noon a man was arrested On Montgom-
cry street carrying a hammer inscribed
with a notice for working men to meet
this evening to give an expression of
sympathy with the eastern strikers.
He was released on promise of discon-
tinuance of his action.
A deputation waited on the mayor
assuring him that no violent counsels
would be considered ut the meeting.
The regular, special and substitute
police force will be held in readiness to
prevent any breach of the peace. The
National guards will also be held ready
for action. Many unemployed men
have hung around the bulletin boards
during the day, some of them express
ing themselves in favor of the eastern
rioters proceedings, but it is not be-
lieved that any violence will follow the
evening meeting.
The action of the Central Pacific
company in restoring wages was with
out reference to the recent strikes,
having been decided upon last We'd

San Francisco, July 23.--Serious
trouble is considered possible, if not
probable. During the night meeting of
the workingmen in open air at the new
City Hall, which was largely attended,
some decidedly incendiary resolutions
were offered; the speakers were inter-
rupted IN their remarks concerning the
eastern labor troubles, by cries of show
about the Chinese question ?" etc.
There is an evident disposition to turn
the meeting towards that subject. Two
men in the crowd have been wounded
by pistol shots, but ut present the
origin of the shots is a mystery, though
they are supposed to have been fired
from neighboring houses.
A crowd of young hoodlums and
boys are reported depredating in the
vicinity of the Chinese quarters, break
ing windows, etc.
The military are all assembled at the
armories waiting orders. There is a
d~isposable force of about fifteen hun
dred National Guards in the city.
Many of the officers and men are vet
eran soldiers and the force Is consid-
cred reliable.
The workingmen's meeting, which
numbered about ten thousand, broke
up at 10 O'Clock, without making any
serious demonstrations AS a body.
Shortly before adjournment q portion
Of the crowd wrecked a Chinese wash
house in the neighborhood. Several
hundred men then banded together,
proceeded to the corner of Geary and
Leavenworth streets, which is occupied
by a two-story frame building, contain
ing a Chinese laundry and fruit store
on the ground floor and the residence
of the family above, and attacked the
place, broke the street lamps, and set
the building on fire. The mob impeded
the firemen on their arrival, cut the
hose, and the building was destroyed.
They then came down Geary to Dupont
street, with the evident intention of
raiding the Chinese quarters. On the
way they attacked and cleaned out Il
number of Chinese wash-houSeS. BY
the time they reached Dupont they
numbered GOO. Here they wsre met by
a strong force of police, who formed in
line across the street. The rioters en-
deavored to break through but the
police stood firm, and being reinforced
in haste from the City Hall, by the free
use of their clubs, beat back the
crowd.
At present the police hold Dupont
street, at the corner of Pine, against
the main body of the mob, while strong
squads are posted at the intersections
of cross streets with Dupont, the main
object being to keep the mob from
China town. The crowd evidently lack
leaders and their movements are with
out cohesiveness. They make but little
show of resisting the police, other than
crowding upon them, yelling and derid-
ing them, The general impression
among the authorities is that by vigil
liant and determined action on the part
of the police, the crowd will be held in
check during the night, though their
slogan of "China town at l O'clock -
is ominous. The militia remain at
their armories, not yet having been
called upon for service.

Pittsburg, July 23.-The strikers
seem universally disposed to assist law
abiding citizens in saving property from
thieves and flames. Their better ma
ture shows itself on all hands, but the
terrible scenes that have been enacted
are traceable to Il lower grade. of men
than those who inaugurated the strike.
They are those who have neither char
acter nor position to lose by their
action, and seem to hold themselves
amenable to nc law. This is the class
whose acts are being n disgrace to
P%ittsburg.
AS to any plan looking to any COM
promise between the Fort Wayne men
and their employees, it is stated that all
hopes in that direction are ended. The
railroad authorities have distinctly in
formed the strikers that there will be
no compromise whatever. When this
became known all passenger engineers
and iremen quit their engines.
No trains of any kind will go out this
evening on the Pennsylvania railroad.
There is no hope of CONFRONT Sc. The
officials declare that such shall not take
place, though not a wheel should turn
III their entire road, and also that if

the railroad they can get along without
strikers.
The rumors which have been set afioat
regarding a renewal of hostilities, has
induced the proprietqrs of the mercan-
tile and other establishments to sus-
pend business, and some of them have
organized their employees into compa-
MES and rendered their services to the
mayor to aid in restoring order. Gen.
Joseph Brown, of the 10th regiment,
also rendered the services of his COM
mand in suppressing the threatened
disorder, and the offer was promptly
accedted by the mayor. In a short
time the tramp of organized men re-
sounded along 9TH avenue, and the
beating of drums and movements of
the citizen soldiery through the streets
recalled the stirring scene of the war.
The strikers at 2Sth street have SUR
RENDERED THEIR ARMS, including
three pieces of artillery.

Vanity Of Men.

The late Harriet Martineau Offsets, il
her autobiography, the vanity of mel
against the vanity of women. She say
that during visit to London, where sh'
saw the first men of the nation, she saw
exhibitions of vanity in high places tha
women could not surpass.
There was Brougham, wincing under q
newspaper criticism, and playing the foo
among silly women. There was jeffrey
flirting with clever women in long sue
cession. There was Bulwer on sofa,
sparkling and languishing among a set oil
female votarles.
There was Campbell, the poet, obtrud-
ing his sentimentalities, amid quiverlng
apprehension of making himself ridicu-
lous. He darted out of our house and
never came again, because, after warning,
he sat down in room full of people GALL
authors, as it happened, on low chair
of my old aunt's, which went very easily
on casters, and which carried him back
to the wall and rebounded, of course max
ing everybody laugh.
Off went poor Campbell in huff, and,
we'll as | had long known him, never
saw him again; and was not very sorry,
for his sentimentality was too soft, and
his craving for praise too morbid to let
him he an agreeable companion.
There was Edwin Landseer, friendly
and agreeable companion, but holding his
cheerfulness at the mercy of great folks
graciousness to him. To see him enter a
room, curled and cravated, and glancing
round in anxiety about his reception,
could not but make woman wonder
where among her own sex she could find
a more palpable vanity but then, all that
was forgotten when one was sitting on a
divan with him, seeing him play with the
dog.
Then there was Whewell, grasping at
praise for universal learning-omnis
cience being his foible, as Sydney Smith
said-and liking female alteration, rough
as was his nature with students, rivals,
and speculative opponents.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-06-28


Icount this thing to be grandly true:
That a noble deed is step toward God
Lifting the soul from a common clOd
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet;
BY what we have mastered of good and
gain;
By the pride deposed and the passion slain,
And the vanquished ills that We hourly meet.
Wings for the angels, but feet for men!
We may borrow the wings to find the way
We may hope, and resolve, and aspire, and
pray;
But our feet must rise, or we fall again.
Only in dreams is ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire walls;
But the dreams depart, and the vision falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone.
Heaven is not reached at single bound;
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round.
