WEALTH rs BUT A BUBBLE.

We nave 10 our mind, says an ex-
change, a brilliant and cultivated
young lawyer who started in life with
twenty thousand dollars, Gnd re,
fined, beautiful aud accomplished
wife. He is now sort of factotum
in a carpet mandatory, running
hither aud thither az the beck aud
call of those whom no secretly des-
pises, doing heavy tasks far beyond
his strength, yet eager and anxious
to please, lest the slender support
which he derives from THE mental
be cut off. We know a gentleman
who was bank president ten years
ago and owned his carriage, who
DOW does the copying in an insurance
Office at thirty. five dollars month,
supporting-God knows how "a
wife and five children on it. We
know gentleman who once held
high office in Western State, who
solicited work at cleaning out Offices
aud building fires. Nor have the
changed times less bitterly affected
women jennie Colling, of Boston,
famed for her employment bureau
and working mems home. says in
her last report: Many kind ladies
who hired their servants of me 10
the past years, have been obliged to
apply for employ themselves OF
late. | sent lady to hotel AS a
house keeper, and the most bumilia
ting part of it was, that her room
was in the attic with two of her for
mer servants We are constantly
learning of women of education and
refinement, formerly wealthy, who
are engaged as seAmstresses, nurses
and house>keepers and in one case
we even know of lady, who would
be at home in any psrlor in the land
among educated people, who served
as cook in hotel for months.

cHrNBsEBANDITsi in CALrFoRNIA


Some few years ago, says the Gan
Francisco Call, a few Chinese des-
peradoes in San Francisco, princi
pally ex>convicts from the State
prison at San Quentin, formed Sc
cret association for the purpose of
plundering and robbiog their own
countrymen and women. They
would enter the houses Of their vic
Tins and demand sums OF money. If
the money was not Forthcoming they
would smash the furniture and cut
and hack the inmates with their
knives. If they were informed on,
or If the victims cries brought the
police to the scene of action, those
who gave the alarm would be event
ually asssssinated. The gang re,
ceived the name Of the 'Highbiders.
The leaders Of the society soon ex'
tended its rami6cations into every
village, town and city in California
where ten Chinese can be found
The new society is called "The
Tong" and the old "Highbinders'
are it's officers and possess an abso
Lutte control over the lives and prop.
erty of the deIuded members of the
society. The officers levy monthly
taxes upon the members, who, il
they refuse to pay, are quietly as"
ssssinated or are sent to States pris
on through perjury. "The Tong"
has, besides it's officers, tribunal
where all questions between menu
bers are settled. The DEGREES of
this court cannot be set aside. They
are as interchangeable as the edicts of
the Kings of Persia once were. "The
longs" seldom use their revolvers,
as they fear the noise of the explO'
sion will bring the police upon them.
They trust to their knives and d.
wild work with them. As yet, they
exercise their talents upon their
countrymen; but when they extend
their sphere of operations and attack
the whites the State government
will probably exert itself to suppress
them.
