Harry Worms Shadow.

Harry Worn discovered in San Fran
cisco, seven years ago, that Anna Nor
ris, whom he was to marry, had also a
matrimonial engagement with another
man. Harry had given her seven thou
sand dollars worth CT jewelry, clothes,
and money, showing how much he loved
her, but on learning of her deception be
said decisively that she could never be
his wife. She thought differently, and
threatened to shoot him if he discarded
her. To avoid trouble he came to New
York. She followed, showed him pis-
tol that she had bought, and declared
that she would kill him if he did not
marry her. He fled to Buffalo, and for
four years did not see her; but she
turned up at length, and renewed her
threats. He appeased her with five
hundred dollars, and went to Chicago.
He met her in the street few days ago.
She asked him if he was ready to marry
her. He said no. She coolly put her
hand under her seal-skin sack, and drew
out the same old pistol. He seized her,
but she wriggled away through the
crowd that had gathered and escaped.
But Mr.. Worn expects to see her again.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says that during
the past few weeks the subject of Chi
nese immigration has been often dis
cussed among members of the Admins
tration, and has been under discussion
at length in Cabinet meetings. Neither
the President nor any member of the
Cabinet attempts to conceal his views
as to this matter. 1t is talked of quite
freely among themselves and their
friends, and there is no disposition to
throw the charm of secrecy around the
matter, or withhold opinions.
The President and Secretary Evarts
are more pronounced in their views
against wholesale Chinese immigration
than are other members of the Admin
istration. Secretary Evarts does not
speak of it as immigration, but calls it
can INVASION" as the Chinese that flock
to our Pacific shores can hardly be styled
settlers" in the ordinary acceptation
of the term. In the matter of money
and property they bring nothing, and
expect to take back all their earnings
and finally lay their bones in the soil of
China. This, in the opinion of the
President and Secretary Evarts, is not
immigration, but comes nearer the def
milton of invasion. -=..z..#-
McCrary and Thompson are almost,
but not quite, as decided in their views
on the subject as the President and
Evarts. They do not think the influx
OF Cinnamon can properly be called an
invasion, but they are emphatic in their
opinions that it should be stopped
The mildest of the Cabinet are Devens
and Key Devens does not believe any
active steps should be taken to protect
ourselves from Chinese immigration any
more than from German, Irish, English,
or African immigration, for that matter
He thinks we cannot safely discriminate
against any class of people, no matter
what their color, or for what wages they
are willing to labor Judge Key holds
pretty much the same view. He thinks
it is something like the negro question
South. If the Cinnamon were voters,
and uniformly voted with one party, as
the negroes do, we would have on the
Pacific slope almost identically the race
complications now existing in the South.
Secretary Sherman holds about the
same views as Thompson aud McCrary.
Summed up, it will be seen that the
tone of the Government is ti-Chinese,
so far as the influx of Cinnamon to the
Pacific slope is concerned.

Stories of DOg-stealers.

Sir Edwin Landseer used to tell a
story of dog-stealer OF his acquaint-
ance who once restored to friend of
Sir Edwin valuable spaniel two weeks
after the time agreed upon when the
matter was negotiated Sir Edwin up
braiding the man for his delay, the lat
ter finally said Well, the truth is, Sir
Edwin-you see, had to steal him back
from an old lady to whom | sold him for
twenty guineas. She never higgled
about the price, and she was so fond Of
the dog / didn't think it would be Chris
tian not to let her have few days pleas
ure of him." This beautiful tale is
quite paralleled by one which Truth
now tells us of one Mr.. Page, a gentle
man whose recent condemnation to i'm
prisonment for stealing dog in London
elected much sympathy in dog-stealing
circles: "When he was being led from
the dock friend of his touched Mr..
Montagu Williams, who had defended
him, on the shoulder" eve have pre-
pared for you a little surprise, he said !;
you lost valuable dog little while
ago; we have brought him back, and he
is in house close by" Mr.. Williams
could not go to the house, but gave the
address to which he wished the dog to
be taken, and on going home in the eve
ming he found it there.

Caleb Cushing,

The following anecdote has never
before appeared in print: Some years
ago an unabridged dictionary was pub.
lished, and a copy sent to Mr.. Gushing,
with an intimation that a favorable
criticism would be acceptable. Glanc-
ing down the first page Mr.. Gushing dis
covered few errors. Turning over he
found several others. Not being espe-
cially occupied at the time, he continued
his examination throughout the volume,
and succeeded in detecting fire thousand
errors. He thereupon wrote to the pub
fishers that he considered it asking too
much of him when they asked for rec
ommendation of work containing five
thousand errors. They reported the fact
to a prominent college President, who
was editorially connected with the work,
and he sent a note of remonstrance to
Mr.. Gushing, strongly limiting that he
had exaggerated. Mr.. Gushing immedi-
ately went to work at the beginning of
the dictionary and copied two full quires
of paper with the errors OF the work,
and his authorities, which he sent to the
President, who was afterward satisfied
to let the matter drop.

Laziness as a Disease.

Laziness, says the Ladies Journal, is
a bad disease, and, like many other
kinds, is often self-imposed. In the case
of many individuals, it is an inherited
malady, and consequently hard to GUST
from the system. But it is oftener the
case that the disgusting temper is
brought on persons by their own DELHI
crate selfishness by vastly discredit-
able disposition to shirk the inevitable
burdens incident to living decent life.
Laziness of this kind is one of the car
dinal sins, and should submit the OBJ
noxious offender to the dicipline Of the
treadmill. More particularly is laziness
offensive to the young and healthy. To
learn to work, and work cheerfully, is
the central lesson of life. Begin to
learn it early-eschew laziness as the
most disgusting of all faults, and one
that will surely end in hopeless misery
for, depend upon it, none can be so in
sensible through laziness as to be, in the
end, incapable of suffering. Nature is,
in the event of non-payment of her
demands, stern and meIciless creditor.

"THE Chinese must COP i,a crv tba

THE Chinese must gop is a cry that
Is heard not in California only, but the
whole world over wherever they have
settled in considerable numbers. Such
is the case in British Columbia, New
Zealand, New South Wales, Australia,
and the Sandwich Islands. They come
to these countries without wives or
families, live, closely packed together, on
the cheapest food that will sustain life,
save all the money they can with a view
to returning to China with their earn
ings as soon as they can, and, being thus
enabled to work at lower prices than the
native workmen possibly can, soon OBJ
tain a monopoly of one department of
labor after the other. In New Zealand
they have been set TO work upon the
railroads, but have been driven away by
the white laborers. In New South Wales
the cabinet-making trade has passed en-
tirely into their hands, and they are
taking the place of white cooks and SER
wants in the hotels.

PRUSSIA'S WEALTH.

The Prussian income tax returns of
the present year indicate that that coun-
try does not possess a very large number
of wealthy people. According to the
official record there are only one hun
dred and seventy-nine persons in the
kingdom who have an income of more
than $50, 200 per annum, and this mum
Der includes two members of the Roth
schild family and Herr Krupp, of Essen,
the famous cannon manufacturer As
regards income, these three stand in the
order in which they are given, though
as the names are not made public-the
income and the district are alone given
it is impossible to say which of the
two Rothschild brothers is the wealthier.
On descending scale it is found that
only !, 240 individuals report annual re-
ceipts of over $4,000. Compared with
this country, even in these days of bust
ness depression, this is an exceedingly
poor showing.
Twelve thousand dollars is, no doubt,
a large sum of money, and it probably
represents more with the Prussians than
does with us; but after making aN
needed allowances, we are almost forced
to the alternative that income in Prussia
must be Systematically underestimated,
or else that there is larger number of
fairly wealthy people in Philadelphia
than in that entire country. Although
there is no way of definitely proving tn
assertion, it cannot be considered an ex-
travagant statement to say that proba-
bly, 800 persons in Philadelphia will
this year have an income of not less
than $4,000. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that certain income in
most European countries represents, far
more than it does here, acquired prop
erty from which it is derived. In one
case it is the natural, though small, re-
turn received upon past accumulations,
while in the other it may be due, almost
wholly, to the rapid development of the
country and represents little but itself

Color Of the Sea.

The color of the ocean, when free from
admixture of foreign substances, as ami
malcules, vegetable organisms, excessive
rain, or the tinted waters of swollen
rivers, is pure deep blue, which be-
comes less marked where the water is of
less depth. A different color of sea
water is due to the presence of some for
eign substance,.e, g., the red, brown, and
white patches of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans to the presence of swarms of ami
malcules, and the colors of the Red and
Yellow Seas to matters of vegetable orr
gin. The Rhone, at its emergence from
the Lake of Geneva and the lake itself,
exhibit ar intensity of blue far surpass-
ing that of any sea. The phosphores-
cence of the sea is due to the presence
of myriads of invertebrata, especially
rhizopoda, tunicato, etc.

the Small Boy " Has Some Fun"
fKochester Exnrsss

He was naturally cruel, and he told
an acquaintance one day that he had a
new trick to play on the public-some-
thing entirely new. He had a long
string and brass key tied to the end OF
1t, which he said was the instrument
of torture. Over the front sidewalk a
maple tree sent some pretty strong
branches, making seat hidden by
leaves. Into this, after dark, the boys
climbed.
Now wait" said the principal, "till
the first victim comes, and don't make
a Noise"
Pretty soon an acknowledgment
woman came along, and Just as she had
passed he let drop the key on the hard
sidewalk, Immediately pulling it up
again Both now watched develop
ments. The woman came to a sudden
stop, began fumbling in her pocket, aud
wondered what she could have dropped
She started on, but had not gone far
before she came back, impelled by Gu
riosity, and began careful search of
the walk. Meanwhile the boys in the
tree had stuffed their fists in their
mouths to keep from soaring the game,
and dared hardly look below for fear
of laughing out. A sympathetic sister
came along, and together they picked
up stones and turned over all the chips
on the walk. No money, no key, moth
ing did they find and so went on to
their homes, perhaps to worry all night !;
or perhaps giggle in the tree turned
their looks of disappointment into
cheap smile, and laugh from the same
place made them have awful wicked
thoughts about boys.
One victim found piece of tin, and
laying the cause of the noise to that,
was saved from great deal of worry.
But when she picked it up and threw it
down several times to test the sound,
the boys nearly fell out of the tree. A
man, when caught, would slap all of his
pockets and glance around little, but
it was seldom that he was brought to q
hardpan search. When anyone saw
the trick after searching half an hour
and saying all kinds of little things for
the amusement of the boys, he simply
went away hurriedly. There was no
remark to make, no name to call To
get out of sight as soon as possible
seemed to be most desirable. The trick
is harmless-no one breaks a leg or
loses an eye in its process. 1t might be
recommended to constitutionally tired
boys as a good way to sweep the walk.
The victims will throw all chips and
stones into the street by curiosity
power, as it were.

The English post-office continues to
be used as means of transmitting
articles of almost every variety from one
part of the country to another. The
following articles, among others, were
observed during the year: A dormouse,
four white mice, two goldfnches, a
lizard, and blind worm, all alive
cutlery, medicine, varnish, ointments,
perfumery, articles of dress, stoat, a
squirrel, fish, leeches, frogs, beetles, cat
erpilars, and vegetables. Many of these,
being prohibited articles, were sent to
the Returned Letter Office. A snake,
about yard in length, which had been
committed to the post for transmission
in box, was observed to be at large on
the floor of one of the night mail sorting
carriages on the London & Northwestern
Railway. After good deal of confusion
and interruption to the work it was
killed. A small box which reached the
Returned Letter Office in Liverpool was
found, on being opened, to contain eight
living snakes.

Detroit Free Press Currency.

Twenty-Five Legislatures and Con-
gress are IN session, aud patents for three

ica," and it mildly suggests that three
of them had better own up to something
or other.
The man who boasts that he has trav-
eled all over the world is pretty certain
not to tell how many times he was put
off trains for having no money to pay

CAPT. PAUL BoYToN, the famous
swimmer who crossed the English Chan
mel, and who has just returned from
Europe, has number of queer expert
ences to relate. At one time, while float
ng down the Danube and enjoying nap,
he was awakened by the dashing sound
of large mill wheel, under which the
rapid current was carrying him. He
could not escape, and turning himself
upon his face he was carried under the
wheel, the paddles cutting severe cash
in his head. He was finally taken from
the water by some persons, and tainted
from exhaustion and loss of blood. In
crossing the Straits of Messina he had a
desperate fight with shark, and though
he drove the fish off, one of his ribs was
broken by blow from its tail. While
floating down the Lomme he received a
charge of shot in hisupturned feet from
a hunter who, in the twilight, mistooB
these members for duck.

"FIFTEEN million French people learn
only through their almanacs the desti-
MES of Europe, the laws of their coun-
try, the progress of sciences, arts, in
dustry, their duties and their rights"
So says one of those almanacs, which
ought to be authority on such a subject,
provided it is both we'll informed and
truthful. Certainly French almanacs
cover a large ground, social and scien-
tific, cosmic and comic. There are the
Cooks, Cultivator's, Lady's, Lawyers,
Joker's, Sportsman's, Songster's, Vine
dresser's almanacs; almanacs of Dolls,
Dances, Dreams, Drinking, and Dining
almanacs of New Songs, Old Songs,
Comic Songs, Plaintive Songs, Patriotic
Songs, and Wedding Songs; almanacs of
the Garden, the Church, the Restau-
rant, the Theater, the Drawing Room ;
almanacs of Games, Riddles, Puns,
Jests, Drolleries, Parlor Magic; alma
macs of Health, History, and Contempt
raneous Celebrity. Now, though such
almanacs as the Prophetic and the AS
THEOLOGICAL do what they can to enlighten
fifteen millions of Frenchmen on the
destinies of Europe; and although alma
macs of Card Tricks and the Language
of Flowers may show advances in sci
ence, we should be sorry 10 think that
many millions get their morals from the
Thieves Almanac, or the Almanac of
Street Walkers. There must, there
fore, be a cautious proviso in indorsing
the motto that appears on the title page
of one of the almanacs: "Pour instruc-
ton into the head of the people; you
owe them that baptism"

A "RABBIT Suppression bill' has
been passed by the Legislative Assem-
bly, of Victoria, The bill, which is in.
tended to deal with the evil caused in
the colony by superhuity of rabbits,
was introduced by the Minister of
Lands who in moving the second reading
drew avivid picture of the desolation
caused by them in certain districts. On
the occasion of a recent visit paid by
him to-a district where they abounded
he passed over tracts which were now
CRASHES, the rabbits having devoured
the heritage, roots and all. Power is
given by the bill to 90 upon private
property and destroy rabbits at the ex-
pense of the owner, aud anybody turn
ing rabbits loose in district is liable to
penalty of $50 for each offense.

The Jackson vase, presented to the
General by the ladies of South Caro-
lima in acknowledgment for his services
at the battle of New Orleans, is row
seeking an owner. The hero left it to
the Governor of South Carolina who
should prove to be the best and bravest
soldier in the next foreign war. The
Governor in turn presented it to the
survivors of the Palmetto Regiment,
leaving it to them to "vote it to the
most deserving" 1t was found impos-
sible to make this choice, and the sur
vivors finally decided that it should be
held in trust by the successive officers Of
the association, to be delivered to- the
last survivor. There are now forty
three survivors, and there is much COM
petition in regard to the ownership.

A NEW scientific instrument has been
constructed, by which the hourly pro-
gress of the earth through space can be
noted. 1t is about six feet high, con-
sisting of an iron tripod and delicate
pendulum. There is an index attached
to the upper portion of the pendulum,
and when the pendulum is started this
is perfectly still. In six minutes the
earth's motion becomes apparent, and
the needle shows about one degree of de-
Walton. In one hour the movement is
so marked that the distance traversed by
the earth may be estimated from its
data. The pendulum is of such delicate
construction thatit will remain in motion
for twelve hours, and yet may be re-
tarded or even stopped by blowing
upon it.

A REMARKABLE example of the &C.
centricity of the Chinese turn of mind is
noticeable in their schools, where, in
stead Of silence being inculcated, as
might naturally be considered as e.
sential, every child is expected to bawl
out the lesson that he is committing to
memory at the top of his voice; and the
babel which is the result may be moro
easily imagined than described. When
boy goes up to repeat his lesson, more
over, he does not stand facing his tutor,
but turns his back upon him, and hence
repeating lesson goes. by the familiar
name of e backing II. This method of
recitation has an excellent effect IN
keeping the boy on the qui v;ve 70 svoid
mistakes, for no sooner does he commit
one than he is called to recollectionpy :
tap on his closely shayen pate, from The
metal bowl of the long tobacco-pipe
which every pedagogue carries about
| him.

EXPERIMENTS made in Germany show
that out OF two thousand five hundred
and sixty school boys, sixtyseven we're
unable to distinguish between colors,
but that out of two thousand three
hundred and eighteen girls only one
was "color blind. A curious explanation
was offered for the fact that the proper
ton of color blindness was greater
among Jewish than among Christian
children. The sense of sight, it was
said, was less developed among the an
clients than it is to-day, and since the
Jews have preserved greater purity of
race and blood than any other people,
an inferiority of vision might reasonably
be expected. 1t is not, however, true
that such inferiority, on an average,
exists.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

A CHICAGO girl did not wish to marry
her lover, but said yes to his proposal
for the fun of being engaged. The
young man was very much in earnest,
and when she at length informed him
that she had only been joking he threat
ened to kill her if she did not keep her
promise. Thus bulldozed, she submitted
to matrimony. That was year ago.
Lately she appealed to the courts, and
the Superior Court has decided that the
marriage, having been accomplished by
a threat of violence, is void.
