pillage the boat. In vain 1 expressed some
skepticism on this point; the boatmen
were positive, and in the end, as either of
the probabilities they pictured would have
seriously incommoded me, concluded to let
them have their way. Accordingly, we
moored the craft nearer to the gates of the
city, close to a police watch-house. 1t was
then that the captain" of the boat asked
leave for a few hours. He belonged, he said,
to a secret society and could find out how

went to return at midnight, with several
companions all of whom slept in the front
of the boat till the morning, and then de-
parted. | afterward learned that they had
come at his request to watch for any strag-
giers from the camp who might chance to
turn up. A very little inquiry showed me
that this story of the secret society
influence was no myth, but that
referred was very real and powerful organ
ization. An incident which afterward came
under my notice in a neghboring country to
China confirmed this The proprietor-a
Frenchman, curiously enough-of a saw-mill
thought fit to kick one of the celestials in
his employ before the rest of the workmen.
An hour later the nfill-bell rang for the mid
day meal. Out fled the five hundred China
men or 50 who had been at work, all as well
pleased and apparently as well satisfied as
though they had been attending tuherali
but when the bell rang for the resumption
of work, not one of the almond-eyed ones
returned. The proprietor fumed and fretted,
but to no purpose No Chinaman was In
sight. AT last it struck the Frenchman that
something might be wrong and short ex-
animation showed him that all his saws and
bands had been broken, and that a notice
from the Chinese secret society had been
posted on his mill door, warning all Cinnamon
off. Things were beginning to look serious,
nor did they mend when he went home, for
there lay a letter telling him that the secret
society intended to punish him with death

A Minister Who Admires Irving.

Amerlcan heBlslef,
The United Presbyterans of auld Scot
land are loud in their wall because of the
iniquity of one of their tried pastors, the
Rev Dr. Kay. The reverend gentleman, a
divine of great weight and soundness, has
not done anything so very heinous in the
eyes of the law, or indeed, in the eyes of
anybody, for the head and front of his offend
ing is merely his going to see Henry Irving
and Miss Ellen Terry play in Hamlet"
and to subsequently publish a favorable ac-
count of it in a local paper. He told his
congregation that one was superb" and the
other divine" La short, from what DR..
Kay said, it was one of the happiest days of
his life. His brother divines are up in arms
against this dangerous innovation, and the
erring presbyter will most assuredly receive
a visit from committee of remonstrance."

DR.. Felix Oswald in Popular Science Monthly.
There is indeed, no doubt that the snuff
ling, whining saints, who groaned in spirit at
the sight of Jack in the Green" have driven
as many pleasure seekers from the play
ground to the pot-house, as despotism has
turned freemen into outlaws and robbers,
for the practical alternative is not between
conventicles and rum riots, but between
healthful and baneful pastimes. Before we
can begin to eradicate the poison habit we
must make reform more attractive than vice,
and, as long as the champions of temperance
shut their eyes to the significance of that
truth, their legislative enactments will al
ways remain dead-letter laws. Our worst de-
fects we owe. in fact, less to the shrewdness
of our beer-brewing opponents than to the
foot races and good music would do more to
promote the cause of temperance than a
whole army of Hudibras revivalists.

An Upfortunate Mexican Town.

GUAYAMAs, Mexico, Oct. 1s.-Advices from
Altata report that the population of the
town is decimated by yellow fever, the
deaths averaging twenty day for the last
two weeks. On the 3rd of October Altata
was struck by hurricane killing several
people and destroying the greater part of the
town. The inhabitants sought refuge in the
mountains. Several miles Of the Smolloa &
Durango railroad track are torn up, and the
bridge at Gurarcites blown down. The de-
pot and machine sheds are the only build
ings left standing. The private loss is esti-
mated at $50, 900. What with fever and bur
ricane the devastation is something terrible.
Customs officials say the collector of the port
of Aitata is among those killed by the hurri-
cane,

he worked around for awhile, claiming that
his wife, the mother of the two children he
had with him, was dead. This, he now says,
is not true as she lives in Arkansas. After a
time, on Jan. %, 1867, he married woman

A stone in the graveyard adjoining the old
Concord school-house, above Washington
lane, Germantown, bears this inscription:
I'm memory of Adam Shisler who departed
this life December the 22d, 1777, aged 969
years" 1t is easier to read the inscription
than to believe that Mr. Shisler lived to the
age ascrlbed to him. An explanation of the
curious affair is that the stonecutter made a
mistake in marking the stone giving the
mans age as ninety-sx instead of sixty-nine,
which it really was. To correct this the "9'
was filled with cement and another figure
cut after the IS" But time and frost loos-
ened the cement, and now the once obliter-
ated figure tells curious tale and appears
as distinct as the others.

Determining the Authorship of the Civil
Rights Law Recently Overruled.
Washington Special.
Professor Langston claims that he drafted,
at the request of Charles Sumner, the civil
rights bill which has just been declared un-
constitutional by the Supreme Court, but
the bill, extravaganza as it was, possessed
scarcely 1.-THE of the grotesque absurdity
of the measure presented by Mr.. Sumner
That bill was introduced on Dec. l, 1873, and
was absolutely laughed out of court. Sem
ator Edmunds told Mr.. Sumner that the Su-
preme Court would throw it out on the in
stant and Senator Morrill,, of Maine, in
formed him that the United States Senate
would not touch it at long range. 1t was
referred to the judiciary committee, placed
in charge of Senator Frelinghuysen, and,
after four months of incubation, an entire
substitute tor the bill was reported by him.
This substitute, although very much
modified from the original bill, under
took to include cemeteries in its applica-
ton. The BILL even as modified. was
fiercely attacked, and Mr. Frelinghuysen
again and again strove yainly to deny that it
touched the question of social equality.
After many days of debate the bill was
finally passed and sent TO the House, with
nearly if not quite one-haf of the Republic
an senators absent when the vote was taken.
When the bill reached the House General
B. F, Butler who was then chairman of the
judiciary committee of that body, moved that
it be referred to his committee, and stated
quite positively that it would not be reported
back. So the bill which Charles Sumner
first introduced and Frelinghuysen recast
was smothered to death by B. F. Butler. He
afterward reported from the House judiciary
committee eivil-rights bill, which he had
drafted himself. The House passed the bill,
sent it to the Senate, where it was adopted
by that body; and this is the measure which
the Supreme Court yesterday declared out
side the pale of the constitution. Benjamin
F. Butler is, therefore, the father of the de-
funct measure, and to him belongs all the
credit or the blame. as the case may be.
Doubtless he had this very bill in his mind

troll the colored vote of the country.
