Naturalizing a Chinaman.

Judge Gary, of the Superior Court,
yesterday naturaGzed Sin You, a China
man, who came here under age. His
witness was All Lee. This was the first
Chinaman ever naturalized in the Su-
perior Court. The Judge remarked
that in California it had been held that
a Chinaman could not be naturaized in
this country, while the contrary had
been held in New York. He would like
to hear the opinion of attorneys pres
ent. No one being ready to give the
court advice On the new point, he said
he would risk it any way, and the Co.
lestial was therefore clothed with the
full privileges of an American. It is
understood that Judge Rogers, of the
Circuit Court, some years since natural
lied a Chinaman. = Chicago Inter

DREAMING.
BY EBEN E. RExFORD.

La his arm chair beside the open door,
Round which the sweet wild roses climb and
blow,
Through the long, odorous days of June, and pour
Their faded petals on his locks OF snow,
Tie old man sits. with Bible on his knee,
Although for years his eyes have been so dim
lie reads the chapters through by memory,
Aud there his dead ones come and talk with MN.
If you but listen. you will hear him speak
The names of those he loved in other years;
He laughs at little fingers ON his cheek;
The past is his--the present disappears.
Ee has forgotten all life's bitter loss,
That leaves it's upon the -churchyard mold
The arms that bravely bore each heavy or SIS
Tie loved aud lost of earth again infold.
The woman wooed and won in life's sweet May
He does not comprehend how long ago
Is here beside him in his dreams to-day.
And sings craole-ditty, soft and low
To the wee baby. sleeping on her breast;
The sweetest of all songs to him is this;
Her very presence holds spell of rest
he thinks, and tells her with lovers kiss.
Yes, lovers yet though many years have fed
Since in the spring time OF the year, and life,
They stood before the man of God, and said
The solemn words that made them man and wife.
Lovers foreveri Time never change
The hearts 1T sunders by graves green sod;
Such love as theirs nothing estrange-
Lovers on earth and in the world OF God.
He sees the happy children at their play,
And smiles at each and pats each tangled head;
Tells little stories, when half famished, they
Come clamoring in for bowls OF milk and bread.
Home Is a kingdom, and he is King;
The happiest King in the wide world, dear wife!'
And she gives back his kisses, wondering
If ever woman had happier life.
Oh gray-haired dreamer, dream the hours away;
Forget the present in the vanished past;
Forget tie graves upon the hill to-day
Ger which the rpening leaves are falling fast.
Soon will the golden gates swing wide for you,
And you pass in to find your own once more;
The woman with the heart forever true
Will bid you welcome to the deathless shore.

How Empress Augusta Snubbed Bis
marck.

A profound sensation was caused by
the cold, not to say sighting, reception
given to Prince Bismarck by the En-
press Augusta. The Emperor had
greeted him with the greatest frank
ness, evidently wishing to show to those
around him the confidence and regard
which he entertained for his chief adj
wiser. But the Empress, on the other
hand, seemed as if she wished to show
her dislike of the Prince by not only
answering his obeisance in very
sighting fashion, but by not even ex

A Bitter Dose.

The quinine monopoly was knocked
endways by the sudden removal of the
protective duty, and the blow is the
more staggering because the duty on
barks and everything entering into the
manufacture remains the same. Qui-
nine was specially with Powers &
Weightman, the senior partner of which
firm died a year ago, the richest man in
the city. Its manufacture is extensively
carried on in Paris, Stratford, England,
and in Frankfort; but there is not
factory in the world to compare with
that of Powers & Weightman at the
Falls of the Schyulkil, which covers
ten acres, besides laboratory 100 feet
by 800 nearer the center of the city.
Farr, founder of the house, was the first
to introduce the drug into this country,
sixty years ago. Only three years after
Farr founded the house of Powers &
Weightman the house of Rosengarten &
Son was started, which now owns
mandatory covering a whole square,
and produces the finer chemicals, espe-
cially sulphates OF quinia and other
alkaloids of cinchona bark These two
houses are almost the only manufacture
ers of quinine in the country. Powers
& Weightman have considerably in
creased their profits by the purchase of
the right to use the dry process. A
million and quarter of ounces are sold
every year for an average of $40, pro-
lection being worth from 80 to 70 cents
an ounce, the duty being 20 per cent.
Farr said to a correspondent that the
firm would give up the manufacture

The Man With the Gold Tooth.

"The man with the gold tooth" is at
present the terror of the frontier. His
name is Middleton, and he is 80 years
old. He began his career as an outlaw
in 1877 in Sidney, Neb,, where he killed
man, and was convicted of murder
He escaped from Sidney, organized a
band of robbers, plundered, burnt, and
murdered until the fall of 1877, when
he was lodged in jail, only to tunnel
himself out with n coal-scuttle. Reor-
ganizing with fifty men he stole 5000
head of cattle from the Ponca Indians.
The robbery Of a German settlement on
the Elkhorn led to hot pursuit by a
squadof horsemen. The trail was fol-
lowed for three days. On the morning
of the fourth the Germans awoke TO
fiEd their pickets murdered and every
horse stolen. Middleton gets his sobrl-
suet from a front upper tooth made
entirely of gold. He is six feet tall,
and wears "A fierce black mustache,
under which the tooth shines like IA
grain of corn. Two need!e-guns, four
revolvers, and two dirks make up his
