Roosevelt Pages-then become the
Shelly Psges-married five OF the
York Pages, aud from them is Thomas
Nelson Psgs descended. The Nelson
house at Yorktown is a solid brick
pile, not nearly SO imposing as Rose
well-merely a country gentleman's
house, according to the modest and
primitive idea OF the time.
But the Nelson's show with pride
ragged hole in the substantial mason-
~, made by cannon fired by no
other band than that OF Gen. Nelson
himself, the revolutionary hero. Dur
ing the siege Of York the Nelson
house afforded great protection to the
British sharpshootern, and the
AMERICAN aUNNERs
hesita.ed before demolisbing it. Sec
ing this, Gen. Nelson stepped up, and
Fighting the gun himself, deliberately
touched it of, and the shot crashed
into his house. "There, my men,"
cried he, II will give q gold guinea for
every shot that strikes that house"
This old gentleman, like Gov. Psge,
died bankrup', but so long as they
lived magnifcently they cared not
how they died. The Chevalier de
Chastelleux, q friend OF Lafayette's
who visited Virginia soon after the
revolution, paid visit TO Gen. Nelson
at the Nelson house. He wToie enthu-
siastically OF the refinement and hos
pitality OF the family and their free
dom from drinking and gambling and
popular vices OF the day.
Nobody could say that the Pages
borrowed trouble. Toward the last,
when debtors were making ready to
sweep down on them, the Mrs. Page,
who bad twenty.one children and
great taste for gayeiy beside, used 10
boast that she never stayed awake
night in her life with her numerous
brood, and putting her diamonds in
her pocket would step into her coach
and drive off to balls and barbfcues as
happy as queen. She sang beauti.
fully, and to the very last retained her
beauty, her sprigntliness and her
charming voice. The day came at
lest-more than fifty years sgo-when
the Psges had TO leave Roswell, after
having uhHIhlutu UhTOnlHl bJHIb bueT6
for nearly a hundred and fifty years.
The old people who remember that
cad procession toward Shelly, say 1t
was piteous TO see the old negroes, the
superannuated horses, the worn out
farming implements-all the memo
ris's Of great establishment gone to
decay. But after being relieved Of the
incubus Of Roosevelt, the Pages pros
pertd. Shelly, which was just across the
creek was, originally called Werewo-
comico, and was the favorite residence
OF KirgPow Haitian, but the name
was inconvenient, and 1t was rechr st.
ened Shelly, from the piles OF oyster
shells on it's shore. This was reported
TO be due to custom OF the Psgee,
which was to have oyster soup for
dinner every day in the year. as ID
was like feeding a garrison, in the
course Of time very respectable ram

the noble York River oysters Rose-

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
THREATENED RETALIATION.


The New York "NIail and EX-
press" of Feb. % publishes the fol-
lowing interview with Ching Hoy,
the Chinese Consul in that city,
based upon st. Louis despatch
saying that the Chinese Imperial
Government contemplate retaliatory
measures on account of the treat
ment accorded to Chinese subjects
am advised that an Imperial prOcla-
nation has been issued compelling
all Cinnamon in this country to re-
turn home, but | can say that the
Consul-General at San Francisco has
sent notices advising all Cinnamon
TO leave. Whether the Government
is back of this | cannot say. As to
the suggestion of retaliation, | have
no doubt that measures of this
kind will be taken by our Govern
ment. If the Chinese are driven
out and outraged here, why cannot
our people drive out all Americans
from China? The good name of this
country has been disgraced by the
recent outrages, and the question
becomes very serious. There is no
protection to Cinnamon at all, but
American merchants and mission
aries are well treated in China, and
the Government takes prompt
action, not only paying damages,
but redressing the wrong done.
What / do not understand is why
the good people of the East here re-
main silent. 1t certainly was not
the intention of Congress that mcr-
chants and others should be treated
in this way. If nothing is done the
commerce between the two countries,
amounting to $4,000, 900 annually,
will be destroyed. p"

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, on
Feb. 26 delivered a speech on the
bill recently introduced by him to
provide for the abrogation of all
treaties permitting the immigration

Coast were to-day suffering from
the presence of large numbers of an

race. Impending over them and
gradually extending Eastward, the
cloud of wrath and evil imperiled
labor, prosperity, peace-even life,
also. TO eradicate the scourge,
heroic treatment would be necessary.
A more decided and aggressive
Governmental step than had YET
been taken would be necessary
The means of relief could not pro.

treaty stipulations with the Chinese
Government. Neither could we eX

stance, quoting statistics of our
commerce with China in support of
his contention. Mr.. Mitchell, in
conclusion, showed the definite nature
of his bill, that left no chance of its
validity being destroyed by depart
mental or judicial decisions, and
said: The conflict that is waged on
this subject of the Asiatic occupa-
tion of this country is as irrepressibIe
as the conflict that resulted in the
overthrow of human slavery. 1t is
a conflict for supremacy on Amer-
can soil, between the intelligent,
enlightened and honest American
laborer and the cheap and degraded
laborer of the lowest order of mon
gol. 1t is conflict between moral
ity and vice, order and anarchy,
Americanism and Asiatics, a con-
llict between civilization and heathen-
ism, christianity and paganism,
conflict between two opposing forces
in all essential particulars, non-as-
similating and repellant, when CON
sidered in the relation of one to the
other, and one or the other which
must and will ultimately and neces-
sarily be driven to the wall. Nor does
it require any peculiar prescience to
determine the result of the contest,
if the United States Government
either stands supinely by and does
nothing or, what is but little more
effective for good, simply attacks
the advancing army of invaders
with wooden swords and paper bul-
lets under the pretense of conform
ing to treaty stipulations and sus'
tanning diplomatic relations.
