The pirate-FiSherma,,.

The market of Havana is said to
be the finest structure of the kind in the
world. It also interests the traveller by
its romantic association with the story of
Marti, reformed pirate and smuggler,
who built it and the "Tacon Theater."
During the administration of Tacon,
from 1884 to 1888, smuggling and piracy
had grown so bold in and about Cuba as
to defy the Spanish navy sent to sup
press the outlaws. Their leader was
man named Marti, and for his person,
dead or alive, the encouragement offer
ed large reward.
One dark night man was watching
the sentinals pacing in front of the gov
ernor's palace, Havana. AS they turned
their backs and separated for q moment.
the man sprang unobserved through the
entrance. He passed up the broad
stairs, saluted in an imperious style the
guard there stationed, and passed into
the generals room. The gov
ernor, engaged in writing, looked up as
the man coolly cast aside his cloak, ex-
claiming;

MEssRs. SETH W. FowLE X Sons:
Gentemen-Last spring my little daughter,
aged five, became very much emaciated with
loss of appetite, and great prostration OF
strength. so much so that we were obliged to
lake her out of school. This continued through
the summer and caused us much anxiety.
After trying various remedies without deriv-
ing any benefit, our family physician recon-
mended the use OF Peruvian Syrup. After
using 1t one week We saw a marked improvement
in the child's condition, and in month she
was rapidly gaining in health and strength, her
appetite being excellent. At this date she is
perfectly well, with round, plump cheeks, and
healthy color, and is again attending school
regularly. consider her restoration to health
entirely due to the Peruvian Syrup, and feel
that cannot too highly recommend it as a
tonic. Very gratefully yours,

The Wool Trade.
ouH COMMISSION MERCHANTS.
MOODY Il PARISH.

In looking through the business interests
of our city it is our aim TO select only first
class houses for representation in these col
umns There is u branch OF industry that
has heretofore escaped our notice, and that
is the wool trade; but we shall endeavor to
make tais omission good, and with that end
in view have selected the trst-class firm of
Moody X Parish, OF 2l0 Davis St, ;. r. They
are wool commission merchants, and it is one
of the leading houses in its line on the coast,
and whose transactions cover the entire
range here. They also carry such ne.ded sr-
tielcs In stock pertaining to the wool trade,
such ms wool bags, twinc, sheep shears, sheep
washes and tobacco. The location OF the
firm is good one, and one for business con
venicnee. The business OF the year just
closed has been prosperous one, their bust
ness having increased Notwithstanding the
dulIness Of other trades. This has been
brought about by adhering to strict bust
ness principles, consulting always the best
interests OF their consiguors, selling when
the market jusliics it AT full value. Their
facilities for ihe disposition of wool, either In
this or any Of the Eastern markets, are per
feet, and a large proportion of The clip OF the
coast is Annually passed through their hands
To the satisfaction Of their numerous patrons
from Prescott, Arizona, To San Juan Island,
Washington Territory. This is the Oldest
house connected with the wool trade on the
coast and is Of large experience in their
llue aud high standing In commercial circles
To our friends We confidently commend this

CoNKLING ASA BoxER.-Senator Conk-

manners so reserved that they provoked
his fellow students to tease and torment
him. He was then II tall, slender youth,
and not strong, and feeling his inability
to protect himself properly, he quietly
procured a teacher IN the art of scltce-
Tense, and soon became an expert boxer.
After he had held few emphatic inter
views with divers aggressive students,
they concluded it was the better part OF
valor to let him alone, and he finished

The Famine in China.

We published, the other day, cOmmu-
nications on the subject of the famine in
China, which showed that the cause of
this terrible calamity is misapprehended
by some, at least, Of our readers. Opt
um is, no doubt, IA curse to the inhabi-
tants of China, and there is no ccnsure
too severe for the mercenary policy Of
Christian country which has urged it
upon them in spite Of the protests of
her heather rulers. But opium has
nothing to DO with the present famine.
1t is unjust to represent the people Of
Northern China rs drunken sensualists,
suffering the punishment of their idle
ness. They are, in fact, swarming
mass of wretchedly poor peasants, &C
customed to want and to trugaltv, Of
which the people Of this prolific country
can have no Just idea. So extreme j.
their condition, even i'll favorable years
that certain days are appointed by law
when the half-starved bands Of beggars
are permitted to enter the shops and
houses Of the towns and to make what
cutlery they please until they receive
aims. The destruction Of female chill
dren, common in these districts, is the
outgrowth Of the perpetual want to
which these people have been born heirs
for generations. "1nfanticide," says a
Christian writer, ''it appears to them
merciful necessity, not IL crime"
The famine, which has reached its
crisis in the present year, has been
caused by the failure of the rice crop
for three seasons, owing to the terrible
drought which followed the destruction
of the timber in Shan-tsi and Chilli
Sir Thomas Wade has Just issued an ur-
gent appeal for aid to all English speak
ing people, of which it is only necessary
to quote the fact that seventy-fiye mil
lions of people are literally starving to
death; that for year they subsisted on
herbs and grass, and last year on the
bark trees; and that now, all vegetation
having utterly disappeared, they are eat
ing earth and kind of slate stone which
can be masticated. A single guinea, Sir
Thomas says, is enough to save human
life for year. If any additional mo.
tive be needed to give force to these terri
BILE facts, it may be found by Christians
in his statement, that the English and
American missionaries have given them
selves up to the work OF relieving the
dying people about them, and that their
conduct has effected great change in
the opinion of the Chinese with regard
to the religion they teach. I'VE will
never speak i'll OF them again they
say This is better religion than that
of the Mandaiins."
What is New York going to do in
this matter. Times are hard, but the
poorest can spare something for u great
nation starving to death. The time has
come to teach Christianity as Christ
| taught it. This is the season when col
lcctions are taken up in our churches
for foreign missions. We would suggest
