MR.. BLAINE.s GRAFTON.

MI. BLAINE did no damage to his
reputation yesterday, Is an orator, in
bis speech at the GARFIELp memorial
services.
1t Is very terse, well expressed and
completeSketeh of the public services of
the dead President, 50 far as could con-
yeniently be contained in a single ora
ton.
1t was not to be expected that on such
an occasion and with such surroundings
any thing but the best that could be
spoken Of the deceased should have ut
terance from the orator of the hour. 1t
was spoken to the friends Of Gen. GAR
FIELD by his most intimate and trusted
friend and counsellor, and will be re-
sceiyed by the admirers Of the deceased
n a fair and uncolored estimate of his
public character and career. Mr..
BLAINE has shown good taste and
much adroitness In avoiding the dis
cussion Of those questions Of a partisan
character so intimately associated with
the Presidents death, and from which
the prejudice and passion Of that TIME
have not entirely died away. AS the
best effort OF M of the leading orators
Of the country upon a topic which has
interested the whole world, it Is worthy
of perusal, and We lay it before the
readers Of the REaIsTER this morning
for their entertainment and criticism.

There is an increasing variety of
views upon Senator Edmund's plans of
dealing with the Mormon question.
The very general discussion of the
subject now going on throughout the
country, has led to a more compre-
hensive view of the situation and the
difficulties involved.
The people Of the United States seem
to be in dead earnest in desiring to eX-
tirpate this influence existing in the
heart of the Continent, and how best and
most speedily to accomplish this end is
the question of the hour.
Whether Senator EDMUND's plan
will do it or not is becoming more and
more a question of doubt. We notice
that the Salt Lake organ of Nor
monism processes not to he at all
alarmed by the bill. Its reason as stated,
is that Sin but n essential particu-
lar does it change the present law in re-
gard to the prosecution ofpolygamists,-
namely, in making cohabitation instead
of marriage the ottense. 1t does not
alter the jury law. Persons who prac-
tice or believe it right to practice, polyg-
amy have been excluded from the jury
box in the trial of polygamous cases,
and the Supreme Court of the United
States has sustained this action by the
Utah courts, which makes it as good
law as If it were in the statute books.
The law of evidence remains unchang-
ed by the bill. In fact, the machinery
and the powers of the court are undis-
turbed. Hence it is not plain to see
why there should be greater alarm e
this feature of the proposed law than
there is over the anti-polygamy act Of
sn>SV
criticism, and the probability is that if
the EDMUND'S bill should become a
law, and is not carried out any more
theoretically than the existing laws,
of course, it will be equally ineffective.
If polygamy is to be wiped out in the
Territories, law-making ismerely prep
aration for a work that must be steady,
relentless and energetic.

Beheaded for Falling in Love.

Among the Chinese students who came
to this country to obtain an education
were two bright boys named Chin Chin
Yateh and Chin Chin Chan, who CAME
to this city. They were brothers, and
entered the Hopkins Grammar School,
where they made good progress in pre-
paration for Yale College. While in this
city they boarded in the family of Mr..
Vester, No. 90 Kensington Street. When
the students in this country were recalled
by the orders of the Chinese Government
last May the two brothers left for Hart
ford, where they learned the telegraph
business, and later on returned to China.
During their residence on Kensington
Street Chan became interested in young
lady named Sherman, living near by.
This fancy was strongly opposed on the
part of Miss Sherman's friends, but
Chants attentions were continued, and
were only interrupted by the departure
of the young Celestial The acquaint-
ance was kept alive, however, and Chan
has correspondent with the lady ever
since. The principal reason for recall
ing the Chinese students was the fear, on
the part of the authorities, that they were
becoming thoroughly Americanized, and
that they would marry American wives.
They were here at Government expense,
the object being to have them return to
their native country with power to intro
duce American civilization. Advices re-
ceived here state that Chan's persistence
in his devotion to Miss Sherman coming
to the knowledge of the Chinese authori-
ties, the young man was condemned to
death, and, according to Chinese Gus
toms, was beheaded in Hong Kong
Another instance, showing the narrow
ness of the policy of, the Chinese Govern
ment, is the fact that young Chinaman
now living in the family of the late DR..
Bacon, having become converted to
Christianity, was advised by the Chinese
Commissioner at Hartford to remain in
this country, as his return to his native
country would be the signal for his death.
He therefore remains in this country and
will study for the ministry. One of the
latest labors of DR.. Bacon was in arrang-
ing for the young mans education, =

Dragged.

Boys are often as foolish braggarts as
their elders. They love to ''show of, -
and will put themselves to trouble and
pain in order to win admiration. The
following anecdote, taken from the New
York Ledger, displays braggart whose
folly brought ridicule upon himself;
when | was at SCHOOL, says Colonel
Tracey, late clerk to the Mayor, .'there
was one boy with whom was ALWAYS
quarrelng. He was an Irish youth
named Barney, and, like many of his
countrymen, he had fair share of
mother wit. l believe / disliked him
mainly because of his wit, which sooner
or later made every boy in school the
butt of some joke. to-. .a...f.,
'iNever shall forget how / tried to
get even with him, and how wofully he
beat me with my own weapons. LAYING
my plan carefully beforehand l drew
Barney into controversy, in presence
OF most of the boys, upon the compare
tive bravery of the Anglo-Saxon and
Celtic races. After warm discussion.
in which history was largely drawn
upon, and much bantering exchanged, i
said: f... c, = \
Look here, Barney, we can test the
thing right here. You are an Irishman
am Yankee. Now will engage to
do something here, this moment, that YOU
will not dare to do
"'Go ahead!' returned he defantly.
and the boys crowded around to see the
fun, took large pin from my coat
and deliberately thrust it through the
lobe of my ear, pulled it through to the
head and then drew it out. 1t hurt
dreadfully, but never WINGED.
There Barry said l, handing him
the pin, 4 dare you to do that
every eye was upon him, but he was
quite equal to the occasion.
Yes he replied, slowly, 4 dare do
it-but I'm not such a blasted fool
"What shout the boys raised! |
skunk away, feeling very silly. had a
sore ear for many days, and firmly re-
resolved never again to outbrag an Irish
man.
