Why the Chinese were Recalled.

1t is said that the recall of the Chinese
students was due to an incident that oc-
Cured in an interview which young
and learned Chinese had with Ii Hung
Chang. The Chinese in question had
spent some time in America, and the
result of the technical education be had
received there was that he was as skill
full as any foreigner in certain depart
ment of mining engineering. He spoke
English perfectly, and had good
knowledge of French; but unfortunate
ly this proficiency in foreign tongues
was obtained at the cost of the vernacu-
lar, which he could neither speak, read,
nor write with fuency or correctness.
On arriving in China, the young fellow
found himself in what appeared to him
to be a strange land, $50 unaccustomed
was he to the language and manners of
his people, and furthermore, despite his
advanced professional knowledge, he
discovered that he could not obtain en-
ployment commensurate with his train
ing and attachments. Some influential
friends bestirred themselves in his be-
half. and his case was brought under
the notice of Ii Hung Chang, who sum-
moned the young man to his presence.
The young Chinese felt abashed when
he found himself before the viceroy,
and, in reply to the brusque question Of
the latter, 'tWhat can you dop' he
could only stammer out few words of
shocking1y bad Chinese expressive of
his respect to the questioner. His power
of expressing himself in the vernacular,
which was limited at the best of times,
completely forsook him on this occasion
and he stood trembling before Ii. The
viceroy was outraged at this instance of
a man forgetting the language of his IA
theirs, and forcibly told the youth that
he was nothing better than a foreigner,
adding: sWhy, you were sent abroad
to study science and gain knowledge,
not to lose your nationality, and you re-
turn here complete foreigner" Chang
ing from this severe tone and address
ing the Chinese in piayfully threaten
ing manner, Ii minated to him that he
would give him an opportunity of dis
playing and exerting his professional
knowledge by sending him to assist in
working one of the mines, but, added
the viceroy, eff you do not relearn your
language by the time your probation is
finished, BEWARE" and he made mo-
ton significant of the act of decollation.
The student left the presence of the dis
penser of life and death with firm de-
termination to return to the speech of
his fathers, and to merit the favor be-
slowed on him by Ii in ssexploiting"
this mine. He shortly afterward left for
the scene of operations, and is now ac-
quitting himself with satisfaction in dis
charging his duties. Not long after this
incident Ii had several interviews with
other Chinese who had studied in for
eign lands, and the suspicious engen-
dered in his mind by the first-named
student with respect to the effect of for
eign education became confirmed to
such degree that he approved of, if
not originated, the action of recalling
all Chinese studying in America

A Young Lady SOmnambulist.

Miss Broughall, daughter of the Rev. Mr..
Bronghall, rector of st. Stephens church,
was walking down College avenue about l
O'Clock yesterday morning in company with
her brother and another young gentleman.
when they met a young lady, apparently
about Is years of age, hurrying towards
Sleepy Hollow. At the same moment the
somnambulist was met by four or five young
men, several of them students, who were 20.
ing in the same direction as the first party.
The girl, in her robe de nuif presented a
ghost-like appearance, and when she vas first
seen by these young men she was gliding be-
hind the shadow of n large tree. keeping close
to the railing of what was formerly bridge,
and still heading for Sleepy Hollow. The
young men soon saw that the girl was asleep,
and stopped and awakened her "Where am

bebeld her costume and then burst into tears.
One of the Young men lent his overcoat, an
other his cap, and the fair young somnambu-
list was taken to the residence of the Rev.
Mr.. Broughall, where she was provided with
suitable clothes and sent to her home in the

Daisies and Thistles.

The ox-eye daisy is a perennial plant !:
yet. if it is not allowed to ripen its seed,
the vitality of its root is soon exhausted,
and it will disappear. Some claim that if
kept closely cut it will not survive more
than two years. The writer has cleared
a roadside which was covered with it, by
repeated cuttings and not allowing the
seed to ripen. Sometimes the cutting
was done number of times in a season,
and now only here and there plant makes
its appearance. In a wet season
docks may be pulled up by the
roots. but in a dry season it will be found
nearly impossible to do so. Thistles
are great nuisance. but may be re-
duced, and in many cases killed.
by cutting two or three times in season.
Then if the land IS heavily manured, so
that heavy crop of grass is encouraged
to grow, they will be seriously checked.
if not entirely destroyed. No plant can
long survive constant and close cutting,
as the root soon becomes exhausted unless
the top is allowed to grow and draw nutri-
ment from the atmosphere and thistles
are no exception to the rule. The great
trouble is that people make no effort to
prevent their growth, but complain of
their presence and spread.
