SHIN CHIN Sun is an educated China
man, a convert to Christianity, who has
been travelling as secretary to q promi-
nent Roman Catholic missionary. They
visited the principal cities of Europe,
and spent some time In Rome, where
Shin Chin Sun was received by the
Pope; thence, passing through Spain
and Portugal, they went to Brazil, and
finally they came to the United States
expecting to return to China by tine
way of San Francisco. Arriving at the
shores of this land of the free, how
ever, the Chinaman for the first time
encountered barrier. In the effete
despotism of Europe he had come and
gone freely, but in the great Republic
of the West, the equal laws of which
he had heard, made an exception
against his race and the custom officers
at New York would not allow Shin to
land. His European companions came
ashore, but Shin had to remain aboard
ship. It is easy to say no doubt, that
this officer was a fool, but he was act
ing under the statute. and the incident
but illustrates the wholly upjustifable
illiberality of the discrimination against
the Chinese. Shin Chin Sims own ma
ton is less inhospitable than this So
called refuge for the oppressed of al
nations.

A Story of Four Little Kittens.
From the Delaware Gazette

A circumstance happened to young
married man living in the upper end
Of the city which to his mind clearly
and indisputably proves the correctness
of the old saying that "a cat has nine
lives" On Monday last CAT gave
birth to four kittens which he had de-
cided to make way with. He accord
ingly procured a bucket of water, and
having, as he supposed, drowned the
kittens, buried them under about Is
inches of dirt, upon which he stamped
vigorously. The following day his wife,
who happened in the yard, heard Pc
culiar and smothering sound, and no.
ticed the old cat acting very strangely
over the grave of her young. Proceed
ing 10 the spot she was astonished to
hear the kittens mewing, and immedi-
ately dug them up and found that all
four were still alive and kicking, not
withstanding the fact that they had
been under ground Is honrs.

on the streets they would be astonished
to observe how much Of this so. called

This Catching on" has caused more
| sorrow in the home circle, has ruined
more girls, made more dishonored
graves-and the Lord only knows how
| many suicides--through remorse OF
conscience caused by sober thought
after Whit had TRANSFERRED, it has
brought. How those words in Hattie
Bayless' letter, "Ask Mabel Moore,
Fred Hughes and ]. III. Burke why ]
commit this fearful deed" must have
burned and wrung the hearts of the
griet-stricken parents. Last week two
drummers, or commercial men, one
named Williams, from Rochester, n
T., the other Smith, of Buffalo, got up
Irritation with two young ladies OF
Lockport, n. Y, who were high in So
clal circles and who had hitherto borne

start by these foolish girls, but it ended
In both girls consenting to &C

These girls went, but, thanks to her
guiding angel, one of them saw her
father on the streets and took the next
train back to Lockport, without being
discovered. Her companion was wined
and dined and stayed in the hotel, oocu-
plying the same room with the man
Williams. all night, and returned to her
home next day. Her conscience prick,

made full confession. The result is
Williams is under arrest, q warrant is
out for Smith, and the fair name of at
least one Of these young ladies ruined
forever. This damnable custom of
flirting and " catching on" which socie-
ty tolerates, is the entrance to the high
way of prostitution and misery. 1t is
an evil that cannot be reached directly
by law and can only be wiped out by
the watchfulness Of parents or guar
dams. A seven-shooter judiciously
used would have q good moral effect in
community where this damnable
business is carried on. The young men,
or sports, more properly pimps, who
are party in this practices of flirting,
are as rule unfit to address, even in q
casual way, the girl whom they entice
within their power. They cannot be
reached by the law, except in proof Of
abduction, and they know it. The one
remedy and safeguard then left is for
the girls to be put ON their guard and to
shun, as they would s. serpent, the ad-
vances of these licentious rascals.

BILLY M'GLORY'S COURAGE.
An Incident of Fashionable New " OrL
Drive Graphically Reported.
New York Sun.

There was cry of terror on Jerome
avenue on Tuesday evening. A spirit
ed horse was tearing madly down the
avenue, with spider-web wheels at his
neels. A girl fourteen years old sat in
the buggy as pale as death, but retain
ing fast grasp of the reins. The
alarm had spread Ind everybody mad
turned aside, giving the runaway fair
held. A dark-complexioned gentle
man with buckskin horse took in the
situation. He piled his whip savagely
and IN minute his buggy was a the
side or the spider-web wheels. He
saw that they were near the curb. The
girl was ON the point of fainting. If
the wheels ran upon the curb the up
setting OF her buggy would surely fol-
low. Courage, girl" he shouted:
I'm with you. Keep tight reign
and pull to the left. Don't be alarmed
You'll be all right"
The girl pulled to the left and the
spider-web wheels left the curb. The
buckskin horse was tapping and forg-
ing across the pathway of the runaway.
The gentleman caught the runaway
near the bits and was nearly drawn
from his seat. He was forced to let
go. A second time was the buckskin
horse forced to the front. ''Ssve me.
oh, save mel" cried the girl.
A second time the dark-complex-
Toned gentleman caught the horse and
a second time was he forced to relin-
quish his hold. He drew a revolver
with the intention of shooting the run
away, but again threw the wheels of
his buggy partly across his course and
caught him by the reins. The horses
head was between the fore and hind
wheels of his buggy. Both horses
were dashing along the road, but he
held the runaway firmly by the head
and shouted to workingman near
CaWOod's. TIE workingman ran to
the rescue. The horse was stopped
and the girl transferred to the buggy of
her nreserver. Her father had been
thrown from the buggy at One Hun
bred and Forty-fifyh street. The gen
tleman took him in his buggy and
drove father and daughter to their
home IN Fifty-seventh street. The
father was Samuel Browning, whole
sale clothier, of 406 Broadway. The
gentleman who saved the life of his
daughter was Mr.. William McGlory, of
Armory Hall, Hester street.

A DefauIter's High-Minded Wife.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
II is said that Mrs. Vincent, wife of
our deiaulting state treasury, has paid
to the state $15, 1000, realized from the
sale of her jewelry and furniture.
This is one of the few instances in
which noble and honorable women
have borne the burden of their hus-
bands shame and crime. Mrs. Vim
cent should have kept the money.
The amount would not benefit the
state to any very great degree, and it
would be of great benefit to her. Sac
is deserted by her natural protector
and compelled to depend on her own
resources for her maintenance. The
crime was Vincent's, not hers.

The civil service commissioners
have got into trouble again. They did
their level best to guess how many
members of the same family were en-
titled to an Office, but were obliged to
turn the conundrum over to the attor-
ney general. Hardly had they dis
posed of this knotty question when
the women treasury clerks and their
sisters il the other departments ap-
peared on the scene and wanted to
know if trey were to be allowed to
compete for the coveted promotions.
The gallant fellows are just now study
ing how to make 8 sufficiently dip
lomatice answer. They are not against
the employment of lady clerks as a
principle, but are not enthusiastically
favorable to the practice. The women
mean business and insist on their
rights. It is doubtful if the RESPONSE
bility can be unloaded on the attorney
general In this case.

Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning
a fire was discovered in the mandatory
on Sixth street just in the rear of the Clar-
endon hotel. The building is two story
stone structure and it is owned by a synd1-
cate consisting of Il. NJ. Smythe and the
heirs Of the Thompson estate. 1t was &C.
cupied by half dozen different
firms as follows IL. Beta
que, manufacturer of furniture:
Moeller d Peterson, manufacturers of sash.
doors and blinds; Sickels & Co., machine
shops; Robert Sigel, machinist, and W. F.
Bailey & Co., brass foundry. Owing to
the lateness Of the hour it was
impossible to secure an &C
curate list of the losses or insurance.
The building was probably fully insured.
The total loss on it and the contents will
be several thousand dollars.
The fire had the appearance of being
incendiary, as the department was called
to the same place in the afternoon, where
a pile Of shavings were found to be on fire.
The guests at the Clarendon hotel were
all aroused from their slumbers, but they
had no especial cause for apprehension.
The fire department turned out prompt
ly and some very effective work was done
in the way of combining the blaze.
