A CURIOUS COMMUNITY.
Town in Which Modern Improve
ments Are Unknown. r..#
New York World.

New York World.
A remarkable community is described as
perched up among the Swiss Alps-a new
Andorra in its primitiveness. The name
Of the place is Ablandschenen, which, be-
ing interpreted means an out-of-tha
locality. Its people have no standing ar
my and therefore never 90 to war. They
have no fleet, being hundreds Of miles
from the sea in every direction. They have
no publicans, and consequently their cleo
tions, ii they have any, are completely
pure. They have no doctors, for there has
not been death among them for several
years. They possess no newspaper and
are vexed by the post,nan only once
week, do no trades and occupy themselves
with little industry. The place is tor.
mented by neither the ring Of the black
smiths hammer, the fumes of the bakers
oven, the clatter of the wheelwright's shop
or the opportunities of shopkeepers. Nor
does notary spoil parchment or an adv g.
cate conicund justice or policeman terri
fy the night in that mountain Arcadia. A
cheapjack once a fortnight brings the
good folk all they want In the shape of
their own herds, flocks and poul-
try yards supplying them with the rest
The acknowledgements, having little money
are not blessed with bank. but they have
. church with single bell which is tinkied
&c the birth Of q boy but goes into ecstacies
ut that of girl. 1t is wrong to reveal the
secrets of this Alpine Utopia, because
tourists will be finding it out and vulgarl-
zing it, as they have vulgarized the Engar-
dine. But, as the French say, "Nothing
IS sacred to sapper," and so nothing can
be kept out of the guids-books now.
Hence, the Ablandschenene may before
ong have to establish hotel and even .
policeman.

Notes and Queries.
In tie year 1854 there died an American
poet named George r. Morris, whose fame
principally rests upon the well known and
once extremely popular song. Woodman,
STARE That Tree, This song FIRST appear
cd In volume Of poems published By Mr..
Morris in 1880. Now, in 1902. there ap-
peared In the Nornins OAr0nick poem By
Thomas Campbell, afterward included In
his sslectsd works, entitled The Beech
Trees Petition" which bears very 10
ma, kable resemblance. indeed, to Mr..
Morris original" song. The FIST lines
OF Mr.. Campbell's poem ars thsse
o, leaye this barren spot 10 me; @af

And these lines conclude each stanEa-
The opering lines and the refrain Of Mr..
Norris song are - follows a1

Touch not single bough;
In youth IT sheltered me s
And IN protect II nox." H
The sentiments In the two poems arc al
most identical, though Campoeifs arc In
comparably tho most eracefully and poeti
cally expressed. II Mr.. Morris had never
seen CampbeIl's verses tho rsssnblsnos 70,

Hartford Courant.
In Boston, recently, the play Of" Uncle
Toms Cabin was given with all the COL
ored characters impersonated by colored
people. THIS was the first time ir was ever
SO given. Mrs. Stowe furnished q pro-
logue for the occasion, which was a. fol-
lows:
II is now Thirty years since the story OF
"Uncle Toms Cabin was written. 1t
was story too true, ana the truth Of it
was what made the reading too painful for
q romance. When i. was written there was
really existing in some parts Of our union
the very things there described. There
were slave warehouses full of men, womt n
and children, waiting for the auction block.
There were slave coffi, % 10 which manacled
slaves, chained like beasts, were driven to
new fields of labor and in these coffies
were children that had been torn away
from parents, husbands from wives, broth
ers from sisters and mothers from children.
Many sad sufferer, many q heart-broksn
witnesses stood up to testify to these awful
wrongs and sorrows. The words Of the
prophet we're fulfilled: "Behold the tears
Of such as are oppressed, and on the side
Of their oppressors there was power, and
they had no comforter" Noble hears;
among the shareholders themselves deplored
the injustice. Many kind Mrs. Shelby,
many heroic st. Clair sought vainly to
ameliorate the condition Of their own
slaves many gentle little Eva dropped
tears OF pity for their sorrows but there
seemed to be no help, no hope that the
dreadful system could ever be brought 70
an end. But thirty years are past, and We
who speak to you now speak OF slavery as
q thing long past. Where are the. slave
warehouses Gone Where are tho slave
coffiesP Where are the slaves They ex-
ist only in story. In place Of slave ware
houses, behold high schools, universities,
where those once slaves are being taught
the paths of knowledge. We Who speak
to you belong to race once ,despised ard
doomed to ignorance. Now We look back
on the sorrows and the injustice to which
our race has been condemned as a thing Of
the past. We remember no more the an
guish for the Joy. And not only our race.
but the whites, rejoice that slavery 10 no
moro. Slavery has no mourners. Nobody
wishes It back. It is proving to be a, free
dom and prosperity to the whites no less
than tn tha cOlored race and th,s year'a

AT NIGHT.

Al night when work is done, mid shadows gray that
darken
And cling about the window, where once the sun was
bright,
Sweet sounds come back to me again TO which we
used to hearken,
At night
Al night though we are old. and the gray shadows
clInging,
Presage to us that shore where there In no more
light,
Sometimes there come again sweet airs Of childhood
singing,
At night
At night we two may sit In shadow. open-hearted;
Long since the time is passed when Hope was all In
sight,
Softly we sirg the song of happy days departed.
At night
At night the cricket voice sounds through the shad
ows dreary:
Our songs, alisl like his have neither charm nor
weight
We only rest and sing. hushcd HOPES and voices
weary,

A New Treaty Negotiated with
China,

ABUSES RECT1FIED AND CHINESE IMMIGRATION
PROPERLY REGULATED.
When Minister Seward left this country to re-
turn to bis post in China, after the investlga-
ton Of his affairs by the Forty Fifth Congress,
he placed his resignation in the hands of the
President. The understanding with him was
that as soon as he completed the negotiation of
a new treaty with China he would formally ten
der his resignation and relieve the administra-
ton from any further embarrassment growing
out of his alleged Irregularities Congress took
no further action in the matter, and the treaty
has been concluded. Mr.. Seward has, however,
said nothing more on the subject of his resigna-
uon. He seemed to have forgotten all about it.
In order, however, to carry out the understand
ing between Mr.. Seward and the administration
he has neen formally notified that his resigna-
tion will be accepted. The new treaty with
China, which, it was desirous that Mr. Seward
should complete, modifles in many respects the
existing treaty, especially with reference to
Chinese emigration to this country. This sub.
ject has been adjusted to the satisfaction of
both the United States and Chinese govern
meDts. Very practical restrictions are placed
on Chinese emigration to this country, and un-
der them the abuses which have caused so
much trouble on the Pacific coast will be pre-
vented.

Betting ON the University Boat
Race.
LONDON, March l9.-The betting on the
university boat race, which will come off tc-
morrow morning, is now to ON the oxford
crew. The Times this morning, criticising
Thursdays practice OF the crews on the Thames,
says Comparing the time made by the crews
there can be no doubt that there IS considerable
margin In favor OF Oxford, and the opinion of
those best qualified to judge is strongly in their
favor. They row in good time and commence
and finish the stroke together. They slide and
swing well, and though their rowing appears to
be short, the oalS are really longer in the water
than they seem to be. They keep well together
Throughout their long rows, although they oc-
casioDally fell to pieces week ago, and as they
can 60 fast from the start to the finish, they
may never be headed. The Cambridge crew
though they were improving dullng the latter
part of last week, have been standing still for
several days, even if they have not actually been
deteriorattng, and have not fulfilled the prom
Ee Of their early practice on the Putney water.
The weights OF the oxford crew aggregate l ,337
pounds, and of the Cambridge crew 1898 pounds
The race will be rowed at about 7:3O am.
