THE QUILT CRAZE.

There is no telling what a persistent
and determined woman cannot accomplish.
The case of Mrs. Emma f. Wright testifes
10 degree of perseverance and boldness
for the accomplishment of a very useless
end, that is not often parallcled. Mrs.
Wright determined to make an autograph
quilt. Many another woman has decided
to do the same thing and has done it, to
the annoyance of many human beings.
But Emma aimed at large game, and she
brought it down. We have nc means of
knowing how many times she was snubbed,
nor with what defeats she met She is
silent on these points. From the measure
Of her success, however we may safely as
sumo that she was rebufcd times without
number But her triumph was not dimmed.
She made an autograph quilt such as no
other woman dreamed Of and it has ac-
quired such fame that hundreds of news
papers have given columns to description
of it, and the labors of the maker in secur-
ing the signatures of illustrious people.
The quilt was recently again on exhibition
in New York, at that strangeSt of all
fairs held-an exposition of "crazy
work" And 4 successful fair it was,
II we are to believe our New York ex-
changes The crazy quilt of Mrs Wright
Is written over with distinguished names
from FIRST hands, such as the three Glad
stones, Presidents Arthur and Cleveland
Generals Grant and Logan, Beecher, Tai
mage, Sturgeon, farrar, John Bright,
Lowell, Booth, Barrett, Salvini, Patti,
Gerster, kellogg, Carey, and some hun
dreds Of other distinguished people in war,
politics, science religion, music, the drama,
etc. Victoria and Wales, more discreet
than others, wrote through the agency of
their secretaries. The strange fancy of
autograph quilts is born of the present
decade, and has had a furious run, but in
no instance has there been any such sue
cess attained as that by Mrs. Wright In
view of this fact, and the attention her
achievement has had from the press, it
must make famous people Shiver to con-
templatewhat is probably before them. For
ii is perfectly certain that hundreds of
women will set about to eclipse the fame of
Mrs. Wright, and besege dignitaries and
public people, until they will regret with
inexpressible bitterness the amiable weak
ness that led some hundreds of them to
yield to the request of Mrs Wright, and
thus set a precedent against which the
door can now scarcely be closed The
evolutions of patchwork, from the
plain calico scraps stitched by our great
grandmothcrs in the gossipy days Of the
oid-time quilting circles, through the
changing fashions of bed coverings up to
that monstrosity of silk and riot of color.
the crazy quilt, has eliminated, let us hope,
in this last covering sanctifed by the
touch of distinguished hands, the auto
graph quilt. Let us also indulge the hone
that no feminine genius will attempt to
work out still other possibilities in the
quilt line, as, for instance, in the effort to
produce Il photo-portrait quilt-that would,
indeed, prove to be the last straw.

You CANT DRINK BEER WITH IMMUNITY.
"A writer in the Scientific AmericQ,. has
this to say to beer drinkers The use OF
beer is found to produce species of de-
generation in all the organs, profound and
deceptive fatty deposits diminished circu-
lation, conditions of congestion and perver-
sion of functional activities, local infiam-
nations Of both liver and kidneys are con-

amounting almost to paralysis, arrests the
reason, changing all the higher faculties
INTO mere animalism, sensual, selfish
sluggish, varied only by paroxysms of an
ger, that are senseless and brutSl. In an
pearance the beer drinker may be the pic
ture of health; but in reality he is most
incapable of resisting disease. A slight
injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body
or mind, will commonly provoke acute dis
ease, ending fatally.

Chinese Nnestinn in Sncrnn,o.,+.,

The condition of the public mind in this
city upon the Chinese question has already
been fully considered in these columns.
The Board of Trade at its meeting yester-
day, in discussing the views presented in
the annual report of its President wisely
concluded That whatever action could or
should be taken upon the subject, with a
view to restricting the evils arising from
Monaghan competition and invasion
should be participated in by those most
deeply concerned in the business ami social
welfare of the community. Accordingly n
committee from the Board of Trade was
appointed, which is to hold a conference
with committee from the Citizens Asso-
citation this forenoon, with view to making
arrangements to participate in the public
meeting at Turner Hall tomorrow evening.
This IS matter, certainly, in which bust
ness men and laborers are equally inter
ested, and in which the conservative ele
ment should take 4 duly prominent posi-
ton. The present appearance is that the
committees from the Board of Trade and
the Citizens's Association will enlistscen-
| eral participation in the meeting. not only
! on the part of business men, but those
from ali the various industries and trades
represented in the city, and thus bring into
counsel upon this important subject all
classes interested in such practicable meas
ures as may be adopted for complete re-
striction of Chinese immigration and the
removal of ruinous competition with SER
vile labor

real facts about him and his connection
with the Taber case. Such man. who

This Board has at different times made efforts
to further the interest bearing on the compile
ton of the California and Oregon Railroad Our
last effort was made the early part of the cur
rent year. The Government official declines to
confirm to the railroad company beyond Red
ding the lands that belong to the company. as
per the terms of the bill of Congress authorizing
the building of the road. He claims that the
the land grant Doubtless the point is legally
well taken. However. let us look at the matter
from practical point for a moment. The situa-
ton appears to be about this: The railroad
company agreed with the General Government
to construct tirst-class railroad from Roseville
to the Oregon State line, the company to furnish
everything, but 10 do the work in certain time.
The Government was to give the builders every
odd section of uuoccupied land situate at a GER
tam distance from the road. deeming that to
have the country developed and all the lands
made available and useful would Justify the
venture that the Government was supposed to
make According to the original contract the
road is finished to Redding, or fifty per cent. of
the distance Inc railroad has spent about
tnirty-hye per cent of the money that they con-
tracted to spend, as it has been, so far, over a
comparatively level valley, the re is very
heavy work. The Government official has con-
firmed to the company about eighty per cent. of
the land grant. We all know that those valley
lands already confirmed were valuable and the
mountain lands will be worth something when
the road is completed. There is, therefore. I'M
finished 50 per cent. of distance, % per cent of
railroad Coin yet to be spent, and 70 per cent of
government ianu YET 70 De conIlrnedt IN Order
to bring darkness into light, and send the voice
of civilization into a wilderness. If the Govern
ment had withheld all title to the land from the
railroad company until the completion of the
contract, or If it had compelled the company to
commence at the State line and work ttis way
the bargain would nave been such an one that
il would be keenness for the Cove rnmcnt to
now live up to the letter of the contract. But
the situation now should quiet the voice of the
Government and grazier alike. II would be
shrewdnesS for the Government to engage
Shoefs Chief Engineer TO take the General Lind
Agent of the Central Pacific Company up TO the
top of Mount Shasta and offer him, besides the
odd sections all the land there is in sight" If
his company will finish the road When the
contract was done, and the Land Agent called
