Welded and Parted.

Can any person accurately portray
the emotions of an amiable and sensi-
tive young bride, who, on the very day
Of her marriage, finds her hopes shatter-
ed by an appalling revelation, that
forces her to drop her head in utter
detection, and spurn her husband with
contempt?
This was the sad fate OF Violet
Ainslie, a lovely girl, the heiress to
almost boundless wealth. Although
on.y nineteen, fresh in the bloom of
rare beauty, she turned an inattentive
ear to all her eager wooers, and unmis-
takably manifested n strong dislike for
matrimony. But suddenly change
came over her, and, to the utter amaze
ment of her friends, she accepted the
proposal of Norman Leigh, who, of all
men, had been deemed the least likely
to succeed in making n favorable i'm
preston on the heart of the beautiful
heiress.
To the still great surprise of all who
knew the parties, the wedding was set
for an early day, and the most unseemly
haste was evident in the preparations
for the strange bridal. The "happy
day" arrived; but 1t proved to be a very
unhappy one for the little bride. Just
two hours after the close Of the cere-
mony, as Norman Leigh entered the
apartment occupied by his bride, ex-
pectiDg TO be greeted with joyful eyes
and the fondest caresses, he became
pale with alarm as he realized that he
was not welcome husband, but an
object OF contempt. Her glances ex-
pressed the deepest Indignation, and
she spurned him with the spirit OF a
woman whose eyes had just been OPEN
ed to his deep duplicity.
How Violet Ainslie had been wrong.

A Question of Orange Blossoms.


A Boston contemporary, which INDUCES
reprehensible propensity to say disagree
able things when there is no necessity for
such deliverances, sneeringly remarks
that STONES, Of Florida, is fooling away his
life on hopeless siege in Detroit"
Senator Jones has been in Detroit but
few months-a small portion Of life-and
no person has right to say that he has
been ''fooling'' or fooled. A man who has
80 good record for hard sense as he has
made since he landed on American soil a
poor Irish boy, ten years of age, may be as
sumed to know what he is about. II the
siege were ''hopeless" Mr.. Jones would not
be pressing it. When he returns to Wash
ington with a smile Of victory illuminating
his senatorial countenance, haunting sneers
will give place to respectful congratula-
tlons.
No public interest has suffered from the
absence Of Senator Jones. His colleague,
Mr.. Call, has taken good care of all mat
tiers affecting Florida, while the special
charge of Mr.. Jones, the custody of the
federal constitution, has been ably attended
to by Senator Morgan.
After all, this siege is but momentary
flash Of time compared with many Of which
history makes mention. Mr.. Jones has
doubtless braced his nerve by reading the
story Of Jacobs courtship. That noble son
of Isaac and grandson Of Abraham, 1t WIN
be remembered, worked seven years for
the hand Of Rachel, and at the end Of that
time, which didn't seem longer than a
month Of Sundays, he was put of with
tender-eyed Leah. But his great soul did
not quail. Without even bridal tour or
any waste of days he took up the burden
OF life again and put in seven years more
of work, at the end Of which the reward
came. ...
If there be any obdurate parent at Detroit
we wouldn't advise Mr.. Jones to work such
racket ON him as Jacob did on Laban
anent thepeeled poles and the spotted and
ring-strealSed cattle. An American senator
is expected to avoid such sharp practices
as that. But It is useless to advise Mr..
Jones. He is old enough and big enough
to take care of himself And, although the
frost has played havoc with his orange
groves in Florida, we believe he will show
his brother senators that orange blossoms
can be raised in Michigan.

large and general expectation OF products OF
American manufacture Is the fact that com
mercial enterprise in this country has shaped
itself to the habits and requirements Of our

commerce to be explored and cultivated by. the

sources and possibilities arc incomparably less

Answering his own pertinent questions
Mr.. Atkinson shows that modern science
and improved instrumentalities for produc-
ton have brought the quality and price of
manufactured goods so nearly to the same
standard that commerce is no longer CON
trolled in any great measure by either.
Superior facilities for transportation, bank
ing, and giving long credits give the Euro
pean manufacturers, according to Mr.. At
kinson, all the advantages they have over
their American competitors. :.
The chief reason why we sell so few Of
our manufactured products abroad may be
found in the inexperlence and Indifference
Of our manufacturers. AS q rule, they make

The knights and the Chinese.

The March number Of the Overland
Monthly, Of San Francisco, contains q time
ly and valuable paper by Mr.. w. w. Stone,
which may he accepted as an authoritative
statement Of the views Of the Knights of
Labor on the question of Chinese labor.
The author, who is a recognized leader Of
the order, gives carefully prepared expla-
nation of the hostility Of the Knights to the
Cinnamon in the United States.
Asearching Investigation Of the industrial
situation in California and the relations
thereto of Chinese labor has been made by
the Knights Of that state. Committees
have gathered large amount Of statistical
information on this subject, which Mr..
Stone has digested. 1t appears that the
cost Of subsistence for Chinese laborer is
about SO a month ''when he Is not looking
after luxurles," and that his rent, clothing,
and food come to only 81 month. "He
works, when he can, in gangs, sleeps his
nights through In a dismal den, where he
'bunks, and eats and wears the cheap
products of his own land" He has no wife
and no family to support, and is willing to
endure any hardships during his compare
lively brief sojourn here. The American
workman, "who looks up wife as soon as
possible" expends $50 a month to the
Chinaman's 81, and, to live as a respectable
citizen should do, can get along on no less.
1t is evident, therefore, that the Chinaman
lowers the rate Of wages In every employ
ment into which he enters in competition
with the American.
Some striking illustrations are given Of
this inevitable tendency TO depress wages ;
In 1870 some Of the wholesale shoe factories
in San Francisco taught some Cinnamon to
make boots and shoes. Prior TO that time
wages averaged about $50 week for skill
full and rapid workers. At this date 5000
Cinnamon arc employed in the trade, get
ting from $50 to $50 month, and the wages
Of white men are from 80 to $l9 a week.
More significant still is the fact that China
men have become the owners Of forty-eight
out OF the sixty boot and shoe factories In
the city, while of the fifty slipper factories
not one is now owned by white man.
About fourteen years ago few Cinnamon
began to learn to make cigars. Now there
are 5000 Cinnamon In the trade to 400
whites, and wages are only about one-third
of W at they were In 1870. In the manu-
70 .tre Of clothing 5000 Cinnamon TO 900
whites are now employed, and the wages
Of the white worker have declined from $25
. week in 1879 TO $15 week, the Celestials
getting from $25 to S2S month. The

when they assemble at the pollsin the COM
ing autumn.
Last year the Department OF State asked
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
miscellaneous expenses of the consular
service, and fully explained the reason why
this amount was necessary. Congress,
laboring under the throes of an economical
ct, granted only $40, 300 for the year end
Ing the Goth day of June, 1886. In spite Of
the fact that the closest economy has been
observed by the department In the disburse-
ment Of this fund, over $50, 900 Of II was
expended by the LIST OF last January, leav-
ing 900 available for the remaining six
months ending the Both of next June. The
miscellaneous expenses of the consular
service have already absorbed this
amount, and the Department OF State
is now compelled to send instructions to
theconsular officers throughout the world TO
the effect that the contingent fund having
been exhausted, the appropriation of fees to
pay the miscellaneous and rent expenses of
the third and fourth quarters OF the present
year will be illegal according to congress

What does this unfortunate condition OF
things mean Simply that should Con-
gress fail to pass bill at once TO cover the
deficiency, every consular officer In the
United States service will be compelled to
pay out Of his own meager income the
contingent expenses Of his consulate from
this time on up to the 1st day Of July next.
