He waited for his oyster stew
And drummed upon his plate
A solo with his plated fork,
And thus did mediate -
u think one plate will not suffice;
think ! would not rue 1t,
II should take another dish;
I'll do Il, yes, I'll duet"
He took his stew, he took his two,
And then he heaves a sigh, o,
And murmured in tho walters ear.
Another dish III trio,"
Another, and another still,
In fact, when he had ceased,
This human oyster depot had
A quarter at the least.

Teo young gentlemen were grayely dis
cussing the social problem whether or mot
etiquette demands that young lady upon
parting with her gentlemen callers at the
gate or the hall door, shall ask them to call
again. One insisted that such an invita-
ton was the proper thing do. The other
denied it, "because," said he, 81 60 to see
a young lady who knows what politeness
requires, and she never asks me to call
again"

We never knew scolding person that

Gymnastic exercises for young ladies are

IMPORTANT CHINA NEWS,
Flood, Drought and the Sword
Frustrating the Empire--Proba'
BILE War with England.

SAN Francisco, July S0.--The DC
cideutsl S Oriental Co.'S steamer
"Belgic" arrived to-day from Hong
Kong via Yokohama. She brought
but 1853 Chinese in the Storage.
The news from China is Of con-
siderable Importance. The British
Commissioners were sent to the pro-
vince of Yunnin, to investigate the
murder of MIR. Margary, and are daily
expected at Shanghai with full par.
ticulars of the result ot their mission,
which is believed to have be m fail.
ure. Meantime Sir Thomas Ward,
the British minister. has left Pekin,
having for the present broken of ne
gnt,ations and has brought the ar
chives of legation to Shanghai,
In case Of hostilities breaking out
between China and England, which
will probably be determined on the
arrival of the Commissioners and
the disclosures made by them, the
result will be awaited with deep
anxiety. Meantime the German
Minister is pressing the Chinese
Government severely in the matter
of treating the revision of the
treaty and demanding that all China
be opened to foreigners Tor inter
course and trade, aud that the ma
ton adopt the responsibilities OF
international law. The rebels in
Western China have succeeded in
defeating and dispensing the whole
imperial army, the leader of which
committed suicide in consequence.
A prolonged drought in foar dense
ly populated provinces has destroyed
the crops over an extent of eight
hundred square miles of country, in
hsbited by seventy millions OF peo-
ple who are threatened with the
horrors of famine.
A disastrous flood At Foo Chow and
the surrounding country has devas-
tated that region. causing an Immense
loss Of life and damage to property,
Over FIVE thousand dead bodies have
been found near Foo Chow alone. ana
the Flowcry Kingdom
seems u be in very bad way.
Manifestoes Issued by the Chinese
companies here have had great effect
in discoursging emigration to Cali

, COMPENSATION seems to he a law
Of nature and even to manifest Its
balancing power within society and
civil events. In part proof of this
postulation We may point to the fact
that recently You Lie was overpow-
cred by the law of the land in Cali
fornia and now lies HARMLESS in the
State Prison at San Quentin. About
the same time that this highly de-
!sirabls consummatioH was being
brought about, Sojourner Truth was
breathing her last in New York, and
personified Justification and its an
upode withdrew simultaneously
from the busy scenes Of the world
1t may be necessary to say that 'Yor
Lie" was . notorious Chinaman and
Sojourner Truth . respectable young
lady.

Of acceptance from Governor Tilden.
He has had ample time to prepare a
letter to suit the Democracy. His
main task is to Guido Hayes. We
may reasonably anticipate him oy
concluding that he will not do it.
Hayes document is hard to beat
Tilden has the advantage Of reading

The COUNTY PRIMARIES,

THE COUNTY PkkNAklES,
The County Central COMMITTEES
held a meeting on Friday, according
to published call for the same. The
whole proceedings ere printed in an
other column Of this issue. 1t will
be seen by q perusL ct them that a
primary election has been called to
take place on the 10th proximo. We
are glad 70 see that the committee
tax sab wise course. There were
some floating runars on the street on
Thursday to the eject that the COM
mittee contemplated taking the reins
into their own hands and constitut-
ing themselves an appointing body
whose power might possibly be felt
at the State Convention on the gath
Of August 1t is pleasant to see now
that these rumors were the mere
vaporipgs of querulous persons. The
TsNEs would have been compelled to
oppose with the utmost Of its power
any coup of that kind that might
have been prachccd upon the Re
publican voters of the county. For
tunassly no coup was contemplated,
aaa tbs committee discharged their
duties as disinteresied citizens.
Now that the day for the primaries
has been set, We hope that every Re
publican voter in the county will de-
cote a portion of has time for the
next couple Of weeks to thinking
over the offices to he filed and the
best available men to fill them. Bust
ness mea especially should feel ii
their duty to set apart portion OF
their time for the consideration OF
politics. The trouble which has be-
set political affairs in general of late
and the dissatisfaction which has
grown out # an alleged control of
local government by few have re-
suited exclusively from apathy on
the part of the very men who should
be foremost in such affairs. Persons
absorbed with 3 multitude Of bust
haas Affairs ars proverbislly won't to
look upon the primary proceedings
of a political party as something
which belongs in mos: part to the
politicians and officeholders, and IN
which the can have little or no direct
interest. This is a mistake which
should not be further allowed to g
uncorrected. The initial point-the
election Of delegates to nominate a
county ticket and 10 have voice in
the nomination of 4 State tickets
where the honest many have their
greatest power. After nominations
have been made that are distasteful
or unsatisfactory there is NJ remedy.
II voters are conscious of having
done their duty fully and are aware
that the result before them is the will
OF the majority. they have nothing
or no one TO blame. Then let voter>
on this occasion not be lax in the
exercise of their prerogative a, the
pNEsries. III that prerogative their
greatest power rests. Our System of
elections is the most perfect from
precinct primary up the ascending
scale to the electoral college. II
voters do not avail themselves of the
privileges they have from the begin
ming upward, it is their own fault if
local government at least Is not as
perfect as the system of elections and
just as satisfactory.

A MECHANICAL lnP0sSlBlLlTY

We observe in an exchange that
an Improvement has been made in
the steam engine whereby the power
wasted by the exhaust Of the used
steam may be utilized. The new
discovery is some mechanical appli-
snce which forces the steam back
into the boiler, thus saving about
eighty per cent. of the fuel. This is
Accounting to the exchange above.
mentioned. After reading about i,
we called in our devil, who once
studied natural philosophy under
Professor James, and asked him what
be thought of the plan. The boy is
quite Intelligent, and at once replied
that he thought. from a stand point
of pure philosophy. that it was in
tended as q joke. He said brichy
that all the resistance placed upon
the exhaust end of steam cylinder
was equivalent to so much power
taken from the steam end Of the
same, aud that nothing could posi-
bly, be gained by attempting to force,
by the power Of the machinery, any
per censsge of the exhaust steam
back into the boiler. He said that
Quackinbos' (the author of his text
book would not allow him to be-
lieve such thing as possible, and he
would believe Qusckinbos rather
than any Scotch newspaper, Our
devil said that it would be parallel
case to supply a hydraulic engine
with water from an elevated tank
pumping the water back into the
tank again with the same engine,
which would be a twin brother to
motion but for the friction
of the machinery. When we told
him that the steam proposition met
with the sanction of the Enterprise he |
went abou, his work with melan-
choly look, as much as to say that all
the study he had bestowed upon ply
sizes was so much energy wasted.
and that all the laws OF mechanics |
were but delusions and saares. After |
rolling for about fifteen minutes he |
and said that possibly the
chemical constitution of the exhaust
steam might by some means be |
CHANGED SO that the expansion would
be reduced without lesSening its tenn
perature. But inasmuch as the ex-
pansion 10 the result of acquired heat,
he WAS confused, and again pro-
nounced the plan joke, fit only for |
the contemplation Of poetic minds. |
