A Mistake Was Made.

A young lady gave "her young man.
a beautifully worked pair of slippers, and
he acknowledged the present by sending
her his picture, encased in a handsome
frame. He wrote a note to send with it,
and at the same time replied angrily to
an oft-repeated dun for an unpaid-for
suit of clothes He gave q boy ten
cents to deliver the package and notes,
giving explicit directions as to the destin-
alton of each.
1t was boy with freckled face, and
he discharged his errand in manner
that should give him a niche in the
temple of fame. -
The young lady received note in her
adored ones handwriting, and flew to
her room to devour its contents She
opened the missive with eager fingers,
and read:
Pm getting tired of your everlasting
attentions. The suit is about worn out
already. 1t never amounted to much,
any way. Please go to thunderr'
And the tailor was struck utterly
dumb when he opened a parcel and dis
covered the picture of his delinquent
customer, with q note that said:
when you gaze upon the features,
think how much owe you.n
When the unfortunate younp man
called around that evening to receive the
happy acknowledgment of his sweet
heart, he was very ostentatiously showed
oH the steps by the young lady's father.

Chinese Immigration.

According to the official estimate Of
the Chinese Consul the number OF
Chinese immigrants to California this
year has been comparatively small.
Consul Bee estimates the total Of ar
rivals at 1857. During the same pc
riod S,17S Chinese returned to Asia,
leaving a balance in favor of their colony
here of $3.50. OF this lumber many
were old residents returning from visit
to their relatives in China. The ma
jority of the new arrivals were laborers,
who had been hired to work on the
Southern Pacific aad Oregon Railroads.
Latterly there has been an active de-
maud on the Pacific coast for Chinese
labor, and there are three agents in
Hong Kong and Canton purchasing Ia
borers and shipping them here. Every
ship, 50 far, has brought q consignment,
and 400 are due by the next steamer.
Contracts can be readily made for
Chinese laborors at S1.50 day, where
as two years ago that class of workmen
could be had for 80 cents day, without
board. Owing TO the high rate of wages
ruling here there has been no emigration
of Chinese to the Eastern States, where
the demand for cheap skilled labor has
several times been increased by strikes
among cigar-makers and others. A
large number of Chinese have sailed
from this port to Honolulu, but the emf.
grafton in that direction Is accounted
for by the refusal of the authorities at
Hong Kong to clear ships for Honolulu.
There are no Chinese Government stu
dents in this country at present An
Chinese students who were in American
colleges have been recalled and appor-
toned to the civil service of their own
country. The Chinese authorities APP
pear to be satisfied with the experiment
of sending their young men abroad to
learn the Languages and arts of the white
races, for the system viii soon be am
plifed, and another delegation of stu
dents dispatched to the universities and
factories of this country and Europe.
The efforts of the Chinese to extend
their commerce have not been very nu-
merous or successful this year. The
steamer Ho Chung, which visited this
port and created somewhat of sensa-
ton, never returned to alarm the public
by suggestions Of an invasion of Chinese
steamers. The Ho Chung Is now In
English waters, having been freightsd
with merchandise for some bazars
which her agents proposed to open In

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1882-02-01

The Country papers of Northern Ohio
and the Wellington ENTERPRIsE among
the first, and frequently, have faithfully
warned the farmers against those brazen
swindlers operating the Bohemian oat
Association. The newspaper is in con-
slant daily or weekly communication with
all the other papers published in terri
tory far beyond that heard from by its av-
erage reader, and in that respect is in a
position to know what is going on and lets
its readers have the benefit of others ex-
perience. Editors usually have no person
al interest in the price of fancy oats, but
they hate to see men investing hard earn
ings in bubbles that are certain to burst
The farmers of Ohio could not learn by
the experience of those of Iowa, nor the
farmers of Lorain and Medina from the
dearly bought knowledge Of the yeomen of
of Summit and Cuyahoga. When the
itinerant Bohemian came around they
eagerly. swallowed his prescription for
making oats bring fabulous prices, and
from Medina county and from our own
come reports of those who are getting very
sick of their speculation. Geo. II. Church
Hill, one of the managers of the Associa-
ton in this county, lately took pair of
horses belonging TO his wife on which c.
E. Warner, of Elyria, had claim for board
and with Mr.. Warmers harnesses, went to
Wadsworth, Medina County, left orders
for the team to be sold and then quietly
stole away, with from two to seven thou
sand dollars belonging TO the association.
Mr.. Warner recovered his property and
his claim, but there is sorrow among the
believers in Bohemian Oats.
