Australian Tariff on Chinamen.

A bill to restrict Chinese immigration has passed the colonial assembly at Sydney without one dissenting vote. This not only prohibits the naturalization of Chinamen in Australia, but imposes a poll tax of 2100 upon every Chinese immigrant, and only per mits vessels to land one Chinaman for every 300 tons. The legislative council of Victoria has ordered that vessels bringing Chinese im- migrants to the country be quarantined dur ing the pleasure of the authorities. Chinese cheap labor is such tempting plum for spectators in the contract system that it is no wonder that as soon as the United States excluded the Mongolians, Australia was in- flicted with an invasion of these immigrants, whose frugaity and industry n.ake it inn possible'fo laborers of other nationalities to compete with them.
 The judges in Sydney are of the opinion that the colonial governments have acted too precipitately in their stringent legislative en- actments without consultation with the i'm perial government; but England will prob ably waive the question, since the colonial rights were in such need of immediate protec- tion. It is said that the Chinese government wishes to retain its surplus population at home; and, if this be so, the negotiations of . treaty by the British foreign office will not be difficult. In following the example of the United States in restricting Chinese immi- grafton Australia has only adopted the usual methods of colonial protection.-Demorests Monthly.

New Style of Evening Parties.

A young man in Boston who is going abroad soon wished to entertain some friends before his departure. He knew they were surfeited with the ordinary style of evening parties. He wanted something orig inal He invited ten young ladies and nine young gentlemen. As each guest entered the reception room he or she received hand somely engraved card which bore the mysterious word "Causerie." A hint as to the meaning of what would follow was given by the quotation from Paradise Lost:" "With thee conversing, forget all time. !" After his guests had puzzled their brains try ing to decipher the meaning, the host vol unteered an explanation. Ten subjects were presented for discussion, and he had chosen ten couples to do the work Instead of spending the evening in dancing, each gen. tleman was expected to fill out his card with the names of the young ladies with whom he desired to talk. In that respect it differed slightly from the selection of partners for the dance. There could be no wall flowers The conversation must be general.
 Five minutes were devoted to each topic, and at signal from the host there was & general swapping of partners and a complete change ill the style of conversation. For instance, the company opened the ball by telling what they knew about Boston Busy B's, Baked Beans, Brown Bread, Baseball, Big Brains, Blooming Beauties, Blithesome Bachelors" When the young ladies had practically doored the gentlemen in regard to the relative merits of baked beans and brown bread as the best method of producing bid heads on ball tossers, they turned their attention to the topic: "The Lady or the Tiger-Whichr There was strong division on that as we'll as on the next topic, "Should Mrs. Cleveland be re-electedp' The others were: "Consciousness," "The real affinity between a red headed girl and a white horse, !"
