Too True.

The Chronicle Of Tuesday contains the account of the daring exploit of an individual by the name ef Hunter, vii" is the -secl !ary of "Socictx for the Prevention T Crutfy to Clii'- dren," in the rescnr of sixtcen-year- old Chinese proStitu:e' from the b,gniu of a Chinese alley, where for three years she had been plying her un- willing vocation. The account, as told by the Chronicle. contains the element of a romantic ballad, or it might, perhaps, do for one of those touching Sunday-schnul romances that now flood the land, if for its tell ing there can be found fitting lan- guage, and if from it there eau be drawn q oral. A Miss Culbcrton, of the Chinese Mission, informs Mir. Hunter, "the secretary" of the pain iul fact that this Asian maid of the biased eyes is caged prisoner of the alley. The secretary, with the chiv- alric impulse of knight errant or Lroubadour, jumps into his hired [ hack, AS Don Quixote would have i mounted his Rosinante, and plunges to the rescue of the sorrowing damsel lorn in grief. Safely she borne away on tine wings ef-of-. We must drop the simile of knight or trouba- | dour. She WAS run off in hack by Hunter, and taken to the Chinese Mission, on Sacramento Street, near 1 Stockton. And Eow the question with us is; "What is Mr. Hunter go ing to do with th.s Asian thing" What will the Society for the Proven tisn of Cruelty to Children do with this woman of the Orient, who comes from caste>of crime, belongs to Il guild of prostitutes, who has been reared by her parents for a career Ci infamy, snd been soil by thsm for coin 10 life cf shame? What will they do with this sixteeE-ycar-old harlet, who knows no work, Is accus- toned To no lU.l, who is capable If no in iustricus pursuit., for whom there 1 i. nc place in our ciYilizAtiun: How ] w:ll the socirty, or secretary, the | Chinese Mission, or A:iss Culterton disIsoac c: this woman who has tor : three yeurs piled her vocation, and for pne entire year been wina0w- tapping haIl0t iii d Chinese alley?
 | Are We to hear that some months since she has been married 10 some white man, some rrliatle young christian! This thing has repeatedly been done hy Ms O.is Gibson, fran his mission house. This shameful and disgusting end has been the ter imitation of mere than one of these "rcscucs," If we are to believe tl.e newspapers. We do not kuow what has been the outcome of any uf these "tilthy concubinages," nor how much of domestic happiness has resulted
 from this Christian and barbarian
 miecegenation. We have some re-
 spec. for the christian fireSidc, for tie sacred place called "homr," for the domestic altar, where at night or morn ths rious father, the christian .ino:her-;he pure, loved, and honorcd mothcs-Enecl with their children and teach them to pray, and, by their prccepts and their examples, guide them along the paths of usefulness; i; bat 70 have no knowledge of that hy
 brid and unnatural family that has for it's father a soft headed, pious fraud, who, through passion and fervor of religious sentiment, was induced 10 mate himself with chinese harlO!; and yet he is to be excused and pitied ir comparison with the male and fe- male conspirators wko affect to think they are doing Gods service by this vile prostitution of every sentiment that is human, decent, American, or Christian. We commend to these pious fanatics and humanitarians run
 crazy, to the Society for the Preren- tion of Cruelty to Children, to the l Chinese Mission, and Miss Culbsrtson, the poor, destitute, tempted, neglect ed girls born in our land, of ouI own
 white racc-daughters of eur neigh bors, who are standing at the very mouth of this pit, on the very edge of this moral gulf, from which they have l attcmDted 2 rescue. Let them know
