SAN Francisco, April s.-A process
sion which attracted but little attention at
the time, is now known to have been pro-
ductive of serious and probably, in some
cases, fatal results. The city coroner on
last Sunday organized on the sand lots an
anti Chinese procession, and headed by
two bands of music paraded the city. Be-
fore starting he harangued the crowd on
Chinese evils. The result was that
every Chinaman who happened to cross
the route of the processionists was chased
by them and ill-treated if caught 1t

men were more frightened than hurt

many of them being severely u about
the head, and one fatally injured. The
original intention OF the coroner was to
parade his band through Chinatown. Had
he done so there would have been a big
butchery of Chinese.

Grant Improving.

New YoRK, April s.-The afternoon
passed in absolute quiet, as did the morn
ing hours, with Gen. Grant. Mrs. DR.,
Newman and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid left
their cards. The expressed opinion Of
DIR. Barker, that be felt little apprehen-
sion of serious results during the day OF
night served to allay immediate anxiety,
and a shower cleared the street of the
throng that had stood and stared at the
house.
Gen. Rosser, who achieved considerable
renown in the Confederate cavalry, called
at 6;l0 p. m. and left a box of flowers.
He did not see Grant, but when he came
out he said: 'He is better"
$50 P. MFRS. Gen. Grant and Col
Fred Grant and wife were in the library.
and DIR. Douglas was asleep.
AT 9:l5 p. m. Gen. Badeau emerged
from the house. He said Grant was rest
ing comfortably, and that the family felt
so confident the general would pass a good
night hat they had retired to bed.
At 1918 p. m. the following bulletin
was issued by the physicians: Gen.
Grant has passed a very quiet afternoon.
His general condition is the same as at
the last report. Pulse Ga, temperature
9s.6. He has taken food as usual.
DR.. Shrady says he will not send out
any more bulletins tonight, unless
thing unexpected occurs. The general is
sleeping, and the doctors think he will
have n quiet night.

was a great success, and presented a bril-
liant and impressive scene. The Yiceroy
sat upon a dais with the Ameer upon his
right hand, and the Duke of C~onnaught
upon his left. After valuable presents
had been offered the Ameer, he in a brief
speech acknowledged his obligations to
the Queen and the Viceroy for the many
favors extended to him, and stated he
would render every service in the power
OF his army or his people. As the British
had promised to help the Afghans beat
off external enemies, the Afghans would
stand firmly side by side with the British
against any common enemy. The Viceroy
presented the Amer with a magnificent
sword. The Amer, in accepting, said
he hoped to strike there with any enemy
of Great Britain. The Amer is well sat
isfed with the ceremonies.

Bill Nye at the Skating-rink.

Those who know me best, and people who
have noticed my graceful carriage, say they
would go farther to see me skate than any
other professional rinkist they ever saw
rink. Many claim they never saw skater
fall down and hurt himself with more gen.
uine pleasure.
When 1 get on roller skates somehow
people lose all interest in the administra-
ton of everything else. People would walk
four miles to see me come out in the rink
with my new costume and kill myself. do
not say this egotistically to myself, but
say it because it is true. Friends have come
to me and told me.
And still there is nameless fascination
about er-skating. Though the owners
of the rink will not allow me to skate while
other people ale in the building, love to
go and watch the skaters and hold their
shawls while they skate, or hold their hands
and feet while they are in repose. I love
to buckle young lady's skates on her fair
young feet. 1 love to linger over them and
chat with them--the young ladies mean
and ask them if they are well, and how
their mother is feeling, and if they do not
think we are having backward spring.
am an easy and very fluent converse
tionalist, having moved in some of the very
best society, and thus acquired small talk

LAZY-MAN'S MARK.

A man may be humble and poor,
You may dress him in rags If you choose,
The rim of his hat may be torn,
His feet may be out of his shoes:
All this can freely forgive,
And gladly I'd furnish him meat,
Unless chance might perceive
That his pants were worn out in the seat,
1 know of no healthier sign
BY which we can judge of man,
At least, tits hobby of mine,
1 use it whenever 1 can.
OF course, might make mistake
And take good man for beat,
But then no distinction 1 make
fhis pants are worn out in the seat.
A man that is ready to move
Whenever stern duty doth call,
The truth of my hobby will prove,
He's never found sitting at all.
His clothes may be worn to thread,
His shoes may drop off of his fest,
Be minus hat for his head,
His pants will be whole in the seat.
Exceptions, there may be few,
And name them think that can.
The tailor and cobbIer are two,
The third is the newspaper man.
These three consider exempt,
For they are born tired and poor,
All others deserve your contempt;
Then drive them away from your door.

MUST PAY FOR THE PAPER.-It is not
generally known that a man who refuses
to pay for his newspaper can be prosecuted
like an ordinary criminal or thief. A New
York paper has begun suit against several
delinquent subscribers under the United
States Postal Laws, which says, 'the talk
ing Of newspaper and refusal to pay for
the same renders person liable to crimi-
nal prosecution as a thief, and person
guilty of the same can be punished as if he
had stolen goods to the amount of the sub

The morning republican organ Of Wash

mills of the North is an incurable one
they are too far away from the cotton
fields" Right at last. And if the tariff Oh
cotton goods, which alone enables the North
elm manufacturers of such goods to carry
on business, were reduced, those manufact-
urers would move their plants South, and
thus avoid the ''incurable troubles" incl
dent to their own section. 1t is the same
way with the iron industry, the natural ia
cilities for the manufacture of iron being
infinitely greater in the South than in the

With the universe for vestibule
And the stars for hat-pegs high;
And in the workshop of Good Luck
thought to find employ,
While I gossiped with the Infinite
Through the telephone of JOY.
Yet the stars are just as tar away
AS though I'd never sung;
And the Infinite seems somewhat deaf
To the music of my tongue.
But a measly cold is on nj y chest
AS a tribute of the spring,
And to lie in bed while my shirt is washed
Is a blamed unpleasant thing.
Washington Hatchet.
