sun Anethrr Chinese vice.

1t is a pity to turn the Chinaman out
just when he's beginning to benefit by
American civilization and shows signs OF
grasping the full value OF American pro-
ducts, including metaphor. The China
man has picked up a great many Ameri-
can habits, mainly the inexpensive ones,
and he is perhaps as cheap In copying
American vices as anything else, There
is one crying evil about the Chinese that
has not been fully awaited OF. He drinks
poor whisky-when he invests money. A
liquor-dcaler downtown was called upon
by n Chinaman who proposed to purchase
a mail stock Of whisky. Whether the
merchant vas especially honest or the
Chinaman was an expert this story does
not state. But, IN way, the liquor mer-
chant gave him some whisky to taste.
NO, no; me not likee,' said the China
man -Wanee some that other whisky,

Henry Durand. of Charleston, S. c., has
a mocking-bird hat Is known from Jack
sonville to Boston. The bird is probably
the finest singer in the south. He is not
only a fine singer, but a valuable adjunct
to a restaurant. The bird seems to know
when the dining-room Is filed with human
tenants, and upon such occasions he will
open his mouth n initiate a spring
chicken. The imitation is perfect, and
unless some one happens to spy the bird
and point him out everybody will begin to
look about for the coop of spring chickens.
The bird generally keeps up the imitation
until the cry Of spring chicken so sharpens
the appetite OF the tourists that they order
one. Out Of season n spring chicken
comes high, and when the tourist has paid
his bill and gone the bird is given a fresh
potato.-Chicago Tribune.

New strikes are announced in New
York and Chicago. In tho former city
the employees of the street railroads are
the parties engaged in the movement, and
in the latter the railroad switchmen. The
alleged cause of the action of the strikers
is the refusal Of the companies to discharge
non union men at the demand of repre-
seqtatives Of the labor organizations
This trouble, at least, cannot directly be
charged upon Jay Could, and shows that
the widespread discomfort among the
workingmen of the country has a deeper
seat than in general Indignation at the
course OF one man or Of one corporation.
Instead of being in any sense hostile to
each other, labor and capital are natural
allies with interdependent interests. and
neither can flourish without the others
aid. But capital can lie idle if compelled
to inaction by force OF circumstances. If
the threats Of the directors of the strike
should be carried into effect. and similar
movements inaugurated in all the large
cities, the consequence would be disas-
trous to every material interest of the
country and might possibly bring on q
financial crisis in business.

CHOLERA has again broken out in Italy.
and there isa general apprehension Of a
spread OF the plague throughout Europe.
The point attacked is Brindisi. a seaport
ofthe Adriatic on the main highway of
trade to the Leyant, and a port of cal for
the Austrian Lloyds line Of steamships.
This situation renders il not improb-
able that the epidemic is rather the result
Of fresh importation than n survival of
last years germs. France has already
established a rigid quarantine upon her
southern frontier and every effort Of sani-
tary science will be directed to prevent
the spread Of the discase.

STAGE REALISM.
REMARKABLE THEATRE PERFORM
ANcE IN DENyER'S EARLY DAY.

The ''si-ge Of Lucknow" Produced In Fine
styi.-rhs Night when the soldiers
Had the Hoase-rouohinE ON - loaded
Cannon.
AT Denver. In the winter OF 1873. tho
principal theater was run under the man
agement Of John Langrish. AT that time
some 5000 Union soldiers were stationed
there. The soldiers o great interest In
the theatre, and were its principal, or at
least It's most enthusiastic, patrons. Every
night the house was crowded-particularly
the gallery-with soldiers. To please the
boys In blue, Mr.. Lnngrish put on the
"Siege of Lucknow" Both men and officers
took great interest in the piece. They
were determined that it should be pro-
duced in fine style. The soldiers made a
lot of bombs to be used in the fort scene,
the officers allowed two cannon to be
brought to the theater for use in the fort
and about nifty men armed with muskets
volunteered to act as the attacking army
Of natives. For two or three DAYS previous
to the night when the piece was to be pre-
sented there were more soldiers at work
on the stage and about the theatre than
helpers OF any other kind. They bossed
all the warlike preparations.
II FIRING WAS TERRIFIC.
The great night came, and the soldiers
had the house. MOI only were they In the
gallery. but they also filed the seats and
the lower floor. Mrs. Iangrish took the
part Of Jessie Brown. When the attack
was made on the fort the firing was terrific.
Then bombs began to fall into the fort.
These were balls of yarn containing gun
power. In order to produce good effect
the reckless soldiers who mad these imita-

half a pound Of powder. They made a re-
port as loud as the largest China bombs.
The bombs made 1t mighty hot for poor
Jessie Brown. In less than half a minute
her dress was on fire In two or three places,
and everybody expected to see her beat q
retreat. But those with her in the fort
smothered her burning dress and she stood
her ground.
The superstition was, among the people
OF the theatre, that the annon was not
loaded. The printing of the pieces was to
be flashed, and a drum was TO be struck to
initiate the report. But some soldier had
slipped into one OF the cannon a cartridge
containing about two pounds of powder.
When those In the fort began to reply to
the fire of the attacking party this cannon
was touched of. and 1t blew a hole
through the side OF the theatre nearly
eight feet square This excited the soldiers
In front, and those in the gallery began
firing their r~evolvers up into the ceiling,
while those below turned loose into the
floor. In a few seconds the whole place
was 20 full OF powder-smoke that one
could hardly breathe or see. The lights
presented the appearance OF street lamps
seen through a dense fog. The excuse tina
the soldiers afterwards made for Kidding
the floor aud ceiling was that all was 50
much like a real battle that they forgot
where they were, and so began firing be-
fore they realized What they were about

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
Tho administration Of President CleSe-

authority, will in all essential particulars
bear comparison with that Of his most
illustrious predecessor. Acceding to
Office as the candidate OF a party long
unused to power and clamcrsus for II

the wisdom TO feel his way among the
difficulties of his position and o consider
carefully before adopting any line of ac-
ton. Deliberation was not the quality
deemed by politicians most desirable in a
dispenser Of patronage, and Investigation
implied a monstrous innovation not to be
endured without protest. Hence his
course in removals and appointments has
mot with adverse criticism from many of
his own party though meeting the warn
support of its great leaders and the hearty
approval of the masses of the people.

where its source could not at once be de-
tected in personal disappointment The
