best of life, even though the high tide Of
prosperity may have ebbed away from
the hllls, and the stirring activity Of fifty
or a hundred years ago may have given
place to respectable laSSitude. 1t is u
pleasant, proper, graceful town, diqnifed
but not stiff well cultured but neither
curious nor ornate it has the air rather
of meditating upon the past than of strug-
Cling with the present or longing for the

parted glories, and families dying out,
and young men gong away to seek for
tunes. But there is nothing intense or
uncomfortable in its grief, and it is ready
to give Sedate welcome to its children

Farm houses abandoned and falling into
decay; here and there an old cellar over

pastures relapsing into thickets, and
worn-out fields which will not even Ego to

where the population Is diminishing rath-
er than increasing, drained by the mag
netic attraction of the great cities or the
western prares. But nature seems not
to feel the change. The landscape is as
fair and sweet and smiling as ever. The
rich foliage Of the hardwood forests
clothes the hills in these cool clear Au-

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS.
THE CHINESE RESTRICTION ACT.


WAsHINGTON, ,Oct.6.-The Secretary of the
Treasury referred TO the Attorney General
for an opinion on an interesting question
in regard to the enforcement of the Chinese
restriction act. One of the methods em-
ployed to evade the law was for emigrants
to land in British Columbia and cross the
border into Washington Territory. When
such persons were found they were driven
back into British Columbia and warned
not to return to the United States. 1t is
possible that many Chinese who had en-
tered the United States in various other
ways, were driven into British Columbia
under the impression that they came from
there. The authorities of British Colun.
bla protested against this and called for
the execution of law imposing IA fine of
$50 head on all Chinese who landed in
British possessions. The collector at Port
Townsend reported the situation to the
treasury department and asked for i'll
struction. The Secretary has called on
the Attorney General for an opinion, and
it is likely that the matter will be brought
before the Cabinet.
