Fernando Wood was Yesterday re-appointed

way Of giving Fernando pyrotechnic send off

affecting remarks from an editorial in the New
York World OF Wednesday, April 8:
1t ought to be understood in Washington. as
II Is perfectly we'll understood in New York
that there is no Democrat northern or south
ern, who might not be chairman OF the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means with less positive
danger and less probable disgrace to the Demo-
cratic party than MIR. Fernando Wood As an
advocate OF subsidies III their worst form of
protective duties. Mr.. Randall may find it hard
to understand this now. There will be no
difficulty, however, in teaching him to under
stand 1t some time before national Demo-
cratic convention invites him to take the place
OF Mr.. Hendricks as its Vice Presidential can
dldate, with Judge Stephen Field, of California

THE CHrNEsF.-It seems that there are more
reasons than one why more OF the better class
OF Chinese do not come to this country, and
why such OF the better class as do come do not
bring their wives with them. Here IL what a
Chinese merchant OF New Yorf, Mon jim Chez
says on that point:
The better class do not come here because
they do net get that "kind treatment which
the treaty guarantees them; and more par
ticuIarly because they cannot bring their wives
with them and settle here, as the Irish ana
others are allowed to do. Tney would gladly
settle here and live as Americans do, II they
were granted rights which are allowed the
lowest foreigner. would like to cut of my
cue bring my wife here, now living IN Canton,
il l could acquire property and be protected IN
its use aud transmit il TO my family. Chm
Lon, famous Chinese merchant IN San Fran
cisco. who died about twelve years ago, owned
houses aud lots and mining property, and was
worth great deal OF money. He had wife
and nine children with HIM; but when he died.
his property was all taken by the city, ana his
family was left destitute. That was great
lesson to Cinnamon; and that is why they are
obliged to take their savings, If they have any,
back to Chlua. II they could acquire home
steads, they would settle on the Wild lands and
become farmers-an occupation they are fitted
for and like. The better classes OF women
do not come here because they ara subject to
insults and all other hardships we have to un-
dergo here. Two friends OF mine, whose wives
1--we in this city, had to bring them here in
mems clothes to save them from the insnlts
OF hoodums and others. AS Chlnaman is
noJallowed to become citizen, he is obliged
to 90 back to China, 80 they do not bring their
wives with them.

THIS Is THE KIND OF DocToR TO Tie TO-
German physician has demonstrated that
early rising is very bad habit. He has ts ken
the trouble 10 collect information as to the
habits in this respect Of several persons who
have lived to an advanced age, and he finds
that in the majority Of the cases the long lvers
have INDUCED in late hours. At least eight out
of ten persons who attained the age OF 80 years
and upward were in the habit of not retiring
until the early hours Of the morning, and Of
remaining in bed until the day was far advanc-
ed On the other hand he has failed to die
cover, after careful observation Of the health
OF several early risers, that it Was in any de
gree better than that of similar number OF
late risers. He thinks that 80 far from any
decided benefit being gained by getting up
early in the morning, it rather tends to exhaust
physical power and to shorten life.

that when the time comes the same loyal peo-
pie from the same loyal states who took their
lives in their hands and went forth to do baltic

Southern prison pens, until from the dark
waves OF rebellion they bore on broken arms,
acerated breasts the bleeding form OF the Re-

attempt to starve this republic, will fly to her
side at the first cry OF her distress, and there
they will stand in ceaseless vigil, not with a
sword but with susteDance, not with imple-
ments OF war. but with unmeasured wealth,
not with shotted cannon. but with unlocked
Golfers, not with bsrdages, but with plenty

thusiastic applause.
Mr.. Burrows quoted largely from the Report
OF the Teller COMMITTEE. Mr.. Gibson exhibited
con siderable warmth over the statement made
in that report Mr.. Burrows continued:
There is certainly no occasion for the warmth

showing that intimidation and murder we're
practiced in Louisiana during the last election

side are ia earnest in desiring fair election, why
did they not say something in regard to the last
election in Louisiana, when 1t was notorious
fact that in the PARISH Of Caddo, extending 35 OF
40jmiies the ballot box was placed at the north
ern extremity OF that parish, and voters were
compelled to make journey OF 20 miles and
back again IN order to reach the ballot-box. IL
is notorious fact that 800 black men made the
march and deposited their ballots, and it is also
notorious fact that an armed body OF ruffians

destroyed the ballots. 1t is also admitted, and

The Detroit Tribune says: The south seems
to be losing not only its colored working classes,
through their immigration to Kansas and the
western plains, but also the ind ustrious and
sober working portion o. its whites. As to the
colorsd emigration, ex-Congressman Robert
Smalls, of South Carolina, colored, who arrived
in Washington, Monday last, says that "the
emigration fever is raging tiercely among the
colored people of South Carolina, and the only
thing that prevents stampede toward Kansas
is a lack OF means to pay travelling expenses.
The coiored people are saving and scraplng
to accumulate money to move, and Smalls says
they will live on tenpenny nails until they get
money enough to byy tickets to Kansas 1t
is the same causes which move the whites and
blacks alike, and the most industrious, orderly
and thrifty of each race, in thus leaving the
south. They leave the south to escape the
reign OF !awlessness, political persecution, un-
thrift, cheating of labor out OF Its proper wages,
insecurity OF life, property, and civil and po-
litical rights, reputation, and lack OF school
privileges. The whites come to the older
northwestern states, and the blacks seek the
new western states and territories, because
they see the great advantages to poor people
OF land OF law and order, where every mans
rights are secure, where labor is respected,
protected, and regularly paid, where there are
school privileges for their children, and where
thrift, industry, and enterprise are the rule,
and prohigacy, idleness and lack Of enterprise
are exceptionsble.

Desperate Fight with q Mad Dog.

Near Gold Greek, Faulkner county,
Ark, and about seven miles from The
railroad, lives a man named Rhea. a
farmer. One Monday evening, not long
ago, while Rhea and hiSwife were sitting
in front Of their door, two dogs jumped
over the fence and ran under the house.
Presently terrific bowling and fighting
began, and continued for some time,
when at last one of the dogs darted out,
leaped over the fence, and ran away.
The other dog, large brindle Of de-
cidedly ugly tyre, followed as tar as the
fence, but stopped, turned around, and
started toward Rhea with its mouth half
open. Rhea picked up an old churn
dasher, and rs the dog sprang at him
struck the beast on the head. Stunned
for a moment, the animal recoiled, but
only for a moment, for it sprang again
before Rhea lad time to prepare himself
Rhea grappled the dog by the throat and
held its mouth as tar away as possible,
and desperate struggle began. The
dogs eyes glared and its mouth emitted
the froth peculiar to hydrophobia. Mrs.
Rhea ran into the house and soon re-
turned with case-knife, which she
handed to her husband. The blunt
pointed and dull.edged weapon went
time and again against the animals
throat without drawing blood or lessen
ing its fury. The strong grasp of the
man kept its teeth away, but such a grip
could not last long. Again the woman
entered the house, and this time returned
with a shotgun. Cooking it and rushing
up to the floundering dog, she placed the
muzzle close to the animals fanks and
fired. There was seemingly additional
glare of the eyes, but no sound. The
gun was again fired and the animal fell
