A CHINAMAN IN DILEMMA.-About sun

Rails corner when number of squaws who
were sitting on the edge of the sidewalk
pelted him with little sticks and such othe
harmless missiles as were within reach. The
Celestial wished to resent the insult, but the
squaws soon got away from him. While at
tempting to get one of them within his exas-
perated grasp, little dog began barking at
his heels, which for the while began to absorb
his attention. No sooner did he address him
self to the barking cur, than another of the
canine family came up behind him. To cut
long story short, before he got out of the
muss he had whole band of mahalas and
dogs after him, and, seeing that he had got
ten himself in scrape, he backed out of it
gracefully as he could, which was very I'M
gracefully indeed. During the whole of the
trouble Fred Bullock, the colored porter of
the Ormsby, looked on and laughed as if he

STILL HARPING.

The Virginia Chornicle of last evening con
tinues to harp, in Pickwickian strain, upon
the injustice done to the people of Virginia
in ordering the troops to this city for review,
on the Fourth of July. The opposition made
by that journal, however, is not as bitter as
some would suppose, for in all of its articles
on this subject, desire to come here on the
day of the review is discernible. The reason
able and intelligent editor of the Chronicle
knows as well as any one that this city is the
proper place for the review, whether it be on
the Fourth of July or any other time, but his
well known obstinacy will not permit him to
give in. The whole Chronicle force will I'M
doubtedly be here on the day of so much con-
tention, and if we don't make them believe
that the Carson people are the best in the
world before they leave, We will never say an
other word on the subject.

Southwestern Presbyterian.
Our Woodworking brother at
Morgan City does not feel cheerful
IN contemplating u field of labor
which is liable to be the invasion of
epidemics. The fever at that point
has been almost as bad as during
the previous summer. The most ri
gorous quarantine was adopted
against even places where there
was no epidemic, with no better re.
suit than to furnish another chapter
to the record of quarantine litera.
ture. The idea OF controlling the
atmospheric conditions connected
with IA great epidemic, so as to res.
train or shut it out, has proved as
intangible as the Chinese plan of
driving away an eclipse by beating
on their gongs. And so, those who
live in these ATTITUDES must expect
to face the pestilence when it's hour
arrives. This may not be a pleas
ant thought. But it may be remem-
bered that. generally speaking, the
epldemics do not come often; and
probably the aggregate of years, is
not much greater than elsewhere.
But there is yet another point to
be considered, which we think deci-
sive. The dangers-Often exagger-
ated-tO which those are exposed
who live in slrch fields OF lab or, is
fully compensated by the increased
opportunities for usefulness. When
an epidemic occurs, every aid that
religion can afford is needed. The
Christian minister is welcomed at
many a dwelling where at other
times he would have been an unwel-
come guest. His aid and sympathy
are sought for 10y people outside of
own his congregation, and his ex-
encourages others in the ser
vice of humanity. Here is an occa.
sion which affords the best possible
field tor display fthe principles and
practice he has advocated from the
pulpit. He ought to rejoice that he
is permitted to testify by his exam.
Pile, that the religion of self sacri-
lice is more than a name. And
such, we think, are the sentiments
d those who have long lived in
these fever zones. They take a
PRIDE IN sharing with their people
The risks and pprils of their lot.
And perhaps they love their PEG
anu the community they live in,
he better, for the dangers they
shared together.

companies stole $4,000 or more,
lived respected through it, and at his
death was honored by the passage of
complimentary resolutions and a
present to his wife Of $1,000. Rot

tary of another company stole &c.,

ing his note for the balance. Rotten
ness. A third exposes the unpleas-
ant fact that respectable company
suffered an impairment Of 100000,
which was never reported to the In
surance Department. The company
has gone out of business. Rottenness.
Discovery the fourth is that a very
nice cashier has been helping him.
self to the company's cash by means
Of irregularly issued checks. This
poor thief stole only $1,000. Per-
haps he was on his way to a more re-
spectacle defalcation. Rottenness.
The queer part of it is that the super
intcndent refuses to give the names
of the companies thus afflicted.
Concerning the one which is wound
up, it makes no difference. "Hic
Jacet." But as to the three living
ones it does. If they cannot manage
their affairs better than to suffer such
disgraceful stealages, they had better
also shut up and buy tombstones
with "hic jacet" on them. They
claim to be sound and honest COM

are not worthy of public confidence
and should be encouraged to take

OF this county. They were worth
about $4,000. Of this amount Wal
ter & Co., Of this city, lost about
$4,000. M. Meyer, of Dayton, about
the same, James R. Shaw $3.50, ]. A.
Bonham $3.50, J. D. Sims 81 900, Mrs.
Bennett, of Mason Valley $500. and
other parties lost various amounts.
Reclamations have been made out
against the railway company; but
that concern, 1t seems, refuses to pay,
on the ground that the responsibility
of railway as a common carrier
ends when the goods are unloaded
from the cars and they are ready for
delivery to the consignees. The los
ers are therefore very indignant. and
