LETTER FROM CULPEPER.

MITCHELL's STATION, May S.-This sec.
ton of country has just been favored with a
most glorious rain, and although the wind
blew perfect gale for about twelve hours,
threshing the blooms from some fruit trees
and the young fruit from others, still the
great benefits conferred by the rain more
than offsets any damage done by the wind
and light hail.
The fact that Mr.. James B. Lewis could
not get his liquor license renewed here is no
test as to local option, AS the merits OF the
case appeared to depend upon the existence
of either the bar room at or the Mt. We'll

lasting about three hours, the game stand

States, and treating of the Industrial financial
and politica! condition of that section of this
country, in which he aims to hasten the restora-

the North and South, thereby increasing the
prosperity Of both. The Colonel thinks there
will soon BE turn in the tide of immigration
from the West to the South, and that Northern
capital must in short time seek investment at
the South. These letters. when they first ap-
peared, were received with favor and read with
pleasure by az interested in the welfare Of the

A wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses as an antidote TO malarial
maladies, was once dangerously COM
mon. Happily this practice has under
gone a wide reform. Not only the pub
lie, but professional men have adopted,
not wholly, of course, but largely, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters as safe botan-
ic substitute for the pernicious aka
loid. The consequences of this change
are most important. Now fever and
ague sufferers are cured formerly their
complaints were only for the time re-
lieved or half cured-the remedy event
ually failing to produce any appreciable
effect, except the doses were increased.
A course of the Bitters, persistently fol.
lowed, breaks up the worst attacks and
prevents their return. The evidence in
favor of this sterling specific and house
hold medicine is of no ambiguous char
acter, but positive and satisfactory, and
the sources whence it proceeds are very
numerous.

The Chicago incident OF the twenty
five young ladies of the Madison
street Presbyterian Church, playing
at soap-bubbles with two hundred
and fifty Cinnamon, and "romping"
with them like children, in itself, of
course amounts to but little, and is
of only sufficient importance to pro-
woke a joke or excite a smile. But,
by way of illustration, it amounts to
much. 1t, and thousands OF other
like occurrences, prove the lamenta-
BILE ignorance and stupendous folly
of our Eastern friends in regard to
everything connected with Cinnamon
and the Chinese character. 1t is
well known here that the Christian
izing of the Chinese is, generally
speaking, a humbug. We venture
the assertion that there are not ten
so-called Christian Cinnamon in Cali
fornia (where Cinnamon have been
subjected to Christian influences for
thirty years. that have cut of their
cues, or could be induced by any
thing less than fear OF instant
death, to part with them. In China
the government is paternal and spir-
itual in its character. The Emperor,
like the Gear Of Russia, is the relig-
ious as well as temporal head Of the
nation. Their cue is a religious
badge, sign of their faithful adher-
ence 10 the religion of China, as well
as a mark of nationality. To cut ii
off or suffer il TO be severed from
their heads is an indubitable
proof of deadly apostasy to
both country and religion, the terrors
Of which no Chinaman, no matter
Los Angeles daily herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1884-1890, 1886-02-07
how mnoh he mar claIm 10 Be chrI..

how much he may claim 10 be Chris
tianized for the sake Of obtaining
employment and lettering his finan-
cial condition, dares 10 brave. Were
he TO renounee the sacred emblem Of
his cue, the ghosts OF his ancestors
whom Cinnamon Worship would
rise up en- masse in holy horror from
the long line Of cherished graves,
spread for thousands Of years all
over the fiowery Kingdom, to curse
and torment him relentlessly. Be-
sides this, what purported christian
Chinaman" Is there that when he re-
turns TO his own domicile does not
burn the saeriflcial taper to his
"Joss." Is there one In Los Angeles
that does not do SOP In addition,
this very feast which is known as
"Chinese New Years" and which
these Christian Chicago maidens were
helping these Christian Mongols TO
celebrate, is nothing but n pagan
festival Of purely religious character,
instituted and observed solely for the
purpose OF frightening off the devil
for another season, by means Of hor-
rid noises, the exploding Of bombs
and e-crackers, and other discord-
ant dins, along with heather in
carnations and weird sacrifices. No
true Christian would observe this
feast. But the wiley Asiatic Is lar
from being an imbecile. He under
stands his own interests rs we'll as
others do theirs. II is also well known
that Cinnamon detest Caucasians and
look down upon all "outside barba.
rians" as their interiors. In view Of
such episodes as that occurring at
Chicago, is it to be wondered at that
this is so? II $50 American men were
to visit some Chinese city, would any
twenty-five Chinese women make
such ninnies Of themselves over them ?
1t is not at all likely they would.
Even Chinawomen would probably
have more maidenly reserve and
womanly dignity. But OF course
nothing of the kind could have hap
pened in Chicago, II the 250 favored
ones had not been Cinnamon. Thus
we say that it is only one incident out
OF thousands tending TO show the NOR
bid state of the Eastern mind, gener-
ally, in regard TO the Chinese, and
which elevates those representatives
OF the arrested development of hui
manity into fetch Of worship, while
often denying, discarding and even
prosecuting the needy and deserving
Of their own people and race.

DAY DISPATCHES.

CLEVELAND, o., February 6.-The
transfer of the remains of the late Presi.
dent James A. Garfield has been under
consideration for some time, and this
morning Lieutenant Edwards and the
soldiers stationed at Garfield Post re-
paired to Lake View Cemetery for this
purpose. Beyond the undertaken and
press representatives no one else was
present. The casket containing the re.
mains of the dead rested in its usual pc.
sition in the vault and its shellac stained
sides presented natural appearance.
Wlthered flowers were there, and evi.
dences on every hand showed that the
illustrious dead was remembered by low
ing friends. The easket was not opened,
but was quietly placed in the sarcopha.
gus under direction of the undertaken.
The outer covering was then hermetic.
ally sealed and the remains were lost to
mortal view forever. The sarcophagus
was then returned to the vault, where
it will remain until the handsome monu-
ment which is to be erected in memory
of the honored dead is comp etc |.
The sareophagus is a work of art. ltis
Of solid Bronze metal, handsomely or.
namented and weighs 450 pounds. Tue
top is partially oval and massive. Han.
dies run along the sides and ends OF the
entire sarcophagus. 1t rests on four
lions feet, one at each corner, indicat.
ing strength. A handsome tablet of
superior Workmanship was placed n the
sarcophagus; it is six by fifteen inches;
on each end are letters; oak leaves and
acorns ornament the projections; in the
centre white lichon and calycanthus are
intertwined, giving a beautiful effect
The tablet was designed as symbolic OF
the dead President, symbolizing his love
of home by the lichens, his love of man
kind by the calycanthus, his purity by
the lily and his courage by the oak. The
cost OF the sarcophagus was $50, 900.
The military guard about the vault will
be continued until next June.
