A LudicrOus Blunder.

Miss Cooper, daughter of James
Fenimore Cooper, the famous novelist,
says that on recent visit to Paris she
saw French translation to her fathers
tale, 1.-The Spy" in which there were
several mistakes, but one of them was
such that it was almost incredible that
any one could possibly have been guilty
of it. The residence of Mr.. Wharton,
one of the characters who figures in the
story, is spoken of by the author as
1" The Locust" The translator has
been evidently ignorant of the circum-
stance of there being any species of
trees bearing this name, and finding in
the dictionary the definition to be given
as Les Saturelles-grasshoppers y
thus he rendered it in the text. Pres
emily came statement that visitor to
the house of Mr.. Wharton had tied his
horse to locust. Then it might be
naturally supposed that the translator
would at once have discovered his error
Not a bit of it! His reasoning would
appear to have been somewhat on a
parity with that of a celebrated coun-
tryman of his, when he declared that
" if the facts do not agree with the
theory, so much the worse for the facts. "
Nevertheless, the writer seems to have
been conscious that some explanation
was due of so extraordinary a state
ment as that horseman had secured
his steed to a grasshopper. Conse-
quently he went on to gravely inform
his readers that in America these in
sects grow to an enormous size; and
that, in this case, one of these-dead
and stuffed, of course-had been sta
toned at the door of the mansion for the
convenience of visitors on horse back!

WHAT LADY CHAMPION PEDEs-
TRANS UsE.-Miss Ida Wallace, who
won the lady championship in the con-
tests at Madison Square Garden, Balti-
more, Detroit, New Bedford and again
in New York, says she feeds amost en-
tirely on this MoXie Nerve Food, which
nervous, weakly women use so much.
She says it gives her most extraordin-
airy powers of endurance and does not
react or lose its effect like stimuants.
1t also relieves the terrible overstrain
of the muscles, allowing a person to
continue severe effort long time.
Miss Wallace is enthusiastic over it,
and says she would have it if it cost five
dollars bottle. The company are
now putting out some of the finest fla
vored Moxie eyer made. 1t is luscious.

HARRIsON'S CHINESE RECORD.
Clear and Accurate Review of it by
Hon. John ID. Long.

q Clear and Accurate Review OF it by
Hon. John ID. Long.
The Boston Daily Globe deserves good
deal of credit for its enterprise in securing
from Ex-Governor John D.Long, of Massa-
chusetts, clear, truthful and non partisan
statement in relation to General Harri-
sons record on the Chinese question. 1t
is printed in full below, and should be
read by every fair-minded wage Garner in
the country:
Harrison, when Senator, voted in 1882
against what was called the Page bill. 1t
was bill which, as he and many other
sound lawyers believed, violated the pro-
tween the United States and China, and
there was, therefore, no other way in
which he could honestly vote, being a
statesman and not demagogue.
"But as to excluding the Chinese and
stopping the outrageous system by which
they were dumped upon the Pacific coast,
he was in favor Of accomplishing that OBJ
ject in the only way possible-by some bill
that should be in harmony with existing
treaty obligations, or by making new
treaty that would insure exclusion. In
fact, the Page measure, after it became
law, was found to be Intellectual, aud fur
ther legislation was necessary. A bill was
therefore introduced two or three years
ago, in the Forty-ninth Congress, by Mr.
Morrow in the House. and by Senator
Fair in the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, of which Senator Harrison was
a member.
1T was vigorous bill, carefully pre-
pared by members of Cor gress represent
ing the Pacific slope, and approved by
United States officials who were familiar
with the difficulties of enforcing Chinese
exclusion. 1t was drawn by Mr.. Morrow,
VINO had been Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney, and it was an advance on
any previous legislation. The Senate
committee unanimously reported it back
favorably, and it passed the Senate with
no dissenting vote, Senator Harrison,
therefore voting for it, although Senator
Hoar. it should in justice t his position
be said, opposed it in debate.
"It is said that in 1882 Harrison voted
against an amendment ex-senator Farley pro-
viding that no Court should admit Chinese
to citizenship. But as Senator Edmunds
then pointed out, our naturalization laws
already forbade Chinese naturalization. 1t
had been so decided in the Courts SEN
ator Edmuuds therefore proposed sub
stitute for Farley's amendment, as follows
Nothing in this Act shall be construed
TO change the existing naturalization
laws 50 as to admit Chinese
persons to citizenship Senator Harri-
son preferred the Edmunds amendment to
the Farley amendment, as any sensible
man well might, and voted for the former,
which fully covered the very point sought
for in the anti-Chinese interest"

Only twenty-four of the 100 arrested
were kept in custody all night. Of these
sixteen were discharged this morning. The
remainder are held for further examina-
ton.

The London Times" having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorially says: at would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-five years
ago. and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
Vsing them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
name"
