The following communication has
been addressed to the President of the
United States by Representative Page,
Of California:
WASHINGTON, Dec. is, 1877.
To the President:
desire to call your attention to the
question of Chinese immigration, which
is now, and has been for a few years
past, agitating the people of California.
1 would respectfully ask that you give
the subject such consideration as your
valuable time will permit. You are
doubtless aware that there are now in
the State OF California more than $780,
600 of these people, about one-ifth of
whom are females brought here for
immoral purposes, and are now held and
owned as slaves. The remaining four
ffths are males, equal in number to the
entire voting population Of the State,
and are, with few exceptions, coolies or
slaves, brought here under contract for
servile purposes. Many of these came
from Hong Kong, an English port, I'M
der the treaty of 1858. That you may
the more fully understand the matter,
1 send you, accompanying this letter, a
report Of the State senate committee,
made at the last session of the legisla-
ture, on this subject. l also call your
attention to the report Of the joint spe-

Eneas started, and his eyes stood out
on his cheek bones and stared at each
other and Queen Dido in utter amaze

"Would you call a nanny-goat a but

Eneas fed. He climbed into the first
ship he saw and beat his way to the
next port, and Dido never saw Inn

Henry Wstterson has become con-

spicuity of scare-orow than that Of . wsrt
on mans nose. The unternned and never

of Kentucky, late editor Of the Chattanooga

boy behind the green baize who works the
punch. When the war broke out he was pro-
prietor of the Louisville Courier and surveyor
of customs at that point, and finding that the
Yankee hordes were about to sweep in upon
him, he moved southwark and becamethe editor
of the Louisville Bowling Green-Nashville
Murfreesboro' Chattanooga -Marietta-Atlanta
Courier. After checkered life, principally
made up of lively efforts to avoid the
grasping disposition of the Yankee SOL
diers, Henry brought up in Nashville and
Walter started the Courier in Louisville
again. But these irrepressible spirits, bound
10 the one course, could not be kept apart, and
the consolidation OF the Louisville Courier and
Journal witnessed Henry as fgure-head and
Walter at the helm. In the meantime, while
this sweet pair were firing the Southern
heart, the Government brought suit for the
pocketmoney Walter had taken with him,
and, notwithstanding the tactics of Kentucky
lawyers, judgment was given against said W.
N. Haldeman, of the L. B. C. NJ. c. NJ. A.
Courier for shout $4,000. Now, for this
sum to come out of the stock in trade of the
concern, at time when Henry wanted all the
spare change to invest in Ku-Klux pistols,
was too much. Something had to be done.
Parsons died at the oppertune time, and Wat

Coming Arctic Wave.

IfOld Prob. is true to his word, heavy
listers and warm furs will be In demand
within the next twenty -four hours. A broad
and massive arctic wave Is sweeping down
upon Us from the dreary wastes OF the North
sea, and will soon envelope the country with
its chilling winds and nipping frosts. Already
along the Atlantic coast the thermometer has
fallen fifty degrees, and the indications are
that we shall have colder weather soon than
we have had before this winter. It has been
Q notable winter with rs for its nipping and
eager winds and frosts. The snow, which
made gala days for Washingtonians during
last week, was deeper and more durable than
any which has covered our streets for twenty
years. The value of snow is, after all, q
doubtful thing. 1t is certainly questionable
whether the pleasure that was CLEANED from
the splendid sleiQhing can recompense our
citizens for the miseries they have been un-
dergoing for the past week from the slush and
mud which has been 30 deep and inconvenient
in our streets,
