A WEALTHY HEATHEN CHINEE.-
One of the richest Cinnamon in this city
is doubtless Mr.. Chew Koy Yup, who
came to this city q penniless Mongolian
thief about seven years ago. All his
wealth has been obtained by committing
to memory four simple words: "You
savee me leper." The second night after
his arrival he broke into dry goods
store, and WAS just carrying away his
booty when q policeman collared him
and prepared to march him down to the
city hall He made no resistance, but
innocently remarked, "You savee me
leper," and officer Mulligan fed wildly
toward North Beach, giving his prisoner
the opportunity to steal seven more un:
dershirts, of which he promptly availed
himself. Hc was only once brought into
court, being then charged with whole.
sale diamond robbery, and when asked
to plead guilty or not guilty, he simply
repeated the words of his charm, in a
voice at once plaintive and full of express
sion. The court WINS cleared in less than
forty seconds, two of the jury leaving
their hats behind, and the Judge his gold
spectacles, all of which Mr.. Chew Koy
Yup appropriated, together with the
loose change in the clerks drawer. The
wealthy heather is entirely free from
leprosy. He will sail in the next steam
er for Hong Kong with about $50, ,OOO.--

The SteaIner CiInbriil.

The presence OF the steamer Cimbria,
formerly of the Hamburg American line,
of the coast of Maine, and having on
board sixty Russian officers and seamen,
has been officially communicated to the
government, but the informant does not
give any more details of her prtsencs and
object than is contained in the general
press dispatches. What the object is of
having officers and seamen OF the Rus.

here, gave to reporter of the Washing
ton Star to-day his views on the subject,
which are practical, and appear to cor
rectly solve the question. He Haid there
could be no doubt as to the Cimbria's
being under the command of the Rus.
sian government, and had been sent to
the North Atlantic for specific purpose.
If war should be declared between Russia
and England, it would be found that the
Cimbria had on board both small arms
and five or six riHed guns for avail war.
fare. With this armament she could,
with her crew of six hundred men, whip
any British merchantman ahoat, al
though she was not man-of-war, and
was not built for warlike purposes. Her
specific object was to prey on British
commerce off or near the northeastern
coast of the United States. She would
not attempt to cope with.a regular Brit
ish cruiser, but could play sad havoc
among merchantmen. The declaration
of war being made she would rig her
guns, and be changed from vessel, the
only thing singular about'which was her
crew, into demi-man. .of-war. Her
papers would show that she was regularly
commissioned by Russia. The declara-
ton of war would also doubtless be fol.
lowed by the announcement that vessels
in other parts of the globe similarly
equipped and armed by the Russian gov
ernment, hitherto unsupported, had de-
veloped into Russian cruisers. The re-
porter then called the attention of the
officer to the fact that, by the treaty of
Paris, privateering had been condemned.
He received the reply chat the. Cimbria
and similar vessels, showing papers is
sued to them by the Russian government,
were as much, under that treaty, men-of-
war as double-turreted monitor built by
the government expressly for war. The
attention of the reporter was also called
to the fact that this country had never
subscribed to the treaty Of Paris. The
presence of the Austrian corvette Dan
dola in Philadelphia, and the fact that
her officers would not be surprised to see
other Austrian men-of-war following in
her wake, would indicate that Austria
was going to look out for hers elf in war
which she considers inevitable.

Tabby's Curiosity Satisfied.

The Virginia, Nevada, Enterprise tells
this affecting story:
Charles Kaiser, who has tho only hive
of bees in town, says that when he first
got his swarm, his old cats curiosity was
much excited in regard to the doings Of
the little insects, the like of which she
had never before seen. AZ first she
watched their comings and goings at a
distance. She then fattened herself
upon the ground and crept along toward
the hive, with her tail horizontal and
quivering. It was clearly evident that
she thought the bees some new kind of
game. Finally she took up her position
at the entrance to the hive, and when a
bee came in or started out, made at it
with her paws. This went on for some
time without attracting the special atten-
ton of the inhabitants Of the hive.
Presently, however, "Old Tabby" struck
and crushed bee on the edge of the
opening to the hive. The smell of the
crushed bee alarmed and erraged the
whole swarm. Bees, by the score, pour
ed forth and darted into the fur of the
astonished cat Tabby rolled herself in
the grass, splitting, sputteriug, biting
clawing and squalling as cat never
squalled before. She appeared q mere
ball Of fur and bees as she rolled about
She was at length hauled away from the
hive with a garden rake, at the cost of
several severe stings to her rescuer.
Even after she had been taken to dis.
tant part of the grounds, the bees stuck
in Tabby's fur, and about once in two
minutes she would utter an unearthly,
"yowlp and bounce full yard in the
air. On coming down she would try
and scratch, an ear, when q sting
on the back would cause ber to turn
succession of back somersaults and give
vent to running fire of squalls. Like
the parrot that was left alone with the
monkey, Tabby had a dreadful time.
Two or three days after this adventure,
Tabby was caught by her owner, who
took her by the neck and threw ;her
down near the beehive. No Hooner did
she strike the ground than she gave
fearful squall, and at single bound
reached the top of a fence full six feet
in height. There she clung for q m mo-
ment, with tail as big as rolling.pin,
when with another bound aud squall
she was out of sight, and did not again
put in an appearance for wee K" 's

Mr.. Tilden's Position.
NEW YORK. April %.

NEW YORK, April %.
Ex-Gov. Tilden, in conversation
with prominent political friend on the
recent Florida tevelopements said that
he had no part whatever, directly or in.
directly, in procuring the confession OF
the Florida ballot thieves. He said
that he had neither advised in favor or
against the passage of electoral commits
sion act; that he submitted to it as the
law and felt bound to obey the judg-
ment of the lawful tribunal that had de-
cided against him, and that he could not
disturb the peace of the country by
individually, or through others acting in
his direction, bringing exposures of we'll
known frauds to the surface. He spoke
with great caution about what might be
bis duty in case the frauds should be
clearly proven before competent tribu.
nal, and reach to the Presidential title
itself by duplicating its possesser, and
avoided any direct expression of convic-
tion on the subject. There is no ques
ton but that many of Mr.. Tilden's
friends, who have hitherto regarded the
Presidential issue as settled, believe now
that Hayes will be so implicated in
guilty knowledge Of the Louisiana and
Florida frauds that there will be no par
ty willing to sustain him in the Presi-
Dental chair.

A CASE OF LEpRosY IN BALTIMORE.
There is a patient at present in the
City Hospital, Baltimore, Md, who is
undoubtedly suffering from true leprosy.
His name is Abraham Brown, and he is
a native of New York city, As years of
age, bricklayer. He is widower with
four children, and after the death of his
wife went to Cuba and South America,
in one of which it is supposed he con-
tracted the disease. About two years
ago the disease first showed itself, the
symptoms being numbness of the mus
cles of the face and numerous tubercles
appearing over the body. On the 4th of
March last he went into the City Hospi-
tai, and the physicians, after examina-
ton, decided it a case of genuine lep-
rosy. The disease has attacked the neck
and hands and feet, and these portions
of the body are scaly and shrivelled, be-
ing of a yellow aud faded parchment.
Since his admission to the hospital his
tongue has become lacerated. 1t is diff
cult for him to swallow food, the tuber.
cles of his body have become hard, and
the flesh on the affected parts is gradu-
ally sloughing off. The physicians say
there is no hope of saving his life.

THE FIRST SrEp.-There is no step so
long as the first step in any direction,
especially wrong one. Having once
taken it, you are very likely to 60 far
ther. One who steals penny will re.
member it when he thinks of stealing q
sovereign. If he steals the sovereign
first, when he is tempted by thousands
he will remember he is already thief.
A perfectly innocent person breads the
soil of any sin upon his soul, but after
the slightest smirch be cannot say, II
am clean" The vulgar proverb, zone
might as we'll be hung for q sheep as for
a lamb" means a great deal. Often the
lamb was stolen years before, and now
why not take the sheep? An idle word,
half-oath, halfexclamation, leads the
boy to swearing. Once having sworn,
he will swear again. The first step may
not be much in itself, but in its relation
to our lives it is giants stride. 1t is
we'll to remember it.

For MOTHERS TO READ.-Mothers
should look we'll after their children in
the spring. The sun may be very warm
and the atmosphere genial, but it is the
time when heavy clothing is cast of and
the half-clad children permitted to play
in the lawn, yard or public highway.
We may add, however, that this war
ming can be applied to adults as we'll as
children. Ask any experienced physi-
clan and he will tell you that this is the
time when you have plenty TO do. But
many parents and others will never take
warnings until ir is too late, and the con-
sequences may be fatal; or, if this
should be escaped, heavy doctors bill
will be forthcoming.

A, COOP DOG LAW IN CONNECTICUT.
lin Connecticut there were four deaths
from hydrophobia in 1876, seven in 1877,
and two already this year. Among the
above were several prominent citizens.
There, has been paid annually, $4,000
to $4,000, or more, for sheep killed by
dogs, while thousands of others have
been MANNED but not paid for. Though
many parts of the State are specially
adapted to raising sheep pro6tably, the
fear Of loss from dogs has nearly put an
end to this industry. The above con.
dition of things led the State Legisla-
ture, recently adjourned, to pass, with
great unanimity, stringent dog law, OF
which the principal provisions are the
following:
Every dog kept must be registered on
or before May 1st, of each year, and 81
l5 paid therefor, to che Town Clerk fol-
each male dog, and $s.l5 for each ie-
male dog. Every dog must constantly
wear around the mech: a collar distinctly
marked with the register number and the
owners name. Every dog not SO
licensed and colIared, is to be killed, andS
bounty is paid for the killing. Any per-
son keeping an unregistered dog may be
fined 81, or imprisoned 80 days, or both
and it is made the duty of Grand Jurors
and al! other prosecuting officers, to pros.
ecute any violation of this act. All
damages done by dogs tosheep or lambs,
or cattle, are to bs paid for by the town,
and collected in full from the owners OF
the dogs. ANY person killing a register.
ed dog, unless such killing be justi6able
for the protection Of life or property, is
liable for the value of the dog as estab.
lished by competent evidence, and to
fine not exceeding 81, or imprisonment
not exceeding 30 days, or both.

A PERPETUAL MoTIoN.-.A magnetic
clock, invented by Daniel Drawbaugh,
of Milltown, Cumberland county, Pa,
is sufficiently remarkable to be worth
description. The magnetism of the
earth, an inexaustible source of power;
is made to oscillate the pendulum; and
the simplicity Of all the works gives an
assurance of the least posi- Die friction.
At certain point the moveu ents of the
pendulum itself shut off magnetic con-
nection with the earth, and at another
point restore the connection thus secur-
ing the conditions necessary to produce
its oscillation. The works are so ingen-
ious any simple that it is no wild asser-
tion to make, that, were it not for the una
voidable wearing out caused BY even the
smallest amount of friction, the clock
would run as long as the sold earth en-
dures. This clock is hung against
board partition, with all the works ex-
posed, subject to the jarings ofmachinery
and distractions from dust settling..upon
it, yet since March l, 1877, it has been
running continuously, with only slight
reported variations, as tested by transit
observations at noon.

decision of the Atlanta Presbytery,
which lately met in LawreD ceyille, Ga,
adverse to the appeal of Mr. Block, has
put. the seal of condemnation, 30 far as
the authority Of that ecclesiastical TO-
rum goes, upon dancing, in its most in
nocent form and under all circumstan-
ces. That body has decided that there
is no "time to dance"
The case arose in this way Some
months ago Mr.. Frank E. Block, dea-
con of the Central Presbyterian Church,
Of Atlanta, gave party to his friends in
honor of his mother and sister, who were
visiting his family at the time, and who
were on the point Of leaving for their
home in the West. There were invited
in all about thirty-ive guest, consisting
of several elderly people--friends and
neighbors of the family-and the rest
young people, who had called on Miss
Block during her visit to Atlanta.
The evening was spent, as is the GUS
tom with the gentry class, in social en-
joyment, the principal feature of which
was dancing. The round dances were
not generally danced, only two couples
participating in them.
In due course of time Block was cited
to appear before the session Of the Gen.
tral Presbyterian Church to answer the
charge Of violating the laws of the
church, in reference to worldly amuse-
ments. A trial before the church ses-
sion was the result of ehis charge.
The result of trial was the suspension ol
the deacon from the fellowship etc, Of
the church till he should repent, by, q
vote of four to three. From the de,
cisiou, sentence and suspension Block
appeals to the Atlanta Presbytery, Of
which said church session was u portion
The appeal was decided against Mr
Block, BY vote 1Sto 8. Mr.. FLOCK will
appeal to the Synod, which meets in
Atlanta next November, where he e1'
poets a more favorable decision.
This case is exciting great interest IN
our sister State.
