It,s z Way Ncws,ors Eare.

4 gentleman relates the following Incl
dent, which happened on the corner of
Clark and Monroe streets. The incident
was an illustration of pure and unadul-
terated uRseldshnesS, and considering the
eourse it IS worthy Of the fullest apprecia-
tion. This source was q newsboy. He
WAS little, and he was dirty. He had g
bundle of papers under his arm, and there
was certainly nothing in his appearance to
indicate that ho would not jump at any
chance to make penny. On the corner
near where the boy stood a blind man can
be seen any morning or evening in posses
sion Of a bundle Of papers he is fanil-
lar object TO all who pass thst way, and ne
has for his custoners all the merchants,
clerks and Office men in the immediate
neighboThocd, besides occasionally catch
ing transient. The gentleman relating
the incident wanted an Evening Post and
asked the blind man for It, He had sold
out, and in consequence was unable to give
the gentleman what he wanted. Seeing the
boy not far away the gentleman went 70
him for the paper he wanted The lad
Jerked his gTimy thumb on his dirty hand
toward the blind man and then inquired;
Amt he got noueg"
The would be purchaser said he Just in
quired, and had been informed that the
stock was exhausted. The boy looked
cautiously n his customer for an instant
and said: "P' rars he amt and p'raps he
has; you list wait a bit" The lad went to
the blind man and was seen 70 hand him q
paper, saying something at the same time
He then returned ana informed the Gus
toner that the blind man could supply
him. The gentleman secured the paper.
and told the boy ne bad seen his action and
that he would like 70 know what it meant.
We'll, yer see, said the lad. ives agreed
to let the blindy have this yere corner. and
we don't none on Us sell no papers here. II

Designs on the Coin.

There has been some salk about the
advisability of changing the designs on
United States coin on the ground that the
present symbols are not appropriate nor
artistic. Director Leech is credited with
favoring such a scheme, but it is meeting
with opposition in some quarters. There
is bin in congress authorizing the steps
that would be preliminary to such a move,
but there is considerable talk that it will
not be passed, at least not prior to the
summer vacation.
Col. Bosbyshell, of the Philadelphia
mint, where any changes that were au-
thOrized would have to be made, has had
no official intimation of such a thing He
hesitates about giving his opinion on the
advisability Of doing such a thing, but it
is quite evident that he does not look on it
with favor. He says The experience Of
ether countries is that any such changes
are dangerous, and if made should only be
done after giving the matter the gravest
consideration.

THE PROPOSED HERALD BUILDING.

The menia for new newspaper buildings
has struck Chicago, and The Herald is a
victim. The work of tesring down old
structures on Washington street, between
Fifth avenue and La Sale street, will be
followed by the erection Of one Of the finest
newspaper buildings in the west. The
style of architecture will be renaissance
of the end Of the Fifteenth century-shght-
ly Gothic. The building viii be 81 feet
wide, 10 feet deep and 10 fest high. The
front will be highly and artistically orna-
mented, statue OF a medieval herald
blowing his official trumpet forming one
Of the chief decorations, while at night
many electric lights will make the struct-
ure stand out in bold relief. Especial re-
gard will be given TO those small things
which are so often neglected. Bathrooms,
barber shops and lunch rooms viii be fur
nished for the use of members Of the diff
ferent forces, and everything will be done
to assure the comfort of employees and ia
cilitate their work

when = -four mill gets ca fire, " says
John Lindsay, chief of the IRE department,
the depart ment IS satisfied TO save the
adjacent property. There is nothing out
side Of powder mill or paint shop that
is as conbusnible as a -four mill I have
heard g great deal about the explosive na
ture of -four dust, but l know nsthing on
the subject. My own idea Of the reasons
why a -four mill burns like bonfire Is that
il is built of wood in the first place. and
that every part is connected by conveyers
fues, elevators. etc. Start a fire in any
portion Of 4 IEiI and within five minutes
the whole structure is in flames. The de
partment never did save but one mill. In
that case the fire commenced on an upper
floor and we kept it there. st. Louis

Explaining a situation.

1t was at a railroad depot in Tennessee
It was a warm, fair day, and the four OF
five Of US who were going TO take the train
sat on bench on the shady side of the
building Out on tie platform was piled
lot of cotton and to the left of US sat
three mon, in the center sat two, and three
others were on our right. Just why shose
eight men should sit ont there In the sun,
each group talking by itself and apparently
ObliVious to the presence of the others, ex-
cited my curiosity, and by and by as ne
gro drayman backed up after a couple OF
barrels of salt asked him TO explain.
Il kin tell yo', fur shore" he promptly
replied. Dat crowd on de left is de Bak-
ers-ole man an two boys Dat crowd on
de right is de Stevenses-ole man an two
boys. Dem air chaps in de center is named

VIII Exclusion Exclude the Chinese >

W III LACluA1Oh bnE NbIDeSG
Sir John Bowring not only testified to
this perpetual outflow of Chinese inmi-
grants, but he paints in vivid colors the
causes which lead to these results. he
saws: There Is probably no part of the
world in which the h2rvesss Of mortality
are more sweeping and destructive than
in China, producing voids which require
no ordinary appliances 10 fll up. Multi
tudes perish absolutely from want of the
means Of existence; foundations destroy
towns and villages and all their iuhab-
itants; it would not Be- easy 70 calculate
the loss Of life by the typhoons and hur-
ricanes which visit the coasts of China,
In which boats and junks are sometimes
sacrificed by hundreds and by thousands.
The late civil wars IN China must have
led 70 the loss Of millions OF lives. The
sacrifices of human beings bv executions
alone are frightful.
It IS such a condition Of things, and
such causes ss these. that induce the
laboring classes Of Chinese 10 immigrate
to other countries. Considering the in
centive which exists in these densely
populated districts 70 escape from the
misery which marks their existence, and
20 seek new lands where their condition
NAV be bettered, the dangers that
threaten from such inexhaustible sources
Of human supply become easy of appre-
siation. Willard Z. FarxeIl II Popular

BLAINES SUPERIORITY.
The London Chronicle Pays Him High
Compliment,

LONDON, July 24-The Chronicle SAYS:
''Mr. Blaine proves himself an abler man
in controversy than Lord Salisbury. al
though having a worse case TO defend.
The representatives Of England seem mere
babies in the hand of Mr. Blaine. 1t is
obvious that Lord Salisbury at an
early period OF the discussion be-
came sensible of his inferiortv
in delicate skill TO his opponent.
lost his temper and deliberately insulted
MIR Blaine by declaring that he conducted
the negotiations in the interests of party
Rud not in the interests of the country.
Clever as Mr. Blaine's logic may be. how
ever, it does not alter the fact that no
claim. Russian or American, no admission
of John Quincy Adams, can convert a vast
open sea into a mare clausum.
