Old Folks.

Do the young people ever think that
they will be old, that they will soon
feel that the grasshopper is q burden
and fear in the way? Only a few short
years ago that aged man and feeble
woman were young, strong and full Of
life; their loving hearts were gushing
with tenderness and care for the little
ones who now stand in their places. Do
not jostle that aged couple out OF your
pathway, but rather lift them With
tender care over the rough, declining
road. You may have forgotten how
carefully they kept your tender feet
from stumbling, and with what care they
watched your advancing steps. But
they have not forgotten, and the time
will come when you will be forcibly re-
minded Of it by the love you have for
your own little ones. Will they ever
hand you the same bitter cup to drink
that you pour out for that aged father
and stricken mother7 Verify, with
what measure ye meet, it shall be meas-
ured to you again. Think Of the.
anxious days and nights your mother
has watched by your sick bed remem-
Der her loving tears, her patience and
long-sufering with your fretfu1ness:
and then let the blush Of shame dive
your brow, that ron should be impatient
or unkind 10 her, now that she Is Old.

San Francisco Chinatown,

Advices from San Francisco, to March
20, state that the third days notice of the CON-
domination of Chinatown expired to. day but
the board of health has yet taken no action
with regard to Chinatown. as far as can be
learned. % The board has no other power than
to cause enforcement of the existing laws re
garding nuisance and overcrowding. The
laws and ordinances relating to the former
bear more heavily upon the property owner
than upon the occupants of the buildings,
and were they enforced strictly Caucasian
property owners of Chinatown would suffer
more than the Mongolian tenants of the con-
demned buildings. 1t is hardly possible, it is
stated, to make many arrests, on account of
violations of the law, as there is no place in
which prisoners can be kept, as the jails are
filed to OVERLOOKING already. This fact has
been brought to the notice of the board of
supervisors and the board of police commits
sioners, but as yet no action has been taken to.

Pole, aud Turk, all dead or dying.
Why? Murdered by nations more pow

Swept away by pestilence or plague, or
starved by pitilsss famine? Not by
any of these. Not by the lightning and
thunder; not by the tempest and the
storm; not by poisoned air, or volcanic
fires did they diet They persisted by
moral degradation, the Legitimate re-
suit of ghttony, intemperance and ef-
teminacy. When q nation becomes
rich, then there is leisure and the
means of indulgence in the appetites
and passions Of our nature, which wear
the body and wreck the mind. As
with nations, so with families. Wealth
takes away the wholesome stimulus of
effort, idleness opens the aood-gates OF
passionate indulgence, and the heir of
millions dies heirless and poor. and

Prof. Leib's Lost Child,

The newspapers throughout the coun-
try have for number of years past published
accounts of the search being made by Prof
W. n. Leib, of st. Paul, Mimi, for his lost son
child of years, who was stolen from his
parents home atQuincy, ILL.,, in June, 1871
The following, in connection with the case, is
from the Minneapolis Tribune.
NEW YORK, March A-Prof W. H. Leib, a
well-known musician of st. Paul, MINI, called
on Superintendent Walling at the central
Office, with reference to his little son Freddie
who on the 26th of June, 1871, when he was
but years of age, was stolen from his parents
home, then in Quincy, ILL.,, and has not been
heard from since. The parents of the boy have
spent all their possessions in search for their
child, but have utterly failed to obtain any
clue to his present whereabouts. Mr.. Leib is
now engaged in making tour of the princi.
pie cities of the United States and calling the
attention of the police authorities to his I'm.
fortunate case.

CuriOsitieS Of Statistics.

As fair example of curiosity of
statistics, says Spoford, the Congress
sional Librarian, take the army of
Aerxes when it crossed the Hellespont
to invade Greece. Herodotus gives it
as 100000 foot, 100000 horse and
$4,000 naval forces; total, 2.317,0OO,
and adds that this was swollen by the
attendants to 100000; and all this to
invade country which in no age known
to history contained over 1, 100000 in
habitants. Another favorite myth of
historians is the story CT that famous
Alexandrian Library of 7OO, 900 volumes,
burned by the Caliph Omar, A. D. $40,
with a rhetorical dilemma in bis mouth.
Unfortunately for this highly-dramatic
tale, no two writer's are agreed IS to the
circumstances, except as to the single
fact that there was library at Ale1an-
dria, and that it ceased to exist in the
seventh century. To ask modern in
quirer to believe that 100000 books
were gathered in one body sOOyears be-
fore the invention of printing, while
the largest library in the world, four
centuries after the multiplication of
books by printing began, contained less
than 100000 volumes, is altogether too
great q stretch of credu]ity. Even in
reporting the size of modern libraries,
exaggei alton holds sway. The library
OF George ~, inherited by that grace
less ignoramus from book collecting
father, and presented to the British ma
ton with ostentat1ous liberality only
after he had failed to sell it to Russia,
was said, in the publications of the time
to contain about 12O, 900 volumes. But
an actual enumeration when the books
were lodged in the Kings Library at
the British Museum, where they have
ever since remained, showed that there
were only $3.50 volumes, being little
more than half the number reported.
Many libraries, public and private, are
equally over estimated. It is 80 much
easier to guess than to count, and the
stern test of arithmetic is too seldom
applied, Notwithstanding the fact that
10000 volumes can easily be counted
in a day by two or three persons, and SO
on in the same proportion. Here, as in
the statistics of population, the same
proverb holds good, that the unknown
is always the magnificent, and on the
surface of the globe we inhabit the un-
explored country is always the most
marvellous since the world began.

The Ute Indians.

The Ute delegation have left Washing
ton for their reservation. They are confident
of obtaining the consent Of their people to the
agreement made with the government Two
of the prisoners brought some time ago from
the reservation have been implicated in the
massacre. One was identified by Miss Meeker
as one of their best friends, and the other is q
boy of 1S. who, as is now ascertained, arrived
at the agency after the event. This list of
presumably guilty persons, as made up by the
commission at Los Pinos, in October last, was
based mainly on statements made by Mrs.
Meeker, Miss Meeker, and Mrs. Price, who
were not eye-witnesses to thS massacre, and
had to draw their conclusions from circum-
stantial evidence. The interior department is
now in possession OF a list of names of the
guilty parties, which is thought to be COM
plete and reliable, coming from one of the In
dams themselves Chief Douglas will be held
for the present at Fort Leavenworth, and it is
expected that the guilty parties, with the aid
of some of the chiefs now returning, will soon
be- brought in.

Could He Play Billiards :?

He was quiet-looking old man, and
he walked quietly into Main street
billiard-room, just Ito while away few
moments" as he afterward remarked.
Seating himself near a table where
several young gentlemen were amusing
themselves, he ventured one or two sug
gestions about the shots, ana wagered
and lost so cents on the result of diff
ficult point.
"Could he play billiards2" "Wen,
no, not very well; still he used to han.
die a cue pretty WELL"
would he play game?" "Wen,
yes; just for fun, you know, and to
pass the time"
He played and lost, paying for the
drinks and giving his opponent the
dollar which had been wagered on thu
result.
would he play another game?"
"He didn't care" would he wager
$3?" Didn't like to, but would, Just
for the fun of the thing"
He had been beaten easily before.
The young men thought him an old
gentleman with money to spare, who was
out seeing Life.
would he wager with others?" "He
didn't care"
Thirty dollars in small bets were
finally wagered. The elderly man
quietly remarked, with quaint smile,
that he thought he should have to do
better this time. II should SMILE" an.
swered his jaunty opponent, as he made
the first shot and lost it. The elderly
man quietly handled his cue until he
got the balls into a corner, and then ran
the game out. Buttoning up his coat
and pocketing his gains, he was about
to depart, when the young gentleman
insisted that he was a fraud, and wanted
his money back. The old gentleman
quietly said there was mistake-he
had only come in to see them play, and
then walked out.-Rochester Demo-

Chewing Gum.

We have it upon common report that
chewing gum isa substance well known
to the youthful part OF the community.
The qualities which it possesses at the
time that it comes from the confection-
er are all familiar to the youngest of
us. It certainly seems q very attractive
edible. The reason for this is not Sc
hard to find. Think how much eating
there is in it in proportion to actual
weight and cash value. But there is
more in chewing gum than is dreamed
of in juvenile philosophy. One can
easily comprehend the main ingredi~
ents of candy, but who, without being
told, would suspect that chewing gum is
often only q refined product Of petro-
leum? The time was when the
fragrant spruce furnished the most
common material. But this. is no
longer" the case. The reader, familiar
with the processes of refining coal oil, is
aware that the thick, brown liquid which
comes from the earth, at one stage of
its manufacture, is strained through
heavy linen cloths. The residuum left
after this operation is dirty, brownish
yelloH wax that smells abominably.
That unpromising substance, melted,
bleached, deodorized and prepared for
commerce, appears in masses that weigh
about 100 pounds, resembling oblong
blocks of clouded ice. It has no odor
and no taste except what belongs to any
wax in it's purest state. It may be used
for many purposes, but it is not neces-
sary to describe them now. The man
ufacturer of chewing gum purchases
these blocks ready made to bis hand,
and at once melts them down. To 200
pounds of wax he adds about thirty
pounds of sugar, and gives the mixture
flavor by the use of some essential
oil, as lemon or vanilla, and perhaps
adds some coloring matter. The melt
ed mass is poured out upon q clean
marble slab and cut in the various
shapes known to masticators.
The youthful epicure rarely becomes
SO luxurious as to demand balsam of to-
lu; but if he does the manufacturer is
ready for him. This resin, which is oh
tanned from South America, is, at first,
in an almost-fuid condition. It Is the
product of tree known as-now hold
your jaw, for the name is worse than
whole box of chewing gum-myrasper-
mum tolulferum. This balsam is boiled
by the manufacturer until finally it is
brought to such consistency that it can
be run through rollers. It comes out
in the shape of little slender rod, of a
brownish-yellow color, which is cut into
pieces, each about two or two and hall
inches long. The balsam may some.
times be mixed with less costly wax.
since its flavor is very marked.
The balsam from the achicle" tree,
from Central America, is used in max
ing what is known as swapping gum, 1t
is very ductile when worked and moist
ened, and the process of making is sim
liar to that of pulling tafy. The orig
inal gum exudes from the tree, and
forms in mass sometimes several
pounds in weight. Even in this natural
Ctate it would be very satisfactory
substance to keep the teeth at work. 1t
cannot be worn ut.--Ci71ci1a1aGti CON-
