Visit to New York chlnatown.

My first visit tO our New York Chinatown fascinated me, and have since been there many times, and l like the Chinese They are clean, respectful and wonderfully polite. The much vaunted politeness of the French man k nowhere besides the genuine courtesy of the Chinese. Of course they have their vices. They are inveterate gamblers. and opium is everywhere. Almost every China man owns his own Hay out, {" and the smell of the burning drug Is m every house. But I don't know that 1t Is any worse than our much moro frequent whisky bottle It does not certainly engender 30 many fights, and when a Chinamsn does fight he doss not do much damage, unleSs he uses knife. In this, as in everything else, the Chinaman is creature of habit
 The Chinese manner of fighting is to grab each others pigtail with the left and hammer away with the right; when be tackles short haired man he is nowhere; his left hand goes clawing wildly around the back of his oppo- nent's head, and failing to catch the pigtail, be seems not Co know what to do with his right When we remember that it is the very lowest class of Chinese which have come to this country, 1t is remarkable how well they behave. One custom, however, gives an insight into the Chinamans character Confucius said: @WhosOever giveth a cup of tea tO him who asks hath done a good act, which shall be remembered in the time of trouble" No charge Is made for tea in the restaurants and in tho barber's shop, the grocery stores, the gambling houses, and the opium denS A pot of tea stands always ready for any who choose to drink.-Allan Forfnan in Cleveland Leader

MT. ConkIInr and HI. Pr.etIee.

Mr COnkling pays no attention tO politics He rarely cOnverses on political topics with even his most intimate friends. His thoughts arc concentrated on the practice of his pro fession, and he is rapidly accommodating a fortune. He is the pink of neatness, but he is neither expensive nor extravagant in his tastes and habits. never saw him in a cnb, and have seen him only once in horse car. He usually walks tO bis office and from there to the court room Not lcng ago I saw hln rush into a beer Saloon, drink foaning lager, and re-ale himself at the free lunch counter It was to save timo, not money. A fortune secured. he may, like Gen Gordon, O. GeOrgia, re-enter the political lists and make New York politics more lively than it has been male since the days of SllAs Wright New York Letter.

In England they now have a special breed of goats for the dairy, and an association has been formed, the best animals registered in flock book, and general improvement determined on. In fact, an illustration of Q celebrated dairy goat, recently appearing in an English paper, showed such a capacity of udder as to compare fayOrably with some COWS now in our dairies. And why should not the goat bc given a useful place among our domestic animals, If 1t can bs SO im- proved as to give large quantities of milk, it will largely contribute to the assistance of those who havo no facilities for keeping a COW, while their proliicacy will place them within the reach of all
 The she goat somtimes gives as much as six quarts of milk, if they are superior milkers, and the milk is not only rich in cream, but in all the clements that form a complete food Butter k not made from goats milk, but some of the richest and best favored cheeSes are produced from it. We predict that ere long We will begin to import strains of good milking goats from Europe.-Farm, Field and StOckman.

TIE democrats are not asking the sut- frsges of the eople for theIr csndidstes upon the ground of qualification; they appeal to ihe sympathy, 10 the passions and to tbe ouridity of corrupt msnir- ulators, to accomplish . nefsrIous pur- pose. They are hungry for office and there are no methods too corrupt Tor them to use to reach the goal of thsir ambition. Wehsve shown how wHntonly they abuse theIr brief power, even while they are ou their best behavior. and We can faintly imagine what petty despot- ism would result from their perpetustioD in office. Voters should look solely to the qualifications of the candidates for local offices, and select the very best men Tor the performance of the duties of the position.

TIE PEOPLES CnnIcr-

Perhaps it will not be out of placs to speak of the record of Mr. A. B. Samp- son, the republican nominee for county recorder, inssmuoh as the voters want tO know something about the men they intend to entrust with the public af- fairs for the next two years.
 He was born at Washington, Mass.. on June II, 1857. In 1S45 he movej to Springfield, in the .ame state, whsre h. graduated from the High School. after wards learning the mschinist's trade. in the locomotive works of that clty. In 1855 he went to the Neosho River couu- try, ID Kansas, where he was engaged m farming and general business for five years. He started with a party for Pike's Peak, during the excitement of 1853, but the party disbsnded. In the following year, however. he reached bis destination, and worked there some time prospecting and mining. Going over to the Iowa mInIng district, he WAS there elected sherii, at miners meeting. be- lore any regular gov rnment organisa- lion had been effected.
 On the outbreak of ths war, in 1861. he joined Company F. Frs, Cavalry, at Denver. Col. The regiment was com posed O. infantry with exception of this one company. He saw active work vi,b his company in New Mexico. st the battles of Pigeons Rauche, or Gaviota, Peralta. and four yesrs' service agslnst Indians in ArIzoBs, New Mc1-co and . dorado
 He WAS mustered out O, inc servlce h January, 1865 and stsried in Aprll of th7t year with q tesm of oxen and small stock of goods, for the gold mines of Montana, travelling slore, through country alive with ho,tiie Indians. He commenced business at Helens, Mon tlns, then a small place Of l5O0 inhsbi tants, aud vss yer: successful, but a. he was suffering from severe bronchial affection, he sold out in May, lS5s, and le:t for tbe east, travelling through the eastern states and C .nAia recovering nis he.l.h. In Novembs-, 1870. h. went tn San FrancI5eo. where he carried on 6 large fancy goods business for eight years, employing a number of han6s. On account of the dnlness of trsde II San Francisco he came to Tucson five years ago, in February, 1879, the ter minus of the railroad being then jus this side of Yuma. His first start in business in this city wss in a small ws. on Meyer street. By stric: attention t business and square dealing, he built uI one of the bes. known wholesale and re.ail tobacco establishments on th' coast.
 He sold out his business and was elected two years sgo County Recorder. receiving nearly 500 majority.

About the "Jolliest" Dissipation Known
 to the Fashionable World.
 There is one English fashion which the AnglO-maniacs have not yet succeeded in in- troiucing in New York, said the European buyer of large silk house a few days ago, and that is summing. In London, visiting the sluns Is believed to be about the iolliest and most fetching dissipation known to ths world. The subject has been the butt of the comic weekly artists of London for some months now, and no wellregulated member of society can afford to miss a summing party during the season
 They do it up in great shape over there, you know. An Englishman must dress for every expeSiition, no matter whether it is a trip to Africa or 6 walk to the corner. In summing women run to cloaks and men to long coats These outer garments are be- heved to ward off disease, though exactly how they do it when the wearers breathe the foul air of the slums is difficult to imagine When they return to the house of their hostess or chaperune the young people all throw off these wraps in the passage, and the wraps ars aired by the servants and returned by mes senger the following day. A supper, more or les elaborate, follows the 'slum,' as theexcite- msnt makes all hands hungry and talkative. Thers are always two policemen with the party, and, as a rule not more than five or six people go along. London tramps are lia- bls to prove surly and ill-tempered when their homes are invaded.
 ~The party starts from the hosteSs' house in carriages at II o'clock or perhaps midnight. although that is pretty late, and drive to the heart of the London slums. Here they wander through the quarters of the poor, the outcast and the lost ones of the great town. pushing their way into rooms where drunken louts, rspulsive women and scraggy and un- kempt children lie sleeping like so many worms in a bait box They go everywhere. for the police do not recognize the rights of any cf the paupers, and bang their way ruth ls>Ssly ahea1 The high born men and women gaze upon their dirty fellow creatures, visit their opium dens, their drinking places, dance hals-or, rather, cellaTs-and invade their living rooms When they've had all their stomachs and eyes will stand they return tO their supper It never occurs to them, of course, that the cost of one such meal as they discuss would lift mountain Of misery and woe from the hacks O: the poor they have just visited Philanthropy k not a proper fad now across the water.
 -Is there no summing in New York-
 ~Oh, occasionally parties of men send down to police headquarters and secure the services of detective for q trip through Baxter, Mul- berry and Mott streets; but summing Is not recognized as a fashionable amusement" New York Sun.
