CHINESE IN THE sHoEsHops.

The success of the limitel experiment
at North Adams, Mass, of introducing
Chinese labor into the wholesale shoe
making business is only repetition of
what has occurred in other directions
where the patient, handy workmen from
the Celestial Empire have been employ
ed, la the Laundry business they have
taken the lead wherever they have set up
their ironing boards, and in simple man
ual labor they haye done very we'll We
cannot observe, however, that either the
hopes Of the capitalists who hailed the
advent of this "cheap Labor or the fears
of the workingnen who dread d the pig
tailed competitors have been realized.
The price OF labor has be eheapened,
not by Cinnamon v ho can live on 'three
cents worth of rice day,p but by the
stress OF circumstances that need not be
recapitllated. AS far as the nation il
concerned it is true that labDrers who
save all the surplus of their earnings
above mere living eXpen,es TO spend IN
another country are not the most deslra.

Sheridan wrote to General Sherman re-

grant ng of it was left to General Sheri-

of Ne,o York.
WASHINGTON, December 26.--The cor
respondent of the Record called upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to-day, and
drew his attention TO the fact that state
ments concerning the First National
Bank of New York, and his alleged con-
nectlon Herewith, were attracting uni
versal attention, and added that the Rec
ord would cheerfully publish any expla-
nation or statement he might have to
make. The Secretary replied, with "a
good deal of fervor, that he did not care
damn for the First National Bank.
The correspondent reminded him that
that might be all so, but there was,
nevertheless, a good deal of talk about
it, and that, when his reply was sent to
the House in answer to Kelley's first
resolution, good many people attached
but little importance TO IL, and thought
that the mover of the resolution had got
a waterbaul for his pains; but Judge
Kelley, Mr.. Hewitt and others, after ex-
animation, thought II significant and of
great importance. The Secretary replied
that Kelley and Hewitt misunderstood
the whole matter, and added that the lat
ter had been called to account for his
statements nv the business men of New
York, who had exposed the fallaGy OF
his position.
The Secretary said he had been only
pursuing the same course which had
bsen pursued Oy his predecessors. Nc
