the dirty work, which it was difficult to get
others to do. Thus, it will be seen that
while | have continued to run my factory
during the past year, without sales to any
considerable extent, and accumulated a large
stock, principally for the purpose of keeping
my men employed, | am now confronted
with the bill just offered in the Senate by
| Mr.. Nelson and aimed at the Chinese, which,
If passed in its present form, would prevent
the sale of any of my stock on hand, from the
fact that q very few Chinese have been
employed in the drudgery portion of my
works. Now, in this agitation about capital
and labor going to benefit laborers, when it
Is necessarily locking up manufacturing es
! adjustments, and Withdrawing capital from
embarking in the various kinds of enterprise,
! from want Of confidence in business affairs,
cannot believe the Legislature will pass the
present bill without at least excepting from
its operation all wares and articles actually
manufactured prior to the passage ct the Act.

ures.

to visit William Siddons' place, on street.

only the initials "M. NJ. d." Mr. Drew was
completely surprised, and could only look
about in an astonished manner, and ejacu-
lated, ''Well I'm -" and then con-
eratuiations followed. The ex-Sheliff SAYS
| he has realized more since he went out of
Office than he did in 1t, by the value he
places on the many tokens OF esteem he has
received. Evidently his friends have in
| tended that the shower should be rather more
than fright smart"
