The World is Honest.

A dozen men were yesterday loafing
away the rainy hours in business place
near the ferry dock when the converse
ton turned upon the subject of general
public rascality. A citizen said he had
given boy quarter to get changed
and had never seen him again; another
said he wouldn't trust his own grand
father, and third would give 500 to
see an honest man.
al have not yet lost my faith in hu-
man nature" finally remarked man
on back seat. "Any Of you may call
in stranger to us all, and 1 will give
him a five-dollar bill to 60 and get
changed. If he fails to come back 1
lose the money; if he returns you will
see how foolish your assertions are."
Half dozen men rushed to the door.
A seedy, gaunt and evil-looking African
was padding by in the rain, and he was
selected, to make the test.
"Stranger," said the man who hadn't
lost confidence, stake this FIVE dollar
bill around the corner and get it changed
and will give you ten cents"
The black man departed without a
word, and for the next ten minutes the
laugh was on the man who sent him.
1t died away, however, as the African
slouched in, handed out the bill, and
said:
81 ruined all ober an nobody could
change him."
He was given his ten cents and the
man who lost the quarter by the boy
said he coldn't have believed such an
exhibition of honesty if he had not wit
messed it, and he was willing to buy the
cider for the crowd.
1t was only after the cider had been
destroyed and paid for that he learned
that the bill given the negro was a base
counterfeit which no one would accept.

All old Texans and the student of the
history of Texas, are familiar with the
ill-starred Mier expedition, which left
Texas in the fall of 1S41 for the purpose
of invading Mexico. The expedition
started out under the command of Gen.
Somervill, and on the 10Th of Decem-
Der, when in the vicinity of the Rio
Grande, was ordered back. After the
return of Gen. Somervill and portion
of the command, some 800 men who
we're left determined on hostile demon
strations and elected VIM. S. Fisher as
commander. The expedition then adj
vanced on the town of Mier in Mexico.
A detachment arriving there on the 2lst

calde of the town with them as a
hostage, and returned to where the
main body was camped to await the ar
rival of the articles demanded. While

Coming of the Salvation Army.

|. Seven women and one man stoed in q
circle among the throng of emigrants
in Castle Garden yesterday afternoon,
singing the words of time-worn hymn
to the air SWAY Dow6 upon the Swanee
River" All were dressed in plainly cut
suits of dark blue, trimmed with yellow
braid. The women wore black Derby
hats and the man cap, and around the
crown of each was broad red silk band,
with the words The Salvation Army +"
in gold letters upon it. One of the
women carried q flag of red and blue
with bright yellow sun in the centres
and the words I" The Salvation Army I"
around the device. They had just land
ed from the steamer Australia, from
London, when they began the singing,
which was continued through several
hymns. The man, whose name is
George Railton, and who Is about 80
years old, explained that they were q
delegation from the Salvation Army of
London, sent to this country to begin 8
work that he cited has been eminently
successful in that city.
In 1865 the Rev. William Bath, q
Methodist Episcopal clergyman OF Eng
land, being impressed by the great
number of persons in London who never
attend church, organized q system of
outdoor meetings. AS he and the CO.
laborers whom he gathered about him
disliked the stereotyped terms applied
to similar missionary workers, they
adopted the title, "The Salvation
Army" According to a little circular
printed on red paper, which sets forth
the nature and results of the army's
work, it now embraces 122 corps, di-
rected by 1875 officers. Meetings are
held every week in 1873 theaters, dance
halls, warehouses, etc., in London, and
the aggregate number of these meet
ings annually is $4,000. 1t is estimated
that 10000 persons attend these meet
ings each week, and 1900 the Sunday
night services, while the weekly attend
ance at the open-air meetings is put
down as 100000. Last year f16,500
were raised by voluntary contributions
to carry on the work. The army and
its work are said to be endorsed by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of
SALISBURY, % Mayors, IL Chiefs of Po-
lice, 129 clergy, and many others. The
title of Railton is Commissioner, :"
and of the seven women wo accompany
him one is a Captain, and the others
Lieutenants. The women are all plain
looking, and about thirty years old.
They were met by former co-worker,
now of Philadelphia. Their intention
is to begin work in this city at once

THE "Citizens' Protective Union" is
the name of an organization formed in
San Francisco for the declared object of
preserving the peace and protecting life
and property. The membership is I'M
derstood to be large, but the names of
those officially connected with it are
not made public. Mayor Kalloch has
published a proclamation, declaring
that there is not the slightest
reason to apprehend any dis
turbance from the working classes,
that the public are deceived by incendi-
airy misrepresentation as to the situa-
ton, and that the most outrageous
means are being used by designing men
to provoke an outbreak. The Bulletin
and Chronicle commend the formation
of the Citizens Committee, while the
Call, Alta and Post oppose it as unnec-
essary and unpolitic.

A DARING robbery of gold bullion oc-
cured at Sidney, Neb., on the 10th. En-
trance was effected through the floor of
the express Office while the agent was at
dinner, and four hundred and eighty
pounds of bullion, which had just come
in on the Black Hills treasure-coach,
was carried off. Fortunately the weight
of the treasure was too great for the
robbers to carry any distance, SO they
secreted the most of it in a coal pile
where it was soon afterward found. It
is estimated that they cleared about
$4,000 by the operation-should they
not be captured.
