The prospect Of ant-Chinese legislation at the
present session OF Congress Is certainly not such
rs to encourage the advocates of It In the first
place there Is a diversity of opinion among those
who feel it TO be their special duty to labor for
restriction upon Chinese immigration, as to what
sort OF a measure the President would approve
He does not indicate, In his veto message, what
legislation OF this kind would meet his views. The
report that he would approve a ten-year suspen-
sion OF immigration has not, it seems, any official
or even semi-ofcial authority, and In view of the
fact that Congress would have to guess at the
Presidents ideas, In preparing and passing BILL
some OF the advocates OF anti-ChineSe legislation
are In favor OF adhering to the vetoed BILL and OF
making stubborn fight for it, while others think
IL wiser 20 accept half a loaf, 1t were, If they

appointment OF a nonresident. The water de-

while the fiscal year of the same is to be made 10

The readjustor coalition political family OF Viz
ginla Is not altogether q happy one. and its
chances OF continued power In the state are not
improving. Ex-AuiItOr Massey, the founder of
the party end "father OF readjustment," was IN
tremendously turned out OF Office because he
would not permit the caucus 10 appoint his clerks
and assistants does not intend to be thus retired
to privat, life. He Is determined TO teach the men
who deprived him Of an Office which he believed
the people wanted him to hold, that they are not
masters OF the state. III the pending gerryman-
dering appOrtlOnment bih can be defeated-and it
may possibly be done by the aid OF the readjuster
senators who stand by Massey-then the ex-audi-
tor expects TO be a candidate for CongreSSman-at-
large from Virginia, and It is quite likely he would
be supported by the democrats as his election
would tend 10 destroy the political influence Of
Malone. There are other troubles In the readjuS-
ter camp besides those growing out OF the Massey
quarrel 10 now appears that the colored voters
were promised liberal share OF state and federal
patronage in return for their support. and many
OF them are complaining that this promise has not
been fulfilled. Numbers of them have visited

Offices which they allege were promised them, and

Falling From a Trapeze.

"Of course L had to let go, and then
I began to turn spirally like corkscrew
and then go down. instantly realized
that I must not land all spread out.
l gathered my left arm close to my
body, pushed my head forward and
drew my legs together, struggling to
get into shape to fall on my side. I
did fall just that way forty feet on a
wooden stage. My arm was driven into
my side and rib broken. The arm was
shattered, and was laid up for many
months. While I was going down in
an instant I saw over again, as vivid as
life, every fall ever witnessed. They
came up in my mind, one right after an
other, like successive flashes of light
ming, and I seemed to be experiencing all
of them in my own person. But, worse
than the shock of arriving, was the ter
rible shrek of agony that went up from
the audience. 1t was like one heart
breaking wall of agony, I can hear it
yet, and L do hear it every time think
of the accident. That is popularity
of our family. We all heard that shrek,
and none of us ever forgot it. How
did that accident occur Z My brother
Tom made a mistake in the measure
ments because of a miscalculation of
the space in q round dome. The rope
was two feet farther away from the lad
der than it ought to have been. "-Louis

What Liberia Needs.

Edward s. Morris, of Philadelphia, in
lecture on Liberia as l Saw It." ex-
planned the geography of the continent
and the position of the little Republic
of Liberia. Africa, he said, had as
many square miles of territory as the
United States and South America. Lii
IBERIA had a sea coast of 600 miles, ex-
tended 200 miles inland, and had from
5000 to 10000 American Liberians,
who governed about ], 10000 natives.
Because of the climate Liberia was no
place for white men, yet its mortality
had never equaled that of jamestown or
Plymouth. Mr.. Morris exhibited large
and interesting collection of Liberian
products, of which, he said, none we've
more valuable than coffee. In pecu-
mary sense coffee was Liberals back
bone. Coffee grew all over the country.
All the Liberians had to do was to
tickle the soil with a hoe and it fairly
laughed a harvest. The lecturer showed
specimens of Liberian chocolate,
cayenne pepper, spices of all kinds,
lime juice, cotton, etc. Indigo plants,
he said, grew as thick in Liberia as
huckleberry bushes in New Jersey.
Africa's great product, however, was
palm-oil. Liberia possessed one re-
markable thing, mountain of natural
steel ore, believed TO be the only in
stance of natural steel ore in the world.
The great difficulty in the way of de-
veloping the resources of the dark con-
tinent, Mr.. Morris continued, was the
want of education. The natives felt
this want, and were eager to learn. Mr..
Morris then told of the work he has de-
voted his life to-the planting and main
tenance of schools for the natives in
Liberia. A year ago he opened his first
school and it was prospecting finely. AS
fast as he was able he intended to ex-
tend his schools, which he believed
would go far TO solve the problem of
Africa's release from ignorance aud sus
peEstition.

Getting Ready for 1t.

That was singular occurrence at the
western addition on Wednesday, when
a prominent member of the big board
stopped to speak to a burly Irishman
who was shoveling sand as if casket
of doubloons lay under his pile. els
that hard work" said the broker.
"Begorra, thry how you loike it." said
the laborer. "You bet you," said the
broker, and pulling off his coat, he spit
on his hands and went to work with a
will. Then, while the perspiration ran
down his face, he delved and lifted, and
finally put aside the shovel and gave
the man q quarter. "What the deuce
did you do that for ?" asked friend,
who had regarded the performance with
considerable curiosity. Because, u
was the reply, ''unless stock matters
improve within the next three months,
I'll have to come to it, for l couldn't
beg, and l can't borrow, and I'll be
hanged if I'm going to starve as long as
there is a sand hill and shovel in San
Francisco"

The Dogs Memory.

The Salt Lake Tribune says:-Day
before yesterday some wretch tied tin
kettle to the tail of John Fallon's dog.
The dog started off with the kettle about
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and after
running up Park City and down to
Pennington, came back in the evening
without the kettle and very much
fatigued. The guests of the Gift House
extended their consolation to the dog,
who was manifestIy in need of sympa-
thy. Everything went well with the
dog until about 8 O'Clock, when young
lady from Juab was requested to play
'"The Irish Patrol" on the piano. She
played the faint, weird music of the
opening bars, when the dog began to
prick up his ears. The girl strolled by
degrees into the heavier staccato pas
sages which indicates the near approach
of the advance guard, and with a yelp
of terror he rose up and went through
the window, taking sash, panes and all,
under the plausible impression that the
tin kettle was again advancing upon him
from the rear. The dog ran to the Jor-
dan and suicided by drowning.

The Boy in the Mine.

OF the $4,000 persons employed in
the work OF mining and preparing an
thracite coal for market, says Penn
sylvania newspaper correspondent, at
least 20, 900 are boys, whose ages range
between nine and eighteen years. Some
enter the breaker to pick slate OF the
tender age of six or seven. In most
cases this is the result of desperate need
growing out of the sudden death of the
father-upon whose labor the family
depended solely for support-by one of
the many accidents so common in the
coal mines. One does not knew whether
it would be more cruel to permit or pre-
vent this on a close examination of the
circumstances. These lisping little
workmen, for whom the battle of life
begins at the very cradle, have to aid
in supporting younger brothers and
sisters, who were suddenly left father
less, and whose tender years entitle
them to the sole attention of their
mothers. For the employment of child
labor, under such circumstances, there
may be some excuse in a great indi-
vidual community but it is an iron
fate that compels it. There are, how
ever, a great many parents in Pennsyl-
vania who, for the sake of the paltry
earnings, send their children to work in
the coal breakers as slate pickers at an
early age, and for these there is no pal
liation. Having once entered upon such
career the boy may be said to be
bound to the business for life, and he
goes through tie regular stages like an
automaton. He picks slate until he
gets too big for the screen room. Then
he considers himself fortunate if he is
promoted" to drive mule in the
mines-a task calling for no small share
of patience, skill and courage. Then
in course of time he becomes a laborer,
and when he is we'll advanced in years
he may attain to the responsible posi-
ton of miner unless in the meantime
he is crushed to death by fall of root,
kicked by mule or squeezed between
the cars. He takes all these risks, and
more. His opportunities, by reason OF
his calling, are generally very meagre
for seIf-improvenent. If he attends
the public schools it is usually during
some period of suspension in mining,
when everybody in the region is un
happy and but little thought is giver
to learning. OF course, when children
are thus shut out from all reasonable
chances for schooling it is not to be ex
pected that they can become competen
in any sphere calling for more judgmen
than is required by the ordinary da.
laborer, and but few make sufficien
progress to be competent as foremen.
