During the years 1SG3-Gf and 1865, no
Chinese females came to this coast and only
one arrived during 1886. The greatest
number of Chinese arrived in any one year
since 1SG2-G3 was 1865 in 1S12-13. The
number of Chinese who have departed during
the same period is comparatively small, but
cannot be definitely stated. The Chinese on
their arrival here are carted to the Chinese
quarters, where they are taken in charge by
the six companys until they can b" listribut'
ed IN lots here and there, as the rnnorunity
for contract labor may permit" Franz

WHO ARE THE POOR ,
BY CALEB DyEN.

WHO are the poor Not always those
WHO have the least 10 show
Nor are they always found among
The darkest haunts Of woe;
For one may wear the richest dress
And roll in wcalth5 galore,
And still in Heavens perfect s.--l
BE poor, aye, very poor
The brightcs. skies may ever shine
Above the mansion proud,
And he who dwel!s within It's walls
With want may ne'er be bowed;
The sweetest music ever heard
May feed his listening ear,
And mirth and pleasure fill the cup
OF all the gladstone year
Yet poor indeed must be the man
VINO owns such JOYS as these,
If c'er his heart is colby closed
To others miseries
And vain is all his store OF gold
If sclfshly he lives,
And, always rcapin@ haryea.s new,
No charity e'er gives.
Real poverty is in the heart,
It's want Of love for man,
It's failure to perform good,
TO bless when Ger you can;
'Tis lack Of love and lack Of faith
IN God and His decree,
That the greatest virtue one can own
Is Loving charity
so let us, then, do all We can
To help each other on,
And show that wealth Of mind and heart
Which lives when gold is gone;
And let us keep this truth in view
Where'er our steps may lead:
4 man may be a millionaire
And yet be poor indeed.

Three Children of One Family Killed in Half
AN Hour.
From the viroqua CwIs.) Independent, July Il.

From the Nrogga (Wls.) Independent, JGIy II.
A family residing in the western part of
Richland county lost three children of five
wears of age and under, last week. The old.
est. about five years, and her younger brother,
found hens nest Under a barn, and, reach
ing her hand under TO get the eggs, she was
bitten by huge rattlesnake twice in the
hand. With scream she withdrew her hand,
when the brave little fellow said he wasn't
afraid of the old hen peckiHg him, and put
his little hand in and received the thrust of
the rattlesnake's fangs. The mother hearing
the screams of the children set down on the,
floor boiler of hot water and fastened TO
their rescue, who from their screams and cries
for help were in danger, and to her horror
found both fatally bitten by the reptile which
had taken possession of the hens nest. She
seized her little ones in her arms and ran
into the house, and on entering what horror
met her gael Her babe had fallen into the
boiling waterl In less than half sn hour
death relieved the three children from their
terrible sutfcrings.

verpoOl. At . late hour this afternoon it
had been impossible to obtain complete
list of the creditors OF Duncan. Sherman
& Co.
The names OF the principal creditors were
declined for publication, as thc submission
interested in the failure would, in the esti-
nation of the firm, be neither of use to the
creditors as body or to those principally
interested. Some time must elapse before
it will be possible to submit detailed state
ment of the condition of the house. The
assets can only be guessed at, but will be
less than the liabilities. About three-fifths
Of the debts of tho firm are held abroad.
Mr. Duncan is said TO be deeply affected
by the misfortune which has overtaken the
house, but he was to-day personally occu-
pied with counsel and otherwise in adjust
ing his affairs preparatory to definitely an
nOuncing to his creditors the condition of
the house. At three o'clock Judge Ship
man, as assignee, took possession Of all the
books and papers in the banking house. .
The Erie railway is in no way affected by
