Chinese Must Go.

The quarters of the Chinese
workmen, at the i;lack Diamond
mines, Washington Territory, were
visited by mob. They were armed
with repeating rifles, and had each
sack drawn over his head with
holes cut for mouth, nose and eyes.
They were thus completely dis
guised, and presented a fearful APP
pearance. The Chinese fled in
terror from their houses, which
were then burned. These Chinese
had already been discharged from
the mines and expected to return
TO Seattle next morning. There is
much excitement over this Chinese
question. A convention to consist
of delegates from all parts of the
Puget Sound country, has been
called 70 meet IN Seattle on Sep
tember 2S, 10 devise means CT rid
ding the country of Chinese. This
feeling is intensified by the fact
that the Federal authorities hardly
make pretext of stopping Mongo-
hans from crossing the border in
to Washington Territory from
British Columbia. The law, which
was made to protect people from
an influx of Chinese is practically
dead-letter, and in consequence
of this they take the law into their
own hands with o y,ew TO protsc-
ting themselves Exchange. -"

silla, avery petty and highly ac-
complisheI young lady, daughter
Of Col. Wood, eloped on last Sun
day night with Luz Madrid, a
denselv ignorant Mexican of most
repnlslve cast of countenance. en-
ployed by her father IN the dual
capacit. of fruit picker and coach
man. They went to Dona Ana to
get married, but the justice aefus-
Ell to perform the ceremony, as he
did not believe the young lady was
of age. Monday morning, before
the girl had All opportunity Of
prove that she was over eighteen,
her father, who had discovered her
flight and tracked her to Dona
ANA, had her bound over for sn
appearance before Judge Butschof-
sky, of Las Cruces. on the plea that
she was suffering from a fl oi tenn
porary insanity; and, upon furnish
ing thousand dollar bond for her
appearance Tuesday morning, she
was committed to his custody.
Tuesday morning, after quite
sensational! trial, she was adjudged
of sound and dlsposing mind; and,
as no attempt was made TO deny
that she was OF age, the Judge in
formed her that she was at liberty
t. marry her lover if she so desired.
The father, after telling her to
choose between him and her lover,
and being told that she would
stick to the latter, left her to her
tate, and shortly afterward the
happy couple were made one by
Judge Bntschofsky, the bride
loaning her devoted cavalier the
necessary funds to defray all ex.
penses. The newly united pair
then left for their future residence,
Dona Ana, amidst the cheers and
loud spoken congratulations of the
assembled mob. The most roman
tic feature of the affair is that nei-
ther Of the love-smitten twain
speaks the others language, and
the marriage ceremony had to rem
dered first in Spanish and then in

just after the outbrefk OF the
Indians from the reservation, in
May, General Crook was notified
by the commander Of the division
that the Secretary of War would
furnish him with NIL the troops and
munitions of war which be might
require to make make a successful
campaign against the Indians. to
which he replied that he had ali
the troops he required. The posi-
tive manner in which he expressed
that opinion was sufficient to give
assurance that the campaign would
be short and decisive, but the re-
suit shows that the General was
either over-sanguine or willfully
misrepresented the situation to
Secretary Endicot. He cannot
claim that his operations have
been hampe red or embarrassed by
the administration or his superior
officers. He has been clothed with

peat, again, that he is indiaeetly

appearance of
NJ. REMAINS NEW WORK,
the "Nemi Priest" The work is an
other installment OF his philosophic
dialogues, of which "Caliban" and
the Eau dc Jouvence" have a.
ready appeared. The aim of the new work
is to demonstrate that society is impossible
without some sort of religious ideal, and NJ.
Renan particularly develops the highest of
all ideals, courage, because 1t requires sac
riiice. The action Of the drama takes place
on the borders Of Lake Nemi, near Alba, at
the time when Rome and Alba were rivals.
Rome has Just been founded by Romulus,
and the Albans are jealous Of the new city
which, according to the oracles, is to ruin
them and become the mistress of the world.
The Greek geographer, Strabo, recounts
that on the borders of Lake Nemi there stood
an old temple wherein was practiced a
singular religion; to be the high priest of
this temple the aspirant was obliged to kill
his predecessor. M. Renan takes this lc-
gend as his starting point and supposes that
a new priest, Antistius, who is a liberal,
wishes to reform this religion and,
naturally, to abolish the horrible GUS
tom of assassination. He succumbs In his
struggle against the stupldities or his peo-
pie and is slain by one Of his flock. All OF
NJ. Remains facts are, of course, imaginary.
He has simply invented this story as a
means Of airing his views on modern society,
of showing his horror of revolution, and his
dislike for democracy. IL We were to Judge by
the final defeat of Ahtistius and the trump
Of the demagogues Of Alba, we might In
cline to the belief that NJ. Renan has no
great faith in the efforts Of humanity to
free itself from evil; for in the ideas that he
expresses through the mouths Of his person
ages there is terrible amount OF skepticism
and pessmism. In very carefully written
preface, as though foreseeing this conclu-
sion, the author tries to reasusre us by say
ing that, in spite of the faults of the apos-
ties and martyrs he has tried to show that
the good cause is gaining ground. l am
not sure that he will be able to convince
the average struggler for life that all his
noble thoughts, expressed In the most har-
monious language, do not conceal his own
doubt on this point. DAsIEL D'ARTHEz.
