The News From China.

SAN Francisco, February 25.-The
Steamer San Pablo arrived from Hong
Kong and Yokohama to day. China
papers announce the death of Gideon
Nye, United States Vice Consul at
Canton. He was the Oldest foreign
res ident in China, having been there
since 1888. He amassed fortune of
about $6,OOO,OOO aud afterwards lost
it all. At the time of his death he was
writing history of China's relations
with foreign powers.
Smallpox is spreading in Hong
Kong.
A few additional details are given
of the second disaster on the Yellow
river, which occurred December and
resulted in the drowning of three man
darins and over four thousand Chinese
laborers. The men were at work at
the time repairing the damage caused
by the previous floods and two thou,
sand bamboo RATS had been laden with
stones in order to form a breakwater,
but the RATS with all the people on
them were engulfed as soon as they
reached the middle of the river.
Great suffering is reported from the
flooded districts. Cold weather came
ou and the country was soon flooded
over, making it impossible for boats to
run. 1t is estimated that twenty thou
sand stacks of millet stalks will be
needed to stop the great gap, each
stack requiring fifty large carts tc
bring it to the spot. So far the ut
most exertions have not succeeded il
collecting more than thirty stacks {
day. Eight million ,aels have alrea !,
been expended on repairs.

HILLS Tribute to the President.

The Kings county, N. Y, Demo-
cratic club gave dinner in Brooklyn
recently in commemoration of the
birthday of Samuel ]. Tilden, Gov
ernor Hill, in the course of his eulogy
on Mr.. Tilden, said: "While the De
mocracy were very reluctant to part
with TTridsn's active leadership, they
proceeded 70 select new standard
bearer for the campaign of 1884 from
this state, to whom public attention
had already been favorably directed.
After nearly three years of successful
administration of public affairs 1t is
safe to assert that the Democracy and
the people of the county made no mis-
take in their choice. l cheerfully re
iterate what l said in substance about
year ago in this same place, that the
administration of President Cleveland
has been dignified, conservative, hon
est, and in the main satisfactory to the
people of the country. There may be
differences among the Democrats as to
the details relating TO the party man
agement and as to the entire manage.
Of some matters attempted, and as to
the details of some measures proposed,
but such differences among friends are
inevitable everywhere in government
politics and society in general" i"
This will be rather set back to the
Republican newspapers which have
been busily occupied IN getting up an
anti-C Cleveland movement in the Demo
cratic party, with David B. Hill as its
leader.

Rafting on the susquehanna.

SONS FOR THE DECLINE OF AN M

The Lancaster Ne,o Era says: A
reporter this morning met one of the
Oldest river pilots Of Marietta and
asked him what the prospects were of
a good rafting season this Spring. In
reply he said that they were none too
encouraging, though he thought more
RATS would come down the river than
last year, when about three hundred
descended the stream. Not over 1870
of these, however, passed Marietta 10

consequence the business secured by
the Marietta pilots was rather insignif.

ness on the Susquehanna, once OF
mammoth proportions, has been grow
ing smaller, until now it is of little
benefit to Marietta aud other towns
along its banks, which once did flour
ishlng business on account of il. Great
corporations own most of the timber
land of the north country and instead
of bringing it down the river in the
form of RATS it is sawed into lumber
either where cut or at some saw mill
on the upper waters of the big stream
and then shipped by rail to the mar
kets Of the east. In few years the
great forests on the upper waters of
this noble stream will be gone, and
rafting on the Sasquehanna will only
be remembered In tales and legends.

DEATH OF UNION VETERAN WITH 4
ROMANTIC HISTORY.


A special from Findlay, Ohio, says /:
DIR. ID. May, who died in this city Fri
day morning, was man who had even
a more remarkable experience than
Tennyson's Enoch Arden. lie was a
prasticing physician in Fairfield county
this State, prior to the war Of the Re
bellion, and had a wife aud two chill
dren whom he left in 1861, to join the
Union army. He was with Rosencrans
at Stone river, and on the second day
of the engagement was taken prisoner
and sent to Andersonville. Not many
months afterward the report reached
his wife and children that he was dead,
and they mourned him accordingly for
year or more, when his wife married
again. In the meantime DR.. May was
exchanged, and the var being over
came North to join his family. Al
Columbus he accidentally heard for the
first time that he had long been con.
sidered dead and that his wife was
again married and liviuc happily with
her second husband, who was also tax
ing excellent care of the children OF
the first marriage. Here is where
Mays heroism came in. Sitting the
feeling of the husband and father, bs
determined that he would not disturb
the existing relation of things. II,
purchased ticket for the far Wes,
and for fifteen years buried himself
among the wild scenes of the brder
where he remained until bis wife died
in blissful ignorance of the fact tha
her first husband was yet among tn,
living. Upon the death of his wifi,
DR.. May returned to Ohio and mad,
himself known to bis children, one o.
whom, daughter, now living neal
Tiffin, has been at his bedside eve,
since his serious illness began, anc
lninistsred TO him until the hour oi
death, DIR. May was resident OF this
city for many years and was vel
known all over Ohio.
