That Everlasting Chinaman.

There he sat dancing up and down
on the waves, 1 saw him quite plainly
through the captains glass. A China
man sitting on a tea box in mid-ocean
with his que dragging behind him in
the salt water, was indeed a novel
sight. He showed signs of extreme
exhaustion. The captain ordered the
boat lowered from the davits, and in
a few moments the unfortunate cast
away was lying on his back in one of
our pleasant rooms. An anxious
crowd gathered around with thous-
and questions which the poor fellow
could not answer. At last one of the
sailors commenced to look through the
Chinaman's pocket and brought out a
fine gold Elgin watch in which his
name was neatly engraved as follows:
Wau Lee, San Antonio, Texas. The
poor fellow thinking they thought
him dishonest, touched his right
pocket and a paper was produced
which was bill ofsale and receipted.

What the Farmers Have Lost.
[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.I
1t is said that Ohio wool-growers
have lost on an average; ten cents
pound on their product on account of
the Mills scheme to put wool on the
free list. That is to say, Ohio wool is
ten cents pound lower in price than
it was six months ago, and all because
of the mischievous attempt to remove
all restriction on the importation of
the foreign product. A like falling off
in the prices throughout the country
would, on the basis of last years
growth, make loss of $26, 100000 to
the wool-raisers of the United States.
This is a pretty big price to pay for
the luxury of democratic control in the
executive and legislative branches of
the government. Unless the demo-
cracy be turned out of power, however,
next November, the country will de-
serve all the losses which this power
brings. .L.,..
