The ties Of locality are very strong
among the Chinese, and hence new fami-
lies, as they are formed, settle down in
life in the immediate vicinity of that from
which they sprung, Thus one commonly
sees groups, or nests, of families gathered
about the parent stock. Whole villages
may be found composed almost exclusively
of persons of the same name, and contain
ing four and even five generations of one
family.
'SmithvilIe," ''Jonesviile, " or, to trans
late more exactly, 1.-The village of the
Chang family" '.the town of the Wang
family" The Ii Family Crossroads"-
these and similar names of hamlets, vii
lagos and cities are so frequent through
out China that they give large fraction
Of all the names to places in the empire.
The class of globe trotters," as they
are calIed-persons of wealth who travel
around the globe sight seeing-form a
never solved puzzle to the mind of the
Chinese. A Chinaman never leaves his
home except from necessity. While alb
sent, whether in foreign lands or in some
other part OF his own country, he always
looks upon himself as an exile, is always
more or less homesick. and. no matter
how dirty and sQualid his native village
may be, he looks forward to his return to
the wretched place as the chief Joy of his
life.
The Chinaman is not, and, without an
entire change of his nature, cannot, be-
come colonist. He is an acute and care
full merchant, a patient. faithful and dill
gent laborer, but, above everything else,
his home ties are strong. While he wan
iers all over the earth and submits to all
sorts of priyations, abuses and hardships,
he is only q wanderer whose deepest de-
sire is for home, a quiet old age with his
family, and, above everything else. burial
N the tombs of his fathers.-Chester w.

We publish else where brief com
munication from DIR. ATmor. In what
was said yesterday of the doctor as the
only political candidate in the field
for mayor; we certainty had 20 thought
of being misleading" AS the doctor
claims to vote for principles sake, and
as he is the nominee of his party, and
as such, the representative of party
principle, or shibboleth, we do not
yet quite see that we were ''mislead-
ing" However, if there be anything
misleading in political candidate it
may be corrected by saying that the
doctor is the only party candidate
the field. The distinction is some
what in the nature OF hair splitting, for
his party adopted atthe national con-
vention last fall full set of political
principles, which it is presumed the
party and all its members still stand
by.

Changed Their Plans.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 26.-The
action of Robert Garrett s party in Wis
ting Thomasville, Georgia, instead of
going to the City of Mexico as it was
announced they they would on leaving
Ringw0od, New Jersey, is explained by
a special from San Antonio, Texas, in
tO-daySs American The dispatch says
that Mexican papers have been pub
fishing dispatches describing CARROTS
trip thither, and estimating his wealth
up to $1O0,000,000 a band of
half breed desperadoes read them
and planned to stop CARROTS
train when it entered the Mexican
territory; they were to be heavily armed
and were to seize Mr.. Garrett and
those of his party thought advisable
to detain and hold them prisoners IN
cave until the relatives in Baltimore
should come down with tremendous
sum for ransom. The plan might have
succeeded but for the fact that one of
the outlaws got drunk and talked about
the scheme in San Antonio saloon
last week. The fellow was a
Mexican and talked in a low
tone but detective over
heard the story and communicated t
to his superiors. The Garrett party
were informed and thought it safer to
change their plans and go to Thomas
Vile and to Jacksonville which they
did. A letter received in Baltimore
yesterday from Mr.. CARROTS party
states that the trip to Mexico has been
abandoned for reasons best known to
Mr.. Garrett and his friends. The let
ter further states that Mr.. Garrett has
been much benefited by his trip, and
is now in excellent health and spirits.
The story from San Antonio has crea-
To- o.raifnn1nnf in RalfimnrQ hnS-
mess and financial circles, and while
lot much credence is given to it, it is
thought that it may be true. At the
Garrett banking house it is said that
the change of plans was merel a
fancy of a sick man.

Quite a serious and probably fatal
occurrence took place near the juno
ton school house last Sabbath evening.
They had Q meeting there and several of
the boys around there determined after
the meeting to have some fun. Ac-
cording to reports they had pistols, ETC.,
and on horseback rode up and down
the road at lively rate, and perfectly
at random, regardless of the people
going home from the meeting. Two
of the young fellows came tearing
down the road, not minding the people
in their way, but going headloDg. their
horses using the best speed possible.

Learning few days ago that lottery
lightning had struck Marlin to the tune
of So 600, and that Messrs. ]. E. John
son and Matt Walker were the lucky
individuals, Ball representative pro-
ceeded to ascertain the truthfulness of
the matter. Wemet Mr.. j. E. johnson
in town last Saturday. There was
nothing unusual in his countenance or
demeaDor, and he did not hesitate TO
state the facts. Mr.. johnson is a young
man engaged in the service of Mr..
Walker on his ranches. For two years
he has been investing a small sum in
the Louisiana State Lattery, but the
tickle goddess did not smile upon him
until last month. On Saturday before
the drawing Mr.. johnson and Mr.
Walker put up S25 each and purchased
so fractional tickets. Tha money was
sent by the Wells Fargo express and
reached it's destination promptly be-
fore the drawing. In due time the
tickets were received and on examina
ton it was found that they held one
twentieth of ticket No. "a, 100, which
drew the second capital prize of 800,
600. The ticket was placed in the banl
of Marlin for collection and wa!
promptly cashed on presentation, Mr.
johnson receiving 81 800 and Mr.
| Walker $500. Mr.. johnson says he
| proposes to continue investing small

srRAws I'm THE WIND.

The following dispatch from Boston
is not without interest. 1t says:
Out of 26I replies received by the
Transcript from leading men of the
state to a circular inquiry whether
they favored constitutional prohibition.
1873 are in the negative and 70 are In
the affirmative. OF the negative, 81
are lawyers, 32 clergymen. 43 mer-
chants and capitalists, college presi-
dents and professors, mayors and II
physicians. The Alternatives are small
er in number in each class except cler-
gymen, who number 50. The mega
| tfves mostly take the general ground
that if prohibition could not be en-
forced by statute it could not be en-
forced by constitutional provision. and
that the latter is unnecessary from any
point Of view. Among the negatives
| are Ex-Governor Rice. the Rev. G.. A.
Bartol, the Rey. Brooke Hereford,
President Eliot of Harvard. ex-G0v-
ernor Gardner and the Rev. E. H.
Hall. Most of them favor some sys-
tenn of high license.
| When such men, high in church and
state as the above named, declare
against prohibition as a practical sOlu'
ton of the liquor question, it must bt
admitted that the question is tar from
being, as its advocates claim, purely
one-sided. These men have witnessed
in their own and adjoining states TO
years the operation of the law. If i
did what is claimed for it, Prof. Eliot o
Harvard collegei is sufficiently intelligen
to have seen it, and the fact would b
enough to win his approval. He occu
pies an exalted station, one of the yer.
foremost in the onward march of ciYili
zation. He is potent factor in shap
ing the morals of the rising generation
AS friend to every rational and wei
directed reform, the weight of his au
thority is great. When such ma
, charged with his responsibilities say
"no'' to proposed reform. others ma
we'll doubt its wisdom or efficacy. Tn
people Of Massachusetts will soon vot
upon the question, and if the abov
dispatch indicates the current of popu
lar opinion, It will not be difficult t
guess the result of the election.

GENEEAL BRADFORD, since his re-
turn from his now famous Waterloo de-
feat in New Hampshire, is traducinR
Colonel Tomlinson by saying that he
himself wrote his interviews with the
press, ard otherwise made an ass OF
himself. To say such things of the
colonel strikes us as being very impo-
itic. 1t would not be so bad if the col
onel and not the general had been tum-
bled into the broth. AS it is, the latter
has adopted a rather doubtful way OF
complimenting himself. We still fail
to see that he has earned the governor
