Senate occupied the same house with

ator Bang and the other Simon Bang
One has a modest little attic, and the
other handsome suite of apartments on
the ground floor. Both gentlemen bad

clerk from little box of an establish.
ment that looked as if one could run a
stick through, shoulder up and march
of.
AS luck would have it the parcels
containing the two suits arrived nearly
at the same time, and the stupid girl
not we'll up in writing, mistook S. Bang
for Senator Bang, and Senator Bang for s.
Bang, and so served the clothes. The
Senator is simple-wayed old gentleman,
and donned the common suit unsuspec.

he had selected made up far better than
he anticipated, did the same.

But for the interference of Iimms, the

error never would have been recti6ed

WOMEN IN CH1NA.-The condition o

WOMEN IN CHINA.-Ihe condition OF
women in China is most pitiable; suffer
ing, privation, contempt, all kinds of
misery and degradation seize on her in
her cradle, and accompanying her pitt
lessly to her tomb. Her very birth is
commonly regarded as a humiliation and
disgrace to tue family-an evident sign
of the malediction of Heaven. If she is
not Immediately suffocated, she is looked
upon and treated as creature intrinsical-
ly despicable, and scarcely belonging to
the human race. This appears so incon-
testable fact, that Panhoupan, celebra-
ted, though woman, among Chinese
writers, endeayors in her works to hui
initiate her own sex by reminding them
constantly of the inferior rank they oc-
cnpy in the creation. "When son is
born" she says, "he sleeps on bed, he
is clothed with silk, and plays with
pearls; every one attends to his princely
cries. But when q girl is born she sleeps
upon the ground, is meanly wrapped up
in cloth, plays with tile. and is inca
pable of acting either virtuously or vi
ciously. She has nothing to think of but
preparing food, making wine, and not
vexing her parents" Even after mar
riage her case is not improved. Ac-
cording to expressions of an old Chinese
writer, "the newly married wife should
be but shadow and an echo in the
house." She has no right to take her
meals with her husband; nay nor even with
her male children; her dutyis to serve
them at table, to stand by them in ST.
lence,, help them to drink, and light
their pipes. She must eat alone, and af-
ter they have done, and in corner her
food is scanty and coarse, and she would
not dare to touch even what is left by
her own sons. 1t may be thought that
this does not well agree with the much
talked-of principles of filial piety; but it
must not be forgotten that in China
woman counts for nothing; the law ig-
nores her existence, or notices her mere
ly to load her with fetters, to complete
her servitude. and to confirm her legal
incapacity. Polygamy is allowed; and
the heartrending jealousies end qnarrels
that thence ensue lead te numerous sui
cides.

- According to Congressman Charles
Foster, who, BY the way, aspires to the
CSovenorship, the influence Of the next
election in the Buckeye State will be far
reaching and important. In recent
interview he says: "This election will
determine whether Tlden or Thurman
will be the Democratic candidate. If
the Republicans carry Ohio, Tilden
and the hard-money element will DOM
mate, on the theory that New York is es-
sential to Democratic success.

Go where you will in San Francisco,
you find the Chinese, and from the bay
to the foothills and the boundary lines
of San Mateo. AS to the rapid growth
of the Celestials here Lee Kan, who is
interpreter at the Bank of California,
furnishes some very interesting statistics.
He says: Cinnamon began to do busi-
ness here in 1850, and their stores were
first opened on Dupont and Sacramento
streets. During 1854 the influx was
very great. In 1860 the total number of
Chinese in the United States was about
$4,000. In 1870 there were fully $4,000.
There are now on this Continent about
10000 Chinese, 10000 of whom are
here on the Pacific coats. He believes
the Chinese population OF San Francisco
will reach $4,000, of whom about $4,000
live in the territories Of Chinatown.

extended TO all to form in procession and
march to the grove back OF Samuel Red
Ions, ir., where long table had been pre-

After the table was surrounded BY about
20 hungry Templars, grace being pro-
nounced by Rev. \. r. Sylvester, our for
mer pastor, short speech was made by
VI. X Mabry, for "all TO take right hold
and help themselves" which they did

enough TO satisfy the innerman, they moved
back and the table was quickly replenished,
