THE DEvIL.-Not the typical old fell
low himself, but his namesake, the print
er's devil. Did you ever meet him? He
runs the cylinder press lin his mind
but sweeps the floor at his leisure. Sets
all the jobs in the office but carries bun
dies TO fill up time. We all know bin;
nearly all OF us have been there our
selves And having scourged the town
in search of the nonpareil shooting-stick
or the German roller have concluded to
do as the old woman did with her virtue,
give it up as an undesirable article; or
have in time settled down into q full
fiedged printer. Hailing sometimes from
the country, and sometimes from the
city, he is generally as mild as a lamb
for about three weeks and after that even
the old boy himself would find it diff.
cult to out general him at his own games,
With the exception of the latent but
ever powerful craze to perpetuate the
practical jokes played on him on the
next conner. his principal and generally
most successful occupation is desper-
ate effort to kill time. The ingenuity
expended in this direction would build
railroad or stop Chinese immigration.

Chinese "wives"

The North China Herald has the fol-
lowing:
An Australian Chinaman, when anxi-
GUS for q wife of his own nation, sends a
letter to an agent in Hong Kong. The
following is a condensed translation of
the espistle:
at want wife. She must be maiden
under twenty years of age, and must not
have left her fathers house. She must
have never read book, and her eye.
lashcs must be half an inch in length.
Her teeth must be as sparkling as the
pearls of Ceylon. Her breath must be
like unto the scents of the magnificent
odor groves of Java, and her attire must
be from the silken weavers of the Ka Lii
Ching, which are on the banks of the
greatest river in the world--the over
flowing Yanktse Kiang."
The price of a Chinese woman delivered
in Sidney is $38, but two Chinese women
only cost $50, therefore, the heather
Chinese import women in couples. The
importer never sees his women before
they arrive, and then he generally selects
the best looking one. The other is
shown around to number of well-to-do
Cinnamon, and after they have inspected
her, she is submitted to what may be
called public auction. At a recent sale
at Sidney young girl aged about nine
teen was offered, and after some spirited
bidding, she was purchased by wealthy
Chinese store-keeper, whose place OF
business is in one of the leading towns
Of New South Wales, for $12O. The
melancholy aspect of the Celestial girl,
as she went away in company with the
man who purchased her, was deplorable
to the last degree.

REPORTS have it that Arthur VIII soon
lead to the altar Mrs Craig 'Wadszorth, of
Washington City. A W2shin gt on letter says
of the lady: "She married the wealthy son
of the late Ge2eEzl Wa6szvorth, OF New
York, who died Few years since, leaving
her the mother Of two children, with a
large fortune She keeps house on Nsssa-
chusetts avenue, and has been the mcst
noticed woman in society during the past
season She is tall, graceful, e brunette, and
the owner OF a magnificent set of dis .monds
while her dresses are made IN Pa ris, but
entire R0U<, she is a Bourbon Dem, ,erat''
Mr.. Arthur is anxious for the nuptial cere-
monies rightaway, but il is understood that
his Cabinet advises postpenement until after
Guiteau is hung, or his ease is otherwise
disposed OF. To have the wedding take
place while the assassin is alive and kicking
would be certain to have mingled with the
reports OF the event the declaration of the
murderer of Garfield: II made Arthur
President to harmonic the Republican
party"

The very general discussion Of the Alueri
can pork question in Europe, though for a
time productive Of no little Inconvenience
and loss to American pork packers, is likely
IL the end to be Of positive and permanent
benefit. The fact has been brought out that
triehiaa spiralis is not more prevalent in the
United States than in Europe, and that as a
consequence, its spread can not be prevented
by legislative interference. Germany and
France have employed the most dis
tinglIished microscopes, medical men and
veterinary inspectors, and they re-
port that the disease is common through
out Europe, and therefore one that
no Prohibitory measure can exclude Their
observations extend to France, Germany,
Austria, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Spain,
Italy and European Turkey, and the fact is
ascertai rGd that trichina spiralis is not im-
ported, but that it IS of indigenous origin

AiExHUR's Attorney General, Brewster, is
putting on more style than a dozen Beau
BruRmels, and is succeeding admirably in
making his Department of Justice a thing
for filings and jeers. Guiteau's bullet and
the lottery of assassination, with all of the
blood and pus. splits and spoils, mirth and
mourning that followed ia their wake, have
produced nothing that creates so much gen.
erxl nausea as the eccentric antics of
Bsegster. An ex-senator recently remarked
that 50 visit him at his Office sis as good as

used to be there and put a table in the

covered with Persian rugs; and there

cence of Grand Vizier, his shirt bosom full

vest of velvet. and his trousers of white

one of the signs q the times which is lust
now attracting the attention of thoughtful
people is the growing dissatisfaction of the
cesored voters with the Republican party.
We have always believed that the moment
the coloced voter could comprehend even a
small per cent. of the determinations of the
Republican party he would cWt himself
adrift from it That time has arrived, and
intelligent ccIored people are speaking with
special emphasis. The Washington organ of
the colored voter does not hesitate to say
that the Republican party, in its treatment
OF colored geople, has pracSced all the arts of
hypocrisy 1t has secured the votes of the
eolored peOple-and it is only in Louisiana
where pledges have been fairly fulfilled, and
in that tate only because the colered peo-
pie had Senator who was aggressive, with
some other leaders who would not be turn
ed away with pledges. But the Washing
ton organ wants to know if there are no in
elligent colored people in other States, and
refers particularly to the North,
where the Republican party draws
the color line, which IN all matters
OF patronage is deathline to the colored
man. Such facts have created deep and
widespread dissatisfaction among the colored
people, and in thousands OF instances they
refuse longer to be fooled. They see that
from the first they have been treated as vot-
ing chattles by the Republican bosses
cheated, wheedled and ignored; that the
professions of the Republican leaders are
false, and as a consequence they have re-
solved to abandon the party.

Some people are simple enough to sup

form native pork. 1t has been found that in
some OF the large European cities rats are
subject to trichinous infection, and that
these household pests have no doubt been
among the principal agents in the spread of
trichinous parasites from one country to
another Such being the case American
pork will not likely be again subjected to
inconvenience born of ignorance and
prejudice. 1t must not be forgotten, how
ever, that the thrieAna disease exists, and
that theoaiy certain preventive is to eat
