Tens of thousands of Cinnamon leave
China every year and settle in other
countries, especially South America,
the islands of the Pacific, and the West
Indies; but it is rare thing for Chinese
women to leave the land of their birth.
There are probably less than one hun
dred of them in the United States, and
there are hardly any in Brazil or the
Sandwich Islands 1t appears by the
Cuban census which has just been taken
that there are now nearly fifty thou

eighty-four Chinese women. The GUS

A Cats Remarkable Performance.

A Jersey City family's cat is credited
with rather remarkable performance.
The family made change of domicile,
going not far away, taking the feline
with them, Pussy was not satisfied
with her new quarters, however, and
returned to the deserted house, where
she seems to have been kindly received
by the new occupants. Soon after a
litter of kittens appeared and the
mother took one of them to the new
home of the family she had left She
went occasionally to visit her progeny,
apparently to see that it was well cared
for; but, after making more careful
inspection than usual, one day, discon-
tinued her visits 1t seems as if by this
action she desired to make amends for
her detection from the family. Chicago

"Hoping for an early reply, am, yours, re-
spectfully, CHRISTIAN HEURICH."
The Commissioner of Agriculture did not
reply to this letter, and when applied to in
person first promised to furnish the desired
information, then changed his mind and re-
fused 1t. Another appeal was made to him
for justice and fair dealing and he promised
to make some reply to said request, but ut
terly failed and refused to do so:
AS none of the foreign substances mentioned
above were ever sent into the brewery, Mr..
Heurich knew that they could not be found in
beer manufactured by him, and he persisted in
his efforts to have the result of the analyses
made public. With this end in view be pc
titioned Congress on the subject and it was
referred to the Committee on Alcoholic
Liquor Traffic, of which Hon. James E.
Campbell, now Governor Of Ohio, was chair
man. In reply to Mr.. Heurich's request, the
following was sent him by the chairman Of
the committee:

"DRAR SIR: In reply to your letter of the
1st l would say that the committee reported
back the resolution with reference to the

permitted to call upon Congress for infor-

''None of the Committee doubted the pro-
priety of your having the information, but
they declined giving it to you for want of au-
thority to do so.
"They felt that you had been injured by the
publication of the Agricultural Bureau, but
had no potCer to correct the wrong.

Failing In his efforts with the Commissioner
of Agriculture and Congress Mr.. Heurich
took the matter into his own hands and sent
an envoy to the Department of Agriculture q
few days ago. His request for copy of the
analysis was promptly complied with, and 1t
is the result Of that mission which is put be-
fore readers of THE HERALD to-day.

foreign or home competition, for OF the thirty
other samples none approached the beer man

not being liable to turn sour. At that time
Mr.. Heurich was in Europe. Upon returning
to the United States and learning that the
analysis had been made at the Department of
Agriculture, Mr.. Heurich addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the Commissioner
of Agriculture:
'WAsHINGToE, January 25, 1885,
"Hon Norman j. Coleman, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c.:
"DRAR SIR: Your efforts to call the attention
of the public to the aduteration Of food and
drink deserve more than simple recognition
and should be encouraged not only by the
people, but especially by all honest manufac-
turers and dealers in all articles of consump-
tion Permit me to express the hope that
these efforts will, at an early day, result in
legislation which will make it crime to thus
cheat the people and to endanger, if not de-
stroy, their health and life.
"But while fully recognize the great value
of your work in this direction, | desire to call
your attention to the injustice your method Of
exposing frauds unintentionally works upon
honest manufacturers and dealers. The last
report on adulteratiOn issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture treats OF fermented
liquors, articles which are very generally used
by the people. The chemists of the Depart
ment have analyzed samples of large num-
Der of beers in the markets of this city, and 1t
is but reasonable to suppose that among them
were products of my brewery here. The report
shows several Washington beers to have been
adulterated, while others were found to be alb
solutely pure aud free from any foreign or
hurtful substance. AS the names of the
brewers who manufactured those different
beers are not given, the public naturally views
all which are brewed in this city with sus-
picion, and / have certainly suffered some
what from this general distrust. Knowing
that all beer manufactured by me is perfectly
pure, that no foreign substance Of any kind il
employed in its production, and that my
books, which are ready for inspection at any
time, will prove this assertion, L am confden
that mine is not the Washington beer which
the analysis showed to be adulterated o
