AND now Australia is likely to be
oyerrun by Chinese laborers. A large
humber have already located in the por-
tion known as Greersland, and many
more are awaiting their report. The
nearest ports of Australia are but four
teen days. sail from Hong Kong, and as
the climate and surroundings are favor
able, the prospects are that Australians
may look for large influx OF Chinese
labor. The indications are, however,
that the movement will be opposed by
the laboring classes of that country, as
it is likely to prove detrimental to their
interests in regard to wages. The result
of the emigration of so many Chinese to
this country is beginning to be felt in
the Celestial Empire in the way of Great
ing migrative disposition, and the time
is not far distant when its citizens will
be familiar to all civilized parts Of the
world. What the result Of this will be
is not difficult to foretell. Although the
Chinese cling tenaciously to their Gus
toms. they are certain to gather some
good and to accept some of the results
OF higher civilization by their contact
with the outside world, and from this
will arise an advance in the thoughts
and customs and systems of the race
and gradual enlargement of their views
and capacities and an Improvement Of
the condition of the Empire.

The New York Sun takes up the idea
first presented in these columns Of util-
izing the grasshoppers, and shows at
length that it can and ought to be done.
1t proves that the ancients not only ate
but esteemed them a real luxury, and
concludes that the utilization of this i'm.
mense world of insect life as means Of
nutriment would be no new thing, but
should be rather considered one Of the
ssost artsv that can and ought to be at
once revived. The writer in the Sun
holds that the existing prejudice against
the grasshopper as an article Of food is
m absurd repugnance bred only In ig-
norance. In the South of France the
people have suffered almost as much
from the devastation OF their crops by
these pests as we have in this country,
and IL seems an attempt to induce the
people to eat them has alrea dy
been made. An eminent French nat.
uralist, who had given the subject
much thought. did the first modern

THE new system of the utilization OF
coal dust by pressing 1T into solid blocks
and making it equal to coal for fuel, has
been recently tested at Harrisburg, and
is likely to prove success in every par
hcular, and to make valuable a large
quantity of matter which was formerly
an incumbrance to coal miners and deal
ers. There are now millions of tons OF
this dust heaped up among the coal
mines of this and other States, and the
miners, instead of being troubled to ge,
rid of 1t, will now find themselves in
possession of bonanza, the accumula'
tion of many years of mining, and will
be able TO readily dispose of the mate
sial at good rates. The new machine
produces solid coal from this dust at the
rate of one hundred tons per day. The
product is said to equal ordinary Goa
tor manufacturing and heating par
poses.

A Great Lawyer.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Journal thus writes of great criminal
lawyer: Lachaud is man OF fine and
fantastic humor, of which he continually
gives evidence in his public pleadings,
but underneath it are all the pathos anu
the pain naturally aroused in any noble
nature by constant contact with crime
and suffering.
He is a well-known figure on the Paris
streets, and his rOtund figure and fresh,
clean-shaven face, set off to singular ad-
vantage by a black hat carelessly be-
slowed ON the back of his head, are
always hailed with hilarity and pleas
ure by all classes, even by the criminals,
who feel that he is going through Gus
tomary but useless form in attempting
to keep them out Of the executioner's
hands.
Seen for moment as he passes swiftly
by, Lachaud produces ON the observer
the effect of little man overloaded with
papers and documents, who is fearful
lest he may not arrive somewhere with
them at an appointed hour. In court he
10 astonishing; his precision, his mighty
faculty of combining facts and narraLing e
them 80 that each one engraves itself in
the hearers memory, and his curious in-
fections of voice and method OF gesture,
all betray the man Of genius.
He is not like some of the great GRIM
inal advocates of the time, repulslvely
cold and heartless. He does not make a
mock Of death and jest of shame; there
is no uncleanness about his lips. Some
of his sayings are brilliant yet fraught
with tears. ''What," ne said one day to
some philosopher planning millennium,
people who will Killp' His tenderness
and exquisite pity when defending a
young girl accused of infanticide, and
the grandeur Of the malediction which
he heaped upon her seducer, once brought
all France to his feet in tears.
He smote the public conscience and
did great good. There is nothing the
atrical in the manner in which he weeps
over the criminals; there is something
terrible in the way in which he defends
a murderer, grimly using his talents to
give the wretched creature fair play, and
sometimes working an excitabIe jury
| into such a frenzy that it is completely
at his power. He is terrible man for
juries. Que word will sometimes pro-
duce more effect on them when uttered
by him than 10, 600 falling from the lips OF
| a common man could do. He goes into
| the cells of his criminals and studies
| them there.
He looks down into their hearts just
as physician would examine their ner.

cell of man or woman whom he is to
defend he knows every minutest detail

THE warm rainy weather Of the last
few weeks is the very kind to generate
disease and bring on an epidemic. 1t,
therefore, behooves people to use all pos.
sible care to guard against its effects; es-
pecially in matters of diet every pre-.
caution should be taken. Unhealthful
articles ought to be let alone altogether,
and only fresh and pure vegetables,
meat and fruits, of any kind, be permit
ted on the table. These precautions

"Melican man go quick = Kau sune

When they reached the clearinghouse
the gentleman, addressing one of the at

"Right this way" says Charley.
"Yes, me come right along alongee."
He is shown into a room where the
mercury ranges at 120 degrees, and told
to sit there until he began to perspire.
On entering, he suddenly paused, and,
facing Charley with woe-begone ex.
preston of countenance, remarks:
"Bakee Chinaman! Joomatism all

But Charley retires, locking the door
behind him, and Kau-Sune becomes

his voice:

Charley approached through an oppo-

"Come along, and don't make such a

bake such a lean looking cat-eater as

should go would be the furnace itself.
This silenced him for the time being;
but, as the attendant retired, he began
again his eXpostulations, and exclaimed
through the key-hole, in more Of a plead

"He Kau-Sune like to take hot bake

Tracking Murderer Ten Years.

A remarkable case, which illustrates
the theory of final retribution for crime,
has just been recorded on the records of
the Secret Service. In 1864, in Clear
field county, Pennsylvania, was held
meeting to express a remonstrance OF.
Southern sympathizers against the war
and the approaching draft. Ex-Goy-
ernor Bigler and Senator Wallace, whose
home is at Clearfield, made the principal
speeches, and the latter offered reso-
luton expressing bitter rebel spirit,
in which twas agreed that bitter re-
sistance be made against conscription.
This was the beginning OF a deter
mined opposition, and Colonel Cyrus
Butler, who had already lost leg in the
war, was sent there with body OF men
to preserve order and enforce the draft.
A man named Joseph Lounsberry was a
leader of the opposition, and shot Butler
dead in the street. This led tosa deter
mined movement, and over three hum
dred persons were arrested for resisting
the Governments; but Lounsberry es-
capped. A member of the Secret Service,
then an officer OF the Government and q
friend of Colonel Butler, told the wife of
the latter that il he lived long enough he
would bring the murderer to justice, and
from that time to this has been living
with this purpose in his mind.
have not space to tell of the fruitless
searches, the innumerable clues he has
caught and lost, but with persistent pa
tience and energy he has kept it up, and
at last has Lounsberry, who has been a
conscience-driven wanderer for ten
years, behind the bars of the Pittsburg
prison. Last March the, detective re-
ceiVed from an unknown source an
anonymous letter addressed to a person
at Nauvoo, Pa, then unknown to him, in
which were only these words:
DEAR SER: This will introduce John

derer of Colonel Butler. The man was
startled when his arrest was announced,
but told the detective he did not regret
being caught, for he was weary Of wan
dering. Mrs. Butler, who lives at Rock
vile, Jefferson county, Pa, visited the
Eprisoner recently, and was surprised to
ind him the man who had visited her
house frequently on different errands,
but without any definite object. Whaf
his object WAS in visiting her he will not
explain, but he says he never meant her
harm. 1t is probable he was tempted "a

THE religious community of England
known as the Peculiar People, are just
now receiving some attention from the
authorities, and one of their number,
John Downes, has been indicted Tor and
found guilty of manslaughter in failing
to provide medical attendance for his
infant son during sickness, which re-
suited in death. The popularity OF
the Peculiar People is that they
do not believe in giving medical
attention to their sick, but after laying
on of hands and amounting with oil &C.
cording to scriptural injunction, they
resign them to the LORDS care, doing
nothing further except to furnish them
nourisbment and pray over them. In
the case mentioned the infant son of one
OF the members died from Inflammation
of the lungs, having had no medical at.
tention. The opinion of practitioners
being that its life might have been saved,
the matter was taken up by the courts
and after long trial the father convicted
Of manslaughter. The jury admitted
that he believed honestly but enormously
that medical attention was not neces.
sary, but held that it was the duty of the
law to see that beliefs and practices
dangerous to the lives of persons
be suppressed, and that parents OF
guardians should be compelled to pro
vide medical attention for their sick
when needed. They stated in substance
that while they did not wish to interfere
with religious belief, they felt it their
duty to check any fanaticism which was
likely to jeopardize the lives of others.
The Society is about to open a large
building, to be called House of Faith,
for the reception of those who are hope
lessly sick and for their treatment by
prayer. What effect the recent decis-
ion OF the Courts will have upon them
remains to be seen. They are in other
regards a respectable and law-abiding
people, and aside from this popularity
are generally respected.
