the chinese are improving.
The Chinese are supposed to be
comparatively free from the reckless
habits and violent exhibitions Of
temper to which the superior race is
addicted, but by long intercourse
with white men they acquire white
mems habits. This is shown by a
little destfuctiveness displayed lately
u Gold anon. A gang Of China
men working some ground below
trench's mill had built a dam to
catch the water, and after waiting a
long time for water to come down
lost their temper and last week in a
fit of passion acted as so many i'm
patient white men have done by
blowing out their dam with giant
powder. repentance came soon af
ter thei. nasty foolisbness, especially
when they heard that the Alta water
would begin to come down in a few
weeks, and they are busily engaged
At putting in new dam, doubtless
rejecting meanwhile upon the sili
ness of following some Of the Amer
lean fashions.

Il. H. Il.

At the meeting OF the II. II. h.
last night Hackett, who has at times
q leaning towards levity, moved to
add another crossbar to each Il. in
the society name, that the unity of
nomenclature might be better OBJ
served. This society being entirely
devoted 10 music, the signs and tech.
nic.i phases used in the art would
form logical symphony in The
name, and at Informal meeting and
in familiar intercourse the mem bers
could adopt the title of the three
sharps. Haynes frOwned like an +
cleft aud Higgins indignantly called
for a rest. Hsckett was penitent
Immediately, and being slightly pro-
fame in his leisure moments was on
the point Of making An irreligious
apology, when q timely recollection
of his theory OF consistency made
him vary the usual form and adopt
q by-word in accordance with the
subject which chiefly engaged the
thoughts of the society. With a
qusver of regret in his voice and
tears like whole notes IN his
eyes he said, sob, gamut, gen
liemen, don't get n al at little
joke" The apology was received in
the spirit IN which it was offered and
the regular order of business was
resumed. The practice of familiar
airs upon simple and easy instru
gins brought out the cigar box fiddle
also exhibiting a guitar which was
in course OF construction, Of which
halt OF a five gallon oil can formed
the foundation. Haynes had pro-
vided an ingenious device consisting
of an arrangement of trebble and
bass combs between the folds OF q
slip Of paper upon which any per
son with the least talent for music
could perform acceptably at the first
trial. Mr.. Hackett bad brought his
instruments were found to be IN time.
Hackett ailed tor the air of Barbara
Allen. The fiddle led off and the
humstrum joined with splendid
bass. but Haynes would not take
part with the combs. He held up
his hands as y signal to stop and ex
planned his reason for Directing to
com plstlng the air which was one Of
his fsvorites, but he could not con.
sent to such q deviation from the
principles OF the society as to permit
the playing of good old tune und.
err modern name while it had o
good old name of its own. The 9TH
or members were willing to play it
under any name and Mr.. Haynes
said, "then gentlemen we will play
Croppies Lie Down, which is the
original name of the air, and the
only one by which it should be
known. The traditions of our soci-

ophers who are devoLing their time
aud ability TO the revival of what was
good and beautiful in the past point
TO the retention of the original
names of all tunes which are worthy
of a place in the household harmony
of the present age. Higgins wanted
to tell a story, but was silenced by
motion from the leader and the hour
of practice was improved by the rem
dition of many of the grand old airs
of our grsndfathers. After discuss
ing the proposition to admit new
members, witnont coming to any
conclusion the society closed in g

A Yorkshire Tale.

Fifty years ago the laws were not so thoroughly
enforced as they are now upon the wild ranges Of
England called the Yorkshire Wolds. Few of
the busy jewellers in pOpulous London have any
idea of their grandeur in a winter snow-storm, or
of their beauty when an August sun pours down
it's rays upon stretches OF waving corn, that lie
like sheets OF gold along the ridges, fringed above
with dark hr plantations. During the Great Ex-
hiDition of 1851 a few friends and | took a real
holiday for once in our lives and went for a week
to see the wonderful things in London which the
papers were so full of. We saw all that could
be seen in that time, and we did not lose a mo-
ment, | assure you. But, after all, l saw nothing
like our grand old hills. 1t was the first time
that most of US had been 30 far away from home.
My tale? o.. yes, that was what | started to
tell you, but that was twenty-five years before
our London visit, when | was a young man,
farming a hundred and fifty acres Of land. | had
occupied the farm about two years, renting at
the same time a house in the nearest village, two
miles away, for my wife and two children. The
farm buildings consisted of a large barn, which
went by the name of the Red Barn, it being built
of red bricks an old six-horse stable, matched
with whins; Il fold-yard, paled around, and two
or three wood-sheds. A good-sized house and
better outbuilding were being built but none OF
them were far enough advanced to be habitable
for man or beast. A plantation of ash and spruce
trees sheltered the iarmstead from wind and
storm, and it was situated high up on the hill
side.
Returning home rather later than usual one
Saturday night from our market town, a distance
of twelve miles, | was told by the man who came
to take my horse that an accident had happened
up at the farm that afternoon.
What is the matter, David 2" | asked.
"Roger has run a fork into his foot, was the
answer.
Roger was one of the horses. 1t appeared, on
further questioning, that one of the large steel
forks used for stacking in harvest time had been
carelessly laid upon the stable-aoor, and Roger. a
farm horse, had run it's prongs into his foot. The
man thought it was a serious wound.
What have you done to it?' was my next
question.

mary surgeon for the district:

The Romantic Story of Two Ohio People.

Eleven years ago Charles H. Martin and
Martha Spencer were married in this city.
After their modest wedding the young peo-
pie with their joint savings, bought a small
farm near Oberlin and became residents of
Lorain County where they lived for q year.
Martin was then attacked with the Western
fever In its most acute form, and selling his
farm. started for the Neosho Valley, Kan.
Mrs. Martin was left in Ohio, intend
ing to remain until her husband should re-
main until her husband should locate a
farm and send for her. Martin, VIXEN he
struck the boundless West, caught the fever
in dead earnest, and for six months was
sick at Usage City. When first Frustrated
he wrote for his wife, but the letter never
reached her, and shortly before his recovery
he received his own missive through the
dead letter department. He wrote again.
but received no response, and when able TO
travel started for Ohio again with a much
lighter purse. He went to Oberlin and
found that his wife, after waiting vainly for
q letter from her husband, had gone TO
Chester TO her aunt's. To Chester Martin
proceeded at once, and there WIS informed
that the aunt had occupied a lot in the vii
Iage cemetery for four months and that Mrs.
Martin had gone to Cleveland. The anx-
ious husband came to this city and adver-
tised and searched, but in vain. Heart

several in succession, selling them
in turn TO new Corners, and at the end of
three years found himself worth in the
neighborhood of ten thousand dollars, which
he invested in a stock ranch in Southern
and settled down to the life of a
cattle grower.
Last Monday he again appeared IN this
city, in response to a letter sent him. and
was reunited to the wife from whom he had
been separated for nearly ten years. After
the death of her relative, Mrs. Martin had
not gone to Cleveland, as was thought, but
had gone to gainesville. There she re-
manned a few weeks, and, taking what little
she inherited from her aunt, sta rted
for Kansas to seek her husband. She re-
turned three months later, and has ever
since made Cleveland her home, supporting
herself by sewing. She was informed of
her husbands search for her here, but all
to discover a trace of him through
to the West were fruitless, and she
calmly waited for events to occur. Her
was rewarded, for early this month
4 letter was received at Chester from the
ong-absent Martin, asking if anything had
oeen heard of his wife.
The last few days have been spent by the
ong-separated pair in renewing the court
hip of their youth and receiving the C n
of the friends gained by the
ady during her eight years residence on
he West Side. Next week they st,rt for
Florence, Kansas, near which town Martins
arm lies, and where his check is good for
