What he looks like and how he Lives ana
Works; His Virtues, Vices and Crimes,
Is an able expose of the coelie system,
as ii is practiced in Califorui, with 1ull
and impartial account Of It's effect upon
the industries of the State. The dcscrlp
tons Of life and crime in Chinatown are
vivid and accurate. and the fairness III the
writer, who is an old Californian, renders
his expressions exceptionally valuable.
His views on The subject are sound ana
just ones, and will command more atten-
ton than any other utterances on the same
subject Than have yet been given the press

CARE OF Roses In WINTER.-A
covering of tobacco stems at the roots
of rose bush, to remain all Winter,
will prevent the ravages of all bugs
which are foes of the plant, and is a
sure death influence on the rose slug.
When treated in this manner the bush
produces a more vigorous rose, rich in
color, because the roots are more ca.
pable of performing all the work ma
ture designed them to do. In regions
where cigar making is carried on ex'
tensively roses ought to be raised in
great perfection.

Ne Didn't Bart.

John Henry. the masher, stood on
the corner with another one Of his
kind, watching for a girl to come
along whom he might crush. At last
a thin young woman from the rural
districts came by, and John Henry
thought he had found her. As she
passed he said something about her
being bony, but he went after her,
and, catching up, he said:
"Good evening, Miss"
GOOD evening" she replied look
ing at him so suspiciously that he hes
itated.
"Ahem, Miss, ahem, a"
"Well," she put in, "why don't

more to say, and to this day he is a
changed man.

terests of religion and promote the

Last week ten million dollars worth
of foreign merchandise was received
at the port of New York. And just
think, if it wasn't for the tariff it
would have only been five mill

consume the merchandise will have to
pay the other five millions. You may
buy a hat for five dollars out of that
lot of merchandise which wouldn't
have cost you but two and half if it
had not been for the protective tariff.

The Ford boys who killed Jesse
James for a pecuniary consideration,
are not as happy as those who walk
the fields Elyian. They are haunted
by the spectre Of red.handed revenge.
They are now on exhibition at Bun
nelrs Museum, New York. The 9th
er day Bob Ford rushed to the mana
gers box in great fright. He had
seen woman, dressed in deep mourn
ing, enter the building, take a casual
survey of it, and then leave, and in
that woman he saw the wife of Frank
James, aud inferred the neighboring
presence of Frank himself, who has
taken, it is said, deep oath to re-
venge his brothers murder. And 90,
wherever the Fords go they feel that
Nemesis is on their track. Their agi-
tation and fright at the mere sight OF
a woman who resembles Frank wife,
show the terror in which they live,
and the haunting apprehension that
sooner or later they will pay the pen
atty Of their fame. Under such cir
cumstances money and notoriety mus
be alike distasteful TO them.

wrestled with a monster bear. The

applause. The assembly insisted upon

reached its height, the negro appeared,

the kindness OF the spectators, he
stopped down, and drawing knife
from his pocket, commenced to tumble
with the bag. The people supposing
this to be some new trick, preserved q
breathless silence. Then he cut the
bag open and there Issued from it a
swarm of bees. As The insects buzzed
forth, there was a movement Of the
crowd, then a panic, and finally wild
rush was made for the exit. Some

Experiments have been made at the
New York morgue TO test process by
which it is claimed dead bodies, though
badly swollen and decomposed, can be
restored to something like a natural
appearance, and preserved so that it
will be recognizable after months of
burial. The subject operated upon
was the corpse Of an unknown woman
who had died Of erysipelas. 1t was
soft, black and blue, and out Of all
human proportions. An incision was
made in the right leg and an embalm-
ing fluid injected into the femoral ar
terry. la less than half an hour the
body assumed its natural size, became
harder than in life, and as the degree
Of hardness increased the discoloration
disappeared, leaving it of marble
whiteness. The body of a man, OPP
perated upon seved weeks before, had
been kept unburried without decom-
position. Ii retained its natural sp-
pearance and was without odor.

The REToRT SARCAsTIC.-Judge
Tarbell tells the following joke on
himself. A short time after his re-
tirement from the bench he happened
TO meet an old friend whom he had not
seen for some time. The Judge, all
smiles and heartiness, efiervesced over
his old friend in such a way as TO pro-
woke the inquiry:
"Whst Office are you a candidate
for now, Judge ?"
The Judge made deprecatory
movement with an outward turned
Palm and said:
"For none at all, my dear brother;
simply candidate for the Kingdom Of
Heaven"
His friend regarded him sorrowfully
for an instant, and, then, with more
wit than politeness, and more prOfani'
ty than either, said:
an bet you don't carry a d
township
Doubtless the Judge lost sight of the
mans profanity in admiration of hi;

RacLnnr On lnnas.

We have never charged that he has
belonged TO all parties and was on both
sides Of the late war. We have new.
or said that he Is fossiliferous rem
nant Of an age now known only in
story and in song. We do not make
fun Of that speech which has been
made all over Kentucky for a genera.
ton past, and in which the frog is
made TO get out of the we'll so slowly
that it's down there yet. We have
never charged that Col. Jones ran for
the dictatorship in order TO make CAPT
tai in this race for governor. We
have not said that he has cost the
democratic party 5000 votes by his
speeches, although many moderate
people think this a low estimate. We
did not say in the Democrat that his
canvass amoug the neighbors and
friends Of Tom Henry last Summer
was with a view to tying them on to
Jones as candidate for the governor
ship, although il was plain that he
made no speeches where he was need
ell, aud only went where il would be
to his personal advantage to go.
We have done none Of these mean
things, although we have heard them
talked about wherever we have been.
We need IN the gubernatorial chair
something more than a pleasant gen
tleman who reaches his hair, wears
broadcloth and kid gloves and walks
with a gold headed cane. The masses
of the people do not feel that Colonel
Jones is OF their order, and hence his
weakness when candidate for office.
This beat him when twenty-five years
ago he ran for State Treasurer, altho
the candidate Of the Know.Not hing
party in the height Of It's power. This
left him behind most ingloriously
four years ago, and prevents his hav.
ing any considerable strength in the
present canvass. Col. Jones has moi
the slightest prospect of being gov
ernor, and shows by his fretfulnes'
that he knows this TO be true.-[Clark

Protect the Peanut

The Tariff Commission, which has
found its way down into North Caro-.
lima, has made the important discove.
ry that peanuts and chalk are in seri
GUS peril unless the duty on these ar.
ticles is increased. England, il seems
is sending us large quantities Of chalk
while Africa is competing with us in
the production Of the American luxu.
ry Of peanuts. II is of course an
outrage that English chalk and Afri-
can peanuts should dare TO invade our
markets, but such, unhappily for the
chalk men and the peanut raisers, is
the fact. IL pig iron is protected,
why not peanutsI There is not a pc.
litical convention, a circus or a street
car in the country in which the Amer.
lean peanut has not made itself heard
and felt. Thousands and thousands
Of the countrymen Of Columbus ped
die it and millions of Americans
MUNICH it in public and private. We
are glad that the Tariff Commission
has at last grappled with the peanut
question. If it shall solve the prob
lem whether the American peanut has
any rights which the African peanut
is bound to respect it will have &c
complished a great and useful task.
At last the country has found out
what the Tariff Commission was in.
stituted for-the protection of pea
nuts.

a BIT OF MOTHERS DREss.-A
pretty and pathetic incident is related
Of a little fellow from one of our
charitable institutions who was being
taken to New Jersey farm by an
agent, the owners of the farm having
had the boy bound to them for a
term of years. The agent noticed
that the boy kept placing his right
hand inside of his jacket on the left
side, and occasionally would peep
within with a tender look. At last
he said, "What have you got in there,
my little friendS" "Oh, nothing,
SIR" he replied, "only a bit of my
mothers dress, which I've sewed on
my coat; it was the dress she had on
when she died, and now it kind Of
comforts me TO touch it.
