They never saw us befOre-never, it is
likely, will see us again. But straight
way we forget all about health and ma

these people, and begin to pose and

which disagree with us, the medicines

walked dOwninto Chinatown. There
were bags of fish, and tishy smells to be
sure. But not one half dressed woman,
on the streets or hanging out of the
windows! Not one drunken man on the
street, nor one pouring out oaths and
tobacco juice in about equal proper
tiOns. No doubt however, about the
paganism and the prostitutes, the opium
smoking and the gambling; but the
"Heathen Chinee," has the decency to
shut the-doors and work his wickedness
unseen by the outer world. But can
the same be said of those houses on
Sacramento street, inhabited by white
lOdgers-incarnate demons in aUOman's
form? aud what means the incessant
tramp, tramp, tramp, of hundreds of
men away on into the night-some 60
ing dopn into the dens in the basement
and some going into the open doors
above? Doubtless there are more than
the ten righteous ones, on the coast, and
SO no Dead Sea will mark the places
with sanity names, and SOdom and
GomOrrah stains.

in 1s42 chaplain in the navy, which
post he has but just resigned, to pass
his closing years in Boston. Mr.. Pills
bury said of him in conclusion: "Of
most active temperament, he has accom-
plished much in various ways. Tender
and sympathetic, he did much to abate
the terrible rigors of the naval service
and to ameliorate the condition of those
engaged it, especially of the lower and
most subjugated classes. The slaves,
the free people of color, the prisoner,
the labOring men, women and children,
the aged of both sexes, the causes of TEN
perance, peace and woman suffrage find
in him ever a protecting providence and
unfailing friend"

A Singular Assault that Grows More
Singular.

The mysterious assault on Miss
Heuser, who was seized by two masked
men at the residence of her brother-in-
law, DR.. Hasbrouck, at Milton -on-the-
Hudson, on the evening of the Fourth,
and stripped of her clothing, is recalled
by the arrest of DR.. Julius Miller as
principal in the outrage. He is a grad
uate of Edinburgh university, wild
over who, after nine months practice
at Milton, is living in retirement at a
farm house, and suspicion was directed
toward him by Miss Heuser's identifca-
tion of him on the street as the man
who assaulted her that night. The
sponge bound over her mouth was such
as is used by physicians, and the form
of the bandages which kept it in place
showed that they were tied by an ex-
perienced hand. Two sheets were miss
ing in the room through which the
ruffians must have passed, and the de-
tective, rejecting the idea that the
young woman stripped herself in hys-
terical attack, or that it was done to
crafty grudge, is convinced that it
was a determined attempt to secure
Miss Heuser's body for medical pur-
poses, and that her clothes were strip
ped off that nothing might be left to
identify her by as the body was carried
off in the sheets. The neighbors sur
prised the bOdy-snatchers at their ne
farious business, and, dropping Miss
Heuser with her feet against the door
to delay pursuit, they safely escaped.
DR.. Miller had a hearing before Justices
Craft and Woolsey yesterday, and the
prosecution failed to bring evidence to
show his guilt and he was discharged.
He had five witnesses to prove an aIibi,
