A Disappointed sTougoI

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The first case of the kind under the new law regulating the entrance of Chinese to American ports, is 3 Chinaman
 who came down from Victoria On the last steamer. The law provides that Chinamen who left this country between the signing of the treaty and the passage of the Restriction Act, could return upon simply iden- tifying themselves on arriving at an American port. The Chinaman in question attempted to show that he has been here before, but upon being asked when he left San Francisco, he replied in 1880, which places his departure some months prior to the signing of the treaty. He will be sent back to Victoria.

 Secretary Teller Explains. WAsHINGToN, July 10.-.The ori- ginal plan agreed upon last Satur- day for the safe keeping of the Apache captives appears to have been generally misunderstood. It was not the proposition to place the police control of the San Carlos re- servation in the hands of the war department, was made by Secretary Teller, nor by the Secretary of War. In conversation today Secretary Teller said there was no occasion for the rcport, that if the arrange ment agreed t1pon proves successful, the control of sll the Indian agencies will eventually be transferred to the war department He denies any such course as contemplated. He says the principal occasion for placing Crooks csptives under the supervision of the war department. is because that the department has money to keep them while the de- partment of the Interior has none. The San Carlos agency, the Secre- tary says, win be maintained as heretofore, except. the military will have entire charge of police senti- nels.

Not a Pleasant Voyage.

The Australian papers give accounts of voyage across the Pacific from San Francisco to that country by MT. Gilfoy, an American, alone, in 8 small boat. He undertook this remarkable journey for the pleasure of the thing. His long voyage had diverse experiences. Sharks annoyed him most of all, dozens of them following in his wake, eying him askance with their bright eyes and often ap- preaching so close upon him that he was obliged to fight them with his boat hook. Sleep became impossible from this cause, and an expedient was hit upon by the lonely mariner. The ingenious stratagem of making an efigy of portions of his clothes hung on the boat hook kept the sharks at a distance. This ruse allowed Gilfoy to take some rest. During gale his boat was upset and he was thrown into the sea with all his equipments. He managed however to right the boat and save few of his provisions. A sword fish next attacked him, causing his boat to leak badly, when he was still fourteen hundred miles from his desired haven. Without rudder or food he managed tc exist upon sea birds that gladly found rest for their weary wings by alightine on the boat. In pitiable condition he was picked up by schooner and landed | at Marlborough.

A Token of Love From Virginia.

A greasy-looking package, six inches long by four wide, attracted the atten- ton of the Post Office officials, says the Alta California. It had come all the way from village in old Virginia, and was addressed to 8 party in Southern California. Suspecting something wrong, the box was opened, when it was found to contain an old-fashioned corn dodger, together with letter from younglady who, in addition to a great many other sweet sentiments, wished she. e.could send the object of her affections 8 whole bakery full of corn cakes made with her own hands. The "object' had evidently been expressing desire for another taste of the corn bread of his native State, but when he pays full letter post age on this piece, which will be rather stale by the time it reaches him, he will no doubt wish he had been content with California cookery.

said President Kingsley in his address, that the two cities rose at all times to the level of the spirit of our time and country. Their citizens staked millions on what seemed to many to be an experi- ment "a structure, it was often said, that would never be of any actual use. How solid it is; how far removed it is from all sense of apprehension how great fac is destined to be we all now realize. This bridge has cost many millions of dollars, and it has taken many years to build it. May I say on this occasion that the people whom you represent Burning to where the Mayors of the two cities stood together) wouldnot part with the bridge to-day for even twice it's cost, and may remind those who not unnat- urally, perhaps, have been disappointed and irritated by delays in the past, that these who enter race with Time for a competitor have an antagonist that makes no mistakes, IS subject to nointerference and liable to no accidents.
 BOOM.
 The Ne,U York Syar predicts the fol lowing as the result of the Bridge:
 Increased interest in Brooklyn prop erty and affairs.
 Another bridge across East River.
 An agitation for consolidation of the two cities and big slice of Long Island.
 A vast increase of public spirit and in terest in municipal affairs on the part o1 our citizens generally, and particularly of our young men.
 SATISFIED.
 The President, the Governor, the Mayors, ex-mayors, generals (regular anC militia), admirals, commanders and cap tains without number, editors, artists architects, engineers, travellers, business men and troops of fair women, went il the afternoon to pay their respects tc MT. Roebling and his wife in Brooklyn During the reception MT.

 A CRAZY HEIGHT.
 When the foot bridge from anchorage 1 to anchorage of the East River Bridge was first thrown over it ran over the top 1 of the towers, with wooden slats for 1t bottom and nothing but steel wire ol either side to serve as hand rail. Acros this dizzy structure hundreds of persons | passed. People seemed to be crazy t. prostrate themselves on the top of thu towers. One man started on the journey got few hundred feet, and, calmly lying down, declined to budge an inch il either direction. Mortal terror hat seized his soul and he clung like grin death to the wooden slats. Workme1 were compelled to go out and get him Another ambitious gentleman fell dow in an epileptic fit halfway between tn anchorage and tower, and his legs an arms flew wildly about as he lay on tn naHrow path--about bhree feet in width and sympathetic undertakers who ha shops in the vicinity gathered in the ez pectation of doing all the justice possibl to 8 body that was about to fall 140 fec Again the bridge workmen intervene and the frothing unfortunate was take to the ground.

WOmanls Work.

The Boston Globe says that in 184O, when Harriet Martineau visited this country, she showed that only seven vo- cations were opened to women who wanted work. These were keeping boarders, setting type, teaching needle work, labor in cotton mills and folding and stitching..in book binderies. Now there are 284 occupations opened to women in Massachusetts, and 551, ,15S members of the gentler sex in that State alone earn their own living, receiving from $15O to 5000 each per annum. This does not include ameteurs ol mothers and daughters in the household. As there are 10000 surplus women in Massachusetts these new avenues of em. ! ployment are widely appreciated.

 "Stand where you are," Jennie heard MT. Aliens voice call out, Cor I'll shoot you down."
 What immediately followed Jennie did not see, for leaving the window she rushed down stairs, lit the lantern, rolled back the bureau, unlocked the door, and went out. When she had gained the road the two buglars, captured and tied, were being guarded by the constables, while Mr. Allen was Investigating the contents of the wagon, and making sure, as far as he could in the darkness, that all was right. At Jennie's approach he looked up.
 "Ah l" he said. 'Are you the toll-gate keepers daughter Just ask your father to step out here, won't youl"
 Jennie smiled. "Father isn't at home, sir," she said.
 "Oh, well, your mother, then, or any one who keeps the gate"
 "Mother isn't at home, either, sir am keeping the gate"
 The gentleman looked at her in sur prise.
 "You P he exclaimed. sWhat made these fellows stop here?''
 :'They broke their wagon, sir.' a'How did they happen to do that ?
 "The horse ran into the gate, sir"
 "Was the gate shut?"
 "Yes, sir.''
 "You don't usually shut the gate al night?"
 "No, sir, but I did tonight" He looked at her for further explae nation, and Jennie, who never liked te tell of her exploits, was obliged to go on
 ''They telephoned me about it from Leicester, sir" she said briefly.
 "Did they tell you to shut the gate ?
 "No, sir; the telephone stopped before they got as far as that; these men GU the wire, and had to think for myself what should do.''
 "And you thought of that?" he asked
 "Yes," she said, modestly.
 "Well, he said, ''you are thought full little girl. You've saved me grea deal of money tonight, and I'll neve forget it.
