Mistakes In Newspapers.

the Eagle at 800 600; that is the actual
number of bits OF metal arranged for
each newspaper in preparing a news
paper Of that size for the press. We

not an original one. Several defeat

OPIUM AND THE CHINESE.

The object of the bill of Senator
Miller of California, in regard to the
importation of opium, is to close up
the Chinese opium dens of the
country, especially those of Cali
fornia. 1t is also thought that b.
rendering it impossible for Chinese
to get opium in sufficient quantities to
satisfy their wants, it will tend to
drive them from this country. There
is a deal of sound sense in the prcpo-
sition. Take the average Chlna>
mans opium pipe from him and life
to HIM will have lost one of its greatest
charms. Opium to the China.
men is more to him than haksheesh
is to the Persian, beer to the German,
ale or 'alf and 'alf to the Englishman,
aud whiskey to the Irish aud Ameri-
cans.
Give the Chinaman his pot of
opium, his pipe and tallow dip, and
no matter how close and filthy are
his surroundings, how dark and
gloomy is his den, how hard his
couch, he will dream away his
hours in blissful forgetfulness of
them all and, oblivious of his hard
destiny, his freed spirit will revel In
the delights and charms OF his ORR

heaven of his Joss" The passage
of Senator Miller's substitute for the
prahibitory opium bill will deprive
John Of all these blissful pleasures In
this country and will turn his foot
as well as his thoughts, to the
land across the broad sea.

then shot her, smashed her body with
rocks and burned the corpse. His
wife disclosed the secret. Mcdowell"

the fatal blow. because she was jeal-
Gus of her. He exonorated the .'ffi-

PO3TEkIrY'S POSTWAR.

clamation: IAN l to make myself

Rabbi Huebsch, in one of bis late
sermons, go into history and, like a
true postman, bear the Lasker mes
sage to posterity. The recent foolish
act of his Accidency, President
Arthur, in removing Minister
Sargent from the Ger nan court,
will add wings and strength to the
message and bear it to unborn liber-
ais of generations to come. The
heart of every liberal, especially
every Hebrew liberal. throughout
Europe and America will bura with
indignation at the cowardly act Of
the chief magistrate of this great
nation. But Arthur's weakness
coupled with Bismarck's phrase will,
as the Rabbi truly SAID, become
posterity's postman.
