PADRE MAHlN.

The wonderful stories that are
waited here from the Coast Noun
tains, relative to the venerable
priest who holds forth in a lonely
valley near the Cantua, continue to
excite attention especially among
the Mexican population, and many
families of that nationality, as we'll
as quite a number of Frenchmen
and Portuguese, are abandoning
their property and repairing thither,
as they say, to remain to the end OF
time. A number of those who
went over at the first bidding have
returned, and have packed up their
household goods, or are now doing
SO, preparatory to returning.
Pedro Lascelle, an intelligent
Basque Frenchman, who was over
with his wife to investigate matters,
returned home last week, and pack
ed up and started back last Satur-
day.
Wishing to gain some facts rela-
tive to the mysterious man of the
mountains, an E.rpositor reporter
interviewed Mr.. Lascelle, but was
unable, in consequence of the diff

''Well, for, heavens sake" NUT
tered the youth, biting his lips, as he
fished some pennies out of different
pockets. The car had been standing
all this time and the ladies had all
risen and moved toward the door.
The school girls, very much frighten-
ed-one of them crying-hurriedly
alighted and walked down the street.
Just then big policeman who had
come down from Broadway, doomed
up in the doorway.
'Here, here, what's all this, eh !"
he growled, ooh, a Gussie, ell? At
it again, are you, you little pill?"
''Dear me, it's nice state of
affairs"
"Say, young man, we amt allow

The youth timorously approached
the door and siding out disappeared
up the street. The car started for
ward and the women settled back in
their seats with faces expressive Of
security and relief.-Neao York

A correspondent of morning Pal

been made between Brazil and Chi
ia for the introduction into the
former country Of 10000 Chinese
indentured laborers. 1t is esti-
mated that they can he landed at
Rio for little more than f2 per

per diem, and to provide their own
food. They will therefore cost less
than negro slave labour, upon which
the Brazilians have hitherto relied.
The correspondent states that no
guarantees are given for the fair
treatment of the Chinese. In the
interior Of Brazil there is total
absence of any judicial machinery
for the protection of the labouring
class, and the Chinese possess no
diplomatic or consular authority to
secure redress for their grievances.
1t is said that the labourers are not
to have passports like other foreign-
ers; that they will he prohibited

ton being to employ them in coffee

pated. Ne7cS.

Concerning Oscar Wilde's new
play, the Tribune says the piece
poorly rewards public curiosity by
the exposition of a fanciful, foolish,
nighly-pcppered story of love iu-
trigue and politics, invested with
Russian accessories of fun and dark
lanterns, and OVERLAND with bantam
gobblc about freedom and the
people.

with the unknown being. He de-
scribes hun rs wonderful man,
possessing the power to call all who
9 ,ne by their proper names at sight;
to heal the sick and relieve the
distressed. He has sent out word
to all who want to be saved to go
and see him, and if they believe in
him they shall not die.
Who this wonderful being is Mr..
Lascelle does not pretend to say,
but he says others claim that his
name is Father Mahin, a priest
who was venerated for his right
eousness, and who passed away this
earthly life and became an immortal
spirit 500 years ago, and that he
before visited the same section some
forty-six years ago.
He announces to the faithful that
all man-kiAd who do not respond to
his invitation to locate in the Coast
Mountains and obey the commands
of God will be destroyed by fire and
flood within three years. He says
for them to abandon everything and
come there and he will provide for
and take care of them. He has
with him tablets of stone containing
the laws of God engraved on them.
These he brought from the shores
Of Galilee, they having been epgra-
we'd by immortal hands. He asks
no money nor worldly goods. They
are as mere dross to him. His
wants are supplied by hands unseen.
One Of the young Mexican ladies
who went over declares she saw the
Virgin Mary pass from the presence
OF the holy man and disappear in
the solid rock.
1t is related by Mr.. Lascelle that
Portuguese, who did not at first
believe, has, on further investiga-
ton, become so thoroughly con-
WINGED that the padre is a super
natural being, and that he truthfully
foretells the end of time, that he
has sent for all his relatives, now
residing III Portugal, to come there
and be saved. A bedridden woman
has by his magic touch been re-
stored to health and youthfulness.
Many other remarkable stories are
related. That certain portions Of
the county's population strongly
believe that the priest is a simon
pure messenger from Heaven, is
illustrated by the manner in which
they are aocking to his presence.
Joaquin Lamonthc and family, and
number of others, will leave
Fresno in few days, to remain

and his cheap trousers of gaudy
color painfully revealed the uneven
contour of his legs. He wore soap
dish hat at an angle over his left ear,
and smiled smile of impertinent
assurance as he leercd at the ladies
in the car. These looked away from
him in disgust, some of them flush
ing angrily at his insulting smirk,
and others treating him with an
Indifference that showed how often
they had met him and his kind
before. A red faced and thick set
driver turned often and glared at
the cheaply dressed youth, but the
youth still stared at the ladies and
sucked his cigarette.
The car stopped and two school
girls in tight fitting jackets and
pretty hats stepped aboard. The
young man would not make room
for them, but leaned little forward
so that they were obliged to rub
against him and step over his feet to
get into the car. Meanwhile he
grinned in their faces and put his
hand Familiarity on the arm of the
foremost of the two girls. She shrank
nervously away and hurried into the
Car. Her companion, who was
perhaps l6 years old, raised pair
of clear gray eyes and looked the
grinning youth squarely in the face.
He did not vince, but seemed
rather pleased, and his watery eyes
glistened as he coughed suggestively
and showed his discolored teeth.
The girls went as far forward in the
Car as possible, and after paying
the fare whispered excitedly to each
other. The youth staggered into
the car and sat down close to the
younger girl, pressing against her
with his knees and peering into her
face, still smiling insolently. The
other women in the car glanced about
them, and the two girls abruptly
changed their seats. The youth,
whose smoking cigarette had made
the whole car disagreeable, followed
ana hung nlmsel1 down Deslde them
again. At this point the driver
yanked the door open and thrust his
head into the car.

"Well, I'm quite sure" minced
the young man in a high falsetto
tone and with the excitability of an
old maid, Sits great pity if a
