psals loud and WELL
To tell the millunan's coming;
And then the rush of " steam-car trains p"
Sets al our ears a-humming.
How oft 1 say, "what shall do

No laughing, trihing matter.

How soon but tall, deep-yoiced men

In spite of the convincing testimony
developed in the trial of Bishop Lee,
the leader of the Mountain Meadow Mas
sacre, the jury Jailed to convict him.
This might have been expected. To
convict Lee would be to condemn the
whole Mormon Church. Already re-
ports reach us of threatened outrages by
Indians baptized into the Mormon
Church, and this is doubtless the first
result of the failure of the late trial.
The Mormon leaders, emboldened by
their success in the Territorial courts,
and having thousands of willing redskins
at their command, will now, probably,
seek to avenge themselves against those
witnesses who dared to testify against
them. But, if we mistake not, they will
soon reach the end of the rope, and
speedy and bloody retribution will yet BIZ
meted out to them by the soldiers Of
Uncle Sam.
