"Howl" he replied in a whisper;
"why that's just the way I felt when

"When was that o. she asked.
"Oh, before raised my mustache, "

"What mustache do you suppose q

"Why, Charley" whispered the girl I

laugh at. Sunday night he went 10 see

AFAMOUs Guide.

Pike, the famous guide of the Yo-
semitic valley has recently run down to
San Francisco for tho first time in
twenty-six years. He was born in
Tennessee, but crossed the plains soon
after the discovery of gold, being one
of the few survivors of the ill.fated
party that first attempted the perilous
passage of the Death valley route. He
was an associate of Pegleg Smith, who
amputated his own leg with hunting
knife, taking up the arteries and dress
ing the stump without assistance. This
operation was necessary inasmuch as
he had received wound from pois-
oned arrow in a skirmish with the In
dians, and illustrated an Important
operation now familiar to every college
student--that of saving ones own leg
off shorts Pike first visited the Yose-
mite in 1851, the year after its discov-
cry by white men, and he has remained
in these mountain solitudes ever since,
this being his first excursion. During re-
cent years he has pursued the occupa-
ton of guide with thrift profit. In
ascending Mount Whitney, however,
he contracted bronchial affection and
lost his voice SO that he cannot now
speak above whisper He has been
commissioned by hotel proplietors in
Yosemite to visit Oregon for the pur-
pose of procuring new varieties of
plants and trees for the valley.

SENATOR cRovEE on TIE cnIsEsE.

Senator Grover delivered very able
speech, February IA, on the Chinese
question. We wish we had room for
the whole Of it but az we have not,
we Gull few extracts as follows
We arc now confronted on the Pa
cifGc by the Chinese Empire with its
four hundred and fifty millions of Peo-
pie, embracing one-third of the worlds
population, and occupying region but
little larger than the United States, in
Guiding Alaska. Here We find the old
est nation, the eldest arts, the oldest
customs, unchanged from the beginning
fixed az if by laws Of fate. We find
here type Of man unchanged through
all ages of tradition. His gods are yet
made by human hands, and he bews
down and worships idols. He speaks
language having no elements common
with ouTs. He writes with characters
drawn from hierogylphics older than
all other written tongues. His forms
are facts, and his governments are ap-
solutism. His industry is unceasing
and in all his peculiar products he lays
the world under contributions to bis
treasury.
China has not today what we would
call an army. She has not what we
would call navy. She sends out her
products upon all seas, but never builds
nor sails ship. This is the MoDgolian.
When he comes among US he brings
with him all he has and all he is-bis
gods, his government, his language, his
bieroglyphics, his unchanged customs,
his clothing, his chopstics, and, as far
as possible, his food. He Is a man
among US but not of us. He Is not
bone of our bone, nor flesh of our flesh,
and never can be. But he brings also q
ceasless, amachine-like, untiring indus
try which, though apparently unobtru-
sive, works into the recesses of. every
employment, at wages little lowor
than Americans can live upon, and
carefully boarding every cent Of his
earnings, ships it away to China on ev-
cry available steamer. Hs never adds
TO, but subtracts from, the resources Of
the country. He never builds up but
hastens to common decay every place
which he inhabits.
He has become gardener, cook, laun-
drymain, eigar-maker, shoemaker, and
adept to many other industries through
out the Pacific States, and wherever he
goes he defes competition, absorbing
the places of our people and driving
them away, not by force, but as locusts
drive herds from the rich pasture to
starve.

MARRIED rOR A QTHRTER OF A DOLLAR.

Yesterday forenoon, while Detroit
Justice of the peace sat warming his
feet by the stove and his nose by ci-
gar, a stranger entered and presently
enquired
Judge, how much viii you charge
me to read over about fifteen lines of
printed matter from book / haveT
"Why can't you read them7" replied
his Honor.
81 can, but I want to hear how the
lines sound when read aloud. I'll give
you quarter to read them to me-"
"All right" replied the Justice
81 can't earn two shillings any
quicker"
A woman opened the door at that
moment, and the stranger put down the
book on the desk and clasped her hand
and said:
Begin at the pencil mark there, and
read slowly"
His Honor's chin dropped exactly
Is inches by dry measure as he saw
that the reading matter was the usual
form of marriage; but he didn't back
down from his word. It was the
cheapest marriage he ever attended,
and he didn't half enjoy the chuckles
of the bride and groom as they went
out.

GENIUS AND STRONG DRINK DIVORCED.
LA v LII N II w 81
ALBANY, March H.. 2S79.

The remark is frequently heard that
it is the most gifted, the generous" fell
lows, who are most apt to fall into in
temperance. The saying is neither true
nor useful. However it may have been
formerly, it has come to pass now that,
as Prot. Swing suggests, the temperance
reform has reached first the minds that
are most gifted. "Many years ago"
he says, sit was my good fortune to
serve my country as secretary Of tenn
perance society, and in that official dig
nifty ] addressed letters of inquiry to
presidents of colleges and professors to
ask what was the quality of the young
men who, in those days, marred their
college course by the use of strong
drinks, Long letters came from Pres
ident Woolsey, of Yale, and from Hor-
ace Mann, then of Boston, and from
Prof. Moffat, of Princeton, and they all
bore testimony that genius in their col
leges drank less than stupidity; that
whisky was passing away from the
higher order of mind, and was to be
found only in possession of the more
sensual and less bright.
