The perils of the personal column, which is
feature of many of our city papers, have
had recent unhappy illustration in Ohio
The 18-year-old daughter of a well-to-do
farmer near Cleveland, idl.ng over Gin
cinnati paper, became interested in the
fascinating mysteries of the g personals. !"
There was . spice of strangeness and ro-
nance about them that excited her imagi-
nation. One of them in particular, which
solicited correspondence with some young
lady, appealed to her fancy. She hesita-
ted, and then in a adventurous mood sat
down and briefly answered it. A reply
promptly came, dated from Chicago. Il
was fattering and respectful, and the
chirography was very beautiful. A. cor
respondence ensued, and the mutual
warmth of expression increased with each
succeeding letter. The vanity Of the sim
pie country girl was pleased to think that
at last she had real city beau, and when
one day he appeared at her home clad in
the most approved city apparel, her cup of
triumph ran over at the contrast of his ap-
pearance with the homely, awkward coun-
try fellows upon whom hitherto she had
bestowed her coquetries. The old folks
were disposed to be dubious about this
fash young chap from the city, who talk
ed SO plausibly and so boldly sued for their
daughters hand, but finally gave their con-
sent to the marriage. Then the united
couple joyoasly sped for the city, carrying
with them generous purse bestowed up
on the young wife by their father. The
sequel is sad and short. Two months
later the young wife sought her fathers
home tired, careworn woman. Her pre-
cious husband proved to be gambler.
He readily suuandered all his wife's money,
and then she found herself the victim of
cruel want, and fortunate it was good
country home was open to receive the dis
consolate waif. The girls husband, one
Wilson, was formerly stock k-broker with
promising prospects, but gambling ruined
all, and his heartless ruse of the newspaper
personal was but the cunning ruse of u
desperate man to obtain the means of in
dulging in his besetting vice. Doubtless it
will be repeated, however, and some other
silly girl done for in way like this Ohio
farmers daughter. -

of that eyentful day aretew. "A Corinthian

officers who fell in the battle. This Lions
Mound is 200 feet high, and is made from

cannon captured in the fight; all of which

ward of SO, 600 men, who had mothers and
wives at home, gave up their lives. No
monument appears for them. The tree

dirge, and the grass grows from where their
blood was poured out. Modern Europe
can show no scenes of a sublimer tragedy
than the one acted acted here. This day,
with the chilling a.r and penetrating rain,
has been the true day for visit to Water

Cinnamon Cannot Become Citizens.


From the New York Herald
| We copy from a San Francisco paper -
the Alta Californta-a decision recently
rendered by the United States Circuit Court
| denying the right of Chinese immigrant
who had applied for citizenship to the priv
ilege of naturalization. This decision will
surprise no intelligent lawyer the only
surprise is that such an application should
have been made. The idea of the San
Francisco paper that the case ls likely to be
appealed TO the Supreme Court only proves
that the writer did not perceive tho force of
Judge Sawyer's reasoning. His argument
is SO conclusive that no appeal will ever be
made from the decision it supports.
The question csula not have been brought
before a court at all had it not been for an
oversight in the Revised Statutes. The
original naturalization law confined the
privilege to free white aliens. In 1870 1t
was so amended as to admit persons Of
African birth and African descent, but it
was left in other respects unchanged, men
of color besides Africans being still exclu-
ded. When this change was made, MIR.
Simmer proposed to strike out the word
"white from the naturalization laws. 1t
was objected that this would bring in the
Mongolians as well as the negroes, and ON
this ground Mr.. Summers proposition was
rejected. The only change made in the
former law was to except Africans from the
general rule by which colored aliens were
excluded. But the revisers of the statutes
fell into the blunder of omitting the words,
being free white person." 1t was
blunder, because they had no authority to
change the law, but only to put it into
more convenient shape. The omission of
that phrase would make the naturalization
laws apply TO Mongolians and ali colored
aliens /; but Congress afterward corrected
the oversight Of the revisers. By an act
passed In 1875 to correct errors and sup
ply omissions - in the Revised Statutes the
omitted words were restored, with the
avowed purpose Of excluding Asiatics from
naturalization. An appeal from the opin-
ion of Judge Sawyer would be futile, the
law being too clear to admit Of any reason
able difference of opinion.

FROM II. w. LoEaFELLow's KERAMos AND OTHER
POEMS.
SONG.
Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest;
Housekeeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.
Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baffied and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
10 stay at home is best
Then stay at home, my heart and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest:
Der all that tutter their wings and fly
A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
NATURE.
Az fond mother, when the day is o'er
Leads by the hand her little child to bed.
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing ut them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid may not please him
more, ' -
So Nature deals with US and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand,
Leads us to rest 80 gently that we go,
Scarce knowing if we wish to 20 or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what We know.

next day, the goth, we marched
about sixteen miles in the same
way, and went into camp. The
next day (21st) we got to Mon
clova, a Mexican town on the Rio
Grande, about eighteen miles above
Duncan, and found the same Mex
leans drawn up to oppose our cross
ing. Another parley was held, and
as they wouldn't say what they
would do, the cavalry was ordered
to advance against them, and we
charged them up a hill at a gallop.
You ought to have seen the Mexi-
cans run. Having driven them on
we all crossed the river, and then
came here in two days march. Not
a shot was fired on the whole trip,

ward across the body, and her hand
poised with all the coy innocence
Of womanly delicacy, and with her
right arm closely bent drawn across
the emotional seat and holding a
white napkin which fell in graceful
folds in front, was tableau mat
uraD which we shall never forget.
During this increasing little eere-
mony we took occasion to follow
the movements of several others
who had finished their bath and
were rerobing. One was seated in
front ola highly FURNISHED metallic
glass, with the assistance of an at
tendant, arranging her toilet;
Others were enyeloping themselves
once more in the habiliments of
their sex. One young woman of a
score of summers, having COM
pleted her toilet, stood for a mo-
ment chatting with a lady friend,
both laughing heartily and enjoy
ing the subject of their converse
tion. Like some of our fair sex,
Japanese ladies are fond of gossip.
The little woman soon left, evi-
dently feeling A l, to use COM
mercial term. She went out as
quietly and modestly as the other
came in. 1t is to be said as in evil
dence Of the proprieties observed
that the men and the women never
hold any conversation here, and
come and go as quietly as if the
other were not present.
REFLECTIONS.
We must admit that the thirty
minutes we passed in this place
suggested many thoughts pregnant
with interest and philosophy. Can
there be immodesty when there is
no sense of wrong or imagining OF
impure things? Do not the lasciv-
iouS touches of the modiste's art
excite these tendencies to excesses
in mode and manners which do not
appear the nearer we approach ma.
ture in our dress and lives. The
feverish excitements of the dance,
bare shoulders, bodice la pompa
dOur, eel-skin waists and pull-bacE
shirts are infinitely more detenora
ting in their influences than thu
child-like simplicity we have shown
A beautifully rounded ankle and
pretty foot vaguely visible beneath
the laminated folds of a dozel
skirts would set a whole communi
ty agog at home, whilst Who'll
form nude as nature and NOR
beautiful than an angel would no
SO much as attract a passing glanc

A wonderruI Pair OF Twins

There is pair Of twins now on
exhibition at the aquarium, New
York, which is attracting much at
tention from physicians and others.
The two children are girls, and
were born on December 2S, 1877,
at San Benolt, a town about forty
miles north Of Montreal, Canada.
From their heads to the lilst lum-
bar vertabre, the children are pos
sessed of perfectly formed and en-.
tirely distinct members, but below
that point the bodies become one.
There is not the slightest deformity
about any of their organs. They
have two distinct sets of internal
organs and four arms, but only one
abdomen and two legs. Each child
controls one set of organs, but only
one leg. Piercing one leg with a
pin will produce signs of pain in
the face of one child, while the
other will be perfectly free from any
sensation. They do not act in uni.
son. While one laughs and plays
the other sleeps or cries from hun.
ger. Sometimes they both sleer
together, and when both are awake
they have the greatest desire to play
with each others hands. The Tea
lures are very regular, and the fac
of each child is very pretty for
baby only seven months old. Th
limbs are as large as those of an or
dinary child. Where the tw,
bodies grow into one, the bulk
not increased, but gradually de
creases into the usual size. The,
we're exhibited to a number o
physicians recently, who pro
nounccd the pair to be one of tn
greatest freaks of nature they hac
ever seen. They thought the tw,
bodies were merged into one mos
naturally, and believed the children
would live to the average age.

We left our camp on Devils

here on the 23d, having been gone
only twelve days. Our force CON

of the trip by giving a sort of a
diary Of it. The first day, the 1lth,
we marched to the Rio Grande, but
found the river too high to cross,
and had to wait until the next af-
ternoon, when we crossed and went
into camp on Mexican soil. On
the 18th we marched about thirty
miles toward the mountains. The
next day we broke camp at 2 am,
marched ten miles for water, but
found only enough to fill the can
teens, Then the guide was to take
ps 10 large water hole, but he was
so sick that he was delirioVs, and
General Mackenzie was afraid he
might lose us, so we turnod back
and marched until ten that night
to water.
We halted there only long enough
to give our horses a camp kottloful
apiece (thore was just barely enough
for that, and then marched on
until daybpeak, when we found
plenty Of water and went into
camp, having marched forty-two
miles, and having been thirty hours
without sleep. We lay in camp all

turned cast to join the infantrY and

days in this manner: A pole ten
feet long is projected from the stern
of boat. There is an iron ring at
the outer end of the pole. A man
rows the boat slowly in smooth
water. Another stands in the boat,
supports the learner by means of a
girth round the chest and rope
passed through the ring of the
pole, and directs him how to make
strokes with his arms and legs.
