san Francesca Chronicle
 The work of naturalization has re- ceived a wonderful impetus since the meeting of the San Jose Convention From ten to fifteen fresh citizens are turned out daily by the various down town judges of the Superior Court, a dozen Of them swearing allegiance be- fore Judge Waymire yesterday. The amount of ignorance Of some of these applicants is at times surprising. An Irishman was yesterday asked by Judge Waymire;
 Do you believe in a Republican form of GOvernment?'
 'No, surr' I'm a Dimmycrat," was the answer.
 "Do you know what is meant by Re publican form of governments" was the next question.
 ''Yes, surr."
 "You do know what is meant by Re publican form Of government?" reiter- ated the Judge.
 No. surr"
 Well, do you prefer President to 6 King or QueeuY
 'Yes."
 The applicant passed. renouncing all allegiance to Queen Victoria, and man. aged to scratch an 'N'' to Clerk Merry E signature Of his name.
 Another foreigner who appeared was asked:
 "You were a minor when you came to this country:
 "No. your Honor, I was q carpinter." /" replied the bright addition to the ranks.

BRAND NEW ANTIQUES.
Worm Eaten Furniture and osiser old Ar
 ficles uadc Co Order.

From the Providence Journal.
 There are thousands of persons abroad in the land looking for avenues of es- cape for their money, and an army Of handy wOrkmen with wares to sell will do what they can to make such outlets numerous and easy. It is an old story that antique furniture, two or three hundred years old, dated from any de- sired landmark in history, is turned out every year m great abundance by those who are skilled in the business. Old clocks, old dresses, old bedsteads and anything, even if made yesterday, have great value m the eyes of many persons satisfied with antiquity in appearance. Worm eaten furniture IS now one of the rages. This furniture IS easily produced with the aid of bird shot which is fired into lt. Old houses torn down furnish worm eaten timber from which this set of furniture used by Philip of Spain was made.
 France produces old Rouen and Seyres ware by the ear load. Limoges enam- els are plenty. The new Ones-nearly all are new are buried in moist earth a month, and then dated back 800 or 100 years according to the wants of the atA7tN'-A-NA- A-t Ntu IC hAAlktNi dH lO tlIt-. The famous ware of Henry ITs time IS produced the year around. Treated wIthh uor-hydric acid 1t becomes pain fully old in a short time. A vase worth s has been known to advance to Sl, 300 with the aid of ten cents worth of acid. In Berlin pottery used by the Romans all the Cesars-can be had by the crate.
 At home we make old coins, Queen Anno furniture and other kinds of fur nlture old as the hills. All these facts, sworn to by many newspapers, are now going the rounds for the exclusive bene- fit of those who might be robbed other wise. An exchange says that the New York manufacturers of spurious wares send their products to the watering places, and there find ready buyers. Regency clocks are cast by the ton every day in Paris, but they are very scarce and bring fabulous prices.

Holiday Cruising.
Harpezs Magazine.


 Ten or fifteen people, even twenty, might charter a schooner and take a cruise without heavy expense. BerthE could be fitted up fer the women of the party. No matter how many went on tbe cruise, the character and wages of the crew would remain fixed quantity. Eighteen adults ought to sail around for month at a total expense of S9O0, and live in perfect comfort. 1t would not be advisable to have a vessel of more than 125 tons, vn account of difficulty in entering small harbors. You would have to engage your own cook and steward. In a trip of this character a great deal as to route must be left to the captain. People intent on pleasure often overlook the great re- sponsibility a captain has to bear It may be very fine in port and it might be foggy and squally outside, and your captain always knows better than you do how to sail his craft Propitious whether, 1t may be remarked, Is usually continuous from the Ist to the 25th of July.

An English View of the Chinese EN-
 cluSiOn Bill.

News has just been received by tele-
 graph that the President of the United States has gwen his consent Go the ChI-
 nese Exclusion bill, by which the in
 migration of Chinese laborers into Call-
 fOrnia IS suspended for a period of | twenty years, and that thereupon the ' Chinese Minister at Washington has | hauled down hls flag + the latter : statement Is correct, of which there is some doubt, it certainly has gwen his ! countrymen here very little concern. America and China are, perhaps, tle tyl countries where the greatest cJl5rast
 exists as tO the rights of the working class, and they are not likely Co lUlrrel over a matter of this kind. i- is not
 very many years ago since 1t was a penal
 matter for a private individual to leave
 the country at all, and though many changes have happened since then, the feeling or the governing classes Las ai- tered very little in regard Co the CTll- -ratiOn of labor. By the treaty con cluded in November, 1881, China agreed that the United States Government might impose any reasonable limitation
 apOn the immigration of Chinese labor CTS. but was not to prohibit it altogether. The Exclusion bill, if passed sn iss orig nal form, certainly takes a very sweep ing advantage Of thls permission. If no fresh immigrants sse atmitted Tor twenty years, few will be left in the country by the end Of that tune, SO that it IS pretty nearly equivalent to au en- tire prohibition. But 1t is not likely tE. Chinese Government wlll make any serious protest, and, even if they yer, inclined tO, it k difficult tO see what they could do, unless, as has been i0cu- larly suggested, they should retaliate by dismissing all Americans in the Gus toms service. The poor labOrcr in the southern pr0yinces will be cut of from one means Ot acquiring little coupe- tency; but many changes will have to come over the face of the Chinese Con stitution before their rights will have any influence on the cuunsels the na- tlon. Looking at it from this side, one would be inclined Go say that the great est losers VIII be the CalitOnians them selves. The first effect ofthe act will be to give the Chinese already there a sort Of monopoly, and, like all lOuOpolists. they will soon learn they can raise prIces. Therefore. every ones washing bill, shoemaker's bill, tail0r's bill, and so OF, will become ssmuch heavier. T. is not improbable that tie working classes themselves, ia whose interest the bill has been drawn, will find that they are as much losers as gamers by the change, and that in a few years tho old state of things will be reverted to

Three Sisters Become Mothers on the
 Same Day. and Each has Twins.

The Assyrian Monarch of the Non- arch line arrived Monday afternoon with full complement of Russian reiu- gee Jewish passengers. Among these were three married women. sisters, named Ruth Jacobsky, Lena itskok, and Miriam Levinsky, who, with their nus bands left Odessa last winter. h Rus sIa they had been married on the same day fifteen months ago. IheE belong to the middle class.
 The husbands of these women are tailors by trade. Two weeks since the tailOrs with their wives and cO-religion- ists were sent on board the Assyrian Monarch for New York. On Sunday morning, the lst inst, Lena ItskOk, who ls a very prepOssessIng Jewess about = years old, became mother of two fine, healthy girls. Her two sisters were n the act of congratUlating the newly.made mamma, when they them selves found that they were ID want oi the doctors services. At o'clock in the afternoon Ruth JacObsky. who IS 21 and a good looking blonde, had done as well as her other sister, and had ar that moment presented her fortunate husband with two boys. At 9 O clock l- night two more girls made thCir appear auce on board The boat, and lliri.a Le- yiuski, the youngest sister aged l., was receiving tbe felicitalions oi her nus band and brOtber-in-lav. On Friday the two boys were initiated into ono of the mysteries oi Judaism. At tle Ci-- cumcisiun they were both named l-aar. which means II should smile. Iue girls have not yet been named, but each of the children received a present from the captain of the steamer, who declares that, although he has carried many thous; nds of passengers in his day, he has never seen such remarkable trio as the three Russian JewCssts who vied with each other in their presents to their heEe lords and masters.

A YOUNG SEA SERPENT.

] AElfFl1f AAEulAlAt-
 | It is but a few years since Mr. Robert ! Young, one of our most worthy and re
 spected citizens, caught a glimpse of an aquatic monster in Chats lake, neal
 Arnprior, Canada, which he describes as l being of enormous ,ize and proportions 1 Captain Brown, of the steamer Alliance also got a view of one of these monsters
 in the same waters the summer before last, and various other people clam -C have seen large specimens ar different
 times and at divers places. But tlls
 week we are in a position to announce the capture of what is probably ono O. the progeny of the real OrgUal Gll Chats lake serpent, which has often struck terror to the hearts of the super stitiOus river men. While coming down the Snow rapids with a tow last Monday morning, and while of E.aci,wols island. the crew of the Levi Cuu- u1- ticed a huge serpent swimming ahead oi the boat. 1ir. J. C. Duncan, chief lu- gineer, and a deck hand named ShJv, jumped into a boat and started in pur- suit of the reptile. They succeeded in getting within striking distance Ci the serpent, when Mir. DuEcan struck 1t @ bAoh oN CT tue nEttA MAAl AA~ lisaLs .A nc beast then turned and made for tie oc- cupants of the boat, literally churnlng the water with his tail in his fury. An other powerful and well directed blow with an oar on the neck of the serpent laid it out dead, when it was taken n tow and brcugh. aboard the steamer. The crew of the boat stretched it out on the rail and measured it with a rule. Its total length Was eleven feet. while Che body wGs thirteen inches in circ1mie-- ence. Its jaws were prIed open and pair of compasses inserted, which were opened ont to a distance of six inches. The description given of this reptile is the same as that given by Mr. Young and Captain Brown, so that 1t is possi- ble that the one just killed is liueal descendant of the old king snake who has sported himself in Chats lake for wears past

TIE lamentable ignorance ot some California editors on Arizona affairs i, decidedly refreshing. A leading paper in San Francisco locates the Total Wreck mine in Tombstone. Tombstone is well enough supplied with rich mines without being credited with the Total Wreck. This famous bonauza, famous Tor its wealth in sight, is situated in the Empire district, in Pima county, and is destined to restore to this county the prestige as a mining region We lost when the Tombstone district was taken from us by the establishment of Cochise county. The Total Wreck is surrounded by a town bearing its own missioner. winch the satisfactory development of a number of mines will make mining camp that will prove no mean rival in size or importance to Tombstone.

THE proposition to allow the Presi- dent the power to veto portions of an appropuatioD bill, without killing the entire bill, IS again being discussed. As fl now stands the President has to either approve or disapprove or the whole bill. He has to be governed by what seems to him to be the greatest public good. It IS question whether the good features of a bill exceed the bad features that be passes upon. Shrewd advocates of ques- tionable schemes avail themselves of thls to tack on an important bill objec- tionabie features, hoping that 1t win ride through upon the merits or the other portion regardless of its own dsmerits. The legislation of the coun- try is greatly injured thereby. In many States this modification of the veto power has been made and the results are satisfactory. Congress should cer- tainly enact such law and do away with this easy method or jobbing and mislegislation.

The New York Tribune's Denver spe- cial gives some additional and interest ing features of the exposition, among which are the following:
 Second in importance to the mineral display at this exposition Is the exhibit of mining machinery, and here IS indi- cated another want. Inventors are called upon for a process which shall make the inning of lOw-grade ores pro- titable. Before present smelling pro- cesses were introduced, less than forty per cent. of the assay value of ores was saved, but even now there are millions of tons of low-grade ores awaiting a new form of treatment that shall be econOmi- cal enough to make their working pro- titable, and the smelling process that will extract % per cent. of their assay value vlll effect a revolution in mining. There is q demand here, greater than is realized, for new methods of reducing. smelting and amalgamating ores, and improved machinery for excayating, drilling, pumping, lighting and ventiiat- ing drifts and wInZes.
 Third in importance is the aEricultu- raj display, which shows that the old theory of au American desert beyond the Tooth meridian has become a myth; that cereals can be raised in the valleys of Colorado and New Mexico: that even the higher plains ot Colorado and west ern Kansas have been in part conquered through irrigation, and at the worst are the feeding places Of tens of thossaEIs of fat sheep and cattle; and that the splendid fruit orchards and rich farms m the lower valleys of New Mexico yield an abundant return t0 the husbandmGn, while the shepherd gains his reward on the upper plains.
