WOMEN IN CHINA.-The condition OF
women in China is most ptiablc; suffer
ing, privatioD, contempt, all kinds OF
misery and degradation seize on her in
her cradle, and accompanying her pitt
lessIy TO her tomb. Her very birth is
commonly regarded as humiliation and
disgrace 10 tie f,miiy-an cviden. sign
of the malediction Of Heaven If she is
not Immediately s,.iIocatcd, she is looked
upon and treated as creature intrinsical-
ly despicablc, and scarcely belonging to
the human race. This appears 50 incon-
testabc Il fact, that Panhoupan, cclebra-
ted. though woman, among Chinese
writer's, endcayors in her works 10 hu-
initiate her own sex by reminding them
constantly Of the inferior rank they oc.
chry in the creation. "Whcn a son is
born" she says, she sleeps on bed, he
is clothed with silk, and plays with
pearls every one attends TO his princely
cries. Bat when Il girl is born she sleeps
upon the ground is mcanly wrapped up
in a cloth, plays with tile, and is inca
pnblc Of acting either yir;nously or vi
ciously. She has nothing TO think Of but
preparing food, making wine, and not
vexing her parents" Even after mar
rlage her case is not improved. Ac-
cording to expressions OF an ole; Chinese
writer, "thc newly married wife should
be but u shadow and an echo in the
house" She has 40 right to take her
mo'.s with her husband; nay nor even with
her male children; her duty is TO serve
them :.t table. TO stand by them in 81
lcnce, help them 20 drink, and light
their pipes. She must cat alone, and af
ter they have done, and in Il corner her
food is scanty and coarse, and she would
not dare to touch even what is left by
her own sous. 1t may be thought that
this does not well agree with the much
talkcd-of principles of fiial picty; but it
must not be forgotten that in China
woman counts for nothing; the law ig-
norc5 her existence, or notices her mere
ly to lnad her with letters, to complete
her scrvitudc. and to confirm her legal
incapacity. Polygamy is allowed and

THE IRISH LANGUAGE IN IRELAND
Early in the present century the Irish
language was spoken more or less in
every county througout Ireland. 1t is
estimated that one-fOurth of the gross
population, or about 100000 people,
spoke English exclusively, while prob
ably an equal or somewhat greater num-
Der knew Irish only. In the interve-
ming period down to the present time, n
great change has taken place, as is con
clusively shown in the census of 1861
and 1871. In all Ireland. now only
abou, 1862, ,40O,or one in thrty-six of the
gross population, still know no ether
tongue than Irish. When Charleton
first issued his Traits and Stories of the
Irish Pcasantry" his narrative contained
II large number of Irish words, which in
subsequent editions ne found it necessary
to move, as they were no longer under
stood, and DR.. Hume tells us that even
in their modified form, there are hun
dreds, probably thousands, in Dublin who
can not enjoy Chareton's stories. The
existing dialect, which is more or less
prevalent over the thirty-two counties,
with, Of course, local variations here and
there, is the result mainly of the sue
cessivc English and Scottish immigra-
tions.-S1furd0y Rericw.

Go where you will in San Francisco,

to the foothills and the boundary lines
of San Mateo. As to the rapid growth
of the UeIestials 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 onened on Dupont and Sacramento
streets. During 1S53-64 the influx was
very great. In 1860 the total number of
CD Ciiia5sssse IN ss in Tho United States was about
10000. In 1870 there were fully $4,000.
There are now on thir Continent about
10000 Chinese, 160, 900 of whom are
here on the Pacific coats. he believes
the Chinese population OF San francisco
will reach 10000, of whom about $4,000

THE SECOND TUNNEL BENEATH THE
ALPs.-The great St. Gothard-aiter
passing through many vicissitudes, will
be ready for traffic some time next year.
1t has already been bored for a distance of
little more than seven and half miles,
which q seventy feet more than the
length of the Mont Gents. There re-
mained on January 6 on!y 2,3222 yards
to be cleared, and If the work progresses
as rapidly rs last year, when 2,772 yards
were bored, the two companies of work
men who started from the Italian and
Swiss ends would meet in January, 1880.
Biologists have calculated that there is
O hard stratum of serpentine and schist
yet to pass, and if this proves true the
work cannot proceed so rapidly. But in
any event the worknen are likely to
meet before the year progresses many
months beyond January. The tunnel's
length will be more than mile and q
half greater than that of Mont Gents,
and the total cost several million pounds
sterling more. The German, Italian
and Swiss Governments havo granted in
subsidies f4,520,000.

morning Leo NIII, was about to cat
some raw eggs, as it was his wont every
morning, and requested Commander
Sterbini, the gentleman serving him, to
bring him some salt to eat with them.
Sterbini, presenting the salt on solid
silver tray. accidentally let it slip
from his hands, and the salt fell but
only ON the table. Tho Pope rose mme-
diatoiy, carefully looked to SEQ whether
any of the grains had reached the ground.
Only see." he said, 'the salt ia upset,
and, had it fallen on the ground. I be-
lieve should not have got over it to-
day" He then took out a pocket hook
and noted the fact. observing at the same
time, ''tnat we shall see whether we shall
have some beloved cardinal to dcplore
before long" Nine days after the sad
news of Cardinal Asquini's death reached
tho Vatican, and the Pope, handing to
Sterbini his pocket book, requested him
to read aloud To those around the note ho
had made nine days before. Then
breaking the silence, lie said: Had
the salt been scattered on the floor in

The presidency Of the convention Is
m exceedingly honorable as we'll a.

been held in Louisiana by able men,
Julian poydras being the president Of
the convention Of 1912, Gov. Joseph
Walker Of that Of ls45, Hon. Duncan
Y. Kenner Of that Of 1852 and Gov.
Alexander MOuton Of that Of 1861.
We ignore the two radical molm which
they termed conventions. The most
experienced, as well as one Of the
ablest, members Of the new conven-
ton is the Hon. Andrew s. Heron, Of
East Baton Rouge. He has been
elected to three conventions, some
thing which never happened before to
any other man in America. He Inns
been q member Of boil, branches Of
the Legislature, as well % Attorney
General and Secretary Of State. He
ought to have been Governor and u.
$. Senator long ago. But every time
his name is mentioned cry is raised
that he il an old politician and on
"old fogy," which simply means that
he has an enlarged experience and
that he has spent Ills life in the
service Of the Democracy. We do not
apprehend as much danger in tho
convention from the "old fogies" rs
from tho "young fogies," if we may
appropriate u bon mot ola distinguish

is entitled to the presidency and can
easily unite on Col. Heron and elect

THE HISTORY OF A NOTORIOUS

New York, March 29.--Wcdncs-
day, a haggand woman, dressed in
rags and covered with filth, tottercd
into the station-house and begged for
II nights lodging. She was shown an
apartment reserved for such homeless
waits, and sank down on the floor in
seeming exhaustion. Yesterday, when
Officer Zaman stopped before the
wrctchcd looking creature, in her wan
face, with all the signs Of dissipation,
and under the rags and tattcrs that
covered her, he recognized a woman
who ten years ago figured in one Of
the most sensational tragedies Of the
day. She was Fannie Wright, then a
notorious woman, who, on the nine
teenth Of October, 1867, stabbed and
instantly killed Officer McCl'csney.
The trial attracted considerable in
tercst Mt the time and revealed the
secrets of a lifetime, which were
Of u very peculiar character. Fannie
Wright was then twenty years old.
She was the daughter Of a respectable
Poughkcepsie family, which she had
fed from when quite yonng to abau-
don herself to Il career Of vice. When
the news of her arrest reached her
family they made u strong effort in
her behalf. The jury found q verdict
of murder in the first degree and Fan
ME was condemned to the State
prison for life. Her counsel, however,
by vigorous exertions, succeeded in
securing a new trial. This time, by
the introduction of new evidence and
legal tecllnicalities, a verdict Of muir
der in a minor degree was found and
the defendant sent to the State prison
fora shorter period. After two years.
confinement her family induced the
Governor to sign her pardon. Nothing
had been heard Of her for years till
yesterday. In addition to sickness
and debility her mind was found to
be wandering. She was given in
charge of the Commissioners Of Chair
ties and Correction and sent to the
hOsDitaI.
