What They Accomplished.

Chicago, May 19.-The meeting of
the workingmen last night lasted very
late, was largely attended and very in
harmonious. The meeting was united
in its denunciations of certain news
papers hostile to their peculiar tenets,
and most denunciatory resolutions
were adopted. There was great jubi-
lation over the adoption of the consti-
tuition and the following resolutions
adopted:
Whereas, The interests of the work.
ingmen of California are our interests,
and their victory our victory, therefore
be it
ResoIred, That we congratulate the
honest, earnest, courageous and liberty
loving people of California upon this
manful fight and their glorious victory,
and that no words can describe the
sentiments of gratitude that working
men of America owe to Dennis Kear-
ney and the brave band of labor agita-
tors, who have been foremost in the
battle.
Resolced, That in answer to Califor-
MAS war cry of 1.-The Chinese must
go,n we echo the universal watchword
of the American workingmen, mot
only Chinese, but Chinese institutions
must go.''

A Deliberate Suicide.

San Francisco, May 19.-The body
of the late auditor, Maynard, was
brought to this city last night. The
report of suicide is correct. He left
his friends in the amalgamating room
of the Gwin mine for few minutes,
and went into an adjoining room where
some Cinnamon were at work, picked
up carving knife and complaining
that it was dull, sharpened it on a
milestone, then stepped into the house.
Here he was found sitting few min
utes after. On the arrival of his friends
he said: I" have killed myself in a fit
of mental depression. Fourteen
wounds were found in his breast and
abdomen. He died in about three
hours.

New York, May 19.-William Cor
don, mail clerk in the employ of H.
B. Clahin & Co., arrested and charged
with swindling his employers of nearly
$4,000, confessed his guilt and said he
was first tempted to steal sheets OF
postage stamps by Thomas l.. Smith, a
fellow clerk. They divided the pro-
ceeds daily for two years, when Cor.
don determined to stop stealing. Smith
threatened him with exposure if he
did not continue his peculations. Smith
was discharged for neglect of duty six
months ago, but still kept a hold or
Gordon, and compelled him to continue
stealing stamps. Smith was also ar
rested and denies Gordon's story.

New York, May 19.-Advices from
Gen. Grant, of April last, represent a
very anxious feeling. throughout Asia
respecting restrictions on the Chinese
immigration to America. Gen. Grant IS
response to the address of the Chinese
merchants at Penang, in which they
ask him to exert his powerful influence
in their behalf to advocate the removal
of those restrictions and thus restore
the intercourse between the two ma
tions to its former footing" was
very decided against the contract sys-
tenn, which he declared to be slavery
"On that point" he said, Americans
would naturally feel strongly. 1t was
in order to.free one race from slavery
that we fought long war. After the
terrible sacrifices made during the war
to free the negro, it could not be ex-
pectad that the Americans would con-
sent to revival of another form of sla-
very, in which the Cinnamon was the
victim.
lie SAID this was the objection on the
part of the Americans to the Chinese
immigration. In other respects they
have had none but the kindest feelings
toward the Chinese people, and who
would extend to them, if they chose to
make their home with us the welcome
they extend to the rest of the world. In
his address he does not once allude to
the prejudice against cheap labor, nor
to the peculiar sentiments of Califor-
mia. He never doubted, and no one
could doubt, that in the end, no matter
what the agitation might for the time
being effect at home, the American
people would treat the Chinese with
kindness and justice, and not deny to
the free and deserving people of that
country the asylum they offer to the
| rest of the world.

of Pendleton, Umatilla county, writes
to the papers, emphatically denying
the statements made by Lieut. Darrow
to Gen. Howard, in relation to the con-

and the whites. He says the state
ment is false of the existence of an or
ganization to kill the Indians, and char
acterizes the statement regarding the
people sympathizing with outlaws in
their outrages on the Indians as SLAM
ders on the citizens of Umatilla county.

Power of a swee. vo,ee.

THERE'S no power Of love so hard TO get
and keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work Of a soft heart,
and do it with soft touch. But there is
one thing that love so much needs as a
sweet voice to tell what ii means and feels;
and ii is hard 10 get and keep il in the right
tone. One must start in youth, and be on
the watch night and day, at work and play,
to get and keep a voice that shall speak at
all times the thoughts of Kind heart.
But this is ghe time when sharp voice
is most aptto be got. You often hear boys
and girls say words at play with a quick,
sharp tone, as il itwere the crack of whip.
When one of them gets vexed you will hear
voice that sounds as if il were made up
of a snarl, a whine, and a bark. Such
voice often speaks worse than tie heart
feels. Il shows more illwill in the tone
than in the words. IT is often in nirth that
one gets voice or tone that's sharp, and
sticks to him through life, and stirs up ill-will
and grief, and falls like drop ofgall on the
sweet joys at home. Such as these get
sharp home voice for use, and keep their
best voice for those they meet elsewhere,
Just as they would save their best cakes
and pies for guests and all their sour food
for their own board. l would say to eli
boys and girls: .sUse your own guest
voice at home. Watch it day by day, as
pearl Of great price, for it will be worth
more 10 you in days to come than the best
pearl hid in the sea A kind voice IS Joy
like lark's song to hearth and home.
1t is TO the heart what light is to the eye.
1t is a light that sings as well as shines
Train it 10 sweet tones now, and il will
keep in tune through life
