How the Chinese settle Their Accounts.

The week which ushers out the chief
IA of the twelve months from q finan-
cial standpoint, for within these seven
days the books are closed; every &C
count is collected and Indebtedness dis
charged and the new year comes in with
no balances to be brought forward
ave in the cash and one or two
stock accounts. So rigid is the rule
that each one shall pay every one of his
debts on the last week of the fifty-two
that the luckless one who fails in the
smallest account is posted at the ex-
change, and he must furnish a reason
for non-payment which shall be entirely
acceptable and satisfactory to the body
of the exchange or he might as well put
up his shutters, for his business days
will have come to an end, the effect of
non-payment being that his brother mer-
chants will combine and force him 10 60
out of the business, and he will not be
permitted to 60 into trade again until the
claim is settled in full. With the close
of the year and the settlement of all
accounts it is the common custom to
destroy all papers and books, for ali the
accounts being closed and transactions
finished, they are of no value 10 the
Chinaman, who cares nothing for the
past. One other custom of the Chinese
merchants may properly be considered
in this article, and it can best be ex-
planned in the words of s. prominent
merchant of the quarter, who speaks
remarkably pure English Said he in
the course of conversations:
Take my own store here for In
stance-I have two in San Francisco
have here a partner and a bookkeeper.
both of whom sell goods in the store.
Then we have a clerk who is known to
every n of merchants as being
authorized to buy for the firm. and his
orders are always filled. But supposing
he leaves or is discharged-in either
case We act differently from your mer-
chants. We notify every member of
the exchange that he is no longer in our
employ, and We send around to every
prominent merchant in our part of the
city and notify them, and don't You see
we are thus not cheated.-San Francisco

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Corning, O., All Torn Up Over The Recent
Expulsion of Andy McIDevitt from the
Town-A Wa-of Factions Likelyt to Result.

Corning, O., All Torn Up Over The Recent
Expulsion of Andy McDevitt from the
Town-Aw a-of Factions Likely TO Result.
COLUMBUS, o., March 6.
The trouble over the McDeyitt abduc-
ton at Corning is getting worse. Every
turn OF affairs seems to irritate it, till there
is danger of violence. Andy McDevitt,
who promised the mob last Sunday night
that ne would never set o in the town
again. returned Yesterday accompanied by
his friends carrying rifles. McDevitt was
given a royal reception. Fully 1000
people met him at the depot and
escorted him to his store, where
he held an ovation during the
day. but did not remain in the town over
night. He and Father Il. NJ O'Boylan
have, however, not as vet been in the
town 1T the same time since last
Sunday. The reverend father left Tor
New Lexington on the train previous
TO McDevitt's arrival, expecting to re-
turn on the next train, but when ne
saw the McDevitt party on the cars he
did not board il, and remained at tbs
County Jail with the members OF his
congregation. who are under arrest. The
case OF Father O'Boylan was postponed
till Friday. The others will have
no hearing till the Grand jury
meets next Monday, as they waived q
preliminary examination. Andy McDev-
itt came up to New Lexington in the af-
ternoon and Father o'Boylan returned
to Corning. McDevitt swore out twelve
more warrants, making tw~enty-six IN all,
with more to follow. To complicate the
present desperate social condition of this
mining region, four arrests were made
for the lynching of Richard Hickey, two
weeks ago. and efforts are being made to
have Andy McDevitt indicted for killing
fra Ouickbaum in self-defense q
rear ago. There is q desperate state
of affairs at Corning and Rendvilfe.
