HAPPY AS A KING.

Love laughs at prison bars, and love
laughed in this instance at stern parents.
The Foster family were almost par
alyzed with fear for the safety of their
daughter. They would not believe that
she condescended to an elopement with
one so low in the social scale, but as he
was missing there could be no informa-
ton obtained, and opinion was divid-
ed between an abduction and an elope-
ment.
On Thursday the happy husband re-
turned to his post at the Water-works.
Then followed stormy scene between
him and his father-in-law, but the young
husband had the best of it. He says he
is abundantly able to take care of Ida,
and he don't ask any favors. She is with
his parents in Jersey City.

little shorter and not nearly such pow

by ball passing through the middle
third of the right thigh. Another ball
struck the center of the upper jaw and
broke down half of the left maxillary.
Neither of these wounds is necessarily
mortal. In the room adjoining is the
third man, by far the finest looking of
the whole gang, and apparently the
youngest. He is six feet two inches in
height, well proportioned, with brawny
arms and thick neck. His features are
well defined, with rather small nose,
Grecian type, well-cut lips, and express
i've mouth. The chin is prominent and
rounded. He has a small sandy mus
tache and beard of about two weeks
growth; but the most remarkable fea-
ture, after the chin and mouth, is the
heavy, projecting, capaciOus brow, such
as phrenOlogists would give men Of

man has two wounds, one an old one,
or rather of some days. standing, and
supposed to be the result of WheeIer's

His other wound is from ball entering

Going Into Bankruptcy.

The well-tried experiment of employ
ing Chinese labor in shoe manufacturing
at North Adams, Mass. has finally failed.
1t was begun in good faith, and by a
gentleman who had confidence in its
success, and is q philanthropist as we'll
as business man. Mr.. Sampson has
done all he could do to prepare the way
for a general introduction OF Chinese
Labor. But though he finds no fanlt
with them, and says they are industrious,
frugal, and sober, he does not propose to
increase the number of Chinese en-
ploves in his establishment, but is quite
willing TO engage American laborers to
fill the vacancies that occur. No other
manufacturer has introduced Chinese
labor, and all the real good their en-
ployment has done is to break the dicta-
ton of the Crispin organization. In fact,
the emplc yment of Chinese labor was
due in the first place to the cupidity OF
employers who wanted to break down
the labor unions and get work on their
own terms. But in San Francisco 1t has
been found that the Chinese no sooner
master the details of manufacturing
business than they take possession OF 1t.
The cigar manufacturers made great
hit when they engaged Chinese work
men; but no sooner had they fairly
learned the business than they absorbed
the whole of it and crowded the white
manufacturers out They present en
element of competition it is very diff
cult for our people to cope successfully
with, and all attempts to Americanize
them have thus far proved abortive.
Their characters are formed. They are
not plastic like the negro, but rigid and
unprogressive. They belong to an old
race, and their type of civilization has
been fixed for centuries. The main diff
Guilty we have to encounter in dealing
with them is the total absence of those
elements which enable one race TO adjust
itself to the standards of another people
and the circumstances of nation ike
ours. A thousand years of trading and
training would undoubtedly have a
marked effect on Chinese habits and
character, but the average American
can hardly afford to stay above ground
so long to see what comes from the
trial.-Neao York Graphic.

Mrs. Dix and the Highwayman.

In a visit, day or two since, to the
penitentiary at Allegheny City, Miss ID.
L. Dix, the American Florence Nightin-
gale, made an address to the prisoners
in which she related an incident in which
she was herself an actor. 1t occurred
many years ago, in the wilder portion of
the State of Tennessee. She had, as
she says, considerable amount of
money with her, and, though warned OF
the danger in travelling in certain dis
tricts without an armed escort, she ut
terly refused to allow her driver and
guide to retain his pistol, notwithstand-
ing his remonstrances and entreaties to
the contrary, as he knew precisely the
the dangers of that road. Sure enough,
as they came to small clearing IN a
swampy tract where there was much fall
len and burned timber, man met them
suddenly, presenting his istol and de-
handing her money or her life. She
instantly came to the front and asked II
he were not ashamed to attack woman
and in such circumstances. But he was
resolute, and said he must have her
money, as he was DE- stitute and in dire
need. She, equally determined, kept
on talking to him of the wrong, impro-
priety and unmanliness of his course,
when, suddenly dropping his eyes and his
pistol, he cried out, My God ! ] have
heard that voice before, and immediate
ly began to apologize for his conduct,
telling her that he had met her in the
State Prison at Trenton, or in the East
ern Penitentiary OF Pennsylvania. He
refused to take a cent, but she finally
insisted on his taking some money, not
as gift, but as sum she wanted to in
vest with him, to be used, after he had
found work and relief, in helping others
equally unfortunate.
