that has made the employment of them
at all desirable. AS to economy, no
rule applies to them all; some Of them
spend very small portion Of their
wages, while others spend nearly all in
luxuries. Their savings are almost in
variably sent to China or to their agents
in San Francisco for investment. New
Englandoaeed have nc fears concerning
Chinese immigration. There are only a
few Industries in which they can COM
pete with eastern laborers, and it takes
them long time to learn trade. The
Cinnamon at Belleville, N. j., are en-
ployed in a laundry where their COM
petitors are mostly girls. In a few
special cases of this kind they perhaps
might be employed, but the introduce
ton of this inferior kind of labor is not
likely to be at all general in the east.
Wages are so low now that they do not
care to come, and in making bargains
they always expect guarantee of
steady employment with prices figured
on a gold basis. The doubtful success
Of the experim ent in this place will
certainly not have a tendency to in
crease Chinese immigration in the east.

The Man Who was Scalped.

A seedy individual stood at the cor
ner of Fourth and Walnut. It was
midnight and the moon glimmered
among the floating clouds. A we'll
dressed citizen approached. The seedy
one planted himself in the centre OF
the sidewalk. "See here, mister, can't
you lend me quarter to rent a bed
for the night? Pom my word haven't
slept under a roof for six long months. u
"Where did you come from?"
"Black Hills. I'm the man that was
scalped. You heard about me, ]
s'pose?"
eyes. I read something in the
papers about a man being scalped by
the Indians: but you can't be the indi-
vidual, because you have not lost your
hair"
"Oh, it growed on; just feel them
Jumps on the top. It's dreadful
thing to be scalped by Indians, I don't
want it to happen again, tell you
Feel how tight my hair sticks to my
head. It's glued on"
The citizen put his hands on the
mans head and declared he could see
no difference between his hair and that
of other men. He told the fellow that
he was an imposter, and passed on.
When he had proceeded about two
blocks he put his hand to his vest
pocket to draw out his watch, but the
ticker had disappeared. Then he was
