The new Chinese minister to the
United States is protege of the Viceroy,
and belongs to what is known as the
progressive party in China. Previous to
his appointment to this high office, he
was superintendent of the arsenal at
Shanghai, where he introduced the most
approved machine obtainable in foreign
countries, because of its superiority to
the primitive appliances of the Chinese.
He also filled the high office of Customs
Total, or Intendant of Maratime Reve-
nue. at Tien-Tsin.
CHENG TsAo JU. is portly in person,
wears slightly grizzled mustache, and
like all other officers of the Flowery
Kingdom, has suave and diplomatic
manner. He is accompanied by his wife
and two nephews. The young men are
fully conversant with the English Ian
guage, in which they were instructed by
CHIN CHI YUNG who is chief interpreter
to the legation. There are attached to
the embassy several officers of rank
the party numbering twelve officers and
seventeen servants. The members of
the embassy are some of the best speci-
mems of the Chinese that ever visited the
United States.

Boyish Wit.

The late DR.. William Arnot, Of Scot
land, was noted for broad and accurate
knowledge Of the Bible. and for ready
wit, equal to every emergency. He was
the youngest child in a large Scotch
family. and, having a weak body with
an alert tongue, was often imposed on
by his older brothers and sisters. In
contests with the tongue he was pretty
sure of victory, but stood no chance
of success in rougher squabbles. After
a brief absence from home, the father
called the children to give an account
of their behavior. They all turned on
William, and told hard stories about
him, each one putting on an extra touch
and made him out great mischief-ma-
ker. Many of their tales were manu-
featured out of whole cloth, and Will
lam listened with wonder. At length
the father turned to him and said,
well. William, what have you to say
to all this?" and could hardly keep his
face when the little fellow replied,
blessed are We when all men shall re-
vile and persecnte YOU" The aptness
Of the reply atoned in part for an irrov-
erent use of Scripture. and the father
came into full sympathy with the perse-
cuted boy.

Avoid the Cigarette.

IA bill to make idiots is the charac-
terization by the New York Herald of q
bill introduced in Congress to reduce
the internal revenue tax on cigarettes.
The tax on tho cigarettes, says the Her
aid, should be increased, not reduced.
That paper declares that 'the cigarette
annually kills thousands and thousands
of children and young men, and those
whom it does not destroy physically it

A Profitable Little Farm.

The Santa Ana Herald has the follow
ing, which illustrates what can be ac-
cOmplished on q small farm in Cali
fornia:
Mr.. Jeremiah Sanders, who lives on
farm in the Gospel Swamp settlement,
informs us that last month he sent o
sufficient quantity of eggs to San Fran
cisco to bring him seventy dollars, over
and above all expenses. He clears q
thousand dollars year from his little
farm of thirty acres. This shows what
man can do in California. BY attend
ing strictly to the minor matters about
the farm, money is to be made Mt all
times. and more especially in such
prolific valley as this, where everything
tlourishes and attains perfection. In
dairying and the raising of fowls and
pigs, money is to be made at all times.
The Mormons After Bill Nys.
"Bill Nye' has written book called
the Forty Liars Judging from the
way he lied about this community, he
ought to be at the head of the list of the
notable forty"
The above choice morsel was written
by the Endowment Rink editor of the
Mormon organ of Zion. Closer and
closer the lines are being drawn by the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. Only short time ago the polyg.
amists passed q resolution not to allow
the gentle with clean shirt to mingle
in the may at their select dances. and

editorials for the Deseret NeWs on week

cations to God on Sunday for the man.
agement of the universe during the fol-
lowing week, has given us cruel blow.
Long ago resolution was passed refus-
ing the editor of this paper the freedom
of the Endowment House, and now we
are cut adrift, with no good society to
which we can flee except the question
able society of the gentle.
The festive reader can readily see
how lonely our life will henceforth be
to us. With what wearisome same
ness we now visit the homes where only
one isolated wife runs the ranch. How
we miss the prattle of car load of
miscellaneous kids as we enter the door,
and how still and monotonous are our
visits where we miss the cordial welcome
of nineteen hostesses.
We have been black balled in the tith-
ing shebang, frowned upon in the en-
dowment house and cursed in the taber-
nacle.
The next period In our downward
career, will be death, perhaps at the
hands Of the avenging angel. Some
sore eyed DANTE from the Michigan
Penitentiary will be selected to dog our
footsteps and smite us in the stiffness of
the night with an iron coupling pin, and
when the glorious god of day peeps over
the Black Hills, we will be at rest, lying
in the bright glare of the early morn
with our features knocked galley west.
No one can ever know how we feel.
The church of Zion has soured on us
and we are an outcast on the face of the
earth, with only one wife and the doors
of the temple closed against us.
Branded as the boss of the Forty
Liars, cut adrift, with no chance to be
sealed to siren fresh from the pest
house on the Jordan. we cry out in our
anguish and rend our garments, and
spit upon the carpet, for our punishment
is greater than we can bear.--Laranic

been terribly hungry. The men We're be-
ginning to get weak from lack of food, and
almost certain starvation stared the party in
the face. Hunger isn'ts pleasant thing.
I never want to feel it as felt it at that
time. The snow, rs bright and beautiful
as it was, became hateful to look upon.
There was no breakfast on that third day
and no dinner, and when the shadows of
the fourth night began to fall
there was no supper. The
coal was almost gone. Another day would
leave us without fire. There had been no
sign of the judge all day, and although the
men felt that he had gone for help, yet they
began to fear that he had never reached
Smethport. Every one was downhearted
and ready to rush off into the snow in the
hope of forcing way out of the horrible
place. The young lady never once hinched,
and although her face bore plainly the
traces of hunger, yet she spoke not word
of complaint. The men were in their most
respondent mood, when all at once the
Judge tumbled through the door with some
thing in his hand. 1t was rabbit. How
he caught it no one knew, for he was half
fainting from hunger and benumbed by
the cold. The boys soon had him warmed
when he told his story. He had struggled
through the snow all day and had by rare
good fortune caught the rabbit. The men
soon had the animal skinned and nicely
roasted, and the judge himself carried it to
the young lady. She would take only her
share, however, and insisted that the meat,
scarce IS it was. should be fairly divided
among the party.
In the afternoon of the next day a gang
of railroad workmen, armed with shoveIs,
and reinforced by four locomotives, snow
plough, and passenger Car, worked q path
down the grade and came upon our engine
and train. There was no sign Of life about
the cars, and the rescuing party that had
started out from Bradford early in the
morning of the second day of the storm,
working toward us night and day, thought
that the relief had come too late. But the
snow bound prisoners were alive, and the
very first man to rush into the rear car of
our train was the young ladys lover. 1t
would be useless for me to attempt a des-
criptiOn of the meeting, for the young lady
just threw her arms about his neck and
cried for very joy. When he led her out of
her prison and carried her in his arms to
the passenger car of tine relief train, the
men of both parties set up such cheer
that made the. mountains echo and reecho
again, and the frightful way in which those
four locomotives joined in the chorus with
their steam whistles would have wakened
the dead.

Cupid in CamD and Court.

When the French sought to establish
monarchy in Mexico a Mazatlan youth
raised regiment of boys and waged against
such Of the invaders as appeared in Sina-
loa a warfare that told. The young mans
father was of Castillian blood and his
mother vas Mexican. His name, Corona.
soon became famous and at the age of %
he was regarded as the Mosby of Mexico.
At the end Of the war he was major gen
eral. the hero of the soldiers and the idol
of Mazatlan society. He was six feet tall,
broad shouldered handsome and daring.
While attending ball at the American 10
tel, in MaZatlan, he stumbled over a do
nestle, knocking a tray from her hand.
STOPPING TO pick up the crockery, General
Coron4 noticed that tEe girl was very pretty
and very saucy. She told him that her
name was Betty Bowman, that her mother
was San Francisco washerwoman and
that he ought TO know better than to rusl
so headlong down dark stairway. Corona
made love to the American miss and before
leaving for the capital be had learned of
her irreproachable though very humble life.
Once away, Betty's face and pert ways
haunted him so much that he wrote to her,
arranging for marriage by proxy. He re-
NAMED at Mazatlan; the bride went to q
convent school. They were a thousand
miles apart and wrote to each other daily,
the husband constantly instructing the
wife in polite ways. President Juarez, fear
ing that Corona's popularity would lead the
people to give their vote to the young SOL
der at an election then approaching, con
Guided to send him as minister TO Madrid

the eyes of all Mexicans. General Corona
took the washerwomans daughter to his

AN AFRICAN BOSS.
John Dunn, Chief of the Leading Statesmen
of Zululand.

of Zululand.
The. Pail Mall Gazette thus describes the
operations of the South African boss: John
Dunn. one of the thirteen kinglets among
whom, by the agency of Sir Garnet Wolse.
ley, Zululand was divided, differs from his
twelve brethren not only in being a pure
blooded European while they are stark saw.
ages, but also in reserving to himself in an
especial way privileges of cutting timber,
with the right to mine and seek for miner
ais, divert streams, cultivate unploughed
lands, advance or retard trade, in such and
SO complete way that he has, as it were,
the right of ingress, egress and regress
everywhere that his authority extends. His
country, next to the Tuqela, and bordered
to great extent by the sea, has
within it one landing-place, Port
Durnford, where it may be re-
membered, a noteworthy failure to secure
safe debarkation delayed the operations
of Sir Garnet Wolseley in the win
ter of 1879. Dunn has imposed after the
Natal fashion, hut tax on his people,
amounting to five shillings per hut, pay
able IN cash, every penny of which he keeps
himself for his own purposes. Dunn is a
Kafr Chief with European skill to raise
revenue for himself. He taxes all wagons
going into his country to the amount of EOS,
and he has the right and the power to lay
an embargo, on all trade at will. He is
clever, observant, brave man, who means
to make money fairly and rule reasonably
if he can; but he takes thought to himself
because he is wise in his generation, and
has no guarantee for the permanency of
his Office, one created by within and of most
uncertain tenure.
