Dear Ediiress :

Dear Ediiress:
My family cover the river" had Just been
increased by four, and | was feeling very
proud Of them, when was called to listen to
a discussion regarding children. One lady
land q mother, am sorry to say, contended
that there were too many children in the
world, and not Of so good quality as In our
grandnothers' day. ] Immediately thought Of
my forty and four and doubted the assertion.
True, was not there in my grandmothers
time, but II | can believe the story Of the
dear old lady who used to place her hand upon
my head and bless my childhood,
THE MOTHERS
are not what they used to be.
Then the first duty Of n mother was to caro-
for her little ones, not to make a show Of her.
self for the sake of society. Mothers grow
away from tho children these days, and forget
their own childhood. do not expect little
saints or angels ! want real live boys aud
girls, capable Of being trained into noble men
and women. My only hope Of the future il
through the children, and ! mean to live so
near them that, when | pass away, they will
miss dear companion as well as friend.
One lady said to me: You state the amount
Of your finances 90 seriously that people will
think you are in earnest. Why don't you put
some mark to show that you are in iunW
Why, was never more in earnest in my
life / assure YOU /! And I'VE children" are
Just as sure to succeed as We are now sure OF
the dollar and twenty cents In our treasury
and before the summer passes we will have .

convert the United States into an APP
panage of China; substitute the books
of Confucius for the Bible and blot out
Christian civilization. But the menace
now is simply to the -laboring class:
They are bearing the whole brunt OF
this most singular collision. II they are
supplanted they must stand idly BY do.
ing nothing. In time they will be forced
into barbarism.
But they do not belong to race that
win long tamely submit to wrongs.
They will become restless and revolu-
tionary to an extent that will render the
strengthening of Government a necessi-
ty. In the large augmentation OF the
police force of this city. we have one
offset for whatever has been maze Dy
Chinese cheap labor. In the increase
of crime and pauperism we have ahQtne..
But this cheapness, for which so much
has been sacrificed, as already shown,
is evanescent in its nature. Wherever
It destroys competition it disappears.
While the process of competition is go
ing on 1t renders our own workers reck-
less and desperate. No one can look at
the question with the eye of o statesman
without perceiving that this thing can
not 90 on. The peaceful conquest OF a
great Aryan nation can not be accom-
plished by Asiatic horttes. There does
not appear to be any escape from these
conclusions.-San Francisco Bulletin.

drinking cider in this way. that is, on
the hy, he reminded the detected pos
SCISSOR of the bottle, ti1at he had been
able to get only - smell Of the liquor,
and advised ;hfm to open another bot
tie. Thanq{aest was Complied with,
and tho host brought up another bottle,
and IN order 10 avoid accidents and also
save the cider, he turned the meek OF the
bottle into q pitcher before he cut the
wires. Then he severed the cords in
the presence of small but highly APP
preciative. and attentive audience. The
second maneuter, as far as getting the
cider out Of the bottle and into the
pitcher was concerned, was complete
success, hut the idea that it might re-
fase to stay there does not appear to
have struck him half so forcibly as did
the cider, when, with unimpaired agili-
ty and strength, it shot forth and raked
him from the bottom button OF his vest
to the back part of his hair. About q
thimble-fu]l of the liquid remained in
the bottom of the pitcher, and this was
drank in solemn silence by the guests,
who pronounced it to be exceedingly
good, but nervously muttered some
thing about setting the children bad
example of extravaganza and waste
when the opening Of q third bottle was
suggested. Noraetch (Conn.) Bulletin.

A Stream Of Charity.

During the late epidemic Vicksburg
received nearly two hundred thousand
dollars from kind and generous giyers
all over the Union. The amounts re-
ceived by all the fever districts foot up
nearly two million dollars. 1t is hard
to estimate the good that was done, the
suffering that was relieved and the hor-
rors that were ayerted by this wholesale
charity. The mind fails to grasp the
immensely of the magnanimity Of acts
that record themselves by hundreds,
thousands, tens of thousands and mil
lions of dollars! 1t is like one trying to
conceive of the vastness of the empire
in which this was done. If it were
possible TO estimate the vast plains, riv-
ers, mountains, forests and lands that
stretch from the Gulf to the great lakes,
and from ocean to ocean, it would be
possible to somewhat appreciate the
vastRass of the aid received. Our peo-
pie cried out in their distress, and relief
from every quarter flowed in on them
in one continuous stream for months.
The gifts were only limited by the wants
Of the suffering. No question was ask
ed; no refusals were thought of, aud
the world witnessed the spectacle ola
great civilized people engaged in the
task OF pouring out wealth to relieve the
suferings OF fellow beings. Philanthropy
is truly said to be the noblest trait Of
human nature. Philanthropy and char
ity are the evidences of the highest civ
ilization. These are possessed in high
or degree by the American people than
by any other people on earth. History
does not record an event that will COM
pare TO the universal charity displayed
in the United States in FScks6urq
Herald.

Clean Journalism.

There is a growing sentiment in this
community in favor of clean newspa-
pers. This is as it should be. The
newspaper is the public educator. tits
the daily visitor and fireside compan-
ion of every Intelligent household. Why
should we not exact of it as chaste q
tone and as good manners as we would
of a personal visitorP What would be
done with o person who should enter q
refined family circle, and in the pres
ence of women and children, commence
detailing the particulars Of some low
scandal, or recountingr the details OF
some disgusting crime, or repeating any
matter Of doubtful propriety? Such .
person would naturally be shown the
door. That is exactly in kind what
should be done with the unclean news
paper-it should be shown the door
pitched into the grate-and denied fur
Their admission to fellowship until it
mends It's manners. The newspaper
can not and should not be kept from the
children. It should be so pure in toVe
as to raise no blush of shame on their
innocent. faces. 1t should never contain
. line or word unfit for them to read.
The public journal that comes nearest
to this high standard will be the family
newspaper of the future.-San Jose
(Cdl.) Mercury.

A California View Of Chinese Cheap
Labor.

The general idea which seems to be
prevalent throughout the country with
reference to the Chinese, is that they are
by habit, training and religion bent up
on doing work for the smallest possible
wages. But, as q matter of fact, the
cheapness of the Asiatic is relative rather
than absolute. He will work for less
wages than the average white man in
order to secure his place. He is ena-
bled to do this, for ages of thrift, rem
dered necessary in a teemfng popula-
ton, have made economy in small
things second nature with him. He can
live on rice and sleep in bunk. There
is, besides, no family, at least in this
country, depending on his labor. The
friends and relatives in his native land
can easily enough be maintained for q
year on the savings of month any
where in the United States. But when
competition has been destroyed the
Chinaman advances his wages. 1.-The is
not deeply learned in Adam Smith or
Ricardo, he understands the operations
of the law Of supply and demand just as
well as if he had modern economical
science at his fingers ends.
Domestic service was theAecond field
into which the Chinaman pressed when
there was no longer chance to work
in the gold fields. There are Chinese
cooks in this city who now command
higher wagesthsnt the average Aryan. A

How Oysters are Fattened.

Very few persons who feast on the
large and toOthsOme oysters which are
served up at the raw boxes of. many of
the oyster houses in this city have the
remotest idea from what source the lus-
cious bivalves are obtained or in what
manner they are fattened.
The oyster. obtained from Tangier
Sound, Lynnhaven, and what is known
as the Seaside oysters, are rather
small oyster, enclosed in an immense
shell, their native element being salt
water. These oysters, when dredged
and, brought to the Baltimore market,
are bold to the packers and others at the
rate of 60 cents bushel.,
Recently plan has been discovered
by which these oysters can be nott0hly
fattened IN very short time, but their
value enhanced at least $50 per cent
Two of the large oyster packing firms
are now engaged in this business, and
the manner of procedure is described as
follows by one who has watched, the
operation:
When the oysters are unloaded from
the PUNCHES they are transferred to scows
over which q deck is built, and on which
deck the oysters are placed. Each of the
scows will carry deck-load of about
600 bushels of oysters. The scows are
then lowed to point in the Patapsco
river near the Ferry Bar bridge, where
the wster isquiie shallow.
