cealed in his swaddling clothes. For
thirty years De Richebourg lived Ia

went beyond the courtyard. He was

Crime, Tyranny and Small Feet
in China
From the New York Sun.

from the New York Sun.
A large proportion of the throag at
the Baptist ministers meeting yester.
day women assembled to hear Miss
Adele Fields, for eighteen years miss
ionary in or near Swaton, China,
speak Of her experience among the
Chinese women. Miss Fields said the
progress of Christianity among the
women Of China had been slow, but
the difficulties encountered at every
step were enormous. Infanticide was
a terribly common crime among them.
and It was very hard to persuade them
that it was sinful to kill a girl baby.
One woman, long after she had be-
come Christian and Jealous worker
for the Church, was smitten with a
conviction of her guilt In having des-
troyed her five daughters within an
hour of the birth of each. She went
to Miss Fields and asked if she might
hope to be forgiven.
The bandaging of the feet of Chi
nese girls to stop their growth was a
horrible evil, and one that the mission
aries had striven hard, and with some
success, to check. The practice dated
back to 900 years A very brutal man
once told Miss Fields that if the wom-
en- were not thus crippled they would
be as strong as the men, and the latter
would no longer be able to beat them.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1884-01-10

There was very little martial felic-
ity in China. The girl had no voice
in the choice of her husband Sne was
simply carried to her intended father
in-law's house and there introduced
to the bridegroom. What did you
think of him when you first saw
him?" was a question Miss Fields
often asked, and the reply almost in
variably was: 81 hated him Except
among the Christians wife beating was
carried on in every family. A friend
of Miss Fields, who had gained the aft
ections of a Chinese wife, was appro-
ached by the latter who whispered in
her ear: docs your husband often beat
you?" Il am sorry he is dead" said
widow, referring to her deceased hus-
band. ''He was very good to me. He
seldom beat me. +" The standard of
happiness was not to be beaten often.
None had an idea of what it was not
to beaten at all.

SEALSKINS.
Ow They Are Retained i'm Fashion
by High Prices.
San Francisco Chronicle


It is often wondered why the price
Of sealskin goods should remain SO
high when the Arctic aboHnds with
the ANIMALS from which the fur is
taken. and the limit allowed by the
existing laws, as they are construed
by seaI-catchers, is comparatively
boundless. The statement of the
great cost Of coloring and preparing
the fur IS not credited by many, and
it does look rather strange that this
should be the case.
i. Gerstle, President of the Alaska
Commercial Company, dropped hint
or two to Chronicle reporter yester-
day on this subject. In speaking Of
the total catch for the season, which
Mr.. Gerstle says has been incorrectly
reported, it was remarked that the
market at the opening Of the season
Of 1883 showed such an OverstOcked
condition that it was thought neces-
sary, in order to work off the remain
ING furs, as we'll as future catches,
to take some steps to keep the demand
and supply steady and make the
transactions profitable to the com
pany.
''But." asked the reporter, IF the
supply is so great as it is reported,
why should not the trade be conduct
ed on a cheaper and more extensive
basis"
The round, hearty countenance of
the seal merchant was lighted up by
a broad smile, and with a significant
look in his eye he said:
THE idea is to have the popularity
2 the sealskin still retained by the
fashionable world"
''And you intend to do this by keep
ing up values?'
EXACTLY: that's the only way, and
it is in accordance with strict com
mercial principle. That is not all,
however. IL the sealskin should
become cheap and common, other
furs which are harder to procure
would then be in demand"
Chow is the market regulated"
'fWelI, said the president, 'you
know that we have a very extensive
trade abroad, and, in fact, LondOn
and Paris are the chief centres of the
fur trade. In March of each year a
meeting Of furriers or their delegates
is held in London, and to these we
make our report that they may know
the outlook for trade from this source
for the subsequent season. We gave
them notice Of our intention to re
duce the supply Of skins for the sea-
son of 1888, and have followed out
that plan to the letter. Here is a
copy of the report. 3"
On examination it was found that
the catch for the season was 40, 900
skins less than last years. The total
number captured, or agreed to be
captured, was 100, 900. OF those 25,-
900 were Copper Island aud u, 900
Alaska furs.
will the reduction of the annual
catch be permanent" was asked.
Il cannot say as to that, replied
Mr.. Gerstle. prior to this season
the tone Of the market had not been
very healthy, prices settling from
sale to sale; and, no other remedy be
ing offered US, the present step was
resolved on"

The Governor and the Treasuryship.

We copy from the Baltimore american of last
Sunday the following on the above subject: "The
election of Barnes Compton to the House of Rep
resentatives places in the hands of Governor Nc
Lane the power to appoint state treasurer. Mr..
Compton will not take his seat in the House IN
til December, 1885, but his term as member of
Congress begins March 4, and it is conceded that
it will be his duty to resign the state treasurer
ship on or before that date. This will put it in
the power of Governor MoLane to appoint to the
position man after his own heart, and the Board
of Public Works, of which the governor and treas
urer constitute majority, may thenceforth be
completely under the Governors control. The
majority of that body has not of late acted in
harmony with the Governors wishes. The Gov
ernor, it will be remembered, desired the election
of ex-Gov. Thomas to the canal presidency, but
Comptroller Turner and Treasurer Compton were
against it. Gov. McLane can have all this
changed, if he wants to change it. With the ap-
pointment of state treasurer in his own hands,
he can next year dictate the election of the pres
dent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and other
offices under the patronage of the Board of Pub
lie Works. If, as some of the German people in
innate, the Governor wants to "make up" with
Mr.. German and give up the senatorship for
foreign mission, he will very likely appoint
German man to the treasurership if not he will
appoint McLane man. Mr.. John S. Cuttings is
an aspirant for the treasurership. He ran against
Compton at the last session. 1t has been sug-
gested that with such appointment the Gov
ernor might be able to strengthen himself in Bal
timore county as we'll as in Baltimore city. The
name of City Collector Higgins has also been
used in connection with that Office but it is scarce
ly probable that he would give up his present
lucrative Office for one to which less pay is at
tached."
