OF course this list only includes those

pens to know. There are many of whom
he can tell nothing. He describes the
mortality among the children as fearful.
His estimate put the number of deaths
at over one-half the souls landed. This,
however, may be an exaggeration. He
says the Williams family from Georgia
lost twelve children. The proportion OF
deaths have certainly been very large.
The climate, he says, gives rise to fearful
ulcers.
His general summing up is that cover
one-half is dead, plenty of others perish
ing to death almos', and heap would
come back if they could. The land is
very good, but the people unaccommo-
dating and mean" He says he was
robbed of almost everything but his
money. He stopped here to attempt to
realize upon some of his claims against
the L. E. A., but learning the futility of
all such efforts, announced his intention
of "goin' home to his people, goin' to
work, and retirin' from all niger busi-
ness"
He seems, on The whole, thoroughly

HIS "REcoMMEND."- Some time
since Detroit merchant was in want of
a clerk, and he advertised the fact.
Among the numerous applicants who
sent in recommendations was young
man who had shortly before received
letter from the old man Blank, to the eff
feet that any further visits to his house
on the part of the young man could not
be permitted, and that "Mary's" future
husband was already selected. In his
haste and excitement he forwarded this
note in place of recommendation from
a mercantile house, and on discovering
his mistake he called upon the merchant
to secure the missive.
"Ahw said the merchant, as the young
man entered, "you can begin here to-
morrow. l was about to write you."
"That-that letter." began the
young man, but the merchant Interrupt
ted |:
"Best recommend in the world. Old
Blank and have been enemies for forty
six years. Any one he is down on | al
ways employ in order to aggravate him.
Come right along. I'll give you posi-
tion in the front of the store where the
old curmudgeon must see you every time
he passes, and if you want to make up
faces at him I'll pay all COSTS"
Thus are we able to furnish another
illustration that sunshine may come out
of the depths of despair.

Faces.

The human face is not only "the in
dex of the soul" Every bodily sensa-
tion leaves its indeliblc trace upon the
features. Every human face, il studied
attcntively, reveals the physical and
mental history of its possessor. On the
crowded street of the city what volumes
of these histories are open to all who
would search them. The miser with
his features drawn as tightly as the
openings of his money bags; the de.
bauchee with his sensual, semi.animal
face the young man with the future fair
and broad before him, every line of his
countenarce revealed energy and ambi-
ton; the maiden's face bright with in
nocent love and hope,-each of these
face histories is as legible as the printed
page before you. But there are other
faces in which We may read sad histories
faces of work-weary women, to whom
living has become an irksome task. The
fatal alphabet of disease is written in
every line of their countenances. Why
will these women suffer from debility
and those painful disease and weaknesses
peculiar to their sex, losing besides the
charm and beauty of bright, healthful
face, when DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

A Negroes Luck.

Mel. D. McKissick settled on the
Brazos. near Rock Dam, some twenty
FIVE years ago. Mr.. McKissick farmed,
and when the war broke out was possess
ed of many slaves, herds, and fertile
acres of land. A bachelor, he led fru-

siderable money. The reputation of
McKissick's wealth proved his death, for

the war, he was murdered. Suspicion

murderers secured, was never known, but
Mr.. McKissick's slaves always insisted

Col. Butler. State Fish Commission

Col. Butler, State Fish Commissioner,
placed one hundred and fifty thousand
young shad in the Saluda River, at the
crossing of the Air Line Railroad. 1t is
said to require three years for any in
crease of these forced emigrants to out
waters; that they will not ascend the
stream any higher than the spot at
which they are planted, but that their
progeny will, each succeeding generation,
go above its immediate ancestors and re-

first occupied by them, observing with
nicely their imaginary territorial bound
aries.

AMERICA AND CHINA.

This, in brief, said the General, with
out going further into the question, was
the objection, to Chinese emigration on
the part of Americans, who had none
but the kindest feelings toward the Chi
nese people, and who would extend to
them, if they chose to make their home
with us, the welcome they extended to
the rest of the world. He mentioned
these views, not rs bearing on the bill
to which allusion had been made in the
address, because he knew nothing about
it, but as giving in general way the
feelings of the American people toward
the Chinese. He was only citizens of
the United States, without authority in
the councils or the government of the
country, and consequently the authors
of the address have overrated his influ-
ence in the settlement of the question.
But it was one which, as an American
citizen, interested him greatly, and he
looked with pleasure to his visit to Chi
ma as enabling him to look into it and
make up his mind. He never doubted,
and no one could doubt that in the end
no matter what agitation might for the
time being effect at home, the American
people would treat the Chinese with kind
ness and justice, and not deny to the
free and deserving people of that coun-
try the asylum they offer to the rest of
the world. He begged again to thank
the members of the Chinese community
for their address, the reception of which
had given him an especial pleasure.

sented to Horace e. Clark:
We, the undersigned, regarding The
safety of the public funds as more i'm
portant than the success Of any party
nomination for City TreaslIrer-desir-
