THE "SHrT Ol'T' Of the QuickstepS
in their game Oh Saturday with the
Trenton club, Is one Of the hings in
base ball playing that can hardly be &C
counted for, bus it is no less strange
than the game on Thursday, when they
made twenty-sevcn runs and the Ac
iives only seven. After all, Saturday s
defeat TO the QuickSteps was nothing
like so bad as the Actvr4 defeat on
Thursday, though the latter were al.
lowed to score. saturday was simply
an off day with the Quicksteps, and the
Trentons, admoniShed by the unusual
run of luck that attended the Quick
steps last week had their best nine in
the field and were in their best playing
hnmor. Chronic grumbers will ind
fault with the home team, not that they
made no runs exactly, but because they
did not win the game, a club cannot
be expected TO win all the time, but it
must meet at times with very humiliat-
ing disaster. The defeat Of The Quick
steps on saturday we have no doubt
will nerve them for the contest this
week, when those who are now doing
the most growing will then have a
chance Of going to the other extreme.

THE orHER swInpLER.

There were six or eight OF us in the
smoking car as the train was running
down to West Point from Atlanta,
and everything was lovely until the
seventh man got on at small sta
ton. He had no sooner entered the
car than he looked fixedly at the
man who had been telling as snake
stories, and directly he walked up to
him and called out:
"Ha! you internal swindler, I've
found you at lastp'

It was presently discovered that he
recognized the snake-story man az q
fruit-tree agent who had sold him
some grapevines which did not show
up, and he was splitting on his hands
and making ready to do the pound
ing when the other remarked:
"My dear fellow, J. insist upon it
that you are mistaken. I was never
in the fruit-tree business, and l never
swindled you out Of $18.
II say you did,"
"Never! Instead of swindling you
of $18 on grapevines, am the man
who charged you SIG to much for a
sewing-maching, and here's your
money!

closely at you.) Z believe you're right,
said the seventh man.
"Of course I'm right" growled the
other, as he counted out the money,

from the water. I said: "My friend,

what I knew about diving. I an

THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.

It was thought that the restriction
of immigration would have speedy
effect on the Chinese colony in this
city, but thus far no change has been
noticeable. In fact, there seem to be
more Chinese in the streets than
when every Oriental steamship
brought from 500 to 800 coolies.
Doubtless one reason for this is the
increased demand for Chinese labor
caused by the death of good house
hold servants and the rapid growth
of small manufactures. This is
probably the worst city in the coun-
try fer housekeeping. Service is
poor and dear, the average raw Irish
girl, freshly imported, demanding
$25 a month and refusing to work
until she gets her price. On the
other hand is the Chinese, who, when
he finds that he has made himself
indispensable to a household, is as
arbitrary and domineering as he was
formerly servile. John also is an
accomplished thief, in spite Of the
efforts of the missionary societies
he has genius for that petty larceny
which is scarcely apparent. except at
the end of the month or the quarter,
and which is SO difficult to detect
without constant espionage. There
is no economy in hiring Chinese. as
they ask fully as much as white ser
wants.
The tendency of the Chinese when
they once enter any trade or manu-
facture is to monopolize it. More
than ten years ago they secured con
troll of the pork trade, and now every
pound of fresh pork sold in this city
passes through their hands, and they
frequently impose heavy fines on hog
growers who attempt to sell stock
direct to white butchers. In the
same way they have got a practical
monopoly Of washing throughout the
State, while in this city they have
now control of the manufacture OF
cigars, and are rapidly gaining con-
troll of the manufacture of boots and
shoes, brooms, underwear, jumpers
and overalls. This may seem 10
represent small part of the manu-
factures of city. 1t would at the
East, but here it is entirely different.
1t is no exaggeration to say that one
half the manufacturing in this city
to-day is done by Chinese working
for Chinese firms. The cigar dealers
make brave show of placards, None
bu; white labor employed" but the
fact is that no cigar sold here, unless
a genuine Havana or Manila che
root, is above the suspicion of having
been manipulated by Chinese hands.

TALES OF TEwKsBuRY.

The sixteenth hearing in the
Tewksbury investigation opened with
the usual large attendance. Chris
tian Muller was recalled and identi-
fed the human skins he tanned,
which were in various shapes, some
of it being cut into shoe patterns;
some of it was tanned within five or
six months. The chairman asked the
Governor if he could show that it
came from Tewksbury. The Cover
said he could show that it came from
the Harvard Medical School, and that
it was supplied from Tewksbury.
Fuller said he did not tan the skins
for money, but to accommodate others
and to see what he could do; he had
tanned a white and negro skin. The
Governor said, in answer to Mr..
Brown, that he had not found out
before that this industry of tanning
human skins was being carried on.
and that he' proposed to put stop to
it; witness said the skins came to
him as any other skins, and were
treated in the same manner; he did
not know where they came from;
tanned the skins because he heard the
parties wanted it done as a curiosity;
sent one piece of skin, after being
tanned, to Mr. Donaldson, a shoe
maker on Washington street, a friend
of his, who keeps a gentleman's shoe
store; has not seen the skin since ex-
cept in the latter's drawer; witness
kept part of the skin as pay for tan
ming.
On cross-examination the witness
said he could not distinguish between
the white and black skins after they
had been tanned.
Mitchell Wing, an employe at Ed
wards & Brackets patent leather
store in Boston. testified that Robert
France brought some human skins.

ness gave him Mr.. Muller's name, as

pay Muller; witness made no use OF

and one black; he holds, at his home

CHECK FOR OVER TWO MILLIONS.
In April, 1881. Jay Gould, Russell
Sage, Gen. Dodge and other New
Yorkers arrived in Philadelphia to
attend a meeting of the directors, at
the Office of the company, which, it
was supposed, would transact merely
routine business. The meeting was
TO take place at IL o'clock A. NJ. and
Mr.. Gould and Mr. Sage came into
Mr.. Scott's private Office in the Penn
sylvania Railroad building for the
purpose of having preliminary talk
on the future policy of the road,
there being some points of difference
between Messrs. Gould and Scott.
During the conversation, the differ
ence, which was amicable, rather
widened, and finally Col. Scott said
positively he could not agree to Mr..
Gould's policy, and that he would
rather sell out.
"What will you sell fori" asked
Mr.. Gould.
Col. Scott promptly named his
figure, and Jay Gould wrote his
check for $2,4OO,OOO, aud became the
possessor OF the control of the Texas
and Pacific Railroad Company.
The gentlemen then went into the
room where the other directors were
assembled, and the resignation of
Col. Scott was rendered. This was
the first notice to them that the sale
had taken place. The whole trans
action did not occupy one hour, and
neither gentleman had any previous
idea that the sale would occur. The
incident is forcible illustration of
the aptitude of Mr.. Gould and Col.
Scott for promptly arranging weighty
affairs of business. There was never
time when Col. SCOTS mind was
clearer than on this famous day,
though he was physically very weak
from the disease which ended his lifo
