BY the silent forces Of general con-
sent the Mongolians In California are
fast going to the wall. The Americans
there are overhauling John Cinnamon on
every highway Of trade. The industries
which, by common consent, seemed to
nj yielded up to the Chinese
b snatched from them by a re-
! determination to force them out
,country by simply orowding them
The wall little closer until there is
no alternative for them but to close their
shops and return to the celestial empire
from which they came out. The Amer
leans are almost unit on the coast in
refusing to employ Cinnamon, or to deal
with Cinnamon, or to recognize them in
any way. By this course the profits of
trade are withdrawn as we'll as the
emoluments of labor, and the wealthy
merchants failing to secure their usual
custom are obliged to close business.
With their departure the shutting out of
the small fry Mongolians is only ques-
ton Of time

The Eight between Pinkerton's detec-
tives and the Lake Shore strikers prom
ises to be long and bloody. The detec-
tives and the leaders of the riots that
have folio wed the strike are at swords
points. A great deal OF murderous feel
ing has been engendered. and there are
reckless men among the rioters who
would sell their lives any day for bead
on detectives heart. This feeling
bodies very i'll for the peaceful solution
of the strike, and only intensilles the anX-
lety felt in all well-infOrmed circles con-
corning the outcome OF the hostile atti-
tudes assumed by corporations and their
laboreTs. The end is not yet, and unless
some general measures of accOmmoda-
ton are soon reached this whole coun-
try will see a conflict between monopoly
and labor that will paralyze its indus
tries, ruin its trade, blockade its COM
merce and bankrupt its business.
SOME progress was made in the rail-
way meeting held last night. The sub
committees are all appointed. Their
names are presented in our local col
umns, with the form Of subscription pre-
sented Six thousand dollars have been
added since last report bringing the
present subscription up to $4,000. An
other meeting is called for Saturday
night. At the present rate it will take
Just one month to raise the needed $780,

committees. II every man will do what
he will wish one year from now he had
done there will be no trouble about
raising this 100000 in the ten days Of

am now teaching a. public school Of
twenty-one pupils in the central portion Of
Texas. | receive S35 per month, pay $40
for board, and walk half mile to school.
My school-house is q small country church,
situated in a grove on HILL Mt the foot of
which runs a beautiful winter creek, with
steep banks and pebbly bottom, very rest
full to the tired feet in the evening. My
term is for four months. The public school
system of this state is very fine. There
are large tracts of land, from which rev
enue Is derived besides the tax, which goes
into the fund. An examination and GER
titlcate are necessary before one can get a
situation, but the salary is adequate and
sure. II ranges from $50 to S75 per month.
This is a fine country not far from the
"Brazas BOTTOM The land is black, sticky,
and as fertile as Egypt Cotton is the
principal export Wheat does very well,
and everything produced anywhere else
can be raised here. One can see perhaps
hundreds of miles in every direction. The
air Is so pure that almost anything will
petrify.

small pebbles, some smooth as Ontario
stones; other ragged Indian arrows, pet
rified birds feet, etc, are found. The peo-
pie are strange, too. You enter modest
looking country home and see well-fur-
nished parlor, elegant piano, nicely bound
books, intelligent minds, and Christian
hearts. You are favorably impressed, and
think Texas is great state Travel half
mile, perhaps, and you enter hut that
you are ashamed to call by the holy name
of home. Here ignorance, vice, filth, and
disease meet you.
The climate of Texas is of the same
mosaic work. Perhaps it is clear, warm
day and you feel like putting on your
summer clothes, but wait a half hour; the
wind begins to howl and roar, and in an
hour ink, milk, and everything is frozen.
Happy are you If you are not in the same
unfortunate condition. Truly, Texas is a
great state. This is well timbered
country. Oak, ash, hickory, musquite,
and other kinds of timber abound. Pope's
head and sage's horn cactus grow wild
everywhere. Wolves howl around the
houses and are answered by the dogs. l

Louisiana 1t was necessary to have some

As little children gather round their

As little children gather round their
mother,
And beg her q familiar tale to tell;-
One that is dearer far than any other,
Because so often heard and known so
we'll;
And as they watch her, prompting should
she falter,
And any variation quickly see,
And cry, "Don't tell 1t 80, don't change
and alter.
We want itjust the way it used to be, =
So do we come. TO thee, o Nature-Mother,
And never tire Of listening to thy tales.
Tell us thy s~pring-time story now no
other.
That hath a wondrous charm, which
never fails.
Tell it with all the old-time strength and
glory,
Fill it with many a happy song and
shout;
Don't miss one bird or blossom in the story,
Don't leave one daffodiI or daisy out.
Tell us each shade in all the trees soft
greening,
Don't skip one blade of grass, one bee,
one wren,-
Each little thing has grown SO full Of
meaning,
In the dear story we would hear again.
o Mother Naturel thou art old and holry,
And wonderful and strange things thou
canst tell;
But we. like children, love the spring-time
story,
And think it best, because wo know it

Old Country Suspicious.

The country people of England are
suspicious of what they do not fully
understand. An amusing illustration
of this habit was given to the rector of
"a parish in Sussex, or the occasion OF
his marriage.
His parishioaers were kind enough
to make him a handsome present, the
sum being made up by subscription.
Some time afterwards, he was sur
prised and amused to learn that "a cur
rent criticism said 1t was "a curious
thing that our parton couldn't get mar
ried without sending the hat round for
money to pay his wedding expenses"
The parson, being a wise man, de-
duced from the criticism an additional
argument for the utmost publicity in
all money matters, in which be and
the parish were both interested.
"Ah, ma'am," said an incredulouS
cottager to a lady, a district visitor,
s'my son has been up to the North
Pole; he tells me some things that l
really can't believe, though he is my
son. lie tells me, ma'am, that he has
seen with his own eyes ice bugs as big
as a church."

through the papers some years ago. An
old woman, who united credulity and
incredulity in her habits of thought,
had a sailor sol. Once, when home
from a voyage, he told his mother of
the flying fish he had seen. "Tom,"
she replied. severely, "your mother
never brought you up to tell lies"
"Well, mother" said the graceless
rogue, knowing the old lady's habit of
mind, 1--WE once anchored in the Red
Sea. The next day, on hauling up the
anchor, we found it unusually heavy.
Judge of our surprise, when we got it
above water, to see hanging from one

''There, l can believe that. my son,
for the Bible tells us all about that
wicked king being drowned in the Red
Sea; but don't tell your mother any lies
about flying fish. for she won't believe
such stuff"
A more singular instance of perver-
sity in belief was that related of DR..
johnson, who, when informed OF the
awful Lisbon earthquake, p~ooh-poohed
at it as absurd. but he firmly believed
in the Cock-lane ghost story.
But DR.. Johnson, for a man of
learning, was remarkably superstitious;
and it IS a popularity of such people to
diSbelieve the causes Of ordinary nat
ural phenomena, while they have no
hesitation in giving credence to the
widest stories of a supernatural char
acter. 1t Is for this reason, in a great
measure, that what is called ''Spirltu-
alism" has developed so largely in mod
ern times. It's believers are mostly
among nennle of limited education.

The Next Orange Crop.

Three months ago the calamity liar
was spreading broadcast throughout
the country the statement that Florida
had been ruined, that the orange trees
were all dead, and that the then recent
freeze had practically wiped out one of
the States of the Union. BY the efforts
of the press and prominent citizens OF
the State the evil effects of these false
and injurious stories were to a great
extent averted. Within the State itself
deep depression gave place to buoyant
confidence, and assertions began to be
made to the effect that the orange trees
were not injured at all, and that next
seasons crop had not been d~isastrously
affected IN the least. Another reaction
from this feeling of buoyant confidence
is making itself felt. A number of
papers of the State are calling attention
to the fact that some of the blooms
which promised fruit, are falling from
the trees in several localities, and that
this means the loss of the next seasons
crop.
Before these stories are given a more
extensive circulation than they have
already had, we ask our esteemed CO.
temporaries of the State press to con-
slider for a moment a few points to
which we invite their attention.
In the first place next seasons crop
of oranges cannot now be estimated
with any degree of accuracy. 1t is
probably true that In some localities
the premature blooms upon which
prophecies of a large crop were based
a few weeks ago have fallen and thus
disappointed expectation. 1t is also
true that this is not an exceptional
occurrences; that more or less of the
blooms, from one cause or another,
fall from the trees almost every year,
and especially after every winter sea-
son in which there has been excep-
tional cold. 1t is also true that in
many portions of the orange belt
where the product of oranges is the
greatest the promise of blooms is being
amply fulfilled in fruit, and this fruit
is now upon the trees, subject to no
more chances and vicissltudes than
the orange crop is subject to every
year What proportion this actual
fruit bears to the fallen Blooms, or to
the average crop of the past few years,
it is not possible at this time TO form
an exact estimate Of; and certainly it is
not desirable, in the absence Of well
ascertained facts, TO make prognosti-
cations, the effect of which a only be
injurious to the orange growers and to
the business interests of the State.
