 The Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity of their new Chapter House. At the banquet. Professor A. P. Kelsey, '56. of Clinton, pre- sided. Among the guests was A. Miner Grisweld, '59, Fat Contributor" editor of "Texas Siftings," who responded to the toast 'sThe Girl we left behind us" in the following strain:
 MT. President and brother Dskes: The toast you have assigned me is one that touch se very tender chord in my heart. have always felt sorry for ths girls we left behind us. It seemed cruel at time, but how could we help iti Circumstances were such that we couldn't possibly take them along-we had to leave them behiud us. I think I I think promised three or four to come back for them in the spring or early autumn, but was too bury for several years to attend to it, and after that-welI, was afraid, my wife mighit not like it. met one of the girls we left behind us in the street to-day. That is, thought did. The same soft, brown eyes, the same sweet, sunny smile.
 "Isit possible" said, "that behold Miss Sally Jones.'
 "That was my motherssname, n she smiled, "before she was married. am marsied now, and have named my baby after ma."
 Great heavensl The girl left behind me was grandmother
 G0lo the yonnG lady who was, and she said ahe had often heard her mother speak of me as one she used to know a great many years ago. Then asked about the girls I used to know, and what had became of fhem. found that some, alas, were dead. Others, who were married, wished they were dead. Some, who were widows, had lovers seeking for their hands. Others, not yet widows, were seeking for divorces.
 Oh, those seminary girls of long ago-how we did regret leaving them behind ua-sxcept one poor fellow who eloped with one of them. He has regretted all his life that he didn't leave her behind with the rest of them. But we had to go and leave them. Fate beck

oned us on. And, in some cases, the faculty urged us to go. Were we too blame, then, for temporarily forgetting the debts-I mean the girls we left behind usi Why, some of us to leave our trunksl
 A rare collection of girls they were, gentle men, as recall them now. Tall, willowy girls: short, plump girls; black-eyee girls that made us blne, and blue-eyed girls that we were ready to take black eye for any time: fair eomplexionsd girls, brown girls, Smith girls, girls with auburn hair, and girl who, not being able to match their own hair in auburn, were compelled to buy it in Utica or Syracuse. In fact there was about every kind of girl, then that there is now, except the tailor-made girl who seems to be altogeth- CT modern creation. Still, the latter has points in her favor. While the girl 30 tend erly recall possessed virture, beauty, intelli- gence and many engaging ways. must ad- init that she somehow lacked the get-up-in fact she hadn't the hustle of the girl of to- day.
 No, brothers of o1den times, we must con- fess that in comparison with the tailor-made girl of to-day, the girl we loft behind us had very little left behind her.
 Still VIC remember her with tenderness and respect, and let us all join in bumper to tho girls of long ago.

SINGLE COPIES THREE GENTS.
CuTNESE QUESTION.

The Chinese are troublesome in other parts of the world than this. In Australia they have long been frightening the whites by their number, their persistence and their cheap labor. In order to head them off the people of Australia began by imposing tax of $50 per head upon each Chinese immi- grant in the hope that this would prove an effective barrier. But although this brought in money to the treasuries of the different colonies it did not check the current of inn migration, which seems to have been all the stronger now that barriers of various kinds partially prevent Chinese access to the United States As colonists of Great Britain the people of Australia are not in a position to negotiate treaty with the Emperor of China in the manner adopted by our government, and large number of the Chinese immi- grants come from Hong Kong, an English colonial possession, and can readily claim to be English citizens.
 Awhile ago the Chinese government sent two commissioners to Australia for the pur
 pose of examining into the condition of Chi ness residents in those colonies, and their official report was to the effect that even the imposition of the entrance tax of $50 per head was in violation of treaty stipulations with Great Britain, and that fer this reason the Chinese government should insist upon it's repeal. This measure perhaps led the Australian people to realize the necessity of bringing the question. to 2 definite issue, for they have passed laws in several colonies ab- solutely prohibiting the landing of Chinese on their shores. A few weeks ago two yes
 sells loaded with Chinese immigrants arriving
 at Sydney were compelled to carry their car goes back to China because the local govern ment refused to permit them to land at their ports, and the house of representatives al New Zealand has passed bill prohibiting | Chinese immigration.
 The Chinese can easily overrun the Aus tralian colonies if they are allowed to. It if
 said that nine-tenths of the people of Austra Iia are hostile to them. It remains to be
 seen whether England will or can compel ths
 colonies to respect treaty arrangements whiot | are detrimental to their interests

 A Lewiston little girl disconcerted Presi- dent Cleveland the other day. Her parents were en route from the West to Maine, via Washington, where they passed few days. In their party were clergyman and his wife, who particularly desired to see the President. The little girl made up the third of the party, and with the clergyman and lady called at the White House The Presi- dent shook hands, and as he took the maid en's palm in his she spoke up and said in 8 resolute treble: 'I am glad to see you, sir.

A couple of instances of amusing blunders foreigners may make in speaking English swers given me the other day and I have that they have not before been printed, Boston letter to the Providence Journal. 4 lady who had learned English in school in
 Europe, where she was recounted remark
 able proficient in our language, came to this
 country to take charge of an establishment.
 Brought face to face with the practical re-
 quirements of everyday life, her English
 proved less comprehensive and accurate than might have been wished and the evidences
 Iected from living speech gave good deal of amusement to those those around her.
 On one occasion she wished to direct ser want to kill 8 chicken and after plucking 1t to bring her the feathers. The form which her directions took was: "Die me that beast and bring me his vestme at." Perplexing as
 the servant must have found this order, his
 astonishment can hardly have been equal to that of carpenter to whom was addressed 8
 Still more amusing blunder by this lady she had an idterview with him in reference 10 some alterations she thought of undertak-
 ing in her dwelling, but found the estimates
 he made so large that she determined not to have the work undertaken. In g short time however, she found herself so incommoded by the state of the house that she decided it would be necessary to have the alterations made even at the fgnre named by the carpen- ter. She accordingly sent for him, and once more carefully explained what she wished to have done. To her surprise the man prompt ly named price for ths woIk which was considerably in advance of his previous esti- mate and his feelings may be imagined when in her consternation her peculiar English betrayed her into saying: "Why, sir, you are dearer to me than when we were first en- gagged" If the carpenter appreciated a, joke he should have sealed down his figures.

An Earl Knocks OUt a Sweep.
 From the Pall Mall Gaxette.1


 A few days ago noble earl, an apt pupil of West end professor of boxing, had been dining rather freely at one of the clubs and as he passed along the strand in evening dress he came into collision with sweep just emerging from Drury court, who, to ssady himself placed his sooty hands on his lord- ships irreproaceable white shirts front. To hit out at the at the sweep was the noble mans first impulse, and landing on chum- mys nasal organ the carmine and black was soon minglinR. Nothing daunted, the sweep pulled himself together and tried all he knew to get on equal terms, but in short time he was so battered and bruised that his pals from the tfLsHe," who had now mustered strongly. came up and it was a case of one down and the other come on.
 Stimulated, no doubt, by the bottle or two of port he hrd imbibed his 1ordship knocked the pride of Drury Lane down one after the other like nine-pins, calmly asked, like Fitz- james of Roderick Dhu's band, for one and all to come on. We den't know how it might have fared with my lord had not policeman arrived on the scene and dispersed the threat ening crowd, while his lordship, feeling that he had earned 6 drink, sauntered into tav4 ern close at hand and partoek of 8 modest Queneher.

 it in boxes with lace paper round the edges,
 then they wrapped every cake separate in a purity paper, and some of them got to giving

that this period, from 1883 to 1888, has been one of very general trade depression.

 one of very general trade depression.
 The peach crop has been ruined several times, but the Delaware peach growers have an embarrassment of riches on their hands this season. The immense crop on that pen insuIa is estimated at from ten million to twelve million baskets, and the problem which now presents itself is as to how this unprecedented harvest is to be marketed. Owing to the perishable quality of this de- 1icious fruit quick shipments have to be pro- vided for and the railroads are to make ar- engagements to carry it as far west as Chicago and as far north as Montreal. It is even pro- posed to ship some of the fruit to Europe, first treating it to the evaporsting process to prevent decay.
 John Wanarnaker now has his life insured for million dollars, paying about $e5, 600 g year in premiums. If he wished to do SO he could go on the street at any moment and borrow half million dollars on his risks. John B. Stetson and Hamilton Disston, also of Philadelphia, carry respectively $750, 900 and $500. 900 life insurance. Dr. Hostetter of Pittsburg, PeAn., carries $500, ,000..
