Not Infections.

Wilmington, Del. Every EVENING"
There is a letter carrier in
this city who is the prond faith
er of a new pair of twins.
There is a young gentleman
who is a Sunday school teacher
in one of our Episcopal church.
es and who is very properly
careful not only of the spiritual
but also Of the temporal welfare
Of his little flock.
The letter carriers little
daughter is a member of his
class. The twins arrived on
Saturday night. and the follow
ing morning their little sister
attended Sunday school as
usual.
She mentioned casually to
one of her classmates that her
mother was i'll. The teacher
hearing it, questioned her as to
the nature Of that illness, but
the little girl could give him no
satisfactory information.
Fearing that an ailment so
mysterious might be infectious
and careful for the health of
his other scholars, the teacher
thought best to send the child
home with instructions to re-
main there until the house
should be clear Of the dread
disease.
The little girl left the school
sorrowing and reluctant and
reported to her mother what
her teacher had said, while the
latter looked sadly at one va
cant seat and missed the music
of one gentle voice and his
sympathies went out to the
afflicted family as he tried to
console himself with the refec-
ton that he had done his duty.
But soon the patter Of little
feet was heard as the dismissed
scholar reappeared radiant and
smiling.
Mother told me to tell you
that it's nothing catching" she
explained as she took her place
again in the class.
The teacher got more light
on the subject the next day.

A lengthy article coscerning
the vast shoals Of dead fish

the rounds of the press for
some time, and various are the
surmises as to the cause of the

confined to the gulf waters. A
gentleman of this city who has

The Chinese Ocean steamship.

N Y. SUM-
In the short time that has
elapsed since the Chinese be-
gan to enter into commercial
competition in vessels Of their
own against the traders of 9TH
er nations, their progress ap-
pears to have been remarkably
rapid. Possessing vast capital
and superior mercantile intelli-
gence, with opportunities of
procuring labor at lower rates
than are paid by the merchants
of any European or American
nation, it is natural that in any
otherwise equal contest they
should easily take the lead.
Besides this, they give each
other, as far as possible, the
benefit of their exclusive trade.
According to the San francisco
Post, Ton King Sung, superin-.
tendent OF the Chinese Mer-
chants steamship company at
Shanghai, said recently to a
visitor from America: 81 am
not going to let the English and
Americans make profit in con-
veying the Chinese to America
aid in carrying tea. Ifthere is
a profit IN it, we shall make it.
Several Of the steamers of this
new line have already made
trips between China and San
Francisco, and their owners
have fonnd themselves in a posi-
ton to load California flour for
four dollars a ton, where the
charges of the American lines
were seven. 1t is said that the
inevitable result of this compe-
tition will be, sooner or later,
the withdrawal of the other
lines that ply between China
and the United States; and Ill
timately, no doubt, we may ex-
pect to see the Chinese mono
policing in great measure the
whole carrying trade Of the
China seas.
This, however, will be only a
reasonable result. For years
the trade of foreign nations has
been forced upon China for the
sole purpose of making profit
out of her. Itwould be strange
if Chinese merchants did not
at last begin to think it well to
make some of that profit them
selves.

ST. LouIs, Mo-, May 2. Serious appre-
tensions are felt for the safety of property
along the river front. The water comes
nearly foot and half above the danger
line, and is rising. In that part of the city
occupied by the upion stock yards and the
great lumber interests there is much trouble.
Most of the lumber yards have more or less
water in them and while no property has yet
been destroyed, great Inconvenience is expe-
rienced and business is much restricted. In
East st. Louis there is great danger of a
general overflow.
Cahokea Creek, which runs through the
town. is overfowed from back water, and a
great extent of country in the neighborhood
OF Brooklyn and Venice. Two small towns
north Of East ST. Louis are submerged. caus
many families to abandon their houses. Wa
ter is also encroaching on the National stock

the railroads are strengthening their tracks
and protecting their property. But few
