that he is a companion of THAT OLD Noun

HIS BIOGRAPHY.
Franklin Pierce Wheeler was born on the
4th of March A. D. 1853 As is evident from
the day and date the NVIETth President Of the
United States was honored by receiving his
illustrous predecessors name.
But this is mere bagatelle
Immediately after having returned from
- J II n
Mr. Wheeler became engaged in the problems
of mettalurgy and the reduction Of intractable
and rebellions ores into the more valuable
and merchantable components of what is
known among the miners of the Far West as
Bullion.
About this time, stimulated by the exigen-
cies of the occasion and the incidents thereto
belonging; and it being necessary that Mr..
Wheeler should attempt the difficult and haz-
ardous task of climbing a hitherto inaccessi-
bic mountain in search of mine whose ex-
istence was only known by the down flowing
tailings, as it were, Mr. Wheeler, his active
mind seconding his danger loving spirit, in
duced him to invent what is known as the
NORWEGIAN SNOw-sHOE.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Naci-
tur non fit These brief outlines will
suffice. Not to know Mr. Wheeler's more
recent and splendid history is to argue ones
self hopelessly ignorant of passing events. 1t
is hardly requisite to add that Mr., Wheeler
is subscriber to tho MORNING. APPEAL, price

We find the following in the News Letter
of Wednesday:
Dispatches received in London state upon
authority which cannot be questioned that
10000, 900 human beings are now starving in
the famine stricken provinces of North China.
The London Times of Feb. 18th, in an
editorial upon the subject says:
eve cannot doubt that if the Chinese have
found their way to America from comparative
ly prosperous eastern provinces in thousands,
that they will pour forth in myriads from the
famine stricken districts of the north as soon
as a way is opened to them, the Chinese diff
Guilty may speedily become a greater menace
to the future of the United States than the
negro difficulty was at it's worst, for negro inn
migration was never voluntary, and ceased
with the abolition of the slave trade while if |
the Chinese tide once begins to flow, it is |
lifficult to see when and where it will stop. |
1t behooves us therefore, to be on the look
cut to check the torrent of starving heathens |
likely to be thus precipitated upon US, and |
upon the workingmen alone devolves the task |
If keeping the country free from the threat
