NOTES.

Ole Bull, the celebrated v~iolinist. died at
Berger, Norway. on the eighteenth OF this
month.
The Spaniards are just new in the state Of
mind of the young man anNiously awaiting
the sprouting of his mlolstache. They are
very much occupied about the heir eSpec-
tant.
A fashion item informs us that bridal wells
are now made OF illusion. This choice of fab
ric must be owing to a desire of the victims
to maintain the "illusion " TO the very last
moment possible.
The movements of Ayoob Khan are now
known to be directed by European officers,
and the nationality of those officers is the
question between which and the Irishtrouhle
the attention af J. Bull is now pretty well
occupied.
The Burning of Eureka furnishes one OF
those warnings which, us Il general thing, are
only thought of when it is too late to profit by
them. How many towns in Montana, aside
from Helena. have made any intelligent pro-
vision to guard against fire.
In Selesia railway and river entertainments
have been swept away, farms inundated and
many lives lost in recent floods. The dcs-
~truction Of the growing crops was so thorough
that a serious famine to extend over a wide
expanse of country is feared.
The Independent las a prophet, some son
of a seventh son, who puts on his consider
ing cap and gravely predicts that Butte will
elect Maginnis delegates to the county con
@vention. \ week from to-day will tell
whether il will or not. We shall see what
We shall see.
The Record reports the arrival from the
states Of Miss Nellie Brigltman, who will
hereafter be literary editor Of thar journal.
1t will stand brother Buck in hand 10 take
good care Of That literary editor, otherwise
some rural publisher may offer the lady a
more desirable "sit."
MI. Geo. Ninton, until quite lately a
prominent republican politician Of Illinois,
has announced himself a supporter of Han
cock. In giving his reasons for the change
he says he sis disguised with the recent cor
rupt tendencies of the republican party mani
agement, and with the wholesale abuse of
the Scutii, which section he has lately visit
ed OF the Chicago ticket he says: 1T was
a compromise on one whom his own party
friends have convicted of pertitity and cor
ruption, with a second whose only tame IN
the nation is of having been discharged in
disgust from the public service by the head of
his own party" He says Illinois can be
carried by the democrats if they manag" the
campaign properly.

COMPETITION IN A NEW FIELD.

From China comes the intelligence that the
government has lately abrosaled III old de-
cree prohibiting Chinese subjects from ell
gaging in direct trade with foreign countries.
The full scope Of the measure of repeal can-
not be estimated without further details, but
the gravest apprelicnsion5 are entertained re-
specting its probable effect upon the ocean
of the world. Chinese labor in
the Cnitcd States and other countries is cheap.
but this cheapncss is vuinoIts extravaganza
when compared will, the enumeration paid
Chinese laborcrs in their native land. In China
ocean steamships can be constructed for less
than half what it would cost to build them in
the other navy yardy Of til" world. After be-
ing built they are manned by seamen whose
wages compared with wages paid European
Or American sealn"n will bear about the same
ratio that the wages of Chinese agricultural
laborers bear TO the wages of white labor.
With ships thus built and equipped it woald
be useless for the mercantile marine Of any
other country to attempt to enter into open
competition, and the question "what are We
going to do about 1t" is already asked With
alarm. So long as tie Chinaman was brought
into competition only with the poor man in
the harvest fields, vineyards and manufactures
of the Pacific coast the eastern people could
consider the matter with great complacency.
1t was the '.free, cxtravagant habits of the
early gold digging days" that rendered the
working people of the western slope unable
to compete with Chinese labor, and Chinese
competition, by teaching them the necessity Of
frugality and sustained industry would even
tually prove a blessing in disguise. Il wa'
easy to take a philosophical view Of the sub
ject as long as the laborllg classes were the
only sufferers, but so soon as the interests o
the wealthy ship owners are endangered, how
quickly do We hear a tune pitched in a differ
ent note on rendering the "Ileathen Chinee
with variations. The little scare from whicl
our shippers are still suffering will do
world Of good it it will have the effect 0
opening the eyes of our fellow-citizens of til
eastern and middle states to ,hr real natur
OF the irreconcilable conflict which must fol
ever be waged between Asiatic and America
labor. There are not a few social philose
pliers who see in the swarmilg millions @
China a danger threatening to the very exis
tanca If our western civilization.

Death or Oliver A. Hoskins.

The people of this vicinity were shocked at the news which rapidly spread that Oliver Haskins had been killed in the HR R. Cos. ''yard' at Amesyille, last Thursday. He was one of the workmen employed in building the new span for the railroad bridge, and at the time of his death, was engaged in what is known in railroad parlanee, as stalking" car, i. e., tho crane car being on a parallel track, they attempted to shove the car down by placing stake from the engine to the car, which slipped from his hand, the car moving on, and crushing him between the car and To- comotive, yet no bones were brokon, and with the exclamation "Ohl' he fell to the ground, and was carried into the paint shop, where he immediately expired. His body was then taken to the house of Mrs. G. K. Peck, where short service was held on Sun- day. and from thence the remains were con- veyed to the Cong church at South Canaan, where the funeral was held at l2 o'clock Out of respect to the relatives, and to the memory of the deceased both churches in this village were closed, and both pastors united in cons ducting the funeral solemnities, Rev. D. M. Moore delivering the oration. and selecting for his text "Boast not myself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what day may bring forth" The church was filled with people, both galleries and body, who had assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the dead, and the many moist eyes seen in the congre- gation, gave evidence of the respect with which he was held. He had the faculty of thy oi emulation, was, he never affected to be witty iE testing, so as to wound ones feelings, but exercised D proper regard for the feelings of another. A large and beautiful display ot flowers from, and arranged by Bridgeport florist, were furnished by the friends of the deceased of which Messrs. Pierre Mundry and E. J. Hornbeck were committee, and Mir. Walter l. Kellogg had charge of tho fu, neral ceremonies. The flowers were arraug- ed in form of a pillow, and composed of cam mell0S, two Narl9IleS or CaTudI!On plukS, DOH vardias, and the delicate smilax vine. In letters composed of opening heliotropes, were the words "Our Lamented Friend." There were also a heart anchor, and cross, which is symtolical ot Faith, Hope, and Charity, star, and broken shaft. The sermon was full of timely suggestions. and at it's conclu- sion the remains were taken 70 Sand hill cem. etery for burial. About 70 teams were pres ent at the church.
 When at work at Danbury, some three weeks previous, the lady with whom he boarded had a dream, that he fell through a bridge and was killed, and it affected him so that it was noticed of him that he had been low-spirited for a few days past, and he fre- quetly mentioned the dream. He was affianc ed to an Amesville lady, to whom the blow evidently is a severe one. IDLEwILD.
