The Half Sheet.

We are ouly abe to issue half sheet Of the
Times this week, in consequence of one OF our
composiors leaving us very unexpectedly We
supposed that all our arrangements had been sat
isfaciorily made, for the winter at least. but on
Saturday morning. while at breakfast, we were
notified, greatly to our surprise, that one of our
young men would leave that day for school in
Oh ,rleston. There are no printers Lying around
loose in Union, and as none but person who
could set type would be the least service to us,
we found ourself in Sery unpleasant dilemma.
And 10 make our difficulty still worse; on
Wednesday our principal hand was attacked
with chills and fever, and is now unable to work
and this half sheet has been almost gotten out
by two small, boys neither of them more than Is
years old
The work in a newspaper Office is not like any
other we can now think Of. There is just so
much work to be done every week, by u certain
hour to meet the mails, and none Lut printers
can do that work. No vtfi &c can afforl TO keep
an idle hand about it, for au emergency. Each
one n the office must do his allotted share of the
work, and to do that he has no time for idlng
If time is lost it must be made up before the next
paper is issued, or the mails are missed and the
iitor is assailed by subscribers in every part Of
the counry for delinquency. And we cannot
wonder at such complaints, for many subscribers
have to 60 from two to four miles to postoffice
FOR their paper and if it is not there the day
expected it causes not merely disappointment,
but involves jreat loss OF time and much ,nconve-
nience {! so it will be seen that printing office
is much like n clock--its hands must move reg.
ular and constant, and if anything interferes
with its working il must either stop outright
or be in danger Of being cast aside As unreliable
and, consequently, worthless,

FESTIVITIES AT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
A Brilliant Dinner Party Given In
Honor OF Gen. and Mrs. Grant.

Because of the presence of General
and Mrs. Grant as guests in the White
House, the dinner party for Wednesday
evening was much larger and more
elaborate affair than anything hitherto
attempted by President Arthur. The
state dining-room was used, and covers
were laid for thirty six persons. Large
azalea trees were ranged along the
walls and in the inches, and the
table was loaded with flowers.
A long mirror was placed above the cen
tire of the board, and from cushion of
flowers rose a tall standard bearing a
central bouquet of Bonsilene roses, with
three side compartments containing
Jacqueminot, Cornelia Cook and Mare
chal Mel roses. Set pieces of crimson
and white azaleas and carnation pinks
were on each side of this centre piece,
and at both ends of the mirror were
large vases filed with roses. Branches
of wax lights adorned the table at inter-
walls. Six wine glasses and goblet were
at each plate, and cards bearing the
guests names were laid on the folded
napkins. BOutOnnleres were provided
for the gentlemen, and large corsage
bouquet, tied with blue satin ribbon, was
laid at each ladys plate.
President Arthur escorted Mrs. Grant
to the table and seated her at his right,
the other guests being arranged in the
following order: Speaker Keifer and
Mrs. Frelipghuysen, Admiral Porter
and Mrs. McKeever, Mr.. John Davis
and Miss Elena Porter, Mr.. Phillips and
Miss Jeffray, Representative Robson
and Mrs. Craig Wadsworth, Senator J.
d. Cameron and Mrs. Bancroft Davis.
Senator Logan and Mrs Jones, Mr..
George Bancroft and Mrs. Logan, Gen.
Grant and Mrs Keifer, who sat facing
the President; ex-Secretary Fish and Mrs.
Cameron, Representative Kasson and
Miss Lucy Frelinghuysen, Gen. Edward
Beale and Miss Cults, Gen. McKeever
and Miss Beale, Mr.. Bancroft Davis and
Mrs. Beale, Senator John p. Jones and
Mrs. John Davis, Senator Anthony and
Mrs. Robson, Secretary Frelinghuysen
and Mrs. Hamilton Fish, who was seated
at the left of the P esident.
The ladies were richly attired. Mrs.
Grant wearing toilet of crimson velvet.
with ornaments of diamonds and pearls
Mrs. Keifer, lavender satin and brocade,
with point lace: Mrs Frelinghuysen,
black sal in; Mrs. Fish, black MORE an
tique; Mrs, Logan, peacock blue velvet
over a petticoat of blue and silver bro
cade; Mrs. Jones, corsage and train of
silver brocade, with front of white
tulle and satin; Mrs Beale, pearl-colored
satin and brocade trimmed with f1ounces
of point de venise; Miss Beale, toilet
of white satin and Spanish lace, with a
broad Bulgarian necklace of gold and
precious stones; Mrs. Cameron, she'll
tinted satin, with diamond ornaments;
Mrs Robson, white brocade; Mrs. John
Davis, white tulle, with white bugle EN-.
broidery; Miss Frelinghuysen. white EN-.
broidered Grape and satin. Dinner was
announced at eight o'clock, and the
guests rose at half past ten. Eighteen
courses were served. The Marine Band
played selections during the evening,
and the conservatory was illuminated
by calcium lights shining through
colored glasses.

Commodore shufeldt In China.

The San Francisco Bulletin publishes
an INTEREST,"; q letter from Commodore
r. W. Shufeldt to the Hon. A. A. Sar-
gent. giving the result of his Observa-
tons in China. He sums up that there
is no use to attempt 10 put diplomatic
intercourse with China on high moral
ground or to appeal to any of the mo-
tives which ordinarily govern nations.
Irradicable hatred of foreigners exists,
and sympathy will be construed as weak
ness. If Justice is done China, it must
be for its own sake, without hope of ap-
probation, and if exacted it must be I'M
relenting. A show of force is the only
argument appreciated. China is espe-
cially autsgonistic to our form of govern
ment. This has been exempliaed in the
treatment of the returned Chinese stu
dents.
Commodore Shufeldt holds that, not
withstanding the possession of some
formidable ships and improved weapons,
China. owing mainly to the character OF
the people and the gross abuses and cor
ruption pervadlng all official circles, has
no real aggressive military or naval
strength; that there is and can be no
affinity between the people of the United
States and China; that the Government
of the United States, as the Government
of Europe, should insist upon its rights
IN China, eonceding no more than is
granted, aud trusting no more than it is
trusted, and that there never can be any
intimate political or commercial relations
except on a basis such as the United
States may demand.
The letter coRcludess ST address this
letter to you because remember that
you were an earnest opponent of IN
limited Chinese immigration into the
United States, both as Senator and citi-
zen of your State, although at the time
/ did not fully concur with you"

The probability that the anti Chinese
bill will become a law does not give
complete satisfaction to the jewellers on
the Pacific coast A correspondent of
the Sacramento R6c2rd- Union (Rep.)
says:
THE Chinese bill has passed the
Senate and will no doubt become law.
Let us duly appreciate the services of
those in and out of Congress who have
reached this result, but let us not expect
too much from this law. Will it injure
or benefit San Francisco and this coast {?
One thing it will do, and that is, it will
top the Chinese from coming to
California in vessels direct from
China; but will or can it keep
them from coming here indirectly from
Mexico and from the British posses
sions2 Will not Guaymas now become
the port on the American coast TO which
the immigrant ships will run, and will
not new immigrants swarm across our
whole southern border? But one result
We must expect from the exclusion of
the Chinese, and that is the cheapening
of labor. The presence of the Asiatic
here has kept away the more numerous
European competitor, who will now
come here. The competition of Euro
pean labor will now begin here, and
lower wages here as it has in the
East, where there are almost no Chi
reese at all. If we could get rid of the
Asiatic, in fact, we would not only
have cheaper labor in the greater compe-
tition of Europeans, but we would get
material for citizens and people homo
geneous with US in race, customs and
interests. This is a gain. 1t is doubt
full whether we can keep the Asiatic
from invading us through Mexico on the
south and the British possessions on the
north, but if we succeed in the entire
exclusion of newcomers, and have
opened the way for a large European
population, we shall lose much of the
shipping now engaged in the Chira
trade, but we gain valuable popula.
