A LIVE CARGO.
Shipping Chinese--How the Women are
Taken Aboard
[Trom the San Francisco Morning Gail

[Trom the San Francisco Morning Call
The steamer at Hong Kong lies at an
chor i'll the bay, after she has received
her cargo. The regular Chinese coolie
passengers are given to understand that
on day named she will sail, and that
they must be ready to go on beard at an
carly hour IL the morning. At about 3
O'Clock a. IN. the embarkation begins, the
coolies being brought out 10 the ship
from the shore in lighters, which usually
carry from 400 to 600 persons. When
the lighters come alongside, n gsngway
IS made, and along this the coolies pass
il single file, each having in his hand q
ticket with which he Las been provided,
which he exhibits Is soon as all are
on board, the anchor is weighed and the
ship steams out of the harbor
But before eli this, which is regular,
has occurred, and under tho cover of the
darkness of night, small boats, CT F'sara-
pans, as they are called in China, move
silently off from the shore, each contain
ing from five to ten Chinese females of
OF the lowest order. These women do not
pass aboard the ship by any gang plank,
bet they are put through o port, which
has been left conveniently open for this
purpose. They are received on board by
some officer of the ship, who has l}rovid
ell 4 secret hiding place for them and
before the gray twilight OF morning ap
pears, everything about the ship has a
remarkably regular appearance. Just
before the ship reaches Yokohama, on
her way to San Francisco, all the Chi
nese passengers, except the women, are
mustered on the main deck, and are made
to pass through a narrow gangway,
only wide enough for one to pass at Il
time. Their passage tickets are taken
up and another ticket furnished each
one to show that he viii be all right
w hen disembarked at San Francisco.
While this inspection is in progres upon
the main deck, two Of the ships Off
cers go into the steerage and make
search to ascertain If there are any stow
ways on board. Ii any are found they
are put ashore at Yokohhmo, but no in
stance has ever been known where fe-
male stowaway was put ashore except
after the arrival of the steamer at
San Francisco. After the slip has ar
rived at this port, opportunities are
given to the owners of these women to
smnagle than ashore. This is done
by the c0nnivance of some officer of tho
ship, and possibly of some subordinate
Custom, House officer.

A DROWNED MAN, BURIED AT SEA
O0MES TO LIGHT AGAIN.

4 queer case of mistaken identity has
| Just come to light which curioaslv illus
trates how little reliance can be placed
upon the Identification of bodies found
IN the water, even by those who are sup
posed to know them well. On the 7th
Of June a body was found in the water
near Faughn's Bridge, which connects
the city of Portland, Me-. with the neigh
bor aS peninsIlli of Cape Elizabeth a
stone weighing about fifty pounds was
| fastened around the neck, and altogether
it looked like a case Of foul play, III spite
of the verdict of suicide which was given
by the coropor's jury. The clothes and
general appearance Indicated that the
body was that Of II sea-faring man, and
it WAS thou3h5 by some to be the body
of Capt. Bort. 3. Gordon, who had been
missing since he sailed from Portland,
Me, i'll the previous September His
wife was sent for from Greenwich, NH.
and she identified the body as that of
her husband, and it was buried in the
family lot.
But there were people who clung to
the belief that Captain Gordon was not
dead, and reports became current in
Portland that he had been seen on board
a vessel in New York, subsequent to tie
finding OF the body at Yaughn's Bridge.
The matter was Investigated by New
York newspaper reporter, and the result
was that the supposed dead and buried
Captain Gordon was found alive and
well on the schooner Nellie e. Sawyer,
where he filed the position of mate.
According to his story, there is some
family difficulty at the bottom which
has caused lis long absence from his
faEily. He sailed for St. Martins year
ago, and returned to Portland in Sep
tenber. He says that his wife had
squandered or made away with his prop
erty, and had left him several hundred
dollars in debt lie made no attempt to
see her, but sailed in the Nellie f Saw
yer for Philadelphia. There he was ta-
ken sick and went to the Marine Hospi-
tai AS he did not recover, he went to
Cuba and nearly died on the passage
While in Havana he lad an attack Of
ship fever, and when he recovered sailed
for Mobile. On the passage he was
wrecked on Chambers Island. Reach
ing New Orleans he went into the hospi-
tai and reached New York about two
weeks ago, where he first heard Of his
supposed death and burial, which he
says is q ''p1it up job on the part of his
WIFE His wife identified the hndy hy
11cu1ls of u sour Oh The shoulder He
says he had no such scar and that il was
done to get rid of him. During his alb
sence he had written twice to his wife,
and now he says he is going to New
Hampshire to see her.

INVISIBLE INE.-The most curious of
all kinds of invisible ink is that from
cobalt. 1t is very singular phenome-
non that the figures traced out with this
ink may be made to disappear and reap
pear with pleasure. This property is
peculiar to ink obtained from cobalt, for
all the other kinds are at first invisible,
until some substance has been applied
to them reappear; but when once they
have reappeared they remain. 4 very
pleasing experiment is produced by the
following Dissolve cobalt into nitro
1Ilslriatic acid then take drawing rep
resenting winter scene, the trees ap-
pearing devoid Of leaves, etc, put On
the leaves with this ink, and when held
to the fire the drawing will appear IN
all the verdure of spring.

4 DESTRUCTIVE TREE WoRM.-Al
through the extensive cedar forests in
Marshall, north of the river, and in the
extensive belt of cedars in the northeast
portion Of Maury county, untold mil
lions Of kind of worm, encased in a
cocoon or web, have attached themselves
to the cedar trees-hanging TO the limbs
OF the tree-in many thousands appar-
emily to the tree. The trees appear to
be thickly covered with these destructive
insects. In sections containing many
the state-the timber attacked-mucho of
it is already killed, and nearly all that
the pests are on appears to be in dying
condition grave fears are expressed by
many that they viii, in the future, al
most destroy the cedar timber as they
multiply. They seem to be indigenous
TO the cedar, having Gs YET molested no
forest tree but il. The yonng apples in
the orchards near the affected forest
have been attacked, the fly having ap-
parently laid the eggs Oh The bloom or
apple. Thousands of little oblong co
coons may now be seen sticking to the
young apples within the ball or cocoon
is small, blnck-looking worm. The
apples that they have been on are knotty
and SCARED, and stunted in growth, and
cannot make good apples. The little
worm in his silken web seems to suck
the apple, IS there are now many acres
of timber that have been already killed
by them. Some one skilled in entonao-
logy would confer favor by explaining
what they are.

4 TEXAN Executed IN TUEEEY.-A
young lady in Washington has received
a long letter from Mr.. J. i. George.
written on the 18th of April from Il Turk
ish prison, in which he says that in a
fight between the Herze- -govinians aud
the Turks, he was captured aud was to
be executed the next morning. He
states that a friendly priest had pronais-
ed to mail his letter ist certain town,
and the postmark shows that ii was
mailed at that place. This confirms the
previous report of the death of Mr..
George, whose mother lives at Denison.
