The FIoo ting Population Of u Chinese CITY

The FIo0 ting Population OF Chinese City
Correspondence Troy Times.
As we approach Canton, one of the
strangest sights of this strange land is the
vast wilderness of boats which serve as the
only homes of floating population of
more than 100000 human beings. As our
steamer made its way slowly through the
city of boats to her wharf, it seemed as if
half of Canton was afoat on the water.
All around US we're acres on acres, yea,
square miles, of junks, moored in blocks
and squares, with long streets or canals
between them, while darting hither and
thither hundreds on hundreds of others,
carrying passengers or freight. These
boats are of various sizes and shapes, and
are partly covered with bamboo mating,
the one or two apartments furnishing space
for parlor, kitchen, dining room, bed room,
wood shed, barn. and idol-shrine. There
multitudes on multitudes of men and
women. parents and children, grandparents
and babies find home, each boat often
sheltering more souls than Noah had in his
ark. There thousands are born, grow up,
grow old and die, seldom being on land
until carried there for burial. Many of
these boats are manned by woman and
girls. whose large bare, unbound feet prove
that they are not Chinese ladies' and yet
they have learned to paddle their own
canoe" Babies are fastened to the deck
by strings, and other children wear life
preservers of gourds or bamboo to keep
them from sinking if they fail overheard,
though ths parents don't seem to grieve
mueh if one does get drowned. There are
larger and more gaily decorated junks
dalled "fower boats" used as floating
pleasure houses Of no good reputation. A
few years ago typhoon swapped thou
sands of these small craft, and hundreds
OF the inmates were drowned.

ATTY. Gen. Brewster went to the capitol
to-day, accompanied by one Of his special
agents as an escort. The docrkeeper re-
fused admittance to the escort, and this
angered Brewster, who rushed in upon the
floor and appealed to Kellogg and ingalls,.
They told him it was impossible for the
privilege of the floor to be granted to his
escort. Brewster then walked around the
chamber in an exuberant fashion, causing
much amusement in the gallery. From
the senate Brewster went to the house, and
made himself even more ridiculous. He
embraced Sam Barr, Pennsylvania stall
wart, with the ardor of lover, and attract
ed much attention by his queer move
ments.

with great hardships. They are between
two fires. 90 the one side Unsuitable dis
esse moves up TO attack and destroy. while
ahead OF them are the flame aud fare Of
medicinal hubuggery, quackery, and ex-

It IL piece Of gross injustice TO deceive

was never sold upon the strength OF

thousands Of testimonials received from
those whom II has benefited are its sole
recommendations.
For sore throat, colds, asthma and ca
tarrh, Thomas's Electric Oil Is no mistake
the best known remedy In the world. "A

with one bottle OF Tbomas's Electric oil
a neighbor was cured of sore throat OF

HErTY MARVIN.

When the British and Tories attacked
New London, Conn, in IL, and set a
price on the head Of Gov. Griswold, the
latter fled to the town of l. where his
cousin, Mrs. Marvin. hid him for some
DAYS in d secluded farm m-house. But at
last the subtle foe discovered his retreat,
and one sunny afternoon In May he WAS
routed from his hiding place by the It'd
inys that a band Of horsemen were ap-
preaching to capture him.
HIS only chance Of escape was to reach
the mouth Of little creek which emptled
itself into the Connecticut River, just
above the entrance of the latter into
Long Island Sound. There he had a
boat stationed, with two faithful attend
ants, hidden beneath the high banks OF
the creek. The distance from the farm
house to the boat was two miles ny the
usual travelled road. But little path
running across the farmers orchards
would bring him to road only mile
from the boat, and save quarter 5
length of his fearful run for life.
Just as the narrow path from the or
chard opened into the road, hetty Mar
vim sat with her dog Towser, tending
the bleaching of the family linen.
The roll of linen was taken by the
farmer or his "stout help" to grassy
plat beside spring or meadow brook.
There it was thoroughly wetted and
spread out upon the green turf. to take
the best heat of the sun by day and the
dew by night. The little maiden who
tended it would sit near it.
Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the young
daughter of Gov. Griswold's cousin, when
her hunted friend sprang past her into
the road to escape from the Pursuers.
Hetty was a timid child Of about II,
vet thoughtful and wise beyond any of
her elders. She was frightened by the
beadlong haste with which the Governor
rushed across the meadow. But she
quickly comprehended the scene. and
Instantly qdieted her faithful Towser,
who, though friend to the family guests,
thought it becoming to bark loudly at
his hurried footsteps.
Her wise forethought arrested the
Governors notice, and suggested a
scheme to delude his pursuers. "Hetty,
he said, earnestly, 81 am flying for my
life; (; and, unless reacn my boat before
am overtaken, am dead man. But
YOU must tell those who are chasing me
that have gone up to catch the mail
wagon, which will soon come along, you
know. Then they will turn off the other
way"
20, cousin !" said the girl in an agony
of distress, 81 cannot tell lie, indeed ]
cannot tell lie. Why did you tell me
which way you were going:"
"Hetty, dear child, you certainly
would not betray me to my death ! Hark
they are coming! hear the click of thei'
horses feet. o, Hetty, tell them | have
gone up the road instead Of down, and
heaven will bless you"
"Heaven never blesses those who

kill me. So iun as quickly as possible.

gambler who had sought to personate the
lost heir OF the Harcourt estate. So vel
had he succeeded that when Alpor, began
to make trouble for him he determined
to get rid Of AIport and his proof at one
blow. Dressed in his wifcs clothes, he
had visited Alport in his office and killed
him, then stolen the desired papers. The
torn glove he had doubtless found in the
pocket Of his wifes dress, and used 10
wipe some slight stain off from his hands,
and then carelessly dropped it in the
waste basket. The papers he had taken
home, and af,erward carried away TO
