Chinese Names.

A child's first name is given when
about month old. This is called the
Milk name, and is usually some trifing
epithet, as the name of flower for
girls and of some distinguished virtue
for boys. This name is dropped when
the child grows up. The children asso-
ciate together till they are about eight
years old, when the boys are sent to
school, and the girls kept secluded in
the house. When boy enters school
he receives another name called the
Book name, which is conferred with
much ceremony, and which he after
wards retains in the family, but he is
often called Familiarity by his Milk
name. Persons engagedin business
have what is called Shop name, not
putting their own proper names on their
stores. This Shop name is somewhat
similar to our names for hotels, consist
ing sometimes of such phrases as Mutual
Advantage, Abundant Profits & Co.,
etc. A mans last name is applied to
him after his death, on account of his
moral qualities, and is equivalent to the
epitaphs on our tombstOnes. Chicago

The Northern Boundary.

The whole Of this boundary, from
Michigan to Alaska, has been distinct
ly marked by the British and American
Commissioners; and some interesting
details have been published of the way
in which this difficult task was accom-
plished. The boundary is marked by
stone cairns, iron pillars, wood pillars,
earth mounds and timber posts. These
structures vary from five feet in height
to fifteen feet, and there are 1856 of them
between the Lake of the Woods and the
base of the Rocky Mountains. That
portion of the boundary which lies east
and west of the Red River Valley is
marked by cast-iron pillars at even mile
intervals. The British place one every
two miles, and the United States one
between each British post. The pillars
are hollow ironcastings, and upon the
opposite faces are cast, in letters two
inches high, the inscription, "Conven-
ton of London" and October 20,
1873"
The average weight of each pillar
when completed is eighty-five pounds.
With regard to the wooden posts, the
Indians frequently cut them down for.
fuel, and nothing but iron will last very
long. Where the line crosses lakes,
mountains of stone have been built. the
bases being in some places eighteen feet
under water, and the tops projecting
some eight feet above the surface of the
lake at high-water mark. In forests,
the line is marked by telling the timber
rod wide and clearing away the I'M
derbrush AS might well be imagined,
the work of cutting through the tim
bered swamps was very great, but it
has all been carefully and thoroughly
done. The pillars are all set four feet
in the ground in ordinary cases, with
their inscription faces to the north and
south, and the earth is well settled and
stamped about them. The iron posts
afford little temptation for dislodgment
and conveying away by the Indians.

According to English trade papers,
the importation of American manufac-
lures into Australia, though small as
yet, is rapidly increasing. The Austria
lians prefer certain kinds of American
goods to English goods, because they
are of better quality, more neatly fin
ished, and made without any superfuous
material, are packed better for shipping
and are made with especial reference to
the market for which they arc intended.

The Warsaw Mill.

The Warsaw mill at Gro Blanco, which has laiu idle for many months, because of the reported rebellious quality of the ores of that section, will be started up in about ten days from now under the most positive assurances of success. AIr. J. M Kirkpatrick has been given charge Of the mill and the mines, and he has secured the services of practical mill man, Mir. A. Hoover, who has analysed the ores and promises to mlll them up tO ninety per cent. of their assay value, without any serious trouble The mil is being overhauled and placed in good shape, and besides having an abundance of ore ready for reduction all classes of ore that can be worked will be purchased at the mill at fair prices. From this promising out look it is fair tO assume that Gro Blanco will experience a solid boom and that the miners of that section will soon be in possession of quite encouraging bank accounts.

Iris stated that the passage Of the proposed city charter of Tucson is doub-fll. several Pima county members being opposed to it. The charter was drawn with care, was submitted to a large committee Of our best citizens who revised 1t aud reported the same to the Mayor and Common Council The bill so revised was then sent to Pres colt. to be made a law. We can see no reason for opposition to the bill from members from this county, and we are at a loss to understand why they oppose its passage. They are responsible for their acts as legislators, but 1t seems to us they are going out Of the way to oppose a measure of such vital im- portance 70 the future of our city. As the law now stands no street improve ments of any k1nd can be made. The city authorities cannot even order a sidewalk or street crossing to be con- structed. They possess DO authority to do anything in the shape of public i'm provements. Niue-tenths of the tax payers of Tucson are in favor of the passage of the new charter bill, and we do not believe that tue members from Pima county can afford to oppose the will of their constituents.

SENATOR TABOR seems to have had an object in view, in securing a divorce from his wife last year. He was mar ried to Mrs. Eliza R. McComb, of Os- kosh last week. It seems this marriage would have been consummated sometime ago, but MT. Tabor thought it might prejudlce his case with his divorced wife who was seeking alimony. We know not upon what grounds Mir. Tabor was divorced from his former wife, bat We have heard that she shared his life Tn the days of his diversity be- fore the discovery of the silver mines at Leadville, which have made him rich, and if she did so, it would seem very shabby on the part of Mr. Tabor to turn her adrift when the days of prosperity dawned upon him. Instead of seeking to prevent her from securing alimony, be should, to say the least, have dealt generously by her. We have always been of the opinion that a woman who helps and assists her husband to make fortune is as much entitled to her share of it, as the husband, and We believe that majority of people will agree with us on this question. An equal division of the property would, in our estimation, been much nearer the fair thing on Mir. Tabor's part. The statement is made that he was secretly married to Mrs. McComb sometime ago, but We believe the parties deny it.

coraprsstoyAL CRANK.

Cranks are not confined to auy par ticular locality or profession. We have crank doctors, crank lawyers, crank preachers and crank congressmeh; but of all the ridiculous men of the crank order who have been in Congress during the past dozen years, Richelieu Robin son, Of New York, takes the lead. He may not be craz,, oa; for al toe good he can do in Congress he might as well be. He IS au Irish gentleman actording to his estimation, but intelligeEt Irish gentlemen are ashamed Of him and avoid him. He seems to have Q mania for pitching into England on every oc- cssion, and like some others of bis coun- trymen, cannot realize that as Q natur- alized citizen of the United States he owes allegiance to his adopted eoaatry and is no longer citizen Of Ireland. He seems to think his mission ir Con- gress is more a representative of Ire land than of a congressional distric; in the United States. He became frantic last year because Minister Lowell did not make q demand upon the British government for the immediate relss.e of Irish Americans who had gone to fSeiand for the express purpose of violating the law.
 The United States has never yet and we trust never will, ask immunity rom crimes committed ID foreign countries by native born citizens. Yet Mir. Robin son would have our government demlnd the release of naturalized Irish crhni- nals without so much as ordinary In- quiry into the cases.
 But his last effort in twisting he British lions tail took place a few diys ago. He introduced joint resolution, the title of which is "For the relie Of Ireland, for the benefit Of England, and for the glory of the United States" Af- terra long preamble wherein Gladstone and his hirelnys were unmercifIlly abused, lt would up with d resolution To purchase and annex Ireland othe United States.
 Spare us good Richelieu, spare us. We know that We, the people Of the Unit States, have sinned and that We ought to be punished, but do not ever whelIn us with the degree of thy pun Ishment. Give us one more chance. We will do almost anything rather 'hau submit to the terms of your punishueut which are greater than We can bear. Take our navy and our army, go to Eng land and subdue the whole blau,ed country, and turn it over to Ireland, but do not annex the United States to that unfortunate country.
