PHHApELPHIA, March 10.
The reported hegira OF celestials from
san Francisco to the eastern cities is
devoid of truth so far as the Quaker
City is concerned. Some of the oval
faced, oblique-eyed rat-eaters arrived in
this city within the past two weeks, but
the influx was exceedingly small in
numbers, hardly enough OF them to OPP
crate a fourth of dozen "washee' con-
Germs. Ii they are compelled to
leave California, We will, no doubt,
get our share, or perhaps, on
account ui our great manufactures, get
more than our share. | said Ia Lee
Wing, Saturday, at his laundry on Fifth
street, John, they say that kearney is
driving all your countrymen out ut san
Francisco. What do YOU think about
it, The heather, without moving
muscle OF his sphinx-like countenance,
said: "Me no clare, dlamme klearney,
fool Lirishmau, Chinaman klillee
him
We also Judged from Lee Wings jar
gon that he was opposed To his breth-
rem leaving Frisco and coming to the
States, and he was of the opinion that
the Chinaman who would kill kearney
would he the llbcrator OF that
meek and lOwly race in
the Golden State. Unfortunately
there does not seem to be one Of the
Celestial tribe willing to wear the robes
OF Brutus, aud rid his people OF their
oppressor, Denis kearney.
SALVATION ARMY.
In an old chair factory at the corner
Oi Sixth aud oxford streets, about three
months ago. two English ladies', as rep
resentatives oi the Grand Army oi Sal
yation' OF London, England, com
mcuced revival oi religion. The au-
dirnCes, from few IN the beginning,
grew ia short time IN numbers until
the cold factory became packed night
ly, and scores enlisted under their ban
ner This Army of Salvation parades
nightly, before the services at the factory
begin, through the up tOwnstr sing
ng. praying and shouting, Praise the
Lord They do not contine them
selves To any UNCONVENTIONAL bounds,
but claim To work solely Tor the prog
gress oi evangelism throughout the
world, irrespective Of sect. The two
ladies', who are the prime movers IN the
new departure in this city, show q fer
yency and interest in the work that Is
heartfelt. In speaking they drop their
HIS with promtitude that at once
be,yavS their nationality. They have,
also, started what they call recruit
ing station" IN u stable in West Phlla-
phIa.
The new movement, however, which
is certainly novel way to capture stu
nerS, does not meet the approval OF our
church-going people, who look upon II
a. a sensational dO,ige that will not be
productive OF much good.
rHE MURPHY MOVEMENT.
Francis Murphy, the temperance
apostle, under the auspices OF the \, NJ.
{. A., began 4 campaign against King
Alcohol and his dcyoteeS, at the fash
ionable church, corner of Eighteenth
and Green streets, sunday evening.
Francis was here about three years
ago, but did not arouse the peo.
pie as he did in Pittsburgh and
elsewhere. At the meeting Sunday
night. the church was comfortably tiled,
but there was not that grand overflow
rush that greetS him in many cities.
Philaielphians are an enthusiastic peO-
pie. Tor instance, take the Grant demon
stratiOn, and We cannot see Why they
do no; enthuse over the temperance
apostle. Can it be that the movement
is on the wanel Francis vas the same
as OF wore, hearty and robust with the
hahituAl Smile playing over his lace; the
heavy mustache, which he continually
strokes while speaking; the immaculate
white neck-iie, and he seemed TO be as
deeply interested As ever IN the
glorious work OF temperance. IL Is the
Intention, at ali events, TO prosecute
the campaign vigorously, aud Il Is to be
hoped that the results will suTpass the
most sanguine expectations
GOLDEN DAIs"
In yiex Of the fact that the country Is
flooded with papers for the young OF
both sexes, whose contents are 81 tn
most trashy nature, and calculated to do
harm, il is q real pleasure to know that
this city is taking the initiative step IN
