Bayard Taylor on the Chinese.

Bayard Taylor says of the Chinese,
inhis work entitled India, China
and Japan" published in 1856: at
is my deliberate opinion that morally
the Chinese are the most debased
people on the face of the earth,
Forms of vice, which in other coun-
tries are barely named, are in China
so common that they excite no com,
ment among the natives. They con-
stitute the surface level, and below
them are depths and depths of
depravity 80 shocking that their
character cannot even be limited.
There are some dark shadows in
human nature which we naturally
shrink from penetrating, and | made
no effort to collect information of
this kind; but there was enough in
the things which I could not avoid
seeing and hearing-which are
brought daily to the notice of every
foreign RESIDENT inspire me with
a powerful aversion to the Chinese
race. Their touch is pollution, and
harsh as the opinion may seem, JUS
tice to our own race demands that
they shall not be allowed to settle on
our soil. Science may have lost
something, but mankind has gained,
by the exclusive policy which has
governed China for the past CEN
turies,"

Truth in a Household.

Miss Martineau truly observes that
Of all happy households, that is the
happiest where falsehood is never
thought of. All peace is broken up
when once it appears that there is a
liar in the house. All comfort is gone
when suspicion has once entered,
when there must be reserve in talk
and reservation in belief. Anxious
parents, who are aware of the pains
of suspicion, will place generous con
fidence in their children, and receive
what they say freely, unless there is
strong reason to distrust the truth of
any one. If such an occasion should
unhappily arise, they must keep the
suspicion from spreading as long as
possible, and avoid disgracing their
door child, while there is any chance
of his cure by their confidential as
sistance. He should have their pity
and assiduous help, as if he were suf-
fering from some disgusting bodily
disorder. If he can be cured, he will
become duly grateful for the treat
ment. If the endeavor fail, means
must, Of course, be taken to prevent
his example doing harm
1 fear that from some cause or
other there are few families where
every member is altogether truthful.
Some, who are not morally guilty, are
intellectually incapable of accuracy.
But where all are so organized and
so trained as to be wholly reliable in
act and word, they are light to all
eyes and a joy to all hearts. They
are a public benefit, for they are a
point Of general reliance and they
are privately blessed, within and with
out Without, their life is made easy
by universal trust and within their
home and their hearts, they have the
security of rectitude and the gladness
of innocence. If we do but invoke
wisdom, she will come, and multiply
such homes in our land.

Jesse James in Heaven.

The only newspaper which has
thus far published an obituary, of the
late Mr.. James which was in any way
worthy of the Importance of its sub
ject is the Indianapolis Journal
This notice, which was evidently
written under q pressure of profound
feeling, gives q short sketch of the
deceased, and closes It's account of
his imposing obsequies as follows :
"The mother of this poor, prose
cuted saint was greatly broken up,
but sought to comfort those about
her, saying: i knew it had to
come but my dear boy Jesse is bet
ter off in heaven to-day than he
would be here with us. And she
was right He is better off-oh, 50
much better off And so are we.
Gone to heaven! How comforting
the thought--to those who don't ex-
pect to get there. And then the fu-
neral services were so touching, so
appropriate, opening as they did
with the saints favorite hymn,
What a Friend We Have in Jesus. ;
Could anything be more suitable to
the sad occasion The sermon by
Rev. Martin followed, and is said to
have been sweetly full of the forbear-
ance of Christ and his willingness to
forgive. The unique services were
closed with the hymn, Where Shall
Rest Be Found ?'-an inquiry that
has been agitating the people and au-
thorities of states west of the Mis-
souri, for some years. Yes, Jesse's in
heaven now He got the drop on
Peter, and had the door open in TO
time. Sweet little Jesse is walking
the golden streets, and all the angels
from Missouri are now holding up
their hands while he goes through
their pockets. Angelic Jesse With
a palm in one hand and revolver in
the other he'll march right along
with the best of them. Dear children,

Macaroni.

This nutritious and wholesome ar
ticle of food is little used in this
country. In Italy, however, its use
is universal, often constituting the
principal food, or taking the place of
fish, vegetables, and the dessert gen
orally, in the regular dinner 1t is
also sold and eaten in the streets as
freely as fruits are with us. Its use
is extensive in France and Germany.
1t consists of pure gluten, which ele-
ment consists only of three and one
half per cent of wheat flour, and is
wholly wanting in rye and oatmeal.
The gluten when wet, is a tough,
elastic mass, Of a yellowish brown
color, and is obtained by dissolving
out the starch and other constituents
of the -four with cold water. The
process is as follows: The -four,
having been made up into a soft
dough, is placed on a fine seive, over
q vat Of water, and is kneaded-in
Italy with the feet-as long as the
water, which falls on it in a spray,
runs through milky. The tenacious
nature of the gluten prevents it pass
ing through. Starch is manufactured
from the contents of the vat. The
long, hollow tubes are formed by
passing the gluten through a pecu-
liar shaped opening in a metallic
plate and this tubular form, 80 i'm
portant to it in cooking, is indispens-
able to its drying, as gluten, when
moist rapidly tends to decompo-
sition.
Counterfeit macaroni is made from
Hour, instead of from gluten. 1t is
more smooth and glossy than the
genuine; is apt to be moldy inside;
Is not as elastic when broken, does
not show the glossy fracture of the
Iormer; and in cooking becomes
pssty, and does not preserve the tub
uiar form. The genuine also-as
tne counterfeit does not-swells up
70 more than double its original
cmclness, 1t would be a gain to our
cookery ii macaroni were in more
common use among us.-Household.

As SOME lady visitors were going
through q penitentiary under the
escort of superintendent, they came
to room in which three women were
sewing. Dear me !" one of the
visitors whispered, "what vicious
looking creatures |! Pray, what are
they here for ?" Because they have
no other home this is our sitting
room, and they are my wife and two
daughters" blandly answered the

IT will require something more
than blue China tea-pots and that
floral nightmare, the sunfower, tC
open peoples eyes. The race is be,
coming more artificial every year;
Everything that is natural and true
seems to be at a discount. 1t is art,
art, art. Artificial light, artificial
color, artificial taste-copied from
some one else. The craze that we
stand in need of is craze of com
mon sense; a craze that will induce
people to build their houses as they
ought to be built; with plenty OF
windows to let in the sunshine, and
freplaces instead of those abomina-
tions, hot-air furnaces. What if fuel
is little expensive? 1t costs much
less than a family of invalids, or an
annual supply of cofins. So far as
home decorations are concerned, nc
picture can equal an open window,
framing woodland and glen-no
ornament a good and pleasant face,
We have had deluge of fashionable
sham; let us hope that the dove will
soon herald the approach Of a more
honest regime-an age when people
will know enough to retire at some
other hour than that of daybreak,
walk instead of ride, depend on them
selves and do honest work; work
that they may not be ashamed to
own in this world or the next. Give
me the glow on the cheek that has
been kissed by the wind, the elastic
step, the bright eye, the worker, the
honest man or woman, and you may
have the pale, languid esthetic.

Who Was He, Anyway?

The following lyric on somebody
who is said to reside in Napa is too
good to keep. II we were that insur-
ance man we would get out policy
on the "Poet Lariat's" life for half a
million, then fill him chock full of
nitro-glycerine and dump him off
from the top of Mt. st. Helena:
AN AMATEUR BLESSING
Written by the Poet LsriatI
In Galena he first knew his papa
A festive young sucker, you bet,
He insures mems lives
And those of their wives,
In manner you mustn't forget,
One day this young man made mash,
And stayed with his charmer for hash,
In Pope Vale.
Says she, Mr.. Man,
Please do, if you can,
Say grace on this meal.
Then the young nan was fearfully shocked
And his knees together they knocked
With fear,
For with all his smooth cheek,
Life insurance to seek,
1t wouldn't work here.
But try it he had to-,
Though he'd been glad to
Have out the job.
So with eyes wrong side up,
And curse on bis luck.
He opened his COB.
"Mary had little sheep,
Called it little Bo Peep;
o, Lord thou knowest the rest,
Please consider it read
And bless this corn bread,
While pull down my vest"

ITwould be we'll for the skilled artisans who
are now on strike for relief from the op.
preston of the monopolists, 10 clean their
own skirts Of the crimes of which they so
bitterly complain, 10y throwing open the doors
of the several trades to which they belong
to the Industrious and deserving youth of the
country. To make q monopoly of their
trades by opposing state education
for the youth OF the country who
wish to become skilled artisans,
or By attaching conditions as sine qua non
to apprenticeship that are unjust and selfish,
as we'll as degrading to the apprentice, is
monopoly that is in its tendency fatal alike to
the future moral and N aterial interests of the
country. The prejudices of modern social
leaders to the contrary Notwithstanding the
handlcraftsmen and producers are today,
the nobility of the republic, and no
society or business regulation tending to
initiate against their social or professional
standing should be tolerated in q community
capable of discriminating the difference be-
tween a government of upstairs and one di.
rected by the energy and intelligence of those
who contribute 10 the advancement of its so.
cial and material interests. Mechanics and
laboring men undoubtedly have their griev-
ances, but before inviting public aid and
sympathy, they should see whether they them
selves are not endeavoring to make monopoly.
Free trade and the workingmen's rights is a
good banner to unfurl, and they must first
grant rights among themselves before they
can expect to secure their rights from others.

SWAMP ANGEL JOURNALISM.

The ancient remark relative to the impossi-
bility of transforming a swine's ear into a
silk purse finds Its counterpart in the i'm
possibility for a swamp angel to display COM
mon decency in journalism. The genius of that
variety who halls from the foreign shores of
Indiana, displays his lack of knowledge of
the free institutions of this country by an in
decent and lying assault in the P. p upon the
majority members of the Board of Educ alton.
He displays his ignorance at The outset by
assigning Mr.. Wllgus to the Fifth ward in
stead of the First, which he represents. Fol-
lowing this, the swamp angel proceeds to lie
in manner which completes with electricity
in rapidity.
On Monday evening the board elected a
president, vice president, secretary and super
intendent of schools, ana adjourned. Being
disgruntled over the result of the cleo
ton the swamp angel lies wilfully
by celebrating, stating that certain COM
mittees were appointed, that Mr.. Hamilton
was retirted, that the schools are to be turned
over to the Catholics, ETC. As matter of
fact not a single committee was appointed or
limited at: AS in body of twelve there are
but three Catholics it might be fair to
assume that the nine could regulate the
three, but that wo uld leave no bugbear
for swamp angel to conjure up.
A year ago Democrat saw fit to vote for
and elect Republican president of the board.
His right to do so was recognized, and
no one censured him. Even the immaculate
swamp angel had no abuse TO apply
to Democrat who voted for Republican
Mr.. Wilgus, Republican, having seen fit to
vote for Democrat, is violently asssiled. He
has simply had the independence to rise above
party and vote for what he regards as the best
interests of the public schools.
There is no occasion for the public joining
in the alarm which agitates the purlieus Of
swamp angels. The public schools have no
better friend in the city than Mr.. Open
helm, and the committees, when ap.
pointed, will be selected with a view to their
fitness and not to carry out some plot which
only exists in the perturbed skull of journal.
ist whose regular diet is falsehood and bill
lingsgate.
The members of the board who are being
abusd In that quarter have reason TO be
proud of such censure.

The Unpopular Collector Of BOston-Re-
fusal to Keepand to Toast Kissed.
BOSTON, June Sat the annual field ban
quet of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company, Of Boston, the following letter was
read from Collector Worthington, who was
assigned to respond to the toast of the presi-
dent of the United States:
81 am in receipt OF an invitation EXTENDED
to the collector of the port Of Boston to re-
spond at an anniversary festival of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery company, to respond
in honor of the president of the United States.
Personally, it.would give me pleasure to ac-
cept, but | find that occasions of this nature
become so numerous as to create demands
upon the time of the collector, which,
if complied with, would seriously
interfere with that constant personal attention
which the new members of the Office should
give to its duties. In these peaceful and pros
Porous days, when the Office and person of
the president OF the United States are hon
ored throughout the country and world, am
sure you will agree with me that the proper
discharge of the duties of the position l hold
by his appointment, is the best service | can
render him aud the country. Permit NE, then,
to decline your courteous invitation.
The letter was received with storm OF
Misses and CrOaps.
