AFTER THE CHINESE.
Mitchell and Stewart in Support of Anti
Chinese Legislation.

fCopyi9ht, 1883, by the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 10th. - Senator
Mitchell, if he can obtain an opportunity,
will deliver speech on his Chinese bill to-
morrow. Senator Stewart at the same time
expects TO speak on his resolution directing
the Secretary of State to negotiate new
treaty with China, excluding from this
country all persons excepting ambassadors
and persons engaged as merchants. Stew

PUTTING ON AIRS.
RY GRoRGE ". RrNaAr-

Refuse the civil "Yes" or "No,"
Decline to see me when you go
Along the street with "bulls" and "bears :"
Whatever else you choose to do,
Abstain from pstroniziAg airs.
Cut me direct upon the street;
Look down upon me when we meet
Let others see who proudly stares.
Discr0wn me not, while suaye and sweet,
With soft and patronizing airs.
There may be times when all may need
The friendship of the friends indeed,
To help us lift life's load of cares;
But hearts had better break and bleed,
Than pulse with patrOnizing airs.
He does not act the role of friend
Who thinks that he must condescend,
And stoop to aid in my affairs:
He mocks me with the bow and bend
That come of patronizing airs.
The social status one attains,
With well earned or ill.gotten gains
or gold, and lands, and bonds. and shares,
Will be defiled with vulgar stains
When he shows patronizing airs.
They have been those who helped the poor,
Who brought light about the door,
They aided angels unawares.
God blessed their basket and their store
TheT~had no patronizing airs.
Are we not all on earth akin?
The best ami whitest touched with sin?
For with the wheat will grow the tares.
Oh, proud aAd vain, just look within,
And cease all patr0Dizing airs.

The Presence Of Death.
New York Graphic.

Here Ia an interesting story which
shows how cool man can be In the
presence Of death:
One day during the latter part of
the war DIR. Willis Westmorelsnd was
dressing the wound of q soldier who
had been shot In the neck near the
carotid artery.
Suddenly the blood vessel gave way
and Just 70 quickly the surgeon thrust
his finger into the hole to stop the
flow.
"Doctor," said the soldier, "what
does that mean?"
at means DEATH" said the surgeon
calmly.
How long can I liver" asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly
clear. ~
"Until l remove my finger" said
DR.. Westmoreland.
The soldier asked for pen and paper,
wrote his will and an affectionate let
ter to his wife, and when the last thing
was done, said quietly:
"Let IL CO."
The surgeon withdrew his finger,
the blood rushed out, and soon the
man was dead.
The brave fellow was buried In Oak
land and ever since DIR. WestmoreIand
has gone on Memorial day and placed
flowers on the grave. This year when
Memorial day came the doctor was 1T
Salt Springs. he left the seems OF
gayety, came to Atlanta, and carried
his tribute Of flowers to the grave OF
one who was calm and brave In the
presence Of death.

Not unfrequently the dull boy be-
comes Q great man. Young Walter
Scott was low down In his class, his
teachers did not think mucl, Of him a.
n scholar: but his schooimates clus-
tered about him to listen TO his strange
stories, and he became the author OF
"Waverly" and "Marmion.1 No one
should be called dull until, having
had the opportunity Of coming TO the
front, he has remained In the rear.
Havelock waited thirty years for his
opportunity--tben the march 10 the
relief of Lucknow showed him TO be
great soldier.
Sir Henry Lawrence did not make
rapid progress at school or college.
He was always asking the reason Of
things, and would halt until no could
sce the causes Of effects.
The habit Of de!.hesatioH prevented
him from running through his text
books ~ rapidly ~ did his ieiiows,
but It tended TO make him the great
statesman and the great soldier whose
courage and judgment helped 10 save
India TO the British crown.
One night, In Lord Hardlnge's camp,
Henry Lawrence turned 10 his brother
John and said: ADO you thisk We
were clever a. ladsf don't think we
were"
Both boys were bad In languages,
and were not good In anything which
required = technical memory. But
they were excellent In everything that
demanded thought and Judgment.
Such lads could not shine at . school
where memory and linguistic ability
brought marks; they had TO wait uB-
til their opportunity came.
Even when Sir Henry had advanced
some distance In his Indian life, nons
OF his contemporaries thought that he
would live 20 cs.s..!c them ell The
mutiBy was the slow developing mans
opportunity, and Lucknow made him
immortal.
A shell burst into the room where
he directed the besieged, and shattered
his thigh; great suffering preceded his
death, but the spirit Of the great man
remained undfsturbed.

EXCHANGE.
ssT'he great Bow view" As Bismarck
IL irreverently called In German par
liamentary circles, only shows himself
In the rcichstAg when he has some.
thing important to say, Then he on.
terra the house Immediately before his
time for speaking comes round and
leaves Il rs soon ~ he has said what he
wishes to say. Though the ehancel-
lor tries to keep his intention to speak
close secret, the fact leaks out, and
the crowded assembly hall shows sha.
neither tho reiohstag nor Berlin has
been taken unawarcs.
Thoae who attend know that tho
chancellor IL not far away when they
see his we'll known portfolio and great
lead pencil deposited upon the front
ministerial bench. On entering the
hall, Bismarck gees at once to his
place. opens the portfolio, takes esom
IL sheets Of notes and bundle Of
newspapers and cuttings, arranges
them with care and then chats with
his colleagues.
The write~ In Temple Bar, from
whose essay we have taken this de-
scription, Gays that Bismarck Is no
orator, and despises oratory. "The
gilt OF eloqucnce," no once said, "has
done much mischief In parliamentary
life. Oatory is waste of time let
us restrict ourselves TO statements OF
facts"
Ills voice Is not musical, and at
times 10 80 weak ~ To make II difficult
for the reporters to follow him, He
adopts semi conversational style, be-
gins slowly and monotononsly, and,
with the exception of casual breaks,
proceeds and ends AZ he begins. As
the chancellor's tongue cannot keep
pace with HIS thoughts, no now and
then breaks Off In the middle of sen
tence and takes up new thought,
leaving his hearers 10 make the best
they can OF his half. tlnished sentences.
The chancellor never deelaims, never
| fiRt;ers, nor eQuivocates. Ills official
position causes the reichstag TO treas
ure up his utterances, but he does not
disdain to aid them by apt quotations
forciblc SMILES and witty illusions.
Though he once lecturcd the Prus-
sian parliament on the uselessness oi
yerhoalty, the chancellor usually
speaks one hour, and has even c xceeded
two hours. He speaks c1tempore
though the heads of his speech and tho
newspaper quotations are carefully
noted on sheets OF paper.
Bismarck's speeches arc full Of such
weighty words and proverbIal phIlos-
ophy ~ these political aphorisms
"Compromise Is everywhere the basis
of constitutional life +" "a great state
IL not TO be ruled according to party
views" He who has his hand on the
money bag has the power" Freedom
ls luxury which every man cannot
allow him Ssif;" In n year and half
much evil may bc done, but not mlch
good One Is willing enough to bo
pro Qeted, but not to pay for tho pro-
tec,ion;" "a place never fulnlls all
wishes, and is never just to ali rights; "
"Let us learn TO respect fidelity TO
conviction In opponents"
As soon as Bismarck has said all he
wants TO say, he gathers up his papers,
exchanges courtesies with friends and
leaves the house.

Earthquake at Sea.
Youths Companion.

Upon first thought it may seem
strange that the slight movements OF
an earthquake should be felt upon the
water; but experience shows that the
shock Is felt on board ship % well
IS in house.
This results from the inelasticity OF
the water. Just as fish, some feet
below the surface, may be killed by 0
blow from q paddle upon the water
directly above him, so ship Is affected
by the force of an earthquake COM
municated through the water.
Favorable opportunities for observ-
Ing the phenomena attending an earth
quake under the sea are not frequent.
A traveller I'm south America some
years ago learned from q ship master
how his vessel was affected by one
while lying at anchor In the road
stead OF Valparaiso.
The shock occurred about midnight.
1t aroused the captain from sleep, and
1t seemed to him, he said, to be such q
shock a. might have been caused by
the ship striking against the rocks.
This appeared to be followed by rude
scrapings and thumpings, as II she
were driving over . bed of rough
ground.
The captain thought, therefore, at
first, that he was aground, or that,
after dragging her anchor, his ship
had struck against some rocks, or some
other vessel In the port. Upon find
ing that the ahip was riding steadily
In the midst of the fleet, he supposed
that an earthquake had happened.
In the morning visitors from the
shore brought word that there had
been an earthquake In the night, and
that the earth had been twice violently
agitated for one or two minutes.
