A Libel Upon California.

San Francisco Examiner.l
Ii is an atrOciOus scandal upon this
community to intimate that this city
owes it growth and greatness to the
Mongolians. There are three-quarters
of a million of C~aueasians in Califor-
MIA, and not to exceed one hundred
thousand Chinese, nineteenth of whom
are Coolies. OF the hundreds of
millions worth Of property in San
Francisco, not one-thousandth part
belongs to the Chinese. They have
no standing in the community or So
ciety; they embark in no enterprises
of magnitude they engage in no
worthy works. First and last they
are as leeches, an incubus and a curse
to the city. Such a contingency is
utterly impossible but, were it even
possible that the future Of San Fran
cisco or California should depend
upon Chinese immigration. the future
can be readily predicted. The coming
Marius could in less than half q CEN
fury sit upon the ruins, as the eele-
brated Roman sat upon those of
Carthage.

Funny scandal at Paris Jealous
wife of an officer on duty at Versailles,
having reason to believe that he was
oyer-attentive to a young actress, goes
to Versailles and obtains an engage
ment for n night only in the chorus

The play drags; she is too late to get
home by the last train she doesn't

Paris to give her a joyful surprise,
finds that she has gone out closely
yelled and does not return till Z am.
