Two intelligent, wealthy gentlemen of
New York. the one Republican the other
Democrat, talking with me on the Chinese
question, spoke of the Chinese who came to
this country as an exceedingly evil class !;
then asked me II they were not. told
them they were just the same class of peo-
pie as came from other countries-the labor
ing, needy class that they came for Just the
same purposes and just as voluntarily, there
being no slavery or Coolieism in the case
l then put the following question, and re-
celved in substance the same replies from
both gentlemen. Did you ever see drunken
Chinaman? mo" Did you ever see
noisy, bosterous one on the street "No."
Did you ever see one disturbing others, or
lounging at saloons, or gossiplng "Nev-
err Did you ever see one on the street who
did not seem to have some object in view
and going right toward it.? II must confess
| never have Do you hear Of them conf
hitting murder, burglaries or other crimes
mo" Will you then be so kind as to in
form me where, when, and how you have
formed your evil opinion of the Chinese /?
From Republican and Democrat came the
same prompt answer: From the news
papers!' These intelligent gentlemen, who
knew very well and admitted that news
paper statements were often far from rclia-
bic were yet ready to accept their statements
against great people, whose representatives
are by their own personal observation the
most inofensive, quiet people we have in
our land AIRS. BaMpin, IN NeD York

pipes having been added of late years, and
only the original front is left to attest its
claim to antiquity, The centre peak is orna-
mented with an English crown In gilt, the
side one with bishops mitres and "a. d.

on the front of the organ gallery on blue
tablet is the inscription, 1.-THE gift of DR..

or layman who would propose any change in
old Trinity. Ungainly as is the high pulpit,
with its great flat sounding board and long
flight of steps, unlovely as are the long plain
windows and uncomfortable as arc the pews,
yet all is dear to the hearts of the parshon-
ers, and they would fight long and stoutly
for their quaint old church. Bishop Berkc-
ley's tablet, with his head in full white wig
carved in the stone, adorns the wall near the
chancel, in company with several other
strangely worded ones but the most inter.
esting one Is found in the vestibulc of the
stccple. This was erected In 1888 by the
French King to the memory to the Chavelier

stone is the crest of the Knights Hospiiallers

A Festival which Cos, 81, 200, 900.

Describing the French national fete on
the l4th, the Paris correspondent of the New
York Times says: The review was bril-
liant and numerously attended, in spite of
the intense heat aud of the difficulties attend
ant upon locomotion, as the hack drivers
asked ruinous fares, sand by 10 a. m. the
railway stations of the lines terminating
near Longchampe were SO thronged that
thousands were obliged to renounce all hope
of gettiug out to the racecourse in time to
witness the pageant. The military marched
well and looked well the artillery kept its
aligncments correctly. and there was a
marked Improvement in equitation in the
cavalry regiments. AS always since Reich
schoilin the cuirassiers were enthusiastically
cheercd, and so wss squadron of the
eleventh chasseurs, which had donned for
the occasion its new uniform, invented by
General de Gallifet for the light horses, to

great feature of the review was the re.

thirty-first, thirty-sixth, seventy sixth and
eighty-ninth regiments had managed to re.
constitute for the ceremony, although
scarcely week had passed since the resets
sion of General Farre's absurd ukase fol

the ''ra' and the fla" were greeted by
the spectators showed the satisfaction of the
people in general at this return to ancient
usage. Fewer accidents than last year are

inquisitive tourist, who fell off railway

Dog Days.

Authorities on this subject seem to agree
that the occurrence OF the dog days, as now
tabulated in our almanacs, has nothing to do
with the rising and setting of Sirius. From
Gregory's Astronomy We learn "When
Sirius, the dog star, rose heliacally, the an
clients imagined it caused the sultry weather
usually felt in the latter part of Summer. ;"
Traces of this opinion may be found in the
works of Homer, Hippocrates, Virgil and
Pliny. Some authors say that on the day
this star thus rises in the morning the sea
boils, wine turns sour, dogs begin to grow
mad, the bile increases and irritates, all ami
mails become languid and burning fevers
with frcnzics rage amongst men. All this was
ascribed to the dog star, and about twenty
days. both before and after the stars rising in
this manner, were called canicular or dog
days. A brown dog was, in consistence
with this opinion, sacrificed to Sirius yearly
to appeasc HE rage. But the idea that
the stars rising thus was the cause of the hot
weather and the diseased Of the season could
not prevail very long for the star
not only varies in it's helacal rising in any
one year. as the latitude varies, but on ac-
count of the procession OF the equinoxes, 1t is
later and later every year in all latltudes, SO
that, in the progress of time the star might,
by similar rule, be charged with producing
frost and snow, instead of scorching heats
and burning fevers. The dog days. in our
almanacs are now put earlier (more than a
month"; than they would he II they were still
regulated by the rising Of Sirius before the
sun and thus they are made to correspond
with the hot weather. as they did formerly.
10 our almanacs the dog days are made to
begin on the Bird of July, twelve days after
tice. Their continuance is, therefore, thirty
nine days Years ago the dog days were
reckoned in our almanacs from the cosmcal
rising of Proceyon, viz, on the 30th of July,
continuing to the 7th Of September. Now
the dog days are 80 arranged as to depend
on the Summer solstce, aud not on the vari.
able rising of any particular star.

TIRE IRISH CONSTABULARY.
They Refuse to Withdraw their cir
cular, aud Threaten Resignation.

DUBLIN, Ireland, August 0.-According to
kilograms received from every part of Ire
land the constabulary are determined tohave
their grievances remedied or resign. Cliff
ford Floyd had the Limerick men paraded
yesterday and upbraidcd them for their con-
duct, saying that if they were soldiers they
would be shot, The men replied that they
were not soldiers and denied acting dsloy-
ally. They refused to withdraw their
circular. The inspector-general had them
again raraded and told them that they were
acting badly. The government were losing
confidence in their loyalty and they were
PLAYING into the hands of the enemies of the
government. He asked them to withdraw
their circular and promised that if they would
do so their claims would he repre-
sented to to the government and certain al
lowances made them. The men again re-
fused and threatened to resign within eight
days If they did mt in the meantime re.
ceive favorable answer. 1t was intimatcd
that the officers, in consequence of Lloyd's
language, would not parade for him again.

FEARFUL FIRE AT GARDINER,
MAINE,


GARDINER, Me-, Aug. IA terrible fire is
raging here and good portion of the manu-
featuring section of the city has already been
destroyed with many dwelling houses The
flames are spreading rapidly. Assistance
has been asked from Augusta and Hollowcll.
Lnter-PariIculars of the ConAagratiOn
GARDINER, Me-, Aug. THE fire started
at seven O'Clock in Moore & Browns planning
mill on Bridge street. The wind blew the
flames away from the main business street
into the saw mills and foundries. Owing to
the drought and inllammable nature OF the
buildings in this part of the city, they burn
ed like Undertook, and in few minutes
the factories along Bridge street were in
flames. The high wind drove the fire with
great fury down Bridge street, taking up
the tenement houses ia its path, and making
sweep of the east side of First and then
leaped across into High, Middle and Spring
streets, running at right angles. These streets
were lined with residences, mostly wood,
many of them occupied by people of the
laboring class. The steamers experienced
great difficulty in getting water, and could
make no stand against the flames. The fire
went all the way up High street to the Meth
odlst church, which was saved after hard
fight 1t then swept of to the northward
laying low the dwellings along Middle and
Spring street. which is thickly populated
district. The streets were iull OF men, wo-
men,, children, teams, etc. Many families
saved only the clothing they had on.
Houses were torn down to stop the pro-
gress of the fire, which was got under control.
Twenty acres were burned over. All the
manufactures on the lower dam are gone,
and three to four hundred men are out Of
employment. Some sixty dwellings are de-
stroycd. The loss is upward OF 5000, 900, and
the insurance is not half of that. A large
number of hooters piled their vocation
during the confagration. II is re-
ported that an cid lady named
Clutf persisted and man was killed falling
into hole. The great fire in 1857 started 10
almost the same locality. The chief sufferers
are Moore u Brown: s. Rodbury 81 Towle,
planning mills; Jas. Nash, furniture factory ;
Wadsworlh Bros. furniture factory; Walker
" Marcys, saw mill Jewett & Co, planning
and saw mill; Z. S. Robinson, sash and
