with an imprecatiOn, all over the fruit, stuffed a

that he would have him prosecuted for keeping

and drove all the policemen off the street. Thus
far the fun went on all the morning. The fruit
dealer never laughed so much in bis lie. The
occupants of the adjacent and opposite stores and
a shOal of small boys soon learned what was up,
and watched and joined in a ringing roar as each
new victim tried cherries. Finally a solemn
looking countryman lounged up, inquired the
price of them ere New Zealand Cherries in

it out again, gave the iruit-dealera lingering look

tendencies to practical jokes had a blue eye, a red
nose, a purple face, a spraiDed wrist, and several
bushels Of fruit scattered around among the small
boys, while the same ringing roar of laughter
was going up from the lOOkers-On.

Rapid Growth.

The growth Of the Roman Catholic Church in
the New England States has been very great in
half a century. The SIX States were first erected
into an Episcopal See in 1908. But even as late
as 1925 this See comprised only one bishop, three
priests and seven small churches or ehapelS. AZ
ter that the growth became much more rapid
In 1850 the Catholic population was estimated at
100 ,OOO-s There are now in New England SIX d.
oceses, namely. those of Boston, Hartford. Burl-
lngton, Portland, Springfield and Providence.
The Catholic Year Book for 1877 reported $50
priests in New England, $50 churches, 81 chap
els and stations. two colleges. with $40 students;
80 academies and select schools, 20 parochial
schools, l9 asylums, seven hospitals. 40 converts,
with sol sisters, and 3 periodicals. At the be-
ginning OF the present year the Roman Catholic
population Of New England was estimated at
Sol 900.

Cetewavo,s Sentiments.

- like your guns said C~etewayo. "
think If we could make such good guns as your
we could also soon make as good a Bible ?"
MissIOnary-As good a Bible?
Cetewayo-Yes. You see your Bible is elastic
Ii stretches so as to cover almost anything yoI
want to DO. For instance, you want my land
You look into your Bible. You find that it com
mands you 70 go abroad and preach the Gospe
70 every creature. IF the creatures won't hear
you. you make them hear you with your guns
You take their land. Then, of course, they must
hear your Gospel. You have the pleasure of con-
verting them and getting their land besides.
That is a good Bible. l wish / had such good
guns. | would have such a Bible also.
MissiOnary-Would you Hke to visit England
King?
Cetewayo-Can you roast me a whole OK daily?
MissIonary-Well, King, the fact is we haven I
got quite enough beef for our own people.
Still
Cetewayo-Why do you keep so many more
people than you can feed well? Why don't you
kill the runts when they're first born?
Missionary-King, that is murder.
Cetewayo-So is slow starvation. | have
heard that many of your people don't get enough
to eat.
MissiOnary-But, King. the commandment
says
Cetewayo-Yes, yes. 1t says thou shalt not
covet thy neighbors OK, nor bis ass, nor his
lands. Thou shalt not steal. Thou art the man.
Thou
Missionary-Hold on, King!
Cetewayo-I see you don't like having your
guns turned on you. Then you know how well
they shoot, don't you?
Missionary-But, King. you don't realize all
the blessings of civilization. Why it gives US
Cetewayo-Taxes. Does your civilization give
every man a house and lot?
Missionary-Well, no.
Cetewayo-And three square meals a day
MIssionary-Well-
CetewayO-And pure air like ours in your six
story tenement pigeon-holes?
Missionary-Well-
Cetewayo-Does it teach you to stay at home,
mind your business and not modest your
neighbors?
Missionary-Well-But. King, civilization has
done one thing fer us. We never have but one
wife.
Cetewayo-What! Never?
MissiOnary-Well, har- But, King, we don't
keep harems in
my ears that the son of your Queen But he'sa
jolly good fellow. Were he but here l would
make him a second Solomon in wives and wisdom.
But | want my fourteen wives for company. ls
your one wife always company for you?
Missionary-Oh, certainly.
Cetewayo-Do you always stay at home even
Never go to the club, or the lodge, or have

Fever and ague has been spreading rapidly in
the valley of che Connecticut river In the last few
years, having been extending from the westward
and it is getting to be the prevailing disease in
that region, making its appearance in places
where it has hitherto been unknown. Sometimes
it is ofthe ordinary type, and sometimes accompa-
MED by congestive chills, when it is almost al
ways fatal. Where it appears 1t supplants ty-
phOid fever, which has been the prevailing dis
ease. The existence of large areas of low and
marshy land may in part account for the appear
ance of the fever and ague, though it remains to
explain why the disease has not previously pre-
vailed. But the drainage and cultivation of
these lands would doubtless be promotiye of good
health.

Cinnamon in San Francisco.
HE NUMBER OF CELEsTIALs IN THE CITY AN
WHAT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN.

1t is a common remark. says the San Francisco
Alta, that the Chinese are monopolizing certain
branches of trade in this city, but few persons
have an idea of the extent to which they have
entered into competition with white labor. The
following figures will prove of interest:
There are in the city 81 Chinese dealers in gen.
eral merchandise; clothing, 43; groceries, 1873;
cigars, "a; tobacco, /; boots and shoes, SO;
slippers, u; dry goods, 6; shirts, 9; ladies' I'M
derwear, 6; rufiing, 2; fancy goods, 4; furnish
ing goods, l; gents underwear. B; jewelry, 4;
drugs, 20; opium, 4; meats, 8; provisions, g;
poultry. 10; slaughterers, 10; restaurants, 27;
tinware, 10; bars, AZ; rice, 3; fruits. 27; clocks,
l; wood, %; fish, Z; junk, 9; produce, l.; chop
house, l; hardware, l; boarding-house 3; lodg-
ing-house, 3; tailoring, l; Chinese goods, 2;
secondhand furniture, l; teas, g; collins, 3.
boxes, l; bakery, l: ginger, l; japanese goods,
/.
There are some $50 Chinese wash-houses, $50
basket peddlers of fruit and produce, $50 mer-
chandise peddlers who peddle perlumery, combs,
fancy goods and baberdasheTy Of all kinds.
There are three Chinese intelligence Offices, one
Chinese insurance company, besides several
others owned by Chinese but run by white
agents. OF Merchandise brokers there are eight;
pawn brokers %. There are six Chinese banks
that do a money-broking and exchange business.
Of Chinese theatres, there are three. There are
six or eight Chinese passenger and clearinghouse
runners, who run up and down the coast steamers
and railroad trains. these men are employed
principally by the railroad and steamboat compa-
MES to solicit passengers for them. There are
some II Chinese teamsters and draymen driving
their own drays, besides a large number in the
employ OF others. In addition to the above
enumerated table may be added hundreds and
possibly thousands of Cinnamon who conduct
their business in such a manner as to evade the
law and the payment of the license it imposes,
together with still other thousands that are in the
employ of our merchants and manufacturers

Colt was living a bachelor life a staid. temper
ance citizen went to him and solicited a subscrip-
ton IN aid Of a new church building. - Yes"
said Colt, LII give you something provided
you take a glass Of brandy and water with me
and let me mix the drink-Iu give you $500 -
The temperance man said be never drank. bat
Colt said he would give under no other consider
alton. Total abstinence and moral convictions
held IN the balance against the good cause, and
finally the man yielded. Colt gave him an unus-
ually solid drink, and then drew his check for
$500. The man started on a run almost for his
house, and went to bed as speedily as possible,
having aboard Colts brandy and check as heavy
weights, and when he awOke sober-minded he
looked at the $500, and forgave himself his tenn
porary stupor, and has since to this day been a
consistent temperance man.

\ Troy inventor will shortly take out a patent
for a cataphOne. By means Of wires stretched
along the backyard fences and hOuse-tops he con-
veys, with the aid OF some simple machinery, all
cOncatenate caterwauls into an air-tight barrel.
By another simple continuance the sound in the
barrel can be compressed. and can be used in
quantities for fire and burglar alarms. The inven-
tor predicts that he will give TO the boys some

A regularity of the climate of
Galveston in winter, and until late
in the spring, is the dropping Of
what is called the "night dew"
During the whole night, commenc-
ing at eleven O'Clock and lasting
until near sunrise, a sound as OF
gentle rainfall is heard. Though
the moon and the stars may be
shining clearly, ana not cloud to
be seen, 1t Is the same-the caves OF
the houses are dropping water you
hear the constant fall upon the tin
roofs overhead-on the porch be-
yond your windows. In the morn
ing you are surprised to see the evil
denee, seemingly, ofa heavy shower
Just before day. The streets look as
though they had been heavily
sprinkled to lay the dust. The
phenomenon does not occur in hot
weather, unless cold norther
sweeps down from Denver end the
Rockys.

Protest against the QuarantInes.

Protest against the Quarantines.
At a meeting held at Memphis
on the 18th inst, by the Chamber
of Commerce and Cotton Exchange,
the following preamble and resolu-
tions were unanimously passed
The citizens and merchants of
Memphis, on behalf of the city and
of its citizens, regret the hasty and
unjust action of the authorities of
the State eff Arkansas and OF New
Orleans and other cities in proclaim
ing a quarantine against us in adj
vance of any epidemic in the city.
We regret that the railroad trains
of the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad have been discontinued
under the direction of the Governor
of Arkansas, and that the steam
boats plying between Memphis and
towns in Arkansas are forbidden
from landing at points in Arkansas.
We know of no sufficient cause to
warrant such extraordinary con-
duct. Acting in good faith towards
our own citizens and to the public,
the Board of Health of Memphis
has announced the first appearance
of a few sporadic cases of yellow
fever. The chances are that we
will have no epidemic, and certain
ly there is no reason at the present
time to prevent the most timid and
prudent person from coming into
or'remaiping in Memphis. There
Is surely no reason to apprehend
any infection from citizens leaving,
or any goods of any character going
from this city. We need make no
argument on this occasion. There
have been no new cases for three
days, According to the best infor-
nation, there is no epidemic here
of yellow fever, and no reason to
believe there will be. Therefore,
we most respectfully request the
Board of Health of the State of Ar
kansas to send its own representa-
tive to this city to examine and re-
port to the State authorities, and in
the meantime we respectfully urge
that the order of quarantine against
Memphis be revoked. The city of
Memphis has in all respects COM
piled with the rules and regulations
prescribed by the National Board
of Health.
Resolved, That Arkansas, New
Orleans and other cities that have
quarantined against us be requested
to observe and respect the rules and
regulations suggested by the Ma
ti0naI Board of Health and adop-
ted by the Sanitary Council of the
Mississippi Valley.

Advice 20 u. :. marshaIs.

The United States Marshal at
Denver having inquired if he should
continue to serve warrants i'm Grim
inal cases, Attorney General De-
wins answers:
Il advise you to perform the
usual duties of your Office, which
you are in no way forbidden to do,
to the extent OF your power. No
appropriations for Marshals and
their Deputies has been made, nor
can make any promise or any con-
tract that this provision shall here
after be made, but your duties, so
far as the law contemplates by fees,
seems to me to constitute good
ground of obligation against the
United States where the services of
Deputies are required and expendi-
lures are to be made. / recognize
the difficulties you may have to en-
counter in all this matter. You
will have to rely on your expecta-
ton of future legislation by Con-
gress that shall be lust TO you.
All other expenses except the fees
Of Marshals and Deputies have been
provided for,
